OPP costing to save Perth $101,610 Desmond Devoy

Community – Ed Chenard, left, Helen Campbell, Kerri Way, Sam Draffin and Build a Mountain of Food organizer Hugh Colton collected food at the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry and Thrift Store in Lanark on Nov. 15.
News – Perth will likely see its policing costs drop by $101,610 next year alone. The “very positive news” for the town on policing costs came in the form of an update to town council’s committee-of-thewhole on Tuesday, Nov. 4, by treasurer Lang Britchford. In his report, Britchford wrote that the “estimated fully phasedin saving will be approximately $530,000 in annual savings, post 2019.” However, he did caution
perintendant R.A. Philbin, commander of the Municipal Policing Bureau at OPP provincial command in Orillia, dated Sept. 29. More than half of Ontario’s municipalities are facing significant increases, according to Britchford’s report, and Perth is one of only 95, or 29 per cent, that will see a decrease of greater than $30 per property for policing service. The majority, 172, or 53 per cent, will see an increase of greater than $40 per See COSTING page P2

Community – It was a busy day at the grand opening of the new Giant Tiger in Perth but people were not too busy to donate to the Build A Mountain of food campaign. Helping collect the food on Nov. 15 were Gord Jones, owner of Giant Tiger with Carol and Ivan Jackson volunteers with the Good Food Bank. See story on page 4.
that “the exact details for 2016 and beyond are not yet known.” Even so, he recommended that the town sign a new, fiveyear contract with the OPP to begin in January, and “transferring these savings to reserves for future capital spending,” more specifically for the town’s “infrastructure gap.” “This savings… will go a heck of a long way to addressing that gap,” Britchford said later. The final details of the new OPP costing came to the fore in a letter to the town from Su-
News – Fido is forbidden from the splash pad. Perth town council’s committee-of-the-whole (COW) recently passed a bylaw outlawing the town’s furry friends from coming within nine metres of the splash pad at Conlon Farm, as well as the playground. Not only are dogs not welcome – following incidents where owners brought their pets to cool down, even bringing water dishes with them onto the play structure – their owners could also face $75 fines. The town’s
bylaw enforcement contractors will enforce the new rules, laid out by Shellee Evans, the director of community services, at the COW meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 4. The directive also covers the Mill Street playground. There were several complaints over the summer that necessitated the change. “They have been feeding/watering their dogs on the splash pad, letting them run at large, and allowing them to climb on playground equipment,” wrote Evans in her report to council. “Staff and parents are concerned with the cleanliness and overall
health concerns of the splash pad/playgrounds when animals are present. Well-behaved animals can act aggressively around screaming, running toddlers/children and may put the children in danger of nips and bites.” However, she stressed in her report that “pet owners may still enjoy bringing their pets to the community parks, but be limited to coming near the playgrounds with their pets,” she wrote. Over the summer months, town staffers placed temporary signs at Conlon Farm requesting See ROVER page P2

In addition, the Mills Community Support Corporation has already put together a Christmas gift basket and has been selling tickets with proceeds going to the Hub.

Community – In this constantly changing world, it’s reassuring to see some traditions being revived, especially around one of the best holiday traditions – Christmas. The now annual Christmas In The Rideau Craft Sale is back at the Gallipeau Centre on Saturday, Nov. 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. “Smiths Falls used to have a craft show at the Rideau Regional Centre years ago. It was a really big one, a fundraiser for United Way I think, and lasted a couple of days,” said Barb Willoughby, who along with Jacqui Stanzel is organizing the revival, now in its second year. In keeping with the original show, Christmas In The Rideau Craft Sale is also a fundraiser, but for the Hub Community Pool. This year is even more exciting because the craft show will coincide with the grand opening of the Generations Fitness gym and CardioFit 4 Life, as well as Natatia’s One-on-One fitness. “We’ll be taking visitors on tours of our facilities and explaining our fee structure to interested customers during the grand opening,” said Kerry Maidment, owner of Generation Fitness. They’ll also be offering healthy snacks and some of the CardioFit 4 Life class instructors will be on hand to answer questions. Meanwhile just around the corner from the Hub, the craft show, which is being held in the gym, already has 40 vendors registered and the organizers are still accepting new registrations. “We’ll accept new vendors right up until the Wednesday before the event,” said Stanzel. As it stands, proceeds from the vendor registration go to the Hub and so far the variety of vendors that have committed to taking part in the show run the gamut of crafts. “We’ve got baked goods for people and dogs, we have glass art, handmade Christmas cards and original handmade children’s clothing. We have handmade wooden ornaments and pens, we have a florist with Christmas and other arrangements. We have quilts, totes and baby bibs. We’ve also got two soap makers, jewellers and handmade scarves and wraps among other things, so far,” said Stanzel. The one-day event is free admis-
Big weekend in Perth, Lanark for Build a Mountain of Food campaign Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
News – It was a challenge that was accepted and smashed by grocery stores in Perth last weekend as the mountain of food is getting larger. Organizer Hugh Colton said he was thrilled with the success of the overall weekend in Perth and Lanark, despite the sluggish start. “Things really started to pick up later in the morning,” Colton said. In Lanark, the totals are on par with last year with is a good thing, considering the tighter budgets that people are having to deal with this year with increased financial pressures from utility and grocery bills. “We had a great turnout in Lanark,” Colton said. “We had a $500 cash donation from the Civitan Club, and another $600 from Scotiabank, Lanark, and then out of the blue, an anonymous donation of $1,500 came in.” Colton gave kudos to Serendipity Farm whose owner walked in with a bag full of groceries. For the Lanark Highlands Food Pantry, a donation of 585 pounds of
food was presented to the organization, along with $2,665 in cash. Colton said that cash in food donations made this year’s event equal to last year’s totals. In Perth, the challenge for the grocery stores was met with enthusiasm. At Foodsmith, 2,000 pounds of food was collected; Brownlee’s Metro, 3,000 pounds, then at Giant Tiger, 4,666 pounds were collected. Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer collected 5,000 pounds of food to win this grocery store challenge. And other great things happening in Perth included 1,200 pounds of food collected by Algonquin College’s Police Foundation. And on the day, while set up at these various locations, almost 10,000 pounds of food were collected along with $3,600 in cash donations. The Perth total included 738 banana boxes filled with food totaling 28,776 pounds of food for the Good Food Bank, along with $4,056.80 in cash donations. Wendy Quarrington, manager of the Good Food Bank, located at the Table Community Food centre, she
was thrilled with the outcome. “As always Hugh’s Build A Mountain of Food rocked it on Saturday, our warehouse is full and we broke last years pound count,” she said. At a time when most desperately needed, Quarrington said they were at the end of their budgeted amount in September. She was confident that the food collected during the Build a Mountain weekend would take the food bank through the holiday season and into the new year. At the end of week two, the donations are: 44,592 pounds of food and $5,800.16. Coming up This weekend, the Build a Mountain of Food will be in Smiths Falls at four locations including: Andress’ Your Independent Grocer, Giant Tiger, Food Basics and the Garden Market. All donations will be given to the Smiths Falls and District Community Food Bank. Colton was happy to announce four other food drives going on in town during the weekend for the cause. The Rideau Lakes Artists Associa-
tion is hosting its second annual Under $100 art show at the Smiths Falls and District Memorial Community Centre Friday through Sunday. They are seeking food donations. The Smiths Falls and District RedHawks boys basketball team is hosting a tournament this weekend at the high school where donations of food will be accepted for this campaign. The Smiths Falls Santa Claus parade Saturday will feature the Build a Mountain of Food float, accepting donations along the route.
Mayor-elect Shawn Pankow will have his Tesla car on display at the REAL Deal Store in Smiths Falls. He says he will give people a ride if they like. A donation to the food campaign would be welcomed as they try to fill the Tesla. “I think we should try to fill the car with food for Hugh,” Pankow said. He and his Tesla will be at REAL Deal Store from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. R0013007690_1120

Brown was first elected to Barrie city council in his early 20s and though he lost his first run for a House of Commons seat in 2004, he was elected in 2006. A Forum Research poll for the Toronto Star of Tory leadership candidates placed Brown in a three-way, last place tie at five per cent with Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli, and LambtonKent-Middlesex MPP Monte McNaughton. Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott lead the pack at 26 per cent of voters, while Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod was in second place at seven per cent. The poll was done via response phone calls of 1,104 Ontario voters at the end of October, beginning of November. The poll is considered to be accurate to within three percent-

News – Barrie Conservative MP Patrick Brown wants to be seen as a straight shooter – not as the leader of a party that shoots itself in the foot. “We have become very good at shooting ourselves in the foot,” said Brown, during a campaign stop at Chuckles Jack restaurant in Smiths Falls on Tuesday, Nov. 18, as he carries out his run to replace former Ontario Progressive Conservative party leader Tim Hudak. “We have to look back in the mirror.” Part of the reason for the party losing its fourth election in a row – under three leaders – is that the grassroots were not consulted on major policy announcements that seemingly came out of the blue,
like Hudak’s promise to cut 100,000 government jobs, or John Tory’s promise to fund faith-based schools in 2007. “I want to let the membership vet policy…Never again will we have a platform unless it is vetted by the party presidents and candidates,” Brown said. Had, say, the 100,000 job cuts proposal been put before such a convention, Brown is certain that the grassroots would have said, “Are you dreaming? That won’t sell.” Interestingly, the 100,000 job cut proposal was announced in his presence, during a campaign stop at the Barrie Country Club on May 9. “We allowed a back room culture at Queen’s Park to run the party,” he charged. He stressed repeatedly that, “I am the only outsider in the race.”

that, having worked as the chair of the federal Conservatives’ Greater Toronto Area caucus, he saw up close how Harper was able to build coalitions. “You’d be tough pressed to find a cop who supported Tim Hudak,” he said. “You’d be hard pressed to find a cop not supporting Harper…We are the party of public safety.” For more on Brown’s campaign stop, see next week’s paper.

that he was in no rush to “try to win over people who will never vote for us.” Instead, he wanted to win back people who he feels had been sidelined by the party in the last two elections. The Tories got into a mid-campaign spat with the Ontario Provincial Police Association (OPPA), which, for the first time ever, ran campaign ads against the Tories. When he spoke to Senator Vern White about the battle, White, the former Ottawa police chief, said that part of the reason for the falling out was because “no one asked us for our input.” “I want to bring them back into the family,” he said, adding that even nurses wanted to talk to the party and make suggestions. Clearly a great admirer of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, he observed

by William J. Brooke, music by Eric Rockwell and lyrics by Margaret Rose, by special arrangement with the authors. Directed by Lynda Daniluk, the play runs from Aug. 13 to 23.The story is suitable for the whole family. When her father, Captain Crewe, has to leave, young Sara Crewe is placed into the care of Amanda Minchin, the head of an exclusive private school for girls. Sara lives as a privileged member of the school due to her father’s wealth until he dies and leaves her with nothing. Then her life goes from one of plenty to that of a poor house maid. Mrs. Minchin agrees to keep her on at the school, but in the absence of her tuition payments, she has to work for her keep. Sara also refuses to accept that her father is dead and continues to try to locate him. The SFCT’s fall offering is another hilarious Norm Foster comedy, Sadie Flynn Comes to Big Oak, directed by Katharine Coleman. The play,
which runs from Oct. 15 to 25, begins when convicted husband killer Sadie Flynn is released from prison. She then decides to get off the bus and make her new home in the small town of Big Oak. Soon after her arrival, strange things begin to happen – to the delight of audiences everywhere. The 2015 seasons ends with another treat for the whole family: our Christmas pantomime, Puss In Boots by Ben Crocker, by arrangement with the author. The panto will be directed by Emily Duberville and run from Dec. 3 to 13. Patrons can now purchase a season ticket in voucher form for the six plays described above. The theatre is offering a “Six-Pack Flex Pack” for just $99, meaning that playgoers can select how they want to use their six vouchers to redeem tickets for any of the 2015 plays. The deal – which is good up to the deadline of Feb. 22, 2015 – offers a saving of almost 20 per
cent compared to the regular adult ticket price.

House tour funds enrich education in Lanark County administration. As a tour guest, you can be part of making the dream of post-secondary education possible for deserving candidates. For the last two years CFUW has also provided art supplies to a volunteer art teaching program at a local elementary school. Two CFUW members, who are artists, do the teaching. They donate their time and expertise because the arts are underfunded and because many teachers feel unqualified to teach art. For some stu-
dents who shine in the arts, the confidence gained in such a program can transmit to other areas of learning. CFUW also supports libraries and literacy programs. It is a real live win-win scenario. While you experience an insider’s view of lovely homes, beautifully decorated and enjoy the ambiance of beautiful music – and let’s not forget the cookies – you can take delight in knowing that you are helping further the cause of education in Lanark County.

Community – The Heritage Perth Christmas House Tour has been a holiday fixture now for eight years and tour guests over the years have found that it is well worth the ticket price. Perth seems to have an unlimited number of lovely heritage or heritage inspired homes. The extra touches are what make this tour shine. Local decorators and florists regularly use their skills to dress the houses for the holidays. Visitors are entertained by talented local musicians as they tour. Noteworthy this year is the presence of Juno award winning singer songwriter James Keelaghan. It wouldn’t be Christmas without delicious cookies and these will also be available courtesy of the Sunflower Bake Shop. The whole community supports the event as evidenced by the specially priced lunches offered to ticket holders by St. James Anglican
ing shows—outstanding plays like the pantomime, Jack and the Beanstalk, on stage before this Christmas from Dec. 4 to 14; great movies; and special events.

From April 16 to 26, the Station Theatre presents Love From a Stranger by Agatha Christie & Frank Vosper, produced by permission of Samuel French Inc., directed by Katharine Coleman. Cecily Harrington’s fiance is traveling in the Sudan, when she wins a big prize in a sweepstake and decides to postpone the wedding to spend a portion of the money on a European trip. During her travels, she meets Bruce Lovell, who sweeps the romance-craving Cecily off her feet, marries her, and takes her to his outof-the-way cottage in the country. However, Lovell is not the charming gentleman he appears to be. Instead, he is a homicidal maniac of the most eerie, repulsive type, and is resolved to murder his new wife, just as he has murdered

Arts – The board of directors of the Smiths Falls Community Theatre (SFCT) has just announced its lineup of plays for the 2015 season. It’s a delightful mix of comedies and mysteries from well-loved playwrights, a children’s musical in its Canadian premiere, and another rib-tickling Christmas pantomime. The season opens with Leading Ladies, by Ken Ludwig, produced by permission of Samuel French Inc, and directed by Jamie Schoular. The show runs from Feb. 12 to 22, 2015. The comedy tells the story of two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, who find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing “Scenes from Shakespeare” on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as

Precautions rise as temperatures fall
E
ditorial – Even though winter does not officially begin, the arrival of snowy weather throughout our coverage area on the weekend served as a reminder that it’s going to get a lot colder before we will be able to enjoy again the comparatively balmy conditions experienced on Remembrance Day. With that in mind, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is offering tips for dealing with cold weather. Some of them might seem to be common sense items that do not need to be restated each year, but there’s no harm in providing a seasonal refresher that could end up being of value to residents of the tricounty area. For example, the health unit reminds us to be aware of how medications or health conditions might increase a person’s risk of being injured or hurt by winter weather conditions (and especially the cold). There are also dangers associated with using ovens or space heaters as heating devices. There are also the usual precautions to
keep in mind: wear layers of warm and dry clothing, cover exposed skin surfaces in the outdoors and maintain a heated environment with temperatures at or near 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit). It might seem a bit early in the pre-winter season to think about hypothermia, but anyone who is exposed to the elements for long periods of time and whose body temperature goes too low could be in real danger and require immediate treatment. Being aware of the signs of hypothermia (shivering, loss of memory, slurred speech, lethargy and loss of consciousness) is a start. Someone who is experiencing hypothermia might not be able to think clearly, so it could be up to others to recognize the signs and seek medical attention right away. For tips on dealing with cold weather, visit www.healthunit.org or call 1-800660-5853. Winter is a fact of life with which most Canadians have come to terms, but a reminder of how to cope with low temperatures and wind chill is a good thing.
Aunt Lizzie's hand-me-down box contained surprise treasures Lifestyle – The hand-me-down box had arrived from Regina.

