Darou Farm set for demolition following renovation sticker shock

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – With an $800,000 price tag, the cost of saving the Darou Farm has proven to be too rich for council’s taste.

“Taking the building down, stone by stone, and reassembled on another site… was the best (option) overall,” said Coun.

Judy Brown, at the Perth committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

Dr. Warren Hollis has been given approval now, by council, to come up with a plan for the re-use of the buildings in Lombardy.

“There is some serious dollars here,” said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell. “We should take that money and put it into heritage buildings where people and tourists are.”

Council looked at four possible scenarios, with a wide range

of financial implications: • Do nothing: $1,000 (liability) • Building removal, site remediation, keep site under town control: $9,598.

• Maintain the buildings on site, basic restoration, site maintenance: $123,200.

• Maintain the buildings on site, restore to a livable condition: $814,498.

Gemmell dismissed the latter two options, which he said “just reek of money pit.”

“We came to a pretty unanimous conclusion,” said Coun.

Beth Peterkin.

She was part of a sub-committee which looked at the longterm viability of the town-owned property.

“We felt strongly that this was the best option that we had available to us...If we had a million dollars in our back pocket, we

could do it. But we don’t have a million dollars in our back pocket, and there are other things we need to put our money in.”

Coun. Jim Boldt was part of the same committee, and while he agreed with Peterkin, he added that the heritage aspect of the property was not without merit.

“The icing on the cake for me was when we did the walkthrough on the house… there was definitely some heritage value,” said Boldt. “(But) I was expecting a lot more. I was shocked at what disarray the building was in. It is the best decision. We’ve been looking at this for two-anda-half years. It is time to put it to bed.”

Mayor John Fenik, however, was a very vocal critic against demolishing the building in any form.

News – Perth could reap the windfall of lower policing costs, if a new OPP funding model is adopted.

Stephanie Gray, the chair of the Perth Police Services Board (PSB), told the Thursday, Nov. 17 meeting that municipalities where policing costs are more than $400 per household would likely see their costs go down.

“Perth is in the $750 range,” said Gray, during a meeting held in the provincial offences court at Perth town hall. “It is good news for Perth in that they will pay less under the new funding model.”

Not all area municipalities would benefit under a new model, however. George Braithwaite, the provincial appointee to the Lanark Highlands Township PSB, recently told his board that the Highlands’ might see increased police costs, and “Tay Valley was quite vocal that their tax bills could go up $110 to $200 because of this,” said Gray.

The new funding model, if adopted, would come into effect in January of 2015, before the Perth OPP contract expires.

Any changes would replace that contract, though there will be talks on the matter before that happens.

Perth’s chief administrative officer, John deRosenroll, recounted how Prescott Mayor Brett Todd told a consultative conference he attended that “we’ve been overpaying for a decade.

“We can’t wait any longer. We need this today,” deRosenroll recounted Todd as saying.

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell noted that while some communities have been overpaying for police service, “the rest have been underpaying and have been carried.”

Gray explained one of the reasons why Perth’s costs may have been higher than those of surrounding municipalities.

“This is a hub community,” she said. “People come here, they drink, they get into bar fights, and we pay for it,” she said by way of example.

“This evens it out,” she added, though she admitted that, “no model will be perfect.”

She surmised that, “maybe, Tay Valley should pick up the bill if people come from there and pick fights here,” though she hastened to add, “not to pick on Tay Valley.”

Gemmell, however, pointed out that it may not be possible to send Tay Valley, or any other municipality, a bill for cop costs incurred by their residents while in Perth.

The Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services has been working on a new billing model since March, following “calls for reform to the process for several years,” said Gray. “The current billing model is based on the deployment model,” which is based primarily on calls for service.

By the numbers According to documents obtained by The Perth Courier, the current 15-year-old model uses an hourly-based methodology, with one full-time position accounting for 1,467 hours, which is used to calculate detachment staffing requirements.

However, Gray noted that the model “varies widely from place to place,” and that the new model seeks to even the playing field as much as possible, by taking “into account that all police services require a base level of infrastructure, supervision, administration, and sufficient front-line policing,” according to the documents.

Municipalities would be an “equitable share,” of “essential base level policing services,” to about 73 per cent of total costs.

They would also pick up the bill for calls for service, about 27 per cent, based on net calls for service.

The base service level with the new model is estimated to be about $250 per household, plus calls for service, for an average of $369 per household. This would mean that, with a current household average of about $750, Perth residents could save about $381.

EQAO literacy scores show long-term upward trend: UCDSB News – A review of provincial testing results within the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) shows our students are progressing well in the areas of elementary reading and writing.

More work must still be done in mathematics and the board has launched an initiative to help elementary teachers improve instructional practices and our students improve results, Director David K. Thomas told trustees Nov. 13.

An interim report by Thomas on Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) standardized testing results shows a ten-year upward trend in elementary scores in literacy, the director said in a report to trustees. The report was requested by the board as part of its update of the accountability framework.

In primary writing over the past ten years, our scores have risen from 52 per cent of students attaining levels 3 and 4 to 76 per cent. Junior reading scores have jumped from 52 per cent to 74 per cent, and junior writing scores have increased from 45 per cent to 71 per cent. “We have clearly delineated our work in numeracy and literacy by moving the culture of our classrooms so that our students are involved in genuine learning that is rooted in the Ontario curriculum,� said Thomas. “...

Responsive teachers are embracing this new pedagogy and our classrooms

are becoming places of learning as opposed to places of schooling.�

Board staff members are working hard to improve students’ mathematics scores, he added. While Grade 9 academic math scores are historically higher than ten years ago, with an improvement from 67 per cent to 77 per cent, more work overall in both applied and academic math instruction must be done.

Thomas described mathematics as a “significant issue.� “We have to look at preparing our teachers, particularly at the primary and junior level, and give math more attention,� he said.

Thomas reminded trustees the board has implemented a new charter under its CREW Strategic Plan simply called Math. Through this charter, elementary teachers will gain the confidence to enable their students to acquire the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum and to better challenge, respond and extend student thinking in mathematics. The charter is addressing junior math initially with a focus on algebra and basic numeracy to provide a solid foundation for success in mathematics in high school.

according to Ministry of Education requirements. The board had, for provincial compliance purposes, in-year revenue of $348,802,048 and expenses of $348,205,830 with an in-year surplus of $596,218 for the year 2012-2013.

Additionally, the external auditors have provided an unqualified opinion as assurance to the board that the statements were prepared in accordance with the required basis of accounting and are free from misstatements. • Trustees re-examined a board facilities report from 2008 that states that over the subsequent 25 years the province will save more than $52 million from the changes implemented by the board through the Boundary 2020 process. The board again called for the province to allow it to use the savings generated by these local courageous decisions to modernize the UCDSB school system.

The board wants the province to take the report into consideration during the Ministry of Education’s School Board Efficiencies and Modernization Consultations.

Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

Gord Brown announces public meeting on Rideau Canal set for Dec. 5 in Lombardy News – On Nov. 18, Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for LeedsGrenville announced the date of his public meeting on the Rideau Canal.

“There has been a lot of work taking place this fall by our member partners in the Living and Visiting the Rideau project and I am pleased at the progress that has been made and excited to see the final report,” explains Brown.

“I will be holding a public meeting on at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5 at the Lombardy Agricultural Hall to add to this process,” he adds.

Since the beginning of October, the Rideau Roundtable has held a series of meetings and brought together a number of interested stakeholders to come up with an effective strategy to create a collective re-visioning of the canal to ensure that it would live up to its potential as a UNESCO World Heritage Site now, and into the future.

With the support of Brown, the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville, Parks Canada, Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (with Frontenac and 1000 Islands CDFC), the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association, Lanark County, the Town of Smiths Falls, and the Ministry of Tourism and Culture for the Province of Ontario, this project evolved into the Rideau Canal Visitor Experience Opportunities Concept (VEOC).

The VEOC encourages stake-

holders to take an active, coordinated and collaborative role in the visioning of programs, services, and activities that will facilitate meaningful experiences and opportunities for guests to the region to connect with the essence of the region’s natural and cultural character, and the heritage of its people.

This approach builds upon experience gained in similar successful VEOCs conducted for the Historic Fortifications of Quebec City, Grosse Ile National Historic Site, Gros Morne National Park and the Terra Novas, in Newfoundland and the Four Windows on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. In Fundy, this stakeholder engagement process received a tourism award.

The Rideau Canal VEOC process occurred during October and November with a series of six, twoday, facilitated discussions with small stakeholders groups, made of people from and wide array of interests and backgrounds from specific geographical regions of the Rideau Corridor.

These groups were tasked with brainstorming new experience concepts that would create a base for collaboration and action aimed at enhancing the financial sustainability of the canal and adjacent communities, and ensuring the canal meets its potential as a world class site, vibrant and animated.

Throughout the VEOC sessions, a number of inter-linked challenges were addressed, such as: 1) Responding to the values and

interests of guests and residents with relevant and responsive programs and services; 2) Strategically expanding the Rideau Canal’s world heritage site image and profile, though opportunities to connect with the heritage of the Rideau Canal, its related communities and landscapes, and to enhance the reputation of it as sustainable heritage corridor; 3) Increasing and diversifying the number of visitors who can benefit from the experience opportunities offered throughout the corridor; 4) Identifying opportunities for collaborative and strategic investment in the growth and evolution of the Rideau Canal as a world heritage destination, thereby benefitting the economic, social and environmental well-being of Rideau Corridor communities; and 5) Achieving the above in accordance with Canada’s Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Sustainable Tourism.

There were a range of ideas and

At the meeting he will accept written comments and ideas and, time permitting, allow individuals to briefly explain their submissions.

“The submissions will be used in the final report,” he says.

In January 2014, a final report on what has been learned in the VEOC sessions will be released to the public for review. The next steps will be for all interested parties to evaluate these ideas, identify some items for commitment and to start making things happen.

The VEOC or Visitor Experience Opportunity “Concept” is intended to be a living document which may be used to set the foundation for work that will hopefully guide the direction of the Rideau corridor into the future.

This grassroots project has something for everyone and has the potential to engage a broader audience in creating a welcoming, more economically viable and sustainable Rideau Canal and corridor for years to come.

Christmas Celtic Kitchen Ceilidh Dec. 6 at the Perth Museum Community – Help the Friends of Murphys Point Park and Heritage Mica Days raise some funds while getting into the spirit of the season Friday, Dec. 6 at a Christmas Celtic Kitchen Ceilidh.

The event will be held at the Perth Museum and Visitor Centre (11 Gore Street East) from 7:30 to 11 p.m. and will feature Celtic music by Cratur, seasonal snacks and beverages, as well as a fabulous silent auction and door prizes. Some of the silent auction items collected so far include: a family membership to the Diefenbunker; gift certificate towards brewing a batch of wine; CDs and handmade jewelry from Pat Moore; CDs from Linda Greni-

initiatives generated. With some actions “doable” immediately; some actionable in the next few years, and some, when opportunity permits.

The process, though future oriented, has proven to be immediately relevant, and has already served to bring different groups together to move ideas forward in collaboration for the betterment of their businesses, their communities and ultimately for Rideau corridor.

“I am extremely pleased at how well these sessions have been working and the ideas that are coming forward,” says Brown.

“I am also encouraging people to take part in an online survey,” he explains. “The information gathered in this survey will stand with final VEOC report for consideration.”

The survey can be accessed at: www.surveymonkey.com/s/RideauExperiences.

“The public meeting I am holding will also be used to generate ideas and comments to add to this process,” he notes.

The benefits of an enclosed cargo trailer When it comes to hauling your property enclosed cargo trailers offer maximum protection, both from the elements during a harsh Canadian winter, and from theft.

It is this feature that really distinguishes enclosed trailers from flat-bed utility and sports models.

Enclosed cargo trailers can be useful in a range of situations. For example, if you’re in the landscaping or construction business and need to bring large equipment to work sites on a daily basis, an enclosed trailer can be a convenient and simple way to do so. They’re also a good solution for moving recreational equipment, from ATVs to jet skis to camping gear. Finally, enclosed cargo trailers are perhaps the best option for hauling your furniture and other belongings when moving homes.

TM

Both cars and motorcycles can tow enclosed cargo trailers and they are available in a range of structures, sizes, and shapes.

Montreuil is using the event to obtain live performance video footage for use in her promotional packages for area booking agents and festival directors and this seemed like a perfect opportunity.

Also on the bill for the evening is the Kingstonbased duo of Anna Sudac and Jesse MacMillan. Sudac is from Kingston and has spent years working in the performing arts in Toronto as well as Kingston. Montreuil felt it would be nice to bring some fresh, new talent to the area and Sudac seemed like the perfect choice. This event will have a cash bar and is a fundraiser for LGBT Lanark County Civitan.

Also, anyone who takes video footage throughout the evening and provides it to Montreuil before leaving will receive their $5 admission back in appreciation. What a great opportunity to contribute to the development of a local area artist and to have a terrific time in the process.

Tickets are on sale at Shadowfax and Tickets Please and will also be available at the door. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show will starts at 8 p.m. A cash bar will be available.

Community – Some would call it a midlife crisis and others would simply say that it’s about time. When local area sax player and singer-songwriter, Shelley Montreuil, gave her notice to her landlord that November would be her last month living and working out of the Old Perth Shoe Factory building she knew there was no turning back.

Having spent 20-plus years writing and performing music from jazz to blues to rock and roll and Janis Joplin, Montreuil is somewhat of a fixture in the Lanark County area but she has only recently decided to follow her heart and spend more dedicated time doing what she loves most – writing and performing music. And so, the funky loft space is being traded in for a 30 foot RV, a home on wheels where she can always have her music and her web development business at her fingertips no matter where she happens to be. A gutsy move (some may use different adjectives) that can only lead to new experiences the plan is already turning itself into something wonderful.

As a goodbye to her current live-work space at the Old Perth Shoe Factory, Montreuil is staging a four-band extravaganza set for this Friday, Nov. 22.

Native rights caravan makes a stop in Perth on Nov. 27 a petition to Parliament Hill, which will be introduced in the House of Commons the following morning by MP Corneliu Chisu. “The petition draws attention to the alarming gap between government services provided to Aboriginal people and those provided to nonAboriginal people with respect to housing, water, education, child and family services, health and social programs, and other basic needs,� says Stephen Watson, one of the group’s members.

