Chamber gets half its ‘emergency bail-out’ request from council Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
The Perth and District Chamber of Commerce only received $5,000 of the $10,000 it had requested for an “emergency bail-out” to see it through the end of the year. “I appreciate that they are in a difficult financial situation,” said Coun. Judy Brown during Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 13. “But they do have reserves,” that they can draw upon, she said, to the tune of $45,000. “Part of what they are requesting could come from there… That’s what reserves are for, if you run into difficulties.” See BAIL OUT page P2

Local air cadets train throughout Ontario and beyond Air cadets from Perth, Smiths Falls, Kemptville, Merrickville, and surrounding areas spent the summer training at summer camps throughout Ontario gaining valuable experience and knowledge, having fun, and getting paid! It is hard to find a better, more enriching opportunity for local youth than the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. There is no cost to join, no cost for uniforms, and no cost to participate in official activities. Air cadets spend most of the year training at their home squadrons learning about citizenship, leadership, and participating in military style activities such as drill, parades, and marksmanship. They also have camping weekends (known as field training exercises) and sports nights. All 585 air cadets also participate in annual glider flights and powered aircraft familiarization flights, weather permitting. In addition, cadets also enjoy field trips such as the annual March Break trip and yearend trip. Optional activities include marksmanship competitions, public speaking contests, and biathlon races. Cadets are certainly kept busy throughout the school year. Each summer many of them also experience summer camp air cadetstyle. Camps are located on Canadian Forces bases throughout the country but local cadets tend to train in Ontario. Some top senior cadets even receive scholarships to earn glider or power pilot licenses. Cadets from the 585 Rideau Squadron Royal Canadian Air Cadets, located in Smiths Falls, attended courses at 8 Wing Trenton, Camp Borden (located near Barrie), Connaught Ranges and Primary Training Centre in Kanata, as well as Bagotville, Quebec. Some of the courses attended by our local cadets included general training (for first year cadets), avia-

In addition to these courses, some cadets were employed as staff cadets at camps and acted as instructors and leaders. During their summer training camps, air cadets are paid $10 for each training day (not Sunday), so the average cadet makes $180 during their summer camp experience, though instructors make more. Parents are not asked to pay for anything as activities are funded in partnership with National Defense and the Air Cadet League; all transportation to and from training, meals, accommodation, and essential clothing are provided. Cadets who are enrolled in high school can also earn high school credits for their training. This applies during the school year, as well as each summer training opportunity could

Tay River Pathway extension provides lasting legacy for county residents Ashley Kulp
akulp@metroland.com
If the Tay River Pathway extension is any indication, when Dianne Czerwinski and Nicola Oddy put their mind to something, nothing can stop them. The duo, who spearheaded the extension of the pathway as members of the Lanark Lodge Council of Families and Friends, celebrated its completion Sept. 1. Czerwinski’s father and Oddy’s mother both reside at the lodge. “We just kind of took the gates away and it was open. There were no bells and whistles, even though I kind of heard some imaginary ones in my head,” Czerwinski joked during an interview on the pathway Sept. 7. “You wouldn’t believe how much it’s been used since then,” she continued. “Last night, I came with my dad and another resident from Lanark Lodge and honestly, you can’t sit there and have it to yourself. It’s wonderful.” Located behind Lanark Lodge, the Perth Community Care Centre and the Lanark County administration building, different stages of the 1.5-kilometre pathway have been completed since 2009. The latest one, stretching, includes an accessible boardwalk and viewing platform on a tranquil section of the Tay River. The extension begins through a wooded area, with a packed stone dust making up the pathway before it transfers to a boardwalk with wooden railings. Trees and brush were cleared at a stop on the trail, where a bench has been placed for visitors to catch their
breath. “This area was sort of a sneak preview of the river,” Czerwinski said of the first stop. “You don’t see it much right now, because of the tall grasses, but in the spring and fall, it will be very, very obvious. It’s a nice feeling.” “The nice part about this one is I was out here with my mom the other morning and this spot here is in the shade in the morning,” Oddy added. “So, it’s a beautiful shady spot to sit, whereas the viewing deck is quite warm...we sat here for quite a long time actually and just took it all in.” A few feet later, the area opens up for the viewing deck, which features four benches and a glassed-in railing area to give a wide view of the river. “Wheelchairs, scooters, baby carriages, we’ve seen them all out here already,” Czerwinski stated. Families and Friends committed themselves to a tight fundraising and completion deadline. With a goal of raising a minimum of $67,000 ($28,000 was already in the bank), they began fundraising in June, with plans to complete the project by the end of August. Upon updating Lanark County council in April, the public works department agreed to finish the largest part of the extension, a 300-metre loop around an area of shady pine trees by the summer. Instead, they completed it by April 29. Czerwinski and Oddy got the ball rolling on fundraising through endeavours such as a Mother’s Day campaign and Father’s Day event, as well as auctioning off a piece of art painted by 96-year-old Lanark
Lodge resident Norman Gillies, They also secured larger donations from companies such as Hydro One ($10,000) and True Briton’s Lodge No. 14 of Perth ($20,000 over two years). “We’re still waiting for a few cheques to come in, but we’re really confident in saying that we’ve reached our goal,” Czerwinski confirmed. During the Sept. 7 Lanark County council meeting, Czerwinski and Oddy were formally presented with the $10,000 from Hydro One. The funds come from Hydro One’s Safe Communities Grant, according to the company’s customer operations manager, Jamie McMurtry, who had the opportunity to tour the trail with Czerwinski, Oddy and Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation president Reid Kilburn prior to the meeting. “This is a really great cause. I just want to thank Dianne, Nicola and Reid. They took me on a tour of the trail today and they did a fantastic job,” he remarked. “It’s really, really nice. It’s going to get a lot of use from the community and the residents here.” McMurtry said it’s important for Hydro One to give back to communities. “… Hydro One has a big presence in most of the communities in Ontario and it’s really important for us, as people who not only work in the communities but live in these communities, to give back,” he stated. “So this is one of the great ways we can do that and give these kinds of donations to great foundations like this.” See PATHWAY page 9

Stafford-Wilson tells tales of Lanark County with latest collection of short stories Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Arlene Stafford-Wilson’s sixth book will be launched at The Book Nook on Saturday Sept. 24 and the writer will be on site for a signing period from noon until 4 p.m. with refreshments. If you’re a fan of local history, you won’t want to miss the short stories in this one, including a fire that almost leveled Lanark Village; a “haunted” house, and the mysterious case of a missing boy who may still be alive and living locally. “Lanark County Classics: A Treasury of Tales from Another Time” is a collection of seven short stories that take place in the 1960s and 1970s in Perth, Lanark, Pakenham, Middleville, DeWitt’s Corners, and the former North Burgess Township. Stafford-Wilson was just a young student when she began crafting stories and poetry while attending a one-room schoolhouse in Bathurst, near Christie Lake.
“My mother began to send my poems and little stories into children’s magazines - I think one of them was called Owl Magazine, and they were published much to my mother’s delight!” she said in an email exchange with this newspaper. When she was 11, she attended Glen Tay Public School and was still writing poems and stories. “At the time I was the editor of the Glen Tay School newspaper. I entered a national writing contest sponsored by ‘The Enthusiast’ magazine - a publication for young people, and I won the contest. The prize was the book ‘The Elements of Style’.” She continued to write and was encouraged by her teachers, Mrs. Dencie Conboy and Mrs. Tina McIntyre. “I did well, influenced by so many excellent teachers in that school - Shirley Kelford, Sharon Bell, Richard Frizzell, and our principal David Crowley. I graduated valedictorian and best all round student. Quite an accomplishment for a little farm kid from the Third Line