Often Aunt Lizzie would tuck in a piece of new material for Mother, knowing full well it would be put to good use, or there would be one of her purses that looked like it had just come out of the showcase of an elegant store. Audrey and I had settled ourselves at the kitchen table thumbing through Eaton’s catalogue. Father, as usual, not the least bit interested in the box, had moved to the rocking chair by the Findlay Oval with the Family Herald and Weekly Star. Mother, as organized as ever, placed the clothes in matching piles, so there was a heap of sweaters, shirts, odd pants, and an

assortment of odds and ends she would find a use for. Nothing was wasted. Audrey and I paid scant attention to the box or what was being taken out of it. Then Emerson asked, “What is it?” Mother said it was a raincoat. I glanced over
to the centre of the kitchen floor where all the action was taking place. None of us owned a raincoat, for heaven’s sake. If we got wet walking to or from school, we got wet, and that was the simple truth. Mother held it up. “It looks
like it was made for a midget,” Everett said, obviously very relieved it would never fit him. As one, four pairs of eyes left the box and settled on me at the kitchen table. “Oh no,” I wailed, See MARY page 9

frontline communities known as “sacrifice zones” whose health and livelihoods are affected by air and water pollution as a result of the extraction and processing of fossil fuels. These polluters included oil refineries in Wilmington, California and Toledo, Ohio, open petroleum coke piles in southeast Chicago, and fracking wells and waste injection sites in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Other messages came from people affected by the severe ongoing drought in the southwest and those fighting the Keystone XL pipeline in Nebraska. At our closing event on Nov. 1 we shared stories from all the states we traversed and symbolically left our shoes on the stage. While the physical demands of walking many miles every day and camping most nights is something that many people told me they couldn’t do, many of my Canadian friends were happy to sup-

“I’m not wearing that to the Northcote School.” Bad enough that I had to wear boys shoes that came from Regina. Mother told me to go over and try it on. It was as black as a boot and stiff, boy was it stiff, with big silver clips all down the front of it. “Be great for Halloween…too bad it’s over,” Emerson snorted. I prayed on the way over to the pile of clothes that it wouldn’t fit me. Mother fed my arms into the coat, did up the clips and declared it a perfect fit. The inside was exactly like the underside of our oilcloth on the kitchen table. I told her I was smothering in it. I told her I couldn’t bend my arms. I told her it smelled just like the tires on the Model T. I told her I would rather be caught dead than be seen in something called a raincoat that I’d never even heard of before! As happened so often in my young life, my sister Audrey saved the day by saying I wouldn’t have to worry about it anyway, because winter was just around the corner, and I would soon be in my melton cloth pants and jacket. “Nobody wears a raincoat in the wintertime,” she said. “And by next spring you will have grown at least a foot, I’d say, and it won’t
port my 100-day participation in the climate march. Each day I wore a photo of the children or grandchildren of my supporters and then carried a banner made up of all the photos into Washington. While we marched an average of about 15 miles per day, I walked 22 miles (35 km) in one day, once. The “spirit marchers”, who marched every step of the way from Los Angeles to Washington, DC often marched over 20 miles in a day. At 71, Miriam Kashia was the oldest and only female spirit marcher. No matter how tired she was or how much she hurt, she kept marching. She inspired me to keep going when the going was tough. I hope that you will catch the fire of passionate determination to take your own actions on climate change. Stay informed about the climate crisis and how you can do more to solve it. The Climate Reality Project Canada has hundreds of volunteer climate leaders who are availfit you anyway.” Well, Mother wasn’t about to waste a perfectly good piece of clothing that came in the hand-me-down box. She hated mice with a passion and even though everything was battened down in the summer kitchen, like the wood lid on the sauerkraut barrel and the tin boxes that held frozen pies and cookies, she was never sure the mice couldn’t find a way to invade what would be going into our mouths. The next morning when I went to the summer kitchen to bring in wood for the wood box, as I did every morning, there was the raincoat draped over the sauerkraut barrel, with the round wood lid squeezed tight on top of it, offering further protection from the field mice which came into the summer kitchen to avoid the outside elements. I would never know if Mother used the raincoat on the barrel because she actually feared a mouse would get into the barrel. Just maybe she figured having to wear boys brown brogues to the Northcote School was punishment enough. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Interval House encourages community to take part in 16 Days of Activism News – Over the past 35 years, Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) has continued to engage in the good fight to end violence against women and their children. Through programs, services, public advocacy, political action, education, and community engagement we continue to make every effort to ensure that women and children’s voices and lived experiences are heard. Nov. 25 is recognized as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. The 16 days that follow are referred to as the 16 Days of Activism. During these 16 days leading to Dec. 10, which is
Human Rights Day, we are all called upon to take action to end gender based violence. As we recognize and honour our 35th year of service and as we approach the 25th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre Dec. 6, we want to engage as many people as possible in taking action. Last year, Lanark County Interval House supported the Purple Scarf Campaign, using the scarf creatively to engage leadership and we ended up with a great poster showing many faces of those committed to end violence against women. This year, it seemed quite fitting,
being an anniversary year, to engage and challenge the many sectors that are also impacted by violence whether in their homes, communities, educational institutions and/or work places. We have chosen 16 sectors and we are asking you, encouraging you, and we will support you, to do your part during the 16 days to make it clear that you don’t tolerate violence and hate in your community. During the 16 days engage your workplace and do something! Perhaps attach a statement to each paystub related to violence, host a public education lunch with LCIH staff and honour the issue, gather your col-
leagues and review your violence in the workplace policy, survey your team to learn about those in your sector impacted by violence, host an event, raise funds for your local shelter, donate holiday gifts, or sponsor a family. Most importantly, have conversation, as we are all impacted by violence and we are all equally a part of the solution. So please find your way to honour this solemn occasion and lived reality by finding your passion to take action to end violence. Let us know your plan, how we can help and how we can share your actions to effect change and inspire others!
We appreciate your ongoing support and we are confident that together we can continue to make a difference! For more information, visit lcih. org. Submitted by Erin Lee, executive director, Lanark County Interval House.

liam St. West in Smiths Falls, opposite the Railway Museum. It is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The REAL Deal diverts approximately 40 tonnes/year of good materials from area landfills. Submitted by the Rideau Environmental Action League.
It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas …

Community – Dec. 6 marks the 25th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, a day recognized annually in Canada as the National Day of Action and Remembrance on Violence against Women. Fourteen women were murdered by a lone gunman walking through the halls of l’Ecole Polytechnique, identifying the reason for his crimes as simply that they were women who dared to pursue an education and training in a career traditionally held by men. Each year, Lanark County hosts an event to honour not only the women who lost their lives in Montreal but also for the women and children in our own communities who live with violence in their homes or who have been victims of violence in the past. This year’s event is being hosted by the Survivor Engagement Project of Lanark – a group supported by Lanark County Interval House and the Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence (SADV) Advisory Committee of Lanark County.

about what the new bill would mean for local families. SarahJane Laberge, who spearheaded the rally, says the coalition is generally in favour of the bill being passed into law, but wants to see it amended to cut the amount of lost daycare spaces and to give independent childcare providers the right to be licensed.

Winter fashion extravaganza at MVTM Nov. 28 INSIDE Community – Get ready for a fabulous and fashionable winter at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (MVTM) on Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. Almonte’s own VAMOS Outdoors will be showcasing fashions for all occasions – from the out-ofdoors to out on the town. VAMOS features Canadian lines in clothing
and footwear for both men and women. The show will highlight their wide range of apparel from coats and outerwear to dresses and shirts, as well as hats, scarves and bags. Let’s not forget their fabulous aprés ski wear either. Décor for the show will feature floral arrangements and botanicals by Acanthus – some in their very own “sweater
pots” – together with decor from the Tin Barn Market. This not-tobe-missed event will also include a $200 gift certificate to one lucky audience member, and will be your last chance to purchase tickets for the museum’s raffle of a gorgeous black silk shawl with peacock feathers by NUNO, valued at $236.
Food will be provided by Patrice’s Independent Grocer. There is a limit of 150 tickets, so don’t wait. The cost is $25 and tickets are available from the museum and at VAMOS Outdoors. For information, call the MVTM at 613-256-3754. Submitted by the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum.
WHEN IT COMES TO ALCOHOL...
Do you know about CANADA’S LOW-RISK DRINKING GUIDELINES?
ottawavalley .COM
Visit our website, click the calendar and start posting events FREE!
These low risk drinking guidelines can help you make decisions about drinking alcohol. Knowing your limits and standard drink sizes, can help you make the right decisions for you. When it comes to alcohol, size matters. Understanding standard drink sizes matters since some drinks have more alcohol in them than others; here are some things to keep in mind: One standard drink means 1, 12oz bottle of 5% alcohol, beer, cider or cooler; 1, 1.5oz shot of 40% hard liquor (vodka, rum, whisky, gin, etc.); 1, 5oz glass of 12% wine. Women should drink no more than 3 drinks on any single occasion. Men should drink no more than 4 drinks on any single occasion. To reduce long-term health risks, women should drink no more than 10 drinks a week, and men should drink no more than 15 drinks a week. Remember that a cooler, beer or cider may have more than 5% alcohol which means it is not a standard drink.

Downside to making Remembrance Day a national holiday Lifestyle – As my son Craig and I stood with more than a thousand other people at the cenotaph in Carleton Place last Tuesday morning, I couldn’t help but wonder what the crowd will be like next year if Nov. 11 (Remembrance Day) becomes a national statutory holiday? The turnout this year, on the most beautiful weather day I have ever encountered on Nov. 11 was impressive. Veterans were joined by entire school classes and hundreds upon hundreds of

Meanwhile, at the National War Memorial in nearby Ottawa, a throng estimated at 50,000, double last year’s attendance, was on hand to take part in the national Remembrance Day ceremony. Among them was the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth II. The Ottawa turnout undoubtedly benefited from the wave of defiance and patriotism which has swept the country in the wake of the slayings of two Canadian soldiers by radicalized murderers last month. One of the victims was standing guard at the National War Memorial when he was shot to death by a man who later died in a hail of gunfire after storming into the Centre Block of Canada’s Parliament Buildings. Those shocking crimes have galvanized Canadians who were already showing renewed and growing support for our military. All things considered I can understand why some people want Nov. 11 to be further recognized by making it a national holiday. It appears that could happen as a private members’ bill wends its way toward final reading in the House of Commons in Ottawa. I believe when the question is put to the 308 members of Canada’s Parliament it will be difficult for them to say anything but “Yes” to the final proposal. It is now being discussed at the committee level after passing second reading in the House by a huge 258-2 margin, just prior to this Remembrance Day. Nov. 11 is already a holiday and paid day off in all provinces and territories except Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Manitoba. It would be up to those four provinces, representing slightly more than half the country’s working population, to change their labour codes to accommodate it. The bill would need to be finalized before the next federal election, scheduled for next October, to be law in time for Nov. 11, 2015. Legion opposed This certainly isn’t the first time the idea of a Remembrance Day holiday has been put forward and the Royal Canadian Legion, the country’s largest veterans’ organization, has wrestled with this question on a number of occasions over the years. I believe that without the support of the Legion this idea should be voted down. And contrary to what many people believe the Legion is opposed to making Nov. 11 a national statutory holiday. The Legion Dominion Command voted on the same matter at its annual convention in Halifax in 2012. The motion was defeated. This past weekend the Legion’s Ontario executive held further discussions about the idea. They too are firmly opposed to the plan. A friend of mine who serves on both the provincial and national executives told me Monday that all Legion branches in the province have been asked to notify their MPs about the organization’s stand. He says there is apparently still time for the matter to be debated

further before a final vote is held in the House of Commons. Legion members are opposed to the proposal because they see a major downside to making Remembrance Day a national holiday. It is the same objection I have written about previously in this newspaper. And it is why I too am totally opposed to the idea of a national holiday on Nov. 11. The concern is a basic one but it is also critically important. If Remembrance Day becomes a national holiday will Canadians treat it the way they do other holidays and stay home instead of participating in Nov. 11 ceremonies? That is the concern and I believe it could happen. When Remembrance Day falls close to, or on either side of a weekend, will people simply view it as a reason to enjoy a long weekend away? Will many Canadians who were previously moved to become involved in Remembrance Day observances choose to do other things with their family and friends and ignore the special meaning of Nov. 11? Those are worrisome questions for those of us who staunchly support this important day on the annual calendar. Like many others, I fear public support for Remembrance Day and the wearing of poppies, the blood red national symbol of remembrance, could be eroded if this idea is approved. I feel the holiday proposal is well-meaning, but poorly thought out. Consider this! In recent years schools have become more and more involved in activities leading up to and including Nov. 11. Veterans are invited to our schools to speak to children and educate them about the sacrifices made by so many Canadians in defence of our ideals and in support of peacekeeping and other military initiatives around the world. Children can relate to Remembrance Day even more now considering Canada’s involvement in the war in Afghanistan and the current mission to damage the growing capabilities of terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria. Young people can very easily view the world wars as ancient history. It’s impossible to ignore the current role of our military however. There is a young, captive audience who have become more and more interested in the meaning of Remembrance Day. When Nov. 11 falls on a weekend the number of school age children present is noticeably smaller. During the week (obviously most Remembrance Days are on week days) school classes are encouraged to go to the cenotaphs (War Memorials) in Canadian communities and take part in the observances. Either that or ceremonies are held in school gymnasiums on or before Nov. 11. Opponents of a national holiday are worried this upward trend in support will be diminished by this action. Worse still is the aforementioned possibility that Canadians in general will gradually treat Remembrance Day as just another holiday and do other See COLUMN page 20

things instead of participating in ceremonies. I for one think it is too big a chance to take. Toying with the increasingly positive public perception and involvement in Remembrance Day is a bad idea! A personal thank you My father Howard first arrived in Ottawa on Nov. 10, 1950 to prepare for a new job at the federal government Printing Bureau (the King’s Printers). The next
day he left his hotel and went to the nearby National War Memorial to attend the Remembrance Day service. Among the participants was then Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent and Viscount Alexander, the Governor General. Dad told me there were only a few members of the public on hand to view the solemn ceremony. It was just five and a half years after the end of World War II. Canadians were tired of war and they were not nearly as invested in Remembrance Day.
My father would have been so proud to hear that 50,000 people took part in this year’s ceremonies at the National War Memorial in his adopted hometown of Ottawa where he lived for 64 years. My beloved father died on Nov. 7, four days before this Remembrance Day. Dad was 84. He was a wonderful, supportive husband to my mother Molly and he was a shining example for me, his oldest child along with my brother Randy, my sisters Linda and Susan, his five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. We

will always miss him! So in closing this week I want to thank all of my family members, friends and colleagues who have offered their sympathy and support in the wake of my father’s passing. I can’t begin to tell you how much we all appreciate it! Thanks also to my friends at Metroland Newspapers for everything you have done for me and for us.

