Future of Darou Farm to be decided next year

Legion recognizes town hall for help with poppy campaign.

COMMUNITY

News – The future uses of the old Darou Farm will return to council in the New Year after consultations with an area business owner.

The decision to essentially allow for the demolition and relocation of the old Darou Farm came to a final vote of Perth town council on Tuesday, Nov. 19, with all but Mayor John Fenik voting in favour of allowing the move.

“What this does… is allow town staff to enter into discussions with Dr. Warren Hollis (about)…adaptive reuse” of the property, said Coun. Jim Boldt.

He noted that, once the discussions have taken place, the issue will return to council and “at that meeting, we will discuss the final proposal,” likely in January of 2014.

With the farm house and barn sitting on property right beside a landfill site, “our options really are limited because of that,” said Coun. Judy Brown. “There is a difference… if it was a scenario where someone were to come in and take over the property, they would need water.” By drilling a well on the property, that could “affect (the) leachate system,” which would then require new test wells.

“There is also the issue of liability,” said Brown. “I wanted to elaborate that so that people would understand it.”

Fenik, however, stuck to his position.

“As soon as you disassemble it and reassemble it, it loses all heritage value,” said Fenik. As Perth expands, “in time, services would be running down (Rideau Ferry Road)… I find it concerning that we would destroy a bona fide heritage property.”

News – The Lanark Highlands fire department is playing catchup when it comes to training.

The department’s fire chief, Rod Black, told township council that, “right now, we are not keeping up… we are lacking on the theory end because we do not have the expertise at each station.”

While the township might be behind in its training, “all of Ontario is behind in training,” said Black, with the firefighters’ regulatory body requiring 192 units of curriculum be covered – something that could take anywhere from five to seven years to cover.

“They make it so difficult for volunteer firefighters now,” said Black, during the Lanark Highlands Township special committee-of-the-whole budget meeting on Monday, Nov. 25.

The department has set up a training committee, and a training schedule for next year has

been put in place, both of which will necessitate a change from how training is carried out now.

“Right now, each station is trying to do its own training,” said Black. “We are right in transition” with training.

Another change Black would like to see is a full inventory of the department, and testing of all equipment.

“We do not have a full inventory of the fire department,” said Black. “No one has ever tested a fire hose here.”

He noted he would like to start testing the hoses over the winter, preferably at a township garage or similar facility.

“I fear a lot of those hoses will not be able to pass,” he said.

The fire department is seeking a 2.5 per cent increase in its budget for 2014, partially because it has not had an increase in funding from the township since 2009. However, so far, the 2013 fire budget was “under budget

Dec. 7, the Portland and Merrickville food banks will be supported with food

By ASHLEY KULP

Community – The spirit of giving is alive and well in Smiths Falls after the community helped bring in more than 45,000 pounds of food Nov. 23 during the Build A Mountain of Food campaign’s local food blitz.

The food blitz took place at four locations throughout town: Andress’ Your Independent Grocer, The Garden Market, Food Basics and for the first time, Giant Tiger. The food (45,833 pounds) and cash donations ($3,456.87) from the day will benefit the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank.

According to Build A Mountain of Food campaign co-ordinator Hugh Colton, the Smiths Falls numbers are up 30 per cent over last year. “The communities are absolutely giving and it’s overwhelming,� he admitted, noting that last year, 32,233 pounds of food were collected. “It was a record breaking day.�

Local volunteers and members of the Smiths Falls Bears braved the cool conditions at each location from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to help support the food bank.

Colton said that Andress’ Your Independent Grocer also shattered their record for the sale of pre-packaged bags of food. “Last year, 500 had been sold but by 3:30 p.m. last Saturday, 609 pre-packaged bags had been sold at Andress’,� he said.

The breakdown for that 45,833 pounds of food included 16,283 pounds from the general public, 9,300 pounds from local businesses and organizations, as well as 20,252 from the stores hosting the local food blitz. Colton said the Rideau Lakes Artists’ Association

collections at Portland’s Food Market from 9 a.m. to noon and at Merrickville Food Market from 1 to 4 p.m.

The campaign wraps up Dec. 14 at the Athens Fresh Mart from 9 a.m. to noon, followed by the Delta Country Market from 1 to 4 p.m.

REGIONAL NEWS

STEO prepared for inclement weather STEO staff review forecasts each day before 2 p.m. to check for weather alerts that may affect busing. If there are problems on the horizon, bus contractors are notified. Forecasts are reviewed again at 9:30 p.m.

On the mornings that snow storms, freezing rain, or other weather problems are expected, the forecasting service, Pelmorex/The Weather Network, is contacted at 4:30 a.m. to check on weather conditions. Pelmorex/ The Weather Network is one of the most accurate forecasting services in the country. The same system is used by road crews from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.

STEO staff members do not rely solely on forecasts, however, when deciding whether or not to cancel bus service.

Consultation takes place with a team of contractors whose staff members check area roads at 4:30 a.m. if bad weather is expected.

The region is separated into 18 zones with a contractor as a captain in each zone. The captain reports weather and road conditions to Cotnam directly, confirming the amount of snow and ice accumulation on roads, if snow or freezing rain is continuing, and providing details on accumulation and intensity. STEO, and the contractors, also consult with municipal road crews, police, and other school boards throughout

the region, before making the call.

With such a large area, it’s not unusual for weather to be bad in some parts of the jurisdiction, and not others. In those situations the board only cancels busing in problem areas, or areas where weather is expected to pose difficulty for bus drivers by the time they pick up students for the return trip home. This means buses can be cancelled in all 18 zones, or cancelled in as few as one, when conditions warrant such an order. Parents may get frustrated if roads in their area look fine, but while one street may look clear, travel elsewhere in the immediate region may be dangerous.

The final decision on bus cancellations is made by the director of education from each board, or his designate, based on Cotnam’s recommendations. The decision to cancel must be made by 5:45 a.m., as buses begin as early as 6 a.m.

“We understand that cancelling buses in bad weather has a big effect on families, and we know that students are best served in the classroom,” said Cotnam.

Once the decision is made to run, STEO cannot reverse it, even if weather takes an unexpected turn for the worse. Parents rely on that decision when they leave for work.

News – With winter near, and the impending onset of inclement weather, Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) has improved the way it manages bus cancellations for the upcoming winter season.

“STEO has worked vigorously to improve communication with parents and students about decisions to cancel busing if snowy conditions or icy roads make it unsafe to run buses,” said Ron Cotnam, STEO’s general manager and chief administrative officer.

Letters have been sent to all parents of students in both the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario and the Upper Canada District School Board, explaining the process for issuing bus cancellation orders. STEO’s website offers easy access to transportation updates during inclement weather season. While STEO still works with area radio and TV stations to issue details about cancellations, the website means parents don’t have to wait for the next newscast to get details. They can log on at www. steo.ca to access information.

“The decision to cancel busing is not taken lightly,” explained Cotnam. “It’s based on careful analysis of several factors, from up-to-date weather forecasts, to information from bus drivers who check roads on mornings when problem weather is expected.”

Garneau calls for Ford’s resignation, return of long-form census desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – You don’t go into politics to become popular.

Marc Garneau, Canada’s first man in outer space, found that out for himself when he entered politics at the behest of former Prime Minister Paul Martin and discovered that the G-force pressure of lift-off in the space shuttle was good training for the pressures of political life.

“When I was an astronaut, I was very popular,” said Garneau, speaking to the first year politics class taught by Perth Mayor John Fenik at Algonquin College’s Perth campus on Monday, Nov. 25. “Everybody liked me. Now, I am a politician,” he said with a laugh. “That is one of the transitions you make. If any of you enter politics…you have to be ready for the fact that people will tell you that they do not like you.”

But as a former astronaut, reliant on reams of computer and scientific data, he told the students that the Harper government’s decision to scrap the mandatory longform census was a bad one.

“I believe that policy should be based on evidence,” said Garneau. “It should be used to craft policy.” He admitted that for those who did fill out the census that “yes, you can find a few of the questions very intrusive…but it gave

you an accurate data base on which to base policy.”

Without that accurate information, “you tend to make decisions based on ideology, and less on evidence.”

While the students seated before him were a long way from retirement age, Garneau sounded out one of his party’s possible 2015 election platform planks, decrying the Harper government’s decision to raise the retirement age from 65 to 67. Getting back then to his audience, many of whom likely had student loans, he also suggested that students should not have to pay back those loans until they landed a job after graduation.

Garneau is currently not only the Member of Parliament for the Montreal riding of Westmount-Ville-Marie, but is also the Liberal foreign affairs critic, former Chancellor of Carleton University, and former president of the Canadian Space Agency.

With such a resume, one student commended his run for the federal Liberal leadership earlier this year.

“I tried that. It didn’t work,” Garneau said with a laugh. “I ran for it because I had a lot of ideas that I thought were good ideas.

But competition is competition,” and the eventual winner, fellow Montreal MP Justin Trudeau, felt he had ideas that were just as good.

“It was very clear that Justin was way out in front,”

said Garneau, with himself in second place. By March of this year, Garneau gathered with his team to analyze an extensive survey of 6,000 Canadians, which laid bare that there was simply no stopping the Trudeau juggernaut.

“Do I soldier on bravely with Justin so far ahead?” asked Garneau of his staff.

He eventually decided to drop out of the race, since “it all costs money. It would have added to my campaign See GARNEAU page 6

debt.” Not that he still doesn’t have detractors who still question his decision.

“People wag their finger at me and say ‘You should have stayed in the race,’” said Garneau. “I hated to back out.”

Garneau’s seat in the House of Commons is just down the hall from the Senate, one of two political hot spots in the country right now, the other being Toronto City Hall. On the senate scandal, which ensnared three former Conservative senators,

and a Liberal, he said that the punishment meted out by the senate on Pamela Wallin, Mike Duffy, and Patrick Brazeau, was acceptable.

“I am a believer that if you do something wrong, you should pay,” said Garneau. “You also have to have your day in court,” to defend yourself.

He reminded his audience that he lives in Montreal, where the city hall there has had its own scandals, with two mayors in as many recent years resigning over corruption allegations.

As for Toronto’s Mayor, Rob

Ford, “I think he should step down.”

He found himself in agreement with a fellow MP who is normally an ideological foe, Employment and Social Development Minister Jason Kenney.

“When you are in an elected office, you have to bring a certain dignity to it,” Garneau said, before adding that, “nobody is perfect…I understand he (Ford) was elected, but too many things have happened,” since his victory in October of 2010.

Merrickville Aikikai open for business

By STAFF

Business – Local martial artists interested in aikido now don’t have too travel too far from home to practice it.

Merrickville Aikikai officially opened its doors on Sept. 21 at 1211 County Road 43, just outside of Merrickville. Owner and chief instructor Gary Roberts, a resident of the village, has been practicing the defensive art for 40 years. For the past eight years, he has also been the owner and chief instructor of the Ottawa Aikido Centre, at which he continues to teach as well.

Aikido is a Japanese martial

art that translates into ‘way of harmony’ and uses natural body movement to deflect an attacker’s intent.

“It only teaches you methods that are effective in a fight,” Roberts, a 4th Dan, said.

It is the youngest of martial arts.

“Aikido speaks to every single one of us in one way or another,” Roberts noted. “For me, the idea is to use meditation in action. It’s about the quiet mind while you’re moving.”

Currently, the centre offers classes for beginners right through to the more expe-

rienced. Classes take place Monday and Friday evenings at 6 p.m., Saturday mornings at 9 a.m. and Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m. for those 55 and older. The sessions last approximately an hour and a half and focus on demonstration and providing students with the opportunity to practice techniques.

Classes are $20 up to a max of $100 per month.

For more information on Merrickville Aikikai, look for them on Facebook.

For an in-depth feature on Merrickville Aikikai and Roberts’ road to becoming an instructor, please see next week’s edition of the EMC.

Community – The Smiths Falls Legion was filled with area children hoping to meet with Santa Claus during the Breakfast With Santa event Nov. 24. Above, Santa visits with fiveyear-old Addison Perry, who was a bit shy, but let him know she hoped to see an iPad underneath the Christmas tree this year. Below, four-year-old Cadence MacPherson enjoyed her pancake breakfast.

Every day, Canadians are faced with spend versus save decisions that will have an eventual impact on their future financial life and the quality of their retirement years. Here’s the dilemma in a nutshell: “I know I should save for my retirement but that new big screen LED TV is on sale for a great price and it would be a terrific upgrade for our family room.”

Sure, it’s difficult to think about a distant future plan (something intangible that is way down the road) when you can get something you want today, this is why many people don’t set realistic goals. But, in this case the solution seems obvious: Stay with the perfectly serviceable TV you’ve already paid for and put the money you would have spent on the new one into a retirement fund (or some other investment).

Simple, right? But there’s much more to effective financial planning than investing in investments held within an RRSP or other savings vehicle. While it is undeniably true that the earlier you start saving, the better — especially within a tax-reducing, tax-sheltered RRSP where the magic of compounding will enhance your investment growth over time — the first thing

Manage Your Money

you need to know is what you are saving for. In other words, you can’t measure a future need without knowing what that need will be. So start by carefully defining your objectives — some are straightforward, like your desire to buy a larger home at some future date; others require much more thought, like looking at your retirement from every angle and defining the level and duration of finances you will eventually need to achieve your dreams.