Arlene Stafford-Wilson will launch her sixth book this Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Book Nook in Perth. of Bathurst!” Stafford-Wilson said her mother sold her farm after her father passed away, and her mother lived in an “One day while we were visiting her I heard a familiar voice, turned and there was my former English teacher Mrs. Tina McIntyre. She chatted with me for
a few minutes, then went up to her room and came down with an old folder filled with my poetry that I had written in grade 7 and 8. We read through them and shared some memories,” Stafford-Wilson wrote. Years later when Mrs. McIntyre passed away, StaffordWilson received a Fed Ex envelope in the mail and it was from her daughter Brenda. Mrs. McIntyre had saved all of my poetry and stories that I had written in her class and Brenda was returning them. That really touched my heart.” As a teenager, her parents took them on a family vacation through the Adirondack mountains. “We stopped for gas and there was a little book store and I saw a lovely red leather bound book called “My Family Roots”, I used all of my spending money on that book and began to do our family’s
genealogy. Later, I joined the Lanark County Genealogical Society and became their newsletter editor and held that position for four or five years. I am still involved with the society, after 20 years, and on Oct. 1 I will be their guest speaker at their 35th anniversary celebration, so that is a real honour for me.” For the past few years, Stafford-Wilson has been a member of the Association of Professional Genealogist where she does research for families - some in the United States, some in Europe and some here in Canada helping to trace their roots back to Lanark County. “My parents were both avid story tellers,” she said, as you will find out in her latest book. “My dad was a farm boy who grew up on the 11th line of Drummond Township and he had many stories that he shared with us. My mother was a La-
nark County fair judge and she travelled to Madoc, Lombardy, Maberly, Perth - almost any local fair in the county and judged baking and also sewing and fancy work like quilts, doilies, crocheting and knitting,” she stated. “Our ancestor Tobias Stafford came from County Wexford, Ireland and was among the first settlers in Drummond Township in 1816, so our Lanark County roots run deep. This year we are celebrating 200 years since settling in the county, so you can likely see why Lanark County will always remain in my heart.” When Stafford-Wilson’s mother passed away in 2007, she said she wanted to preserve her recipes. “She had been a keen competitor at all of the local fairs for many years, then became a See AUTHOR page 5

fair judge and so I wanted to share her recipes with her grandchildren. My first book, ‘Recipes and Recollections’ is a collection of 93 of her prizewinning recipes and stories from myself and my four siblings about growing up on a small farm. My first book was originally used as a fund-raiser for Calvin United Church near DeWitt’s Corners - the little church our mother had taken us to when we were growing up. It was important for us to give back in some way and to do something with the money raised from her recipes. The book became very popular and there were many requests to write more stories. I decided that I would share some of my stories of growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, and so the series on Lanark County was born!” Don’t miss this latest tribute to those Lanark County roots, and don’t be surprised to find your name, or that of a loved one inside the pages. “One of the things that I

hope readers will take away from my books is a sense of what it was like growing up in the 1960s and 1970s and how different things are today. Imagine living in the times where we had a party line and phone calls were shared with the neighbours. Now many young children have their own cell phones. What a difference! We were isolated out in the country attending one-room school houses. That is also a big change. Boys would ‘disappear’ for a few weeks during the maple syrup harvest so they could help at home. No one thought anything of it. We played outside, ran around, swam in the Tay River and Christie Lake, and rode our bikes up and down the Third Line. We never worried about our weight because we were so busy playing outside.” Stafford-Wilson said she hopes to preserve a slice of history, so that many years from now, when there is no one left to remember, someone could pick up one of her books and they would have a first-hand account of life on a small farm
during that time. “I also make a point of listing people’s names and telling the reader who was there, and what role they played. I hope that this reminds the reader that everyone played their part - not just the prominent citizens of the time who will already be recorded in history, but the local farmer, the people who ran the general store, the ladies who organized an event and the neighbours living up the road. They all played a part and should be remembered. I also try to list the names of people’s mothers and fathers in the book, to help future genealogists in their research, and so readers can see family connections.” Her target audience is anyone who is interested in stories about the area whether they are her peers who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, or the generation before, or even youngsters who want to find out more about our history. “When I write a book I never use offensive language, so that anyone of any age group could enjoy the stories.”

Bartleman to speak at Truth and Lyons Goodfellow FURNITURE Reconciliation event set for Sept. 27 Wood Sale ON NOW! Former Ontario Lieutenant-Governor James Bartleman is the keynote speaker at a gathering on Sept. 27 designed to generate greater local understanding of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s calls for action. Hosted by the Community Issues Working Group of the Lanark County Planning Council for Children, Youth and Families, “A Journey to Truth and Reconciliation in Lanark County” will bring together community service providers, community leaders from municipal, recreational, educational and faith-based organizations, and Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners who care about this important work. “The findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the resulting calls for action have left many people wondering how they could possibly make a dif-
ference,” explained Jane Torrance, community coordinator of the Lanark County Planning Council for Children Youth and Families. “We wanted to organize an event that would help get those conversations started and to show our Lanark County community that we all have a part to play in moving this initiative forward.” Bartleman will provide a national perspective and context to the issue. The day will also feature guest speakers Larry McDermott, a local Indigenous activist who has focused on human rights and the environment, who will lead the discussion on the Lanark County perspective, and a student from the Upper Canada District School Board, to provide insight from the youth perspective. In the afternoon, Upper Canada District School Board teacher Jim Palmer will lead the group
in the Blanket Exercise, which is a powerful, interactive activity that helps to illustrate CanadianIndigenous history from pre-contact through colonization to the present. A thanksgiving address led by an Elder, as well as drumming by the Lanark County Drum Circle, a smudge ceremony, indigenous food and an opportunity for fishing will be among the activities. The Lanark County Planning Council will also present its commitment statement to the calls for action. The event takes on Sept. 27 at Camp Merrywood, 741 Port Elmsley Road, Perth. Registration begins at 9 a.m. All are welcome and the event is free, however donations are encouraged.Space is limited, so please preregister by Sept. 22 at https://www.eventbrite. ca/e/a-journey-to-trutha n d - re c o n c i l l i at i o n in-lanark-county-tickets-25971856522.

Mills Community Support offers wonderful weave of food, entertainment and art Oct. 1 Come experience the weave of tapastree….music, morsels and memories, a not-to-be-missed celebration of local food, talent and community, and a fundraiser for Mills Community Support. To be held Saturday, Oct. 1 at the Almonte Old Town Hall, from 6 to 9:30 p.m., this wonderful evening takes place on National Seniors’ Day and the International Day of Older Persons, with proceeds going to supplement our seniors’ programs and services. “Tapastree” is a play on words and gives an idea of the event’s theme – weaving a tapestry of taste, sight, and sound, all grounded in the creativity and interconnectedness of our communities. Delicious food served in a small plates format – or “tapas” – kicks off the evening. Prepared by a select group of local chefs – including Heirloom Café and Bistro, Café Postino, Ginger Café, Jessica’s Syrian Foods, Palms Café, the Pakenham General Store, Your Independent in Carleton Place, and the new Beckwith Kitchen - will be complemented by craft beer from Cartwright Springs in Pakenham, and local wine. Dessert, accompanied by a coffee service from Fluid Solar Roasted and Fulton’s, will take place amid the “salons” of the tapastree art show and sale, featuring local artists and artisans who will be generously donating 25 per cent of sales to the event proceeds. The abundance continues after the food service with a fantastic variety
show highlighting local musical and theatrical talent. Entertainment for the evening will feature accomplished pianist Kathryn Briggs and award-winning singer/ songwriter and finger-style guitarist Terry Tufts. Individually wellknown and well-respected as musicians, together Kathryn and Terry present their own special weave of musical artistry, humour, wit and melody. Also appearing will be up and coming singer-songwriter Sarah Milligan with a solo performance, and Sage Age Theatre, a 25-years-young sketch comedy troupe, who will entertain with their improv theatre by seniors, about seniors and for everyone. Incredible support from sponsors, community partners and volunteers has woven a strong foundation for the event. Orchard View by the Mississippi, including Joe Princiotta and the Orchard View family, has taken a leadership role as Presenting sponsor for tapastree. As Joe commented, “Orchard View by the Mississippi is pleased to be partnering with the Mills Community Support in the journey to provide quality seniors services in our community. We are excited to be able to share the gifts of talent and resources that each of our residents, our team and our home has to offer to build a strong and supportive community within Mississippi Mills.” Key community sponsorships have also been developed with Bean Chevrolet in Carleton Place, Carleton Place Terrace and Canadian Hydro Components.