“Treaties were signed between First Nations and the Crown (Government of Canada). The struggle to have the treaty relationship respected should not be the responsibility of native people alone,� he continued. “As we are all treaty people, we too have a responsibility to ensure that our obligations and duties under the treaties are upheld by our government. Our intent is to show that non-native people not only do care about the issues the petition raises but also care

enough to go to some lengths to draw attention to them,� Watson stated.

The petition was inspired by a number of political realities facing First Nations peoples, including the fact that Ontario elementary schools receive on average $11,000 per student while schools on reserves receive on average $6,000 per student.

In addition, there were 168 contaminated water advisories reported in 127 First Nations communities in 2011, while real per capita transfers

from Ottawa to the provinces for health and social programs were up 40 per cent since 1996, while federal payments for reserve infrastructure (such as housing) were down 40 per cent over the same period.

Since the launch of their petition at a Sunday service at West Hill United in July, the Public Service Alliance of Canada, Unifor, Kairos, the Social Justice Project of the Southeast Toronto Presbytery of United Church, and the Caring Alliance, among other

groups, have endorsed and circulated the document, and thousands have signed on.

Holiday Hop Community – The streets of Almonte were a little busier the evening of Nov. 14 thanks to the Holiday Shop Hop event that took place on Mill Street.

Stores on the town’s main downtown drag stayed open past their usual 5 p.m. closing time to display their holiday window displays, left, and kick off the Christmas shopping season.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Food security must be addressed in our communities DEAR EDITOR: Thank you very much for your recent commentary on the rising cost of food in the tri-county area (“Food for thought,” Nov. 7). The editorial noted some alarming facts and figures about the rising cost of food in the area, and the number of people who live in a state of food insecurity.

I agree wholeheartedly with the advice that was provided in the commentary; namely, that we should all make donations to local food banks in an attempt to help our neighbours fight off hunger. It is the very least we can do to help out. At the same time, I urge readers to begin thinking why such conditions exist in our land of plenty. In my view, it is a real blight on our society that 9.3 per cent of people in the tri-county area believe that they cannot afford to put enough food on the table to adequately feed their family.

If 9.3 per cent of the citizens in the tri-county area came down with some sort of serious disease, I would want to make sure that they received all the treatment they required. At the same time, I would want to try to help determine the cause of the disease in order to prevent future outbreaks. The same sort of thinking should be applied to hunger in our community.

Having to use a food bank is a humiliating experience. For the sake of the children whose parents need to use this community resource, we need to address food security. And this, in my view, amounts to going beyond donating to food banks.

COMMENTARY

Zero tolerance Editorial – The holidays carry with them many customs and the Ontario Provincial Police’s (OPP) annual tradition is to keep roadways safe with their annual Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign.

The campaign is set to officially kick off this Saturday (Nov. 23) and will run straight through the holidays, wrapping up on Jan. 2. Throughout the campaign, motorists can expect to experience many festive RIDE stops throughout Lanark County and Leeds and Grenville as police officers check for impaired driving.

While it’s unfortunate traditions like these have to exist, it’s comforting to know the OPP is there enforcing the message of drive sober and arrive alive. The RIDE programs are making strides towards that. According to statistics released by the OPP, in 2011, there were 90,277 impaired driving incidents in Canada but Ontario had the lowest rate among all provinces. The OPP credits public enforcement and education, as well as motorists’ good driving efforts for keeping those numbers down.

There is still much to be done, however. There is no safe amount of alcohol to have in your body when getting behind the wheel. The best method to practice is that of zero tolerance. In the past two Festive RIDE campaigns alone (2011 and 2012), the OPP have doled out 1,208 warn range suspensions (when a driver’s blood alcohol concentration falls between 0.05 to 0.08 range). Warn range suspensions carry with them an immediate loss of licence and motorists are not allowed to drive for a minimum of three days. Over and above those suspensions, the OPP handed out 1,375 impaired driving charges over the last two campaigns.

The OPP is also asking the public to share their personal experiences, tips and thoughts on their Facebook page.

We all contribute to the safety of our roadways so make good decisions this holiday season.

Wreath of waxed leaves brought a bit of joy for Mother Lifestyle – Where Mother got the idea, no one knew.

It certainly wasn’t from Aunt Bertha on the next farm. She was far too practical to do something that took a lot of time and really didn’t amount to a hill of beans when it came to keeping food on the table. No, my sister Audrey said it was probably something she picked up when she lived in New York. Father of course, said he never “heard” of anything so crazy in his whole life!

Fall had settled in, and with the blasts of cold winter already closing in around us, but snow yet to come, Mother decided she would do something to keep the season alive as long as she could.

The lawn at the side of the house still had plenty of fallen maple leaves on the ground, and Mother thought it would give a nice touch to the table at meal times if she could just bring a bit of those rich fall colours indoors. She was going to wax the leaves, and place them on a lace doily all around the spoon holder and the sugar bowl.

A small honey pail held all the pieces of wax that came off the top of

the preserve and pickle jars once they were opened, and Mother would use it instead of buying a whole box of wax at Briscoe’s General Store. That alone should have impressed Father, but it did nothing of the sort. He still thought waxing leaves was right up there with trying to nurse geraniums through the winter once they had lost their bloom, which Mother was prone to do. But Mother paid him no heed.

It was on a Saturday that cold fall day when she sent Audrey and me out to the yard. We were to bring in only those leaves which were perfectly formed, didn’t have a break in them, or a mark on them, and were to be the largest and reddest we could find.

We shoved the fallen leaves around the ground with the toes of our boots and ever so carefully gathered those we thought were exactly what Mother had asked for.

Mother had given us a breadbasket to bring them in, and she told us over and over again to handle them very carefully, laying one on top of the other so they wouldn’t break.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

While Audrey and I were out in the yard picking through the leaves, which by that time in the fall were wet and soggy, Mother was in the kitchen melting the wax from the tops of the opened pickle and preserves jars on the Findlay Oval.

She had spread out pages of the Renfrew Mercury on the bake table, and Audrey and I were told to very, very carefully, lay out the leaves, making sure they were placed gently on the tea towel.

Mother, as carefully as she would wipe a baby’s bottom, dabbed the leaves with a tea towel. She brought the pot over to the bake table and, picking up a leaf at a time by its stem, dipped it News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Jennifer Westendorp DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-284-0124 ,ext. 27 CLASSIFIEDS/REGIONAL ROUNDUP: Fax: 613-283-5909 Judy Michaelis Email: jmichaelis@perfprint.ca Lee Ann Gilligan Email: lgilligan@perfprint.ca Jennifer Coughlin Email: jcoughlin@perfprint.ca

carefully into the melted wax. The leaf was then put onto yet another tea towel where Mother said anyone who touched it would do so at their own peril!

Father came in for his supper, glanced at the waxed leaves, shook his head, and headed for the wash basin. Not a word was mentioned about the waxed leaves over supper. But Mother rushed us through ‘redding’ up the kitchen that night and had Audrey wipe the redcheckered oilcloth twice to make sure it was good and dry. She then carefully, making a circle around the sugar bowl and spoon holder, laid out the waxed leaves. She overlapped them and Audrey and I thought we had the cleverest mother in all of Renfrew County! With the simple placing of waxed leaves, Mother had turned our plain old table into something grand.

Father complained there was no place to put the coal oil lamp. Mother settled that by pulling down the Coleman lamp that hung over the table and was used only when we had company, as the fragile wicks cost a whole dime at Briscoe’s General Store.

Of course, any wax that was left over was put aside to set, and then cut into blocks and again stored in the little honey pail to use when Mother again put down preserves and pickles.

Nothing was wasted.

Audrey and I thought the leaf display was lovely. And it stayed on the table for the whole week.

Audrey said it was the steady throbbing heat of the Findlay Oval, Father said they had just died a natural death, but by the next Saturday, the leaves had started to curl and after Emerson dropped several spoons from the spoon holder, he said accidently, the leaves started to look the worst for wear.

It was with great reluctance the next Saturday morning, what was left of the leaves was gathered up and tossed into the cook stove. Father said it was time.

After all, that night it was our turn to host the Saturday night house party, and the old pine table was needed for euchre.

A red geranium, which had seen better days, took the place of the wreath of wax leaves. It, and the waxed leaves, was Mother’s way of trying desperately • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published.

individual, when given the right help, can greatly improve their weak areas in literacy, directionality and more. Dyslexia manifests in several ways and it can be mild, moderate or severe in an individual.

Most people with dyslexia can read – up to a point. But auditory processing problems prevent them from hearing all the individual sounds in a word. So they don’t read by sounding out. Instead, they use alternative strategies: context clues (pictures and a predictable or familiar story), the shapes of words, and guessing based on the first letter or two. However, their memories can hold only a limited number of words. So these strategies will fail them by third or fourth grade. Without the right

type of help, they cannot progress any further – no matter how smart they are and how hard they try.

Programs designed to help dyslexics read and write focus first on phonemic (sound) awareness, then work on decoding syllables.

These programs are also multisensory, meaning they engage all the learner’s senses as research has shown this is the way dyslexics learn best.

Dyslexia results from a neurological difference; that is, a brain difference. In a dyslexic, language processing is not sent to the language centre found in the left side of the brain. It goes to the different places, places not set up to process language.

However, it’s never too late for someone with dyslexia to improve

their literacy skills – people in their 80s have improved with tutoring!

If you are interested in learning more about dyslexia and the solutions to dyslexia, you are invited to attend a free information session presented by Laura Mullin, Professional Tutor at Joy of Reading.

The sessions will be held: • Monday, Nov. 25, Carleton Place Public Library Board Room, 7 – 9 p.m. • Tuesday, Nov. 26, Perth Public Library, Upper Meeting Room, 6:30 – 8 p.m. • Thursday, Nov. 28, 52 Abbott Street (ontrac building), Smiths Falls (last door at back, upper board room), 7 - 9 p.m.

Community – The Knights of Columbus of Smiths Falls held a 4th Degree assembly Nov. 5 at their William St. location in town.

The 4th Degree is the highest degree of the order of Knights of Columbus. A Knight is eligible to join the 4th Degree after completing the first, second and third degrees of the order and is thereafter referred to as Sir Knight.

The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism and to encourage active Catholic citizenship, in addition to the order’s three basic tenets. They are often referred to as the ‘visible arm of the Knights,’ due to the wearing of regalia (naval chapeau, sword, cape, etc.) in parades and social events and on more sombre occasions such as funerals, whereby we honour the passing of a fellow Knight and pay our respects to the surviving family members.

Charity, unity and fraternity are the founding principles of the Knights of Columbus and our venerable founder, Father Michael J. McGivney started our order on March 29, 1882 and is in the process of being canonized at this time.

Our District 4th Degree Assembly (Archbishop J.L Wilhelm Assembly 2783 – currently with more than 100 active 4th Degree members) exists primarily because of the efforts of Knights such as: (current) Worthy Master Tony Noonan; (the late) Former Worthy Master Dick Cordick; Sir Knight Doctor JEM St. Rose; Past District Deputy Joe MacEachern; and Sir Knight George St. Denis, to name but a few. There were 56 original Charter members when the Archbishop J.L Wilhem Assembly 2783 began in 2003.

The ladies of our assembly are instrumental and remain key in the success of all community/parish Knights of Columbus charitable functions and drives in all their respective communities, in both the 4th Degree Assemblies and in the 3rd Degree Councils in our Order.

A 4th Degree Assembly consists of an elected panel of executive officers installed annually, and a Worthy Friar – for Assembly 2783, that being Father Tom MacDonald of Toledo, and fellow Sir Knights.

Retirement living made simple.

News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is taking the rare step of thanking Ontario drivers ahead of their 2013 Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign for not driving impaired over the holidays and for helping them get impaired drivers off our roads.

The reason for the early thank you is because the OPP knows that the vast majority of drivers do understand that enforcement is only part of the solution and that driving sober is the single most important factor in ending the numerous impaired driving related deaths that occur on Ontario roads every year. The OPP considers these drivers to be among their most dedicated road safety partners because they share the responsibility of saving lives on our roads through responsible driving behaviour.

The campaign runs from Nov. 23 to Jan. 2. According to the OPP, the public can expect to see as many OPP Festive RIDE stops as ever during this year’s campaign, in order to deal with the relatively small number of drivers who choose to get an impaired driving charge over the simpler and less costly solution of not getting behind the wheel after consuming alcohol. Unfortunately, the irresponsible behav-

iour of one driver can negatively affect the lives of many. “I am calling on all road users to help us keep everyone safe over the holidays. Never allow yourself to drink and drive, never allow someone you suspect is impaired by alcohol or drugs to drive and if you are out on the road and suspect that a driver is impaired, call 9-1-1. I would like to thank in advance the hundreds of thousands of drivers we know we can count on to take these simple but important measures to help us get everyone through the holiday safely,� said Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander, OPP Highway Safety Division. “Our most recent national statistics tell us that there were 90,277 impaired driving incidents in Canada in 2011 and I am proud to say that Ontario had one of the lowest impaired driving rates among all of the provinces that year. We attribute this to a combination of targeted police enforcement and education efforts by all safety partners, combined with the motoring public’s generally favourable compliance with impaired driving laws, their awareness of the risks and their willingness to be a part of the solution,� said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial

Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support.

The OPP is also reminding drivers that there is no safe amount of alcohol consumption when driving. This is evident every year in the number of Warn Range Suspensions the OPP issues to drivers whose Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) falls within the 0.05 to 0.08 range.

Over the last two Festive RIDE campaigns (2011 and 2012), OPP officers issued a total of 1,208 Warn Range Suspensions over and above the 1,375 impaired driving charges they laid throughout the province.

Those who are issued a Warn Range Suspension immediately lose their licence at the roadside and are not allowed to drive from that point on for a minimum of three days.

The OPP is asking the public to join in on the conversation on Facebook during the campaign.

Arts – For the many gifted volunteers involved in community theatre across Ontario, this is an exciting time of year.

Every November, actors, directors, costume and set designers, lighting technicians and stage crews come together for the Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Play Festival, a feast of great entertainment, and a celebration of excellence in community theatre. This year the festival, which is a professionally adjudicated competition, was hosted by Theatre Night in Merrickville, where groups from Merrickville, Peterborough, Prince Edward County, Lindsay, Ottawa, Perth, and the Bay of Quinte gathered to perform one-act plays for capacity audiences. And once again, Perth’s own Studio Theatre was a standout.