• What if your income — and thus, your ability to save — is affected by ill health, a workplace accident, a sudden unexpected expense, or even job loss?

But don’t be deterred — there are answers to all these questions, ranging from an effective investment diversification strategy to insurance coverages that will protect you, your family, your income and your estate.

Yes, comprehensive financial planning is complex — and also vital. Make the right decisions today and for your future by talking to your professional advisor.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Saying thanks to a caring community DEAR EDITOR: On behalf of Operation Christmas Child, I want to express my sincere thanks to all those who participated in any way.

Special thanks goes out to Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church and all the volunteers who so graciously donated their time and talent. Thanks to Wills Transfer for taking the boxes on the first part of their journey and to the Perth Courier, Lanark Era and the Frontenac News for putting our story in their papers. Thanks to the Salvation Army Thrift Store and the staff for all their help, K.W. Outdoor Power Sales for use of their building and vehicles and McMartin House for the use of their building, without which we would not be able to distribute our boxes.

Thanks to all the businesses that donated to the campaign and each

individual who so lovingly packed a shoe box, our thanks and also the thanks of each girl or boy who will open their boxes and their faces will light up with the true meaning of Christmas. I consider it my privilege to have served in this worthwhile endeavour as some of these children have never received a gift before and really didn’t know that there are people in the world who care about them enough to send this wonderful message all tied up in a little shoe box.

May you and your families enjoy the true meaning of Christmas this year.

Vivian Buchanan Perth

COMMENTARY

Be weather wise Editorial – Whether we like it or not, winter officially made its annual appearance earlier this week and sometimes we need a reminder on how to dress appropriately for the conditions.

Playing outside in the snow can be fun, but the dangers of frostbite and hypothermia aren’t a laughing matter, according to the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

Frostbite, the freezing of the skins and layers of tissue underneath, can occur when temperatures dip below -4 degrees Celsius and can be hard to feel. If outside for prolonged periods of time, the health unit recommends you check for white or grey spots on the skin or areas that may have lost feeling.

Tingling and pain can also be signs of frostbite, which normally affects the feet, hands and ears.

Hypothermia, when heat is lost from the body faster than you can create it, is equally serious as once this happens you may not be able to think clearly. It requires immediate medical attention and if outside, you should watch for symptoms including: loss of memory, shivering, slurred speech or loss of consciousness.

To combat the wicked winter chills, make sure you are bundled in layers of warm dry clothing, drink hot fluids, cover exposed skin when outdoors and be aware of the early signs of frostbite and hypothermia. To ensure you and your family stay warm this winter, the health unit also recommends a heated environment of 20 degrees Celsius be maintained.

You made do or you did without in Depression years Lifestyle – How often I had begged Mother to find the few pennies it would take to buy just one bar of store-bought soap. But there was always a better place for her egg money, she’d say. And besides, there was nothing wrong with the bars of homemade soap she churned out once or twice a year.

As well as my loathing for the homemade soap was my absolute dislike for the days Mother put aside to make it!

That seemed to happen spring and fall.

It couldn’t be too hot, or too cold. Winter had yet to settle in that year I remember with such clarity. The summer kitchen was still being used to store things, but soon it would be too cold to be nothing more than a place to pile the wood. And once the snow came, it was through the summer kitchen we went to get rid of as much snow off our feet as possible, before coming into the kitchen.

Mother announced at breakfast that morning that Audrey and I were expected to hurry home from school because we would be putting supper on the table.

“I’m making soap today,” she said.

She had been saving lard from the fried bacon, roasted pork and anywhere else she could find a spoonful or two of fat.

By the time the soap day rolled around, about four small honey pails of fat sat on

an old table in the summer kitchen at the ready.

The tin of Gillette’s Lye was already bought at Scott’s Hardware in Renfrew, and we children were warned every day not to even touch the tin it came in, so deadly it was!

“Poison. And it will burn a finger to the bone,” Mother warned. Every time I walked through the summer kitchen, I looked at the yellow and black lettered tin of lye like it alone had started the First World War. The containers Mother used to make the soap were big square black tins, much like the cookie sheets that stood on edge in the bottom of the kitchen cupboard.

But these were shallow, and much larger, and as black as your boot.

Even before we went to school, Mother would have started into the soap making. The tins (usually there were at least three in use at a time) were spread out on the old wood table in the summer kitchen. The kettle would be boiling on the Findlay Oval, and Mother would take it to the summer kitchen and half-fill the black tins with hot water. I would always hope we would still be home when she added the lye. I both hated and was entranced with that step in soap-making.

and evenly pour the lye over the hot water. And great gusts of steam would come off the tins, not from the hot water which would cool off almost immediately, but from the lye doing its dastardly deed with the water. There was an old wood spoon, with a very long handle, that was used for nothing else but stirring the lye into the water. It had a piece of binder twine through the little hole in the handle, and when not used for soap-making, hung in the summer kitchen, so that it wouldn’t accidentally be used for something that would be put in our stomachs.

The fact that Mother wore a pair of Father’s old work gloves confirmed in my mind how deadly was the lye. We were never around long enough to see the next step, but we knew the little honey pails, which would have been sitting on the back of the cook stove to turn to liquid, would be brought close to the 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

table, and once the lye had been melted into the hot water, the lard would have to be stirred into the mixture. Into one tray Mother would drop in a few drops of vanilla. That tray would be used for our baths and face-washing.

My sister Audrey said the hardest part of soap-making, was trying to blend the fats into the water and lye. Sometimes it took hours. And I would picture in my mind Mother with Father’s old work gloves on, stirring and stirring and making sure not a drop would touch her skin.

By the time we got home from school, the big black trays of lye, water and fat, would have gelled and hardened, at least that was Mother’s hope. But sometimes, it seemed to take forever for the pans to set well enough to be cut into bars.

Wile that was happening, Mother constantly jumped up from the supper table and went out to the summer kitchen to press a finger to the mould to see if it was ready to cut.

I could never figure out how the deadly lye could lose its power just by adding water and lard! When it did (and I questioned the fact), it became the soap we would use in our baths on Saturday night, for washing our hands, shaved into slivers for doing the Monday washADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

ings, and for anything else that needed to be cleaned with soap and water.

By the time the evening was well on its way, Mother would bring the trays onto the kitchen table which had been spread out with copies of the Renfrew Mercury, and with the sharpest knife in the house, she would cut the soap into bars.

Sadly, no matter how hard Mother worked to melt the lye, there was always a few pieces left that didn’t succumb to the hot water, and it wasn’t unusual at all, when washing, to have a piece of lye scrape across your body, leaving a scratch like one made by a mad tom cat!

My sister Audrey and I and Mother were the only ones to use the soap made with a dash of vanilla, but as far as I was concerned, the vanilla did little to take away the strong smell of Gillette’s Lye. One day Mother bought a bar of a new soap called Ivory. It was for company, like Aunt Lizzie when she came from Regina, and when she left, it was wrapped in wax paper, and stored away until her next visit.

So all through those Depression years, homemade lye soap was part of our lives, and very much a part of a time in our lives when you made do, or you did without.

Clark wrote to the current minister, Linda Jeffery, today to remind her there are just 27 sitting days left on the 2013 legislative calendar. Amendments must be passed by Jan. 1, 2014 to be in place for next year’s local government elections on Oct. 27, 2014.

“The clock is ticking and we need to see some action from the government now to pass these amendments that municipalities across the province, including in my riding of Leeds-Grenville, have demanded,” stressed Clark.

News – Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark is renewing his call for the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to immediately introduce legislation to amend the Municipal Elections Act. Clark said the amendments required include eliminating the excessively punitive penalty for the late filing of election expenses by municipal candidates. Currently, being even one day late in submitting this expense report means you automatically lose your council seat and can’t run in the next municipal election.

The “lame duck” period between election day at the end of October and the date new councils officially take office on Dec. 1 must also be shortened, said Clark.

“Time is running out to amend the act in time for the changes to take effect for next year’s municipal votes,” said Clark. “Every Municipal Affairs and Housing minister since the last municipal elections in 2010 has assured me

Orion Theatre Company Brings Les Misèrables to Perth this February Picture, and received eight Academy Award nominations, and won three Oscars. The film’s soundtrack has sold more than two million copies worldwide.

And now, local theatre-goers have a chance to see for themselves what all the fuss is about.

On Feb. 6, Orion Theatre Company’s production of Les Miserables will open at Code’s Mill on the Park in Perth for a twoweek run. Code’s Mill provides a wonderful cabaret-style theatre experience, with table seating and bar service.

Based on the widely acclaimed 19th century novel by Victor Hugo, Les Misèrables tells the story of Jean Valjean, and his quest for redemption after serving

19 years in jail for stealing a loaf of bread, who breaks parole to start a new life, but is relentlessly chased by a police inspector Javert. It depicts the life of the poor – les misèrables – in early 19th century Paris, and the revolutionary spirit that existed amongst the students and working class who were frustrated by the inequalities and cruelties perpetuated by the ruling class and the rich. Set during the Paris rebellion of 1832, the play climaxes during an epic battle between revolutionary students and the army.

Producing directors, Heidi Stepanek and Peter Dixon have assembled one of the strongest casts in its history. The cast is led by locals Peter Dixon (Jean

The cast is supported by a fantastic 15-piece orchestra under

the baton of the incomparable Peter Woodwark.

Performances will take place at Code’s Mill on the Park, located at 17 Wilson St. E. in Perth, on Feb. 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, and 15 at 8 p.m., and Feb. 9, and 16 at 2 p.m.

Local band BoB Spelled Backwards to appear in Bolingbroke Dec. 6 Community – BoB Spelled Backwards, the quirky folkcountry-psychedelic blues band featuring five members of the Dorner-Sullivan family, will perform their only concert of 2013 at the Bolingbroke Café (at the ABC Hall in Bolingbroke – 3166 County Rd 36) on Friday, Dec. 6.

BoB Spelled Backwards, after performing widely in Ottawa and eastern Ontario in recent years, have been taking a bit of a break this year, to allow the individual members to work on other projects. Japhy and Noah

Sullivan have performed their own material as a duo, as well as leading a four-piece instrumental band called Conspiracy Of Sound, performing funky, folky, jazz originals.

Meanwhile, Noah and Margaret Sullivan have also performed as a duo, appearing as Charlie In The Middle, and parents Danny Sullivan and Kathy Dorner have revived some of the material they performed in the 1990s with their band, The Dharma Bums.

In the summer of 2012, the Dorner-Sullivans spent a week in Toronto, recording at The

Millstream, the studio of Canadian folk-hero and long-time producer, Paul Mills. The result was a five-song BoB Spelled Backwards EP, Thicker Than Water, that highlights the genrebusting variety of their extensive repertoire. The band has plans to go back into the studio in 2014 to work on their first full-length album. In the new year, they also have plans for more live performances, including a major charity fund-raiser in Ottawa next spring.

Whether they’re playing in someone’s kitchen or living/

room, or on the stage of a festival or theatre, BoB Spelled Backwards are always ready to give it their all. With original songs ranging from soft-spoken folk ballads to reggae-tinged philosophical musings, their watchword is eclecticism.

The Bolingbroke Café is a monthly event, organized by Mike Erion, featuring a different musical act every month.

Specialty coffees, teas, desserts and soft drinks are served, and the doors open at 7 p.m. for refreshments and socializing. BoB

Spelled Backwards will perform at 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 6 at the ABC Hall (3166 County Road #36). Admission is $10 at the door.

For more information, contact Mike Erion 613-273-8718 or email merion@kingston.net.

Countdown on for the Dominion Tankard curling championship Jan. 27-Feb. 2

By HIT N ROLL

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Dominion Tankard starts in 60 days at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre (arena).

The Dominion Tankard, which is the Southern Ontario provincial menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curling championship, takes place from Jan. 27 to Feb. 2, 2014. The winner represents Ontario at the Tim Hortons Brier.

The tournament is overseen by the OCA (Ontario Curling Association). The event is sponsored by the Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company.

Northern Ontario has its own provincial championship known as the Dominion of Canada Northern Ontario Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curling Championship.

Since 1960, there have been five Ontario provincial champions from Eastern Ontario â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jake Edwards of Kingston, 1960; Eldon Coombe of Ottawa, 1972; Alex Scott of Kingston, 1975; Earle Morris of Ottawa, 1985; Rick Moffatt of Ottawa, 1999 and Bryan Cochrane of Ottawa, 2003.

The original Tankard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Brier Tankard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was first

awarded in 1927 and stayed as the most coveted trophy in curling until 1979 when Labatt Breweries took over sponsorship from MacDonald Tobacco.

The Tankard trophy went into hibernation until 2000. The Tankard is a treasured piece of Brier history.

The second leg of the Grand Slam of Curling took place in Alberta last weekend . Once again teams from Ontario were prominent with four of them in the final eight. Each of these outstanding teams are potential participants in the Provincial Championships here in January.

The quality of play was not as good as the first

Grand Slam event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Precision shot making was more difficult because the ice was tricky and seemed to be tilted.â&#x20AC;?