As Karen Milligan, chair of the board for Mills Community Support says, “We believe the quality of life in a community is linked to how it views aging and how it cares for its elders.

here’s no shortage of great ideas to effect positive change in our communities throughout the tri-county area and now is the time to put those ideas to work. Aviva Canada announced this week it is now accepting submissions for the 2016 Aviva Community Fund competition, which includes a pot of $1 million to spread to successful initiatives across the province. This isn’t small change. People can submit projects in three categories – community resilience, community health and community development. Those are also broken down into two funding levels – small ideas (under $50,000) or large ideas ($50,000 to $100,000). Now’s the time to submit your applications and there’s limited time to do it. The request for submissions opened Sept. 20 and closes Oct. 6. Voting for the projects begins soon after, on Oct. 11. Finalists will be announced Nov. 7 and winners will be revealed Dec. 6.
New this year, winning participants will gain valuable resources, training and education through CanadaHelps.org. Our area has seen success through the competition in years past, most recently in 2015 when LAWS was awarded $5,000 towards their goal of a new shelter. These funds have the power to make an idea a reality, whether it’s campaigning to construct a new splash pad in your community, funding for youth centre programs, improvements to a community centre, startup funds for farmers’ markets, or installing a new bandshell in the park, every dollar helps and gets these projects closer to breaking ground and changing lives. There’s nothing we love more as your community newspaper, than bragging about the people doing great things in our areas. And there’s no shortage of extraordinary individuals and ideas in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Take a look at the competition rules or submit your idea at avivacommunityfund.org.
Special visitor greeted with morning blast from Father The morning sounds never varied. Besides Father, I was always awake long before anyone else in the house. But this time of year, the sounds were harder to hear because our Findlay Oval had been moved to the summer kitchen in an effort to keep the rest of the house as cool as possible, and I had to strain to hear Father doing what he did every morning without fail. Even though he tried his best to be quiet, there was no way to completely block out the sounds that came out of the summer kitchen, and I could picture in my mind’s eye exactly what he was doing. He would already be in his bib overalls and red plaid shirt, and his grey wool socks. His work boots would be sitting at the back door. I could hear him lift the

lids as one, and hook them onto the side of the stove, and I would hear the Renfrew Mercury being scrunched up and placed in the firebox. Then I would hear him take the kindling from the wood box, and to finish the job, I could hear him place a log from the wood box on top. I knew he would be going to the back door, pull on his boots, and quietly quit the house. I heard the latch click and the door close behind him. Then I heard sounds I had never heard before...oh, maybe the time he slammed the hammer onto his thumb in the drive shed. But the roars I was sure could be heard all the way over to the Barr Line! Well, did that get the whole house up in a hurry! He was swearing in German, so I knew

it must be something serious. Then he yelled that no one was to come out of the house! “Don’t open the door,” he hollered. And then it struck us all at the same time, as we stood in the summer kitchen, the rancid smell cut into the air like a knife and we knew Father had been royally sprayed by a skunk! Mother sent Audrey to the rag bag to get the biggest piece of old flannelette sheet she could find, Everett was sent to get a bar of homemade lye soap, I was sent to the bedroom

Hydro One presented a $10,000 donation to the Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation during the Sept. 7 Lanark County council meeting at the administration building in Perth. The funds will go towards the recently-completed Tay River Pathway extension between the county building and Lanark Lodge. Above, from left: Lanark Lodge Council of Family and Friends’ Nicola Oddy, Lanark County Warden Gail Code, Hydro One customer operations manager Jamie McMurtry, Lanark Lodge Council of Family and Friends’ Dianne Czerwinski and Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation president Reid Kilburn. Left, Oddy, left, and Czerwinski, right, with Jason Munro of True Briton’s Lodge who donated $10,000 toward the project. The lodge is donating another $10,000 in 2017 to go towards further development of the pathway. Above, a stone dust trail leads to the accessible viewing deck. Right, a boardwalk leads visitors through a wooded area to a larger viewing platform.
The Masons of True Briton’s Lodge No. 14 also provided $10,000 of their $20,000 commitment on Sept. 14. The additional $10,000 will be given to the Lanark County Municipal Trails Corporation, who will manage the pathway, in 2017 for further development of the route. “We are still overwhelmed by the generosity of the Masons and we are product to have them, along with Hydro One Inc., as partners in this project,” Oddy stated. Lanark County Warden Gail Code applauded the efforts of all involved in the project. “The communities all came together to make this happen and you’re all amazing,” she said. “Thank you.” Community support Czerwinski and Oddy credited project manager Kevin James of Kevin James Construction for keeping things on track during the eight days of construction on the pathway extension, which began July 20. James volunteered his time and assistance also came from the Lanark-Leeds Home Builders Association. “He (James) rallied the community of contractors who do this kind of build so we would have days where we had eight
people here from different construction companies and the construction companies would donate anywhere from one to three members of their crew,” Czerwinski explained. “The guys were paid, but the construction company itself donated it.” Throughout the entire process, the duo were humbled by the generosity of the community. From donations of lumber from Perth Home Hardware, to former architects volunteering their time to complete the design plan for the project. “It’s hard to mention anyone in particular because everybody did something to help us, what they could,” Czerwinski explained. “It just shocked us, surprised us and made us think, ‘What an incredible community.’” Oddy said 118 individuals made donations “and maybe 20 businesses and a lot of clubs and groups.” The day the viewing platform was installed, Czerwinski and Oddy came to the realization the project would actually be completed. “It was one of the happiest days of my life,” Oddy remarked. “Walking down here, we had tears running down our faces that day,” added Czerwinski. Looking as if its nestled between mature trees, the construction required special effort
by James and his crew. The end result is truly the jewel in the pathway extension, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature and the wildlife surrounding them. “You sit up here and you can see birds flying by and fish jumping and there’s a great big frog that we’ve named Jack that hangs out here and of little frogs around as well,” Oddy said, interrupted by the croak of some frogs. “There’s beavers around here and muskrats.” Oddy indicated the addition of the glassed-in railing adds to the accessibility factor, allowing people in wheelchairs with an unobstructed view. “...We’re really happy with the looks and the results. We think it’s stunningly beautiful,” she said. Though they call this portion phase one, Czerwinski and Oddy said the contribution of Families and Friends to the Tay River Pathway is now complete. They had a vision to give people living in long-term care a chance to reconnect with nature and that has been achieved. “...People, when they live in long-term care, generally they live in a building and don’t have a lot of day-to-day contact not just with the outdoors, but with people. They don’t see children playing, they don’t see families sitting at a picnic table, they don’t see dogs running,” Czerwinski commented. “...What
we end up doing (with the pathway) is reintegrating the people in long-term care homes back into society and it’s rich. It’s a really rich thing and it’s better than any medicine they can get.” It is there hope that someone else picks up the reins and takes the pathway to the next level. “We got the ball rolling,” Oddy said. “...There’s a lot out there and there just needs to be someone to get on it. It would be a shame for the ball to stop rolling now.” Looking out on the Tay River, Oddy remarked, “I wouldn’t change a thing.” “Would you?” she asked Czerwinski. “Not at all.”