The Studio Theatre’s entry this year was Norm Foster’s comedy The Death of Me, and a rousing standing ovation was only the first of many recognitions it received. At the festival awards banquet, The Death of Me was nominated for Best Costumes, Best Production, and Best Visual Production. Then the accolades really began: First, the show’s cast of Tracy Noonan, Lucas Tennant, Patti Greer and Brian Tannenbaum won the acting award for Best Ensemble. Next, Barb Guthrie, a first-time director, won the Best Director trophy, a win that was especially sweet because although there is an individual First Time Director award, Guthrie was acknowledged to be the Best Director overall.

The icing on the cake was the Studio Theatre’s win in perhaps the most prestigious category of all, the People’s Choice Award. The Death of Me was voted Best Production, as determined by a poll of audience members who had seen all seven plays. It was a thrilling conclusion to this year’s festival, and a recognition of the high quality achieved by the Studio Theatre’s actors, directors and stage technicians.

Adjudicator Carolee Mason, the noted theatre educator, director, and choreographer for whom PDCI’s Mason Theatre is named, along with her husband Jeff, shared a wealth of advice and insights with the companies, and praised their professionalism. As an audience member, you couldn’t help feeling a renewed respect for community theatre, and for the many volunteers who work tirelessly to bring theatre to local stages.

Perth is blessed with one of the finest community theatres in the province. If you haven’t yet been to a Studio Theatre production, make time to come out and see a play. It’s a theatre experience you’ll enjoy, and one we can all be proud of.

Kemptville woman praises local Canadian Cancer Society transportation program

By GENA GIBSON For the Canadian Cancer Society, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit

Community – When Kemptville resident Rebecca Dukes received a cancer diagnosis in August, she knew who to call to support her on her journey through treatment.

Dukes turned to the Canadian Cancer Society and its transportation program immediately, as she made a plan with doctors for chemotherapy and radiation.

The Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the organization covers the area from Gananoque to Cardinal, as well as Lanark County and everywhere in between, and Dukes already had experience with its many volunteer drivers.

She was first diagnosed with cancer in 2005, and looked into the transportation program. After using the services during those treatments, she knew how it worked and how important it was.

“They’re lifesavers, by golly,” she stressed. “Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to make it to 95 per cent of my appointments.”

Dukes is still undergoing treatments, with a second round of chemotherapy following a round of chemo once every three weeks and then 15 sessions of radiation, five days a week for three weeks. She said she has had 10-12 different drivers, and “they’ve all been wonderful.”

“They’re great, caring people,”

she added. “They’re awesome conversationalists.”

Dukes said she has had drivers from Kemptville, Prescott, Smiths Falls and the surrounding areas pick her up in Kemptville and take her to the General site of the Ottawa Hospital, or the Queensway-Carleton Hospital, for treatments and appointments.

With trips running about an hour each way, she said, she gets to know the drivers and they get to know her.

She said she would definitely recommend the program to other people undergoing cancer treatments.

“If people don’t get to their appointments, they’re probably not going to make it,’ she pointed out.

“They (the drivers) do it out of the goodness of their hearts.”

She admitted that it hasn’t been fun, dealing with the reality of a second diagnosis of cancer – this time, lung cancer. She said the drivers are always cheerful, lifting her spirits despite the circumstances.

“It’s a wonderful service and I thank God for it.”

Volunteer drivers with the Canadian Cancer Society receive mileage pay for their trips to hospitals in Ottawa, Kingston and occasionally further afield. Last year, the transportation program filled 3,560 requests, with drivers covering 299,518 kilometres to take 339 local clients to their appointments.

The program in the tri-county

unit cost more than $84,200, as the average cost to take one patient to a round-trip appointment is $60 due to the distances that clients need to travel compared to those in other parts of Ontario.

For that reason, the local Canadian Cancer Society has joined with others across Ontario to once again pro-

a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.

Connected to your community

Smiths Falls hosts prestigious Dominion Tankard in just over two months

By HIT Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ROLL

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Dominion Tankard gets under way in just over two months, at the new Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre (Arena). Mark your calendars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jan. 27 to Feb. 2 inclusive.

An event of this magnitude is a major undertaking that requires a significant committee structure.

Agnes McVeety along with Paul Howard are cochairing the 2014 Dominion Tankard Host Committee with the intention of making the Ontario Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curling Championship a â&#x20AC;&#x153;roaring successâ&#x20AC;?.

In addition to the cochairs we have a treasurer, administrator, accounting, facilities, logistics/ volunteers, operations,

ice, social-entertainment and food and sponsorship/ marketing subcommittees.

Most of these committees are meeting regularly to fine tune their approach and ensure the delivery of a memorable Tankard.

The Masters curling event from Abbotsford, B.C. at the first of the month, found the Glenn Howard rink to be in good form. They won this first of the four grand slam events of the season. The level of play was exceptional which augurs well for their defence of the Ontario title here in Smiths Falls in January.

The Howard/Martin final game was like a chess match with lots of strategy and great shots. The Howard rink has been in four events so far this season

and has made it to the finals three times.

The next Grand Slam event takes place this weekend in Medicine Hat, Alta. If a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rink wins all four events of the Grand Slam they will receive $1 million.

On the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side there are two events and if one rink wins both they will win $100,000.

Rachel Homan of Ottawa won the first event.

Most of the top rinks from around the world participate in the Grand Slams.

Entertainment will be

provided each evening of the Tankard from 9 to 12 in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lockmaster Houseâ&#x20AC;? in the Upper Hall of the arena. Most of the entertainment will be musical with a wide variety from jazz, Celtic

to rock and pop.

There will be a variety show one night. Entertainers are coming from across our region.

Before each draw, the National Anthem will be played. Harold Frizell (613-283-5507) our entertainment director is looking for groups or individuals to perform O Canada. Several groups including SFCDI have stepped forward . If you or your organization are interested, please contact Harold. More information on specific performers will be provided

as we get closer to the event.

The ticket package order forms are available online at www.thedominiontankard2014.ca, at the arena and curling clubs in the readership area. Any one of the packages would make a great Christmas gift and with only 41 days to Christmas, something to consider for the curling fans in your life.

Single draw tickets are now available. There will be 11 draws in the round robin portion of the event. Each draw

which consists of five games of 10 ends will take 2.5 to three hours to complete. Single draw tickets will cost $15 during the round robin for general admission and $20 for Premium seating; but will escalate steadily throughout the playoffs reaching $35 and $40 respectively for the Championship game.

Mary Vandenhoff receives Ontario Land Trust Alliance Vision Award Community – Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy’s (MMLTC) own Mary Vandenhoff was recently honoured by the Ontario Land Trust Alliance (OLTA) at their annual conference when she received their 2013 Vision Award for Volunteers in recognition of her tireless and innovative leadership in the land trust movement.

The MMLTC is very proud of Van-

denhoff and delighted to see her receive this prestigious award. Ten years ago none of us would have believed how far we would come in such a short period of time nor that a small organization, located in a relatively remote and nonaffluent part of the province, would have one of our own so recognized.

As Vandenhoff stated in her acceptance response, MMLTC is a working

board where each volunteer director is expected to carry the work forward.

However, Vandenhoff recognized from the beginning that the task is so great that even if each director could devote full time to the work, our goals would always remain beyond our grasp. She helped forge partnerships in the community with like-minded groups and rallied community members to join us. This is never an easy task but her own demonstration of a volunteer extraordinaire makes the path much easier. Volunteers are the life-blood of our organization.

Perhaps the key to Vandnhoff’s success and what inspires so many to follow

her example is her unshakable belief in the importance of helping land owners to protect their wonderful wilderness properties so that they will be forever there for the benefit of wildlife and to meet the needs of our children for eons of time. Each time she sees the happiness on the face of a child who visits one of the protected properties, or sees the power of nature reach deep into our inner core, she comes away refreshed and reinvigorated to continue on.

Many of us are responding to her leadership and are discovering for ourselves that there are few things in life that we can devote our time to that will

have such wonderful results on so many levels, lasting far beyond our own lifetime – a legacy that only grows more important as the decades pass.

As Vandenhoff so elegantly stated, it is her dream that many will discover for themselves how personally satisfying it is to be part of such an important cause.

We are proud of her and of all our volunteers and will continue to take pleasure in seeing many others participate with their time, and yes with their financial support, to make this glorious dream a reality.

Fifty years later mystery surrounds JFK’s assassination

Stunning news I was only 11 at the time but I clearly remember wandering around the school yard during recess, stunned by what I had just heard. I wasn’t alone!

All of the older students and teachers were doing the same thing. Some teachers and a number of kids were in tears.

People today have become so desensitized to violence that it may seem odd to consider the attitude and the feelings we had in 1963. At that time Kennedy was a hero to North Americans. The Cold War had its terrifying moments. The worst was in the fall of 1962. US intelligence discovered the USSR had deployed missile launchers on the island nation of Cuba.

For a few tense days in October the world stood on the brink of nuclear war. Never before or since has such a scenario occurred. In effect the young American president went toe-to-toe with Nikita Khrushchev, the leader of the Soviet Union. It was Khrushchev who blinked!

With the benefit of information which wasn’t available at the time, we now know Kennedy’s handling of the crisis wasn’t as perfect as we thought. Neither was his personal life of course.

But at that time most people believed JFK’s calm approach had saved the world. Little wonder he was put on a pedestal!

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

The ongoing, positive publicity surrounding Kennedy, his glamorous wife Jacqueline and their two young children Caroline and John Jr. made them the best-known family on the planet.

In the wake of the assassination we were devastated by the images of the president’s widow, still wearing her bloodstained dress, which flickered across our TV screens.

I’ve always been a newshound. Coming from a newspaper family that isn’t surprising, I suppose.

But on the terrible weekend following JFK’s slaying my family and I were glued to the television, watching continually as the drama unfolded.

Early on that Sunday afternoon, we were watching the lead-up to a Canadian Football League playoff game between Ottawa Rough Riders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Suddenly the channel cut away to show American TV coverage of alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald’s transfer from the Dallas Police Station to the more secure county jail.

Oswald never made it. Nightclub owner Jack Ruby stepped out of the crowd and shot him with a pistol. Oswald was rushed to hospital where he died of his wounds.

At that moment it seemed to me the world had descended into madness. I had never before seen such a thing!

On Monday, Nov. 25, 1963 television sets were in place in every classroom in our school so students and teachers could watch Kennedy’s state funeral. Like our American neighbours, Canadians joined in mourning the loss of the youngest president in US history. Kennedy was just 46.

I won’t go into great detail because no American president, with the possible exception of Franklin D. Roosevelt, has had so much written about them.

The number of books on JFK’s assassination alone is staggering.

His slaying was not unprecedented of course.

Three earlier American presidents were also felled by assassin’s bullets. Abraham Lincoln in 1865, James Garfield in 1881 and William McKinley in 1901.

At least two major things separate Kennedy’s assassination from the others. He died at a time when the mass media was just coming of age due to the increasing impact of television. As a result the Kennedy assassination was arguably the biggest news story of the 20th century. Because it happened in modern times it is also THE most analyzed crime in history.

short on substance.

But like so many other interested people I have a hard time believing the official line that just one individual was involved in the assassination and its aftermath.

In September 1964 the Warren Commission, appointed to investigate the assassination, released an 889-page report. Their conclusion was that Oswald, acting alone, shot Kennedy and seriously wounded Texas Governor John Connally who was seated ahead of the president. It is often forgotten that Oswald is also alleged to have shot and killed veteran Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit who attempted to stop a man for questioning some 45 minutes after the assassination.

The Warren Commission ruled that Ruby, seeking revenge for JFK’s murder, was the only person involved in the fatal shooting of Oswald two days later.

Based on the totality of evidence I remain skeptical. The Warren package is just too neat and tidy. And Oswald’s slaying was far too convenient all around. If you are at all familiar with the case then you will know there are still a lot of unconnected dots in this picture.

My hope is the veil of secrecy which continues to cloak details of Kennedy’s assassination will eventually be lifted and the whole truth will be revealed in my lifetime.

Fifty years after the fact JFK’s murder is just as sad and the mystery which surrounds his untimely death is just as intriguing!

Share your memories of JFK’s assassination with Jeff. He can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Conspiracy theories As the headline on this column notes it is the uncertainty which continues to surround his murder that sets Kennedy’s death apart. Fifty years later conspiracy theories continue to abound.

The latest claim is set out in a TV documentary aired at the beginning of this month. The Canadian-Australia co-production claims one of Kennedy’s Secret Service security detail accidentally fired the fatal head shot. The film, based on one of the many books about the incident, says an inexperienced agent (he died two years ago) pulled a handgun after hearing the first shots. The writer alleges the man inadvertently pulled the trigger and a bullet struck Kennedy who was riding in the vehicle ahead.

The evidence presented is interesting. Especially considering that the Secret Service agents involved have publicly admitted their security detail was very low on experienced officers during the fateful tour of Texas which ended so tragically in Dealey Plaza, Dallas.

As a career journalist with an intense interest in the case I have read countless articles and watched endless documentaries outlining conspiracy theories. Most are long on sensationalism and THE EMC - 23 - Thursday, November 21, 2013

Lifestyle – Where were you on Friday, Nov. 22, 1963?

Like me, anyone who was alive on that fall afternoon half a century ago is almost sure to remember exactly where they were and what they were doing. Events that capture the attention of everyone in the world are rare. And certainly the tragedy that unfolded on the streets of Dallas, Texas 50 years ago tomorrow qualifies as “world shaking.” The President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was killed by gunfire as he rode in a motorcade through the streets of the southern US city.

Few events in modern times can replicate the sense of horror and loss that gripped North America and much of the globe in the wake of JFK’s murder. One year earlier Kennedy was credited with saving the world from nuclear annihilation during what is known as the “Cuban Missile Crisis.” His sudden, violent death was so shocking.

Anyone old enough to appreciate the depth of the tragedy that occurred in Dallas wondered what might happen next? JFK’s assassination left us feeling sad, scared and vulnerable!

