Don’t get your VIA Rail hopes up, St. Marys tells Perth Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
St. Marys, Ont., is warning Perth that the promised VIA Rail Canada rail link from Peterborough to Smiths Falls may be a long time in coming – if it ever comes at all. “It’s going to be a tough one,” said Al Strathdee, mayor of the town, during a telephone interview on Friday, Sept. 9. “Your situation is not too different from us.” Last year, Yves Desjardins-Siciliano, CEO of VIA Rail, was in the nearby community of Stratford, where, See VIA page P4

kilometre walk or run through Carleton Place with proceeds going to LAWS. After this quick jaunt, eat, drink and mingle with other pet lovers
while raising money to support all the fantastic efforts of the animal shelter. This is a fundraiser you do not want to miss! LAWS is a registered
charity with the mission of providing care to abused, abandoned and lost animals of Lanark County and surrounding areas. The shelter has a strict no-kill policy. The staff rehabilitates and re-homes these cuddly creatures using funding from fellow animal-adorers like you at local initiatives like Walk your Paws for LAWS. “This is always the largest fundraiser of our year,” said Liz Taylor, a volunteer on the board of directors for LAWS. “With over 120 cats and kittens at the shelter right now, not to mention the dogs, it is definitely a time of need!” Taylor added. Join LAWS at the Carleton Place Arena at 75 Neelin Street from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. after the walk for a barbecue, face painting, and live music from local artists like the Burnside Sisters. Registration for the walk starts at 10 a.m. Enter yourself in the raffle for a chance to win the secret grand prize. LAWS is also proud to an-

REAL hosts sixth annual showcase of local foods Oct. 15 at Gallipeau Centre Chris Must
chrismust@metroland.com
A showcase of the best that local food producers have to offer will once again be presented at the Gallipeau Centre as the Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) hosts its sixth Local Foods Harvest Dinner. The event is set for Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Ballroom of the Gallipeau Centre on Queen Street just outside Smiths Falls. As well as providing a showcase for local producers and encouraging environmental awareness, the annual dinner is also REAL’s major fundraisers for the year, said President Barb Hicks. In addition to a buffetstyle dinner, silent auction of donated items and live music by The British Invasion, this year’s event will feature a new attraction. “This time we’re going to try to do appetizer tasting stations,” said Hicks. The tasting stations will be set up during the social hour from 6 to 7 p.m., and guests will have the opportunity to meet some of the local producers who made the ingredients used in the appetizers. The chef for the evening is Amy Rensby of Magnolia Catering. “She’s well known in the community,” said
Hicks. Rensby is also co-owner of The Ivy on William, a former Presbyterian Church on William St. W., which has been converted into a multipurpose facility. “We try to make sure all those foods have come from Lanark, Leeds and Grenville,” said Hicks. In past years the dinner has included some exotic offerings, such as goat, rabbit, and bison. Organizers also plan to offer a vegetarian option. The cash bar will feature a selection of local beers and Ontario wines. Guests are invited to take advantage of a special earlybird offer. Anyone purchasing a ticket before Sunday, Sept. 18 will receive a $5 discount. After Sept. 18 tickets are $60 each, with $20 eligible for a charitable donation receipt. For anyone interested, tours of the Two Rivers Food Hub, also located at the Gallipeau Centre, will be available from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Hicks said the fundraiser normally raises about $5,000 for REAL each year. This is largely due to the support of sponsors, with local businesses, organizations and some families providing varying levels of financial support. “It is the same core of people year after year, which is very
gratifying,” said Hicks. Musical entertainment during the cocktail hour and following the dinner will be provided by The British Invasion. This three-piece band plays a selection of favourites by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Herman’s Hermits, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd and other well-known British bands of the 1960s and ‘70s. The band was part of the line-up at this year’s Rideau Paddlefest in Smiths Falls, and recently provided the music for a sold-out dinner and show package at The Brigadoon Restaurant in Oxford Mills. Master of ceremonies for the evening will be Wayne Cavanagh. The Rideau Environmental Action League was founded in Smiths Falls in 1989. The mission of the non-profit organization is “to project, preserve and enhance our environmental for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations through advocacy, education, recognition and projects within Eastern Ontario.” Tickets are available at Modern Thymes, 11 Russell St. E. in Smiths Falls; the REAL Deal store at 85 William St. W. in Smiths Falls; and from Barb Hicks at 613283-9966.

Submitted photo
Sarah Bingham has been named the new executive director of the Lanark County Community Justice Program after current executive director Beth Peterkin announced her retirement. relationships. Through the BE STRONG program, LCCJP staff
and volunteers are bringing the use of restorative approaches to schools and youth centres throughout the service area. The Ministry of the Attorney General provides funding assistance needed for court diversion cases involving youth aged 12 to 17. LCCJP is also pleased to be a United Way of Lanark County partner, with United Way funding primarily used to help with cases of youth aged 18 to 25 years. The Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Law Foundation of Ontario and other community partners have made the school program a reality.

Lanark County Community Justice Program (LCCJP) is pleased to announce the hiring of a new executive director. Sarah Bingham will join the LCCJP team as of Sept. 19, replacing current executive director Beth Peterkin, who is retiring. The organization has experienced a growth in capacity over the past two years with a new emphasis on providing court diversion services to young adults in the 18 to 25-year-old range, the implementation of the school/youth centre initiative in restorative approaches, mentoring and training of other non-profits in the use of restorative practices, and the expansion of staffing hours. Peterkin has led LCCJP through these changes and has now decided it is time for her to step down. “The organization is in a strong position and I am excited to see what can be accomplished over the next few years,” says Peterkin. “However, I feel the time is right for me to retire and turn the leadership of LCCJP over to someone else.” The board of directors underwent a thorough recruitment, screening and interview process early in August with 40 candidates applying for the position. “We are very happy to announce that Sarah Bingham has accepted our offer of employment,” says chair Murray Long. Bingham is a Lanark County resident with more than six years of related experience in the social service world. Most recently, she has been employed at Lanark County Interval House and she has a solid knowledge and understanding of vulnerable populations of all ages. “I am honoured and excited to lead the Lanark County Community Justice team as we expand our services to create stronger, healthier communities throughout Lanark County,” says Bingham. “I am looking forward to working alongside our many community partners to continue building restorative justice approaches into regular practices. As a passionate believer in the power of this work, I can tell you this is a very exciting time for the organization and for all of us here in Lanark County.” Bingham joins Sheri Halladay (program co-ordinator) and Andrew Lynch (community animator) as well as about 40 community volunteers in bringing services to Lanark County and the Town of Smiths Falls. Restorative justice is a process that brings together accused persons and complainants in a circle forum, to work together to heal the harm that has been caused by an incident and to rebuild

Lanark County Live Poets Society back from hiatus, ready to launch new season Finally, they’re back! After a year-long hiatus, Lanark County Live Poets Society (LiPS) is once again taking to the stage to share their talent and uniquely poetic insights. A new season is starting this September, in a new venue, and a “new” format, but with the same wonderful atmosphere of creativity, authenticity and community that LiPS has always been known for. Our local LiPS poetry collective remains the only rural region represented at the annual national poetry
slam competition, the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word (CFSW). LiPS also has the honour of having both the youngest and the oldest poets compete at the national slam competitions in the past, which really shows how broad and accepting this group of poets and performers are. And if you’ve never been to a LiPS poetry event, or any other spoken word shows before, rest assured, this is not your run of the mill poetry: There is something for everyone’s taste and it is always an
entertaining evening. Cover charge is only $5 and performers get in free. The 2016-2017 LiPS season begins on Friday, Sept. 16 at Coutts Coffee at 57 Gore Street East in Perth. Doors open for the Welcome Back Wordfest at 6:30 p.m. and
the event consists of what the group refers to (tongue in cheek) as a S.L.A.M. which is Sharing Language and Music – an open mic format that everyone is welcome to participate in, whether you’re a singer, storyteller, comedian or poet. If you have anything you
want to say or perform, you’re welcome to come and share. Monthly poetry events mark the path to an exciting competitive format Slam Finals night in April which will determine who will make up Lanark County’s team heading to represent us on the national stage at CFSW
2017 in Peterborough. For more information on how to participate or to find out when you can come and check it out, please visit LiPS on Facebook or email us at lanarklips@hotmail.com. Submitted by Lanark County Live Poets Society

COMMENTARY
Another cautionary note
B
y helping to spread the word about scams, we hope to raise awareness and reduce the risk that local residents fall victim to fraudsters. At least three such scams have been noted by law enforcement agencies in our region recently. The OPP are warning guests of hotels about telephone calls that sound legit but are not. The so-called front desk scam makes the guest believe he or she is being contacted by someone at that hotel or resort; when the caller requests credit card information such as the number or three-digit security code on the back of the card, the guest might comply thinking everything is fine. Unfortunately, the caller is a scammer who either calls the hotel and is put through to the room or manages to tap into the existing automated system and make a direct connection to the guest. OPP suggest not providing credit card information over the phone. Tell the caller that you will go to the
front desk to deal with the problem in person. If there is no problem, report the call to the hotel manager and to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (1888-495-8501). Another scam making the rounds throughout the tri-county area is an online secret shopper offer in which cheques are provided for cashing purposes. If the recipient spends money he or she believes is on the way after a cheque clears, that person will be out the cash when the cheque turns out to be a fake. Fraud can happen to anyone and if something seems too good to be true or has yourself asking questions, don’t give out the personal information being requested. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or take time to mull over what is being requested or offered. It could end up being time well spent if it stops a scammer from taking your money or credit.
Fireflies became a cruel game for Mary's brothers They were everywhere. Glowing in the dark of the night. I wasn’t frightened of them. I was frightened for them. They were the many fireflies that came out in the heat of the summer and once darkness had settled in, they flitted around, not that far from the ground...many little glowing lights, no doubt unaware of the danger awaiting them. I once was frightened by the fireflies, but then my sister Audrey said they were simply tiny pieces of stars broken off by unseen angels and sent down to bring light in the darkness. That made perfect sense to me, and certainly eliminated any fear I had of them. What didn’t make sense to me and filled my veins with ice water, was how my three brothers could murder those harm-

less little flies. They were easy to catch, because they seemed to land on an arm, unaware of what lay in store for them. And this is when my three brothers would commit their murderous act, so that the poor creatures could no longer fly. They actually ripped the little bodies apart and put the small pieces of glowing light up and down their arms, until they looked like they were carrying many tiny little flashlights. Then the brothers would tear around the yard like people possessed! They would yell and laugh, enjoying their murderous acts. I covered my ears with my hands, so I couldn’t hear them and pleaded with Mother to stop their cruel acts, but that got me nowhere. I would stay in the house, praying for Mother to say it

Mother went to the door, hit the wooden spoon against the tin disc that hung on a nail and used to call everyone in for meals, and one by one the brothers headed into the house, leaving the evidence of what they had been up to outside.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Reader feels columnist's assumptions will lead to higher hydro rates DEAR EDITOR:
Jeff Maguire, in his column about soaring hydro rates (Sept. 8), complains that high electricity prices are caused by “green” energy. It's too bad that the talking points of the Ontario Tory party have caused him to have such a negative opinion of green energy because if he did his own research he would have discovered that the nuclear lobby both inside and outside of government is the most powerful player in Ontario's energy establishment. Hydro One is not the only part of the elec-

Ontario Power Generation which is dominated by its nuclear section (nuclear produces 50 to 60 per cent of Ontario's electricity) and Bruce Nuclear have their own highly paid executives. Bruce Nuclear promotes itself in television commercials as a clean, wonderful source of electricity. The nuclear lobby, I believe, has worked hard to limit green energy in Ontario and it has succeeded. We see a lot of solar panels in

eastern Ontario but they produce less than five per cent of our electricity and the nuclear lobby will keep it that way because the plans to refurbish aging reactors will mean that there is no room in the system for green energy. Any advancement of renewable energy is a threat to nuclear power. One of Mr. Maguire’s suggestions to lower hydro rates is to build natural gas power plants away from heavily populated centres. This will not happen because communities, which don’t want windmills, will not welcome natural gas plants either. Also, as previously mentioned, there will be no need for any more electricity with all the refurbished nuclear plants. Another idea Mr. Maguire puts forward is to buy electricity from Quebec, which is also a nonstarter, again because of opposition from the nuclear lobby. The fact that Mr. Maguire has attacked renewable energy helps consolidate the power of the nuclear establishment and this will guarantee higher hydro prices since refurbishing Ontario’s aging nuclear reactors will be very expensive. If Mr. Maguire had done his homework, he would have discovered that the cost of renewable energy has gone down
dramatically. It is quite likely to keep on going down and it will be the lower cost alternative. It should be noted that despite Mr. Maguire’s statement that there are fears in the community about “giant towers” (windmills) contributing to health problems, the Harper government, after doing a health study for a year, had to admit reluctantly that windmills do not cause health problems. Those who pine for the good old days when we had “cheap” nuclear energy should realize that we were never charged the true cost of nuclear and that’s why Ontario Hydro had a big debt, which became the stranded debt under Premier Mike Harris. The conclusion is that Mr. Maguire, without knowing it, is helping the nuclear lobby maintain its near monopoly and tight control of the Ontario electrical system and with it the guarantee that hydro rates will go up. The best chance we have of stopping this is to have a mix of renewable energy and electricity from Quebec. The added benefit of renewables is that we will have a clean, renewable source of energy without the hazards and waste of nuclear power. Wolfe Erlichman Godfrey

Finally, the brothers came upstairs, and they had to pass through our bedroom, which was really a big hall, leading to their beds in the back room. Emerson, whose mission in life seemed to make my life miserable, came right over to where I was sitting on the side of the bed waiting for Mother to come and hear our prayers. He thrust out his arm and there were the remains of one of the murdered fireflies! Of course, it had lost its glow. Audrey gave him a poke that sent him flying and told him to get ready for bed or he would be some sorry! And right then I knew what I was going to pray for. I was going to pray that the next time the

It took me a long time to fall asleep and when I did, I dreamed of angels breaking off little pieces of stars and sending them down to our farm in Northcote where they became fireflies. And I could see my brothers trying to catch them. But they soared way above the ground, and I dreamed I could hear the fireflies laughing. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

United Way Lanark County undertakes community consultation survey “United Way Lanark County (UWLC) wants to hear from our community to understand the needs of the residents of Lanark County and Smiths Falls,” says Helen McIntosh, board chair of UWLC. “To do that, we designed a short 10-question Community Consultation survey and we invite community members to complete the survey online before Oct. 28.” To access the survey please go to the UWLC website at www.lanarkunitedway.com, and click on the survey link. “UWLC will use the results to assist in future priority setting and funding decisions,” explains McIntosh. In 2014, after talking with community donors, partners, and other United Ways in Canada, UWLC introduced their Community Impact Grant (CIG) policy. This collective impact approach asks organizations to work together on vital projects for our communities. The project should address a demonstrated local need and align with one or more of UWLC’s three focus areas: All that kids can be, From poverty to possibility, and Healthy people, strong communities. Each of UWLC’s focus areas has two priority goals, which clearly define the objectives
SAVING ENERGY! Over 80% of energy used to wash clothes goes to heating water. Switching your temperature setting from hot to warm will also save you and cut a load’s energy use in half.