smell cut into your throat like the blade of a knife and I was reasonably sure we would never be able to go out the summer kitchen door again! It was close to dinner time before we saw Father climbing the hill from the river, his stinking clothes held well away from his body with a long stick and he was wearing only the clean underwear. He was quite a sight and we were warned that one snicker out of any of us, and we would pay dearly. Mother had already filled an old iron kettle with hot water from the reservoir. Used to catch rainwater off the roof, it was big enough to hold all Father’s skunk-drenched clothes, which I was reasonably sure he would never wear again. She added shaved lye soap, a few cups of vinegar and she threw in a cup of baking soda for good measure. Everett was ordered to bury the skunk, but it would be days before the stench was faded enough that we could go out the back door without holding our noses. Although Father had scoured himself from head to toe in the river, there was still a faint smell of skunk which Mother insisted was coming from the slaughter outside and not from Father. Emerson pretended to gag and Mother slapped him on the side of the head, which straightened him up in a hurry. There wasn’t much chatter around the dinner table that noon hour, and when we said our prayers that night, Mother added a special request. We all prayed for a heavy, long lasting rain to get rid of the last vestige of the skunk smells that had played havoc that late summer morning out at Northcote.

Annual Fall Colours Hike descends Blueberry Mountain Oct. 2 This engaging nature experience fits in nicely with MMLT’s new Wild Child initiative. Research tells us that many of our children are disconnected from the natural world. The digital age brings many advantages and opens up countless doors but no matter how captivating and addictive, the screen can never touch the depth of our souls or cultivate what it means to be fully human as does immersing ourselves in nature.
When children discover nature they come to love it and soon become advocates for the natural world. This not only applies to children but to the wild child in all of us. It’s a win-win situation. Our Fall Colours Hike will take place on Sunday, Oct. 2, with registration beginning at 10 a.m. The hike starts at 10:30 a.m. A donation of $10 per person is requested and children 12 and under are free.
The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust will be holding its annual Fall Colours Hike to Blueberry Mountain on Sunday, Oct. 2. Above, hikers celebrate after reaching the mountain, which boasts incredible views of the season’s foliage.
Howard Clifford, as the legendary John Muir, will be stationed at the waterfall to share stories with children and to chat with adults who wish to drop by either on the way up or on the way down from the mountain. The hike to the top is a gradual, 45-minute climb with one short, steep rise to reach the lookout. Why not pack a picnic to enjoy at the peak? Desserts will be
served after the walk. Children under 12 will be awarded certificates for making the climb. There’s also an 80 Plus Club for any octogenarians wanting a challenge. It’s a great experience for all generations! Blueberry Mountain is located at 502 Hills of Peace Rd. near Flower Station in Lanark Highlands. Drive north of Lanark on Highway 511 to Bright-

This annual fundraising event, sponsored by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT), is a favourite for people of all ages. What better place to view the glorious autumn colours and share a picnic with family and friends than on the top of Blueberry Mountain? Local botanist David White puts it this way: “The panoramic view from the hilltop is unmatched in the county.”

Youth homelessness awareness campaign comes to Lanark County Joe Roberts, the man who is pushing a shopping cart across Canada to raise funds and awareness for youth homelessness, will arrive in Lanark County next week. Roberts, who experienced the hardships of homelessness himself as a young adult on the streets of Vancouver, became a successful entrepreneur and is now giving back. He started his 9,000 km journey in May of this year, and will be making hundreds of stops in communities to be involved in local events across the country. Local events Friday, Sept. 30 Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd. is holding a barbecue to welcome Joe from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at their dealership at 375 McNeely Avenue in Carleton Place. The Beckwith Butcher will be preparing the food, generously donated by Bean Chevrolet Buick GMC Ltd., and Rental Village will assist with the set-up for lunch. Everyone is welcome to come and learn more about youth homelessness in our community and hear Joe speak. Following the barbecue, Joe will be making a special presentation to the students at the Carleton Place High School, along with students from other local schools Saturday, Oct. 1 Come out the Perth Farmers’ Market at the Crystal Palace on the Tay Basin from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. to learn about the inter-related issues of food security and youth homelessness in the community. Ready to work up a sweat? Make a donation to Push For Change and walk like Joe on one of our treadmills. The Table and Perth Farmers’ Market will also be holding their annual Chili Cook Off and Cider Pressing. You can sample and vote with a donation, then purchase a bowl of your favourite chili and wash it down with some fresh apple cider. All pro-
Your support helps save lives www.heartandstroke.on.ca
ceeds will go to The Table’s Harvest Campaign, and be sure to bring a non-perishable food donation for The Table. Be sure to stay around until after noon to hear Joe speak. Monday, Oct. 3 Joe will be making a special presentation to the students at the Smiths Falls Collegiate Institute. Want to get involved? Everyone is welcome to attend the barbecue on Sept. 30 at the Perth Farmers’ Market on Oct. 1. Take the Barefoot Challenge: Participate by texting BOOTSUWLC to 41010 to donate $10 towards preventing youth homelessness, go without your boots or shoes for one hour, and share your experience by posting pictures or videos on social media. Walk with Joe Health & Wellness Challenge: Register as an individuals or a team, set a fundraising goal and match Joe’s steps. Celebrity cart: Raise $1,000 per kilometre to walk with Joe using an online crowd funding. Donate: Visit www.thepushforchange.com, or to give specifically to local initiatives, go to www.lanarkunitedway.com. The Push for Change, partnering together with Raise the Roof Canada and The National Coalition to End Youth Homelessness, are working to build a Prevention Framework called “The Upstream Project.” The Push for Change will share funds raised while in Lanark County and Smiths Falls between the Upstream Project and the United Way Lanark County, who will distribute the funds to agencies serving homeless youth.