In my lifetime there is only one other calamity that prompted feelings approaching how I felt on Nov. 22, 1963. That occurred nearly 38 years later, on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. I was much older of course. But the terrorist attacks on the US, including the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, sparked the same sense of shock and fear I felt in the aftermath of Kennedy’s slaying. The images from both events are forever seared into my memory!

In the lead-up to the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination the details from those shocking times have been reprised in books, newspaper and magazine stories as well as in a made for television movie and numerous TV and radio documentaries.

The black and white footage from that time (few people had colour TV in those days) is just as stark and troubling now as it was then.

Watching an emotional Walter Cronkite, the late, great anchor of CBS Television News, struggle to announce that JFK had died of his wounds, still brings a lump to my throat. One of the best programs I saw last week was a two-night, fourhour documentary, part of the always impressive ‘American Experience’ series on PBS. I thought I knew a lot about JFK but I learned much more during that excellent program.

I began this column by asking where people were on that tragic day. Interestingly tomorrow’s 50th anniversary also falls on a Friday which, somehow, makes it even more poignant.

For me the memory is as fresh as if it happened yesterday. It was early afternoon and I was in the Grade 6 classroom at Stittsville Union Public School. The door suddenly opened and our principal, the late Mrs. Ida Alexander, strode in wearing a grim look. She told us she had heard on the radio that President Kennedy had been shot and killed.

Tolkien’s epic The Hobbit comes to Perth live onstage Nov. 28, 29 Arts – On Nov. 28 and 29, be prepared for a marauding dragon, 12 dwarves, a wizard, several bow-and-arrow-laden elves, trolls, goblins, spiders, and an unsuspecting hobbit to come to town.

The Perth Academy of Musical Theatre is extremely proud to present J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous epic The Hobbit, which will be coming to life onstage in the gorgeous sanctuary of St. Paul’s United Church in Perth.

Unlike the recent film versions of the show which present the story as a trilogy, this adaptation, penned

by Canadian playwright Kim Selody, presents the show in its entirety, and is very true to Tolkien’s original. Compelling characters, gorgeous music, exciting swordplay and beautiful set pieces make this a presentation not to be missed!

Bilbo Baggins lives a quiet, peaceful life in his comfortable hole at Bag End. Bilbo lives in a hole because he is a hobbit – one of a race of

small, plump people about half the size of humans, with furry toes and a great love of good food and drink. Bilbo is quite content at Bag End, near the bustling hobbit village of Hobbiton, but one day his comfort is shattered by the arrival of the old wizard Gandalf, who persuades Bilbo to set out on an adventure with a group of thirteen militant dwarves.

The dwarves are embarking on a great quest to reclaim their treasure from the marauding dragon Smaug, and Bilbo is to act as their “burglar.” The dwarves are very skeptical about Gandalf’s choice for a burglar, and Bilbo is terrified to leave his comfortable life to seek adventure.

But Gandalf assures both Bilbo and the dwarves that there is more to the little hobbit than meets the eye.

After the group sets out, they are captured by hungry trolls, spiders, goblins, and wood elves, from which the adventurers, with the help

of their new burglar, and the magic ring that he secures from an encounter with the creature Gollum, escape successfully.

However, Bilbo’s encounter with the sly dragon Smaug is yet to be determined, as the adventure continues through Smaug’s wrath at Bilbo’s intrusion, and an epic battle of fie armies for control of the treasure of the Lonely Mountain.

The beautiful sanctuary of St. Paul’s Church provides an exciting setting for this production with its cathedral ceilings, balcony, and many nooks and crannies from which various mysterious creatures appear. The acoustics for the beautiful singing by the actors are also excellent.

The Hobbit will be presented by a group of 18 talented young actors, ranging in age from seven through 16, several of which come from as far away as Ottawa and Kingston, to participate in this fantastic production. Audience

members will be enchanted and amazed at the talent of these young performers, as they take us on an “unexpected journey” through the enchanted lands of Middle Earth.

The Hobbit will take place

at St. Paul’s United Church in Perth (25 Gore Street West) on Thursday, Nov. 28 and Friday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m.

The show is suitable for all ages, so do bring the whole family along for an exciting night! Tickets are $12 each,

and are available through Tickets Please (Jo’s Clothes in Perth – 613-485-6434 – www.ticketsplease.ca) or at the door.

Enjoying one fall weekend of talented performers

her musical skills blossomed. When the relationship ended, she headed to Halifax and through hosting an open mic night became well known and CBC helped with her first, self-titled album. Her verbal dexterity in crafting her songs about snippets of life, whether her own or stories of others help ease those listening into that place where you’re, as if, recollecting with a family friend.

There’s a tranquillity, an accepting story worth repeating, where she intelligently captures past historical culture, colours, emotions and dreams and delivers through her deep, haunting voice what her soulful eye envisions. I was surprised and delighted to hear she had performed as Marilla in Anne of Green Gables for two seasons to which I could see in my minds-eye her nailing that part, one I’d previously seen done by the late, great Barbara Hamilton, back in the day, in the same locale.

The recording business is not a kind one. As a naive public we see the successes but there are far more stories of musicians having been kicked and taken advantage of. Smith’s wellreceived growth saw her winning and being nominated for many musical awards, playing festivals and distant places desiring her attendance. I saw her first live with a full band at the Tulip Festival in Ottawa and couldn’t wait to hear and see more of this up and coming talent. Unfortunately the business behind the scenes took its toll as well as some challenging health issues.

Luckily, I’m happy to report Smith is definitely back and her latest new CD Everything is Moving, produced

This album blends traditional tunes with several of her own timeless creations to connect you to this talented, timeless soul. At the Studio Theatre she was very ably backed by local Jamie Campbell on guitar (previously an acoustic player for Roch Voisine in his prime) and Ken Hall on keyboards of Kingston.

The evening was made complete by catching the last few tunes at the Golden Arrow Pub by Long Sault Trio who perform self-written and more traditional tunes. Linda Grenier, Victor Maltby and Dave Tilson have created and honed a sweet sound.

Catch them where you can.

Sunday evening saw me head to Carleton Place Arena for the fifth annual Country Harvest Music Show, a wonderful evening of good ol’

country music by some local greats; originated by Bob White and Andy Bowes. I was especially looking forward to their planned tribute to the late Ray Donaldson who we used to see on pedal steel in the house band.

the price of admission, featuring guitar picker Brad Scott, Andy Bowes (of Bowes Bros) on bass; on fiddle, the master, Wade Foster, on pedal steel, Brian Ostrom, and Mark Lemieux keeping them in line on drums.

With Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame inductee; perennial emcee Charlie Kitts in control, the band kicked off each set with a few tunes to get us all in the mood.

There was much mention of the musical families we are blessed with in the area and a member of one of them, Barry Munro’s son, Brad Munro, was the first up and nailed several tunes, old and new. From another musical family, Cheryl Adrain-Dermann (Harry Adrain being her proud father) took the show onward, her lovely vocals adding some nice spark, especially her version of ‘Satin Sheets’ which apparently Ray Donaldson always got her to sing and to whom she dedicated it. She really hit her stride though with her rendition of the Righteous Brothers’ classic tune, ‘Unchained Melody’ (music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret).

Heading up the second set, Brian Ostrom nailed ‘Steel Guitar Rag’ in honour of Ray and Wade Foster dedicated a new song he’d recently written to Ray, entitled ‘The Band of the Angels,’ that understandably brought the audience to their feet.

Andy Bowes, from yet another local musical family – The Bowes Brothers – told a few stories of Ray. See MUSIC page 27

Lifestyle – It took a couple of evenings witnessing talented performers in our neck of the woods to help get me through our first truly rainy, damp, fall weekend of the year. We’ve been revelling in the extended warm, sunny, above normal temperature days we’ve had to enjoy the uniqueness many parts of the world are envious of: the changing of seasons and the remarkable colours fall shares with us. It was through a visiting friend’s eyes from Columbia where they don’t get a change of season that I was reminded just how lucky we are to be able to witness the diverse palate of colours the changing leaves bring to us. It also reminds us of the work necessitated in raking and bagging but, usually the colours help ease these necessary seasonal tasks.

I’ve written before about Maritime singer/songwriter Laura Smith’s impact on the audience this past summer at Stewart Park Festival, how they rose in unison to offer her a standing ovation following her set. Much deserved. I’ve known of her music for many years, probably being first turned on to her unique voice along with so many others by Peter Gzowski’s championing her on CBC’s Morningside. Her adaptation of the traditional Scottish folk song ‘My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean’, entitled ‘My Bonny’ won her a continually growing following and prominence in the Canadian music scene.

Born and raised in London, ON, she was a relatively late bloomer musically, teaching herself first piano and later guitar. She claims her writing was encouraged by Governor General Award-winning poet and then writerin-residence at Western University, Margaret Avison. She played locally and then moved to Toronto where she gigged for nine years before moving to Cape Breton with her then beau, a lighthouse keeper. As she says, “this dramatic change of environment, with the rugged landscape, shifting ocean, moon filled nights and welcoming community made her feel she had arrived home.”

She played local ceilidhs with her fiddle playing lighthouse keeper and

SMITHS FALLS

REGIONAL NEWS MUSIC

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY!

ber of yet another one of the great local musical families, Barry Brown of the Family Brown clan. Barry sang several tunes he’d written through the years that were performed by Family Brown, including their first recorded song ‘RR # 2’. Barry’s grandparents had a farm they spent lots of time visiting over the years near Wilton, ON and he wrote this song in 1972 remembering those times. Barry went on to say the family has been enjoying hosting an annual benefit concert in that area for many years to raise funds for the upkeep of the local cemetery, where their grandparents are buried. Topping off the show was Barry inviting his baby sister, Tracey Brown, to join him onstage to sing a couple.

Her version of Dolly Parton’s ‘Coat of Many Colours’ left many a tear. The packed house left satisfied.

Now back to raking up the ‘beauty.’

From page 25

The one that hit home with the essence of Ray, for me, was Bowes describing how Ray had been in a vehicle with himself and Kenny Jackson, driven by a local politician, on their way to play the Good Roads Convention at the Royal York, in good ol’ Toronto. In Ray’s inevitable way, he got ragging on the politician about the Lanark Village water issue and, as Andy described, “Ray took his first breath around Belleville” ... a story that brought down the house.

Andy ended his touching ‘roast’ with one of Ray’s favourites ‘Kansas City’. In a rare solo appearance, Rod Bowes, from that same musical family heritage, took to the stage with a few tunes and the now expected quips about his brothers and a story or two about our departed Ray. The 20-plus members of the Donaldson family in attendance were touched by the tributes. I spoke to pedal steel player, Brian Ostrom, following the event and he told me of Ray’s oft repeated desire to find a way to teach youth the pedal steel so it would be carried on locally.

That would be Ray, the visionary.

The evening closed with a short set by Canadian and Ottawa Valley Country Hall of Fame member and mem-

Vintage cast offers up memorable feel-good film MOVIE: Last Vegas STARRING: Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline, and Mary Steenburgen DIRECTOR: Jon Turteltaub RATING: PG Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Every once in a while thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slow weekend at the box office where nothing opens. When that happens I take advantage by seeing a film I missed. This time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Last Vegas, and I have to say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad it was a slow weekend.

Billy (Michael Douglas), Paddy (Robert De Niro), Archie (Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Kevin Kline) have been friends for almost 60 years. These days Sam spends his time in Florida with his wife wondering who among them is next to die. Archie had a mild stroke, and his over protective son has had him on what amounts to house arrest ever since. Paddy spends his days in his bathrobe mourning the death of his wife. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Billy. Billy is about to get married to a woman half his age.

In light of the pending nuptials the four decide they need to do it

My Take MARK HASKINS

up right. They all meet up in Las Vegas for a bachelor weekend to end all bachelor weekends. These guys have a lot of history and there are some unresolved issues, but none of that stops them from taking full advantage of everything life and Vegas has to offer. In the end it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how old you are, or who did what to whom. All that matters is that your friends are there for you.

On the surface the premise for Last Vegas, four guys pushing 70 trying to recapture their glory days, is ludicrous. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not ludicrous, in fact itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful. This is one of those films that hits all the right notes at all the right times. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartwarming, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s romantic, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring. This is how you live

life. This is what being friends is all about. Last Vegas is how you make a feel-good film.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing I really need to say about Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman or Kevin Kline. I could watch any one of these guys in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst film and they would still be worth seeing. Having all four together in the same film is a real treat. These guys make it look easy. Their chemistry together is nothing short of magic. They are so smooth and so quick with each other it is a joy to watch.

Mary Steenburgen plays Diana a former tax attorney-turned-Vegas lounge singer. Diana grabs the attention of the boys, and manages to put a wrinkle in Billyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding plans. Mary Steenburgen also garbs the attention of the audience.

She is stunning. She lights up the screen, and is the perfect fifth for this already perfect foursome.

I really liked Last Vegas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect cast in the perfect feelgood movie.

Mudds present old story with a new twist

By LAUREL TYE

Arts – The Christmas spirit has descended on Carleton Place and can be seen and heard in the Mississippi Mudds current performance, Humbug!

The show is loosely based on the popular story, A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens. This panto/drama has most of the ingredients of a traditional English panto along with several twists and turns, which will certainly be a surprise.

As artistic director of Humbug, I was keen to retain the redemption story theme of a pitiable, gruff miser who opens his heart once he has faced his past, present and possible future. To do this all in one night might be daunting

for any of us. That Scrooge can alter his dismal future by changing his ways is a wonderful theme of hope, and sees Scrooge choosing compassion over greed.

However, being a panto, there was the freedom to twist parts of the story in unexpected ways, using improbable music for a Christmas tale, and introducing unlikely characters into the story. Gender bending is quite evident. A little bit of political humour will touch the funny bone of the adults while the sillier antics of a few characters will delight the young. The town of Carleton Place itself is well represented throughout the show in such a way that strangers to the town will be more familiar with the places and people after seeing the show.

The cast and crew have been happily rehearsing this unusual panto and we want to share our Christmas Cheer with you. We’re looking forward to seeing you there, and as Tiny Tim would exclaim, “God bless us every one.”

Performances will be at the Carleton Place Town Hall.

Evening performances, at 7:30 p.m., are Friday, Nov. 29; Saturday, Nov. 30; Friday, Dec. 6; and Saturday, Dec. 7.