In operation since 1987, UWLC raised over $5.5 million in support of local initiatives during those 29 years. “We recently announced our commitment to investing $258,898 over the next three years into programs and projects. These will have a vital impact in our community, starting with an investment of $108,195 in 2016,” says Fraser Scantlebury, executive director. For a full list of funded projects, please see UWLC’s website at www. lanarkunitedway.com. “As part of our new CIG funding,” explains Scantlebury “we are able to extend funding for up to five years. This allows projects to have the time needed for our partners to achieve their goals.” United Way Lanark County is 100 per cent local – all funds raised in the area go towards assisting those in need in Lanark County and Smiths Falls. The UWLC volunteer board of directors of makes all funding decisions. Submitted by United Way Lanark County

How much would you go over budget to win a bidding war for your dream home? A new study of recent Ontario home buyers and home sellers, commissioned by the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO), found that 47 per cent of those polled would consider paying up to 10 per cent over their budget and 31 per centwould consider offering 10 to 20 per cent more to outbid the competition. In the Greater Toronto Area, where bidding wars are more likely to occur, 57 per cent of respondents would consider offering up to 10 per cent over budget and 38 per cent would consider going over their budget by between 10 to 20 per cent. To help consumers overcome the challenges of a hot market, Sept. 7 RECO launched the Be Home Smart Tour, a community outreach campaign that will travel to 13 locations across Ontario this fall and into 2017. The campaign includes an interactive display booth targeting those in the buying and/ or selling stage of their lives – engaged/newly married couples, new parents and
downsizing boomers. “Our research findings make it clear that too many Ontarians may be struggling to keep a cool head in the hot and highly-competitive real estate markets that are becoming the norm,” said Joe Richer, registrar of RECO. “Buying or selling a home can be a rollercoaster of emotions. People tend to let their heart rule their heads, especially first-time buyers,” he added. In fact, the survey found that 35 per cent of recent homebuyers said they let their emotions influence them more than they should have the last time they purchased a home. Among millennials 18 to 34 years of age, the number jumped to 42 per cent. “Real estate transactions can happen at lightning speed, especially in markets where there is a shortage of listings. The best way to make quick decisions in the heat of the moment is to prepare in advance,” Richer said. The RECO Be Home Smart Tour made its first stop at Canada’s Bridal Show in Toronto at the Metro Convention Centre Sept. 9 to 11
and will also be visiting other locations in Toronto and London this fall. About RECO RECO regulates the real estate profession in Ontario. RECO is responsible for administering the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 (REBBA 2002) and associated regulations on behalf of the provincial government. In order to trade in real estate in Ontario, brokers and salespersons must be registered under REBBA 2002. RECO’s mission is excellence in the delivery of regulatory services that protect the public interest and enhance consumer confidence in the real estate profession. RECO is part of Consumer Protection Ontario (CPO), an awareness program from Ontario’s Ministry of Government and Consumer Services. CPO helps Ontarians learn about the right questions to ask before making important purchasing decisions. For more information, visit www.reco.on.ca. Source: Real Estate Council of Ontario
Housing market responds to increasing supply level during month of August: CMHC The trend measure of housing starts in Canada was 195,640 units in August compared to 201,379 in July, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “Housing starts declined in August, as construction of multi-unit dwellings slowed in most regions, led by lower activity in Alberta and Manitoba,” said Bob Dugan, CMHC chief economist. “However, housing market activity levels remain elevated and this decline in starts is the market’s response to increasing levels of supply. Multi-unit inventories are above average in
KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE TEMP!
several major markets across the country.” CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of Canada’s housing market. In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading, as they are largely driven by the multi-unit segment of the market that can vary significantly from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR for all areas in Canada was 182,703 units in August, down from 194,663 units in July. The SAAR of urban starts decreased by 6.1 per cent in August to 167,879
units. Multiple urban starts decreased by 7.3 per cent to 111,378 units in August and single-detached urban starts decreased by 3.7 per cent to 56,501 units. In August, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts decreased in the Prairies, British Columbia, Ontario, and in Atlantic Canada, but increased in Quebec. Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 14,824 units. CMHC contributes to the stability of the housing market and financial system, provides support for Canadians in housing need, and offers objective housing research and information to Canadian governments, consumers and the housing industry.

One day I woke up from my afternoon nap at the Perth Pet Valu store to find my brother Benny had left the bed already. I quickly jumped from my cage to look for him as it was playtime. I looked and looked and could not believe my ears when they told me he had left to his forever home. I cried for a while and was comforted by the nice ladies in the store. They told me soon a forever home would come for me too. Since then I am eagerly awaiting who comes first to pick me up.

Little boy’s loss frames true story of the Titanic disaster In the days following the tragic sinking of the ‘Titanic’ off Newfoundland in April 1912, the crews of two cable repair ships took on the grim task of recovering as many bodies as possible before the unforgiving waters of the North Atlantic claimed them for eternity. Among the remains crew from the British registered vessel ‘MackayBennett’ plucked from the sea was that of a tiny boy. He was warmly dressed but his was the only body recovered who was not wearing a life jacket. Speculation was that the little lad was sheltered in his mother’s arms when the giant liner plunged to an icy grave early on the morning of April 15, 1912. Everyone knows the Titanic story. Her sad end, on the vessel’s maiden voyage, is one of the most often told and retold real life disaster tales of all time. There is a painful story attached to each of the more than 1,500 passengers and crew who went down with the ship. The saddest fact of all is that had the shipping rules of the day been different most, if not all, of those aboard the grand ship would have been saved. There simply weren’t enough lifeboats to accommodate the more than 2,200 occupants and just 706 were rescued. The blond-haired boy’s body was located on April 20, one of 306 Ti-
tanic victims recovered by the Mackay-Bennett. Only 328 bodies in total were ever found. In early May a funeral service was held for the youngster and he was buried in Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax. His final resting place is at the end of one of three long rows of graves containing the remains of 121 Titanic passengers and crew. Fairview has more Titanic burials than any cemetery in the world. In addition 19 victims were interred at Mount Olivet Cemetery and 10 at Baron de Hirsch Cemetery, elsewhere in Halifax. The little lad’s original marker, paid for by Mackay-Bennett sailors who were so moved when they retrieved his body, is engraved in capital letters. It reads: “Erected to the memory of an unknown child whose remains were recovered after the disaster to the “Titanic” April 15th, 1912.” The grave of the unknown child soon came to symbolize the lives of the 53 young children who perished in the Titanic disaster. But that is not the end of the story as you will discover as you continue to read my column this week. On Sunday, Aug. 7 my wife Kathleen and I, in the company of our good friends Frank and Wendy LeBlanc, visited Fairview Lawn Cemetery in Halifax. It is a well-kept burial ground and due to its prominence the section containing the graves of
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Titanic victims is well marked. Fairview is among the top destinations in Halifax due to its connection to the most well-known maritime disaster of all time. Personal journey We were deeply moved by the experience! For the LeBlancs and Maguires, the Fairview visit completed a personal journey which began in Ireland two years ago. In June 2014, two years and two months after the 100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking, the four of us visited the most prominent locations connected with the great ship. First we went to Cobh (formerly Queenstown) which is located near Ireland’s second city, Cork, on the south coast of the island nation. Queenstown was the last port of call for Titanic before she ventured west, meeting an untimely and disastrous end. At Queenstown some passengers disembarked, thus escaping death,
while others boarded and were never seen again. There is a monument to the victims in Queenstown, along with a visitors’ centre which includes details of the Titanic story, but with particular emphasis on those passengers with connections to Ireland. On the way to Cobh our tour bus also stopped at the nearby Old Church Cemetery which contains three mass graves and several other individual graves of 193 people who perished when the British liner ‘Lusitania’ was torpedoed by a German submarine off Old Head of Kinsale, not far from present day Cobh. That sinking occurred on May 7, 1915, just over three years after the Titanic tragedy and took the lives of nearly 1,200 passengers and crew. Lusitania is also well remembered in the former Queenstown! We toured the excellent Maritime museum in Cobh which features both great liners. Just a week later the four of us were in Northern Ireland. In Belfast we saw Harland and Wolff shipyard where Titanic was constructed. We also toured the truly incredible ‘Titanic Belfast’ museum. Opened in March 2012 Titanic Belfast has quickly become the most visited attraction in the Northern Ireland capital. I highly recommend the high-tech experience which offers the most complete information available on Titanic. Visiting and viewing the many Ti-
tanic graves in Halifax provides real names and underlines the true stories involved in a disaster which, over the years, has often been over dramatized. Hollywood movies have failed to do justice to this all too real tragedy! Of the 150 Titanic burials in Halifax, 41 are unknown. There were 42. Until researchers uncovered the true identity of the tiny boy I mentioned earlier. It took nearly a century, but due to the miracle of DNA profiling his identity is no longer a mystery. His name was Sidney Leslie Goodwin. He was just one year, 225 days old when he and all of his family perished in the Titanic sinking. Sidney’s parents Frederick and Augusta were taking their six children to a new life in Niagara Falls, New York at the time of the disaster. Also lost were Sidney’s five siblings Lillian, Charles, William, Jessie (a female) and Harold. None of the other Goodwin family members were identified among those bodies recovered, although it is possible one or more are among the other unknowns interred in Halifax. The Goodwin’s, who hailed from Melksham, Wiltshire, England were third class passengers. A sad truth in the wake of the Titanic tragedy is that third class passengers were not always treated with the same respect and dignity as their first and second See MAGUIRE page 20

class counterparts. But that’s another story! According to a Canadian Press article, written in the fall of 2012, it was partly due to the efforts of Halifax author and researcher Alan Ruffman that Sidney was identified. He helped push for an exhumation and the subsequent DNA analysis. That story begins in 2002. However, it was not a straight path to success. Initial examination of the remains concluded the young victim was a 13-month-old Finnish boy. Shoes a clue Two years later a family from Ontario donated a pair of mottled brown shoes they claim belonged to the same youngster. Incredibly they were descendants of a Halifax police officer who recovered the small shoes while standing guard over the remains of Titanic victims and their belongings in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. The shoes are now on display at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic on the Halifax waterfront. Investigators concluded the shoes were too large for
a 13-month-old. Through a process of elimination the search eventually focused on 19-month-old Sidney Goodwin. Researchers at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario then took on the task of cross-matching DNA from the victim with descendants of the Goodwin family. In 2010 their more advanced DNA coding method produced the results so many were hoping for. Now, if you visit Fairview Cemetery you will see a new marker bearing the name Sidney Leslie Goodwin and his birth and death dates (Sept. 9, 1910 and April 15, 1912). There is also a very good photo of the little lad there which is bound to bring tears to your eyes. People are good and many visitors have left mementos at the base of the original marker. The number four, which has been assigned to Sidney’s grave, appears at the bottom of the new temporary marker. In addition flowers, Canadian coins (of various denominations), a handwritten note and a stuffed animal adorned the grave when we were there last month. Perhaps in time a new marker will be raised at the
site, although in a way I would rather it be left as a tribute to the 75 crew members of the C.S. Mackay-Bennett. They insisted on paying for the funeral and marker despite overtures from many others who wished to underwrite the costs. The ship’s company marched together to the funeral service for the then unknown little boy which was held on May 4, 1912 in St. George’s Anglican Church in Halifax. Thousands viewed the church parade. Official reports on the Titanic sinking contain this poignant notation. “Unknown child buried by crew of C.S. Mackay-Bennett, by special request.” I photographed many other marked graves of Titanic victims in the Halifax cemetery. There is an interesting history behind every one of those individuals. To me though it is the story of Sidney Goodwin, a blondhaired boy who died far before his time that frames this terrible tragedy and brings the true story of the Titanic to life for anyone who visits Fairview Cemetery.