Bridget Jones’s Baby a real charmer for fans MOVIE: Bridget Jones’s Baby STARRING: Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey, Sarah Solemani and Emma Thompson DIRECTOR: Sharon Maguire RATING: 14A Was Bridget Jones’s Baby completely necessary? Probably not. Were there droves of fans desperate to see the completion of the trilogy? Maybe. I honestly couldn’t say. Was this movie delightfully charming and laughout-loud funny? Yes. Yes it was. We find Bridget (Renee Zellweger) on her 43rd birthday. She’s single, has a great job, and better friends. She’s happy, but still looking for that certain something or someone to complete that picture in her mind. For her birthday her best friend, Miranda (Sarah Solemani), takes her to a music festival. In a whirlwind of music, dancing and alcohol Bridget finds herself in the tent of Jack (Patrick Dempsey). The two share a night together, and the next morning Bridget makes her exit never expecting to see Jack again. Not long after Bridget runs into her ex, Mark (Colin Firth), at the christening of her God
My Take
MARK HASKINS
daughter. Mark is in the middle of a divorce, and very much missing Bridget. After a lot of dancing, and quite of bit of alcohol Mark and Bridget end the night with each other. Once again Bridget makes a discrete exit before things become complicated. Soon after Bridget’s two encounters things become complicated. Bridget is pregnant and has no idea if Jack or Mark is the father. If you think that’s awkward you have to see the scene where she tells the two of them together that either might be a dad. Priceless. Now Bridget is with child and has two men competing for her affection. She has to choose between the successful lawyer and old flame, or the internet billionaire and exciting new romance. What is a girl to do? Bridget Jones’s Baby may not be the most anticipated conclusion to a trilogy to hit the big screen, but it is a lot of fun. The
film takes the most awkward moment conceivable, and stretches it out for two hours. It’s painful, and hilarious. The film seeks to work on a number of comedic levels from not-so-subtle innuendo to outrageous physical gags. There’s one scene where both men are forced to carry Bridget through the streets of London to the hospital that has to be seen. With the humour comes the heartwarming, and a balance is neatly struck. It’s a charming film about love and life that also happens to be extremely funny. If you were just looking at the bill and saw Renee Zellweger, Patrick Dempsey and Colin Firth in the same movie you wouldn’t need to know much more, and you’d be right. Zellweger picks up where she left off making us laugh, captivating with her charm, and touching our hearts. Her talent has been missed. Dempsey and Firth make it hard to know who to cheer for, but what I really like is their chemistry as rivals. They play off each other beautifully, and make for some seriously funny moments. Bridget Jones’s Baby is a true delight. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

The Westport Arts Council’s ninth annual Writers Reading at the Westport United Church, 1 to 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 24, features award-winning Canadian authors Peter Behrens, Iain Reid, Andrew Westoll, and Zoe Whittall. Ireland and the Irish play a big part in Peter Behrens’ novels. Born in Montreal, he is descended from mid-19th century immigrants who, like so many others, sought a new life in Canada – not unlike those who settled Westport and elsewhere in Eastern Ontario. His first two novels, The Law of Dreams (winner of the 2006 Governor General’s Literary Award, and published in nine languages), and The O’Briens (2011), draw in part on his own family’s struggle to adapt and flourish in a new world. Peter’s latest novel, Carry Me, published earlier this year, bridges the decades between the two World Wars amid the growing anti-Semitism that blights multi-generational relationships between two families, one Irish, one German. His short stories, published in two volumes, Travelling Light and Night Driving, and his essays, have appeared in anthologies and the Atlantic Monthly, Tin House, Brick, and elsewhere. Peter is currently a Fellow at Harvard University’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced

Kanetix, one of Canada’s oldest and leading online insurance shopping centres recently passed along some great and timely safe driving reminders as we all get back in the swing of fall commuting. With the return of the school year, driving safely takes on a whole new level of importance as our urban streets become a lot more crowded with bus, cycling and pedestrian traffic. Rushed and unsafe driving may bring some unexpected financial burdens along with the more crucial aspect of putting the health and lives of fellow travelers at risk. Kanetix VP Janine White sends along these tips to help keep bodies, property, and wallets safe. Parking in a no parking zone: A bad habit many of us are guilty of, we may do this to simply grab a coffee, or drop the kids off at school. But it’s more of a big deal than you think. Parking tickets increased earlier this year, and blocking a lane of traffic or leaving your car where you shouldn’t could get you a $150

ticket, or worse, get your car towed. Driving through crosswalks. As of this year, drivers trying to roll through crosswalks when pedestrians are attempting to cross or as soon as they are halfway through could face a maximum fine of $500 and three demerit points. That fine doubles in a community safety zone. This bad habit could increase your insurance policy by 15 per cent. Dooring a cyclist: It’s important you always look before you exit your vehicle. Even if it’s not on purpose, dooring a cyclist can get you a maximum fine of $1,000 as well as three demerit points. You may also end up with an at-fault accident if your vehicle is damaged and the cyclist is hurt. The accident and the
ticket could lead to a 50 per cent increase on your insurance policy. Texting at a red light or changing a song on your phone: Simply touching your phone or any electronic device that is separate from your car’s dashboard can get you a distracted driving ticket costing anywhere from $490 to $1,000 plus three demerit points upon conviction. The impact on your insurance policy would be 15 per cent. Backing out of a driveway: If an incident happens while you’re in reverse, it’s always your fault. Without accident forgiveness, something as small as backing into a garbage can or running over a bike in the driveway can affect your insurance. And if you’ve caused a collision with on-coming traffic, you can expect the financial impact to be quite severe. These incidents could increase your policy by 50 per cent.

Brought to you by
Fishing industry in Nova Scotia is a thriving scene It was turkey dinner with all the fixings for lunch at the Tuna Museum café in Wedgeport on Aug. 11. In a Nova Scotia fishing village, where lobster rolls are as common as hot dogs are here, it is nice to change things up once in a while. The café operates daily and is attached to the ‘Wedgeport Sport Tuna Fishing Museum’ which is a highlight in the village. The weekday lunches attract a good crowd of locals and visitors. The home-style meals are prepared by volunteers and the proceeds help keep the small tuna museum operating. Wedgeport, just outside Yarmouth in southwestern Nova Scotia, is the hometown of our Carleton Place friend Frank LeBlanc. Kathleen and I were fortunate enough to visit the community in the company of Frank and his wife Wendy in August. Our first stop in the village was the LeBlanc family home. Frank’s brother Carl, who lives in west Ottawa, bought the residence a few years ago and is busily restoring it, while retaining many of the historical features. Carl was just
finishing a month-long stay in his second home (he’s a frequent visitor) and he gave us a tour. He’s done a good job of renovating the two-storey property and has plans to upgrade it further. Carl is keeping it in the family which is much appreciated I am sure. The men’s parents and three brothers have passed on. Four LeBlanc brothers and their sister remain. It was Carl who invited us to lunch at the café. When we arrived we quickly realized he had already taken care of things which was very nice of him. The LeBlancs are proud Acadians who are as comfortable with the English language as they are their native Acadian French. Kathy and I enjoyed listening to the conversation in the restaurant. Wedgeport folks speak in an interesting mix of French and English and all of them switch back and forth effortlessly. Frank is a linguist who also speaks German fluently. He learned the language while stationed in Germany with the Canadian Army. He also understands and can converse in other languages, something which always amazes me.
Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Wedgeport has long been billed “The Tuna Capital of the World.” Over the years the lure of the giant fish has drawn anglers from across the continent and around the world. From 1935 to the mid-1960s the village was one of the top destinations on the planet for sport tuna fishermen. Bluefin tuna are attracted close to the shore at Wedgeport due to an abundance of small fish which they feast on. In turn their presence makes the Tusket River and what is known locally as “the Tuna Rip” excellent fishing grounds. In 1949 there were 72 tuna caught during the ‘International Tuna Cup’ contest at Wedgeport. The combined catch weighed in at an astounding 30,161 pounds!
FDR was here After lunch we toured the very interesting museum. Among the historic photographs on the walls are shots of a smiling FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) fishing for tuna at Wedgeport in the late 1930s. The American president spent many summers at Campobello Island, a Canadian possession located in the Bay of Fundy off the New Brunswick coast. His mother’s family had a large estate on Campobello for decades. FDR later acquired an even bigger property (a 34-room “cottage”) on the island. It was at Campobello, in 1921, that Roosevelt fell ill with polio which robbed him of the full use of his legs for the remainder of his life. When the president angled for tuna he was transported to Nova Scotia on the presidential yacht accompanied by a U.S. Navy destroyer. Quite the fishing expedition! His visit may have been the biggest celebrity sighting in Wedgeport but it wasn’t the only one. Famed writer Ernest Hemingway, a life-long fishing enthusiast, also trolled the waters off the Nova Scotia village for Bluefin.
Many other well-known people from the worlds of politics and entertainment are represented in the museum’s considerable photo gallery. The facility also contains a mock tuna fishing boat, complete with an original tuna “fighting chair.” You have to be strong to land one of those massive creatures! In addition there are fishing rods, trophies and display cases filled with mementos from the glory days of the sport. We were impressed by the massive stuffed lobster on display which, when originally caught, weighed an incredible 32 pounds. The lobster pays homage to the most prominent part of Wedgeport’s inshore fishing industry. There are rich lobster grounds all around the village and we saw the vessels, traps and “lobster cars.” The so-called lobster cars are storage huts which are floated to the primary locations during lobster season and used to temporarily store the highly prized crustaceans. After a downturn in sport tuna fishing, mainly due to the absence of large See MAGUIRE page 25