News – For generations, hunters and fishermen in this area have passed their skills and traditions onto their children. But a recent study of certain Ottawa Valley areas surrounding Ottawa shows that climate change threatens not only their way of life, but that of many others. Called Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for Aquatic Ecosystems in the Mississippi and Rideau Conservation Authority Watersheds, the study shows that native fish and animals face extreme challenges. Northern pike and other fish, along with the American coot (similar to a duck) and other animals, will see their birthing areas flash-flooded then dried out. And not just in the distant future, but now. “Climate change is impacting aquatic ecosystems,” reads the first line of the study, whose lead scientist is Cindy Chu of the University of Toronto. “Water temperatures are warming, species ranges are shifting and trophic dynamics are changing.” Temperatures have risen one degree since 1950, according to the provincial governmentbacked study. The expectation leading up to 2040 is that short periods of heavy rainfall will continue, even intensify. The water will wash away quickly, taking with it small streams where fish such as the Northern pike deposit their eggs. And even the cold lakes and rivers where pike and lake trout find refuge from the summer sun will continue to warm and evaporate. In 100 years the temperature is on pace to increase by 4.5 degrees. The land, having retained little water, will parch and cause a withering of native plant life, says the study. Wetlands, which act as sponges and habitat areas for the American cote and other wildlife, will continue to shrink. “These changes will significantly impact the quantity and quality of the wetlands, streams and lakes in this region,” reads the study. Retreating wetlands will likely threaten homeowners, too, according to Jackie Oblak. “The projections are that droughts will increase in frequency and length of time,” said Oblak, the study’s spokesperson. “Wetlands have a number of functions such as habitat for animals, yes. But they also mitigate the effects of extreme rainfall

2013 Chevrolet Malibu LS The local effects of climate change are shrinking the American coot’s natural habitat. Ducks, fish such as the northern pike and others face an increased risk of disappearing from the Ottawa Valley, which would dramatically change hunting and fishing traditions that have been passed on for generations. events. They absorb quick influxes and release gradually. “Basements are not flooded because of that wetland down the road. Roads like Dunrobin (that washed out twice in two years) don’t have to be repaired because a wetland was protected.” Upside of climate change There could be positives come out of global climate change, Oblak conceded. Warmer temperatures are good for grain farmers. Plants and animals from warmer regions could fill the void left locally. And as the tree line moves closer to the Arctic, more wetlands and habitat will open northward for animals facing threats here. Jokingly, Oblak said she isn’t a fan of winter, which is one good thing about global warming in Canada. But the joke doesn’t last long when it comes to species attempting to adapt to the rapid changes. Invasive species such as zebra mussels face no native predators, thus wreak havoc. The pine beetle jumped the Rockies and is moving across the boreal forest, killing massive tracts of greenery. It will likely reach the Ottawa area, thanks to climate change. More large insects, lizards and exotic plants could arrive without the wall of long, cold winters in place. Be prepared The key for humans, Oblak said, is the acceptance of climate change as a fact. It must move beyond the scientific community, she added, stressing that politicians and all sectors of society have to face the reality and begin preparations: only with solid data can humanity take advantages of emerging opportunities and hope to adapt successfully. “The decision-makers and policy-makers need the information from this study,” she said.
“We need to recognize that things are changing and that we need to monitor and begin to address them.” Not only that, but science has been shown to underestimate the effects of climate change. The current study, for example, doesn’t factor in prospective stresses caused by human endeavours, such as Energy East’s oil pipeline proposal to pass under the Mississippi and Rideau rivers. Were the pipeline to rupture, the effects would be devastating. Understandably, there are too many variables at play when it comes to human developments. Asked how a study that looks decades down the road can influence decision-makers and the public today – many of whom show little concern for future generations – Oblak pointed to the benefits of long-term planning in other areas. Governments have recently built infrastructure replacement costs into their budgets. When a bridge is built, funds are set aside each year to replace it. Will that type of thinking be applied to contributions nature makes to human societies? There’s a school of thought that all is lost; change had to have come 30 years ago or more; humanity has signed a collective suicide pact; no dominant species has escaped extinction; we may as well quit trying to fight climate change and go out with a bang. Oblak said there is no proof humanity is doomed. The dystopian visions put out by Hollywood are no more true than their opposite. The future is not predetermined. “Things are projected to be different. That is all. How we chose to adapt – if we do it successfully – will decide (our fate).” The prey may change, but the hunters and fishermen who are willing to adapt may survive to pass on their traditions.

Initially we could not pet them, catch them or even look at them. They would hide for days. Meanwhile they’ve come around so much that they even love to be held. They are absolutely adorable. You often see them play with rolling toys together. They’re very healthy as they both watch their waistline. Although we would love for them to be adopted together, we would allow them to go into separate homes as well. Both cats need a person or family with some patience to allow them to adjust to a new environment. We’re sure they make you smile. Please come and give them a chance, you’ll have no regrets!

News – Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN), Ontario’s largest rural broadband network project, is now complete thanks to funding from the governments of Canada and Ontario, the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus Inc., and private sector partners. Spanning 50,000 square kilometres, EORN serves a region of more than one million people and supplies over 90 per cent of homes and businesses with DSL or fixed wireless internet services of 10 Mbps or higher. In areas that cannot connect with wireless or wired service, a satellite solution provides connectivity at these same speeds. “The Eastern Ontario Regional Network created an exceptional partnership that brought together multiple governments and private sector partners. This hard work has delivered a broadband network that is opening up new markets and opportunities for our economy and improving quality of life for our residents,” noted Dave Burton, 2014 EORN chair. As a result of this project, people across the counties of Hastings, Peterborough, Renfrew, Northumberland, Haliburton, Frontenac, Lanark, Prince Edward, Lennox and Addington, the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, the United Counties of Prescott and Russell, the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, as well as the City of Kawartha Lakes now have access to the latest in web-based computer applications and information and entertainment resources. “Providing broadband access to residents, businesses and First Nations communities is one of the keys to unlocking the enormous economic potential of our region. To meet that goal, our communities came together to develop a shared vision and a plan. Working with the support of the federal, provincial and municipal governments, and in partnership with the private sector, we have made that vision a reality,” said 2014 Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus chair Linda Thompson. EORN is partnering with Bell, Cogeco Cable Canada, Xplornet Communications,
Nexicom, Storm Internet Services and Utilities Kingston on the initiative. “We are pleased to have been part of this important project and to be given the opportunity to use our extensive communications and technology expertise, in partnership with the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus and both levels of government, to expand broadband access in eastern Ontario,” noted Jason St-Pierre, regional manager, Bell. “High speed internet access is more than a luxury; it’s a necessary utility in today’s ever growing digital landscape. Storm Internet is proud to have been involved in the Eastern Ontario Regional Network project and to have brought out Wireless solutions to hundreds of houses, cottages, and businesses in Lanark County, North Dundas, and the nearby communities. We know the positive impact that reliable internet connections can have on the local economy and are honoured to be able to facilitate that change,” added Avedis Menechian, chief executive officer, Storm Internet Services. “It is difficult to overstate the importance of this project, and the effort that went into making it a reality. Ninetynine per cent of households across rural eastern Ontario can now access the transformative benefits of high-speed internet. The world has, in a very real sense, been opened up for them. And Eastern Ontario Regional Network has shown that public-private partnerships with visionary leaders, political will and a strong business model can make big things happen quickly, and on budget,” said Chris Harlond, Ontario director of sales, Xplornet Communications. Quick facts • The Government of Canada is contributing up to $55 million through the Building Canada Fund – Major Infrastructure Component. • The Government of Ontario contributed up to $55 million through the Broadband Infrastructure Fund. • The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus Inc. and private sector partners contributed the remaining funding of the total project cost of $170 million.

Community – Extra! Extra! Read all about it, or better yet, go and see the Dirt on Tait McKenzie. The Valley Players Production will hit the stage at the Almonte Old Town Hall for only two more performances: Friday, Nov. 21 and Saturday, Nov. 22 at 7:30 p.m. The show opened last weekend with a full house both nights and a standing ovation on Saturday night. Tickets for the local history lesson are $20 for adults and $10 for students and can be purchased at Baker Bob’s in Almonte, the Pakenham General Store, the Clayton General Store and Read’s Book Shop in Carleton Place. The new musical was written by Fern Martin and is directed by Thora Pugh; it takes the audience into the past via a time travelling U-Pod, for a reporter trying to dig up some dirt on local hero Robert Tait McKenzie. The actors take a trip down memory lane exploring McKenzie’s past as a young boy in Almonte, a student and gymnast at McGill University in Montreal, a doctor, teacher, sculptor and world traveler. This isn’t the first time Martin and Pugh have paired up. In 2011 they staged Naismith is Colourblind and He Can’t Drive, and as with that production, they do not disappoint the crowd with the latest one. If you are looking for a real life history lesson on one of Almonte’s most well known and admired residents, you don’t want to miss the Dirt on Tait McKenzie, so make sure you check it on Nov. 21 and 22 at the Almonte Old Town Hall.

Studio Theatre hits a grand slam at 2014 EODL Festival
Active transportation workshop Dec. 3 News – The Town of Mississippi Mills is hosting an interactive workshop on the topic of active transportation. Active transportation includes all the ways of getting around that are human powered, such as walking, cycling, rollerblading, or by wheelchair. Using active modes of transportation can improve community health and help the environment. The purpose of the active transportation workshop will be to confirm the common routes that are currently used for active transportation. We will also work together to identify missing links, priority projects, and
initiatives that would increase use of active transportation in Mississippi Mills. Participants in the workshop will be required to submit and review ideas, and contribute to discussions within facilitated groups. The event will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 3 from 6 to 8:30 p.m., at Almonte Old Town Hall. The Town of Mississippi Mills is specifically seeking the support and engagement of community leaders in culture and heritage, public health and social services, local commerce, the environment, accessibility, youth and other key areas to participate in discussions.
This event is open to everyone in the community, however, we would ask that participants pre-register to ensure adequate seating is available. If you wish to attend the workshop, please RSVP by noon on Tuesday, Nov. 25 to TDunlop@ mississippimills.ca. This event is a part of the project to develop an active transportation master plan and a comprehensive transportation master plan for the Town of Mississippi Mills. If you are unable to attend this event, please check back at www.mississippimills.ca for more opportunities to get involved in this project.

terborough, Belleville, Ottawa, Merrickville, Perth, Trenton, and Haliburton, and judged by Adjudicator Sandy McDonald, a director, actor and acting coach with five decades of theatre experience in England and Canada. The Studio Theatre’s entry was called A Bench At The Edge, a surrealistic comedy/ drama written by Luigi Jannuzzi, directed by first-time director (but longtime actor) Lucas Tennant, and starring Juli Heney and Joanna McAuley Treffers. When their time came to perform, Juli and Joanna were flawless, giving the performance of a lifetime. And when the awards were announced at the banquet on Nov. 10, the contingent of Perth supporters went wild! Why? A Bench At The Edge was declared: • Winner: Best Director, Lucas Tennant – a double honour,
since this was Tennant’s directing debut. • Winner: Best Actress, shared by Julie Heney and Joanna McAuley Treffers. • Winner: Best Production. • Winner: People’s Choice Award as Favourite Production at the festival, as selected by audience members who saw all nine plays. It was a thrilling festival, and proof that Perth’s Studio Theatre stands among the very best community theatres in Ontario, if not the entire country. We can all be proud of the local actors, directors, lighting and sound people, set and costume designers who help make the Studio Theatre part of our town’s rich cultural landscape. And just wait until next year! Submitted by the Studio Theatre.

Arts – It’s been just five scant years since Perth’s Studio Theatre became a member of the Eastern Ontario Drama League (EODL), but in each of those years the little theatre in the Tay Basin has done great things at the EODL’s annual One-Act Play Festival. And this year the Studio Theatre shone like never before. The Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Play festival is an annual competition at which community theatre groups from across eastern Ontario perform their best oneact play – plays no less than 35 minutes and no more than one-hour in length. Awards are given for acting, direction, costume design and more, as judged by a professional adjudicator. This year, productions were presented by theatre troupes from Kingston, Cornwall, Pe-

Full Circle Theatre opens holiday season with family fun, laughter next week Arts – Last year’s Christmas offering by BarnDoor Productions, Perth’s original community theatre, didn’t exactly set any box office records at Full Circle Theatre. Those lucky few who saw the show laughed, sang and had a great time, but they were pretty few in number. So, for this year, BarnDoor have decided to...bring back the very same show! Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!) is a lightning-fast, high-energy laugh riot by a trio of the region’s best community performers. The show is an out-and-out romp for stage veterans David Bird, Joe Laxton and David Jacklin as they have as much fun as the audience (and that’s a lot of fun!) presenting “every Christmas story ever told” in ninety minutes and an intermission. From reciting fractured versions of classic tales to providing lots of facts about weird Christmas customs around the world to ad libbing with the audience (and each other), the laughs start early and continue to the last moment of the show – and a little beyond, actually. David Bird, whose one-man performance of A Christmas Carol has been a perennial favourite in the region, plays a character eager to mount yet another ver-

Joe Laxton has other ideas: in his first production of A Christmas Carol, he played Tiny Tim, now he’s
playing “old dead guy”. David Christmas story ever told and Jacklin is more pragmatic: he just then Dickens, if there’s time. needs to pay the mortgage. The Director Janice Jacklin has compromise is simple: do every honed last year’s production to
something even more clever and fast-paced, with music, a video background that supports the show and offers lots of laughs on its own, lots of crazy props, costumes and special effects and as much fun and laughter as can be crammed into an hour and a half. There are some new bits to keep those who saw the show last year excited and some classic silliness for those who haven’t seen it. Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!), by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald and John K. Alvarez, is a constantly surprising and very inventive show. From a whirlwind version of The Grinch and a non-copyrightinfringing rendition of Rudolph, The Red-nosed Reindeer to Frosty, The Snowman, Bob Dylan’s A Child’s Christmas With Whales, The Gift of Maggie and even a game show about fruitcake, it’s great and very different family entertainment, with plenty of big laughs for everyone. In the intimate atmosphere of the Full Circle Theatre, the audience is invited to participate, with a few “volunteers” being brought up to the stage and lots of interaction between players and patrons encouraged. Some of the biggest
laughs of the show happen when the performers ad lib responses to audience comments and, if a “volunteer” turns out to have a performing streak of their own, the results can bring the house down. When the show seems to be over, the boys trot out one last treat: Every Christmas Carol Ever Sung caps off the fun beautifully with harmony and laughter. Every Christmas Carol Ever Told (And Then Some!), by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald and John K. Alvarez, is a fun Christmas treat for the whole family, a live-action stocking stuffer crammed with more fun than a barrel of lutefisk -- and to know what that means, you have to see the show! Every Christmas Carol Ever Told (And Then Some!) runs Nov. 28, 29, Dec. 4, 5, 6 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 30 and Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. There is plenty of free on-site parking available. Adult tickets are $20 reserved, $22 at the door. Students and children are just $10. To reserve, simply call 613 267 1884. No credit cards needed; cash on arrival at the show is requested.

Understand and avoid elder financial fraud have ulterior motives in mind and not be overly concerned about you or your loved one’s financial well-being. • Pay attention to your accounts. Unusually large withdrawals from automated teller machines or cashed checks with signatures that do not match the signature on the account are both indicative of fraud. If you are monitoring a loved one’s accounts, question any surges of activity in accounts that are normally somewhat inactive. • Ask a loved one to keep you abreast of changes in their will. Abrupt changes in a will or other financial documents should also cause concern. Family members caring for a senior should be aware of any major changes to important documents. • Monitor a loved one’s purchases. Sudden purchases, whether it’s an up-

Elder fraud is a financial crime that targets older men and women who are often unable to recognize they are being victimized. Elder financial fraud is a broad term that can be applied to a host of crimes, from stealing money or property directly from an individual to using an older person’s property or possessions without permission. Many seniors are targeted through telemarketing scams in which elders are scared into giving money out of fear of losing their homes. Some are exploited by people closer to home who forge signatures or get an older person to sign over deeds or power of attorney. Criminals often see elderly men and women as easy targets. Seniors may be suffering from declining physical and/or mental health, which compromises their ability to defend themselves or even recognize they are being taken advantage of. Seniors also may be embarrassed that they were duped and not share their experiences with others as a result.