Miracle landing only part of tale in Eastwood film MOVIE: Sully STARRING: Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney and Mike O’Mally DIRECTOR: Clint Eastwood RATING: PG The Miracle on the Hudson captivated the world. We all know what happened that day. We saw the news, we saw the interviews, we saw the crew on David Letterman. So why do we need a movie? Sully goes beyond the news to tell the story behind the events, and connect with the people who made it happen. On January 15, 2009 US Airways flight 1549 out of LaGuardia Airport was struck by a flock of geese. With both engines inoperable, and the plane rapidly losing thrust, Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger and co-pilot Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) were forced to take emergency action. Runways were cleared for an emergency landing, but their altitude was too low. Sully knew they would never make an airport so he took the only option available to him. He landed his plane on the Hudson River. For every condition and factor to come into play the way they did was a miracle. For Sully to land his plane on the Hudson,

and have every single passenger and crewmember walk away unharmed was beyond belief. Sully takes us into those events second-by-second and momentby-moment. It also takes us to the events that happened after. We see the investigation of the crash. We see head investigator Charles Porter (Mike O’Mally) claim Sully could have made it to an airport. We see the engineers’ reports, the computer simulations and pilot simulations, and the toll it all takes on Sully as he second guesses and questions everything that happened in those three minutes. Like most people I knew the facts of the events surrounding Sully. What I didn’t know was what happened during the investigation. I didn’t know they tried to blame Sully for what happened. Getting to see that investigation play out across the big screen is fascinating. Eastwood brings those details to light beautifully, but he does so much
more than that. His focus is on the people, and Chesley Sullenberger in particular. It’s on who Sully is, how he thinks, what motivates him, and how this whole thing affected him emotionally and psychologically. It’s a beautiful story. The supporting cast is excellent. Laura Linney, who plays Lorraine Sullenberger, Aaron Eckhart, and Mike O’Mally show such conviction and integrity in their performances. These are real events and real people, and the cast is extremely sensitive to that. Tom Hanks is one of those rare talents who can do anything. He can do comedy, he can star in an action film, and he can do drama. In Sully he doesn’t play Chesley Sullenberger, he inhabits him. He becomes him. Hanks doesn’t try to make Sully into someone he isn’t. He gives an honest portrayal, and in doing so creates something powerful. Sully takes an already remarkable story and gives us the story behind the story. It goes beyond the facts to give us an intimate look at the real people involved. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Jordan Yolkowskie and Sarah Patterson know the importance of home and family. Standing in the living room of the new Minto Dream Home on Sept. 12, the couple, from Lombardy, Ont. near Smiths Falls, held a photo of their eight-month-old daughter Everley, who is currently receiving life-saving care at CHEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent a total of 210 days at CHEO,â&#x20AC;? said Patterson. Their daughter was born with a rare genetic condition known as congenital central hypoventilation syndrome, which affects just 1,000 people worldwide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She essentially stops breathing when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleeping,â&#x20AC;? Patterson said of her first born, who also suffers from a seizure disorder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a struggle every day with her,â&#x20AC;? Yolkowskie said of Everley, who had to be resuscitated 17 times in a single day two weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really are dealing with life and death every day with her,â&#x20AC;? said Patterson. Their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience is why the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support is needed to help fund the work that CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical team is doing to save the lives of thousands of children every year.

You’re a snowbird and for years you’ve rented a condo in southern climes. What a great way to relax and enjoy life while avoiding Canada’s frosty winters! But this coming winter may turn out to be less (financially) relaxing for you than most. Around April is the time when many snowbirds make the decision about where they’ll be living when they head south. They make their decisions, sign their rental agreements and pay their deposits – in other words, they are “locked in”. That’s exactly what you did last April and then…the exchange rate continued to drop. Now, that rental deal that looked quite economical in April will look a lot less attractive this fall and winter. So, what do you do when April 2017 rolls around? Do you roll the dice and secure a condo rental for winter 2017? Or do you “exchange” your shorts for a snowsuit and “exchange” a pîna colada on the beach for a Canadian slushy at home? With uncertainty on whether the exchange rate will improve any time soon, you may be inclined to forego your southern sojourn next winter – but you have other options. You could opt to rent for a shorter period or wait past next April to see if you can get a better rental deal: Because of the exchange rate, condo avails may be up and demand may be down prompting rental agencies to lower their rents (especially those that rely on snowbirds to boost sales). Here are some other tips for getting more from the lowering loonie on your next trip south: • Explore the exchange rates offered by boutique currency exchange companies.
Invest in life. Contact us for more information.
Manage Your Money The Canadian Snowbirds Association provides a currency exchange program that offers very competitive rates. • Buy U.S. dollars over the year whenever the loonie goes up. • Open a U.S. dollar account at a bank that offers no-cost transfers from a Canadian U.S. dollar account to a U.S. dollar account in the United States. • If you’re flying, consider doing so from a U.S. border airport where airfares may be cheaper. • Check out more affordable destinations away from the usual southern “hotspots”; the exchange rate and cost of living may be more favourable in Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama and other non-traditional southern locations. It’s an unavoidable fact: No one can predict the future with 100% accuracy. The key is to be prepared for whatever comes. That’s why planning for the most economical snowbird sojourn is important – and why total financial planning for all your retirement years is even more vital.

TV personality Kathie Donovan guest speaker at Brett Pearson Run for Your Life Sept. 24 Brian Turner
It would be hard to find too many people in our area that haven’t heard of Kathie Donovan. Her 14-year stint on CTV Ottawa’s very popular Regional Contact made her a fixture in almost every home in eastern Ontario. But unlike most fixtures that become dated and collect dust, Kathie has embarked on a new and exciting career (or life journey as she calls it) and she shows absolutely no sign of slowing down. Kathie has already penned one very successful book (Inspiration in Action: A Women’s Guide to Happiness, released in 2013) and has another in the final stages set to be released this fall. It’s entitled Unconform: Harnessing the Power of Courage. Both will be available online at kathiedonovan.com. Since leaving CTV four years ago, Kathie has focused on making complicated things easy as she puts it and putting the final touches on her first book, started when still co-hosting Regional Contact. “That show was heart and soul TV,” she remarked in a recent interview and “clearly demonstrated to me that no matter what different paths our lives and careers take us down, we are all the same.” She gravitated to the philosophy of the law of attraction (a concept that envisions positive thoughts and energies attracting positive life outcomes and negatives bringing less desired results).

quickly got past the “airy-fairiness” (her words) that many experts and authors have built around this guide to life and got down to the science of it and how it can benefit anyone. Her first book (Inspiration in Action) applies equally to both genders and contains several easy to complete exercises that reveal worlds about our attitudes and outlooks. She has now developed workshops for employers and other groups to help people declutter, refocus and build teamwork as well as improve communication. She will be a special guest speaker at this year’s Brett Pearson Run for Your Life being held Saturday, Sept. 24 in Carleton Place. Below is an excerpt from her second book about Brett and his mother Nicole and her journey powered by courage. “When I heard about Nicole Pearson and her son Brett’s story, I marveled at the courage she embraces to move forward and honour her son’s legacy. I think you will too. The Worst Loss: A Mother’s Message of Hope “If only he could have reached out for help.” These are the words I spoke after the painful loss of my precious son to suicide in 2006.

How do I speak to others, feeling so much pain in my heart as a result of his premature departure? How do I find the

words and hide the tears when people ask me about Brett? I survive somehow. Every chance I have, I speak of Brett, holding on to the belief that I might reach a hurting soul so that his story won’t become someone else’s story. How do I begin with this story? With Brett’s energy. I always tried to present the positive side of life to my son. This is where I would like to start with my story, with the positive moments in my son’s life. As I look back on Brett’s childhood, I remember a beautiful blonde-haired, blueeyed boy with glasses, a child who had the looks to be cast in a TV cookie commercial. Brett was so full of life. As a youngster, his beautiful smile came easily as he worked on construction projects. Wherever our family lived, a patch of grass in our backward would be transformed into a construction zone with orange plastic cones carefully placed on dirt roads, so he could easily man oeuvre his wagon. I remember one winter in Carleton Place, where the sidewalks were meticulously plowed with his modified wagon. Brett had attached a plough to the front of his small wagon and fastened a blue light, pretending to be a town worker. Wearing his reflective vest and the blue light flashing as he pushed the snow off the sidewalks is a picture that will stay in my memory forever. As the years passed, Brett’s talents broadened into designing and building See DONOVAN page 26

bicycles. He printed plans from the internet, purchased the metal and welded the pieces together to make a frame. He then attached the handlebars, gears and brakes. As he applied the final coat of paint to his masterpieces, I could see this grin expressing his satisfaction of a project fait accompli. Brett also loved to ride his four-wheeler and snow mobile. He would head out to the trails behind our home, trimming branches and clearing paths in the bush for others. Brett had so much to live for. So, what happened to the hope and promise that life held for him? Why had this bright, creative, hard-working, sensitive teenager give up on life? I wish I had the answer. My son’s greatest quality was to help anyone who crossed his path. After his death, Brett’s friends and the parents in the community revealed to our family how Brett was a helping hand, always jumping at the chance to repair a lamp, a lawn mower, bicycles, cutting wood, and even stopping to help strangers on the roadside. Our last enjoyable time together was in July 2006, when Brett, his younger brother, Dennis, and I went up to my brother’s cottage in the Gatineau Hills. On this summer vacation, Brett built a cedar swing, expressing again his creative talent. We had a wonderful time, not knowing what would occur four months down the road. How I wish I could turn the clock back to the precious time we had. On a sadder note, Brett was suffering
emotionally. Many problems plagued his life. As one bad day slipped into another, depression took a strong hold on his emotions. Brett had difficulty reaching out for help, but my son hid his problems and his despair. I gave him unconditional love and would drop anything I was doing any day to help him with his various issues. If Brett would have had faith that the difficulties he was encountering at the time were just temporary, then he would have had the hope he desperately needed to continue on in life. On that fateful day, Brett had deep feelings of sadness, hopelessness and helplessness. It must have been like he was carrying a sack over his shoulder that was weighing him down and on Nov. 20, the burden became too much. Brett phoned me on that “black” day; I clearly remember our conversation. Was he phoning me, just to talk, maybe to hear my voice for the last time, but looking back I do remember saying “I love you” before we hung up. Knowing he heard those loving words from his mother gives me some comfort. I didn’t sense any desperation in his voice; it was just a normal conversation. Whatever made him decide to carry out his act, I know that at that moment in time he couldn’t think clearly or logically and was focused on the terrible feelings he was experiencing. He probably couldn’t see better times ahead and Brett wanted a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Sadly, Brett ended his life. I was the one to find Brett when I returned from work, five hours after our
previous conversation. I performed CPR on my son desperately hoping I could save him until emergency help arrived. How do I make sense of all of this? The order of my life was changed forever. How can a parent make sense of their child departing the world before them? I previously mentioned that my son’s greatest quality was helping others. Therefore, I decided to continue on with his mission. My work in helping youth started shortly after my son’s passing. At the time, the community was grieving and I felt a need to reach out to my son’s friends and the students at Carleton Place High School. I delivered a presentation to the Grade 11 and 12 students and from the students’ response, I knew that this was my calling. I wanted to get my message across to young people that they are not alone when faced with problems and that they don’t have to face the troubled times on their own. I wanted so desperately to let them know how to reach out to others and persuade them that problems are temporary and solvable. With the support of family, friends and the community, I have delivered over 150 presentations in the schools and publicly, reaching more than 5,500 individuals. I feel my dear Brett is close by as I deliver my messages of hope and this helps with my own grief. My undertaking took a new journey in 2011 when I organized, with the help of members of the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee, the first annual Brett Pearson Run for Your Life. The event in 2011 was held on Sept. 10, which is World Suicide Prevention Day. In prep-
aration for the event, the Carleton Place Town Council declared Sept. 10 as Suicide Awareness Day in Carleton Place. The Brett Pearson Run for Your Life Memorial Run/Walk opens up the opportunity to reach many individuals who may be struggling in our communities. Every year the event brings more people out on this very special day, as we discuss mental illness, depression, suicide, post-traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse. As I drive down our main street several days before Brett’s event, I drive frequently under the large banner stretched across the street. The tears come easily, seeing my precious son’s smiling picture on this banner, however it is as if he is watching over his whole community. My son’s life has taken a spiritual life of its own through this event, hopefully saving many lives along the way. The grief from a child’s death by suicide is unique. The lives of parents, families and friends are irreversibly changed by suicide. I have come to understand why the pain is so intense. Parents are left shattered and with the unanswerable question of “Why?” A child is the expression of parents’ love at its fullest; they are born as extensions of us. The child-mother bond has so many threads on so many levels that the ties are beyond biological. The connection originates at a spiritual level. I realized that I couldn’t move forward on my own and had to reach out for help. I was fortunate to have received wonderful support. I tell this story when I speak to youth: I tell them about how I needed support for myself; I explain that even though

problems can be quite overwhelming at times, reaching out to someone we trust can make such a difference. We are all faced with obstacles, how we survive these obstacles depends on whether our tool box is equipped with survivor tools. My goal and passion through my presentations is to pass on these resources, especially for our youth. “No problem is so big that it can’t be solved with help.” At first, and often for some time, it seemed impossible even to imagine finding peace of mind and heart. However, change did come over the months and years thanks to the support I received from my family and friends, as well as my community work. It was possible to rebuild my life and move forward, carrying with me the love for my child. The Brett Pearson Run for Your Life is an expression of the love I have for my precious Brett. I have him here with me in my heart, as I do always still breathing in the beauty and love that his spirit brings. — Nicole Pearson Nicole’s courage extends in all directions of her life. She models for her family and for the students she reaches with her presentations what a courageous life looks like. Yes, we need to inspire and encourage young people to ask for help when they feel they need it and we need to have that same message reach adults too. It takes courage to ask for support at any age and there is no shame and/or blame in asking for and receiving support when we need it.” – Kathie Donovan