The defending Ontario champions, the Glenn Howard, Wayne Middaugh, Brent Laing and Craig Savill team (rink) has won this event for the past seven years. Are they ripe for an upset? By the way, Wayne Middaugh won his Junior Provincial Title in Smiths Falls in 1987.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other finalist rink was led by Joe Frans as skip.

Some of our readers will recall that Joe grew up in Smiths Falls and began his curling career here. His father (Theo) was icemaker at our club in addition to his farming activities in the 1980s.

The next big event and, one that has been anticipated by all top level teams, is the Olympic trials which take place in Winnipeg this coming weekend. Both the Rachel Homan and Glenn Howard rinks are amongst the favourites to be in Sochi in February.

There will be food at the Tankard. Box lunches will be available from noon to 2 p.m.

in theâ&#x20AC;? Lockmaster Houseâ&#x20AC;? in the upper level of the arena.

In the evenings from 5:30 to 7 p.m. delicious meals will be provided by local caterers and served by volunteers. Tickets for the meals are limited. They can be purchased daily at the event.

The ticket package order forms are available online at www.thedominiontankard2014.ca, at the arena and curling clubs in the region. Any of the packages would make a great Christmas gift. Single draw tickets are available.

As described earlier, each

draw consists of five 10-end games and there will 11 draws in the round robin. For more information, please call 613-8123372 or the Smiths Falls Curling & Squash Club at 283-4700 or curling@bellnet.ca Slide into the Falls; do not miss The Tankard!

Books, documentaries shed light on JFK conspiracy theories lieve one individual, Lee Harvey Oswald, was the lone shooter in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas on that terrible afternoon half a century ago.

The majority opinion expressed to me falls in line with what recent polls south of the border have discovered. In the lead-up to the 50th anniversary last Friday, one wellknown American polling firm found 61 per cent of those they questioned believe there was an organized plot behind Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assassination.

What is particularly interesting about conducting a survey about JFKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slaying now is that so many millions of Americans who were alive in 1963 are now deceased.

That supports my feeling that people today are just as intrigued by this remarkable story. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real life murder mystery that knows no boundaries!

Last week I said I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the conclusions contained in the Warren Commission Report.

Obviously many readers also disagree with the contents of that lengthy document. The 889-page outline purports to be the final word on Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assassination.

As a career journalist my main interest is the news. It seems much of what we read and hear today is bad news although I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it was much different in the past.

Human beings continue to be fascinated by negative occurrences.

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

I will admit Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had my fill of the Rob Ford story. By contrast I can never get enough information about the Kennedy assassination!

During the 50th anniversary week there was a veritable media smorgasbord of material about the assassination. Some stories and television documentaries went straight up the middle, focusing on the history and outlining familiar details about a news story that will probably never completely fade.

Different ethics To me the best of the many TV documentaries was a PBS show which focused on how CBS Television handled coverage of the Kennedy assassination.

I found the news ethics of the day particularly intriguing. Especially considering that the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;newsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;ethicsâ&#x20AC;? are rarely used together at present.

Currently details about major events are instantly disseminated via the Internet, with little thought as to whether the facts have been checked and no concern about how incorrect information might affect those involved, their fami-

lies and friends. That approach is not ethical in my opinion!

Fifty years ago CBS-TV and famed news anchor Walter Cronkite (the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;anchormanâ&#x20AC;? was coined for him) demonstrated a refreshingly different style. In fact Cronkite refused to go to air with word of Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death until it had been officially announced. That despite the fact CBS could have been scooped by other networks! He hesitated despite the fact his reporters had solid information from reliable sources that the president had suc-

cumbed to his wounds.

Cronkite was worried how such terrible news would affect his audience. A far cry from the carefree â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some would say â&#x20AC;&#x153;carelessâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; approach of the electronic media today.

To be fair there were also downsides to news reporting 50 years ago. In Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case an â&#x20AC;&#x153;unwritten codeâ&#x20AC;? meant journalists turned a blind eye to the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many peccadillos. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m referring to the numerous sexual liaisons we now know JFK engaged in while he was president.

A certain Bill Clinton wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite as fortunate in that regard.

So, why should we care about an event that, despite the depth of the tragedy, happened 50 years ago?

To answer my own question, I believe one has only to consider that the murder victim in this case was the most powerful man in the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;free world.â&#x20AC;? Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death undoubtedly altered the course of history in his country, Canada and the world. Of course See COLUMN page 22

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I was confident there would be great interest in the column I wrote last week to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the assassination of United States President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Still, I could not have guessed how many readers would respond to my request for feedback on the murder of JFK. There must be a lot of people from my generation reading this newspaper? Either that or the assassination and its aftermath spans the generations and continues to be of general interest? I suspect thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mixture of both elements involved. But the volume of email I have received from readers on this subject is remarkable.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reply to every message. But thank you to those who read last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column and took the time to tell me where they were on Nov. 22, 1963 or to share details about how JFKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assassination affected them and their families. As I said in the previous article, the sudden and unexpected death of the young president was a massive shock. Kennedy inspired a generation and millions of people, including countless Canadians, were personally affected by his death.

The majority of my correspondents feel the assassination was the culmination of a conspiracy.

In other words more than one person was involved. Others be-

it matters. Besides, who wouldn’t want to know the real story behind such a world-shaking tragedy?

Many people, including me, don’t believe we have the whole truth in this case. But what evidence is there to support such a contention?

I believe the Warren Commission had only two objectives after the new president, Lyndon Baines Johnson, appointed them. First, they set out to prove Oswald was

the lone assassin. Secondly they wanted it known that Jack Ruby was the only person involved in Oswald’s subsequent murder.

Those were the key findings of the commission. But there is compelling evidence the contents of the final report were altered to enhance their conclusions.

Many of those who have closely studied JFK’s assassination believe the shortcomings of the Warren report are best detailed in the pages of author Sylvia Meagher’s book ‘Accessories After the Fact:

The Warren Commission, the Authorities and the Report.’ Those in the know consider Ms. Meagher’s 1967 work, which I read many years ago, to be the definitive volume on this extremely important subject. Her extensive research led Meagher to pen three books about the Kennedy assassination.

Numerous theories There have been literally hundreds of books written about JFK’s murder. One estimate I heard last week is more than 1,000. Most are based on one theme or present one

conclusion. I believe many of the ideas presented are highly questionable. For example, a book that claims the Masonic Order was behind Kennedy’s killing. Those kinds of “theories” are a dime a dozen!

What sets Meagher’s second book apart is that she lets readers draw their own conclusions.

Obviously there is a big clue to her personal feelings in the title.

Beyond that she simply presents documented information.

During the time the Warren Commission was in session Meagher was a professional indexer. She undertook the mammoth task of cataloguing every page and exhibit of the Warren report.

Eventually she decided to compare the contents of the final document to the recorded testimony of the many witnesses who appeared before the commission.

She found literally scores of discrepancies. Witness testimony

is either missing from the report or it had clearly been altered. Surely that must have been done to reinforce the report’s conclusions?

Meagher meticulously catalogued the apparent differences and outlined the obvious conflicts in print. The result is a book which is quite remarkable.

Meagher doesn’t point fingers.

Instead she leaves it to the reader to make up their own mind based on the information she presents.

Peter Dale Scott, a noted Canadian-born JFK assassination researcher, is one of those who weighs in with an opinion about Meagher’s book. A website I visited quotes Scott as saying, “In her book she (Meagher) shows unequivocally the methods of distortion, suppression and apparent intimidation which were used to arrive at untenable conclusions.”

Those who have analyzed Meagher’s extensive work feel that based on her considerable research the findings of the War-

ren Commission can’t possibly be taken seriously.

Unfortunately at this point the book is out of print and difficult to obtain. Meagher died in 1989 at age 67. But if you are interested, why not check your local library or used book store? You might just come up with a copy. It is definitely worth the read.

To me a comment made (numerous times) by the late Jesse Curry, chief of the Dallas Police Department at the time of the Kennedy assassination, is extremely telling.

“We have no proof that Oswald fired that weapon (rifle) at President Kennedy that day,” Curry said.

To me that statement alone calls into question the very tidy conclusions contained in the Warren Commission report.

This Week’s Pets

may take some work to build trust and a relationship, but poor Pebbles deserve a home to call her own and a companion that will spend time giving love and building trust in the relationship.

Ariel Meet Ariel! This striking little lady is a very affectionate tabby who closely resembles a Bengal cat with her spectacular black markings. Ariel is about one-year-old Pebbles Pebbles is a large, mature nine and has already delivered a set of and a half-year-old female with a lovely black and white tuxedo coat.

Pebbles is quick to let you know her likes and dislikes – she does enjoy being petted but will let you know when she has had enough.

She prefers to be the only cat in the home, and while she resides in the cat condo with others, she keeps to herself and prefers to wait for her forever home in silence.

She would enjoy a quiet home with a mature companion who will take the time to let her be comfort- kittens. She is now spayed and able and adjust to home life after ready to start her own life of her being surrendered to the shelter. It own. She is truly sweet natured, clean and sociable.

She would be an ideal family cat, enjoys being held and petted, looking at windows and playing as all young cats should. One look at Ariel and you are sure to fall in love.

Dogs Max Imagine the Arctic carved out of one perfect, white and black face,

This week’s featured pets Cats

and that’s the face of Max. As personable as he is beautiful, as affectionate as he is good-natured, Max captures hearts wherever he goes.

Known as a true gentleman, he is extremely friendly, sociable and playful around people. He walks very well on leash, and because he loves to run and explore, he eagerly invites anyone and everyone to join him.

Enthusiastic, intelligent and only moderately vocal, his moderate to high energy level calls for plenty of exercise to tire him out, and enough stimulating activities to constantly challenge him. If you think you can keep up with handsome and happy Max, invite him over to your place to play. Then hold onto him. Forever.

lessness; identifying barriers and solutions to the issue; providing tools and resources for those who work to alleviate homelessness; encouraging networking and sharing of best practices; and engaging individuals, communities and the private sector in solutions.

Cornerstone Landing provides rent supplements, gift certificates, and other supports as long as the affected individual stays in school and working towards course completion.

A report issued earlier this year identified Canada’s homeless population at upwards of 300,000 people, with a third of them young people. Raising

trustees in the spring of 2013 to recognize and share with the system innovative teaching and work practices.

Trustee Caroll Carkner said the board is seeking a student design because she has seen the high quality of artwork produced by UCDSB students. “It also makes them a part of the process,” said Carkner of the decision to seek a student design.

“We know that there are innovative, artistic students out there in our system, and we want to give them an opportunity where they can see their artistic ideas having a real impact by acknowledging the work

of our innovative employees.”

Designs must meet the following guidelines: • The contest is open solely to students within the Upper Canada District School Board and the T.R. Leger School of Adult, Alternative and Continuing Education.

• Designs must be no more than 21 centimetres tall and 12 centimetres wide.

• The winning design must bear the UCDSB logo, the title “Trustee Innovation Award” and have space allocated on which to display the winner’s name, workplace, and year.

• While artists are able to use any media, entrants must include with their entry a list of materials required to create the award.

The overall cost of producing each award must be no more than $50 – taxes included.

• Students can work alone or as a team.

• Designs must be submitted to trustee liaison officer Lisa Raymond in electronic format by no later than May 31, 2014. Entries can be emailed to: lisa.raymond@ ucdsb.on.ca.

The awards will be presented to winners in the fall of 2014.

the Roof notes that families are the fastest-growing segment of Canada’s homeless population, and for the next three years, the national organization will place a special focus on developing a preventative/early intervention framework which addresses family homelessness.

A report on youth joblessness issued by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives last month also painted a bleak outlook for young people trying to break out of the cycle of poverty, revealing that Ontario has the highest rate of youth unemployment of any province outside of Atlantic Canada. Figures compiled by the Ottawa-based think tank reveal that youth joblessness figures rival those of the worst-hit areas of

the US rust belt.

“It is no understatement to point out that a lot of young people are in crisis, with one symptom of that crisis being insecure and precarious housing, couch surfing, and never knowing from day to day if one will have a place to study, to have some private, quiet time, to have a shower,” explains Cornerstone Landing’s community coordinator, Matthew Behrens.

“That’s why we’re really honoured to be part of Raising the Roof, which has been in this struggle to end homelessness for the long haul. We’re also incredibly lucky to have such supportive local boosters in the stores that are selling the toques.”

Anyone interested in pur-

chasing a toque to support Cornerstone Landing can visit Jo’s Clothes (39 Foster Street), Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer (at the customer service desk), and Fiddleheads Bar and Grill, across from Stewart Park.

While Cornerstone is currently working to keep a number of young people both housed and in school, the organization also provides guest speakers for local churches, service clubs, and other groups interested in learning more about the issue and how they can get involved.

Studio Theatre dishes up Christmas feast of laughter for whole family

By JOAN SONNENBURG

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;During my childhood in England, it was always a Boxing Day treat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun. The whole family can go â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Grandma, Granddad and all the little kids can go as a family outing,â&#x20AC;? says Patricia Parry, director of Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas pantomime, The Wonderful World of Mother Goose.

And that is just what Studio Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming production is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fun for the cast, fun for the crew, and most of all, fun for the entire audience, youngsters and oldsters alike. This tale is not a traditional nursery rhyme. Far from it.