From page 24
numbers of the fish, we learned the tuna stock in the region has improved and there is now a larger focus on the fish by both commercial and sport fisher people. I say “fisher people” because commercial fishing is not confined to males as it once was. There are many women working in the industry today. The museum was great. But the most interesting part of our Wedgeport visit was yet to come. Frank began his working life in the family business, fishing. He decided he wanted something different. Frank moved on to a long and distinguished career in the Canadian Armed Forces. His brother Larry, however, is still one of the main players in Wedgeport’s thriving fish processing industry. Larry manages Schooner Seafoods Limited, a large facility in Lower Wedgeport. We were fortunate enough to meet Larry who took us on a comprehensive tour of the processing plant. I would need a separate column to fully trace that very interesting experience, something I have now added to my list of future articles. Larry’s outline left us feeling good about the future of Canada’s Maritime fishing industry. Fish that was once caught here and then shipped to China for packaging – much to the chagrin of us and many others who enjoy fish and seafood – is now being processed and marketed in Canada by companies including Schooner. Asian market At the same time Larry and others have created a major business out of
selling what most Canadians would consider “junk fish” to the Orient. In the Far East products such as roe (fish and crustacean eggs) are much sought after delicacies. Larry has even invented an ingenious way of separating this kind of product from the main catch, right on the processing line. We were highly impressed by the tour. Larry’s delicious sense of humour made our day. The man never stops working but that doesn’t stop him from enjoying life! Admittedly I have painted a rather rosy picture of the fishing industry which, at this stage, is doing quite well despite the restrictions of the quota system and the ban on cod fishing. Commercial fishing is difficult and extremely dangerous work, something I will also comment on here. For years cod were an endangered species. The Canadian government wisely acted to protect our valuable fishing industry. The decisions reached, which were not always popular, were aimed at replenishing the once vast stocks which were being swept from the Atlantic by fleets from other nations. The ban and careful enforcement appears to be working well at this juncture. One afternoon we visited Dennis Point Wharf at Pubnico which, besides being a major lobster centre, is also home to Canada’s largest ground fishing fleet. Dozens of vessels were moored there and we saw others leaving port on their way to rich fishing grounds such as Georges Bank. We were fortunate enough to talk to a young fisherman whose vessel had just returned to Pubnico after a successful five-day trip. He was expertly filleting some haddock which he had set aside to take to his mother.
Association stresses to share the road safely
Frank told us that the haul (thousands of pounds of mainly haddock) the man and his two fellow crew members had secured would “make their year.” Fishing is too lucrative a trade to turn down for many Nova Scotians! Still, the one element that is ever present is danger. Commercial fishing can be a deadly undertaking. That fact is underlined by the memorials to lost ships and crew which are prominent in so many Nova Scotia centres, including Yarmouth. Storms at sea and accidents have taken a heavy toll over the years. The number of Nova Scotia based crew members and vessels lost at sea are sobering. The year 1879 was especially deadly for Yarmouth County. Not all of those involved were fishermen as many cargo vessels were also based there at that time. A total of 31 vessels and 106 crew members and passengers from Yarmouth were lost at sea in 1879. As recently as 2000, Frank’s uncle George Wallace from Wedgeport died when the trawler he captained capsized. He went down with the ship while four others survived the accident. George is remembered on the Yarmouth memorial. Travel is always educational but I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about Canada’s historic and still vitally important fishing industry. Talking to the experts is always best. I was fortunate enough to obtain my information in the best places and from the most knowledgeable people the business has to offer.

area: Exceeding the speed limit even by 16 km/hour will get you three demerit points and fines that increase for each kilometre range that’s over the limit. If it’s found that something was distracting you – for example, you were playing with your phone or putting on makeup, you could also get a distracted driving ticket in addition to your speeding ticket. A speeding ticket can have 15 per cent effect on your insurance. Distracted by children: Whether you’re focused on soothing the baby behind you or trying to get your kids to stop fighting in the back seat, if you aren’t paying attention to the road and an officer spots you, expect to get a ticket for distracted driving. Auto industry news has been filled recently with announcements from just about every carmaker on the planet moving forward with autonomous or self-driving vehicle projects.

or assist systems are completely reliant on good, clean, well-marked painted lane lines on our roads for proper operation. Most self-driving prototype vehicles will simply refuse to move if their various sensors and cameras can’t ‘see’ or sense clear distinct lane-makers on the road ahead. But vehicles with lane-keeping features can still merrily roll along and drivers may be lulled into a false sense of security thinking their auto will let them know if their vehicle is drifting out of their lane. And while we should properly blame poor road maintenance practices for this problem, our Canadian winters can be equally at fault for covering lane-marks with ice and snow.

Walk Your Paws for LAWS fundraiser this Saturday in Carleton Place We hope you’ve remembered to get your pledge forms and to find many supporters for the Walk your Paws for LAWS coming up this Saturday, Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We’re optimistic that you’ll be there in large numbers to show us you care about the animals as much as we do. It’s going to be so much fun meeting so many people while walking your dogs. Lots of other exciting things are organized like face painting, a barbecue, raffles, fun music and there will be a microchip clinic available. At 10 a.m., a big announcement will be made. The walk will be held at the Carleton Place arena on 75 Neelin Street. Pledge forms are available at the shelter or online at www.lanarkanimals.ca This week’s featured pets Velcro Velcro was surrendered to the shelter for no fault of his own. Initially very shy, Velcro has come a long way. Once in LAWS care meeting new people every day he quickly learned people are OK to be with. Velcro has been at LAWS since April and is starting to show signs of sadness. Most of his buddies he played with in the cat runs found homes and he’s still waiting to be chosen. Velcro does enjoy the company of other cats and would be a welcome addition to any household where he can explore on his own.
This Week’s Pets get along well too with the store cat and the store dog. So please come a pick me up and take me home please, I am looking forward to meet my new family. Ashes Ashes was pregnant upon arrival sometime in May. She delivered her kittens who all found homes. Ashes is extremely petite but huge in sharing her affection. She’s the love bug of a tabby cat you’ve been waiting for. She is growing her winter coat in anticipation to be ready for the snow to come. She was recently spayed, loves other cats and is ready to go home with you. Ashes would be a good addition for any home.
Ella Hi there, Ella here. I need a home where I am the only cat love of your life and I don’t really like dogs either. I love to be handled and am extremely affectionate.

may accidentally knock you over. We think due to this being around smaller children may not be best. We don’t think he minds being around children though. They could even be part of brushing his fur, as Huskies shed a lot and need a lot of care to keep their fur shiny and
well groomed. Thank you for your continued support. Follow us if you like on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals, visit us online at www.lanarkanimals.ca or if you

Jarvis and Patrick
In March of 2014 Jarvis and Patrick started their journey to friendship in the traditional Big Brother Program. Patrick had been waiting for a big brother for over two years before Jarvis came along. Patrick was fascinated with police officers and wanted to be matched with one. Jarvis is aspiring to become a police officer and was present for a presentation by Big Brothers Big Sisters in one of his police foundations classes at Algonquin College. A caseworker at Big Brothers Big Sisters knew this would be a perfect match. Over two years later, Jarvis and Patrick have developed a solid friendship through attending car races, going to the movies or just hanging out and playing video games. Both of them say that they wouldn’t change anything about their match. Patrick certainly learns a lot from his time spent with Jarvis but Jarvis also learns from Patrick. That’s what mentoring is about, spending time together, learning from each other and having a great time!