Matinee performances, at 2 p.m., are Sunday, Dec. 1 and Saturday, Dec. 7. Evening performances, $20. Matinees, $15. Tickets will be sold at the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce, 132 Coleman Street, 613-2571976.

Unions bring ‘right-towork’ battle to Perth

By DESMOND DEVOY

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Business – Some of the opening salvos in the anticipated spring 2014 provincial election were fired in Perth last week, with a battle between the Progressive Conservatives and organized labour expected to be front and centre.

On Thursday, Nov. 14, the local branch of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) had a screening of a documentary they had funded entitled “Made In The USA: Tim Hudak’s Plan to Cut Your Wages” in the council chambers of Perth town hall.

David Lundy, OPSEU’s regional vice president, explained that his union was showing the film “to let people know the effects of what right to work legislation would mean for Ontario.”

In June of 2012, Hudak’s Tories unveiled a white paper on provincial labour laws.

“This is one of the most severe and direct challenges to organized labour in Canada,” Lundy alleged. “It was a direct attack on labour.”

Lundy’s speaking notes for the evening line out more specifically what has labour groups up in arms, that of allowing “workers to enjoy the benefits of working in a unionized workplace without having to pay the union dues that make those benefits possible. The whole purpose of it is to weaken unions.”

On this point, however, Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier, disagrees that this is what his party wants to do at all.

“That’s not what the white paper says, and that’s not what my private member’s bill said,” said the former labour critic for his party, during a telephone interview from his Queen’s Park office on Monday, Nov.

18. Allowing a worker to join a company, and enjoy the coverage afforded by a collectively bargained contract, without having to pay dues to the union, is “certainly not what I proposed in my bill. There certainly is a level of undue or unwarranted partisanship at play here. There are people that work in the labour movement who don’t like conservatives. (They) don’t let details and facts get in the way of hyper-partisanship.”

What the proposed Tory legislation would do, according to Hillier, is allow a worker to opt out of joining a union, and would allow that worker to negotiate with management by his or herself. However, what it does not do, according to Hillier, is allow a worker to opt out of joining the union – and avoid paying dues – and still be covered by the collective agreement. It’s all or nothing.

Even the union speaking notes admit that Hudak “does not use the term ‘right to work.’

He talks instead about ‘flexibility’ and ‘worker choice.’”

“I don’t think he has used that language,” said Hillier of Hudak and the “right to work” term.

But, regardless of what it is called, labour laws are shaping up to be one of the major battlegrounds for the anticipated election. Earlier this month, the Toronto Star reported on a leaked document that outlined Hudak’s campaign schedule, had the minority Liberal government fallen last May on the budget vote.

Changing Ontario’s labour laws was front and centre of his daily agenda, as was a visit to a nonunion factory.

“They (the Tories) are standing strong on right-to-work,” said Chris Cormier, who sits on OPSEU’s executive board.

Hillier accuses unions of ‘hyper-partisanship’ in labour law debate

Union transparency The battle between the Conservatives and the unions is also happening at the federal level. At their recent policy convention in Calgary, the federal party voted in favour of similar right-to-work legislation, including proposals to open up unions’ books to the public.

“It’s interesting to see the Conservatives say that the unions need to be regulated, but they want to deregulate everything else,” said Cormier. With his union at least, “the information is there.

It is public. You, as a union member, can get information down to $20 on what we spend on.”

Hillier, however, welcomed the move by his federal cousins. He equated it to provincial political parties, which are governed by the Ontario Election Act, or publicly traded companies, which are also regulated.

“Generally, we are all the same in that regard to how we conduct ourselves.

Unions are not like that. With unions, we see a huge latitude. Some unions willingly provide very detailed financial disclosures to their members. But they are not obligated to.”

Hillier pointed to his own former union, the International Brotherhood of Best Western Parkside Inn & Spa Electrical Workers – where, he charged, 82 Peter Street, Perth, ON he has to access the American branch of the union’s web site in order to find out Saturday Nov. 23rd financial information about the Ottawaarea local.

DAROU

A voice from the past, however, is imploring both unions and the Progressive Conservatives to come together and at least talk out their differences.

Earlier this month, former P.C. Premier Bill Davis, according to Martin Regg Cohn’s column in the Toronto Star, delivered a speech in which Davis recalled that “he sat down with labour leaders

regularly,” during his 1971-85 tenure, “unlike today’s union-bashing Tories,” wrote Cohn.

When it comes to talking it out with unions, “I do it all the time,” said Hillier.

“I have had some very thoughtful and worthwhile conversations with them… generally speaking, we come to an agreement on things. (But) their union leadership… there are often other motivating factors than accuracy.”

R0012428256_1121

Goin’ Down the Road The documentary’s film crew went south to places like Michigan – which became the newest right-to-work state in 2012 – to Ohio, to South Carolina, which has been right-to-work since 1954.

“The governor down there, Nikki Haley, is rabidly anti-union,” said Lundy.

“It is virtually union-free” with less than five per cent of workers in the state belonging to a trade union.

The Republican leader boasts that “it is a great place to bring your business.”

But according to Lundy, South Carolina also boasts some of the lowest high school graduation rates, lowest wages, highest unemployment, highest crime, and highest infant mortality rates in America.

“This is what Tim Hudak wants for Ontario,” Lundy said, who added that U.S. President Barack Obama opposes right-to-work legislation – even though 11 U.S. states brought such legislation in last year – calling it “right-to-work for less,” which, in South Carolina, means a state minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. By comparison, one of the few unionized sectors in the state, the Port of Charleston, sees longshoremen earn about $32 an hour.

“There is a little bit of light starting to shine on this right-to-work,” said Cormier, pointing to a report by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), where “they don’t suggest we imple-

said Lundy. “Voting, it works.”

R0012394079_1107

“He (Hudak) will run an election platform on this… (and) we have a lot to do to get people to understand because it is complicated. This isn’t just about unionized jobs.”

When asked about whether changes to Ontario’s labour laws would be part of any upcoming campaign, Hillier was coy.

“I can’t really comment on that,” said Hillier, though he noted that it may come up for discussion at his party’s caucus meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 19.

provide its members with details down to $20, the proposed federal legislation – which only deals with federally regulated national unions – would set the threshold for disclosure at $5,000.

One thing that the union may be spending money on is helping get leftwing candidates elected to area councils, with $1,500 grants available for OPSEU members seeking local elected office.

Lundy also pointed to a recent Ohio court ruling that found right-to-work legislation to be unconstitutional.

Hillier had his own study to point to, one done by the Pacific Institute in Oakland, California, which looks at right-towork states and found that “they are all out-performing the other states.”

Mill Street, McLean Boulevard top road repair list

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mill Street will be seeing a lot of roadwork next year, with McLean Boulevard slated for renewal in 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is recommended that the municipality proceed with the reconstruction of Mill Street in 2014, due to its scoring and readiness status,â&#x20AC;? wrote Grant Machan, director of environmental services, in a report to council during the Tuesday, Nov. 12 committee-of-the-whole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This project is construction-ready with final drawings and provincial approvals in place.â&#x20AC;?

McLean Boulevard was also given the green light for repairs a year later.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;After evaluating the balance of the pending reconstruction projects and recent public input, McLean Boulevard is recommended for reconstruction in 2015,â&#x20AC;? wrote Machan. Earlier in the report, he had written that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;public input,â&#x20AC;? was, more specifically, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to address concerns by the residents of McLean Boulevard due to issues with coloured drinking water.â&#x20AC;?

However, during the meeting, Mayor John Fenik pointed out that the multiyear schedule for road redevelopment was not set in stone, so to speak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If a sinkhole opened up on Foster Street, that might move it (Foster) up,â&#x20AC;? said Fenik.

Coun. Ed McPherson wondered why the process did not wait for the 2014 budget discussions, but Machan noted that he needed the extra two months â&#x20AC;&#x153;to engage an engineering firm,â&#x20AC;? for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes about four months to get provincial approval,â&#x20AC;? added Machan.

Time was also of the essence since, in order to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get all of that data captured while all of the snow is off of the road.â&#x20AC;?

Treasurer Lang Britchford also allayed councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fears about the costs of the road rebuilding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that this is an effort to drill us into debt,â&#x20AC;? said Britchford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our assets are in good repair.

Mayor John Fenik told council that it was important to keep making needed improvements to infrastructure since municipalities will very shortly be â&#x20AC;&#x153;mandated to have an asset management plan. If you want to see any cash from the province, they need to see what the municipalitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; priorities are,â&#x20AC;? Fenik said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first thing is to have that plan.â&#x20AC;?

Machan informed council that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could go to tender on Mill Street next week.â&#x20AC;?

The nine street selected for the multiyear street reconstruction planning evaluation are, along with the summary of their particular issue(s), and estimated reconstruction costs, are: â&#x20AC;˘ Mill Street (from Gore to the Tay River): Cost: $1,357,593.90.

Old Perth cop furniture going fast to clear out closets

“If any (town) department can use it, come and get it. If it can’t be used, it’ll go into the trash,” said Gemmell.

Once town staffers have had a chance to do their own, no-bid, no-cash version of Storage Wars, the furniture will be offered out to the community.

“If any community group needs it for any charitable reason, come and get it,” said deRosenroll.

“I would like people in the town to have a chance to use it,” said Gemmell.

News – The old Perth Police Service won’t be challenging Leon’s or The Brick any time soon, but some of its old furniture could be yours for the asking.

In taking inventory of what assets had been disposed of at the Perth Police Services Board meeting, Deputy Mayor John Gemmell said on Thursday, Nov. 17 that “we are done” with a few notable exceptions, like two police cruisers still in storage at the old police department at 1881 Rogers Rd., as well as a storage Coun. Jim Graff agreed, stating, that bay full to the rafters of old furniture.

“People have one week if they want a after all, “they are the taxpayers who table or chair,” said chief administrative paid for it.”

OPP Staff Sgt. Stephanie Patterson, representing OPP Lanark County detachment commander Insp.

Derek Needham, listens in during the discussion at the Perth police services board on Nov. 17.

The difference is you

ditorial – The rally for a young man who was severely injured in a hockey game here on Oct. 27 had overwhelming results.

The Perth community has raised more than $48,000 – and it was climbing towards the $50,000 mark at the time of publication – to give to Brett Nugent and his family to help in his recovery.

Nugent suffered a severe spinal injury that has left him, according to television reports, without much feeling from his chest down.

He remains in the Ottawa Civic Hospital.

Michael McLean, owner and head coach of the Blue Wings junior B hockey team, was quick to gather the troops after that game. He and his team, both behind the scenes and on the ice, rallied to pull together a huge fundraiser that raised the roof of the old – but newly-renovated – Perth barn on Friday night.

Some 600 fans filled the seats. They wore #15 stickers (Nugent’s number) and waved banners depicting a thumbs-up logo with his number, in red ink. There was a sea of red and white in the stands. It was heart warming to see, as was the video that paid homage to Nugent and his love of sports, especially hockey, fishing and his friends and family.

The Blue Wings fundraising committee enticed donations from folks at the door by

offering free admission. They gave what they could – some a few bucks, others a few thousand bucks. There were T-shirt sales, and a 50/50 draw.

There was even a website built for the fundraising campaign. The Blue Wings each purchased their own #15 T-shirts for the cause, something that McLean said he didn’t have to encourage, as they were all eager to help in any way they could.

McLean said that he has never been part of a fundraising activity before that has raised this much money.

“It’s not about the money,” he said. “It doesn’t change things (for Brett and his long road to recovery), but you take action and try and help any way you can. Brett Nugent has a long recover in front of him and I know there is financial pressure that comes along with it… things that aren’t covered for him so with this fundraising, if that just takes a little bit of pressure off the family then we’re really happy to be a part of it.”

McLean added that this community effort was also a great life lesson for the players.

“There’s more to hockey than what you learn on the ice,” he said.

This team has a lot of heart, as does this town, and as one fan on the Brett Nugent Facebook fan page says: “That’s the good heart of the Ottawa Valley.”

pinion - I have a very important title at home, although no one ever says it out loud.

I am “The One Who Knows Where Stuff Goes.”

I will preface this column with the usual spiel I share whenever I write about anything to do with domestic activities: I am no Martha Stewart. Unless I hire full-time help and a Dumpster, my home will never be on a house tour – at least not one showcasing tidiness. My housekeeping goal is to avoid being featured on an episode of Hoarders. So far, so good, but some days are touch and go.

I like to come up with all sorts of reasons why I never achieve the spotless, role-model home. Kids and pets? Maybe, but lots of people with perfect houses have those. Hired help? Lots of people do it all by themselves.

When I was away at school I had a part-time job cleaning for senior citizens. I did a fine job for them, so I know I can do it, and I remember learning a lesson at the time. “Self,” I said, “the key to all of this is to stay on top of it. Tidy as you go and spend a few hours every week doing the whole she-bang and your house will look as lovely as these ones.”

(I should note there was a distinct lack of spouses and small children in those homes, so maybe there’s something to that?)

Anyway, one recurring issue is that by the time I finish picking up debris left behind by my tornado family, I run out of time and/or gas to clean beyond the basics.

“There’s the floor! I found it! I shall vacuum it then make supper and do dishes and help with homework and put kids to bed and the end.”

The floor (and the dining room table) can be a surprisingly difficult thing to find, and the vacuum dislikes paper, coloured pencils, stickers, Nerf

guns (and the accompanying 5 kazillion bullets), discarded socks and Halloween candy wrappers.

My children are perfectly capable of picking up all of these things, but it often reSTEPHANIE GRAY quires an annoying amount of prompting. I badger and nag and the job gets done eventually but sometimes it’s not within the allotted time available for the actual vacuuming.

When I look around, I sometimes feel as if I am the only one who knows where this stuff goes (despite the giant toy box mere centimetres from the debris).

And then there’s the whole “half done” element.

Take, for example, the clean cat dishes, which are normally stored on a shelf at the top of the basement stairs, right off the kitchen. The dishes get washed. When the dish rack is emptied, the cat dishes end up on the kitchen table, mere steps from the basement door. One day I found they had been moved from the table to floor right beside the basement door.

Really? Is it THAT hard to open the door and set them inside? It would have saved the person from bending over, even!

I hasten to add I am not perfect. I know everyone in my house would stand on the rooftop and proclaim that I, too, have left things lying around for so long that I don’t even see them anymore, especially on the stairs. (Clutter on top of the microwave – your day is coming.)