The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose is filled with madcap characters, zany and sometimes naughty dialogue, and classic songs such as Shall We Dance, Skip to My Lou, The Man I Love.

The story involves the familiar fairy

tale character oaf Mother Goose, played as you have never seen her by actor Joe Weber. Poor old Mother Goose and her family are being thrown out of their humble cottage by the evil Clarence Creep, played by Hugh McCullogh.

The Fairy Queen (Norma Cummings), decides to help her out by sending Priscilla, (Brenda Roberts) a magical goose who proceeds to lay golden eggs. Although Brenda has never been on stage in her life, and Norma is more often than not the director or lighting techmician), they are both finding it great fun to be on stage in this play. Brenda is just thankful she has no lines.

However, as in any self-respecting fairy tale, the question arises, can such great riches bring Mother Goose lasting happiness?

The question is answered by a cast of other characters who involve the audi-

ence in this wacky caper, with Discord, the evil fairy played by Krista Duff, pitted against Harmony, the good fairy, played by Laurie Reesor. Into the fray come Mother Gooseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silly son Billy (Lucas Tennant), her daughter Jill (Satinka Schilling), Jillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiance Colin (Connor Lyon), and two comical characters, Onions and Sage, played by veteran actor/director David Parry and Paul Joyce who is usually happier promoting Studio Theatre productions than acting in them.

A mixed cast to be sure, but they all have one thing in common: they are having the time of their lives. Those who have done previous pantos like Norma Cummings love this form of theatre. Krista Duff, who has not done a pantomime since high school, enjoys the general atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is funny,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

a fun-filled atmosphere with everybody just being crazy.â&#x20AC;?

Fun for the cast, but even more fun for the audience members from fouryear-olds to 94-year-olds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kids go to, you call something out and they tell you to be quiet,â&#x20AC;? says Lucas Tennant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pantomime gives a true sense of entertainment and participation. Even if a kid calls out something, there is no real rule. Everyone who shows up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; tech people, audience members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is a vital part of it.â&#x20AC;?

The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose runs Dec. 5, 6, 7, 13 and 14 at 7:30 PM, with three matinees at 2 p.m. on Dec. 8, 14 and 15. Advance tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children under 12 at the Book Nook (cash only) and Tickets Please (major credit cards accepted, fees apply, (613) 485-6434 R0032315052_1114

Arts – Humbug! The Mississippi Mudds of Carleton Place will be performing their Christmas pantomime Humbug! this holiday season.

Mr. Scrooge has transported himself from the realm of the 1800s and brought us into the 20th century and the cast of the original characters has been slightly augmented with amusing, shall we say, psychedelic actors. Since no panto is complete without a dame, this show has not one dame, but two – Mrs. Slapan (played by Bryan McManus) and Mrs. Tickle (played by Laurie Dickson), the bumbling ladies from H.E.L.L. (Home for the Elderly Ladies League).

The topsy-turvy world of pantos includes the lead roles of Scrooge and Dickens being played by female actors in this version. Meredith Millman has taken on the role of Scrooge while Trish Smith narrates the story as Charles Dickens. Along with the Cratchet family, the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, the people Scrooge interacts with throughout his life, and the townspeople, it’s sure to be a crowdpleasing performance for all who dare to attend!

Join Tiny Tim, Scrooge, Marley, Fezziwig, Belle and the rest of the cast for a yuletide story that will get you into the Christmas spirit with laughter and tears, singing and dancing.

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 are $20 and matinees, $15. Tickets will be sold at the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce (132 Coleman Street, 613-257-1976).

Grade 10 girls get a taste of trades at recent UCDSB workshop

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kitana Albers is not a â&#x20AC;&#x153;girlyâ&#x20AC;? girl.

So she fit right in Nov. 18 as she and 25 other Grade 10 girls from schools across the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) participated in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Living the Skilled Lifeâ&#x20AC;? workshop at the Kemptville Campus of the University of Guelph.

The event was held to give young

girls a taste of the trades and get them thinking about them as a career choice.

The St. Lawrence Secondary School student learned about heavy diesel engines, got to â&#x20AC;&#x153;virtual weldâ&#x20AC;? using a welding simulator and then used the real thing to make a jewelry stand, before getting her hands dirty learning proper planting techniques in

the greenhouse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like traditional girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stuff like watching kids and making dinner,â&#x20AC;? Albers said of her reason for attending the trades day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really my thing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wanted to keep my options open and try it out and see if there is something here I want to do,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Albers was one of about 150 students attending one of five trades education days being held last week at the agricultural university as part of the event. Thirty students a day from both the UCDSB and Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario are participating in the event, which will expose young girls to the value of the trades. They began the day hear-

ing from female welderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apprentice Elizabeth Woods about the value of working in the trades, including a good wage, the ability to be creative in your work and the availability of future jobs.

The availability of future jobs is why the day was funded by a See TRADES page 33

special grant from the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, and organized by the university in cooperation with Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) facilitators from both boards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ontario is going to experience a real shortage of experienced tradespeople in the coming years,â&#x20AC;? said Alex MacDougall, OYAP facilitator

Connected to your community

for the UCDSB. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hopefully going to get young girls interested in the trades to help fill that need.â&#x20AC;?

Studies suggest that in Ontario alone 26 per cent of the skilled trades workers will be retiring over the next ten years, said MacDougall.

The day offered the introductory speech by Woods, followed by the chance to attend three sessions of nearly 90 minutes each in which the girls got a taste of the welding, hor-

ticulture and diesel engine mechanics trades.

While Albers attended the event because of an interest in horticulture, she particularly enjoyed the chance to use a welding simulator at the event.

The school brought in a simulator made by Lincoln Electric.

Just like a video game, each girl who went through the simulation put on a helmet that took them into a virtual world. When they used the weld-

erâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wand on a special piece of angle iron, they saw a weld run across the iron through the simulatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helmet.

The machine then evaluated the work for important aspects of a weld such as travel angle, work angle, travel speed and position of the weld.

Each student received a score out of 100 to let them know how they did.

In the diesel seminar, the girls learned about the tools used in mainte-

nance, saw different kinds of engines, and had a competition in two-women teams to see which team could bolt a tire in place the fastest.

In the horticulture seminar, the girls toured the greenhouse, were introduced to plants such as rosemary and learned how to properly pot and care for an English ivy plant, which they were able to take home with them.

Every Christmas Story Ever Told: Serious silliness at Full Circle Theatre Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Take three wellknown community performers, serious men in their middle years, men with deep plays such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet and Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? on their resumes. Put them together on the stage at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre and tell them to perform Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some). Then get out of the way! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a recipe for serious silliness and BarnDoor Productions December offering is baked to perfection.

David Bird, Joe Laxton and David Jacklin tear up the stage in the funniest, fastest and most nonsensical tribute to the holiday season ever put on stage. It all stems from David Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deep desire to perform Charles Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Christmas Carol, a story he has performed many times, including a one-man version. The other two members of the cast are not quite as enthusiastic and agree on a compromise: theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell every other Christmas story first, then Dickens â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time. The digressions include everything from Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (or rather, for copyright reasons, Gustav The Green-nosed Reingoat), a swing through the Macyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thanksgiving Parade, a few brief commercial interruptions, the Grinch, Frosty The Snowman, Christmas traditions around the world, a fruitcake themed game show and much more, all performed by three people and all in about 90 minutes.

Director Janice Jacklin, with more than 30 years ex-

perience directing everything from Sweeney Todd to The Wizard of Oz, has decided that her part in this is not so much direction as refereeing: blow the whistle and see what happens. When the dust settles, she picks the best of the free-for-all and adds it to the comedy pile. The result is nonstop fun. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music, of course; in fact, Every Christmas Carol Ever Sung.

There are Christmas ghosts and a Christmas goat. There are grumpy old misers and tiny little Whos. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even an inflatable beagle on a doghouse and, you know, nothing says Christmas like giant inflatable doghouses.

Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some),

by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald and John K. Alvarez, is a great family show, with fun for young and old, although we recommend those with a still-unshakeable faith in St. Nick be left with the baby-sitter (no matter what their age). Not only is it entertaining, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational, too: did you know that naughty children in Spain are told they will be abducted by a Santa dressed all in black who will carry them off with him back to Holland â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that children in Holland are told theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be taken to Spain?

Makes you think. In fact, the show does that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; makes you think. In between the laughs and the fun, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting little thread of thought about the place of Christmas in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world. Just a little thought â&#x20AC;&#x201C; enough to give you pause before the next piece of silliness brings the laughter back to the fore. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just

the ticket to generate the holiday spirit.

Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) will run at the Full Circle Theatre (Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

only ground-level, barrier-free theatre), 26 Craig Street, Perth, Dec. 6, 7, 12, 13, 14 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 8 and 15 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 reserved and $22 at the

Owner of Smiths Falls Restaurant & Deli has Retired.

After almost 20 years at Smiths Falls Restaurant, it has been sold. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support and patronage. A very special thanks to all the staff, we couldn’t have done it without you. We developed many friendships and have a large number of people we feel are our restaurant family. We will miss everyone; the good times and laughter we had, the morning regular customers that were there “regardless of the time”.

We appreciate everyone that was there for us.

It’s now come to that time in life for some welldeserved rest and relaxation. We hope you will continue to support the new owner Gina Maclean and we wish her much success.

THOMPSON With the passing of our Mother (Lois) we would like to thank our families, friends and relatives who sent heart warming cards, flowers, dropped off food or shared some little story that involved mother over her 84 years. Even yet we still have people sharing their sympathy with a hand shake or a few kind words.

We are blessed to be surrounded by a neighbourhood of this quality. You will live in our hearts forever. As always whether in joy or sadness the Heckston UCW had the resources to draw on and step in to welcome the community. We thank you for being there. On May 10 2013 there was a part of our lives that stopped and now we would be drawing on all the memories. With help from Victoria Byers and her staff at Byers Funeral Home we were allowed to focus on what was really important at this time, while they looked after all the details in a most respectful and professional manner. Thank you. We would like to thank Rev. Brian Barr for conducting the service for Mother as if he had known her all his life when in fact he had never met her before. We are thankful our community is made up of people like him. Thank you to Pat Sugarman for the music that allowed our thoughts to travel to a special memory we had of mother.

Many thanks to the staff at Bayshore Home Health and Gamma-Dynacare for having a smiling face every time they came to the house no matter what time of the day it might have been.

A special thank you to Dr. Blaine and his staff for all their care and attention to mother’s health requirements over the many years.

Ruth Elinor (nee Robertson) Moore

March 3, 1920 ~ November 24, 2013 A life of ninetythree years defined by a sixty-eight year marriage, a spirit of independence, a zest for life, still driving her car and managing her affairs.

Ruth grew up in the Toronto Beaches experiencing the 30’s and on through the war years as a military bride.

Her husband George (1917 - 2007) was overseas and they would later return to Paris, France at S.H.A.P.E. Headquarters in the ebullient 50’s where they shared the post-war challenges and excitement of building a modern era alongside their American counter-parts. They settled back in Canada in Ottawa plus the Perth area lake country and finally in Perth itself.

Life was a celebration, a hard work ethic with humour and a conservative take on politics well cured by life’s experiences. Still reading, still laughing, still a class act to the last, her spirit lives on. Ruth was a devoted Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother to her three girls Judy (Ken), Meredith (Dave) and Kingsley Ruth. A service and interment will take place at the National Military Cemetery, Beechwood, Ottawa, Ontario Saturday December 21st, 2013 at 10:30 A.M. with a celebration of her life to follow.

As the Christmas Season approaches, donations in memory of Ruth to the Salvation Army would be appreciated.

Arrangements are in the care of Blair & Son Funeral Directors, 15 Gore St. West, Perth, Ontario.

DONNELLY – In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, who passed away November 29, 2003, 10 long years ago.

God saw you were getting tired, And a cure was not to be.

So He put His arms around you And whispered “Come to Me”.

A golden heart stopped beating Hard working hands now rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.

Forever in our hearts, and thoughts Fern, Linda, Marilyn, Cindy and families

“WE REMEMBER”

IN MEMORIAM

FORGET & PRATT – Ernest Forget, October 29, 2011 Todd Pratt, November 7, 2007 Robert G Pratt, November 11, 2010 Patricia L Pratt, November 29, 2012.

God saw you getting tired A cure was not to be.

He wrapped you in his loving arms And whispered ‘Come with me.’

You suffered much in silence, Your spirit did not bend.

You faced the pain with courage, Until the very end.

You tried so hard to stay with us, But your fight was not in vain, God took you to His loving Home And freed you from the pain.

We know you are only a thought away.

Love and hugs, Cindy, Norm & Cecilia

Winter tires and rims fodder for Car Counsellor Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, I heard you on Lake 88 FM radio recently and I have a question. I will be in Florida for three months (January through March).

Car Counsellor

pressure sensors are an important safety feature, none of my customers have ever chosen to use them on winter tire and rim packages (yes, I explain the pros and cons to each customer).

What these customers have chosen to accept is the responsibility we all had before the tire pressure sensing systems came out; we use a tire pressure gauge (available at any auto store for around $10-$15) and check our tires frequently throughout the winter. It only takes a few moments and should be done every few weeks or so and especially before heading out on a long trip.