Sole Sisters kick off their fall fundraising blitz in preparation for Oct. 16 Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Sheila Coutts and France Murdoch really are soul sisters. They speak from the heart and are joined by a common thread - running. But even before that thread started to weave its way through their lives in the form of training with early morning walks and running stints, Coutts and Murdoch were united with a passion for helping others at CHEO, where they worked as registered nurses from 1996 to 2009. Coutts has been a longtime marathon runner and had competed in several Ottawa Race Weekend events raising money for local charities. She started running after busting up her ankle while walking. Murdoch said she became a marathon participant herself, thanks to an off-the-cuff remark she made to her race walking father. A passion for marathon running was soon born and they decided to train for a half-marathon to take place in Niagara Falls in the fall of 2012. That’s when Coutts got the news that no one ever wants to hear - she was diagnosed with lung cancer. Even though it’s more common than ever, you never really get used to hearing that dreaded ‘C’ word, Coutts said during a coffee break with Murdoch and the Record News last week. “I was more determined than ever to run this race,” Coutts said. But she was diagnosed just two weeks before that event, and soon her treatment would begin. She wasn’t sure how she’d be feeling, or if she’d be well enough to run.
Well, she did run – and so did Murdoch. They ran the half-marathon distance from Perth to Smiths Falls instead of the Niagara Falls event, of which they had to pull out at the last minute. “I put a shout-out on Facebook, and kicked her off my friends’ list,” Murdoch said with a grin. “She was just starting to learn it, so she didn’t even know what I did. I didn’t want her to see what I was planning.” What Murdoch planned was to attract as many people as she could to join her and Coutts on their trek into Smiths Falls from Perth. Coutts still gets emotional about that first event, but cracks up laughing when she talks about the turkey. “I thought it was dead,” she said, when they came across a turkey that was sprawled out on the road. “Then it just started to get up and shake and away it went!” The support the women received that first year encouraged them to host the event the following year. And the Sole Sisters Run for Cancer Research was born. Oct. 16 marks year four. All funds raised go to cancer research, for which Coutts said she’s grateful. There is no stress to raise a certain amount through pledges; although they don’t discourage folks from doing that if they so wish. Now Coutts has completed her third round of cancer treatments, the final one was four months ago, during which time, she was taking a trial drug. “It seems to have shrunk the tumor in my lymph node,” she said, as she felt under her collar. “I could feel it

this year’s event will be presented to the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital’s new oncology unit at the Great War Memorial Site in Perth. “We have raised $20,000 since we

started,” Murdoch said. “But this is nice that the hospital has just opened this new oncology unit, and they are expecting to be able to treat 100 people locally. It will be great to give back to our community.” If there is anything that Coutts has learned through her years of battling three bouts of cancer it’s to live in the moment. “Train yourself to think in the present, and to enjoy the moment,” she said. “I have learned to live for today… I’m very grateful for today.” That’s why this walk/run is not just for Coutts, she said. “It’s for everyone. Research now gives hope, and it’s so important to know that cancer is no longer a death sentence.” This year’s event will take place from Lower Reach Park, starting with registration at 8 a.m. But the women are encouraging people to register online early to avoid the rush. You can do that here: https://raceroster.com/ events/2016/9388/4th-annual-sole-sisters-charity-event-for-cancer-research The 2km walk or run is $20; the 5km walk/run and a 10km walk/run are $40 each.

MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY BOOT TOLL
With the upcoming fall season approaching us, the urge may present itself for you to throw a log into the woodstove or start up the furnace to take the chill off the morning air. The Perth Fire Department recommends that all home owners have their heating systems maintained well before the heating season begins. Faulty furnaces not only waste energy, but they pose carbon monoxide and fire hazards. Gas, oil, propane and wood burning appliances, as well as all chimneys, should be inspected and cleaned by qualified contractors, to ensure all components are in good working condition. Squirrels or birds may have built nests in your chimney over the summer months and that could pose a real hazard when you start up your heating appliances. Do not pile boxes, papers, or any other combustibles around your heating appliances. Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors monthly. Batteries in detectors should be changed in or around the end of October to coincide with the changing of daylight saving time to standard time. Smoke detectors are required on all levels of your homes. Carbon Monoxide detectors are required outside all sleeping areas. Fire extinguishers are your first line of defense in a fire. Buy one today and contact us if you require advice on operating and maintaining them. Fire extinguishers are date coded and most have a 25 year shelf life. For any inquires related to home safety, please contact the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574. Remember to use 911 in an emergency only.

Facebook photo consideration for the
St. Marys Mayor Al Strathdee, left, meets with former federal cabinet minister Peter McKay in this undated photo.
Photo by Bob Johnston
According to analyst Greg Gormick, at right, this is what the Canadian Pacific “Havelock Sub” in Tweed, Ont., looks like currently. This would be part of VIA Rail’s proposed Peterborough to Smiths Falls line, cutting through Perth.
VIA
From front page
according to Strathdee, he promised the return of a 6:30 a.m. train to Toronto. In the intervening year, Strathdee has not heard any more on the project from VIA. “He (Desjardins-Siciliano) made a guarantee that it would happen and it hasn’t happened,” said Strathdee. “I have not seen any commitments. I had a lot of optimism when there was a change of government.” He chastised the federal government for not investing more in VIA Rail in the last budget. “It’s death by 1,000 cuts,” he said. “I don’t see any reinvestment in VIA. You have to reinvest to keep it up.” St. Marys is situated between London and Stratford in south-western Ontario, and Strathdee said that several municipalities offered help to VIA to get the Stratford project up and running. “I don’t know why they would make that announcement and get our hopes up,” said Strathdee. “This country was built on rails.” St. Marys is not giving up on trying to keep this issue to the fore. A rail advocacy group, All Aboard St. Marys (AASM) fronted by a local car dealer, Chris West, will be holding a rally on Sept. 16, to raise awareness about the service. One of the consultants for AASM is Greg Gormick. “This is part of a whole scam,” he said during a telephone interview on Thursday, Sept. 8. He heard about the plans for the proposed Peterborough-to-Smiths Falls line from The Perth Courier, and said that, “in theory, (it) sounds great. It’s bull…It’s an inferior route. There is a reason why it was abandoned.” The proposed route would run along a portion of the Trans Canada Trail, which uses the former rail bed (the last train to service Perth ran through in 1965). However, the trail dips to the south to avoid the Canadian Shield, he said. “That means a lot of curves and hills,” he said. If the proposed link is being done to get some traffic off the Toronto to Montreal line, the Peterborough to Smiths Falls route “makes no sense.” His solution is to “build more capacity along the lakeshore.” “Why is he (Desjardins-Siciliano) doing this?” asked Gormick. “I really don’t know.” (A VIA Rail press release obtained by this
newspaper, dated June 15, 2015, said that Desjardins-Siciliano hosted a roundtable discussion on June 16, at the town hall in St. Marys, where Gormick, West, and Strathdee, as well as St. Marys’ Deputy Mayor Carey Pope, were in attendance.) Gormick said that he is concerned that Perth, like St. Marys, “is being led on…Perth’s greatest hope is having a decent bus service,” to connect to the Smiths Falls VIA station. Gormick, a former VIA Rail employee, makes no bones that he is a long-time critic of the arms-length Crown corporation. The plan, announced by Perth Mayor John Fenik at the Aug. 30 town council meeting, would see the service run on electric rails, something Gormick said would “add a billion (dollars) to the cost.” There is another similarity between St. Marys and Perth: multiple ownerships of the different tracks in question. To the south, the line from Toronto’s Union Station, according to Gormick, is owned by GO Transit, the provincial transit agency for the Greater Toronto Area. The portion of line from Bramalea, a suburb northwest of Toronto, to Georgetown is owned by Canadian National (CN), while GO Transit then runs the remainder of the line from Georgetown to Kitchener. From Kitchener onwards to London, CN leases the track to the Goderich-Exeter Railway. For the Peterborough to Smiths Falls line, however, for the portion along the Trans Canada Trail, “have they discussed this with the trail owners?” VIA Rail response In an email response to a query from The Perth Courier, Mariam Diaby, a senior media relations advisor for VIA Rail Canada, received late on Monday, Sept. 12, wrote that “VIA Rail is currently conducting due diligence on its proposal to build a dedicated passenger railway track in the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal corridor. One of the options under consideration by VIA Rail include the Shining Waters Railway Plan, which aims to provide passenger service from Toronto to Havelock, and its extension all the way to Ottawa, using existing or discontinued railroad rights of way.” She added that contractors are in the midst of conducting “basic inspections on former railway beds and infrastructure that is under
project. Technical assessments will provide a better understanding of the potential route options.” She also stressed that this proposal “is a VIA Rail management initiative and does not reflect the government of Canada’s policies.” As for the train service in southwestern Ontario, “last summer we announced our plans to increase frequencies between Toronto and London and dwell trains overnight in Stratford, therefore having trains that would start in Stratford or even in St. Marys, going into Toronto. We also would like to have trains going from Toronto southwest towards Kitchener-Waterloo in the morning.” She went on to write that VIA has been in discussions with Canadian National (CN) Rail. “We have co-funded a capacity study to see what type of work would have to be done in order to facilitate this schedule.”

It’s also a weekend that doesn’t step on anyone else’s toes,” as far as fundraising events are concerned. Murdoch said they were going to break tradition this year by welcoming warmer weather. “Last year it was zero degrees, and the weekend before and after it was 20 degrees,” she said. “We’ve had a jump in registration already, and we encourage people to register early so we know how many there will be for breakfast.

Walkers join in kidney fundraiser for many reasons Chris Must
chrismust@metroland.com
Some were walking for family members or friends, and some were walking for themselves. Every participant in the 2016 Perth/Smiths Falls Kidney walk had a special reason for taking part. The annual 5 km walk, held Sunday, Sept. 11 from the Crystal Palace in Perth, had a fundraising target of $10,000. In the six years the walk has been held, over $70,000 has been raised to support the efforts of the Kidney Foundation. Caleb Robson of Lombardy attended the walk with his family. In 2007 at the age of 48 he was diagnosed with kidney failure. Three years ago he received a successful kidney transplant. Robson’s troubles began when ill health forced him to make frequent trips to the hospital. “My levels were just not good for my kidneys, and they said, ‘You need to see a specialist now,’” he recalled. Doctors found a growth on Robson’s pancreas, and decided to remove half of his pancreas and spleen – fortunately it turned out not to be cancer.
Some time later, another tumour was removed. Because it wasn’t cancerous, the doctors were able to go ahead with the transplant operation. A person can’t have a transplant without being cancer-free for five years. “My baby sister ended up being a match,” said Robson. Extensive testing of both the donor and the recipient took place to make sure the transplant would be successful, and that it wouldn’t harm the donor. While waiting for a transplant Robson underwent regular dialysis treatments, first in Kingston, and then at the dialysis unit at the Smiths Falls Site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital. These days, said Robson, who still works fulltime managing a NAPA auto parts store in Carleton Place, life is good. Due to the anti-rejection drugs he has had to take, “I have now immune system now, and never will. Other than that, it’s been a blessing.” Lynn Marsh, a walk team member, said she was involved in the walk because her sister and two nieces have PKD, or polycystic kidney disease. Because her sister, like many oth-
ers, will need a transplant at some point, Marsh said, walk organizers also place a lot of emphasis on raising awareness of the need for organ donation. Walk ambassador Sarah Wilcox, a 25-year-old Perth resident, suffers from Goodpasture Syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease. “Your body creates antibodies that attack your kidneys,” said Wilcox. “I’ve know that my kidneys were going to fail since 2014.” Wilcox said her father is hoping to donate a kidney. “Tell people to sign their donor cards,” she said. “That’s my main message.” Wilcox has been on dialysis since December. Thanks to the Kidney Foundation and the donors who provide financial support, this year Wilcox was able to go to Camp Dorset in the Muskoka District, a summer camp for patients on dialysis. “The Kidney Foundation paid for the whole thing,” she said. “I didn’t have to pay a cent.” Top fundraiser at the 2016 Kidney Walk was Glenn Richards, a resident of the Rideau Ferry area, who collected more

Richards said some credit belongs to his daughter Nina, who helped raise about a quarter of the amount. As a patient at the dialysis unit in Smiths Falls, Richards said his efforts were in support of the unit.
“It’s really saved me a lot of wear and tear, because I was going to Kingston,” Richards said. Tony Nicholls of Perth, who has family members waiting for transplants, wears a green ribbon at all times to remind people of the need for organ do-
nors. “There’s a lot of need out there, and not enough kidneys, livers and hearts to go around,” said Nicholls. He said anyone can visit the website beadonor.ca and enter their health card number to find out if they are registered as a donor.

New Welcome Wagon rep takes over Perth area
chrismust@metroland.com
Welcome Wagon’s new Perth area representative knows the area well, and looks forward to meeting lots of new people. Dianne Pinder-Moss became the representative for the area, which includes Perth, Sharbot Lake, Westport, and Lanark Highlands, in mid-August. She has already made one home visit, with two more booked in the near future. “Being from the Perth area, born and raised there, I’m quite
familiar with the area, and love meeting people,” said PinderMoss. Welcome Wagon was founded in the United States, and came to Canada in 1930. It takes its name from the Conestoga wagons of frontier days, when settlers would bring supplies to greet passing wagon trains and encourage them to settle in their community. As a public service Welcome Wagon distributes literature for civic, cultural and social organizations, recreational services, the town or city hall, commu-
nity services, and police and fire departments. In the Perth area, baskets delivered to new residents include information on the community put together by the chamber of commerce, a letter from the mayor, gifts from business sponsors, and gift cards offering $5 or $10 off purchases, and other items such as complimentary furnace filters. One business supplies a sock, so the customer can visit the store and pick up a pair. “Welcome Wagon is not only about welcoming new people,
but also introducing people to the business sponsors,” said Pinder-Moss. Some of the business sponsors also participate in the baskets put together for new babies. Newcomers to the community and those expecting babies are located through complimentary ads in the media, word-ofmouth, referrals from friends, and through a referral service. If someone in the Perth area would like a visit, they may contact Pinder-Moss at 613-2832857 or by email at dpindermoss@gmail.com.