Benefit dance for Ryan Boothby Sept. 24 in Cobden as he battles cancer A Cobden area family is rallying around one of their loved ones and asking the community to get in on the efforts. Twenty-three-year-old Ryan Boothby was just getting back to his seasonal job as a heavy equipment operator at Bonnechere Excavating Inc. this past May when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease, a type of lymphoma. Throughout the winter, he had experienced a rash, night sweats and weight loss that prompted him to get checked at the doctor. His aunt Tracy Martin said the family is no stranger to cancer. Her mom is a breast cancer survivor, her father passed away in February 2015 from lung cancer and she herself survived Hodgkins Disease 30 years ago. Ryan’s dad also had colon cancer seven years ago.

A benefit dance is being planned for Sept. 24 at the Cobden Agricultural Hall for Ryan Boothby, 23, who has been diagnosed with Hodgkin Disease, a type of lymphoma. Boothby has family in the Carleton Place, Almonte and Perth area. Boothby, a graduate of Ope- will undergo sessions every two ongo High School and former weeks for the next six months, Renfrew Walmart employee, explained Martin. began treatment on July 6 and Because his employment is
seasonal with no health benefits and he is unable to work while undergoing treatment and traveling to his many medical appointments, Boothby could use a financial boost, she said. A benefit dance is being planned for Sept. 24 at the Cobden Agricultural Hall and already there’s been plenty of support for the event, said Martin. People are happy to help out such a good guy, she said. “He’s a pretty outgoing kid with a beautiful smile,” said his aunt. “He’s a hard worker and he loves his job. He’s looking forward to getting back to it.” When Martin faced her battle with cancer, she was overwhelmed by the love
and support. She’s hoping to envelop her nephew with the same strong support she received, in part with the dance that’s being planned. “We felt it was the right thing to do,” she said. “When I was 14 lots of my family and friends came together and had a dance and ball tournament. That’s what family is for.” She regularly calls and sends text messages to Boothby to let him know he’s not alone in his fight. The dance will run from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Cobden Agricultural Hall at 42 Astrolabe Rd. at the Cobden Fairgrounds. Boothby also has

family in the Carleton Place, Almonte and Perth area. “We’re hoping for a good time and a great turnout,” said Martin. The event will feature a light lunch and activities, including a Toonie Toss and draws. There have already been donations from a number of local businesses and more contributions are always welcome. Live entertainment will be provided by Limit and Steve Agnew and tickets, available for a $5 donation, will be available at the door.

Listening Room Series kicks off season Sept. 25 at Perth Tea Room Well, I trust you’ve enjoyed your summer, hopefully being musically entertained at a few festivals or concerts, managing to stay cool somewhere. It was so hot I actually entered a lake on several occasions, a feat not dared in many years. One of my most memorable musical moments was at the Stewart Park Festival – their special program for the 200th anniversary of Perth. After 25 years of working backstage I actually sat in front of the stage for the first time, listening to the Men & Women of the Tay Choirs singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow when, above the stage magically appeared a double rainbow. Now, I don’t know choir director Shelley McLaren’s contacts, but that “technical” effect sure made an impressive impact. What an effective light show. I’m excited to share the news that the Listening Room Series I co-ordinated last winter has found a new home – The Perth Tea Room (formally known as the Perth Restaurant) – 23 Gore St E. We will be presenting singer/songwriters from all over, monthly, offering quality ‘organic’ music in a listening environment – no screens, no chatter – just great original songs with great stories. We’re so pleased to be able to present on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m., Lanark County’s own, who recently
moved to Toronto, Kelly Prescott, (Claytones, Prescott – Brown, Family Brown lineage) and give you a chance to hear her new music from her upcoming solo CD, Hillbilly Jewels, as well as some from her touring songbook. Kelly is an incredible singer/songwriter whose pedigree, being Family Brown’s – Tracey Brown and Randall Prescott’s daughter; her soulful delivery bodes well, keeping their family’s musical tradition alive and well. Touring with her is Newfoundlander, Chris Ryan who opened for Toby Keith and has garnered the following positive comments: “This record reminds me that country music is always changing and merging with other forms. Chris takes us on a ride through an everchanging landscape. Very musical very appealing,” said Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo. “Diggin’ Chris’ new CD. Drunken, Lost, and Lonely is one of my favourite new songs of the year,” said Alan Doyle, Great Big Sea. We are so happy to be back at the Perth Restaurant (now back to it’s historically original name – The Perth Tea Room). We look forward to getting to know the new owners, Melissa and Ryan Baird, who’ve been working hard to establish their own touch on this Perth institution. As many know, Sue and I have host-
ed many wonderful concerts here in the past so we look forward to reestablishing an ongoing line up of talented singer/songwriters we know you’ll enjoy. Call and reserve your dinner reservations at 613-267-3170. Show will be in a concert seating style. Should be a wonderful show. Tickets will be available at the door for $20 or by calling 613-267-7902 to reserve. A portion of the proceeds from each show are going to a community charity, this time being Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. Come on out, hear some satisfying music and support a good cause. Upcoming event Saturday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m.: Campbell Woods plays the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. He will be playing his own songs from new album, Oxford Street, that I’ve so many good things about. Tickets available at Special Greetings or call 613-283-0300 for credit card sales.

are,” he said. “You really need to think about that. This small school in this small town, raising nearly three quarters of a million dollars…I think you need recognition.” He hastened to add that “we don’t do it (relay) for the recognition. We do it because it’s the right thing to do.” Even so, “I think you need recognition.” He reminded the students that one of their special guests at their Relay for Life kick-off assembly this past April, Lindsey Vergette-Lamoureux, had rung the bell at the Ottawa Hospital to signal that her cancer is in remission. Lindsey was a young woman, not much older than many of the students seated in front of him. “It reminds you that no one is invincible,” he said. Gord Downie’s recent revelation that he has terminal cancer, and The Tragically Hip’s historic final performance in Kingston, was “Gord’s gift to everyone,” he said. This performance, however, will help give the students who helped organize the event more than “a pat on the back.” In a speech laced with lines from Hedley songs, Peters said that he received a phone call from Cam Whelan at the Cancer Society.
Hedley is coming. The Canadian rock group from Abbotsford, BC, will be making its way to St. John Catholic High School for a private concert on site on Saturday, Oct. 1. The announcement that Chris, Jacob, Tommy, and Dave would soon be walking down their halls was made on Friday, Sept. 16, during a school assembly. Students were already buzzing in their seats that the west coast rockers might be coming, and they were not disappointed when teacher David Peters took to the stage. “Hedley is coming here to perform a free concert for you,” he said. “To celebrate our 15th anniversary,” for Relay for Life. While that milestone in and of itself is worth celebrating, St. John being the school that it is, there is much more to it than that. During the school’s last Relay for Life for cancer research, the school raised more than $55,000, adding to a grand total of more than $735,000 over the St. John relay’s 15 years. Because of these top dollars, the school now holds the title for raising more funds than any other school in Ontario “I pick up the phone and I through the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life Youth. say hello,” he sang, closing his “I don’t think you guys ap- eyes, to giggles from the audipreciate how special you guys ence.

