Kate Rowley: Big city gal lays down rural roots

by Kris Svela MOUNT FOREST - Kate Rowley has always had a passion for volunteering.

But it’s her passion for doing work in a variety of volunteer capacities, and in particular working with the town’s heritage society and museum and archives, that has made her stand out - somewhat reluctantly.

The self described “city girl” moved to the area about 13 years ago when her husband, Dr. Chris Rowley, established his practice here.

At their home outside of town the couple is raising their three children, Michael, 17, Tess, 15, and Peter, 13.

“I have the greatest respect for her especially with a household of teenagers. “She is in here almost every day,” society member and museum volunteer Pauline Brown said of Rowley.

“She’s a real people person, a real organizer.”

Brown first met Rowley when Rowley attended a Mount Forest Heritage Society meeting to speak on behalf of the late Jean Weber, a community activist who spearheaded the efforts to secure the town’s historic post office building on Main Street as the home of the museum and archives.

At the time Weber, known

as a tenacious supporter of the town’s history and efforts to preserve and grow it at the archives and museum, was ill and Rowley was asked to speak for her at a society meeting.

“She had a speech for Jean when Jean wasn’t feeling too well,” Brown recalled of their first encounter.

Since then a friendship has grown between the two, as is the case with most who meet and have worked with Rowley, a former history teacher.

Rowley’s first encounter with volunteering happened when she was 17 and a Grade 12 student at a high school in Toronto.

“We had a program at the school where we visited seniors’ homes,” she recalled.

“We were paired up with seniors and we’d read and talk.”

The experience captured her interest and while attending teacher’s college she was made aware of the work done by Frontier College in Toronto, a volunteer literacy group teaching people who lack reading and writing skills.

“My most meaningful volunteering was with Frontier College,” Rowley said of her experience to that point in her life. “I was teaching adults to

Award night - Kate Rowley received Citizen of the Year honours in May and was joined at the Mount Forest Chamber of Commerce-sponsored ceremony by Wellington North councillor Dan Yake, the township’s liaison member with the heritage society, Mayor Ray Tout and event master of ceremonies Debbie Hunter.

read and write.”

At the college she received instruction on how to assist and work with people lacking literacy skills.

One of her students was an immigrant from the Caribbean who had young children and was concerned she would not be able to teach them to read and write English.

Rowley said the woman was motivated and “walked in the front door” of Frontier College looking for help.

“She and I met for a year, one evening a week, and she got to the point where she could read and write to her kids,” said Rowley.

She worked with another student, a Canadian man she calls Edward, for about five years. His lack of reading and writing skills had been ignored throughout school, something Rowley knew from experience as a teacher.

“They got moved along and pushed aside,” she said of students who lacked the skills needed in real life that were not addressed in the school system.

Because of his lack of reading and writing skills, Edward was referred to the college through a community living program.

“He had learning issues and special needs.”

During their sessions, they would go over reading and writing skills, but they also went out to galleries, and even a hockey game, where the same skills could be learned in reallife settings.

Eventually the skills acquired were enough for Edward to move on.

At the same time, Rowley had met and married her husband, who was attending medical school in Ottawa. The medical studies meant they were apart for extended periods.

Now is the

By coincidence, when her husband graduated and was looking to establish a practice, they drove through Mount Forest on their way to the family cottage in Southampton.

“We’re both big city people and we had no affiliation with Grey or Wellington (counties),” she said of a trip that, by chance, changed their lives.

“He said, ‘This is the kind of place I could be a doctor.’

I remember thinking, ‘I would never live here,’” Rowley said of her first impression.

“We drove up, looked

ing here I was cornered by Jean Weber at the deli and she said ‘you’re the new doctor’s wife,’” Rowley said with a smile, thinking about how persuasive Weber could be in her own way.

“I hear you are a history teacher,” Rowley recalled Weber saying.

Weber then went on to tell Rowley the heritage society was meeting the next Thursday at 6:59pm, “and I have been here since,” said Rowley.

It was an opportunity to volunteer for heritage preserva-

“There’s nothing better than a good volunteering gig.”

- Wellington North volunteer Kate Rowley. around, stuck our noses in different places,” she said of the trip that convinced her the community would be well-suited to her family.

With the move made and Rowley electing not to go back to teaching, she decided to volunteer her time at the public school her children attended, something she continues with today.

She sat on the board of the local Kids ‘R’ Us group, a preschool adjacent to the public school outside Mount Forest, and eventually got involved with efforts to save the library at the school, which was slated for closure. The efforts paid off - the library was saved and still operates today.

It was a chance encounter with Jean Weber that got Rowley involved with the heritage society and eventually the museum and archives.

“Two years after com-

tion work, something she held dear.

“At the time, I was thinking it has nothing to do with my family and I had always talked about heritage but done nothing, so I went to the first meeting,” Rowley said.

The society was in its early stages of trying to get itself incorporated and secure in the building it now calls home.

That was achieved after Weber persuaded Wellington North council to allow the museum and archives to establish itself there.