Landowners join environmentalists to resist Energy East pipeline derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – Environmental groups and First Nations are finding alliances in unlikely places when it comes to a company’s plans to ship oil through several Ottawa Valley municipalities. That was the key message from Sabrina Bowman of the Toronto-based Environmental Defence, who recently spoke against TransCanada’s proposed Energy East project at the Galilee Centre in Arnprior. The proposal is to convert a 40-year-old natural gas pipeline to carry unrefined oil from the Alberta Tar Sands to destinations in Quebec and New Brunswick for sale on international markets. The converted oil pipeline would pass under the Bonnechere, Madawaska, Mississippi and Rideau rivers. Pipeline approvals such as TransCanada’s Keystone XL have trampled on private property rights in the US, Bowman said, meaning the company has gone to court and seized access to ranchers’ land using a legal tool called “eminent domain.” It has led to a cheeky tagline for the opposition: The cowboys and Indians alliance. “We are seeing massive public outcry (to Energy East) and they haven’t even filed their paperwork yet,” Bowman said. “People are seeing it as a democratic issue. They are not being allowed to get involved in something that could affect their community.” The Conservative government has vowed to turn Canada into an energy powerhouse, and gutted many environmental regulations and silenced opponents by fast-tracking approval processes, she said. Its support of oil companies is no secret, Bowman added, but grassroots resistance is growing. “BC is an incredible inspiration when it came to the Northern Gateway project. And it all had to do with you talking to your neighbours,” Bowman said. “They will listen to you.” As for formal ways to voice opposition to Energy East, there are few. Only the provincial government will have a direct say to the decision-making authority, the National Energy Board. Municipalities and individuals will not. Hence those at the Arnprior meeting were encouraged to sign a petition destined for Queen’s Park. Bowman suggested the Liberal government will oppose the project if it gets enough resistance. Energy East benefits
Although no TransCanada representatives spoke at the meeting, some of their literature was offered. It referred to the contribution Canada’s oil and gas sector makes to the economy: more than 500,000 jobs; over $20 billion in government tax revenues; 20 per cent of the value of the Toronto Stock Exchange. On safety it points to converting a section of the Canadian Mainline for the Keystone Pipeline, which “has safely delivered more than 550 million barrels of oil to the US,” since it began operating in July 2010. It has converted or constructed other pipelines in six provinces. It also has spent an average of $900 million per year over the last three years on pipeline integrity and preventative maintenance programs to protect pipeline systems and energy facilities. On minimizing environmental impact, TransCanada mentions working with pipes already in the ground, and that most new pump stations will be installed at existing compressor stations. Its pamphlets mention securing energy independence for Canada, meaning no more buying oil from Saudi Arabia and other countries holding nonwestern values. On the last point, speakers at the Arnprior meeting said Canada doesn’t have the capacity to refine Tar Sands oil, and that globalization rules force the sale of oil to the highest bidder. That means most or all will be sold to international markets. When it comes to the environment, Environmental Defence calculates converting from natural gas to “dirty oil” will equate to adding 7 million more cars on the roads. Duncan Noble of the Valley Climate Circle said Canada made an international promise to reduce greenhouse gases by 17 per cent from its 2005 levels by 2020. Until there’s a plan to fulfill that promise, he doesn’t want to see the oil sands expanded. “Until we have a strategy to meet our climate change goals, I don’t want to see your pipeline plans,” Noble said. “Is it responsible to write off our hopes and dreams for pipelines and profits? I don’t think so.” When it comes to safety, Kathy Lindsay of the Bonnechere River Watershed Project worries about a pipeline spill affecting communities such as Renfrew. TransCanada promised its original Keystone pipeline would spill only once in seven years. In the first year of the
to the oil sector and direct that money elsewhere, he said. Then there are the economic opportunities of the future and getting ahead of the competition. “Renewable fuels are going to have to replace fossil fuels if we are going to deal with climate change,” he said. The environmentalists were asked how to convince climate change deniers that the threats are real and changes are already underway. They responded that it challenges their fundamental beliefs about the benefits of free market economies, so there is no point trying to reason with them.
TransCanada’s pipeline projects have managed to unite groups that haven’t always seen eye to eye. Activists like Duncan Noble of the Valley Climate Circle, Ole Hendrickson of the Ottawa River Institute and Sabrina Bowman of Environmental Defence are finding support among landowners who oppose the corporation seizing access to their property. Derek Dunn/METROLAND
pipeline’s operation, it spilled 12 times, she said. In a recent explosion on the natural gas pipeline system destined to be converted, a massive fireball resulted. Mark MacKenzie, who is past president of the federal Green party, was the only politician to attend the event. He said the pipeline that will pass across the Madawaska within 100 yards of his home – west of the Stewartville dam – isn’t guaranteed to spill, but it’s not worth taking a chance. “Spills are very devastating. They are remote but catastrophic because you can’t clean them up,” MacKenzie said. “We need to get together to oppose sending this oil right through our backyards to other countries. It’s good for the one per cent. They’ll make money off the oil. But it’s way too risky for the rest of us.” Opponents say 80 per cent of pipeline spills over the last three years were spotted by people before TransCanada’s monitors. When it comes to the economy, Ole Hendrickson of the Ottawa River Institute said for every $1 million spent, green energy projects create 15 jobs, oil and gas just two. More importantly, governments should stop the massive subsidies given

Canada’s ‘moral high ground’ will win war against ISIS: Manson Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Canada’s former chief of defence staff claims that the west’s “moral superiority” over Islamist groups like ISIS will prove the crucial difference in the ongoing war on terror. “They have no ethical constraints,” said General Paul Manson (retired), former Chief of Defence Staff, when he spoke to the Probus Club of Perth at the Royal Canadian Legion on Wednesday, Nov. 5. “They exploit our own moral superiority,” to their advantage, he said. He cautioned that, while parliament has given approval for a six-month mission against ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) in Iraq, with about 69 training troops and six CF-18 Hornet jets, there is “no prospect that it will end in the near future.” He said he supported the mission because “we cannot sit in splendid isolation in this continent. It is coming to us.” He understood the sentiment that the warring factions in Syria should be allowed to fight it out amongst themselves, that “there is some logic in that,” but that allowing that to happen would exacerbate the already tragic refugee situation. “It is our problem as well,” he said. “We cannot isolate what is happening.” He contended however that, while the war will not be easily won, or won quickly, it will still be won. “I am confident that we will prevail,” he said. “We hold the moral high ground… The gift of freedom is a great advantage denied to our enemies.” Even at that, while promises were made that there would be no boots on
the ground, there are noises emanating from the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. that America is considering sending in ground troops to Iraq to fight ISIS – and Canada may have no choice but to join the fight. “ISIS, in spite of air attacks, cannot be defeated or negated without facing boots on the ground,” he said. “It’ll be a long time before the Iraqi army can step up and face ISIS.” Manson also defended the Harper government’s controversial decision to purchase F-35 fighter jets. “I am absolutely convinced that we must replace the CF-18s and we must replace them with the F-35,” he said emphatically. “There is no other solution. I know it is controversial. No other option comes close.” Lengthy career Born in Trail, B.C., Manson served as the leader of Canada’s armed forces from 1986 to 1989. He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and, in time, became a fighter pilot, flying F-104 Starfighters. After 38 years in the military, he became the volunteer chair of the Canadian War Museum’s “Passing the Torch” fundraising campaign, which raised more than $16.5 million to help support the new museum, which opened in 2005. He signed up for service in 1952, and he retired in 1990. During that Cold War period, “no Canadian ever fired a shot in anger. I am very proud of that fact,” he said. “I am a cold warrior.” In the intervening 24 years though, as a writer and commentator, he has taken note of the “changing face of war. It is changing in dramatic ways.”
WINTER IS HERE!
In fact, things are changing so fast that, no matter what he has written the day before, “I listen to the eight o’clock news,” in the morning, then, “I go back and change my notes,” he said with a laugh. Looking at the even bigger picture, the change of pace appears even
more staggering. About 70,000 warriors introduced the bow and arrow to the battlefield, which changed the face of warfare. In the 11th century, the Chinese introduced gunpowder to the scene. Artillery arrived in the 15th century and then came the momentous decision to move from sail-powered

Where from here? With technological change going from happening every millennia or so, to every century, to every decade, to now nearly weekly, “it raised an obvious question: where does it go from here?” Back in the early 1990s, after the Berlin Wall had fallen, there was talk of “a new world order. Things were going to get better.” But what came afterwards “was not what people were anticipating.”

ships to steam powered. Radio communications became a part of warfare during the war between Russia and Japan in 1905. Less than a decade later, the First World War began and, with it, tanks, airplanes and submarines became widely used in arsenals. “Warfare changed forever in World War One,” said Manson. About 21 years later, the pace of technological change accelerated again, with massive bombing campaigns during the Battle of Britain, the introduction of aircraft carriers, and then the dropping of the first two – and, so far, only – atomic weapons during the Second World War. Even in his own career, he has seen the planes he flew on as a young man become quickly antiquated. Canada’s CF 100s did not have a digital computer on board – only an analog computer. By the 1960s, the U.S. Air Force’s F4 had a computer with about 25 KB of RAM – roughly, “the power of a garage door opener.” Now the “fog of war” has dissipated somewhat, with accuracy on the ongoing strikes in Iraq, for example, coming within a foot or closer of their targets.

Ed McPherson inquired if this savings could also be used to reduce the tax burden. “If we don’t do this, the levers council has to pull gets lessened,” said Britchford. “If we don’t do this, we would be looking at service cuts or tax increases.” Rather than cutting taxes and return-

ing the money to taxpayers, “we are protecting our assets,” said Mayor John Fenik. He did, however, wonder aloud if police work could be handled differently in the name of efficiency, without sacrificing policing quality. “You don’t need a sworn officer with a sidearm taking notes on a fender bender,” said Fenik. “The policing world really needs to get its head around this.” Part of the new funding formula is based on calls for service, and Coun. Jim Graff cautioned, “We have to remain vigilant in our calls for service.”

While she awaited the birth of her child, she received a delivery of another new bundle – as the town’s new 200th Anniversary project planning consultant, through the Cat’s Cove Communications company she runs with her husband Toby. She won the two-year contract over two other companies who were bidding on the project. Her winning $74,480 bid,
which was approved at a special town council meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 4. Her bid was for the exact same amount as Tay River Events, which promised its services between $74,480 to a maximum of $75,000. Beattie Geospatial Intelligence Consulting Ltd. placed in a bid “to a maximum of $75,000.” A three-person review panel scored the three bids using various criteria, such as qualifications, experience, proposed approach, and professional fees. The panel was “in agreement that Cat’s Cove Communications was the highest rated submitted (bid)… (It) has the required skills and abilities to successfully complete the requirements of the letter of agreement.” The position was created thanks to a 100 per cent grant from the Ontario Trillium Fund. The position came into being following a council decision on July 17.

In fact, one thing that has changed is that, oftentimes, it is not nations who go to war any more. “War today does not see the battle lines that used to be,” said Manson. “Nation states have almost dropped out of the picture all together…the conventional definition of victory has gone by the wayside. There are no more battlefronts any more.” He pointed to the situation in Syria and Iraq, where there is a “mixture of different ideologies and beliefs.” While ISIS, for example, is well funded, when going up against allied powers like Canada, the United States, Britain and others, “there is an inequality between combatants. There is a new enemy out there.” One of the hardest aspects of these militants in the fight is that “they are very hard to identify. They do not wear uniforms. They can win local support through intimidation.” He used the example of the Taliban in Afghanistan. While allied troops arrived in 2001, and toppled the Taliban government there, the extremist Islamist group played the long game. “Time is on the side of those people,” said Manson. “The Tali-
ban said (to Afghans), ‘10 years from now, you guys (the allies) will be going and we will still be here.’ Academics call this the long war.” War fatigue What also plays into this strategy for the Taliban and other groups like them is “war fatigue,” especially for the Afghan war, which lasted longer than either world war. “People are tired of trying, without success, to combat the new form of war,” said Manson. This has also led to what he called “casualty sensitivity.” With each passing conflict, the number of Canadian casualties – while a wrenching tragedy for their loved ones left behind – decreases. For example, according to Veterans Affairs Canada, the number of Canadian casualties in each conflict over the last 100 years includes: • First World War: About 68,000 • Second World War: About 47,000 • Korean War: 516 • Afghanistan: 158 Then, last month, with two Canadian soldiers killed in separate terrorist attacks in Ottawa and outside of Montreal, “the whole country went into mourning, and rightly so.” Another trait that sets this war
aside from others that Canada has fought before, is the use of suicide bombers – as seen in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. “Warfare has become absolutely bewildering in the eyes of those who study it,” he conceded. “There are only a number of counter-insurgency strategies.” But even here, technology continues apace – with the use of cyber warfare, and drones, with the first drone strikes being conducted in 2002. Some of the drone strikes in Afghanistan and Pakistan now are coordinated in one of the drone control centres not too far away, in Syracuse, New York. He conceded that the use of drones, which have been known to unintentionally kill civilians, “raise some ethical questions.” However, in response, groups like ISIS “are using social media more and more. They use those videos for propaganda.” For this old soldier, “my greatest fear…is in the use of chemical, nuclear, biological weapons,” falling into the wrong hands, specifically, Islamist terrorists, whose ideology he was quick to dismiss as bearing “little resemblance to the peaceful Islam we had come to know…the role of mainstream Islam will be immensely important (in the future). We don’t see much of it. That is changing.”

News – The solar panel company iSolara has failed in its bid to secure a sole-source contract from the town of Perth to set up panels on many municipally-owned buildings. Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll explained to Perth town council’s committee-ofthe-whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 4 that it was his opinion that “we would like to be a net licensee to others, so they would take the risk,” but the town would benefit too, as opposed to owning the equipment outright. He pointed out that Lanark County is considering forming a type of collective amongst municipalities for solar power.
“I think that the consensus is that we would go with a request for proposals (RFP),” said Mayor John Fenik. The vote overturned earlier tentative approval for the iSolara project, which passed the committee-of-the-whole stage on Sept. 9. But passage by the full town council was delayed on Sept. 23 until they heard from a representative of EcoPerth. That presentation was made last month, and council took this new direction this week, to, according to Fenik, direct staff to put out an RFP for interested, qualified consultants to advise council on which steps would be best to take hereafter on the solar leasing project. “There are many different roads to go down with solar,” said Coun. Beth Peterkin. “It behooves

Interwebs + Crockpot = Magic
O
pinion - A friend of mine was telling me a dramatic story recently about a small kitchen alteration that has turned into a full-blown reno. Who knew getting a gas stove in an old house could be so complicated? Oven-less and operating with a microwave and a one-burner cook stove, they have become quite adept at onepot meals. Stews and chili are among the fare. It’s like camping! For months! Yay! “Do you have a Crockpot?” I asked. They do not. “Ye gods! How can you LIVE without a Crockpot?” I blurted. Okay, well, I said something like that. Actually, I texted it, so I probably spelled something wrong or used inappropriate homonyms. I’m cute that way. I briefly extolled the virtues of slow cookers. “Yeah, but does it bake bread?” he asked. (He likes to bake bread.) According to Google, it does! I love my Crockpot. I should use it even more than I do. You know how when you cook a big dinner and guests walk in and talk about how great the place smells? Well, imagine having that experience except it’s you coming home to an empty house and the aroma that greets you makes you think you have a butler! It’s heavenly. There is some prep involved. Usually I get things ready the night before. Most of the meals I choose involve chopping raw ingredients (meats and vegetables) and layering them in the pot as directed. The pot goes into the fridge until morning, and the hardest part is remembering to take it out and plug it in. (That’s why I have Mr. George BlackBerry, executive assistant, to remind me.) The meal cooks slowly all day and makes the house smell wonderful. Pot roasts, pulled pork, stews, soups, casseroles – I’ve even cooked a small whole chicken in there! Occasionally a side of some sort will be required, so if you have a one-burner stove you can cook the noodles to go with the scrumptious chicken cacciatore you have prepared in the Crockpot, for example. Speaking of chicken cacciatore, I have managed to adapt a family recipe for this dish into something that does not involve Scary Equipment. My Nan used to make an awesome chicken cacciatore, but she did it using a pressure cooker. She would come over to our

house to make it. I still remember the sound of the pressure cooker hissing away, not to mention the discussions she and my mother would have about it. Mom liked that pressure cooker about as much as she likes spiders, which is to say not at all, really. It was with great trepidation that Mom would adjust the settings based on Nan’s explicit direction. I think Nan got a bit of a kick out of the drama caused by the pressure cooker. I am pleased to report we always enjoyed an excellent meal with no explosions or deaths.