British Home Child conference to be held in Perth on Sept. 24 Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
From orphaned children who were placed in care because their parents simply could not afford them, to children taken off of the streets, the legacy of the British Home Children is still being felt. That legacy, which may have seen as many as 130,000 British children, from infants to teenagers shipped to Canada as child migrants between 1869 and the 1940s, will be celebrated in Perth Saturday, Sept. 24. The Ontario East British Home Child Family group’s fifth annual celebration, to mark British Home Child Day in Ontario, will be held at the Best Western Parkside Inn and Spa, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Smiths Falls resident Tom Brownell is not only helping organize the event, but he is also a descendant of one of the first waves of home children who stepped off of the boat on Sept.
28, 1891 – which is why Sept. 28, is recognized as British Home Child Day in Ontario. “We try to move this event around and we tried to tie it in with the 200th anniversary,” said Brownell during a telephone interview on Thursday, Sept. 8. The first event was held at Upper Canada Village in 2011, which drew more than 100 people. “This year is the first year we’ve had it up here,” though it has been held nearby in Brockville last year. “We have a lot of descendants up here… We are hoping for at least 100.” One of the top speakers scheduled to attend is Bob Stacey, who used to go around to area schools, “and he would tell stories about his father and my hope is that he outlines a bit of his history and the student reaction to it. It’s important that we get this out to the younger crowd.” Right now, he said, the story
of the British Home Children is an optional item on the Ontario curriculum, but “we are hopeful that the federal government can get in on it.” Brownell has been doing the rounds of seniors’ homes in Perth and Carleton Place to get the word out about the conference, which will feature a talk by local author Mary Cook, as well as a performance of “Home Child Songs” by students from The Stewart School. There will also be several exhibits chronicling family stories. There will also be a display at the hotel that will have been moved from Upper Canada Village for the occasion. The display on the Home Children can also be seen at the old Aultsville train station at the village until this Sunday, Sept. 18. It provides information, artefacts, and a chance to talk to volunteer descendants. Admission is free, though donations are appreciated.
Perth Terry Fox Run, this Sunday, is in Canada’s Top 20 such events Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
The Perth Terry Fox Run has been acclaimed as one of the top 20 such fundraisers, per capita, in Canada. Lori McMunn, the organizer of last year and this year’s run, also revealed that, according to the Terry Fox Foundation’s magazine, the Perth run also found itself in the top 20 per cent of races that saw an increase in runners. During a telephone interview from her offices at Finnegan Insurance Brokers Ltd., on Monday, Sept. 12, McMunn said that 319 runners in 2015, along with their supporters, brought in $40,442. “It was incredible last year,” she said, of the race, which was dedicated to Greg McNally and “it drew a different crowd.” This year’s race is dedicated to the memory of Hilary Drummond, daughter of Dr. Alan Drummond. The biggest one-off donation she has ever seen in her experience with the run came last year when an insurance company donated $10,000 to the event. If you are looking to make a dona-

tion, click on www.terryfox.ca/terryfoxrun/perth. There is also a Facebook page for the Perth run. This year’s Perth Terry Fox Run will be held this coming Sunday, Sept. 18 with registration running, so to speak, from 8:45 to 10:15 a.m., with both races starting at 10:30 a.m., at Conlon Farm. There will be a 5 km, family route or 10 km walk, run, or bike. The event also boasts a barbecue, activities for children like face painting and a bouncy castle, door prizes, and a silent auction. Parking is available, and water stations will be provided. The routes are 2.5km and 5 km, and are bicycle, stroller, rollerblade, and wheelchair accessible. Dogs can participate, but must be on a leash. As an organizer she will be back at Conlon Farm, McMunn will be busy in the background, but if she were running, she would be running for her father and uncle. Her uncle is in the midst of treatment for cancer, and her father has put up with 14 years of fighting cancer, taking part in experimental drug trials.

I could never be the Tooth Fairy
T
here are lots of things that make people squeamish. For some it’s snakes. For others it’s the dark or blood or spiders or other creepy crawlies. Some can’t bear poopy diapers (right, Groomboy?) while others feel barfy about snot – or about barf, for that matter. Except for snakes, I wouldn’t put any of the above on my “these are a few of my favourite things” list, but they don’t make me squeamish. Maggots in the green bin and wasps in the composter come close, but even they make me more mad than squeamish. There is one thing that is guaranteed to make my stomach flip. If you ever need to threaten me with torture in order to tell you state secrets (note: I don’t actually have any state secrets, so you’d really just be doing it for kicks), here’s what makes me squeamish: Teeth. OK, not “teeth” per se, which is good because mine are quite large and noticeable in the mirror. It’s more like “damaged teeth.” I have good teeth. They are strong and, so far, cavity free. I had a great dentist growing up who corralled them into what I think is a mighty fine smile, and except for some unwieldy wisdom teeth, I have managed to keep them all in my face. I’ve never minded going to the dentist. Then there was The Incident. There was damage. Let’s climb into the Way Back Machine to 1981, when I was 11. It was a magical time when children played outside unsupervised, which is probably why a younger neighbour, her friend from school and I decided it would be reasonable to resolve a spat by throwing pebbles at each other. In those days my teeth were way too big for my face (giant targets!), so it didn’t take long for a pebble to connect with my right front tooth. We froze. Probably there was a look of panic on my face. I still remember saying, “My tooth! You chipped my tooth!” before running home. Damage! In the grand scheme of life-altering events, this shouldn’t have been one of them. It was a small chip at the bottom with a little off the back of the tooth. (It’s still there.) Once filed, it looked OK and the tooth didn’t turn black and die. On my sheltered planet, though, this was the End of the World. At that time I had some impressive and expensive dental appliances busily shuffling

those giant teeth around so they would all eventually fit in my face. Given my cavity-free record, this damage felt like a big blemish on a perfect score. Plus, it was really dumb to throw rocks. (Don’t throw rocks or run with scissors, kids.) From that day on I worried about further chippage that would lead to unpleasant dental interventions. I cringed whenever the hygienist cleaned that tooth. Fast forward three decades and imagine how well I do as the parent reassuring a child about how awesome any upcoming dental work will be. (“Can I please leave the room now while you fill the kid’s cavity because I’m pretty sure I’m going to faint.”) Recently I woke up and my jaw was sore on one side. I assumed I slept funny. I was starting to get concerned, but it settled down after several days. Then some teeth on that side started to feel a bit sensitive. At the same time, I was having a wicked bout with tinnitus. Then I noticed one of the sensitive molars had a dark line at its base. Aaack! Damage! OMIGOD I AM GOING TO DIE! As I have gotten older, I have come to realize just how many things are interconnected in the body (sore knees? it’s your hips), so naturally I connected the jaw pain and the tooth pain to the ear trouble and concluded there was probably something massively wrong in my head. (“No kidding,” you say.) And when “tooth damage” makes you squeamish, it’s really hard to investigate thoroughly without feeling barfy. The people in my family who have experience with damaged teeth told me to calm down (which never works). They could actually look in my mouth without feeling squeamish. “It looks like your gum has receded,” Groomboy said. My dentist subsequently confirmed this. He gave me some special toothpaste and a pep talk and I think I’m going to be OK. Can we talk about maggots now, please?

Henderson sisters make us proud
have to admit, I was excited to cover the Team Henderson party on Friday last week. I went to the park earlier in the day to secure my media pass and get a lay of the land. This was going to be a big deal. Television crews and multimedia journalists were meandering about doing the same as me – jockeying for position. I asked Cyril Cooper, the town’s recreation director who was on site, why they chose Centennial Park with its limited parking, but he assured me that there was ample parking on the streets (you just had to walk a fair bit, but that was okay by me.) For those with mobility issues, the streets opened up to let folks into the area for drop-off purposes. Centennial Park is a beautiful gem in the heart of Smiths Falls, and this is what the town wanted to showcase. The Doherty Brothers entertained
LAURIE WEIR Weir View those in attendance, including screaming students who came in by the busloads. There were over 600 kids; the largest contingent from Lombardy Public School, where Dave Henderson taught for 16 years. The students waved mini Canadian flags and offered high-fives when the family walked through the barricaded pathway in the park to the stage. I could hear the kids – one little boy, after getting a high five from Brooke, said, “I’m never washing this hand again!” There was a media scrum prior to the 1 p.m. celebration, and there was a tent set up at the Strathcona end of

the park so we could have a few minutes with Brooke before the swarms of fans swept her away for the celebration. Right on cue, the Hendersons arrived; Dave and Darlene first in their vehicle, followed by Brittany and Brooke in their own SUV. I waved at the girls, and they had big smiles for us and waved back. I was just like those little school kids – a bit awestruck. Time to get professional. The organizing crew, Creative Relations Event Planning, ushered Brooke from her vehicle to the media tent, where Terry Marcotte from CTV News scooped her up first. Terry was cool though, as he cleared it with the rest of those pesky press people. Brooke was great. She had hugs for everyone. Clearly, she has a great relationship with her gaggle of media

COLUMN From page P8
pals, and she handles them (us) well. She was asked about her great breakout season, her busy schedule, and even her relationship with her sister/caddie/best pal, and how they manage to make it all work. She smiled and answered every question she was asked with the grace of a seasoned veteran. Handling the media, her fans, and her family, and playing golf as well as she does is a big balancing act for her, and this year, she said she has learned to manage all that. Everyone wants a piece of this girl… from her sponsors, to her family and friends, and her adoring fans. And she gave a little bit of her soul to each one. Not to shine the spotlight solely on Brooke, Brittany is an expert on the course as well. She has put her professional golfing career on hold to assist Brooke. She is up early measuring out the
course to let Brooke know the numbers she needs to succeed. From the way a layout twists and turns, to the wind and distance to the pin, Brittany has that all figured out. She books hotels, and flights for the duo and she does it with the style and grace her parents have taught her, but I think they are both born with that sparkle and shine. As Coun. Dawn Quinn said to me, “That smile is genuine. You can’t learn that. It’s from the heart. Brooke smiles from the heart.” But it’s really only ever been about the golf, Brooke told me. It’s not about the sponsors, the media, the crazy, and sometimes weird, and out of control, fans. The rest is just part of the package that comes with her being just so damned awesome at what she does. “At the end of the day, if I don’t golf well, then nothing else matters. I’m still trying to give my fans, and my sponsors
as much attention as I can and still try to focus on my game and move that world ranking up from number three a little bit closer to the top,” Brooke told me. I think the most special part of the day – there were so many, it’s hard to pick just one or two highlights – was the presentation of the Canadian flag. When the community signed this giant flag to send to Brooke in Rio at the Olympics, it was held up at customs. Mayor Shawn Pankow didn’t know this until it was sent back to the town just last week. He gave Brooke the flag during the ceremony. She beamed from ear to ear, and she and her sister could hardly contain their excitement as she wrapped it around her shoulders and had a thoughtful moment. A seventh place showing at the Olympics this year was a little disappointing, she said. Think about that for a moment… seventh place – at the Olympics! That’s amazing, and
we’re proud of her no matter where she placed. It’s quite the accomplishment to even make it to the Olympics, and to be just two strokes out of the medals, well that’s pretty awe-inspiring, and she’s already golden in our hearts. At the end of the celebration, Brooke took to the microphone to thank everyone for coming out to celebrate. She offered words of advice to the young people on site, to never give up on their dreams. She asked if anyone knew what the Greek Olympic motto, Citius, Altius, Fortius meant. One boy knew and he was awarded a Ping visor for his answer. (An autographed Ping visor was given to a representative of each school in attendance by the sisters – one of their many sponsors.) The motto is Latin for “faster, higher, stronger,” and Brooke encouraged everyone to dream big and shoot for their goals, no matter what or how big they are.