Still.

I’ve taken to wearing an old festival T-shirt around the house on the weekends when I am doing chores. It’s bright orange and it says “Volunteer” in red letters on the front.

I may not be good at cleaning, but I excel at passive aggressive.

Letter

Reader gives Coun. Boldt kudos on train issue To the Editor, The article in last week’s Perth Courier concerning the conversation at a council meeting between Coun. Jim Boldt and Mayor John Fenik about train safety was quite timely.

Besides the example of Lac Mégantic raised

by Mr Boldt, we have the recent example of Alabama and the Alberta derailments (two or more?). I remember seeing mile-long trains on the prairies, but as Mr Boldt’s source told him, currently 10,000 foot-long (that’s 1.9 miles/3.1 km) trains travel on some tracks between Montreal and Toronto. As is stated, trains of this length would take “forever” to pass through town, tying up traffic for a significant period of time if they were to come this way. Coun. Boldt raised the issue of train safety and the unknown risk to our community, and possibly overstated the danger by saying an accident is “bound to happen” here. Based on statistics it is clear that “bound to happen” is far too strong a phrase; nevertheless, it is reasonable to say, “It could happen here”.

With the above as a preamble, it follows that Perth citizens are facing: 1. Trains carry-

ing loads with unidentified contents in the tank cars (some trains have no tank cars, others have many); 2. Daily train frequency (unknown to me, but is it in the range of 5 to 10?); 3. The speed trains pass through town (guessing 50 mph/80 kph). 4. The condition of the tracks.

Lac Mégantic was a special case in the way it happened, but the other examples appear to have occurred due to track failure. I’ve often been in the Foodsmith’s parking lot when a train has come through from the east, and had shivers of anxiety thinking about how I would be meeting my Maker very quickly if the train came off the rails and down the embankment at the speed they travel. Needless to say, Foodsmith’s would at a minimum have part of the store amputated, even in the absence of a fire.

The trigger for me to take the time to write this letter was the statement made by Mayor Fenik (“… safe community … have a safe rail line … good safety mechanism in place”) and those of Deputy Mayor Gemmell (“… fire department … emergency plan in place”). I think citizens would be interested in learning how the mayor knows that the rail line is safe and how

any emergency plan could counter the devastation of a Lac Mégantic or a massive petroleum spill. The mayor of Calgary has been calling for municipalities with rail lines to be informed on what the contents are of tank cars that pass through citizens’ back yards. In the case of Boldt and Fenik, the score is 1-0; a very reasonable statement and concern expressed by the councillor versus a platitude from the mayor.

His patently groundless statement, aimed apparently at not wanting to create fear, does not cut any ice.

This question is not going to go away. So far, the mayor’s position appears to be “it can’t happen here”, but the experience of other communities (and the hell their lives have turned into) would suggest this is not a reasonable response. When will governments at all levels come together to face the large rail corporations with the message (and legislation) that “enough is enough”, and that corporate profits do not trump a safe society.

Below, from left to right, police foundations students Chelsea Cordick, Karolina Patasi, and Taylor Rose, take down pertinent information after arriving on the scene of a mock car collision at Algonquin College’s Perth campus on Wednesday, Nov. 13.

357713

News – A stolen car, driven by an escaped felon, blew through a stop at Algonquin College last week, hitting another car, causing injuries.

As luck would have it, a group of Police Foundations students happened upon the scene, secured the area, sought ambulance and fire help to get the injured proper medical treatment, and arrested two people on site, one for drunk and disorderly conduct.

As classroom scenarios go, this is one of the more sensational – and it took a lot of hard work by police professor Gerry Salisbury to set it up, to make it look real, with faculty and staff – and a visit by the Perth fire department – to make it look as real as possible. The normally calm acting academic chair of the Perth campus, Brian Duffy, put his acting skills to the test to act belligerent and abusive to a police officer, before being hauled away into the back seat of the program’s police car.

“This isn’t going to be (a) car/deer (collision),” said OPP Cons. Dave Blair,

speaking to the students before the start of the exercise on Wednesday, Nov. 13.

“Whenever you get dispatched to something you think, ‘OK, what are my priorities? What information do I need to get?’

You’ve (also) got to get your game face on.”

While not advocating the good cop/bad cop routine for this scenario, Blair did advise that it might be necessary for one student officer to maintain the interviewee’s eye contact, and engage him or her, while their partner continues to take notes.

“You want it to be fluid,” said Blair.

Some students were quick to take photos of the two license plates with their iPhones, following up on Blair’s earlier advice: “Photos, what is that? Evidence.”

Outside, the students took turns measuring the crime scene, taking notes, and dealing with drunken suspects, conducting an arrest, and even how to deal with possible escaped felons.

“Safety is huge,” said Blair. “If this guy has escaped from Millhaven, call for back up.”

Connected to your community LOCAL NEWS PDCIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parenting class to entertain children with crafty Christmas fun

Shopping extravaganza also on tap for Dec. 6 ljweir@metroland.com

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Children will have an opportunity to create some Christmas gifts as they are encouraged to attend a crafty day at Perth and District Collegiate Institute on Saturday, Nov. 30.

Hosted by the parenting class, students from PDCIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeder schools, from junior kindergarten to Grade 3 are invited for some creative fun just in time for Christmas.

Crystal Watson, teacher, says the event is the first one ever hosted by her parenting class students, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of their curriculum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We anticipate 80 to 100 children and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a free

event,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There will be different stations set up where kids can create a bunch of different crafts and they can give them away as gifts.â&#x20AC;?

This event will be held in the cafeteria at PDCI from 9 a.m. until noon.

The following Friday, Dec. 6, the same parenting class students will host a PDCIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas Fundraising Shopping Extravaganza, from 6 to 10 p.m. Watson said she is hoping that this fundraising initiative will raise the $1,000 needed to fill 10 Christmas hampers for families identified by the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social services worker, as ones who could use a little extra food and kindness at Christmas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a direct sales event where 25 vendors

will be on site to sell their products,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The local businesses have been super supportive.â&#x20AC;?

Hampers will be filled with food items, including a turkey, to create a Christmas dinner for the entire family; and depending on the amount of money raised, Watson said they may be able to add extra food for breakfast as well.

A Change of Art show continues at Gallery Perth Community - Thirty artists from our own back yard will continue to display their evocative creations until Gallery Perth changes location in the New Year.

Gallery Perth in Codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill drew an excellent and admiring crowd on the opening day of the sixweek art show entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Change of Artâ&#x20AC;?.

More than one hundred people were treated to delicious refreshments and startlingly good and most desirable works of art.

This art show is provocative, highly colourful and most inspiring. Sadly, art shows will not be seen again in this splendid setting after this year.

On Jan. 1 Gallery Perth and Perth Picture Framing will amalgamate into the newly renovated Picture Framing location at Codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill.

This will be the last time to see art displayed in the marvelous stone-walled rooms with the 20foot, sky lighted ceiling in the Codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Art has been on display here for three and a

half years and it has done its job!â&#x20AC;? said Veronica Airth, owner of Gallery Perth and Perth Picture Framing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have distinguished the artists and graced the historic Codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill with art worthy of its grandeur. We brought people together to appreciate both and we thank the artists, the patrons and the Friends of the Gallery for coming together to make this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Happeningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have shown that there is talent in our town and the surrounding district and that it is a valuable asset worth supporting. Now we will downsize to be more efficient in business so we can continue representing our talented artists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although smaller, the newly renovated picture framing space in the same building will make a marvelous gallery too. We invite you to view our current show: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A Change of Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and to see our new space too.â&#x20AC;?

To coincide with the Christmas hampers, there is also an angel tree at PDCI where staff will be filling the need and purchasing appropriate gifts for the students who are represented.

The public is invited to the shopping extravaganza event on Dec. 6, where Christmas shopping can be done in one stop.

fact there was as much food as they could eat! Ice cream at every meal! The Lascars, the East Indian crewmen, treated them as though they were royalty. By all accounts it was luxurious.

“On Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 10:03 p.m. when The City of Benares was 650 miles west of Ireland, it was hit by a torpedo from a Uboat. It was night. The middle of a gale force-10 storm. 406 people, 100 of them children, had to take to the lifeboats while waves the size of skyscrapers crashed over them. Many of the lifeboats weren’t properly launched and they flipped their inhabitants into the icy waters of the Atlantic.. Within 31 minutes the Benares was gone. It took another 18 hours before a rescue ship, the HMS Hurricane, arrived.

Only 14 children were found alive at the disaster site. Two girls had survived by lashing themselves together over the hull of an overturned lifeboat. They said later that it was their friendship that had kept them alive. Three boys died on the rescue ship. For them, rescue had come just too late.

“The HMS Hurricane headed to Scotland with the 11 remaining children. They had no idea that they’d missed a lifeboat with another 6 children on board. The six little boys that I saw in the photo. In the archives of the Imperial War Museum, there are audio tapes of some of these survivors, telling their stories. I spent hours listening to their accounts, as they tried to explain why they survived when so many others didn’t. In the end, there were no answers. There was bravery.

Determination. Mostly there was luck.

“The novel I have written is from the point of view of three of the children who survived the disaster: 15-year-old Bess Walder, 13-year-old Ken Sparks and 10-year-old Sonia Bech. I have used verbatim and remembered dialogue to create a fiction based on the terrible facts of the sinking, and the children’s struggle to stay alive.

I have also told some bits of the stories of those who didn’t survive.

I have used the lens of the children’s perspective. Children are the true victims of war. The kids didn’t have the larger perspective. They didn’t know how horrifying their situation was. For the longest time, they thought it was the best adventure in the world! Sitting in the lifeboat one of the boys asked the pertinent question: Which would you rather be? Bombed in London or torpedoed in the Atlantic?”

September 17 is an adventure story, a story of hope, of survival and of the terrible cost of war.

ATTENTION HAIRSTYLISTS

Community – A local author will be having a book launch at the Book Nook in Perth on Dec. 7, from 1 to 3 p.m.

Amanda West Lewis combines careers as a writer, theatre director, calligrapher, book artist and instructor. Married to a writer, daughter of a book designer and writer, granddaughter of an editor, writer and bookseller, Amanda has built a life filled with words on the page and on the stage.

Her most recent book is September 17: A Novel, published by Red Deer Press. Her previous books include: Writing, A Fact and Fun Book; Lettering; Making Memory Books; The Jumbo Book of Paper Crafts; and Rosie Backstage (co-written with Tim Wynne-Jones).

Her blog, “Stepping off the Treadmill” can be found at http://a-lewis. net In her theatre career, Amanda was the executive director of The Ottawa School of Speech and Drama. She has taught and directed children, youth and adults in theatres and schools throughout Ontario.

As a professional calligrapher and book artist, West Lewis has exhibited her artwork in numerous group and solo shows. She was an active member of the Riverguild Fine Crafts and the Perth Autumn Studio Tour. Amanda has taught workshops in calligraphy and book arts for students in primary, elementary, secondary and postsecondary schools.

September 17 is a novel based on true events.

“I came across the story when I was in England a couple of years ago. I was at an exhibit called The Children’s War in the Imperial War Museum in London,” she said in a press release, which also appears on her website www.amandawestlewis.com.

“In the exhibit, I saw a photo from 1940 of a group of young boys, about 10 years old, with huge grins on their faces. They were wearing oversized sailor’s hats and waving from the deck of a ship.I think the caption might have read ‘Six Children Back from the Dead.’ It went on to explain that the boys had been in a lifeboat for 8 days, after being torpedoed in the middle of the Atlantic. I looked again at their faces, at their smiles. I was hooked. I started to read everything I could about these boys.

“On Friday, September 13, 1940, the SS City of Benares left the port of Liverpool with 90 children from the CORB program, plus another 10 who were paying passengers. 100 children all told. The

All only one thing: Lily wants you Lily needs now to help her reach her along for the ride. And since this full potential is a loving “life coach” sturdy little Dalmation mix loves to and a loving forever home.

This Week’s Pets

This week’s featured cats Holly and Ivy These two brown tabby sisters are striking with their markings.

Because they have been raised together, they must be adopted as a pair to ensure their comfort. Being five-and-a-half-years-old, the shelter is not an environment that they are familiar with and they tend to

run and explore, she can very easily leave you behind in the dust.

Affectionate, with a sweet nature to match her sweet face, she enjoys the company of most dogs, and, although a bit shy at first meeting, once she’s warmed up to you, she’ll happily make you her new best (human) friend. She knows some of her basic commands, but they still require some work – particularly her

hide when visitors come to give ear scratches and belly rubs. Out of sight, out of mind and therefore they remain at the shelter.

Holly and Ivy are waiting for a

home that understands their skittish nature and has the patience to instill trust. Please come to the shelter to meet these beauties, they are there... they are likely just hiding!

Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is located on Glenview Road, just off Highway 43, about 2 kilometres west of Smiths Falls. The shelter is open Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Write to us at P.O. Box 156, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1 or contact us at 613-283-9308, or email at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca.

News – Ottawa is the home of startups. The most recent is called the African Bronze Honey Project, a fun and powerful social enterprise. Artistentrepreneurs Paul Whitney and Liz Connell have partnered with ZambianCanadian Dan Ball in creating a project that gives from Africa to Canada…and then back to Africa.

Ball has trained more than 6,000 beekeepers in the remotest part of Zambia, in a massive forest at the headwaters of the Zambezi River. Together they produce the most amazing tasting, 100 per cent organic, forest honey. A year ago while visiting Ottawa, Ball posed a question, “Would you help us market our honey into Canada?” Whitney and Connell started thinking outside the box and partnered with schools and not-for-profit organizations to sell the honey and share the profits.

“Every year these forest beekeepers produce over 800 tonnes of the most amazing honey that you’ve ever tasted… and trust me, you’ve never tasted anything like it. Complex, beautifully dark and very compelling… it’s Africa in a bottle,” laughs Whitney. He should know, he spent eight years “trying to figure out how things work” in southern Africa.

“This project is so simple and there is not a penny of development aid involved. This is a world-class, epicurean food, produced in one of the least developed places on the planet, processed, packaged and marketed creatively and inexpensively with half the profit going back to assisting Canadian non-for-profit projects and training

more beekeepers in Africa. It’s a win, win, win project!” he said.