Le t ters to the Editor
You can learn a lot by reading The Couriers
DEAR EDITOR:
You can learn a lot by reading The Couriers. And that final ‘s’ is not a misprint. The Perth Courier is the newspaper of record in Ottawa Valley, but there are other Couriers and other Courier countries, eight sound-alikes in Italy and three in Spain, for example. The Courier in South Africa is a popular free paper - well, it would be popular - and offers lots of photos, mainly of women who want to chat. Despite this, it is ‘very readable’, which is a definite plus in a newspaper, I always think. Couriers abound in America and there is a Hungarian ‘Kurier’ in Budapest, a Canadian Courier
city, it is ‘trying to expand into other cantons.’ Who said nothing ever happens in Switzerland? The South Swedish Courier was subject to a transport ban during the Second World War, meaning it could not use postal services, railways or ‘other forms of transport.’ Unsurprisingly, it did not have a wide circulation. The paper trail leads to all sorts of unlikely places. Browsing the Advertiser Courier of Hermann, Missouri, I discovered that the local girls’ basketball team, the Lady Bearcats, was ‘fixtured’ to play the Lady Panthers in a ‘grudge match.’ Who would win that one was anybody’s guess. I also learned that the Courrier
de France championed ‘Human Rights in the Western Sahara.’ Sections of the paper included Disappearances, Property Damage, and Imprisonment. (‘Two students were detained in the Dunes Cafe.’) I have moved the Western Sahara down a few places on my list of holiday destinations. One puzzling piece of information concerned the Syracuse Courier in New York. Apparently it was a ‘breezy, newsy, fearless newspaper, sure to prosper.’ And yet it folded - no pun intended - due to high levels of debt. Just like my uncle Frank’s restaurant, advertised as ‘Where you can eat dirt cheap.’
The Courier-Journal in Kentucky is hardly the place where you expect to read that the editor courted controversy by trying to prove that Christopher Marlowe wrote Hamlet. I’m still in two minds about that myself. I’m running out of space and I haven’t mentioned the Couriers in Lithuania, Warsaw, or Bad Axe, Michigan. The Courier in Dundee, Oregon, reports that “the town will get its second traffic light” and the daily tabloid Courier-Mail in Brisbane is “available for purchase in parts of the Northern Territory.” So many other Couriers besides our own. They do say that imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery.

everyone, but they are even more dangerous for children. According to the U.S. government’s EPA website, children breathe 50 per cent more air per pound of body weight than adults. We love our children and grandchildren, and don’t want to expose them to air pollutants. It wouldn’t take much to make the Santa Claus parade a safer environment for our young
ones, and ourselves. Perth town council, please ban parking along Gore Street from Foster to Craig for the duration of the parade. Grandparents, aunts and uncles, please don’t idle your cars. Dress warmly, bring a thermos of coffee, and know you are not polluting the air for children who are braving the cold to see the
parade. Businesses please use trucks with effective emission controls to tow your floats. Diesel exhaust has been confirmed to be carcinogenic by the World Health Organization. Let’s go green and show our children that we care about their health. Louise McDiarmid Perth

The Santa Claus parade (Dec. 6) is a festive highlight for the townspeople of Perth in the cold dark weeks leading up to Christmas. It’s a great community event, a celebration of warmth, generosity and fun. It’s free and accessible to all, and it attracts both young and old, either taking part in the parade or standing on

DEAR EDITOR:
(strangely described as ‘a Russian Weekly’) and ‘Kuriers’ in Berlin and Vienna. Not to mention the Tyrone Courier in, er, County Tyrone in Ireland. There is even an International Courier, a Paris-based French weekly with Portuguese and Japanese editions. It received countless negative reactions when the new image to illustrate its slogan “Learn to Anticipate” consisted of two planes circling the World Trade Centre Towers without colliding. As we say in journalism, ouch! The Courier, or ‘Le Courrier’ is a Swiss French-language newspaper published in Geneva. Although mainly focused on that

speed, while the town protocol might be influenced by those who the 85 percentile rule identifies as “comfortable with their speed”. I am uncomfortable with both the 85 percentile rule that ignores the speeders, pedestrians, and cyclists, and the method used by a single individual (a member of town staff) which employs scoring, where both activities have been shown to be inappropriate and/or logically invalid in inter-personal comparisons.

for a person (town staff) to “score” or assign points to each characteristic. The total score, if it exceeds a specific value, is indicative of a needed “calming” action, either active or passive. An individual can only prefer A to B (or be indifferent between A and B); one cannot measure how much one prefers A to B or vice-versa (called scoring); they also maintain that inter-personal preference comparisons are logically invalid – my view might be different than yours e.g. the fellow or residents observing the traffic flow on Isabella Street might be influenced by the 15 per cent who

bella Street, the latter raised many issues two of which were: 1] the so called 85 percentile rule – This rule is based on a study done in 1964. The 1964 study ignored vulnerable groups including pedestrians and cyclists and is now used to set speed limits in densely-populated urban areas, far from any main rural highway (e.g. Highway 401 or Highway 7). This rule is applied after a traffic (speed) survey is undertaken. For example, data from a Mather Street survey ranked the number of in and out. It’s easier to do cars/trucks by their speed. As it that with ample parking on turned out 85 per cent of the traffic a busy road than in cramped downtown quarters with scant pay parking nearby. But their actions do speak to a sad, sinking feeling one gets: people may say that they want walkable communities. They are healthier for us, but, the ease and convenience of a car, more often than not, wins out. Business is just responding to what we are doing – not what we may be saying.

News – Perth Mayor John Fenik has promised to speak out on behalf of independent day care centres. Fenik promised to fire off a letter to Premier Kathleen Wynne following a presentation by a local day care provider who charged that the provincial Liberals’ new Bill 10, the Childcare Modernization Act, would not, as claimed, protect children, and would instead increase fees, would not increase oversight, and would eliminate child care spaces. “I think we must be clear that ‘unlicensed’ does not mean ‘illegal,’” said Sarah-Jane Laberge, representing the Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario (CICPO), addressed Perth town council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 4. She said that she had a collection of more than 215 signatures on a petition to Queen’s Park about the bill, accumulated over the previous two weeks. Laberge stressed that while her organization supports some aspects of Bill 10, they find two parts of the bill contentious. “The first is that the new ratios for ICP’s (Independent Childcare Providers) to include their own children in their quote of children under the age of six, and to allow no more than two children under the age of two, will cause a childcare crisis of enormous proportion,” she said. Currently, citing a survey conducted by the Child Care Resource Network, only 22 per cent of Ontario’s children are cared for at a licensed facility, with ICPs providing the remaining 78 per cent: about 350,000 children. Laberge’s organization estimates that as many as 140,000 current spaces will be lost and parents could face an increase of as much as 40 per cent if the bill passes in its current form. Another aspect of the bill she is challenging is that “while Bill 10 will dramatically reduce the ratios for ICPs… (it) will significantly increase ratios in licensed day care centres.” She showed an example whereby newborns up to age 18 months will see ratios go from one provider for three children to one provider for five children. For children 18 months to two-and-a-half-year-olds, that ratio would go from one provider for five children to one provider for eight children. She supported a call by Simcoe North MPP Garfield Dunlop, the Progressive Conservative education critic at Queen’s Park, for the bill to “travel” during the winter, to seek comment from interested parties across the province. With fewer spaces and higher costs, “parents will be desperate to find childcare,” said Laberge, which “will only contribute to an underground market. Care will be in such high demand that parents will be more likely to accept substandard care.” Oversight Another point of contention for Laberge was oversight. She claimed that it

Sarah-Jane Laberge, representing the Coalition of Independent Childcare Providers of Ontario (CICPO), addressed Perth town council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 4. “does not increase safety. Frankly, you can have as many rules as you like but if you don’t have people that inspect and determine whether people are respecting those laws and take action to enforce, then the bill will have no force or effect.” Bill 10 seeks to address individual licensing of home day care providers. “We want to be licensed,” she said. “We em-

brace oversight. No individual home daycare provider can obtain a license in Ontario.” Independent providers are often working under an agency’s license, not their own. She called on the government to set up a registry or licensing of all day cares, public and private, “would ensure that all childcare settings meeting universal standards of health, safety, and quality of care,” with matters like criminal record checks, CPR training and first aid being up to date, for example, with “yearly and impromptu inspections.” “Licensing would allow for 100 per cent government oversight rather than relying on the public to report non-compliance,” said Laberge. She said that licensing would also alleviate the waiting lists for children currently seeking subsidized public spots. As of December 2013, nearly 17,000 children were on the subsidy wait list in Toronto, for example, according to her speaking notes. “Clearly, the licensed sector does not have the capacity to meet the needs of Ontario families,” she said. She also stressed that, of the six deaths that took place at daycares over the last five years, five of the deaths occurred at “illegal” daycares, and the final death took place at an ICP that met the standards of the Daycare and Nurseries Act. It was also classified as “accidental,” according to Laberge. “The promise that Bill 10 will ensure illegal daycares will be shut down is an empty one,” she said. “You can’t shut down what you can’t find… As long as this government refuses to facilitate a registry or licensing system for ICPs, there will never be effective oversight.”

The Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign for the Perth area was officially kicked off at Barnabe’s Independent Grocer on Friday, Nov. 14. Barnabe’s is one of four sites where standing kettles staffed by volunteers will be located until Dec. 24. Taking part in the kickoff were left to right: Debbie Armstrong, customer service manager at Barnabe’s; Jim Hill of the Perth Lions Club, a longtime volunteer at the kettle; Dianne Pinder-Moss, kettle coordinator; and John Gemmell, Deputy Mayor for the Town of Perth.
Volunteers still sought to staff kettles “Perth Council and the residents of Perth appreciate the great work the Salvation Army has done, is doing and will do in the future,” said John Gemmell, Deputy Mayor for the Town of Perth, who was in attendance at the kickoff. “I and the other
councillors will definitely be assisting in manning the kettles again this year. Perth is a caring community and I know the Kettle program will do well.” The goal for this year’s kettle campaign regionally is $180,000.

News - Each year, the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign helps to make Christmas merrier for families in need. In 2013, through the funds raised in the region, close to 800 families received Christmas hampers of food, toys and small clothing items. As well, the donations received went towards supporting the Salvation Army’s work throughout the year. That included its lunch program, utilities aid, emergency food basket and Kids for Camp program. The funds made it possible for 35 children to attend camp. “The Christmas Kettles are the main fundraiser for the year,” notes Major Faith Cameron, Community Services Officer for The Salvation Army, Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corps. “They supply the Christmas hampers and help us provide support for all the social services that the Salvation Army does.” One of Canada’s largest and most recognizable annual charitable events, the kettle campaign has been taking place for more than 120 years. The 2014 kettle campaign in the Perth area was kicked off last Friday at Barnabe’s Independent Grocer. Barnabe’s is one of four sites – the others are Brownlee’s Metro, Giant Tiger, Code’s Mill building and Shoppers Drug Mart – where standing kettles staffed by volunteers will be located until Dec. 24. Anyone interested in being a volunteer, or “bell ringer” as the kettle workers have traditionally been called, at one of the kettle locations is invited to contact Dianne Pinder-Moss, Kettle Coordinator for the Perth area, at 613-2676260. She can also be reached by email at sa_perth_fs@cogeco.net. Each volunteer shift is only two hours in length. In addition to the kettles that are being staffed, smaller counter kettles have been set up at other businesses in town where people can also make a donation.

Normandy chicken gets unique taste from brandy
Ingredients • 2 tsp (10 mL) vegetable oil • 8 oz (250 g) Ontario Cremini mushrooms, sliced • 1 small Ontario onion, sliced • 1 clove Ontario garlic, minced • 4 boneless chicken breasts • 3/4 cup (175 mL) chicken stock • 3/4 cup (175 mL) apple cider or apple juice • 1/4 cup (50 mL) Calvados or brandy (optional) • 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp/5 mL dried thyme) • 1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh or dried rosemary • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
• 1/4 cup (50 mL) water • 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch
This chicken, infused with garlic and a variety of fresh herbs, is made special with the addition of Calvados (brandy made from apples in Normandy, France).
Preparation instructions In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp (5 mL) of the oil over medium heat. Add mushrooms, onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes or until softened. Remove and set aside. Heat remaining oil in skillet. Add chicken breasts; cook until golden brown, about five minutes. Add vegetables, chicken stock, apple cider, Calvados, thyme, rosemary and salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, turning chicken several times for 12 to 14 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside. Transfer chicken to platter; tent with foil. Increase heat to high, boil liquid until reduced by half, three to five minutes. Whisk water with cornstarch; whisk into liquid and cook over low heat until sauce is thickened.

This weeks 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!

Scorpio, make some changes to your fitness routine this week so you don’t find yourself in a fitness funk. Switch the yoga mat for some cardio and vice versa.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Being hot then cold is sometimes the Gemini way. Shifting feelings and being mercurial is just how you’re made, and those who call you friend will have to adapt.
Sagittarius, if you are feeling a bit bored by your relationship, take the initiative to stir things up a bit. Go to a concert or plan a short jaunt to a tropical locale.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Cancer, you are full of ideas this week and you can put them to good use by being as vocal as you can at work. Suggest a brainstorming session with other employees.
Someone you know may have gotten in over his or her head and can probably use your help right now, Capricorn. Help this person come up with some solutions to the problem.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Leo, be genuine and speak from the heart this week. Your compassion for other people’s feelings will help a dear friend who will be grateful and appreciative of your kindness.
Aquarius, shake up your routine and you may be surprised by how much you enjoy the changes. In fact, you just may look at everything from an entirely new perspective.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Do not judge a book by its cover, Virgo. That person you have been checking out is entirely different from what you first imagined. It’s time to delve deeper.
Pisces, though you cannot afford that especially pricey treat you’ve had your eyes on, you can afford something a little more modest.

Cavanagh Candice Jean Cavanagh
It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Candice “Candy” Cavanagh, in hospital on November 12th, 2014 at the age of 64. Candy endured a 20 year battle with cancer, through which she remained at home until her final two days. She fought the battle well, through the support of many at the Ottawa Cancer Clinic, home care, Red Cross, and most importantly her beloved husband and primary caregiver Jim, to whom she was married for 48 years. Candy was born on January 6th, 1950 in Ottawa, Ontario to the late Michael Cagan and Elizabeth Card. She is survived by her husband James Cavanagh, and cherished sons Edward (Sharon) Cavanagh and Trevor (Myrla) Cavanagh. She is also survived by five grandchildren whom she loved dearly; Karen, Kassidy, Ashton, Julia and Ella Cavanagh. Born in Ottawa and raised in Almonte, she moved to Smiths Falls and later to Toledo, where she lived the majority of her life. Candy is also survived by her mother-in-law Eva Cavanagh, sister-in-law Myrna Cavanagh and her two daughters Jackie Ward and Jeannie Casey, sister-in-law Peggy (John) McDonnell and their sons Shamus and Liam, sister-in-law Debbie Cavanagh and her son Rodney. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins on her side. She was predeceased by her loving grandparents Maurice Card and Alice Lamb, as well as her father-in-law Keith Cavanagh and brother-in-law Jack (Debbie) Cavanagh. Candy had many friends from all walks of life. They all had a positive impact upon her life, and she on theirs in return. Candy’s presence will be missed sadly by many. We would like to thank the Ottawa Cancer Clinic for their support during Candy’s battle. Also deserving gratitude are the Red Cross, Community Access Centre, Bay Shore, the numerous nurses who tended to her care, as well as many friends and neighbours who visited Candy. The extensive support Candy received allowed her to enjoy a longer life and her family to enjoy her in return. We would also like to thank the Smiths Falls Hospital for their compassion and Dr. Muldowney for guiding the family at the end of Candy’s battle. The greatest support Candy received during the battle, as well as during her life, came from her loving husband, Jim. Jim demonstrated support through sickness and health to the ultimate degree. Jim was her primary care giver during her final years, and he remained by her side until her final passing. Friends were received at the Blair & Son Funeral Home 112 Beckwith St. N., Smiths Falls on Monday, November 17, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm followed by a service in the Chapel at 4:00 pm.