Breaking good ground at Perth’s Habitat House Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Go to Arthur Street if you want to see a hole in the ground filled with hope. Yes, right now, it is still, literally, a hole in the ground. But within a short while, it will soon be home to a deserving family. Local businessman and consultant Allan Brown kicked off the sod-turning ceremony Thursday, Sept. 8 by stating that “this is a really exciting day for the town of Perth,” he said, under ominously grey skies that gave way to brilliant late summer sunshine as the ceremony progressed. “This is an initiative by the community for the community.” He praised the work done by the construction students at Algonquin College’s Perth campus, which is “one of the things that makes this build unique…the build is in good hands.” Some people he had spoken to said that they were astounded at “how quickly we had gone,” from setting up a Perth chapter “to the build and now we’ve broken ground here.” Bob Ridley, the board chair for Habitat for Humanity for Greater Ottawa agreed that “this is a fantastic event,” and that it was “really great to see so many new supporters.” Whether new or old to the cause, “we have a common goal,” Ridley said, for
“a future where everyone has the opportunity to live in safe and decent housing,” and to “make home ownership a reality for those who never thought it was possible.” But he reminded the crowd that while they were doing good work, it went beyond simple charity, giving those in need “a hand up, not a hand out. That’s our whole mantra.” With the very basic beginnings of the house laid out in a grid in the mighty hole before him, and dozens of young men and women in hard hats and construction overalls standing before him, Ridley said that “every build represents countless hours of work.” Kristin Harold, Habitat for Humanity Greater Ottawa’s interim CEO (chief executive officer), an Algonquin College alumni, said she was delighted with this, the group’s 44th build in Ottawa and eastern Ontario. “Building is what we do,” she said. “The reason why we do it is to change lives.” She clarified a common misnomer about Habitat: “Many people think we give houses away. We don’t.” They pay an interest free mortgage, the money from which then goes on to fund the next build (so, the money from this build, number 44, will go on to help fund build number 45, and so on.) “Are families are building equity,” she said. She is optimis-
tic that a deserving family can be found for the Perth Habitat House by October. In a follow-up email the next day, Harold noted that Habitat is still looking for families in the Lanark County area to apply for the Homeownership Program. The criteria includes: • Have a total family income (before taxes) of between $39,950 and $59,200 (for Lanark County residents); • Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident; • Be living somewhere that does not meet your family needs; • Be steadily employed, but cannot afford or cannot obtain a conventional mortgage; and, • Be ready and able to contribute 500 hours of sweat equity to help build your own home and participate in other Habitat projects and community activities. If your family qualifies, or you know of a family that would qualify, please contact Nancy Curie, Habitat’s family services manager, at community@habitatgo.com, or by calling 613-7499950, ext. 225. Applications are still being accepted. Christopher Hahn, the dean of Algonquin College’s Perth campus, addressed his construction students, saying that this experience would help them form “a mindset of what construction can be,” making sure the their future projects are both long-term and sustainable. “Whenever you
build something, you are making a difference.” Pointing to the Arthur Street property in front of him, across the street from the Perth Fairgrounds, and around the corner from Queen Elizabeth Public School, he told his students that “you can always come by this property and say, ‘I helped build that.’” After his remarks, in an interview with The Perth Courier, Hanh said that the recent Dry Stone Wall Festival, held in Perth in July, had donated about $10,500 for the Habitat House build in Perth, which boasts four bedrooms, and should be complete by next year. It is 1,585 square feet, but has no basement. “The town and county and in particular Lanark-Leeds Home Builders Association,” said Hahn. People can still donate to the project online at perth@habitatgo.com. “Every dollar that get donated stays in the community,” he added. There were several local companies that helped in the build, donating their time and equipment, including Arnott Brothers Construction, who were key with the first big dig, and Burchill Booming, and Herns Sand and Gravel were also important partners. As for the local government partners, Lanark County donated about $20,000 to the project, and the town waived the development fee.

From page P11
Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier dated March 7, 1946, in an appeal from four former prisoners of war, for Red Cross support: “Through the period of our captivity the most eagerly awaited event each week was the arrival of the Red Cross parcel – the contents of which actually provided the sustenance necessary to live. We take this opportunity of expressing our eternal gratitude to this wonderful organization and urge all residents of Perth and district to become Red Cross members by making a contribution to this outstanding cause. The Peacetime programme of the Red Cross is worthy of your full support.” Signed: Ron Code, P.O.W. 2936; Jim Kanelakos, P.O.W. 2918; Pat McManus, P.O.W. 8712; Bill Smiley, P.O.W. 2171. Did you know? The Go World Travel website relates the following: “Station X was by far the best-kept secret of World War II and it was one of England’s best weapons against the onslaught of Nazi military power. The secret intelligence headquarters, codenamed ‘Station X’ was like something out of a James Bond movie, but with more detail, intrigue and intelligence. Some secrets would be kept for more than 30 years, while others would be kept forever.” Don’t forget our websites: www. rcl244.com and www.hallofremembrance.ca or Facebook: Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244.

Carleton Place artist holds paint fundraiser in support of LAWS Tara Gesner
tgesner@metroland.com
Enjoy an afternoon out with new or old friends and family, while supporting a good cause and painting something lovely for your home or office. Paint With Janet is coming to Generations Inn in Beckwith on Sunday, Oct. 2, with Carleton Place artist Janet Beath presenting the “Betty Betta for LAWS” fundraiser. The session runs from 2 to 4 p.m. Located in Smiths Falls, LAWS (Lanark Animal Welfare Society) has cared for abused, abandoned and lost animals for decades. It is one of two no-kill shelters in all of Ontario. Beath, a professional artist for 25 years, is a real animal lover. Too, she believes in the work done by LAWS. Speaking with the Canadian Gazette on Sept. 8, Beath noted dogs and cats are hard to paint when you have a big group, and the LAWS fundraiser can accommodate up to 45 people. Initially, LAWS board member Rachael Desjardine suggested painting a Koi fish. “A Koi is definitely a great, friendly fish, but you can get really stylized with a Beta, and the colours will be amazing,” Beath said. “Participants can choose whatever colour Betta they like,” she added,” “and if you are not fish friendly, you can paint a butterfly.” Participants will use a 16’ by 12’ canvas and iridescent pearl paint, which is much thicker. “I don’t want gravity taking over so we are not using easels,” Beath said. The cost to attend the “Betty Betta for LAWS” fundraiser is $40 per person, payable by cash or e-transfer. Food and beverages purchased from Generations Inn are extra. Absolutely no artistic experience is necessary to participate in a Paint With Janet event. Beath guides participants step-by-step from start to finish on how to make the painting.
“A lot of people have never even touched a paintbrush,” she said. “But by the end of the night they are amazed by what they created.” Beath has taught art in schools and she has instructed therapeutic arts with Artswell. “Every time I do a paint session I learn something about how other people learn,” she said. Since starting Paint With Janet in spring 2015, Beath has raised more than $12,000 to help others, and she still remembers her first session. It was for a Carleton Place woman, Kara Johnson, who hoping to raise enough money to purchase a new micro prosthetic leg that would dramatically change her life. “Janet works with local charities and organizations,” Brenda Turner said, “as well as the people who just need a little bit of help.” Turner, from Almonte, directed the children’s mini games at the 33rd annual North Lanark Highland Games in Mississippi Mills last month. “Janet did a fundraiser for us at the Barley Mow in May,” she said. “We painted a Scottish Thistle.” In two hours $675 was raised for the children’s mini games, allowing organizers to purchase Tshirts for the kids who participated. A fundraiser for the Arnprior & District Society is coming to the Arnprior Golf Club at Sand Point on Friday, Oct. 21. The session runs from 6:45 to 9 p.m. “It’s an autumn scene with a trail,” Beath AUTOMOTIVE PERFORMANCE said. “Imagine Thomas Kinkade.” Generations Inn is located at 717 Lake Park Rd. Overlooking Mississippi Lake, “we will be set up in the screened in porch,” Beath said. For register for the “Betty Betta for LAWS” fundraiser, call 613-253-7399 or email janet. beath@sympatico.ca.

The world’s “okayest” drummer, “Ollie,” “Special Ed,” left us after a summer of health care interventions interspersed with comforting visits with family and friends. Lorne will be deeply mourned by his daughters and sons-in-laws Leanne and Sean, Morgan and Tom, and Melissa and Shawn, by his big brother Stephen and sister-in-law Marijke, and by his wife Linda and her family. His grandchildren Emma, Charlotte, Logan, Lincoln, and Aidan, and honorary grandson Keldon, will miss their Babu and his constant safety precautions. His special pet companions Kubwa, Bunsen, and Bwana are grieving too.

His three children; Jeff (Karen), Vicky (Tim) and Scott (Vicki) feel fortunate to have been able to spend many evenings debating with him because he ALWAYS had an opinion. He inspired his children and grandchildren (Erin, Anna, Trevor & Craig) to be independent thinkers and to find their own paths in life. Jeff in Calgary, Vicky in Vancouver and Scott in Toronto. He is predeceased by his wife Marian who brought much happiness to his life for more than 20 years. Together they enjoyed life on the Big Rideau and their many friends in Perth and Ottawa. Wilf felt that it was important to give back to his community and was active in many charities throughout his life. He was on the Board of Perth’s Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation, founded Perth’s Probus Club and participated in the Town Planning Council. He was the President of the Big Rideau Lake Association while his young family was spending summers at the Lake. In his earlier years he and his family lived in Ottawa where he was also involved the Kiwanis Club, Ottawa Curling Club and the Royal Ottawa Golf Club. “You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him”.A celebration of Wilf’s life will take place on the Big Rideau in the summer of 2017.

COADY, Sean Douglas Remembering my fun and loving brother… my best friend… who left this earth, much too soon, September 16, 2006. Ten years have passed… Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish for one more laugh, one more hug. Time passes… the grief remains, but I know that you would say… Keep my memory with you, For memories never die. I will always be there with you, When you look up in the sky. When your heart is heavy And you feel you are alone, Reach deep down inside yourself For your heart is now my home. I will always be there with you I will never go away I will live on within your heart Each and every day. “In my mind I see you and in my heart I keep you…” Love, Erin

I met Audrey in April of 1999 when she accompanied a mutual friend Verna Hill to Bermuda and the two of them stayed at my home. Verna of Napanee ON, had befriended me during our days at Queen’s, so now Verna’s friend (Audrey) became my friend. Looking back now, I am very thankful and excited over the times Audrey and I spent together during my yearly trips to Kemptville. She made it a point of introducing me to as many people as possible, particularly the ones who played a part in her life. And so, my life has been enriched as I met so many lovely people! I also enjoyed Kemptville as I took my daily walks for exercise. Along the way, I would meet friendly people. Thank you Audrey. Thank you for all your lovely hospitality and for all your letters to me that were “events” as they arrived to me here in Bermuda. At this time, I would like to mention names of people I met through Audrey:
Thank you. Sincerely, Helene

We think of you daily and hourly But try to be brave and content. Tears that we shed are in silence And we breathe a sigh of regret, For you were ours and we remember Though all the world forgets. Always in our hearts, Nick, Kyle & Kassie Dad, Mom & Chris Cindy, John & Dana.

Men’s Sheds Night at The Table, Monday, Sept. 19
On Monday, Sept. 19, The Table Community Food Centre is hosting an evening dedicated to “Men’s Sheds”. The Table’s regular community meal will take the form of a community barbecue from 4:30 to 6 p.m. giving the public a chance to meet and mingle with people involved in the new Men’s Sheds initiatives in Lanark County, and representatives from the national Men’s Shed’s movement. Everyone is welcome! Brief presentations and a discussion about the Men’s Sheds movement will follow the barbecue at 6:15 p.m. The event is financially supported through a grant from Movember Canada. The Men’s Sheds Canada Website (menssheds. ca) describes the sheds as a place where, “men get together for activities like woodworking projects, cooking, bike repairs, music, and yelling at the television during the playoffs. The movement started in Australia in 2007, expanding their tradition of backyard sheds into collaborative, communal spaces”. Doug Mackie and Dr. Corey Mackenzie, both of Winnipeg will be attending the evening and sharing their experience with the Men’s Shed movement. Doug was the founder of the first shed in Canada and has been sharing his success in Winnipeg and helping new sheds get started across the country. In November 2015, Lanark County Mental Health invited Doug to speak in Almonte and it was his presentation that inspired the Perth and Carleton Place sheds to get started. Mackenzie is a psychologist and professor at the University of Manitoba whose research in-

terests include aging and mental health. Men’s Sheds do not typically provide formal mental health services, counselling or group sessions. Rather, the mental health community has recognized that they can play an important role in decreasing isolation, depression, and anxiety in men due to their social, and community orientation. They do this informally and avoid the blocks many men have with seeking more formal mental health supports. The Hackberry Men’s shed is based in Carleton Place and they have been keeping busy with a bi-weekly breakfast meeting and biweekly planning meetings. They recently completed two wooden benches that convert into picnic tables for Lanark Community Programs. The Perth Men’s Shed group has been having monthly breakfast meetings at The Table. Activities have included a day of wooden pen turning, assisting with the construction of the boardwalk on the Tay River Pathway, and construction of cold frames for The Table, and an outhouse for the Perth Community Allotment Garden – both from locally sourced and milled cedar. (With a shout out to McGovern’s Custom Milling in Macdonald’s Corners for providing the milling services). Ramsey Hart is the contact for the Perth Men’s Shed and can be reached at ramsey@thetablecfc.org, or 613-267-6428 x 8. The two Lanark County Men’s Sheds are sharing a Facebook page where you can follow their activities and find related information. Submitted by The Table Community Food Centre

Friday, Sept. 9 was a day of celebration in Centennial Park as Team Henderson – Dave, Darlene, Brittany and Brooke – were given a warm (very warm!) welcome as they made their way through the sea of red and white. In recognition for all their accomplishments on the links this year, Brooke’s break-out year on the LPGA tour, the Henderson sisters were honoured with speeches, a flag presentation and a plaque unveiling that will find a permanent home in beside town hall. The afternoon was a chance for their hometown to celebrate Team Henderson and all they have accomplished. “It’s been good for the future, I’ve really learned a lot,” she said about her first year on the tour. With her sister Brittany by her side, the girls had a great time with the crowds today. When asked if they ever disagreed on a club choice, Brooke responded: “Not really.

Brooke and Brittany took to the microphone to thank those in attendance for coming out to celebrate with them. She asked if anyone knew what the Greek Olympic motto “Citius, Altius, Fortius” meant. One boy knew and he was awarded a Ping visor for his answer. (The sisters also gave autographed Ping visors to a representative from each school in attendance. Ping is one of their many sponsors.) The motto is Latin for “faster, higher, stronger,” and Brooke encouraged everyone to dream big and shoot for their goals, no matter what or how big they are.