Rowley was eventually named treasurer, a position she says she detested, and worked on securing a $64,000 Trillium Ontario grant to make the historic building accessible and to fix the roof and restore the exterior.

She would eventually become president for a twoyear stint and keeps up her

work at the museum.

Marlene Markle has come to know Rowley personally and professionally.

A member of the society and museum and archives where she volunteers as an exhibit curator, Markle said both she and Rowley were persuaded by Weber to join the society as directors.

“We both came on in 2003,” Markle recalled. “That was the result of Jean Weber, webbing us in.”

They share a passion for local history.

“Kate is very open, friendly, good humoured and willing to listen to everybody’s ideas and accept them or modify them,” Markle said. “We’re just really enthusiastic about things.”

Earlier this year her work was acknowledged by the community when she was named Citizen of the Year, and by Wellington County, which selected her for a Wellington Volunteer Appreciation Award.

She attributes the society’s success - in preserving and promoting the community’s history - to some 40 volunteers at the museum and archives.

“I’m most excited about taking this back north to Mount Forest and sharing it with the 40 volunteers,” she said after receiving the county award.

“Jean Weber is loving this.

The Mount Forest Museum and Archives has become a second home for me,” she said after receiving the Citizen of the Year award.

“When you adopt a new home you never know if it will adopt you. We have arrived,” Rowley added at the same ceremony in reference to what the award meant to her and her family.

“There’s nothing better than a good volunteering gig,” she said.

ENTERTAINMENT Theatre guild to stage original musical Ebenezer starting Nov. 8 HARRISTON - Music, comedy and drama - the Grey Wellington Theatre Guild’s (GWTG) upcoming production of the seasonal musical Ebenezer contains everything an audience looks for in a show.

In November, the guild will stage the world premiere of Ebenezer, an original musical featuring lyrics and music written by Mount Forest area songwriter/performer Lindsay Thomas Morgan and directed

by GWTG veteran Patrick C. Smith, of Harriston.

Ebenezer is based on the Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol, but Smith says audiences will find plenty that is new about the show. “It’s done in a comical way to a large extent. It’s not A Christmas Carol. What I love about it is the fact that everybody sings and it’s done with a comical flair. I think the audience will really enjoy it from that point of view,� said Smith, adding the play turns serious in a couple of places, “but not terribly serious. “I think it’s really a great

family show.�

The full-scale musical extravaganza features a cast of about 30, many of whom play multiple roles. Cast and crew have been drawn from throughout the region including performers from the Harriston, Mount Forest, Palmerston, Drayton and Listowel areas.

Ebenezer represents the first foray into original musical theatre for Morgan, who put together the musical arrangements for the GWTG’s first production of another Dickens’ classic, Oliver!.

Born in Wales, Morgan moved to Canada in his youth and has been performing across the country since the ‘70s. He has recorded a number of CDs, including tracks which have hit the top 40 on Canadian country charts.

In 1985 he produced the first single for a young Canadian singer named Alanis Morissette.

Smith, a Harriston resident who founded the GWTG in 1974, plays Ebenezer Scrooge in the production, which also stars Dan Bieman of Harriston as Bob Cratchit, Wilma Mol of Palmerston as Mrs. Cratchit, and Christine Wick, of Listowel, Warren Wray of Atwood and Ken Babey of Mount Forest, as the spirits of Christmas past, present and future.

Smith feels the production, which features musical direction by Ethel Forbes and choreography by Becky Litt, has all the makings of a hit along the scale of past GWTG musicals Oliver! and My Fair Lady. “I think the cast is coming up to speed, we’ve got some good choreographic numbers that our choreographer has put in. I think our musical director has done an incredible job of getting the cast into shape,�

ENTERTAINMENT Vision Theatre Productions bringing M*A*S*H to Fergus Grand Theatre atre, audiences will be taken back in time to 1950s Korea.

The nurses tent, operating room, mess tent and of course â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Swampâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; have all been recreated to capture the essence of the M*A*S*H audiences will remember.

MASH units played a crucial part in reducing the number of casualties during the conflict, offering immediate aid to wounded soldiers that was unavailable in previous wars.

Statistics at the time showed that soldiers who reached a MASH unit had a 97 per cent chance of survival following treatment.

FERGUS - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 60 years since the end of the Korean War and local theatre company Vision Theatre Productions is commemorating the anniversary with a stage production of M*A*S*H in support of the Groves Hospital Foundation.

Based on the 1970 movie, mixed with the comedic genius of the 1972 to 1983 television series, M*A*S*H captures life at a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War, which is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the forgotten warâ&#x20AC;? by some, as it is often overshadowed by the remembrance of the First and Second World Wars.

Canada, however, played a significant role during the conflict, with 512 volunteer soldiers losing their lives. Following the end of hostilities in 1953, Canadian soldiers remained in Korea for three years to assist with rebuilding and reestablishing peace.

The play takes a satirical and serious look at life inside a MASH unit.