IN MEMORIAM
KNIGHT, Gary Douglas Sept. 2, 1945 to Nov. 23, 2013 Until his passing a loyal employee of Metroland Media. One year ago we sadly had to share the news of your passing with your family and friends. When we did this we all had the same reaction, first shock and then the memories. There was one memory weall had in common and that is we all said that you always had a good story to tell. Well now your wife Margo, your daughter Patti and son-in-law Richard and grandkids Alexa and Eric, and your little buddy Steve will keep your spirit alive by sharing our stories of you. You will be forever missed but never forgotten. Love your family and friends

EASTMAN, Arthur 1929 - 2011 In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather who passed away November 17th, 2011. A special smile, a special face And in our hearts a special place, No words we speak can ever say How much we miss you every day.

JACQUES, Raymond Jr. – In loving memory of my dear son who passed away November 26, 1988. Gone, dear son, gone forever, How I miss your smiling face; But you left me to remember, None on earth can take your place. A happy home we once enjoyed, How sweet the memory still, But death has left a loneliness The world can never fill. Love Dad
WILKINSON (HEALEY) – In memory of a loving daughter, mother, Grammie and sister, Hope Wilkinson (Healey) March 13, 1969 November 20, 2013 The Broken Chain We did not know that day, that God would call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again Luv forever and a day, Mom Fitz, Dad, Lynsay, Doug, Tucker and Sonya
HESKETH, Sylvia – In Loving Memory of Sylvia Hesketh May 8, 1926 – Nov 17, 2013. Life is eternal and love is immortal, death is only a horizon, a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

FERGUSON, Robert – In loving memory of dear father, poppa and great poppa who passed away on November 23, 2012. God took him home, it was His will, But in our hearts we love him still; His memory is as dear today, As in the hour he passed away. We often sit and think of him, When we are all alone, For memory is the only friend, That grief can call its own. Loved and remembered always, Cynda, Sandy, Michele, Sean, Karen and Wyatt
BISONETTE, Alma- In loving memory of our mother who passed away November 16, 2011. If we had all the world to give, We give it yes and more, To hear her voice and see her smile, And greet her at our door, But all we can do, dear Mother, Is go and tend your grave, And leave behind tokens of love, To the best Mother, God ever made. We like to think, When life is done, Wherever Heaven may be. That she’ll be standing at the door, Up there, to welcome us home. Love you Mom The Family

CL452375_1106
News – The more than 33,000 road collisions on Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) patrolled roads last winter has the OPP asking road users to be part of the solution to reduce the number of preventable collisions over the 2014-2015 winter. Poor driving behaviour – not poor weather or road conditions – was a primary contributing factor in many of last winter’s single and multi-vehicle crashes, taking an unrelenting toll on road users, the movement of traffic and the provincial social costs associated with motor vehicle collisions. Between Dec. 1, 2013 and March 31, 2014 a total of 33,334 collisions occurred on OPP-patrolled roads compared to 25,953 collisions over the same four-month period in 2012-2013. The crashes resulted in deaths and numerous serious injuries. Among the injured were OPP officers who responded to these crash scenes and whose cruisers were struck by drivers who failed to adjust their speed to the conditions. The OPP will be working closely with the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to ensure that roads are kept as safe as possible over the winter months – but the OPP admits that they cannot do this alone. “No other road safety partner can have as strong an influence on reducing the number of collisions during winter as drivers can through positive driving behaviour. During the winter months, the way people drive needs to be very different than the way they drive the rest of year. If every driver makes this critical change this winter, we will not have another chaotic winter that ends with a staggering number of collisions and the associated injuries and deaths,” said OPP Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander of Traffic Safety and Operational Support. “The safety of our roads is always a top priority and we continue to work closely with our road safety partners to promote safe and responsible winter practices. Ontario winters can be challenging for drivers. Be sure to check
road conditions on MTO’s Ontario 511 Traveller Information Services. Please stay alert, slow down and drive according to road and weather conditions,” added Steven Del Duca, Minister of Transportation. Over the winter months, the OPP will be providing a steady flow of safety-related tips, information and reminders on its social media sites in an effort to keep motorists on track with safe driving behaviour and to keep them informed about winter driving issues on our roads. One strong and recurring message people can expect to hear over winter is the need for every driver to adjust their speed and slow right down when visibility and road conditions deteriorate and to avoid non-essential travel during these periods. Another important message will be the need for all drivers to use their full set of headlights every day throughout the winter months. Far too many vehicles could not be seen by the drivers behind them last winter because their rear lights were not on. Using the full set of headlights is the only way to completely engage your rear lights and this is critical in helping to reduce the risk of collisions when driving in poor visibility. The OPP will also be encouraging drivers to use MTO’s Ontario 511 Traveller Information Services which provides easy access to up-to-date winter information on road conditions and road closures on provincially maintained roads. Ontario 511 also provides voice-activated, hands-free service. Drivers are expected to observe Ontario cell phone laws when using Ontario 511 while on the road and are encouraged to pull over to a safe location to use it as the safest option. The OPP is asking road users to tell them what driving behaviours they believe Ontario drivers need to change in order to help prevent another chaotic winter on our roads.

Rev. Shelley Roberts Religion Today
Community - The 1994 General Council of The United Church of Canada made the decision for our denomination that Children’s Sunday should be celebrated annually across the church on a Sunday close to Nov. 20 which is the date of National Child Day here in Canada and the anniversary of the United Nations ratification on the Rights of the Child (1989). National Child Day provides Canadians an opportunity to pause and reflect on the needs, concerns, interests and skills of children in our own communities. It is a time to consider the quality of life for all children in Canada and the
quality of life for all the world’s children. I am thinking that after a week focused on remembering the sacrifices and heroism associated with the World Wars and being grateful for our military who continue to put their lives at risk for the sake of peace and justice, that perhaps it is a good thing to turn our attention to our children. Jesus welcomed children in a time when they were considered by most authorities to be possessions. He blessed them. He held them up as an example for his followers. It seems too bad that Children’s Day has not caught on with the same enthusiasm as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. It is not that I think we need another excuse to purchase cards or gifts, but a day to appreciate
the gifts that the children in our lives bring to us seems too good an opportunity to miss. Perhaps today, you can visit with your grandchildren or thank your own children, if you have youngsters at home, for the talents and abilities they share in your household. If you do not have children in your life, perhaps it is a good day to see if you can volunteer in one of the many organizations that support children or send a welcome cheque their way. Jesus said, “Whoever becomes humble like a child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name, welcomes me.” May we all find ways to support and encourage the dreams of the children in our midst.

Did you know that? Tay Valley has recycled over 3,000 tires since 2012 THE ONTARIO TIRE STEWARDSHIP (OTS) is an Industry Funding Organization (IFO)
incorporated under Ontario’s Waste Diversion Act, to implement and operate the Used Tires Program. This province-wide scrap tire solution for On-road and Off-road tires supplied into the Ontario market, diverts scrap tires away from burning and landfilling to 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) processing and uses. Launched on September 1ST, 2009, the program eliminates the “disposal fee” that consumers pay to get rid of their old tires – whether or not they are buying new ones -making it easy and free for Ontarians to get their old tires recycled by dropping them off at registered Collectors across Ontario.
All tires for recycling are accepted at the three Municipal Waste Sites during regular hours. The cost of recycling tires WITHOUT RIMS is free Tires with rims are accepted – the tipping fees are: Under 20” - $10/Over 20” - $20. (For more information please contact the Public Works Department at 613 267 5353 or visit our website at www.tayvalleytwp.ca) Space provided through a partnership between industry and Ontario Municipalities to support waste diversion programs

Legion members celebrate Remembrance Day Terry O’Hearn
Community – Perth Royal Canadian Legion Branch 92 president Eric Devlin had this to say about the huge turnout for Remembrance Day ceremonies: “On behalf of Perth-UponTay, Branch 244 of the Royal Canadian Legion, may I offer deepest thanks to all from Perth and area who took the time to be part of the great attendance at the Memorial Gates of the Great War Memorial Hospital at the 2014 Remembrance Day ceremonies. “It was indeed very heartening to look out to see many adults, including serving soldiers from CFB Petawawa, and among this representation the bright and shiny faces of the young persons, some of whom were present from local schools because their teacher had made the decision that it was worthwhile to expose young people to the annual ceremonies. “From my personal point of view, I deem it very important that we remember those who have served in the conflicts in which Canada has been involved over the many years, and in particular those who gave of their lives; not only in the area of the Town of Perth, but also in many towns and villages across our nation
Branch 244 News where similar ceremonies were occurring (or had very recently occurred). Many homes and the lives of many families have been affected by the absence of loved ones as they have chosen to serve our country. “It is a well-known fact that when one is young, one does not realize the price that is paid in service to this country that we call Canada. I will relate to you to a few facts about our own Branch 244, which include: In 1995 our branch members included 262 World War II veterans, and in 2005 our branch membership had dwindled to approximately 80 veterans. This year on our membership roll as of Nov. 11, we have 34 World War II veterans. Of course there may be other World War II ‘johnnies’ who live within the area, but it is believed that there may be only a ‘corporal’s guard’. It must be realized that veterans who served in WW II will currently be at the age of 88 years plus, so they are getting to be rather ‘long in the tooth’, and
are not as chipper as they were in their younger years. Once a year at the time of remembrance, we must continue to remember and honour the past.” A reminder that Service Bureau Officer Patricia Royle from the Legion Ontario Command will be visiting our branch on Thursday, Dec. 4, from 8 a.m. Any veterans wishing information, advice or assistance, should contact the Branch Service Officer through the Administration Office at 613-267-4400. The Saturday meat draw will take place on Saturday, Nov. 29 from 2 to 5 p.m., and the monthly Jamboree is on Dec. 13, from 2 to 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome to both events.
Did you know? The Nimitz class USS George H.W. Bush is one of the world’s largest warships, at 1,092 feet and over 100,000 tons. Her top speed exceeds 30 knots, and she can operate for more than 20 years without refueling. Comparatively, the Royal Canadian Navy’s HMCS Bonaventure was a Majestic class carrier at 630 feet in length, 16,000 tons displacement. She was purchased from the Royal Navy in 1952 to replace the HMCS Magnificent, and commissioned in 1957. After an $11 million refit, and following the unification of the Canadian Armed Forces in 1968, the “Bonnie” was decommissioned in 1970.

human spirit can adapt and survive during trying times as they work through issues which may include anxiety, depression, bullying, difficult family situations, poverty, eating disorders and addiction,” Campbell explains. Campbell describes a particularly trying day that changed her life. “A father walked into my office with his daughter in tow. He proceeded to tell me that he no longer wanted her and she was now my ‘problem’, and plopped down a large green garbage bag containing his daughter’s possessions. This girl was 16 years old and had nowhere to go. It became evident to me that there was a real lack of community services to help youth between the ages of 16 to 18 who find themselves homeless. From that experience I went on to help found Cornerstone Landing Youth Services (CLYS). CLYS provides financial assistance to at-risk youth who may be on the verge of homelessness, to stay in school and work towards their high school diploma. In a few short years we have helped several students to graduate; even seeing some of them go off to college. I am truly blessed to be part of a wonderful group of people, who are transforming lives of at-risk youth on a daily basis.” As the winner, Campbell will have an updated look just in time for the holiday season. Designer Joannou provided a fashion consultation and style advice on selecting a striking outfit from Joannou’s 2014 Fall Collection ($300). “Judy immediately put me at ease… and with her designer’s eye she expertly guided me through the process of picking out the perfect outfit,” says Campbell.

Community - Christine Campbell, dedicated youth worker at Perth and District Collegiate Institute, won “An Inspiring Woman” makeover contest co-sponsored by Judy Joannou of Judy Joannou Designs, Ashton; Dr. Manuela Joannou of Tay River Reflections Medical Spa, Perth; and Jamie Anderson and Brittany Steckly of Escape Salon and Spa, Carleton Place. The sponsors promoted the contest through their businesses, asking clients to submit stories of extraordinary women who inspire them. “Earlier this year the idea came to me to honour a woman who contributes to the community and who inspires others; someone who affects positive change in individuals and the community,” Joannou explained. These are women who focus their time and energy on others, not seeking recognition. “I wanted to discover and reward such a woman by pampering her with a beauty and style makeover.” Joannou created the contest calling on hairstylists Anderson and Steckly, and sister-in-law Dr. Joannou to contribute. Before and after images were provided courtesy of photographer Sarah Evans of Carleton Place. The total prize package is valued at over $1,500. Campbell, whose nomination was submitted by co-worker Cindy Rotar, was the winner of the grand prize of this ultimate celebration of style and beauty. Campbell, a child and youth worker at PDCI who deals with challenging and troubled teens, is a strong advocate for youth mental health and addiction issues. An active member of the Lanark Mental Health Strategy and numerous school committees, she works tirelessly to develop workshops for students and their parents. “Life for some of our youth can be very difficult, but they constantly remind me how the

region and has helped more than 1,400 children develop their reading skills. Participants are children in junior kindergarten through grade 3 who have been recommended by their teachers as needing extra help over the summer. Each receives 10 hours of one-onone tutoring during a two-week period. Children who participate show a marked improvement in attitudes about reading and the library, while making progress in tangible areas such as recognizing letter sounds or understanding sentences. “All credit is due to Susan Snyder, retired children’s librarian, who started this program and built it up over the years,” said Elizabeth Goldman, library CEO. “With contributions from local service clubs and a major fundraising effort by Jim Noble combined with the ongoing expertise and energy of library staff and summer students, the program has been able to have a real impact on the area. We are honoured to be recognized at the provincial level.” In 2014, the program’s 25th year, it expanded to add a second site in Lanark Highlands in partnership with the Lanark Highlands Public Library. The library will learn if they have won the award at the Ontario Library Association Super Conference in Toronto in January 2015.

factory to town. A year later, when it was found the Winns were “financially embarrassed” and looking to have local taxpayers bail them out, all hell broke loose. The ensuing mayhem forced Perth’s leading citizens to step forward and save an industry that was to become an integral part of the Perth community for years to come. In the end, no other industry would employ as many people in Perth as the shoe company. On Saturday, Nov. 22 McKenty will be at the Book Nook, 30 Gore St. E. in Perth from 1 – 3 p.m. to sign copies of St. Crispin’s Legacy. Be sure to stop by to pick up a copy and share a few memories of “The Shoe.” McKenty’s other books include Square Deal Garage: Sixty Years of Service to the Motoring Public (2000), Follow the Crowd: The James Boys of Perth (2008) and Arden Blackburn’s Mail Route: The Early Days at Christie Lake (2012).

Best foot forward for history Lifestyle - Have you ever wondered how the town of Perth became a major centre in the Canadian shoe industry? St. Crispin’s Legacy, the latest book by local author John McKenty tells the story of making shoes in Perth. It’s a history that begins with the cobblers who worked in small shops on Gore and Foster Streets, through the formation of the Perth Shoe Co. in 1912, and its eventual transformation in 1960 into the Brown Shoe Co. of Canada. While the evolution of the shoe trade in Perth from a cottage industry to a major manufacturing concern mirrored that of the rest of the world, it was an industry that almost didn’t survive here. During the early years of the 20th century, many small towns competed to have large-scale factories locate within their boundaries. Perth was no exception. In 1910, the town council gave the Winn family of Milton, ON, a $20,000 interest-free loan to bring their shoe

Community - Perth & District Union Public Library has been named a finalist for a Provincial Library Service Award for its Summer Literacy Program. The Angus Mowat Award of Excellence recognizes a commitment to excellence in the delivery of public library service. A jury representing libraries of all sizes from around the province reviews nominations and selects the shortlist and winners for the award, which is granted by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. The Perth Union Library Summer Literacy Program has demonstrated ongoing excellence in helping children achieve their reading goals over the last 25 years. Started with a few children and volunteer tutors, the program has grown to serve more than 100 area students each year, supported by trained tutors who are university students studying education. “As a community – Drummond/ North Elmsley, Perth and Tay Valley – we should be proud of the service the library has given and grateful that so many of our children have received a hand improving their reading skills over the past 25 years,” said Peter Wagland, chair of the Library Board and councillor for Drummond/North Elmsley Township. The Summer Literacy Program receives no taxpayer funding, but the larger community’s recognition of the program’s value allows the library to raise up to $50,000 annually for operating expenses. The program has served as a model for other literacy programs in the

Mel’s Farm to benefit from Santa photos Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
News - Animals like Fluffy the sheep will be able to find their forever home thanks to Mel’s Farm All Animal Rescue. The local animal rescue, run by Melanie Young and her team of faithful volunteers, will be the recipient of funds raised at a special event at Laura Jane’s Pet Food and Supplies in Perth on Nov. 22. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. folks can bring in their pets to have photos with Santa. If your pet pooch has a fear of the friendly St. Nicholas, you can choose to not have Santa in your photo. There are also other scenes available. Printed on site, the cost $20 each for a 5x7 print. Laura Jane’s Pet Food and Supplies is located at 99 Dufferin St., Perth. If you bring your fourlegged canine companion, please ensure he or she is on a leash. Let’s talk about Fluffy for a minute. He’s a sheep – rescued by a woman who fell in love with him after a visit to her mother’s neighbour in Peterborough. Fluffy was raised as a pet, and always kept in a small stall, said Young, who explained the sheep’s situation. “Eventually at one year of age he got too big and was going to be sent for slaughter,” Young said. The woman paid the farmer the same amount as he would have gotten from a slaughter house. “That is when she called us,” Young said. “My dad and I drove to Peterborough to pick him up. Fluffy acts more like a dog than a sheep. We had him castrated and his vaccinations updated.”