Last week, the African Bronze Honey Project visited the Stewart Public School in Perth, Ontario where 350 students went on a virtual tour of rural Africa led by Zambian-Canadian Zvondai Muchenje, our Schools Project facilitator, a graduate of Carleton’s International Development Program.

“I am a marimba player and drummer too, the kids love it when we sing and talk about making honey in the forest. A lot of the money these beekeepers make… it’s used to pay for school fees for their kids. So, it’s a great feeling when an entire school of Canadian kids all get excited about helping Zambian kids and their families start their own business…,” Muchenje said. “I worked in international development for years… this is what we were supposed to be doing. Now, here’s a project that is doing it!”

Whitney points out that people find this honey really interesting when they discover that it’s produced by African ‘killer bees’.

“They get a bad rap,” he said. “They don’t really kill people, except in Hollywood… however they are very aggressive to other bees… and they do make ‘killer honey’!”

The full story and the honey is available at africanbronzehoney.com.

Stewart School in Perth will also be selling the honey up until Dec. 15 as a fundraising project. The Gorgeous Grannies of North Gower will be offering it as well at their own upcoming fundraising events in Osgoode.

I hope we have money for vacation.

I hope it’s covered by insurance.

I hope they vote me prom queen.

I hope it comes in my size.

I hope they make it to the playoffs.

Storytelling, Christmas stories and thinking about summer at Full Circle Theatre Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BarnDoor Productions is getting the jump on the season, while celebrating the season this next month at Full Circle Theatre (FCT).

Saturday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m., 2 women productions bring the first event of their 2013-2014 season to FCT. A Dubious Blessing: Two Old Women Speak features storyteller Marta Singh telling of a personal journey into her past and herself, through the lens of a Russian folk tale and an Argentinian story.

Singh is the creator of Landscapes of Silence, featured in 2 women productions first season.

Tickets for the event are at www.ticketsplease.ca. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been along time since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve laughed so hard,â&#x20AC;? commented one patron after BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (BDP) hilarious The 39 Steps in October. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to bet that will be topped when BDP returns to the stage Dec. 6 through 15 with a show that surely encapsulates the most ho-ho-holiday spirit of all.

Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) is a 90-minute tour of, well, every Christmas story ever told. Veteran BDP performers David Bird, Joe Laxton and David Jacklin will keep you laughing and howling while they tell you every story from Rudolph (in a non-copyright infringing

version) to The Grinch to Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Wonderful Life and, yes, even A Christmas Carol. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silly and nonsensical and a great way to start the holiday season.

Tickets info is at www. barndoorproductions.ca.

BarnDoor is also looking well beyond the holiday season this month, making some announcements about the summer of 2014. Next summer will see Full Circle Theatre return to the kind of summer entertainment that BarnDoor does best: highenergy, high-entertainment, unpredictable and unusual. First up will Gaslight (also known as Angel Street), the seminal mystery thriller of all time, running in June.

For July, BDP revives one of its most popular productions ever, The Lure of the Lights (Or Why Women Sin), an original musical built around a 1903 shocker. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of BarnDoorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marks Brothers Melodrama series, taken from plays in the archives of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous Marks Brothers Dramatic Company from the 1900s and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tale of gangsters and fallen women and the underworld of New York City in 1910, all set to great songs from the time.

Then in August, William Wycherlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1673 comedy The Country Wife will continue BDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long tradition of summer classic theatre. The Country Wife was so risque

in its time that it was banned for more than 200 years! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, funny and still a little bit shocking, 340 years later. Of course, there will be plenty to see in between

then and now at FCT, from musical concerts, more story-telling, some racy, adults-only comedy in February, one of the most honoured and evocative plays of the

last decade in April, student theatre, cinema and much more.

You can get all the details at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

While the summer sun seems a

long way away, the temperature is already climbing at Full Circle Theatre.

IN MEMORIAM

DOHERTY – In loving memory of our dear parents, our Mom – Margaret June who passed away on November 22, 2004 and our Dad – Patrick John who passed away on March 12, 1970.

Down a road that’s calm and peaceful, Guided by God’s loving hand, They have gone upon a journey, To a distant, brighter land.

And although our hearts are heavy With sorrow we still bear, It helps to bring us comfort, Knowing they are together there.

Forever in our hearts, Your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren

Billy Duffy January 26th 1983 - November 25th 2008 We little knew that morning, God was to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us beautiful 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.

Love always Mom, Brent, Tara, Tiffany, Kyra, Evan, Avery and Family.

Christopher Dale Curran November 27, 2011 In loving memory of Chris.

It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since you were taken from us.

There hasn’t been a day that you haven’t been thought about, talked about and missed.

We all have so many memories of you and what you did.

The fun times, the laughs, and the special things that only you did.

That is why you will always be remembered and loved in the hearts of the people who knew you.

Love always Kim, the McQuatt and Curran families

BARNETT, Janice - In loving memory of a dear sister, who passed away November 22, 2007.

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

We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But never will be the same.

For those who still have a sister, Treat her with tender care, You will never know the emptiness, As when you turn and she’s not there.

We miss you so much, Love forever, Mom and Dennis.

IN MEMORIAM

“WE REMEMBER” Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away.

It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our way of

NOVEMBER saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confidence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying…“We Remember”.

BURNS - In loving memory of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents, Harry E. Burns, passed away October 9, 1992 and Elsie M. Burns passed away November 25, 1992.

There is a bridge of memory From here to Heaven above, That keeps you very close to us It’s called the bridge of love.

As time goes by without you And days turn into years, They hold a million memories And a thousand silent tears.

To us you were so special What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts That you were here today.

So whatever we do Wherever we go, Today, tomorrow Our whole life through, We will always love and cherish you.

Always remembered your family, grandchildren and great grandchildren

HOBBS - Keith Hobbs who left us for Heaven November 20th, 2009.

I found a penny today just laying on the ground, But it’s not just a penny this little coin I’ve found.

“Found” pennies come from Heaven That’s what my Grandpa told me, He said angels toss them down Oh, how I loved that story.

He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown.

So don’t pass by that penny When you’re feeling blue, It may be a penny from Heaven That an angel tossed to you.

We’re still ‘keeping the change’ Dad and picking up pennies makes us smile.

Always in our thoughts Your loving wife Margaret and your children & grandkids Rick & Chris, Henry & Wendy, Patsy & Murray and families

VIRTUE, Mae Marie In loving memory of our dear sister, who passed away November 22, 1988.

If we listen really close In the silence of the night We hear your voice to comfort us And say that you are all right.

But it’s often hard to understand Why certain things must be And the reasons why they happen Are so often hard to see.

But we all find comfort in just knowing That God is always there To keep the one we love so much Forever in His care.

Lovingly remembered by your sisters Betty, Emma, Edith, Esther, Maxine and Families

Lifestyle – This column recently featured a 1960 Morris Minor convertible owned for 30 years by Elizabeth Spratt of Dundas, Ontario. That story prompted an email from Abe Jacob, also of Dundas: “Hi Bill, I found your story about the Morris Minor very interesting. I just saw one in Ottawa in my daughter’s neighbourhood, a 1952 station wagon with the wooden exterior frame still with 2-part windshield but already 4-speed gear, in amazing shape!

nault Quatre Chevaux of the 1950s to 1970s.

“The Morris was popular in many countries previously under British occupation in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia until the German and, later, Japanese cars took over.

In my childhood in Haifa, Israel, two neighbour ladies from Rhodesia (Zimbabwe now) who immigrated to Israel, came with a new Morris Minor station wagon (also with wooden covered frame outside), by driving loaded with baggage from Salisbury (Harare) to Mombasa in Kenya (2,700 km), all on East African roads and no roads and then by ship to Eliat on the Red Sea. They made it safe and sound!”

Virtually identical to the 1960 model driven by the two women from East Africa is the 1961 Morris Minor station wagon seen here and owned

by Danny Bateman of Leamington, Ontario, in the 1960s. Note the curved one-piece windshield. Whenever Danny tried to pass a big truck on Hwy. 401, he had to keep the gas pedal to the floor and often got only as far as the truck driver’s door before having to fall back for lack of power.

Mike Filey, author of many books on the history of Toronto, reports that his first car was a 1949 Morris Minor “with one option, a heater, the fan of which was under the passenger’s seat.

Turn the device on and the person sitting beside me would rise two or three inches. The car also had mechanical brakes, a set of flipper directional signals, and was constantly infused with a not totally objectionable (at least not to me) aroma of burning oil.”

The car was maroon. Mike mixed several cans of paint to achieve a unique turquoise colour which he applied, starting at the front.

He ran out of paint before reaching the rear and pushed the paint the rest of the way by hand.

If the owner of the 1952 Morris Minor station wagon seen recently in Ottawa is reading this, please get in touch. We would love to feature your car in this column!

Legion Remembrance Day features large contingent from CFB Petawawa

By TERRY O’HEARN

Community - Legion Remembrance Day 2013 featured a large contingent from 1st Battalion, the Royal Canadian Regiment, CFB Petawawa, on parade under the command of Major Pat Murphy.

Legion First Vice President Eric Devlin noted that the Regiment was impressed with “the turnout, the program, and the Town of Perth”, and he gave them notice to “prepare for the town’s 200th Anniversary in 2016”.

Devlin also mentioned the rendition of “Soldiers, Sailors” given by Grade 2, 3, and 4 classes of Glen Tay Public School, which was a highlight of the Cenotaph ceremony.

A new procedure was adopted this year in that most of the wreaths and tributes were distributed throughout the crowd, including children, and placed as the names of the donors were read. Devlin was pleased with the new procedure because the number of people involved enhanced the ceremony, and it is likely the ceremony will be conducted the same way in the future. Photos from throughout the day can be seen on our web site listed below.

Branch 244 News Auxiliary (LA) member Florence Doran was presented with the Meritorious Service Award on Nov. 4 by President Marilyn Devlin. Also present for the award was LA Zone G6 Commander Betty Ann Pollock. Doran has been a volunteer with the local Canadian Cancer Society for more than 28 years, and in 1997 received the Perth Medal for her many hours of community volunteer work. In addition, she has been a volunteer with the Great War Memorial Hospital Auxiliary for 35 years, and a representative on the GWM Hospital Foundation on behalf of the Legion.

Coming events include the Ladies’ Auxiliary Robbie Burns Dinner and Dance on Jan. 25, 2014, and the New Year’s Eve event featuring “The Respectables” with doors opening at 8 p.m. and dancing from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.; the next Meat Draw is on Saturday, Nov. 30, from 2 to 5 p.m. in the Mem-

bers’ Lounge; and proceeds of an Artisan and Direct Sales Fair on Nov. 30, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., will go to Perth Legion and that event could be an ideal resource for Christmas shopping.

Carpet bowling continues each Wednesday at 12:45 p.m. in the Legion hall, with two games at a cost of $2. Contact Carol at 613-267-6872 for more information.

Lynda Smith reports a “very positive community support” for the Legion Garage Sale on Nov. 2, and also a good start to the membership Early Bird campaign. Membership volunteers will be in the Lounge on Fridays from 3 to 5 p.m. until the end of November, and members taking advantage of Early Bird renewals will be eligible for one of three prizes, with a possibility to win three years free membership.

Renewals for 2014 have hit 191 and we are on track to reach 400 by the end of the campaign.

Openings are available for the volunteer positions of both Secretary and Membership Committee. Any member interested should contact the office at 613267-4400 or perthlegion244@ bellnet.ca for more information.

Create a new child in your will and call her Charity desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Business – “How many of you list the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as a beneficiary?” asked Steve Hillier, his eyes scanning the room for up-thrusted hands that never materialized in the cavernous hotel conference room.

Smiling at the smatter of embarrassed laughter that followed, the financial planner continued on by saying that “the CRA is often an unintended beneficiary of our estate.”

Why not make sure that your favourite charity gets the money, after your children and remaining spouse are looked after, to let them carry on their good work after you are gone.

In fact, if you do it the right way, you can make your charity of choice a member of the family.

“Name a fourth child, and that fourth child’s name is Charity,” in your will Hillier advised, during a speech at the “Leaving a Legacy: How Do You Want to be Remembered?” workshop at the Best Western Plus Hotel and Spa in Perth on Tuesday, Oct. 22. The event was sponsored by the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County. Using his plan, “one quarter of the estate goes to the charity.”

He pointed to the charitable

donation tax credit calculator on the CRA’s web site, and, using a hypothetical example, found that a $125,000 donation from an Ontario resident would result in about $50,159.78 in tax credits.

“Donating money to charity is not all about tax savings,” said Hillier. “(But) it is a significant side benefit.”

The tax credits that are then generated from the charitable donation can then be dispersed to the hypothetical person’s three children. Also, up until the age of 85, you can still buy insurance, and “you can donate that policy directly to the charity,” with a charitable receipt available.

While swapping and trading credits and inheritances may seem a little cold, Hillier pointed out that one of the biggest mistakes people can make is to not take full advantage of making a positive change in the world, something he tries to help his clients do in his line of work.

“The first question I ask is ‘How do you want to be remembered?’” he said. “(Your legacy) needs to reflect personal values.

What matters most to you? What do you stand for?

“What you value impacts every part of your life. So, how do you transfer your values to the next generation?...By example,” and one of those examples can

be financial, putting your money where your mouth is.

One charity that he holds in high regard was the morning’s sponsor, the Alzheimer’s Society.

“I’ve been touched by Alzheimer’s in my life,” he revealed. His parents will turn 83 and 85 next month, and his father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year, as well as vascular dementia. His mother is now his primary caregiver.

“Life for them has changed,” he said.

Within his own family there are other challenges. Out of four sisters and a brother, the youngest has just graduated from teacher’s college and is just starting out in the world, while another sibling is dealing with health problems.

Using his own family as an example, he showed just how difficult it can be to try to help everybody in your family, since there are different, sometimes competing needs. In his own practice, with offices in Perth and Smiths Falls, he has had to deal with even more complex family dynamics – like multiple spouses.

“Having more than one legal Photo by EMILIE MUST spouse – can you imagine?” he Financial planner Steve Hillier addresses the “Leaving a Legacy: How Do You Want to be asked, somewhat bewildered. “I know that in my particular prac- Remembered?” workshop at the Best Western Plus Hotel and Spa in Perth on Tuesday, tice, I have a situation like that.” Oct. 22. The event was sponsored by the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County.