Having a set of dedicated winter rims has its advantages. It keeps your summer rims (especially if they’re alloys) from being exposed to winter salt and grit which can cause surface pitting and finish peeling. It also reduces the cost of seasonal tire changeovers. Depending on the costs of specific winter rims and your shop’s tire change-over fees, it usually takes at least four winters to break even cost-wise by using winter rims instead of swapping tires on your summer rims.

It’s interesting that most of the latest safety gear on cars like tire pressure sensing systems, collision mitigation systems, lane departure and blind spot warnings all came about because collectively we as drivers have given up part of our responsibility to drive and maintain our cars in a safe manner. None of these systems would be needed if we simply did things ourselves like check our blind spots before lane changes or check our own tire pressures or leave enough distance between us and cars around us according to road and traffic conditions.

If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O.

Old jail cells to be used to store overflow food bank donations

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Food donations to The Table are being put where they belong – behind bars.

Perth town council decided at its Nov. 19 meeting to give otherwise un-rentable old jail cells a new lease on life, housing good food, not bad eggs.

Coun. Jim Boldt reminded council of the original request from The Table Community Food Centre at a committee-of-the-whole meeting the week previous.

“We were requested to provide some parking bays that were sitting vacant at 1881 Rogers Rd.,” said Boldt, home to the old Perth Police Service, which is now partially rented out to the Perth campus of the T.R. Leger School of Adult, Alternative and Continuing Education. “We decided that that space is part and parcel of an area we are trying to get rent for. Our CAO (chief administrative officer John deRosenroll) got involved and came up with a great alternative. The jail cells at the back of the building are un-rentable. The jail cell area would not only be a good area to store the food, but to

keep it safe,” he joked.

The jail cells will be ‘rented’ to The Table for the princely sum of two dollars per year.

“For us, it is utilizing an area that would not be utilizable,” said Boldt.

Fellow Coun. Jim Graff applauded the outsidethe-cell-block thinking.

“I think it is a great idea that we can do this for a food bank that does so much for the town,” said Graff.

Mayor John Fenik informed council that access to the cell area “won’t be a problem,” but couldn’t resist a joke of his own: “The food in the jail cells will not be (on) a life sentence,” he said. “It will receive liberty when needed.”

Nancy Wildgoose, the executive director of The Table, thanked council for its help.

“It’s really more obvious than ever that Perth understands the issue of food security,” said Wildgoose, offering her own joke. She added that the decision brought the food bank full circle, in that its first utilized space was in an old jail.

“We got the ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card and we played it back,” she added.

This family of instrumentalists, singers, and dancers brings a rare level of originality and musicianship to the stage. This originality includes music that Leahy writes, arranges, and produces.

Known for their unique blend of musical styles and genres, their repertoire is more distinct than ever.

They fuse musical styles and genres including symphonic arrangements with their violins, world rhythms with their dance, and haunting choral harmonies with their voices.

Their awards include - Junos for Best New Group, Best Country Group, and Best Instrumental Album, the most played folk/roots song in Canada in 2004 and the Socan award for Folk/Jazz instrumentalist the following year. Their self-titled album rose to number four on the Billboard world music charts and found its way onto the soundtrack of the award-winning movie The Hanging Garden. On stage Leahy brought 175 audiences to their feet when they opened for pop-star Shania Twain on her inaugural world tour.

Community - About 31 years ago, two or three of the Leahy girls were the oldest children of 11 so they took the bus from Peterborough to Carleton Place to take lessons from Gilles Roy. They would then return home by bus to teach their younger siblings what they had learned!

Sixteen years after their last performance in Perth, Leahy can charter their own bus when they return to give a Christmas performance on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. at Perth and District Collegiate Institute.

And Gilles Roy will be there to celebrate!

Start your holiday celebrations with a unique Canadian Celtic family.

A large family of 11 children, they were raised without a television on a farm in the small town of Lakefield, Ont. Their life story was so compelling that it became the subject of an Oscar winning documentary—The Leahys: Music Most of All. Leahy is a Canadian powerhouse of eight musical brothers and sisters who have been playing together their entire lives. The band’s four acclaimed CDs - Leahy, Lakefield, In All Things, Leahy Live - have world-wide sales of over half a million copies.

“Right now, we are running with extension cords,” to get proper lighting, he said.

Black is also looking to hold the line on other spending however, such as the number of fire alarms that are handed out for free that he would like to see paid for in future. “I don’t mind helping someone out if they cannot afford it but most residents can afford it,” said Black. “We seem to be going through quite a number of smoke detectors.”

The detectors cost about $10 each, and five boxes (each containing about 10 detectors per box) have been ordered, and a further 40 detectors have been handed out so far.

“It’s not a lot of money, but it is an education,” said Black, who added that people were far more willing to pay the $10 for a detector than pay a $235 fine for not having working fire alarms in their residence. “It’s a life-saving device.”

The fire department and the township recently held a series of public meetings about the future of the department, and the possibility of amalgamating some stations. As he spoke, a call came through on Black’s radio about a 70-year-old woman requiring a medical assist call, as she was unconscious – underlying one of the major concerns Black heard from residents at the meetings.

“The biggest concerns were medical,” said Black, since the township is home to “a lot of retired people,” he said.

because we haven’t had forest or grass fires,” over the summer months as badly as in years past.

Black reported that he is already planning to make do in some areas where he will not be making replacements.

“I never planned for a new truck this year,” said Black. “Right now, I am only down one truck.”

Another replacement that will not be made is finding someone to fill the role of departing deputy fire chief Chris Beerman. “I want the captains and fire hall captains to stand up,” he said, to fill the void.

Black did add that he would like to hire on someone to handle health and safety matters for the department, at a cost of about $1,000, and is also looking at $18,000 for the purchase of new safety equipment. He also pointed out that the department does not have a contingency fund, so, “if a furnace goes, we are going to be scrambling… it is all getting old.”

Also on his wish list was a thermal imaging camera, which can detect body heat, and costs about $4,500, and could help his men find bodies in a fire. He brought in a demonstration model, which councillors used to see the heat off of their fellow politicians across the room. Black also brought in some of the heavy equipment worn by his men, as a demonstration of the need for about 10 to 20 more regulators to complement the existing 40 regulator Photo by DESMOND DEVOY packs in the arsenal.

NOTICE of Complete Application and Public Meeting CONCERNING A PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 34 OF THE PLANNING ACT, R.S.O. 1990. C.P.13 TAKE NOTICE that, in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended, this notice is to advise that sufficient information has been presented to deem the application being processed under File# D14-AC-05/13 as complete.

A PUBLIC MEETING will be held by the Planning Advisory Committee of the Corporation of the Town of Perth on Wednesday December 18th, at 5:00 p.m., at the Council Chambers, Town Hall, 80 Gore St. E., Perth Ontario, to consider an amendment to Comprehensive Zoning By-law 3358, which is proposed under the above noted application.

THE PURPOSE of the application is to amend Zoning By-law 3358, as it applies to land described as PT Lots D and E, Park Lot 5 Plan 8828 being Part 1 RP R3391 to change the zoning from the Residential Second Density (R2) Zone to a Residential Fourth Density Exception X (R4-X) Zone.

THE EFFECT of the proposed rezoning would be to allow for the development of a three storey, 24 unit apartment building. The requested exemption proposes a reduced landscaped open space from the 4.5 m required under Section 4.22 (a) of the Zoning By-Law, to 1 m between the parking area and the rear lot line.

THE KEY MAP below indicates the location of the lands affected by the proposed zoning amendment in relation to other lands within the municipality.

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

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Corporation of the Town of Perth before the proposed Zoning By-law amendment is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the Town of Perth to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Corporation of the Town of Perth before the proposed Zoning By-law amendment is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

AFTER A DECISION has been made by Council, persons wishing to formally register an objection must, regardless of any previous submissions, file with the Clerk a Notice of Appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board setting out the objection and the reasons in support of the objection and accompanied by the Board’s fee.

Background materials may be examined between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays in the Planning Department at the Town Hall and a copy of the draft By-law will be available no later than one week before the meeting. Please call in advance to ensure staff will be available to provide assistance.

New Algonquin College dean promises long-term leadership solutions need to make sure that there is a demand for it,” and jobs to go with it after graduation. He has already met with Perth’s chief administrative officer, John de Rosenroll, to introduce himself, and to ask pertinent questions such as “where are the gaps? What does the community need that we don’t offer?”

Another challenge for the campus will be promoting programs, and getting the word out, as well as making sure that online content is as up-to-date as possible.

Along with being awarded a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal, on a more personal level, Donaldson’s interests include reading, genealogy, and photography, as evidenced by his photos of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece, though he intends to take advantage of the work-out gym down the hall from

For several years he worked in Vancouver, with Procter and Gamble and the forerunner to Telus, Microtel. He began teaching part-time in 1991 at Vancouver Community College, instructing students in math, marketing, business, law, statistics and organizational behaviour. In time, he worked his way up from coordinator to associate dean to dean of the business, hospitality, auto trades, business and music department at the community college, in 2001.

“I really realized the power of education,” said Donaldson. “I have always been in the college system since.”

work magic here every day.”

He lived on the west coast until 2007, and returned east for several reasons, not the least of which was to be closer to his aging parents, who still lived in Midland. He wanted to re-connect with them and his then-teenaged children wanted to get closer to their roots as well. He landed a job at Algonquin College as the dean of the business program.

Coming from more “strictly academic areas,” being mainly concerned with the business school, he now has a whole campus to look after.

“It is challenging,” he admits. “(But) it is a new opportunity. I’ve enough skill sets to change things… but at the same time, I’m learning.”

The Perth campus was already in the midst of selecting and approving new courses for September 2014, and they are in the middle of what Donaldson calls “market intelligence.”

News – The new dean at Algonquin College’s Perth campus has the distinction of beating Daniel Alfredsson, and waging a friendly Twitter war with Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson.

All in a day’s work for Dave Donaldson, a West Carleton resident who, until a few weeks ago, was the dean of the school of business at Algonquin’s main Ottawa campus.

Donaldson beat the former Ottawa Senators captain not on the ice, but when he went up against the Swede and Watson – and beat both men – for the Community Booster award at the Best Ottawa Business Awards on Thursday, Nov. 21.

Surveying his new Perth office the next afternoon, Donaldson smiled and said, “It’s my empire! I’ve told people they do not have to genuflect.”

Donaldson’s arrival comes at a time when the Perth campus said goodbye to Shelley Carter-Rose, whom many had expected to serve for a longer period, and put an end to a string of short-term deans.

It is on this matter that Donaldson wants to stress his commitment to Lanark County.

“I’m not an acting dean,” he said, pointing to his new business cards, and his new name tag. “I’m not an interim dean. I’m the dean. People shouldn’t say, ‘Oh, there’s another short term dean. I am here to help out as best I can.” One of the ways he will be doing that is by working on getting more permanent leadership at the top, looking at “what qualities a dean should have here, so that it gets the dean it deserves,” to address the high turnover.

Donaldson said he has already taken to Perth, calling it an “amazing place. I am really getting to know Perth.” He has also been glad to see how devoted the staff is to the college and community.

“They are part of it; they believe in it,” he said. “You can’t do any business with people who just walk through.”

Donaldson is used to moving around and adapting quickly to new situations.

He was born and raised in the blue collar, working class Montreal neighbourhood of Verdun. He attended McGill University where he took a B.A. in education, with a major in history and a minor in math. Later in life, he got his MBA from Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C. His parents moved to Midland, Ont. during his first year of university, and he later worked as a tour guide at the shrine of St. Marie among the Hurons. He then worked at what is now called Discovery Bay near Penetanguishene, Ont. He will have been married 40 years in June and has two children – a son, aged 21, who will be returning to university for his Bachelor of Arts in history, and a

his office, to give him a less sedentary hobby.

“I’ve got to get more physical,” he said.

Appropriately enough for a school that houses a heritage institute, which seeks to preserve eastern Ontario’s stone architectural heritage, on Donaldson’s desk are five figurines, and a framed photo, of the world-famous Terra Cotta Warriors, in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, in China.

He was attending a graduation ceremony for a school which has a partnership with Algonquin College in Nanjing.

With some free time available to him this past June, he decided to tick another box on his “bucket list” and visit the famous site.

“With some of our heritage programs, it was good to see,” said Donaldson.

Keep Christmas in the Valley

E

ditorial - It’s a regular scene in the Valley over Christmas time.

A member of your household arrives home from a shopping trip in the city, or in the United States, loaded down with bags from the malls after trying to check off every cousin and aunt on the “to buy for” list.

And the regular process happens, where the money, often earned in the Valley, is cycled back into a store in the city – even it wasn’t for that specific special item, but a generic set of hand towels or body wash.

Or folks are crossing the border to find deals that really aren’t that big of a deal afterall. This week’s Black Friday event will have throngs of people rushing to get the best deal they think they can. Advertisements are enticing folks across the river for the best deals of the season.

Christmas is just around the corner, even if we groan when we hear the Christmas music in the stores. There’s no denying it, that the shopping is going on now in earnest.