Sports – The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings stumbled on the weekend, after stringing together three big wins in EOJBH league play recently. Against the Arnprior Packers Sunday, the Blue Wings lost 4-2 and on Friday night in Gatineau, the Mustangs trampled the Blue Wings, 6-3. Coach Mat Milberry said he wasn’t disappointed in the team’s effort – they just have to stick with the game plan for a full 60 minutes. “We were faced with two tough veteran teams and were outplayed,” he said. “If they play hard, the result is good news. Every team is beatable, we just have get a full game out of them.” Milberry said he’s still on the hunt for a couple veterans to solidify the roster before the Jan. 10 deadline. In the meantime, they’re looking forward to their
Friday night game at home. “The boys feed off the big hometown crowds and they’re pretty strong. We have great support and we want to put in a good effort,” he said. On Friday, the team travelled to Gatineau where the Mustangs handed the Blue Wings a 6-3 loss. Gatineau had three goals in the first period with Kyle Dowdall answering for Perth. He was unassisted on the marker. Mikael Gevais, Alexandre Miron and Mathieu Legault had the goals for the Mustangs. In the second, Gatineau had the single marker as David Ouellette scored as the Mustangs held a 4-1 lead after two. In the final frame, the teams traded markers with Cole Timchuk and Kurtis Keohane scoring for Perth. Replying for Gatineau were Gabriel Tourangeau and Gervais with his second of the night.
Louise-Andre Jalbert had the win for Gatineau, while Brett Ayers was in the crease for Perth. Arnprior 4 Perth 2 In Arnprior on Sunday afternoon, Perth opened first with Anthony Scattolon’s goal at 13:38, assisted by Conor Rolland and Cameron Cornwall. The Packers tied the rally in the second when Isaac Perrault scored, but Perth claimed the lead again as Calvin Wheatley found the net with help from Christian Bueti at 16:57. In the third, Arnprior pulled ahead for the win with three unanswered markers, two on the power play. Corey Chaplin, Casey Doner and Michael McGrath did the scoring for Arnpior in the 4-2 win. Coming up, the Perth Blue Wings will host the Shawville Rams at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, they are in Renfrew for a 7:30 p.m. start. Connected to Your Community - P18 - Thursday, November 20, 2014
PDCI’s senior boys volleyball team does well at EOSSAA Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Sports - The Perth and District Collegiate Institute senior boys volleyball team took part in the EOSSAA tournament at St. Mary in Brockville last week. After winning LCIAA last week on their home court against the Smiths Falls RedHawks, the boys earned the right to represent the county at the Eastern Ontario championships. Coach Kelly Paul said the boys had a slow start, losing the first two sets against St. Michael Catholic High School (LGSSAA winners) of Kemptville. “Then our Devils pounded the St. Joseph’s Panthers in two straight sets. With key performances from all team members the Devils advanced to the semi-finals,” she said. PDCI came up against the fierce, strong hitting, fast offense of the first seed, l’Escale of Cornwall. PDCI was defeated in two straight hard fought sets. “Everyone played well and we were able to force l’Escale to triple block our hits and struggle with their service reception,” said Paul. PDCI gave l’Escale a scare in the second game with an eight-point run late in the game, “led by awesome serving by our setter Hayden Richmond.” Huge hits from Alex Richmond, Jimi Balfour and Evan Killeen kept the games close. “Blocking was a challenge due to the fast tempo that PDCI hadn’t seen in league play, but Isaac MatthewsHanna, Doni Nowakowski, and Kyle Major found their rhythm and shut l’Escale down and made them change their game plan,” said the proud coach. She added that the team wouldn’t have been as successful without the stellar back row play from
Kieran Roberts and Simon Guthrie locking into the l’Escale hitters and digging their huge hits created attack opportunities for PDCI. The Blue Devils will be competing in the Upper Canada Cup in Smiths Falls on Nov. 26 to cap their season. “We are looking forward to ending our season with another great competition,” said Paul. L’Escale then went on to defeat St. Michael’s in two straight sets to advance to OFSAA.

Perth ended up taking on L’Escale of Rockland in the semi-finals where they gave the French school a run for its money. In the end, PDCI was no match for the L’Escale, who went on to win the gold medal against St. Michael of Kemptville.

Ian Millar and Star Power clear the Greenhawk Oxer en route to victory in the first round of the Greenhawk Canadian Show Jumping Championships at Toronto’s Royal Horse Show. ago she had officially qualified for the prestigious international division next week, rather than having to qualify via the Canadian Championships. “I just really don’t think it could have gone any better,” said Ballard. “Keean (White) said to me before I went in the ring - ‘Really, you have nothing to lose.’ Since I’m already qualified for next week’s international division, at this point the pressure was off. Tonight was a bit like icing. It was relaxed, I got to ride the way I wanted to ride, I got to be competitive, because if I had a silly mistake, it didn’t matter. He’s the kind of horse that likes the attention of the crowd and the lights and all the energy.” Clean rounds will be of the
utmost importance however, as the scoring format means Millar will start on a score of zero, and fractions of points mean penalties for rails suddenly have the potential to become very expensive. Canada’s Tik Maynard took the first round of Horseware Indoor Eventing, riding Dutch Times to almost the same line Millar did at the north end of the arena over an entirely different course, edging out second placed Colleen Loach by just tenths of a second. The combination of hedges, brush jumps and the bank/drop, mixed with maximum height stadium jumps tested accuracy, carefulness and bravery of horse and rider over the course designed by Canadian eventing
team coach, Clayton Fredericks. “I felt like I was all over the place tonight,” said Maynard. “When I walked the course when they set it up - it was huge. I wondered if I should stay with my plan to cut the corner on the turn into the bank, but I knew my horse was pretty quick and careful with his feet, and in the end it rode really nicely. A couple of lines didn’t ride as well as I thought they would, but my horse is so awesome that I just let him do his thing. The plan was to be fairly aggressive to the turn into the bank. He’s got a big stride and can sometimes be a little slower over the jumps so my plan was to really get the turns as quick as possible.”

Sports - The 92nd Royal Horse Show opened Saturday at the Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, and the packed house was treated a full slate of equestrian excitement. From the rocking excitement of Horseware Indoor Eventing and the Shetland Pony Grand National races, to the nail-biting hairpin turns of the Greenhawk Canadian Show Jumping Championships and the majestic beauty of the heavy horse four-horse hitches, visitors experienced the full range of what makes The Royal Horse Show uniquely special. Ten-time Olympian Ian Millar of Perth, captured the opening round of the Greenhawk Canadian Show Jumping Championships with Star Power, demonstrating he still has the keen edge (and perhaps the wisdom which only comes with experience) and quick wits to get the job done. The congested north end of the arena proved the undoing of many a rider, with a left turn out of the in-gate to a skinny fence at jump eight followed by a right turn to an oxer at nine and then past the in-gate again to the combination at ten a/b... As one commentator said, it was likely that many of the riders would like to take fence eight and just “burn it” because it toppled so frequently. Millar cleared eight and nine fine, but found a path to 10 which was obviously not on the original plan, resulting in some ‘enthusiastic encouragement’ of his mount Star Power. “Through the windshield it wasn’t a pretty sight!” joked Millar following the ribbon ceremony. “What ended up happening was a point of no return. Once I had the pace I had, and the track I had, it was too late to change my mind. Although what I had was not exactly ideal - it was too late to change it and I was committed and the only move was a decisive forward. Many riders would hesitate for a split second at that moment, and if you do you’re cooked. You’ve got to go. So that’s what I did and fortunately Star Power rose to the occasion.” Runner-up Erynn Ballard of Tottenham, Ont., found out just days

‘upholding the same values and freedom that we continue to cherish and fight for today.’ Yet in reality, Harry Patch was steadfastly opposed to war, which he once described as ‘nothing better than legalized mass murder.’ As a sniper during the Great War, he made a pact with other men in his unit to never shoot to kill, only to inflict minor wounds on German soldiers so that they would be sent home..” Backbeat Books and Music co-owner Christine Chu says the store is a perfect venue for the launch. “Backbeat Books & Music’s customers often remark on our cozy, intimate and homey atmosphere, making it the perfect backdrop for an author reading. We are excited to host this book launch for Stephen Dale’s latest book because we have a special place in our hearts - and on our bookshelves - for Canadian authors. As the one hundredth anniversary of World War I is upon us, this book will appeal to many of our customers and a special signed edition will make a truly special gift for the holidays.” Guest speaker Hans Sinn will address the work of Civilian Peace Service Canada (http://civilianpeaceservice. ca), which works to promote the idea that civilians can be actively involved in the work of peace building. The group states that “To strengthen civilian conflict resolution capacity, CPSC is developing a reserve of qualified peace professionals – unarmed civilians, professionally trained and accredited based on shared core values and proven key competencies—who perform a recognized and valuable element in peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding.” The Noble Illusions book launch is free.

Community - Perth residents will enjoy a rare major Canadian publisher book launch Thursday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. at Backbeat Books and Music (6 Wilson St., at Foster) when Fernwood Publishing author Stephen Dale comes to town to share insights into his latest book, Noble Illusions: Young Canada Goes to War. He will be joined in discussion by Hans Sinn, co-chair of Civilian Peace Service Canada. Timed to coincide with the centenary of the start of the First World War, Dale’s latest book is a fascinating look at a boys’ book of a century ago, one that, as he says, allowed him to see “exactly what young men were being told that led them to eagerly sign up for war, and to compare that to the propaganda of today.” “Now that all veterans of the Great War have died, governments around the world feel they can downplay the horrors of the (First World War), and instead promote a nostalgic, sentimentalized vision of what led young people to war a hundred years ago,” says Dale. “I hope that Noble Illusions is in some way an antidote to the current government’s glorification of war, and its Photoshop(ed) version of World War One. My intention in writing the book was to provide a counterpoint to all the cheerleading.” One of the most poignant of those stories is that of Harry Patch, the oldest surviving soldier of the First World War, who passed away at age 111 in 2009. “His story illustrates how governments have hijacked veterans’ experiences for their own purposes,” says Dale. “Patch was eulogized as someone who symbolized ‘a generation that in youth was steadfast in its duty’ and who should be remembered for

Award winning Sultans of String appear at MERA Nov. 30 Community - Canadian string super-group, Sultans of String, led by six-string violinist and two-time JUNO Award nominee Chris McKhool, will make a very special appearance at MERA Schoolhouse, as part of the Sunday Schoolhouse Concert Series, in a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Nov. 30. Canada’s ambassadors of musical diversity, Sultans of String thrill their audiences with their global sonic tapestry of Spanish Flamenco, Arabic folk, Cuban rhythms, and French Manouche Gypsy-jazz, celebrating musical fusion and human creativity with warmth and virtuosity. Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenco guitar while a funk bass lays down unstoppable grooves. Acoustic strings meet with electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound, while world rhythms excite audiences to their feet with the irresistible need to dance. The band is riding a wave of success fuelled by their recent collaboration with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, documented on their latest album, Symphony, their sold out Yalla Yalla! and MOVE Canadian CD release tours, their national features on CTV’s CanadaAM and CBC’s Canada Live, and their quadruple nomination for the 2012 Canadian Folk Music Awards, winning World Group of the Year. Their CDs soared to #1 across Canada on Top

Chris Mckhool and Kevin Laliberte are the Sultans of String.
Ten national radio charts, and Sultans of String won the award for Best Variety Act from Festivals & Events Ontario as well as the International Songwriting Competition! The buzz extends into the U.S., with acclaimed promoter David Wilkes (Emmylou Harris, Bela Fleck, Jesse Cook) now representing the band. Late last month, the band received word that Sultans of String has made it onto the Official Ballot for the 57th Annual Grammy Awards with the CD Symphony (featuring a special guest appearance by The Chieftains’ Paddy Moloney). They hope to be named finalists for Best American Roots Performance for the track ‘Emerald Swing.’ Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient
and 2009 JUNO Award Nominee, McKhool grew up in a house bursting with music and diversity. His paternal Makhoul grandparents immigrated to Canada from Lebanon in the early 1900’s. His Egyptian-born mother is a piano and theory teacher. Growing up he was fed a steady diet of delicious musicality along with Middle Eastern cuisine and violin lessons. When McKhool (who has performed with Jesse Cook and Pavlo) first heard founding guitarist Kevin Laliberté’s rumba rhythm their musical mind-meld created the Sultans of String’s sound – the intimate and playful relationship between violin and the flamenco guitar. Sultans of String includes such amazing musical friends as: Eddie Paton (Robert Michaels), bass master Drew Birston (Chantal Kreviazuk), and Cuban master percussionists Chendy Leon & Alberto Suarez. Touring as everything from a duo to a quintet,
McKhool and Laliberté draw from this collective of master musicians to bring Sultans of String to community, festival and intermediate/high school audiences around the world including the Celtic Connections Festival in the UK, Birdland jazz Club in NYC, Mariposa Folk Festival, National Arts Centre, and performing with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Roy Thompson Hall.