Local author pens smoky tale of murder amidst the ashes desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Though the years have passed, through the smoke and flame, John Kenny still sees the child â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the one who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it, much though he tried, while on a fire call.

Choking up several times, pausing, sometimes for what must have seemed like an eternity for him, to compose himself, it all came back.

Though his new novel, The Spark, is a work of fiction, it does draw on his experiences as a Toronto firefighter. Reading aloud from chapter two of his book, the Ebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay resident, now far removed from a cold winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night, giving CPR to a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifeless body, adjusted his glasses, looked out at family and friends gathered at the Carleton Place Canoe Club on Sunday, Nov.10, and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Firefighters are flesh and blood, too.â&#x20AC;?

In the book, as his eyes scanned each line, reading out, the novelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hero came to the realization that â&#x20AC;&#x153;training was no longer a duty. It was literally a matter of life and death.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are elements of truth in that (reading),â&#x20AC;? said Kenny afterwards, back at his book-signing table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even after 20 years, it still has an emotional impact on you.

It stays with you.â&#x20AC;?

The book is set in Toronto, where he continues to work for the Toronto fire department, and it is available for purchase on Amazon and at Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book store in Carleton Place. He is also in

talks with Mill Street Books of Almonte to carry it. He moved to Ebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay, full-time, five years ago, commuting out on rotating weeks to the fire hall in Toronto. His family has been living in Ebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay â&#x20AC;&#x153;since we stole it (the land) from the Indiansâ&#x20AC;Śmy grandfather, John Cooke, built the log cabin that is attached to the house.â&#x20AC;?

A firefighter for 25 years in January, he said he wanted â&#x20AC;&#x153;to make it as realistic as possible,â&#x20AC;? for readers, and to steer clear of â&#x20AC;&#x153;plastic Hollywood heroes.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They never show the density of smoke,â&#x20AC;? said Kenny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re totally blind. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a damn thing.â&#x20AC;?

Far from being a fictionalized memoir, it instead weaves in a murder mystery as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The events in the book are made up,â&#x20AC;? he hastens to add, but having a firefighter, usually a peripheral character at best in most other crime novels, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is one of the strengths of it. Usually, it is a cop or a private investigator. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what sets it apart.â&#x20AC;?

Not that his hero is flying solo in solving a case that most everyone else believes is just an accident, when his mentor dies in a blaze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are cops in the book, but not the main protagonist,â&#x20AC;? said Kenny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fire investigation is a science of its own.â&#x20AC;?

Kennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hero decides to take matters into his own hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He bends the rules and breaks a few laws in his eagerness,â&#x20AC;? said Kenny, of the investigation a hit-

man who uses fire to cover his tracks.

Kenny has been a writer all of his life, and used to write the scripts for a planetarium show in Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started a couple of times,â&#x20AC;? with the manuscript, he admits.

Then, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put it away.â&#x20AC;? Ultimately, the deed was done thanks to â&#x20AC;&#x153;discipline. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time at the keyboard.â&#x20AC;?

While the novel involves the murder of a mentor, Kennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own mentors include the famed spy novelist John le Carre, author of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (1963), whom he calls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;master of suspense thrillers.â&#x20AC;?

The recently-departed Tom Clancy is another favourite, â&#x20AC;&#x153;who was exquisite in his detail and research,â&#x20AC;? for novels such as The Hunt for Red October (1984). His own genre tastes run from science fiction to biography to historical fiction.

He got his first copy of the book on Oct. 6, and at his book launches in Carleton Place and Toronto, a few of his fellow firefighters came out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually reconnected with friends I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in years,â&#x20AC;? because of the book, he said.

While the brotherhood of firefighters would take to the jargon of their field right away, Kenny knew he had to write with the uninitiated in mind, lest they be turned away by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;inside baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; terminology.

He writes out terms like â&#x20AC;&#x153;selfcontained breathing apparatus,â&#x20AC;?

followed by (SCBA), and then refers to SCBA for the remainder of the book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was thinking of putting in a glossary of terms, but the terminology changes from department to department,â&#x20AC;? he explained,

with American firefighters referring to an engine, while firefighters in Toronto would call it a pumper.

While his novel is set in Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest city, it was suggested to him that â&#x20AC;&#x153;you would do a lot

better if you set it in Los Angeles or New York City or Chicago.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reality of the publishing business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can stay here and be a starving artist, or go to Hollywood and hope for success.â&#x20AC;?

NOTICE OF PROJECT CHANGE Project Name: Aurora Smiths Falls 2 Solar Project (formerly RE Smiths Falls 2 Solar Project) Project Applicant: Aurora Smiths Falls 2 Limited Partnership (formerly RE Smiths Falls 2 ULC) Project Location: The Project is located on Buttermilk Road in the Township of Drummond/ North Elmsley Project Name: Aurora Smiths Falls 5 Solar Project (formerly RE Smiths Falls 5 Solar Project) Project Applicant: Aurora Smiths Falls 5 Limited Partnership (formerly RE Smiths Falls 5 ULC) Project Location: The Project is located on Armstrong Road in the Township of Drummond/ North Elmsley Project Description Construction of these 10 megawatt facilities is nearing completion and the facilities are currently generating electricity using solar photoYoltaic panels mounted on Âż[ed racking structures with in-ground foundations. Direct current generated by the panels is converted to alternating current by inverters and stepped up to distribution voltage by a transformer at each inverter cluster. Alternating current is routed to a main facility substation and a short distribution line is used to connect each facility into the e[isting distribution grid.

Project Change Installation of the inverter clusters and associated transformers is complete and due to a number of design and construction factors some of the inverters and transformers were constructed more than 10 m from the location coordinates identiÂżed in the Renewable Energy Approval (REA) approval 8020-8R3PH2 for Aurora Smiths Falls 2 Solar Project and 4377-8LMH9S for Aurora Smiths Falls 5 Solar Project. As a result the applicants have submitted applications to the 2ntario Ministry of the Environment (M2E) to amend the respective REA for each Project to revise the location coordinates of the eTuipment. The M2E is currently reviewing these applications. Revised Noise Assessment StudyÂśs have conÂżrmed that the sound levels at all points of reception remain the same or have decreased for each Project.

Project Documents Copies of the Project documents including the revised Noise Assessment Studies are available online at: www.ontariosolarfuture.ca/projects Project Contact Information To learn more about the changes or to communicate any concerns please contact: Hatch Ltd.

Community – Youth Action Kommittee (YAK) Youth Services welcome new faces to the centre as Skills Link 2013-2014 has started! With this program running into mid-February, it gives eight participants with barriers to employment the opportunity to better prepare for the world of work. With changes being made to the program, Skills Link focuses on allowing participants to gain skills at various workplaces throughout Lanark County, while also working as a group at YAK to learn a number of life skills.

With only a month into the program, participants have already created resumes and practiced the art of creating cover letters for potential employers.

In doing so, every individual has been matched with a business/agency in a field that they wish to pursue. With a variety of employment placements, participants are completing 28 hours a week in locations such as the Lanark Animal Welfare Society, Apollo Computers, Salvation Army, Little Rock Farm, D-Dawg Café at Algonquin College, and with Brook Media Arts of Brook Valley. Here, they are experiencing the field of their interest while working with business owners and staff.

Networking in the community is also an important lesson that participants area becoming familiar with. Within the last month, the Skills Link Program has completed an obstacle course used for YAK’s “Dash from the Dead” Zombie run, assisted The Table with their community gardens located in Last Duel Park, and met with various organizations.

These organizations include Youth Centres Canada, The Table, Pet Intel, and the Smiths Falls Chamber of Commerce.

With each guest speaker that visits the Skills Link Program, information on services available, what employers look for, and many tips from business owners themselves are discussed.

Not only has this enthusiastic group of youth been making their faces familiar throughout our County, but they have also been working hard to complete a variety of certifications. Within the last month, First Aid/CPR training has successfully been completed as well as the Smart Serve Training Program.

Just a few of many training sessions that each participant will be able to add to their list of experience for future employment. A number of participants have also been enrolled back into school with the intentions to complete all of their needed high school credits.

The future looks bright for each Skills Link member. Topics such as creating small businesses, applying to post secondary education, the importance of transportation, healthy communications and relationships, and overall workplace etiquette will be reviewed. Individual workshops will also be arranged for

those who wish to further experience in their passions for future employment.

Continuing work throughout the community and maintaining positive relationships with service agencies and employers will also be a major focus. And amongst all the hands on skills, training, and education, most importantly, each

Perth raises $49,112 Fill the Rink for Brett fundraiser huge hit

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir#metroland.com

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brett Nugentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road to recovery was paved with a little bit of gold Friday night as the Perth Jr. B Blue Wings, their friends, family and fans, raised a whopping $49,112 during the Fill The Rink For Brett fundraiser.

It was an emotional evening from the flash-back video clip compilation to Tina Turnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rendition of Simply the Best of Nugentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life before his spinal injury last month in Perth that has left him recovering in an Ottawa hospital, to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win over the powerhouse Ottawa Canadians, 3-2.

Blue Wings owner and head coach Michael McLean said it was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;simply the bestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; night of fundraising of which heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever been a part. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never been part of a fundraising event as successful at this one,â&#x20AC;?

McLean said from Toronto early Monday, Nov. 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christine (Lyon, director of marketing for the team) made a great video and being out on the ice to watch that with Brettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Anthony, was pretty emotional.â&#x20AC;?

The family had sent Lyon photographs to use for the video compilation.

Anthony Nugent was on hand for the ceremonial puck drop, alongside McLean and his wife Krista HeartyMcLean.

Fans raced to purchase T-shirts depicting the #15 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Nugentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a thumbs-up image for $25. There were stickers and banners also available for the close to 600 fans who filled the stands.

Through the sale of T-shirts, 50/50 ticket sales and admission donations, the event raised $18,111. McLean Insurance matched it, bringing that total to $36,222. The web site â&#x20AC;&#x201C; www. filltherinkforbrett.com which was active until Nov. 18 at 6 p.m., hit $12,900 for the grand total. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really proud of our organization,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really proud of our community. It was almost provincial wide with the donations.â&#x20AC;?

McLean said it was more than just about the money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change things, but you

take action and try and help any way you can. Brett Nugent has a long recovery in front of him and I know there is financial pressure that comes along with itâ&#x20AC;Ś things that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t covered for him so with this fundraising, if that just takes a little bit of pressure off the family then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really happy to be a part of it.â&#x20AC;?

McLean added this community effort was also a great life lesson for the players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to hockey than what you learn on the ice,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The donations came from all over the place. Even the Shawville Pontiacs gave $1,700 on site.â&#x20AC;?

Broken down, McLean was doing some quick math saying about $5,000 was raised by the sale of T-shirts, with the 50/50 draw reaching almost $1,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say people were pretty generous at the gate,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would be about $12,000 raised from admission.â&#x20AC;?

ON THE ICE â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa won it all last year, and it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have gone much better,â&#x20AC;? he said of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-2 win.

The Blue Wings led 2-0 after the first period with goals from Zac Rodier and Blair Barr.

Rodier had some help from mates Blair Barr and Steve Plescia as they made good on a scramble in front of the net at the 16:06 mark to open the scoring.

Barr followed with help from Rodier and Alex Vala with less than a minute to go.

After a scoreless second, Rodier found his mark with help from Barr and Jimmy Pearson early in the third period on a power play.

Ottawa finally broke the seal around Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jeremy Wright when Luke Gagnon got by the hot netminder with 1:30 showing. Scott Mcilroy had the final goal of the game, which came at 2:57 for the 3-2 final. Dominic Plaschy was hit with the loss for Ottawa.

The Blue Wings had just one game last week, with their next, a home tilt against the Stittsville Royals on Friday night, 7:30 p.m. Sunday, they will host the Renfrew Timberwolves in a 3 p.m. contest.

Introducing

EOSSAA ACTION AT PDCI Sports – St. Joseph Catholic Secondary School of Cornwall is this year’s double ‘A’ junior girls EOSSAA basketball champion after defeating the St. Mary Crusaders of Kingston on Wednesday afternoon in Perth. PDCI hosted the tournament Nov. 13 where they split their games played: a loss to Panthers in an early morning tilt, 50-36, and a blow-out win over St. Francis Xavier, 61-9 in their second game. St. Mary, who played the Arnprior Redmen in the game just prior to the finals, ran out of steam early in the second half before succumbing to the well-rested Panthers, 50-38 for the championship. St. Joseph won their earlier games over hosting Perth and District Collegiate Institute, 50-36, and St. Francis Xavier, 43-22. The Panthers head to Windsor Nov. 21-23 for the provincial championships. Pictured above, Lauren McCormick goes to the hoop to score while St. Francis Becca Poirier-Froats (21) waits for the rebound. Bottom, Mikeala Congreves (12) and Emily Pike (5) battle through the defence of St. Francis Xavier.

Barbecue nets $400 for family baskets Community - The weather was chilly, but the grill was sizzling at Algonquin College Perth Campus last week.

Office administration, executive and students partnered with Brownleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Metro to reach out to the community with a barbecue fundraiser on Nov. 13. Thanks to the outstanding community support the barbecue received, the students were able to donate $400 to the Brownleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Metro Family Basket Program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a wonderful opportunity to support a worthy cause,â&#x20AC;? said Monique Cochrane, office administration program coordinator and professor. She called the

studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; community involvement â&#x20AC;&#x153;something to be proud of.â&#x20AC;?

From event planning and communications to business etiquette and team building, OAE students took their skills from the classroom to the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community support was overwhelming,â&#x20AC;? noted Ashley Leaver, OAE student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had people coming to buy lunch from 3M, the town hall, and Community Living, not to mention all of the students and college staff that purchased lunch, too. They led this fundraiser to success.â&#x20AC;?

Since 1984, Brownleeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Metro Family Basket Program has been

providing holiday baskets filled with food to the local families who need them, helping to spread a little cheer along the way.

Algonquin College Perth Campus is bustling with more activities as the holidays approach. Students from the Police Foundations program are planning a Stuff-theCruiser food-drive.

A Salvation Army Angel Tree has been set up in the lobby to collect gifts for local children, and decorating has begun on the Algonquin College Heritage Instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s float for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Santa Claus parades.