This Christmas, think about the best gift options for those around you. Is something sold in the city or across the border available in your own town?

Our area is full of independent retailers and artists who create some unique items, with the dollars you spend being pushed back into the community.

It’s like the 100-mile diet that gained popularity over the past several years.

Imagine completing the 25-kilometre holiday shopping season, and purchasing as many gifts as possible from businesses operated within 25 kilometres of your house.

The options are pretty endless, and you might be amazed at some of the gems you can find without driving into Ottawa or getting stuck at customs while crossing into the United States.

You can cut back, save gas by sticking close to home, and help out local businesses by buying the close-to-home items. And you’ll probably find something unique.

If you don’t see anything that tickles your fancy in the stores, most restaurants and businesses offer gift certificates.

It’s often easier to buy an activity, like a dinner out at restaurant in town, for a hardto-shop-for person.

No matter what preference in sweaters or candle scents your mother-in-law has, everyone eats.

So as the holiday season draws closer by the day, and we start to draft our master plans of gift lists, try and think of what you can purchase from a local retailer or business.

Not only will you be more likely to find a unique gift, but you’ll be giving a gift back to your community.

Honourable Malcolm Cameron

Good thing my cat can’t read Opinion - Last week I found myself mentioning kitty barf on various social media venues.

Probably this column should be about using one’s filters so as to not lose readership, however, I think the kitty barf stuff may be more amusing.

It all started about 17 years ago when we got a cat. Regular readers know him as MacGregor.

Lately I have been calling him Purrsona Non Grata, which I happen to think is very clever.

MacGregor is a short-haired cat, so hairballs have never been a huge problem. Nevertheless he does like to, shall we say, express himself on a fairly regular basis.

There’s a cartoon on our fridge that shows an old lady looking at her “daily to-do list.” First on the list is “Clean up cat barf.” It’s not quite that bad here, but sometimes I feel like that old lady.

MacGregor’s an odd fellow. He has a water fetish. He is in love with his water dish. He will circle around it like a dog preparing for a nap, paw at it a bit and then snuggle up to it and delicately drink.

We keep water next to his food in the kitchen, but we had to set up a pretty little bowl upstairs in the bathroom, too. This provides the added bonus of no one ever being lonely in the bathroom because as soon as you walk in, the cat follows you for a drink.

(By the way, he is not diabetic. He just loves his water. Truly.)

The good thing about him being a “heavy drinker,” which is the silver lining in this little kitty tale, is that when our favourite little hurler decides to do his thing, it tends to be just water.

That’s pretty much the only good thing, though.

Watery barf can be hard to see.

Member of the Baldwin-La Fontaine cabinet, leader of the Clear Grit Movement, champion of temperance and founder of the Courier.

Remember all the stories I told in the summer about ripping up carpet on the stairs and in the upper hallway?

Well, watery or not, kitty barf was a leading factor in our decision to do that. Everyone STEPHANIE GRAY knows that if your flooring is almost entirely hardwood and tile, kitty’s going to do his deed on the lonely bit of carpeting. It’s in the rule book.

MacGregor also has a habit of getting this particular job done in the middle of the night or very early in the morning, while people are sleeping.

(Warning: Sarcasm ahead.)

This is perfect because we were just getting to that stage in life when we were wondering what on earth to do about the fact the kids were sleeping through the night and nothing was waking us up. I mean, who needs a solid sleep? Sleep is for the weak.

Now that the carpet is gone things echo more, so the barfing is even louder than before. There really is little hope of sleeping through it.

Still, the hallway is pretty boring now that all that carpet is gone, so MacGregor has decided to add a new twist. Apparently it’s much more fun to step into Girlchild’s room, where a kitty can find all sorts of clutter – dolls, books, artwork, clothing – upon which to emit his watery vomit. This comes with the added bonus that she always wakes up.

And then we all wake up.

Last week was particularly fabulous because it featured not only two consecutive nights of kittybarf incidents, but Girlchild had a bout of barfies, too. Hers was not water.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, led to a few too many unfiltered references to barf on social media last week.

There, see? Aren’t you glad I shared?

(Let’s blame sleep deprivation.)

Finding Perth’s Buck River, and other mysteries Community - In an effort to solve some local mysteries, the Perth Historical Society has recently launched a new section on its website. Earlier this month, the Society posted a ‘mysteries’ section on its website and highlighting little mysteries about our area history, for which answers or explanation have been lost in time. These mysteries come to the Society from its website readers, or just pop up from old photos and documents, such as postcards.

Sometimes, they are about forgotten stories or about lost locations in our area. Often, they are sent to the Society as questions about “whatever happened to ... ?”

Every two months the PHS will post a new mystery - and ask readers for any information they can provide about it. They will also welcome ideas for other area mysteries and questions. The mystery this month is ‘where was the Buck River in Perth?’. Take a look at the photo posted on the PHS website at www.perthhs.org.

Perth Community Foundation opens advanced silent auction bids The much-anticipated Perth and

District Community Foundation’s annual gala takes place tomorrow (Nov. 29) evening at the Best Western Plus Parkside Inn and Spa, and if you’ve got a keen eye for art, you’ll definitely want to be there.

As part of its silent auction, the PDCF will have two paintings up for grabs. According to the PDCF Executive Director Elaine Turner, these paintings are both unique in their genre and will delight very different, yet discerning, art lovers with budgets at both ends of the spectrum.

munity groups.

Last year, the PDCF contributed to a variety of organizations working to make our amazing community that much better.

Terrific Kids and Quilts When we first welcomed our son into the world last December, my excitement grew for those special moments you get to experience as a parent: having a legitimate excuse to see Disney movies in theatres; eating all his Halloween candy when he goes to bed; and, finally, witnessing his Terrific Kid moment.

No pressure, but I expect to slap that Terrific Kid bumper sticker on my vehicle by 2017. Just kidding – I’ll give him until 2018. The Terrific Kid program is just one of the many ways the Perth Kiwanis Club gives back to the community. The local service club regularly visits 10 area schools to give students a pat on the back for good citizenship and helping to combat bullying. Last

month, the Perth Kiwanis hosted a formation on the race, give Steeves quilt raffle to help raise money for a call at the Perth Brewery at its Terrific Kid program and Arlene 613-264-1087.

Langstaff of Lombardy (ticket number 0515) was the lucky winner.

Thank you, Arlene, for supporting my bumper-sticker dreams. Stay Lanark & District warm.

Walks with Tux We’ve covered a lot of ground presents this week in history, art and childrearing pressures. So let us now turn our attention to sports. The first-ever Perth Brewery Rapids Run will take place this Sunday, Dec. 1 in Lanark Highlands. The non-timed fun run will work as a fundraiser for the local food bank, and a donation gets you a run entry as well as a post-race pizza and beer. The run ranges from a 5- to a 15-km distance and includes several Crossfit maneuvers.

Perth Brewery owner Jeremy Steeves will host the event, which will take place at 507 Whitewater Lane and kids are welcome to participate as are dogs. Now this sounds like a good race for Tux. Although, it’s unlikely he could UÊ > ÞÊ V> Ê>ÀÌ ÃÌÃ complete a burpee. For more in-

Book on counterfeiting, Faking It!, is the real deal

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anyone who thought they would leave a meeting about a book about counterfeiting money with the tools to become selfmade millionaires â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so to speak â&#x20AC;&#x201C; came away sorely disappointed on Nov. 9.

For the rest who came to the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in Almonte for the right reasons were treated to a presentation by authors James Powell and Jill Moxley for their new book Faking It! A History of Counterfeiting in Canada.

The book took three years to write, and drew upon the help of not only the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, but also the Bank of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national currency collection â&#x20AC;&#x201C; once they knew that their book was legit, of course. In fact, the bank even helped out with some of the bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financing too, not surprising since, well, they have a license to print money: no, really.

When it came to statistics and pictures, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we owe a big debt to the RCMP,â&#x20AC;? said Moxley, no pun intended, of course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope that it is fun to read and scholarly at the same time,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Powell had said he wanted to

have the book ready for November â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of 2011, in time for when the Bank of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new $100 bills hit the market. Well, clearly that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, but now they are out in time for the new polymer $5 and $10 bills, so it is more likely that people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially poorer people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will see the changed bills and be thinking about fighting counterfeiting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are probably the most secure and safe currency in the world,â&#x20AC;? said Powell.

Even at this, the criminals are starting to catch up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we were going to press, there was an article we had noticed about the seizure of $100 polymer notes in Vancouver,â&#x20AC;? said Moxley.

Counterfeiting currency is not new. Just as the world has its oldest professions, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as soon as coins came out (about 5,000 BC), five minutes later, there were people trying to rip people off,â&#x20AC;? with fake copies, said Powell.

About 300 years ago in Canada, it was pretty easy to forge money, with the first paper notes issued in what was then New France in 1685. In the 19th century, â&#x20AC;&#x153;photography just sent shock waves through the industryâ&#x20AC;? and by the 20th century, there was

colour photocopying to contend with. Even during the Second World War, the Germans pumped out fake British pound sterling as a weapon of war.

But for as hard as the counterfeiters tried, the authorities had to try that little bit harder, in a seemingly never-ending cat-andmouse game. Canada and the United States became the first countries to sign a treaty dealing with counterfeiting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; made all the more necessary because of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part in becoming a haven for counterfeiters.

Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eastern Townships in the 19th century were a hotbed for the manufacturing of fake American dollars, in towns like Farnham, Dunham, and Stanstead. And, remarkably, the counterfeiters had the law on their side. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no law in Canada against counterfeiting foreign money,â&#x20AC;? said Powell, only against illegally manufacturing Canadian money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just hopped across the border and set up shop. The American banks did not take too kindly to this.â&#x20AC;?

In 1809, the governor of Vermont complained to Governor General Sir James Craig, and in 1810, the law was changed.

Two years later, however, came the War of 1812, and suddenly, but not surprisingly, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Canadians were not inclined to help the U.S.â&#x20AC;? Even after the war, French-Canadians and Loyalists both were not in the mood to help their former enemies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a mainstream indus-

try,â&#x20AC;? said Powell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a lot of community support for this.â&#x20AC;?

But some of the counterfeiters got greedy and when they turned their attention to the local currency, the tide began to turn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That caught the attention of the authorities,â&#x20AC;? said Powell.

wrote his autobiography in 1798 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while still in his 20s. He trained to be a priest, and in his various schemes and swindles would pretend to be a physician. He was caught in Quebec in 1810, and sought the pardon of Sir Craig. He was found guilty and sentenced to transportation in Botany Bay, Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but then, remarkably, was pardoned by Sir Craig.

During the War of 1812, â&#x20AC;&#x153;he became a spy,â&#x20AC;? said Powell, with a dramatic pause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know for who.â&#x20AC;?

In time though, Burroughs found religion, converted to Roman Catholicism, moved to Trois Rivieres, married a devout woman, and learned French. His daughter, in time, became a nun in the Carmelite order. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He died a pillar of the community in the 1840s,â&#x20AC;? said Powell, a sort-of backhanded compliment Canadian immigrant success story, who is sometimes referred to as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;American sinner, Canadian saint.â&#x20AC;?

But as recently as nine years ago, dark counterfeit characters, less Robin Hood and more Tony Soprano, were on the rise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a couple of periods where the counterfeiters had the upper hand,â&#x20AC;? said Powell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In 2004, counterfeit (money) reached epidemic proportions,â&#x20AC;? when about 15 per cent of people had knowingly come into contact with fake money.

Moxley detailed the work done on Project Ophir, which saw its first lead in the Ottawa area in 2005. A Brinks truck was making its rounds when the driver â&#x20AC;&#x153;noticed (that) a grey Hyundai had been at each locationâ&#x20AC;Ś tracking along behind him. He got nervous and called the cops,â&#x20AC;? said Moxley.

However, through a combination of bad timing, bad luck, and perhaps outright stupidity, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the two fellows hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even noticed the Brinks truck.â&#x20AC;? They were, instead, just trying to pass fake notes at the different locations. The RCMP took over the investigation, and began a 10 month operation, at one point paying $125,000 to purchase fake bills.

The operation led to a raid north of Toronto where two kingpins were caught

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and later released on bail.

In all $4.7 million in fake money was seized during the 2006 raid. But if there was a 2006 raid, that means that there must have been a second raid? Indeed, there was, for the two kingpins dropped below the radar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are not nice people,â&#x20AC;? said Moxley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is organized crime.â&#x20AC;?

The two men were again arrested, and given 12 and 10 years each, but not before $4.2 million was collected at a raid in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If that amount of money gets into circulationâ&#x20AC;Ś you are looking at real harm to the currency,â&#x20AC;? said Moxley, even though some of the money had already entered circulation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The $20 bills are the workhorse (of paper money).â&#x20AC;?

In years past, stores on nearby Mill Street had been victims of fake money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even fake $5 bills. When asked if, legally, stores were within their rights not to accept $100 or even $50 bills, Powell replied that â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to them what they are willing to accept. They can say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I will only accept sea shells.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Because criminals had been using fake $1,000 bills in a lot of their nefarious deeds, the Bank of Canada decided not to issue any more, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;got rid of the $1,000 bill because of the underground drug trade.â&#x20AC;?