Tay Valley Township’s Cheryl Nash honoured with Lanark County Award of Excellence News – Lanark County council honoured a Tay Valley Township resident with a 2014 Award of Excellence during a presentation as part of the regular council meeting Nov. 12. The award recognizes and honours citizens or organizations that have made a significant and/ or extraordinary contribution to Lanark County. This year Cheryl Nash was recognized in the Business/Agriculture/Industry/Tourism category. “These awards celebrate people who give freely of their time and who promote our county and continue to make it such a wonderful place to live,” said warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith reeve). “Since the start of the program, we have seen many examples of local citizens and organizations that have made a big difference in the lives of others. Through actions large and small, we have role models at work in Lanark County.” The program began in 2005 as a way to recognize recipients for contributions to the county at large or in at least two municipalities. It was developed to say thank you to citizens of Lanark County, to provide community recognition and visibility, to support citizens for their contributions and to inspire further community service. Nash was nominated by the Township of Beckwith for her contributions to the agricultural

Cheryl Nash, of Tay Valley Township, was honoured with the 2014 Lanark County Award of Excellence Nov. 12, in the Business/Agriculture/Industry/ Tourism category. Far right, Lanark County warden and Beckwith reeve Richard Kidd, right, presented Nash with the honour. Above, Nash is sureconomy by bringing farmers and consumers together throughout Lanark County with a “Buy Local” movement that has created a long-term spinoff related to healthy communities and economic growth for garden farmers. “Cheryl’s goals around local food are a real passion for her, as can be seen in her calls for action,” the nomination indicated, noting such activities as meet-and-greet events to bring
together commercial consumers and producers, the “Get Fresh with Lanark Local Flavours” initiative that provides info about food and farming and highlights producers and farm gate sales, and her efforts to provide support and coordination to a number of different organizations, including the Eastern Ontario Local Food Collaborative and others interested in local food issues throughout the region. Nash is a founding member
rounded by family and friends who came out to support her as she received the award. She was nominated by the Township of Beckwith for her contributions to the agricultural economy by bringing farmers and consumers together through a “Buy Local’ initiative.
on the board of directors for ecoPerth, a member of the Lanark County Agricultural Advisory Committee and a member of the organizing committee for the Lanark County Harvest Festival, which formed in 2013. “The harvest festival is an annual event that celebrates local food by hosting a super famers’ market, speakers’ series and buylocal cooking demonstrations,” the nomination indicated. “Cheryl played a key role connecting
the committee with local producers and encouraging their participation in this first-time event.” She has also played a major role in the development of the Two Rivers Food Hub. Thanks to a combination of provincial legislation, grants, the availability of the kitchen and storage facilities at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls, and Nash’s co-ordination of local producers and consumers, the food hub is expected to be open by the end of this year.
Its goal is to increase local food production, provide processors with local resources for preserving and baking, and provide buyers with a place to purchase local food, which has positive environmental effects by reducing transportation costs. In a letter of support for the nomination, ecoPerth chair Janet Duncan described Nash’s extensive work in the slow food See AWARD pg. 51

movement, as well as with ecoPerth, an award-winning incorporated not-for-profit agency that has been working on climate change projects and local food initiatives since 1998. “Cheryl Nash is the prime volunteer coordinator of local food activities and has focused her efforts on supporting farmer activities and other organizations thorough numerous projects,” Duncan said. Ray Elgersma, who is with the food hub, also submitted a letter of support and commented on Nash’s enormous contributions to that project. “The intent is to ‘mainstream local food,’ and that is going to happen thanks in large part to Cheryl’s vision, tenacity and drive...While this has been a community effort with many volunteer hours given by numerous persons, Cheryl has been the spark plug that has kept the group fired up and the gatepost on which much of the committee activity has swung,” he said.
He added she has given tirelessly throughout this past year to see the concept realized for Lanark County. “She does this because she believes it is in the interest of this county and the health and well-being of its residents to have this,” Elgersma stated. Warden Kidd thanked Nash for her passion to serve the community and to keep it healthy. “The food hub is truly a legacy project as it has the potential to help not only our local farmers, but everyone who lives here. Cheryl is to be commended for her hard work on making the food hub a reality,” he said. “She was a great candidate for this award because her work involves the whole county. It can be difficult to find someone to celebrate who contributes to all of Lanark County.” Nash thanked the Township of Beckwith and her supporters (Cassandra McGregor, Ray Elgersma and Janet Duncan) for the nomination. “I am truly and deeply hon-
Colourful characters and fun songs bring farcical fairytale to life Lise Corbett
Arts – The fun starts from the moment the curtain opens in the upcoming farcical fairytale, Cinderella, by local musical theatre troupe, the Mississippi Mudds. Colourful characters abound. You’ll meet a grown-up Miss Muffet who is wooed by Dandini, Prince Charming’s faithful valet. Rag, Tag and Bobtail, the village bailiffs, are a fairy-tale version of the “Three Stooges” who are sorely lacking in intellectual prowess. The King, a soloist wannabe, has a difficult time being properly introduced, given his high station. The fairy Godmother loves to speak in rhymes while helping to make Cinderella’s dreams come true. And, Buttons, Baron Hardup’s servant, who is hopelessly in love with Cinderella and deeply divided in his duties between Tutti and Frutti, Cinderella’s stepsisters, and his master, Cinderella’s father – Baron Hardup. Children will enjoy the antics of Tutti and Frutti, Cinderella’s stepsisters who compete furiously for the attentions and affection of Prince Charming, and try to – and in the end succeed – literally – in sweeping him off his feet. They will laugh in the scene where the two sisters duke it out in a contest of brute strength and
determination. May the best sister win! There is much to catch and hold the eye in this show: a horse that meets up with a fox during a “foxy” kind of song; a rather messy and disorganized choral practice by a glee club led by the tone-deaf Baron Hardup; the King’s fruitless and sorry efforts to find an audience for his voice; the bailiffs who, along the way, are literally “washed up” in their efforts to storm Baron Hardup’s manor estate; and of course, the magical scene where a resplendent Cinderella appears at the ball and captivates the prince. The play is interspersed with action, dance and song – and even a jig! There is something for everyone, including a fun assortment of songs performed by the Mudds chorus while accompanied by Peter Brown and a four-member band. What’s not to love? Performances are Nov. 28 and Nov. 29 at 7:30 p.m., Nov. 30 at 2 p.m., Dec. 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets, $20 evenings, and $15 matinees, from Reads Book Shop, 135 Bridge Street, Photo courtesy of Doris Ohlmann Carleton Place, 613-257-7323 or at the door.

Is the year of recall overload? Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
current Fiat Chrysler Auto recall for an electrical fault in rear power-vent windows will allow the owner to have the switch disconnected until repair parts are available. But what if there are no mitigating measures to take? Whether or not you decide to operate a vehicle that’s under a voluntary or mandatory safety recall is really up to you. But no automaker will supply free transportation while your vehicle sits in the driveway. Consider that almost every safety recall issued in North America involved issues where only a small percentage of the vehicle’s involved developed a fault that put drivers and passengers at risk. As some of my colleagues at repair shops put it, “the vehicle really isn’t any different after the recall notice came in the mail than before the post office delivered it.” Or think of it this way; there are a lot more risks to driving public roads every day than an uncompleted safety recall presents. Tip of the week As the cooler weather approaches the importance of a fully operational heating and ventilation system becomes more important than ever. A key to this is the cabin air filter. Many customers are surprised to learn that their vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter. It’s becoming a very popular feature on even the most entry-level vehicles. When this filter gets clogged it can reduce the amount of air flow in the vehicle and can slow windshield defrosting time. If you’re not sure if your vehicle has a cabin filter, check with your dealership or owner’s manual. Most of these filters can be accessed and checked without tools or special skills and if they’re dirty, replace them to keep the view clear and you and your passengers warm. 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.

Lifestyle – This year, 2014 in the automotive industry has been the year of the recall. Whether it was General Motors setting records with the number of vehicles called back or problems with Takata air bags or automaker executives being called on the carpet in front of US congressional hearings, there was no shortage of recall news. The latest tidbit is from General Motors. It seems they are having problems getting customers to come in to their dealerships to get the ignition recall repairs completed, so they’re resorting to bribery, offering owners (in the US) $25 gift cards, good at up to seven different retailers such as Starbucks or Walmart when they get their recall done. But why wouldn’t a car owner rush to get a safety related recall completed? There are basically two types of customers when it comes to recalls; one who routinely ignores manufacturer mail-outs (including recalls) either due to a mistrust of the automaker’s motives or a lack of concern about their vehicle and one who believes they can’t drive their car until the repair is completed. Yes, there are varying degrees of both types but the latter group can drive more than their cars right round the bend. What the majority of consumers don’t know is that it is a very rare circumstance that sees an automaker ready to complete a recall when the notice is first mailed out. In many cases, it’s a matter of not having a sufficient supply of parts available to dealership service departments. Often recall notice timing is early due to a manufacturer’s desire to meet federal guidelines with notifying consumers in a timely manner. It can often take weeks or months for required parts to be made, packaged, and distributed. In cases where the numbers of autos recalled are large, dealerships are sometimes restricted to the number of parts they can order. None of these circumstances are controllable in any way shape or form by the retailer. But what should a responsible car owner do? In most cases if the recall represents a serious risk and repair parts are not readily available, carmakers will provide measures and instructions to minimize the danger. For example, when the GM ignition switch recall was in its early stages, drivers were instructed to not have anything attached to the ignition key; no rings, fobs, tags, or dangly decorations (this is good advice no matter what type of vehicle you drive). In other cases suspect components can be rendered inoperable if they’re not required for function or safety. A

1974 Plymouth Duster bought for only $300, creates many memories on both sides but the 318 V8 was solid. That old car was a lot of fun. We would load it up with five or six friends and hit the highway, off to the beach or concert, wherever the spirit moved us. As long as the weather was warm and dry, that is. “In cold weather the automatic choke often needed help. I popped the hood, took off
the breather cover while my girlfriend got a screwdriver to hold the butterfly valve open, then I jumped behind the wheel
and tried to start it. A backfire through the carb scared the daylights out of her. I put in a manual coke after that. “I knew the end was near one Labour Day weekend when I was going to the Pinerys to pick up my girlfriend and bring her back to school. I had stopped for gas and the latch pin on the driver’s door got bent out of place. The door wouldn’t stay closed so I buckled my seatbelt and held the door closed with my left arm hanging out, be-
AMO transfers second federal gas tax fund payment to Ontario municipalities is to be invested,” said Gary McNamara, AMO president. “I know that communities across Ontario will continue to put this critical funding to work building, repairing and improving municipal infrastructure.” Under the new 2014 gas tax agreement, municipalities can invest in more than 15 project categories. In Ontario, municipalities can also choose to invest their gas tax funds with the One Investment Program – a pooling program developed by AMO and the Municipal Finance Officers Association. It gives municipal governments the ability to grow their funds so that there is additional money to spend on infrastructure. The federal gas tax fund provides Ontario municipalities with $744 million per year.
AMO delivers the fund to all Ontario municipalities, except the City of Toronto. It is delivered twice a year, on a per capita basis. Funding is invested in infrastructure that makes our communities safer, more efficient and prosperous. You can learn more about the federal gas tax fund in Ontario by visiting www.gastaxatwork.ca or @GasTaxinOntario on Twitter. AMO is a non-profit organization representing almost all of Ontario’s 444 municipal governments. AMO supports and enhances strong and effective municipal government in Ontario and promotes the value of municipal government as a vital and essential component of Ontario and Canada’s political system.

News – The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) has completed its second transfer in 2014 of federal gas tax funds to Ontario municipalities. The federal gas tax fund is one of the only long term, permanent and stable forms of funding for municipal infrastructure. It can be invested into many different types of infrastructure that meet local needs. While the federal gas tax fund is a national program, the way it is administered in Ontario is unique due to a direct federal-municipal partnership where AMO administers funds directly to municipalities, twice a year, on a per capita basis. “In Ontario, it’s up to municipalities to identify local needs and priorities and decide exactly where the federal gas tax fund

The 2015 Chevrolet Trax’s design features and smooth ride makes it competition in the compact SUV and crossover market.
Chevrolet Trax a threat in SUV market Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Chevrolet Trax I enjoyed for this review came from the great folks at Mike Fair Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac in Smiths Falls. Compact SUVs and crossovers are one of the fastest growing and competitive segments in the automotive industry. As more and more consumers are getting behind the wheels of these doit-all transports, their expectations are becoming more refined. Drivers are no longer willing to settle for SUVs that have rough unforgiving suspension or have a heavy thirst for fuel or are difficult to maneuver in tight settings. They also want styling that toes the line between bland and aggressive and of course, above all, they want all the safety and electronic features found in most high-line vehicles. Chevrolet hits all these marks with the Trax. The Trax starts the price range at $18,695 and goes up to $30,545 for a fully loaded LTZ trimmed model. My Trax 2LT AWD from Mike Fair was $28,890 (all prices before destination and prep fees, taxes, and current incentives). This tag brings all you would expect in

this price class plus remote start, power sunroof, heated mirrors, leather trimmed seats and leather wrapped steering wheel, seveninch colour touch screen, and of course GM’s OnStar communication system complete with a 4G LTE WiFi connectivity and Siri eyes-free voice-command capability. One of the real surprises in the Trax package is what’s under the hood. GM’s 1.4 L Ecotec 4-cylinder engine is mated to a six-speed automatic. While the 138 hp output won’t light up anyone’s shopping spec list, the transmission’s gearing takes full advantage of this responsive power plant to deliver performance that some V-6’s can’t and fuel economy that some hybrids don’t. Unlike many of their competitors, GM has removed the tinny sound and feeling usually associated with smaller powertrains and replaced it with a smooth quiet power-band that’s right at home cruising the highways and tackling the back roads to the cottage. A low step in means no struggling to take your seat and the interior is as well laid out and designed as the exterior and undercarriage. My tester was ordered from GM by Mike Fair’s GM, Kristine Fair and her choice of exterior colour and interior trim package adds a fresh look that many consumers will find attractive. On the road this is one of the quietest compact SUVs I’ve driven and it handles like a well executed sedan platform. The all-wheel drive system is totally automatic with no driver input required. It simply activates when
one or more wheels lose traction giving a sure-footed confidence regardless of road or weather conditions. GM designers stayed away from excessively trendy window and lift-gate forms to provide great driver vision from all angles. Rear storage/cargo capability is above average with almost 19 cubic feet behind the second row seating and over 48 cubic feet when those seats are folded down flat. Door pockets abound as do dash and console storage cubbies with the USB and auxiliary input ports located in a lidded dash-top compartment to keep valuable electronics out of sight. The properly positioned seven-inch colour touch-screen minimizes distraction and the audio system was the first I’ve found that lets you preselect the ignition-on volume to avoid you being blasted by the last heavymetal driver in the Trax or not being able to hear the latest traffic report because the default volume was too low. The fuel economy ratings on the Trax AWD with an automatic transmission are 7.6 L/100 km highway and 9.7 L/100 km city. Its 53 L fuel tank should deliver a 550 km range of mixed driving and cost around $60 to fill with regular unleaded at $1.25/L. The front-wheel drive version with a manual transmission is about seven per cent better. As Kristine Fair puts it, “This vehicle certainly is gaining ‘trax’tion in sales this year as more consumers become aware of this compact SUV. The price point of the all wheel drive model, its fuel efficiency, the flexible seating/cargo area and its overall size has made it attractive across the generations – youth and seniors alike, primarily women.” Agreed.

Dumber and dumberer 20 years later To
MOVIE: Dumb and Dumber
STARRING: Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels, Rob Riggle, Laurie Holden, Rachel Melvin, and Kathleen Turner DIRECTORS: Bobby Farrelly and Peter Farrelly RATING: PG Entertainment – The anticipation for this sequel was huge, about fifteen years ago. Twenty years after the fact and I’m afraid the concept has lost some of its charm. We find our mentally deficient heroes 20 years later older, but no wiser. Lloyd (Jim Carrey) is catatonic, and has been institutionalized. Harry (Jeff Daniels) has been coming to see him every week for the last two decades. Of course Lloyd has been faking it all this time just to pull one over on Harry. Once the joke is out the two friends are re-united. The reunion comes just in time because Harry needs a new kidney. Luckily Harry has also just discovered he fathered a child 20 years ago. Now all the dynamic
My Take
Mark haskins
duo has to do is find this daughter and possible compatible kidney donor, and convince her to give up a kidney. It turns out Harry’s daughter, Penny (Rachel Melvin), is still living with her adopted father Dr. Pinchelow (Steve Tom) a wealthy and famous scientist. In the resulting road trip to track Penny down Lloyd and Harry get into one moronic misadventure after another. They even stumble into a plot to kill Dr. Pinchelow by the current Mrs. Pinchelow (Laurie Holden) and their handyman Travis (Rob Riggle). Fortunately Lloyd and Harry are oblivious to it all. I want to start by saying I loved Dumb and Dumber. It’s a hysterical film. Now the sequel isn’t
without its moments. There’s one scene in particular involving Rob Riggle, and a ridiculous number of fireworks that’s very funny. However, much of the rest of the film just feels tired and old. There are glimpses of the old magic that made the first film great, but that’s all there is; glimpses. Mostly Dumb and Dumber To is kind of boring. Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels slip into these characters like they’re slipping into an old pair of jeans. These guys are tremendous talents. Rachel Melvin is delightful as the innocent and dim-witted daughter. Rob Riggle has his moments as he tries to kill Lloyd and Harry. Laurie Holden goes above and beyond to commit to her character, and Kathleen Turner, who plays Penny’s biological mom, is surprisingly in this film. Dumb and Dumber To wasn’t all bad. I got to see trailers for Avengers: Age of Ultron, Seventh Son and Horrible Bosses 2. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.