Blue Wings earn two weekend wins to tie Athens for top spot in division Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
The Perth Blue Wings and the Athens Aeros will battle for the top spot in the Richardson Division on Friday night as the two teams will go head-to-head in CCHL2 action in Perth. After the weekend’s double win, the Blue Wings jetted into a tie for first place; right where they sat most of last season on route to a division championship. “Athens will be a tough test this Friday,” said coach Michael McLean. “They have 15 returning players from last year’s team and are solid from the net out. We will need to win 75 shifts, get 50-plus shots on their net with traffic and stay out of the penalty box to have any chance to win.” Over the weekend, the boys in blue took two wins from local rivals: 4-1 over the Brockville Tikis at home Friday, Sept. 9, and a 5-3 win over the Prescott Flyers in Prescott on Saturday night. “We had a really positive weekend and our players earned two victories,” McLean stated. “It was great to be back in Perth and in our own arena.” It was a special night for the team on Friday as a tribute was paid to those graduating players. It was also a chance to introduce the new team to fans and sponsors, said McLean. “We brought them out to centre ice for the ceremonial puck drop - along with Brad and Cathy Hasler from A&B Ford, who were the opening night sponsors. We had a large crowd on hand for a warm September night,” said the coach.
minder Johnathan Peacock, “who was solid in goal.” The coach said he rolled four lines and six defense in this match-up, that was capped with a high performing third period. “Our third period was our best when we shortened our shift lengths to 40 seconds and have a better pressure forecheck,” explained McLean. “Once again our penalty killing was outstanding. Our power play struggled because we failed to shoot the puck when we had good opportunities. This is something we will continue to work on throughout the season.” Brockville scored their one and only goal in the first period when Trevor Finch busted through the Blue Wings defense and slapped a shot from out front to get past Peacock with 14:53 on the clock as the visitors held a 1-0 lead until the second period. Perth blasted through the second frame with three unanswered goals that was started by Karson McCartney’s shot with just 33 seconds gone. Gabriel Laurin had the assist. Adam Church scored from Noah Fisher at the 11-minute mark which turned out to be the winner. Church assisted on Fisher’s goal with 18:56 showing for a 3-1 lead after two. In the final frame, Joey Driscoll scored the emptynet goal with help from Nicholas Vala and MarcAndre LeBlanc. Peacock turned away 27 shots in the win, while Curtis Stewart had the loss with 47 shots on nets. Both teams were hit with four minor offenses, as the game was played in front of 250 fans. “Overall… a very successful opening night,” McLean said.
Perth 4 Brockville 1 It was a 4-1 win for the home team’s opener, despite some early nerves against Perth 5 Prescott 3 the young, talented Tikis. “Saturday Night was A highlight for the Blue Wings was the play of net- a huge test playing backto-back in a tough arena,”
The Perth Blue Wings recognized their graduating players on Friday during their home opener. They are Maxime St. George, Lucas Driscoll, Brandon Mendham, (sponsors A&B Ford owners Brad Hasler, Cathy Hasler), MacKenzie Bruce, Nic Brazeau, Danick Genest, Dylan McNamara and Matt McIntyre. McLean said, but “we got the good start we needed and a 3-0 first period lead.” Laurin, Desmond Blake and Driscoll did the scoring for the early lead with assists from McCartney, Vala, Ryan Shaw, Scott Leboeuf,
LeBlanc and Vala. At 13:29, Prescott scored as Greg Heika got past Perth’s Cameron Scott. A power-play goal from Brett VanStralen at 17:18 wasn’t enough to take the lead See BLUE WINGS page P19

the Blue Wings as Perth held the 3-2 edge at the end of the frame. In the second, Prescott tied the rally with Carson Pick’s goal at 6:53, which was the only goal of the period. It was all Perth in the final period with Church’s game-winner from Fisher and Morton with just 1:58 gone. It wasn’t until the dying minute of the game when McCartney tapped in an empty-net shot for the insurance marker. Laurin assisted for the 5-3 final. “A soft play by veteran defenseman late in the first gave Prescott life making it a 3-1 game,” McLean noted. “We then took a charging penalty 200 feet from our own net - resulting in a Prescott power play goal.” The coach said Prescott tied the game “on a shot that actually never entered the net. The video replay clearly shows it as a linesman and referee error.” McLean said that was a great teaching moment in the game… “Overcoming adversity and a mistaken call by an official. It happens. You can overcome or let it beat you. We immediately focused on winning the third period.” The coach said they set a goal to win 25 shifts that period and putting 20 shots on the Flyers net. “I thought Gabriel Laurin had another strong outing,” McLean said. “Same with Adam Morton and Scott LeBoeuf. Cameron Scott was solid in goal in the third to get the win. Our first year players continue to work hard and learn our way Laurie Weir/Metroland of ‘doing things’.” The Blue Wings have just one game on the The Brockville Tikis were in Perth on Friday, Sept. 9 for the Blue Wings home schedule this week and it’s a battle for first place opener in CCHL2 action.

Lanark County relatives proud of bronze medal at Rio Paralympics for rower
Chris Must
chrismust@metroland.com
Relatives in Smiths Falls and Perth say they are proud of the achievements of Paralympian Curtis Halladay, a member of the Canadian rowing team, which scored a bronze medal in competition Sunday, Sept. 11. Halladay’s aunt, Lee Van Der Meer of the Smiths Falls area, said Tuesday that she and her husband Klaas are “very proud” of their nephew. Sudbury native Halladay, whose father comes from Smiths Falls, took up rowing after one leg was paralyzed in a motocross accident. Just two years later he is a Paralympic medalist. He rowed to victory in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, along with teammates Meghan Montgomery, Victoria Nolan, Kristen Kitt and Andrew Todd in a very
close race with Great Britain. This was the first-ever medal for Canada in para-rowing. Van Der Meer noted that the first- and secondplace finishers in the race were separated by just hundredths of a second. “Gave it everything and came out with bronze, extremely honored to represent my country. Thanks to everyone for all the support!” Halladay posted on his Twitter account, @motocurt84, later Sunday. In a tight race that came down to the finish line, the United States of America rowed to an early lead with Canada and Great Britain close behind. Great Britain, gold medalists from London 2012, pushed ahead securing first place and leaving the USA and Canada to fight it out for the silver medal. With Canada closing in at the finish line, second and third were separated by 0.29 of a second.
Relatives here are proud of Curtis Halladay after his rowing team won bronze in the Paralympics in Rio Sept. 11. Team members are Halladay, Andrew Todd, Kristin Kit, Meghan Montgomery and Victoria Nolan. Submitted photo

The Smiths Falls Renegades Minor Football Association had the opportunity to take in a Redblacks vs Eskimos football game recently.
Renegades wrap up another successful season
The Smiths Falls Renegades Minor Football Association wrapped up their 2016 season on Aug. 8 with a trip to TD Place Stadium in Ottawa to take in the Ottawa Redblacks and defending Grey Cup champions, the Edmonton Eskimos football game. Just over 200 players, family and friends descended on the venue to witness a spectacular fourth quarter 23-20 win for the hometown Redblacks. To the absolute delight of 30 Renegade players, they were given the opportunity to line both the Redblacks and Eskimosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tunnels during the pregame introductions. Monstrous defensive lineman Connor Williams and kicker Chris Milo also went out of their way during the Redblacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pregame warm up period to personally approach and provide high fives to all the players. The actual RYFL season wrapped up just prior to Canada Day in Brockville. The Brockville Bucs Football Association played host to the
four divisional championship games at Commonwealth field. The Renegades organization was represented in both the peewee and bantam division championship games. Although the bantam Renegades came up short against an undefeated Beckwith Irish team, they played their best football of the year during the first half. But, ultimately couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep up with their opponents after half time. The peewee Renegades had a different fate. The undefeated Renegades experienced some struggles through the first half of their game against the Kemptville Jaguars and trailed for much of the game - something that they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experienced during the regular season. However, in the fourth quarter the grit and determination, along with the constant encouragement from the coaching staff prevailed, and the peewee Renegades pulled off a stunning 27-26 come from behind victories in one of the most exciting games played during the RYFL season.

Members of the Lanark County 4H Beef Club had a successful season and lots of fun this year. They finished their year with their achievement day held at the Perth Fair where the group had a chance to show what they learned with their young cattle.
Perth 4-H Beef Club adventures My name is Hazel Robertson and I was in the Perth 4-H Beef Club this year. It was so much fun. Here let me tell you about it… We started our first meeting on April 13, 2016 at the Dawson’s farm with the 4-H pledge. This is how it goes: I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, my health to better living for my club, my community and my country. (Can you see the four H’s?) We learned about the different feeds that beef cattle eat such as hay, grass, chopped plants (corn, hay) and grain after they are weaned. We elected our executive (president, vice-president, secretary and press reporter) and talked about the fun that we would be having this summer. Meeting number two was on May 11, 2016 at the Duncan’s family farm near MacDonald’s Corners. Judging was the topic for this meeting. We started to learn about judging using a group of coffee cups. Then as the older members went to the barn to judge cattle, the younger members learned to judge chocolate chip cookies. Yum! Some tips for judging cattle are: look for a nice and straight topline, good feet and legs and have thick muscles. For our third meeting on June 8 at Mr. Thurston’s farm, we talked about vaccinations and diseases. Our guest speaker, Dr. Scott Robertson from the Perth Veterinary Clinic, shared some information about common diseases and vaccinations for beef cattle. Some of the common conditions he talked about were parasites (worms!), blackleg and pneumonia. He also
talked about the vaccinations our calves need to go to the fair (but there are so many choices that I can’t list them all!) Mr. Thurston showed us the design of his barn and how it makes it easier to handle his cattle carefully and stress-free. Our meeting July 13 was at the farm of Ms. James. We got to practise showing some of her halter-broken calves (halter broken means they have learned to walk with a person holding a halter). This meeting was lots of fun, but wait until you hear about the last meeting! On Aug. 21, 2016, we had our last meeting where we got to bring our own calves to our leader’s farm, The Dawson’s. You are probably thinking right now, “Why did you bring your calves to a meeting?” It was a chance to get our calves used to riding in a trailer and a chance to be with the other calves that they were going to be competing against. We got a chance to practise clipping our calves (their first haircut!) and having a show with a real judge. (Thanks Mr. Thurston!) After we finished clipping and showing, we had a barbecue to celebrate a successful year of the Perth 4-H Beef club. We had our achievement day show at the Perth Sept. 3. It was our best year yet. Did you enjoy this article? Maybe you will want to join us in the 4-H Beef club in 2017. We are always looking for new members! Thank you to our leaders, Julie and Andrew Dawson, for their hard work and dedication to the 4-H club. Hope to see you next year!
Arts council celebrates all things bright and beautiful The Westport Arts Council is excited to announce a three day event for all who enjoy the art of quilt making. Whether it be a worn our, traditional blanket designed for warmth and comfort, or a contemporary piece of modern design, we hope you will join us as we celebrate the vision all quilters, past and present, have had as they have sewn their fabrics into timeless pieces of art. On Thursday, Sept. 29, five workshops are being held in area churches. Workshops have been designed for all levels. You are welcome to come and refine a traditional skill or try your hand at a contemporary piece. We are welcoming many talented women leading these workshops so come and have fun. Friday, Sept. 30 is a Quilter’s Café Day. Participants are invited to sew the day away on unfinished projects. Sewers are also welcome to develop a 12-inch quilt block using a specific package of fabric. These blocks will be on dis-
play at the quilt tour and will later be turned into a quilt to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday year. An autumn buffet luncheon will be held at The Cove and Carol Darou from the Lanark County Quilters Guild will be the guest speaker. This will be a great opportunity for fellowship with quilters and non-quilters. Saturday, Oct. 1 will be the ultimate celebration of quilts – both old and new. As you travel at your leisure to the village churches you will appreciate these works of art as they are mingled with church stained glass and architecture. Throughout the day, oral quilting stories will take place. Registration will occur at the Westport Museum. All Things Bright and Beautiful is meant to be a time of appreciation and love for the art of quilt making. More information about the workshops, quilting activities and the tour can be found at the Westport Arts Council website. Submitted by the Westport Arts Council

Amanda West Lewis was at the Book Nook on the weekend to sign copies of her latest work, The Pact. Lewis is pictured with the inspiration for the story, local resident Hans. This was one of the biggest turnouts for any book launch/signing we’ve had in nine years, said book store owner, Leslie Wallack.
New option for owners of lost pets Laurie Weir
Together with other dedicated volunteers, they are helping connect their missing or lost pets in and around Lanark County. “This page is for anyone in the Lanark County area who wishes to post information about lost pets or, animals you’ve seen running loose and may suspect are lost, abandoned or injured,” the page’s description reads. It’s a not a message board to use as one to sell, or purchase pets, he said. With a background in all aspects of personal training of dogs, Morrell said there are not a lot of options for those in this area who have lost their pets.

Roy Morrell wants to make sure lost pets find their way home. The Maberly man, who admits to not being too computer savvy, has started an online network of people for those who have lost a cat or dog and don’t know where to turn first. “I just want people to know that they can come to the Facebook page (Lanark County’s Lost Pets) and add their information there,” he said in a phone interview on Sept. 1. particular relevance today, as they dominate Morrell started the page a current events around the world, and remain at few months ago and already it the forefront of the collective consciousness. has more than 200 fans.

Lewis has spent her career in the arts and arts education, working as a writer, theatre director, calligrapher, book artist and instructor. She is the author of seven books for young people. Her latest novel, The Pact, sets friendship, poverty and family amidst the culture of indoctrination and propaganda in Nazi Germany. Her previous novel, September 17, is a fictionalized account of the sinking of the S.S. City of Benares during the World War II and was nominated for the Silver Birch Award, the Red Cedar Award, and the Violet Downey IODE Award.