Another curb on criminals is that, eventually, the money will be taken out of circulation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as it gets to a bank, it is caught,â&#x20AC;? said Powell.

With the rise of debit cards, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;use of currency is dropping a lot,â&#x20AC;? said Powell, making counterfeiting lose some of its appeal to the criminal element. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People use cash for relatively small transactionsâ&#x20AC;Ś but as more people use debit, this will go down.â&#x20AC;?

Even so, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the onus is on you to check,â&#x20AC;? said Moxley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pay attention to the kinds of notes you get. Notes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be really good to be passed,â&#x20AC;? she said, pointing to one $10 bill that had its purple shaded in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with crayon.

As the authors finished up their session, they encouraged the assembled to pick up a copy for Christmas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though, preferably more than one, lest they buy a single copy, and photocopy the rest.

green boughs, the uplifting sound of a Bach fugue pervading the air, and the sight of friends, neighbours and fellow shoppers will all combine to put you in the spirit of the season.

The Nick of Time Show is more than just another craft show. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a juried show with high quality, one of a kind gift items fashioned by over 20 skilled local artisans. It is also a unique shopping experience in one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most elegant heritage homes.

Highlands library chides province for not growing funding desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – The treasurer of the Lanark Highlands public library is slamming the province for not increasing its library funding at all in the past 27 years.

“The main problem is with the Province of Ontario,” said Shannon Adams during the Lanark Highlands Township special budget meeting of the committee-of-the-whole on Monday, Nov. 25. “We have never gotten an increase from the province. It remains the same, but our costs keep going up.”

In the 27 years that one of her staffers has been involved with the Lanark Village institution, she has never seen the fund of $12,865 go up – going back to the days when David Peterson was premier.

Adams did concede that they received a one-time top-up some

years ago, when the province admitted that, “yes, we should be getting more,” through its library funding formula, which is based on population, but that that never translated into more money.

As a result, the library is having to partner with the Civitan Club, to fundraise for things like a new e-reader.

“We are not allowed to do fundraising on our own,” said Adams. “We need to have a Friends of the Library (group), but we haven’t been able to set one up… Our Civitan Club is our registered Friends of the Library (group).”

Coun. Tom Lalonde told council that the province was putting the library, and council itself, in a bad spot.

“It’s not fair (for the library) to keep going to the municipality for a top-up, when the province never gives more,” said Lalonde.

Coun. Bob Mingie added that “there is no lack of help from the Civitan. But they don’t want to lead on the dance.”

Sick leave Adams is looking in to a sick leave benefit for library staffers, with a possible fund of $2,100, though not all the money would get used up in a year if staff don’t use up all of their sick leave.

Lalonde pointed out that twothirds of the library staff suffer from what he jokingly called “grey hair syndrome,” but that they did need some protection.

“If they were sick (before) it was a straight loss for them,” said Lalonde, who added that he wanted library staff to know that “we do care and we want you to stay here, but we are a small library and we can only do so much.”

Circulation numbers are also up from last year.

Community - Come experience the magic that is Perth’s annual Santa Claus parade Saturday, Dec. 7 at 5 p.m. This year’s theme is “A Bear’s Special Christmas.” Already various types of bear-themed floats have been registered, but it’s not too late for even more.

Floats are to be in the parking lot of ‘The Factory’ by 4 p.m. and judging will begin at 4:15 p.m. Floats will be judged in the following categories: industrial, commerce, non-commercial, schools, animal, service clubs, and individuals, but everyone will receive a participation ribbon.

Marching alongside the parade floats will be the Steel Drum Band, the Perth Citizen’s Band, and the Carleton Place Sea Cadet Marching Band. Members of the Perth Lions Club will be collecting cash donations and new toys along the parade route on behalf of the Salvation Army.

The parade will begin on Sunset Boulevard at the old Brown Shoe factory. It will travel down Sunset onto Wilson where it will continue downtown, following Foster Street to Gore where it will finish at the Queen Elizabeth Elementary School.

The idea to have a night parade was influenced by the Winchester night parade they had had for years. The first Perth one was in 1997. That year’s theme was the “Northern Lights.”

“I started volunteering back in ’93 or ’94 when the Perth Chamber of Commerce ran the parade and have enjoyed it ever since,” said Sheri Mahon-Fournier, organizer of the Perth Santa Claus parade, when asked about her parade experience.

After the parade, the participants can enjoy free hot chocolate and hot dogs in the gym at QE. “It’s a great gathering spot for parents to pick up their children who were on the floats,” said Mahon-Fournier.

Call her at 613-812-1215 or email sherisells@hotmail.com for more information or to book a float.

Perth Blue Wings’ donation to Nugent family tops $49,000

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Sports – The Perth Blue Wings kicked off their Friday night home game on Nov. 22 with a cheque presentation to the Nugent family.

On behalf of their son Brett, who was injured in a game in Perth last month, the Perth Blue Wings donated $49,211 in a special ceremonial puck drop, to his parents Jim and Cathy Nugent.

“It was such a pleasure to meet them and hear about Brett’s progress,” said Christine Lyon, director of the Perth Blue Wings and marketing sales/media relations specialist. “Every day is a blessing to them as he works hard on his recovery and every small step forward is great progress for him.”

The Blue Wings held a fundraising event on Nov. 15, Fill the Rink for Brett, where donations from the gate, the sale of T-shirts, and the 50/50 raffle were matched

by McLean Insurance. A website also collected donations for the young hockey player, which reached that incredible amount.

“It was an honour to host a fundraiser to support this wonderful family,” added Lyon, “and we wish Brett much strength on his road to recovery.”

The Shawville Pontiacs player was checked into the boards then landed wrong, as he sustained a severe spinal injury. He’s been recuperating in hospital ever since. A Twitter feed (@BrettNugent15) stated Nov. 19 that the young man began physiotherapy this week and was able “to leave his hospital room yesterday in a wheelchair for the first time and

enjoy some independence.” The ventilator which helped him to breathe, has also been removed so he can resume eating “certain solid foods.”

Brett’s sister Chantel expressed her gratitude on Facebook’s social media page that supports her brother, (https:// www.facebook.com/brettnugent15): “Sooooo incredible thanks everyone for your amazing generosity!! xo xo”

Perth 5 Stittsville 3 In a home game Friday night that saw the Blue Wings face the Stittsville Royals, it was a bit of a battle before the boys settled down to claim a 5-3 win.

Perth had an early stranglehold on Stittsville with 1-0 lead after the opening period, but then lost that lead to trail 2-1 before the end of the second frame.

Perth shot back in the final period to score three unanswered goals for the win.

Captain Blair Barr had Perth’s opening goal and only marker of the first with help from Jimmy Pearson and Zac Rodier at the 11:33 mark.

In the second, Austin Lamont, from Pearson and Barr, had the team’s only goal of that period, which came just 22 seconds in.

Stittsville responded with three goals to take the short-lived lead as the credit went to Kevin Groulx, Jake Oliver and Jordan Cale. Assists went to Tanner Knight, Kevin Groulx, Talmadge Farnes, Jeremy Nichols and Blake Martyniuk.

In the third, it was all Perth with Pearson setting the pace with two goals that bookended Steven Plescia’s marker. Rodier and Barr assisted on two, with

The Blue Wings were hit with just three minor offences, while Stittsville had two misconducts.

Jeremy Wright earned the win in the crease, with Quinten Abrams taking the loss.

Just 212 fans took in the Friday night contest.

Renfrew 5 Perth 0 Sunday’s afternoon game was a boost for the United Way and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County on tap for the offi-

cial puck drop.

The Renfrew Timberwolves (11-6-1-1) who sit tied for first in the Valley Division with 24 points made short order of the afternoon however, as they blanked the home team by a 5-0 count.

The win gave the Timberwolves the points needed to tie the Arnprior Packers (11-6-2-0).

Perth (8-9-0-1) sits with 17 points in third place, ahead of the Almonte Thunder (6-8-1-3) with 16, Shawville (7-9-1-0) with 15 and Stittsville (7-12-1-0), also with 15 points.

Coming up The Blue Wings are on the road for the next three games, and won’t have a home game until Friday, Dec. 6 when they entertain the Almonte Thunder at 7:30 p.m.

In the meantime, catch them in Renfrew on Nov. 29 in an 8 p.m. start. Saturday the boys will take on Clarence at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena in Ottawa as part of the league’s Fall Showcase.

Wright was in the crease for Puck drop is noon. Tuesday, Dec. Perth for the entire game and was 3, they will be in Almonte for a 7:30 p.m. puck drop. tagged with the loss.

Sunday’s Renfrew win was sparked by five goals from five different players.

Scoring for the visitors were Kurtis Leclaire, Scott Conroy in the first; Luke Lapierre and Pat Dick in the second and Sean Kyte in the third.

Brayden St. Germain earned the win for Renfrew with 24 shots saved in his shutout performance.

Educating Mayan girls through fundraising efforts

In the beginning It was in the spring of 2008 when students at Glen Tay Public School learned about Ryan’s Well and decided to raise funds for a cause.

Walker said she suggested the Guatemala Stove Project, and arranged to have founder of the group, Tom Clark, speak to a class at the school. They then raised enough money for four stoves.

The following year, Walker and her husband Keith Walker and Phill Brackenbury made a commitment to support nutrition program in Panimaquim at a school built in memory of Tom Clark and Rita Redner’s son, Sam who was killed in a tragic accident.

Lisa Walker was the teacher at Glen Tay who

Francisca Eneteria Lopez with her father Miguel are pictured here. In the back left is Keith Walker and beside him is Paul Hauraney, two members of the board of directors with the Guatemala Stove Project. initiated sales of bracelets to support the school project.

In 2011, four girls from Glen Tay Public School raised $4300 to have a chicken coop built in Panimaquim to sustain the nutrition of the children at the school, this included a $1,000 prize which they in the Upper Canada District School Board’s “Save the World” competition, noted Lisa Walker.

“Though I had retired, two of the original four girls and two of their friends approached Keith and me and explained that they really wanted to continue to raise funds for Guatemala. My first visit to Guatemala and a visit to the Escuela Los Ninos de Sam ( School of the Children of Sam. Or Sam’s School). Here we meet seven men and women from the remote village of Chuicutama who had walked six hours to meet GSP volunteers and ask for funding for their children, $100 a year per child, to continue their education. Public funding ends at Grade 6.”

The girls raised this money through bake sales, craft sales and winning a competition in Toronto called “The Global Change Maker Award “in January 2013. They were also given a $2,000 donation by Omya following a presentation there.

They were recognized for their endeavours at a national conference.

The four students were all in Grade 8: Kara

Cameron, Kate Thornton, Emelia Bowie-Buffman and Lilli Strong. They were awarded a provincial “Global ChangeMaker Award” by the Ontario Council for International Cooperation (OCIC) for their work with the Guatemala Stove Project’s “Students Helping Students” initiative.

“Currently, the girls have moved on to high school Keith and I are doing the fundraising to keep these kids in school,” Lisa Walker said.

“We have contacted both high schools (in Perth) who are willing to help with some events: St. John’s through their Justice Action Committee and PDCI through their Me To We program.”

She has also approached the retired teachers of Ontario for funding and The University Women’s group in Perth for support.

Costs of education are: Premario, Grades 1 to 6 is publicly funded; Basico, or Grade 7 to 9 costs on average, $ 100 per year per student, and can be more if a child has to travel or board; Magisterio, or Grades 10 to 13, costs on average, $1,500 per year per student; and for Universidad, the average cost is $3,000 per year per student.

“A girl who is educated helps the family, helps the health and helps the wellbeing of the family,” said Lisa Walker. “And it also improves the gross national product of a country.”

Community - As a fundraiser for a scholarship program in Guatemala and in celebration of International Human Rights Day, the Guatemala Stove Project will be showing the groundbreaking and internationally renowned film, “Girl Rising” on Friday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. in the Mason Auditorium at Perth and District Collegiate Institute.

For the past two years GSP student volunteers have supported 13 young Mayan students with scholarships, making it possible for them to continue in school. These rural Mayan children will begin their third year of Basico (Grade 9 here) in January.

“We are pledged to continue our support for as long as they can and will continue in school until they graduate,” said Lisa Walker, volunteer with the group organizing the evening’s show. She is also a retired teacher.

“It’s absolutely critical,” she said of the fundraiser, “because a lot of the girls don’t even make it into the doors of education. A lot of the girls are expected to stay and help care for families and help with the little ones as soon as they are able to. The cycle continues, so it’s (education) really important.”

All proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward the GSP Scholarship Fund and will be delivered through the Mayan non-profit partner, Asociacion Mujeres Ixchel.

Admission will be $10 and $5 for students and seniors.

SAFETY TIPS Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Installing a carbon-monoxide alarm near the sleeping areas of your home will alert you to the presence of this deadly gas. It is a good idea to invest in a battery-operated alarm that will continue to work during power failures.

Community – On Nov. 24, from 2 to 4 p.m. Spiritual Cinema presents films for the heart and soul at McMartin House, 125 Gore St. E, Perth.

This marks the end of Spiritual Cinema’s fifth year and 74th edition of Spiritual Cinema. That makes for 315 films shown.