All the favourite characters from the original series are featured in the stage production, including Hawkeye, Duke, Trapper, Frank Burns and Margaret â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hot Lipsâ&#x20AC;? Houlihan.

Also making an appearance will be several local doctors from Groves Memorial Community Hospital, who will have special walk-on roles during each performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to get the community involved in this production,â&#x20AC;? said Vision Theatre Productions executive producer Fred Morris. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to honour the memories of those that served in a way that allowed everyone in the community to be a part of the giving.â&#x20AC;?

As the curtain opens on the stage of the Fergus Grand The-

Countless hours of work and research went into creating the set and finding props. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really wanted the audience to feel like they were in a MASH unit,â&#x20AC;? said Denise Gismondi who is returning as director for Vision Theatre Productions.

Every little detail has been recreated - from the still Hawkeye and Trapper used to brew their own alcohol to the radio equipment used for alerting doctors and nurses of incoming wounded.

The cast of more than 30 has been working since the summer on their roles to give audiences

a fun and heart-warming theatre experience. Officials say there is now a family atmosphere on the set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have had to work together much like the nurses and doctors would have had to in a real MASH unit. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real team effort from start to finish,â&#x20AC;? said Gismondi.

In addition to working with Groves hospital, Vision Theatre Productions has also partnered with the Fergus Legion to put on a dinner before the Saturday evening performance.

Audiences will have a chance to enjoy a roast beef dinner with all the trimmings

COMMON BUCKTHORN

by John C. Benham, Weed Inspector The frosts have taken care of most of the noxious weeds except one – Buckthorn. As you drive the roads and check the fence bottoms you will notice plants still with dark green leaves and some with black berries. These are buckthorns. Those with the berries are the female plants and those with no berries are the male plants.

In recent years this plant has greatly increased in numbers and can become a serious threat to hardwood forests. Since it is a prolific seed producer and is relished by birds that distribute the seeds, the buckthorn will grow in thick stands that shade out new seed-

lings in the bush. This is a threat to the future of the bush, if there is no new regeneration. For identification, besides the dark green leaves with three to four pairs of veins that curve upward toward the leaf tip, the inner bark is yellow. Also the twigs have a sharp spine instead of a terminal bud.

These plants are on the Noxious Weed List and so must be controlled. Mechanical removal of small plants can be effective, if the complete root is removed. Herbicide sprays can be effective.

Painting cut stumps with a strong solution of herbicide has proven to be effective. For more information, call John at 519-846-3394.

Black lauded for outstanding leadership GUELPH - Rob Black, CEO of the Rural Ontario Institute and AALP program director, was recognized by his peers as this year’s “Outstanding Leadership Program Director” at a conference in New Orleans last week.

The International Association of Programs for Agricultural Leaders (IAPAL) named Black as this year’s winner stating, “His global camaraderie, loyalty, zest for shared expertise and quantum sense of humor embody this servant leader.”

Black became AALP program director in 2006 and has been instrumental in creating stronger links between the agriculture industry and program participants and transforming two organizations (the Ontario Rural Council and the Centre for Rural Leadership) into what is now the Rural Ontario Institute.

IAPAL represents over 35 agricultural leadership programs around the world, including the U.S., Canada, Australia and Scotland. Last year’s recipient was Hannah Carter from the Wedgworth Leadership Institute for Agriculture and Natural Resources at the University of Florida.

Many of the market’s summer vendors return for the winter season, providing a variety of root, cold-weather and green house vegetables, apples and mushrooms, and preserves and pickles made from local produce, as well as baking, breakfast choices and coffee.

“If you love local food, this is the place to be,” says marketing committee member Barb Lee, one of the market’s founders. “You’ll find everything you need in a convenient location that’s warm and dry inside, and has plenty of free parking.”

CALGARY - While most 16-year-olds are still asleep at 6am, Minto speed skater Paisley Perrie is up preparing for another busy day of training at the Olympic Oval in Calgary.

Perrie hits the ice six days a week in a quest to represent Canada at the Olympics one day. However, training up to six hours a day is far from boring, as the group heads out on cycling tours on the road or at the local velodrome.

Other activities have included weight training, yoga and a power hike up to the 1,300-metre summit of Mount Lady MacDonald in the Rockies.

Currently the Grade 12 student is taking this semester online through Norwell District Secondary School. With skating and school it’s quite hectic, but Perrie still has time to earn some money at the local organic supermarket, working 24 to 30 hours a week.

“It gets my mind off skating and helps pay the bills,” she said. “There’s still time for socializing and relaxing.

In the first long track competition at the oval, Perrie had a promising start to the season, finishing 7th in the 500m and 1,000m events and 10th in the 1,500m.

Perrie was optimistic knowing that she is already faster

than where she was at her peak last season.

Her goal is to finish in the top four at the National Qualifier in late January in Saskatoon. This would earn her a spot on the Canada’s Junior World team, which will compete in Norway at the World Championships in March.

Her next major competition will be the Can Am Championships in late November.