New book inspired by true story of Nazi Germany Inspired by a true story and told from a perspective not often given a voice, The Pact (Red Deer Press, September, 2016) by Amanda West Lewis follows one boy as he navigates growing up in Nazi Germany. The initial inspiration came from a conversation Lewis had with her neighbour, peace activist Hans Sinn, 15 years ago: “…we were sitting together by a lake, watching our children play in the water. The children were singing songs and playing games—the kinds of things kids learn at camp. My husband (writer Tim Wynne-Jones) innocently asked Hans if he had ever gone to camp. Hans replied, with a sad smile, ‘Yes. Hitler Youth camp.’” However, it wasn’t until after returning from Mainz, Germany in 2012, that Lewis spent many hours talking with Hans and her fictional story began to take shape. The Pact begins in May, 1939, when Peter Gruber is 10 years old and living in Hamburg, Germany with his mother. It is only through his own resourcefulness that he is able to keep them both from complete poverty. Then, with the outbreak of war, his entire life changes. The Pact takes place in a rapidly changing and tumultuous climate, where people are influenced by the inundation of propaganda and controlled by a climate of fear. Peter faces further radicalization as he and many others are recruited into the Hitler Youth. These themes continue to hold
“They normally post on an Ottawa page,” he said. Morrell said more than one instance had him frustrated when contacting a local dog pound municipality to help. They told him to “tie it to a tree and we’ll get out to it when we can,” he said of the direction he received. That of course, was unacceptable to him. “I can take it home as long as I’m aggressively looking for the owners,” he said. Morrell said he hopes lots of people will like and share is Facebook page, and if anyone would like information on how to help, please give him a call at (613) 541-7695.

Festival of Small Halls announces community events, line-up additions At its core, the Ontario Festival of Small Halls is about celebrating community. The Festival of Small Halls is getting hands clapping and toes tapping this month as it welcomes an inspiring combination of big names in music and local opening acts to treasured small halls across eastern Ontario from Sept. 14 to Oct. 2. The festival expanded to include 24 rural locales this year, paying tribute to cherished small town spaces with history and heart. National and international musicians including Breabach, Basia Bulat, Jim Bryson, Elliott BROOD, Hat Fitz and Cara, Tomato Tomato, April Verch, Harrow Fair, the Devin Cuddy Band and more are ready to share small stages with opening acts which are local to each community. This month, the Festival of Small Halls is announcing community events surrounding several of the small halls shows. The festival encourages local hall boards, volunteers and organizations to team up and expand on the concert in an effort to further build community. From markets and dinners to community walks and a fine art and craft exhibition, the host halls are throwing open their doors to make the 2016 performances of the Festival of Small Halls even more memorable. “Building community is such an important component for the Festival of Small Halls,” said Kelly Symes, manager of the Ontario Festival of Small Halls. “The festival takes place in cherished local halls that residents and visitors hold near to their hearts – it’s only fitting that the exciting festival performances are augmented with traditional community events to further showcase these special spaces.”

The Ontario Festival of Small Halls is set for Sept. 14 to Oct. 2 at 24 rural locales from across eastern Ontario. Recently, some acts were added to the line-up, including The Abrams, above, who will be performing with Darlingside and Miss Emily at the Seeley’s Bay Community Hall on Sept. 16. Above right, bluegrass duo Tomato Tomato are set to play the Red Brick School in Elgin Sept. 25 with Alex and Sean Price. Right, Sheesham and Lotus & ‘Son will headline The Ivy on William in Smiths Falls Sept. 29. The festival shows in Delta, McDonald’s Corners, Lyndhurst, Spencerville, Chaffey’s Lock, Winchester, Beckwith and Morton have events in the works. More can be found about the events at www.thefestivalofsmallhalls.com/ schedule/community-suppers/ – be aware that some require RSVPs with deadlines fast approaching! Community dinners are planned in Chaffey’s Lock at The Opinicon for festival ticket holders before the April Verch shows. Additionally, dinners are being held in Beckwith at Stonefields Heritage Farm; Delta at the Old Town Hall with a buffet dinner before the concert; Lyndhurst at St. Luke’s An-
glican Church Hall before the show at the legion; Winchester at St. Paul Presbyterian Church with a turkey dinner before the show, and at the McDonald’s Corners Agricultural Hall with a scrumptious menu planned preceding its show. Furthermore, The Spencerville Mill is partnering with Zolas Restaurant for tapas before the show, while the matinee concert at the Morton Community Hall is accented by a community event at Wendy’s Country Market just down the road. Burritt’s Rapids is planning a whole day of fun to close out the Festival of Small Halls, including outdoor fun for
the family, an architectural walk with the Village Doyennes, a Ceilidh after the show, food vendors, door prizes and even a fine art and craft exhibition and sale surrounding the matinee performance on Oct. 2. Aside from community events, the Festival of Small Halls also recently announced a few surprise additions to the musical line up. The Abrams will be performing with Darlingside and Miss Emily at the Seeley’s Bay Community Hall on Sept. 16 at 7:30 p.m. As fourthgeneration musicians, The Abrams bring a brilliant vision to their music, which melds their musical roots with an attitude more in tune with the present.
More inspiration is coming from recently-confirmed Change of Step who will be performing three shows with Breabach at the Maberly Community Hall, in Maxville at St. James Catholic Church and at Stonefields in Beckwith. This dynamic dance company performs original choreography that is rooted in Scottish tradition, yet shaped by modern influences. Find out more about the festival’s community events at www.thefestivalofsmallhalls.com and be sure to connect with the festival on social media for updates as the shows approach. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 613-791-3476.

The power of family takes you Over The River And Through The Woods At this show, it won’t just be the Studio Theatre’s cushy new seats that make you feel good all over... Joe DiPietro’s family comedy Over The River And Through The Woods, premiering Sept. 22 at the Studio Theatre, is the warmest, funniest show you’ll see this fall, with great lines, great love, and plenty of home-cooked wit and wisdom. Nick is a young man on his way up, with a terrific new job waiting for him in Seattle. But Nick’s very Italian grandparents, two generations removed, couldn’t care less
about his rise up the career ladder – they just want him to stay put in New Jersey. After all, nothing is more important than family, and Nick’s parents have already betrayed the clan by moving away to, of all places, Fort Lauderdale. So how do you make a young man change his mind and decide to stay home? A young woman, of course. What follows is a funny, fastpaced comedy that everyone will enjoy. “I can’t remember the last time I was so excited about a script and a cast,” says director Patricia Parry. “Right
from day one I knew we had something special. And what makes it even better is that so many of my actors will be new to Perth audiences.” Smiths Falls actors Rob Glas, David Wright, and Jenifer Jasiak are thrilled to be appearing on the Studio Theatre’s stage for the first time – and Sheila Jasiak for just the second time – along with local favourite Norma Cummings, and newcomer Connor Williamson as Nick. “It’s about family, faith, food, and learning to let go. You’ll leave the theatre with a smile on your face, guar-
anteed,” says Parry. You can hear Parry talking more about her play on LAKE 88 radio at 4:25 p.m., Monday, Sept. 19. Over The River And Through The Woods premieres at the Studio Theatre on Thursday, Sept. 22, with performances Sept. 22, 23, 24, 30 and Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m., and 2 p.m. matinees on Sept. 25 and Oct. 2. Tickets are $22 (cash only) at the Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E, and $22 plus convenience fee at Shad-
owfax, 67 Foster St., (613267-6817; shadowfax.on.ca) and Tickets Please, in the Matheson House Museum Visitor Centre, 11 Gore St. E. (485-6434; ticketsplease.ca) both of which accept in-store, phone, online and credit card purchases. Tickets are $24 at the door, and $10 at the door for students with ID. Attend opening night and save $5! Remember that season passes for the Studio Theatre’s 2016/2017 season of
outstanding live theatre will be on sale until the end of September at the Studio Theatre box office on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon, and at Shadowfax. Don’t miss Over The River And Through The Woods, the grandmother of all comedies, when it opens Sept. 22 at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore St. E., adjacent to the Crystal Palace. It’ll be the ideal way to warm up your autumn. Submitted by Paul Joyce for the Studio Theatre

Comedic mystery opens at Smiths Falls’ Station Theatre in October Nothing attracts a good cast like a smart script and an intriguing plot. That’s exactly what director Katharine Coleman found when she put out the audition call for Fred Carmichael’s delightful comedic mystery, Out of Sight...Out of Murder, now headed for production at the Station Theatre from Oct. 14 to 23. The play’s highly imaginative premise offers great character roles galore. As the scene opens, Peter Knight (played by Jamie Benda) is grinding out a murder story in an old mansion where another author was murdered years before. A weird electrical storm effects a cosmic snafu and his characters come to life. There’s the lovely ingenue, the trusty butler, a feisty character woman, a dauntless hero, a fascinating “other woman,” the always pregnant serving girl, and the wily lawyer waiting for midnight to read the will. Stock characters from murder mysteries of yesteryear to be sure, but presented here in a witty, compelling style that is sure to please audiences. Before long, author Peter loses control of his characters and there is a murder; the intended victim is Peter. Other murders follow and the culprit is among characters who, having also worked for other authors, know a great deal about the subject. Can Peter find the killer before the killer gets his author? Is romance with the ingenue leading anywhere? Where is the fortune mentioned in the will? In the end, all is solved ingeniously with romance, suspense and cosmic wit. In the leading role of Peter Knight is Jamie Benda, last seen in at the Station Theatre in Cactus Flower as smarmy Harvey Greenfield. Christine Winter, whom audiences will remember as the scene stealer, Vera, in Nana’s Naughty Knickers, aces the part of Minna, a rough and ready farm woman who takes care of Peter’s rented mansion. Katharine Coleman, who also directs the play – and last seen in Sadie Flynn Comes to Big Oak – takes on the role of sophisticated, stylishly-dressed Lydia, a woman combining occasionally caustic comment with a good sense of humour. Then there is the butler, Cogburn, played by Rich Croteau, most recently seen on the Smiths Falls stage in Jekyll and Hyde. Rebecca Blue, returns after a decade plus break from the theatre in the role of Kay Kelsey, a sweet, trusting young woman – in other words your prototypical ingenue! Every murder mystery needs a character lady and Joni Thornley, type cast from her role in Love From a Stranger, plays the middleaged know-it-all, Fiona Babcock, to a “tea.” Rounding out the cast are: Jessica Weedmark, making her debut with our theatre, after performing in high school shows, in the role of

Addie the maid; Nathan Matthews does a 180 from his last part in Bridge to Terabithia in the role of Dick Stanton, the excessively hearty “juvenile;” and Dave Snider, the always entertaining character actor, last seen here in the smash comedy, Leading Ladies, plays the part of the well-groomed, successful-looking Jordan Dillingham, the lawyer with the will. Coleman has said how pleased she is with the way her cast has already embraced the personalities of their respective roles. “Each of the ‘stock characters’ in the story are almost caricatures, except that they each believe themselves to be ‘real’ and so the seriousness with how they take themselves is humour in itself,” she said. “We have a strong cast and it’s very enjoyable to watch it coming together. Laughs are already coming out at rehearsals.” Out of Sight...Out of Murder is produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. and runs from Thursday, Oct. 14 to Sunday, Oct. 23. Evening performances are at 7:30 p.m.; matinees are at 2 p.m. Tickets: Adults $20, children/students $10. Call 613-283-0300 for credit card purchases, or go to our website at www.smithsfalls theatre.com to buy online. Cash only ticket sales are at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. East in Smiths Falls and at the door onehalf hour before each performance. The 140-seat Station Theatre is located at 53 Victoria Ave, the site of the former CPR Railway Station. We suggest you visit our website to keep up to date with all our future presentations. This weekend kicks off our fall season of Movie Nights with an Audrey Hepburn FilmFest: Breakfast at Tiffany’s screens on Friday, Sept. 16 and Funny Face on Saturday, Sept. 17. New time is 7 p.m. and tickets are $10 – cash only at the door. Our next event in the Music Series features Campbell Woods – In Concert. He’s returning to Smiths Falls with Tim Jackson on Oct. 8, playing songs from his latest album, Oxford Street. Start time 8 p.m.; tickets are $20. Campbell is a former Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute student now living in Halifax. Details of this show, as well as our upcoming movies, are on our website.

Expect incredible sweetness and flavour from this year’s Ontario apple crop A hot and dry Ontario summer with plenty of sunshine is translating into an extremely sweet and flavourful apple crop this year. It’s sunshine that changes starch levels in the apple into sugar, so this year’s apple crop is expected to be one for the record books when it comes to sweetness, according to the chair of the Ontario Apple Growers. “I’ve been growing apples in Ontario for 40 years and these are the sweetest apples we’ve ever had,” says Charles Stevens, who farms near Newcastle, Ontario. “If ever there has been a year for Ontarians to enjoy the great taste of Ontario apples, this is it.” Unlike several recent years, apple growers were not hit with any frost damage this year, which impacts fruit size and shape, and there also haven’t been any significant hail events to affect the crop. Perfect pollination conditions in the spring followed by plenty of
The hot and dry summer across the province has produced a sweet and flavourful apple crop this year. Sunshine changes starch level in the apple into sugar, according to the Ontario Apple Growers. Submitted photo
warm temperatures got the apples off to a good start, and although drought conditions in some parts of the province’s growing regions will result in some smaller sized apples, the overall crop is looking promising with volumes at normal levels. “The size of the apples will depend on the location of the orchard and whether or not growers received rain or were able to use irrigation,” explains Stevens. “Some very timely rains in August in most areas of the province have made all the difference for the crop this year.” Consumers are encouraged to
look for the Foodland Ontario symbol when buying local apples, which will be widely available in the fall and throughout the winter months. There are approximately 15 different varieties of apples grown on 15,000 acres in Ontario. The province’s major apple-producing areas are along the shores of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. The farm gate value of the Ontario apple crop is approximately $60 million, which includes sales to fresh and processing markets as well as on-farm/pickyour-own. The Ontario Apple Growers represents the province’s 200 commercial apple farmers.