“We get asked this a lot, so it is worth repeating that the Spiritual Cinema Circle is not affiliated with any religion, organized or disorganized,” said Jim Deacove, organizer of the films. “Some folks find that words written and spoken touch their inner being. Others are transported by music. We find that films uplift the heart and nourish the soul and we are happy to share this experience with you.”

This month’s films focus on communication.

In the opening short, “What Is That?”

a father and son learn to reconnect when they sit down together and have an unexpected conversation.

The short is followed by the feature film, “Take Me Home.”

Soon after Thom starts operating as an illegal taxi driver in New York City, Claire, looking for a new purpose in her life, hires him to drive her to California.

This film won an award for Best Music in a Film at the Nashville Film Festival.

Content warning: contains some adult language and references. 95 minutes.

Written and directed by Sam Jaeger.

There will be a brief intermission at 3 p.m. There is an accessible ramp and comfortable seating available. It’s recommended that a $2 donation be made to help with room rental.

All three cars in this story are parked in Herm’s driveway with Herm’s 1967 Silver Shadow flanked by son Greg’s ’69 Mustang fastback and son Bob’s 1994 Jaguar V-12 convertible.

Mustang has been in same family for 44 years Lifestyle – In 1969, tomato farmer Herm Dick purchased a new Mustang fastback with a 302 V8 and automatic transmission from Slater Motors in Leamington for $3,900. Herm and his wife Elizabeth enjoyed driving the car.

Eventually, Herm gave the car to their son Dennis, who courted his wife in the Mustang. Herm later bought it back from Dennis for $500 and passed it along to son Greg, who still owns it today.

About ten years ago, the Mustang was fully restored by Dennis Pilon, who demonstrated the perfect fit between the hood and front fenders by rolling a marble from the windshield all the way to the front of the car. This Mustang has now been in the same family for 44 years.

Son Bob purchased his white 1994 Jaguar V-12 convertible from a dealer in Windsor in 2006. This past summer, he was standing beside his car in Tecumseh accompanied by Herm’s daughter Joan Epp and grand-daughter Jessica, this year’s Leamington Tomato Queen. MPP Percy Hatfield approached Bob and wondered why he was standing beside his car! A quick look at the license plate ended the confusion. Percy has an identical car and for a moment thought

Bob’s car was his car.

Bob and Percy own cars with a distinguished history.

Jaguar Cars Limited was founded in 1945 and produced many sleek-looking convertibles and sedans that raced at Le Mans. In recent years, the emphasis has been on luxury, and some owners claim a Jaguar built today is quieter than a Rolls-Royce!

And that brings us to Herm’s 1967 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow, purchased earlier this year from a young man in Richmond Hill, Ontario, who had received it from his father. On a nice sunny day recently, Herm treated Catherine and me to a ride all around Leamington in regal splendour. Herm’s Rolls has serial #SRX2386 and I am now doing some detective work to uncover the earlier ownership history of this lefthand-drive car.

The history of Rolls-Royce dates back to 1904 when Manchester electrical engineer Henry Royce teamed up with the Hon. C. S. Rolls to build high quality automobiles. The first few models had two, three, and four cylinder engines, followed by six cylinders. In 1959, Rolls brought out a 6231 cc V8 engine.

The 1965 Silver Shadow introduced unit construction and all-around independent suspension. Herm’s ’67 Silver Shadow was built two years later and still looks like new!

Hydro One offers tips to prevent electrical fires News – Electrical fires accounted for nine per cent of all structural fires between 2007 and 2011.

• Keep electrical cords away from heat and water as they can both damage the insulation and create a shock hazard.

• Avoid octopus outlets. Clusters of wires and plugs can be a fire hazard along with using extension cords as permanent wiring.

• Put safety caps on any unused elec-

trical outlets, especially if there are young children in the house.

• Buy appliances approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and always disconnect small appliances before cleaning them.

• When you’re changing a light bulb, be sure to turn off the switch or circuit.

• If you’re renovating, remember all electrical work must be inspected and approved by the Electrical Safety Authority. This inspection must be done

prior to covering any wiring with drywall or any other wall/ceiling materials.

• When purchasing a new home, get an electrical inspection before signing on the dotted line. It will show you if any updates to the wiring are required to bring the house up to code.

Lawrence catches fire again in Hunger Games sequel

MOVIE: Catching Fire STARRING: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Donald Sutherland DIRECTOR: Francis Lawrence RATING: PG Arts – The world of The Hunger Games is dark, but there’s also something very gripping about it. Catching Fire takes us further into this story as the Games, the Capitol’s tool of oppression, becomes the spark of rebellion.

Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) have returned to District 12 after winning the Hunger Games, but they soon learn what Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) always knew. For victors the Games are never over.

The victors are expected to tour the other districts, but there’s been trouble in the districts. Some have seen Katniss’ actions as an act of defiance. President

My Take

MARK HASKINS

Snow (Donald Sutherland) tells Katniss that if she and Peeta don’t convince the public of their undying love than the consequences for her and everyone she knows will be grave.

With the help of Haymitch and Effie (Elizabeth Banks) Katniss and Peeta do all they can, but it isn’t enough. Katniss is still a symbol of hope that Snow must destroy. To that end, for the 75th Hunger Games, Snow declares that the tributes will be chosen from among past victors.

Once again Katniss and Peeta will

have to face the horror of the Games, but there’s a different feeling among the tributes and the people for these Games.

Snow hopes to use these Games to squash that feeling. Others hope to use these Games for something else. As Katniss leaves for the arena Haymitch reminds her to remember who the real enemy is. Katniss knows who her enemies are.

She also knows in the Games there are no friends.

There were some discrepancies between the book and the film. Regardless, Catching Fire is an incredible film. This world with its stark contrast between

poverty and depravity is oddly fascinating. You’re drawn to the story and horrified by it at the same time. The difference I think is Katniss. She begins as a survivor doing what she has to. Then in the face of certain death she chooses to fight, and not just those in the arena, but those who put her there. In such a dark world hers is a story of the brightest hope.

Visually this world is brought to life in remarkable detail. Still, without the right cast this world would be dead no matter how good the effects are. And this is the right cast. Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Lenny Kravitz, Philip Seymour

Hoffman, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Donald Sutherland are perfect.

There just isn’t another word for it.

There’s no mistaking the star of this film. Jennifer Lawrence shines brightly as Katniss. Her depth of emotion and sensitivity as an actor are such that it’s impossible to say where Lawrence ends and Katniss begins. I’m still not sure what it says about our society that a story about kids killing kids for entertainment is as popular as it is. I am sure that Catching Fire is an incredible film.

Jingle Bells Dashing throâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the snow In a one horse open sleigh, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er the ďŹ elds we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, O what fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight!

Rudolph Deck the Red-Nosed the Halls Reindeer

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la la. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la la.

Troll the ancient Yuletide carole, Fa la la la la la la la la.

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen, But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?

See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la la.

Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la la.

While I tell the Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la la.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town You better watch out, You better not cry Better not pout, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna ďŹ nd out Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s naughty and nice.

Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sleeping He knows when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re awake He knows if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake!

O! You better watch out! You better not cry.

Better not pout, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you why.

Santa Claus is coming to town.

Jingle bells, Jingle bells!

Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh!

A day or two ago I thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take a ride, And soon Miss Fannie Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d his lot He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got up-sot.

(Repeat Chorus) Now the ground is white, Go it while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young, Take the girls tonight, And sing the sleighing song.

Just get a bob-tailed nag, Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the lead.

(Repeat Chorus)

Frosty the Snowman

Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudolph with your nose so bright, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you drive my sleigh tonight?â&#x20AC;?

Then now the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go down in history.â&#x20AC;?

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul, With a corn cob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.

Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say, He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.

R0012442438_1128

Oh Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be, and the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, look at Frosty go.

Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills and snow.

O Holy Night O holy night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth; Long lay the world in sin and error pining, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Til he appeared and the soul felt its worth.

A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn; Fall on your knees; Oh, hear the angel voices!

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky, look down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing the Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes.

I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And ďŹ t us for Heaven, to live with Thee there.

O Little Town of Bethlehem O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie!

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, The silent stars go by; Yet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary; And gathering all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love.

O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth.

How silently how silently, The wonderous gift is given!

So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven.

No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in.

O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.

The rising of the sun, the running of the deer, The playing of the merry organ, Sweet singing in the choir.

The holly bears a berry as red as any blood, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To do poor sinners good.

The holly bears a prickle as sharp as any thorn, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, On Christmas Day in the morn.

The First Noel

And by the light of the same star, Three wisemen came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went.

This star drew nigh to the north-west, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Hail, the heaven born Prince of peace!

Hail, the Son o Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings, Mild He lays His glory by Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

Drugs and driving – a deadly combination offence under the Criminal Code of Canada. Most jurisdictions also have sanctions under highway traffic acts. In 2011, more than 90,000 impaired driving charges were laid in Canada. This number, however, represents only a fraction of the impaired drivers on our roads.

• There is a growing body of drug recognition experts (DRE) in Canada, who work to enforce penalties for driving under the influence of drugs. In cases where impairment by drugs is suspected, sobriety tests are being used to check for the source of impairment. A DRE can be called in to access the condition of a suspected impaired driver and may collect or arrange to collect a swab, urine or blood sample.

If the results come back positive for the suspected drug or drugs, charges can be laid under the Criminal Code of Canada.

• Female drivers are almost equally likely as males to test positive for drugs.

• Driving after cannabis use is more commonplace among those ages 15 to 24 than drinking and driving, according to a 2013 report by the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse. In that age group, 12.6 per cent surveyed admitted to driving after cannabis use; this compares to 10.7 per cent who drove after drinking.

• Young drivers between 16 and 24 lead the way in fatalities that involved alcohol and/or drugs. According to statistics from the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, 27.6 per cent of fatalities among this age group were impaired by alcohol.

Compare this with 26.9 per cent of fatalities who were impaired by drugs. Aware of licensing restrictions and initiatives that catch and punish drunk drivers, some people are turning from alcohol to substances such as drugs to achieve a high. But as the statistics indicate, the outcomes are even more – not less – dangerous and deadly.

• Among fatally injured drivers 55 and older, drug use is more prevalent than alcohol.

• The most common drugs found in fatalities are central nervous system depressants, cannabis, stimulants and narcotics.

Recommendations • Be proactive and stop drugged driving before it happens.

• Be responsible. Never drive when impaired.

• Do not combine drugs and alcohol.

• Do not use illegal drugs. The impairment caused by illegal drugs can take hours and even days to wear off.

• Do not use drugs of any variety to get high.

• Know the side effects of your medications. Read the inserts that come with your medications and speak with your pharmacist about the drugs’ possible impacts on your driving abilities.

• Be aware that drugs interact with each other. Review your list of medications with your pharmacist.

• Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of your medication if alcohol is consumed.

• With prescription and overthe-counter drugs, abuse or misuse can happen and needs to be recognized and corrected. This means that you should not exceed recommended dosages. You should not take someone else’s medicine, or use medicine to get high. Further, it means that you should read and respect labels and warnings.

• As a host, monitor your guests’ behaviour. Monitoring or preventing drug use can be difficult. You need to be watching your guests for signs of unusual behaviour, such as jitters or unexplained mood-swings. If you suspect someone is impaired, speak up and make alternate, safe arrangements for transportation.

• If you have friends or family members who use illegal drugs, clearly communicate to them that your home is not a place where they can get high.

Be sympathetic and supportive by encouraging them to get the help they need to overcome their addiction.

• Do not get in a vehicle if the driver is impaired. Make every safe effort to stop an impaired person from operating a vehicle.

• Report impaired driving to the police.

Whether by drugs, alcohol, fatigue or some other contributing factor, there is no excuse for impaired driving.

Lifestyle – The holiday season brings with it familiar and necessary messages reminding Canadians to drive sober. While impairment behind the wheel is most often associated with alcohol, motorists are also gambling with their safety and the safety of others by driving under the influence of drugs. These drugs include illegal substances, prescription medications and over-the-counter remedies.

“Unfortunately, people are more afraid of being caught than being killed,” said Jack Smith, president of the Canada Safety Council. “They don’t think it’s going to happen to them until it happens.”

This National Safe Driving Week, from Dec. 1 to 7, the Canada Safety Council seeks to educate Canadians that driving while under the influence of drugs is dangerous, irresponsible, illegal and becoming increasingly prevalent. It is posing a significant public safety risk that needs to be curbed through preventative measures, awareness and the enforcement of appropriate penalties.

Drugged driving facts • The Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse reports that more than a third – 35.3 per cent – of fatally injured drivers in Canada tested positive for impairing drugs in 2009. This compares with 40.9 per cent of driver fatalities in the same year where alcohol was the source of impairment. Simply put, drugged driving is just as deadly and prevalent as drunk driving. It is a serious problem that needs to be addressed.

• Serious injury, driver or passenger death, hurting bystanders, destroying property, lost productivity, more strain on the health-care system – these are just some of the unfortunate, painful and yet totally preventable consequences of driving while impaired by drugs.

• Drug-involved fatal crashes are more likely than alcoholinvolved crashes to occur during the daytime hours on weekdays.

• Drugs are impairing because they reduce drivers’ reaction times and their attention to the task of driving.

• Impaired driving is an