BAIL OUT From front page
During a delegation to town council this past August, current chamber president Debra Bellevue, told council that the chamber office at Inge-Va House on Craig Street had received 109 tourist requests over two summer months. To this, Brown countered that the Perth Tourism office, located within the Perth Museum, received 5,500 visits from June to August, and that the museum itself saw 1,800 visits. But Coun. Jim Graff, who used to be council’s representative to the chamber, said that during his time there, the reserves were up in the $60,000 plus range, so “they are eating into it.” A former chamber volunteer, who now works for the Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA), clocked in an astounding 900 volunteer hours annually, and he suggested that future funding from the town – the chamber is seeking an annual contribution of $15,000 – be contingent on
getting more volunteers. “I would be in favour of helping them out this year, to get them into the black,” said Graff. (However, during the chamber’s own presentation last month, they conceded that, even with a $10,000 boost from the town, they would still be more than $1,000 in debt for 2016.) Coun. Riq Turner, the current council representative to the chamber, said that “we gave them some money last year. We put stipulations on what they spent it on… we put them in the hole by making stipulations too tight.” However, Mayor John Fenik countered this argument from Turner, replying that “we did not put the Chamber of Commerce in any position,” he said. “If you go into the hole, you go out of business. We did not put anyone in the hole.” He challenged the chamber that they “are going to have to look” at the operations. Even at this, Fenik, as he had suggested he would do last month, put forward a motion to grant the chamber $5,000 in
emergency funding. “I think we should slow down,” said Coun. Ed McPherson, reiterating a point that he did not want to, yet again, give a hand-out to another community group that had failed to meet its goals and had come looking for money outside of the budget process. “Throwing money at the problem is not solving the problem. What is the value to Perth taxpayers?” he asked. Coun. Jim Boldt, who chaired the meeting, said that the chamber brought with it “a lot of benefit. It’s a very positive thing going forward.” But he too wanted “to know why you (the chamber) feel you need $15,000 (per year) in perpetuity?” Brown said that there are plans afoot to hold a meeting between the BIA, the chamber and the town to iron out who does what, and what the respective groups’ interests, strengths, and core goals are. She hoped to see a Letter of Understanding (LOU) that would iron out “who does what and at what
cost.” Fenik added that “all of us recognize the importance of that relationship,” between the town and the chamber. But he warned that 2017 would not be an easy year, financially, for the town. “This is the year where everyone has to get their affairs in order,” he said. There are “major infrastructure decisions,” that need to be made. “This is the year people will have to manage their own fiscal house…If they can’t raise the money,” on their own, they will have to look at other ways to raise the cash in a “more creative way.” “We are being prudent in approving the $5,000,” said Boldt. The final vote was 6 to 1, with McPherson voting against the “bail-out,” as Turner called it. Town staff was directed to write up a staff report for November on the matter. Chief Administrative Officer John deRosenroll said he hoped that the roles of each party could be worked out, to avoid duplication, and in such a way as to compliment the efforts of each side.

Municipal Connection www.perth.ca BICYCLE SAFETY IS FOR ALL AGES: Days are getting shorter. It gets darker earlier and morning light arrives later, often with fog. Shadows are longer, the sun is lower in the sky, which makes it difficult for motorists to see a cyclist on the road. Many cyclists put themselves in danger by wearing dark clothing at any time of the day, but in the early morning and evenings, it is particularly dangerous to wear something dark. If a cyclist is hit by a vehicle, as has recently been the case on numerous occasions in Ottawa, the cyclist will always come out the loser. So it begs the questions: Why do some cyclists refuse to wear helmets? Why would anyone wear dark clothing while riding a bicycle? Why would anyone not have a bright rear flashing red light on the rear of the bicycle, even during the day?
Perth Remembered
Parents should make sure their children follow the rules of cycling safety and be mindful, wearing bright clothing adds to their safety. But adults, in many ways, are the worst offenders. One often sees adults not wearing a helmet, doing things that are obviously reckless and dangerous and wearing dark clothing.
2016 Bicentennial Edition
Why take the chance? It only takes a split second to get into serious trouble. Do not bicycle, skateboard or inline skate on downtown sidewalks.

Chamber, former GM, at odds over legacy, membership decline Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
John LeVatte, the former general manager of the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce, is taking exception to his time in office being described as “a mess.” During a debate over the chamber’s recent request for what was described by Coun. Riq Turner as an “emergency bail-out” of $10,000 during the committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 13. Turner said that “it has been a mess. I will agree with that. It (the chamber) has not been well run in the past.” During the question period following up on a query from The Perth Courier, Turner added of LeVatte’s legacy that “we don’t really know what has taken place…The transition was not as smooth as we had hoped.” (At that meeting, council had voted to give the chamber only $5,000, half of its initial request. The meeting’s chairman, Coun. Jim Boldt, cut the line of questioning short as he said that “I don’t think human resources issues should
be raised in this forum.”) However, during a telephone interview on Monday, Sept. 19, LeVatte said that “I take great exception to that… to describe it as a mess is wrong. That’s not accurate at all.” During a pre-arranged interview with Amber Hall, LeVatte’s successor, at Inge-Va House, the chamber’s headquarters, on Sept. 14, Hall said, “I’m playing catch-up.” While Turner said that the restrictions placed upon the $10,000 given to the chamber last year contributed to its current financial crisis – something Mayor John Fenik denied – Hall had a different take on the money LeVatte asked for in 2015. “That’s their (council’s) right,” to place restrictions on the $10,000. Hall hastened to add that “there were good intentions on both sides,” for the hosting of events. The $10,000 did indeed help facilitate those events – but they ended up, collectively, costing more than $3,000 over budget. LeVatte said of the $3,000 over-budget spending that: “I don’t know. If that’s what they

are reporting, then that must be the case.” There are other allegations that have been levelled against LeVatte to which he is taking exception. Sources allege that the passwords to the chamber’s web site and Facebook pages were also missing. To this, LeVatte had an em-
phatic, “No. I had emailed the passwords and all of the password information to members of the board” in the spring. “If they needed to reach out to me they could.” He also stated that he had had a wrap-up meeting with the board before he left to tie up any loose ends. “There was certainly no great panic,” at the time of his leaving, he asserted. The accusations do not end there however. “None of our membership contact lists were up to date,” Hall said. LeVatte challenged this assertion, saying that he had someone working on the databases and that they were updated on a regular basis. LeVatte said that he gave the board two weeks’ notice that he intended to take up a new position with another organization in Smiths Falls. He left just a week prior to the chamber’s signature event, the Festival of the Maples, held on Saturday, April 30. Hall did not take up her position until June 3, leaving about seven weeks where the chamber was without a general manager.

“That was a big gap,” said Hall. “We’ve had to hit the ground running.” After LeVatte’s departure, Hall said she had several hurdles to overcome. “Membership was significantly down, and our communication was lacking,” said Hall, by as much as 80 members. LeVatte also took great exception to this assertion. “Renewals that were coming in here (were) as steady as they were before,” he said. “I would say that memberships were pretty steady.” Hall said that “everybody has their strengths and weaknesses,” before adding that she could not speak fully about her predecessor as her time in office came several weeks after he had left. But she is having to deal with the fallout. “We have financial challenges because we are down significantly in our memberships,” she said. “We are rebuilding.” Hall was part of a contingent in August, which included president Debra Bellevue, that was seeking the $10,000 in emergency funding for the
remainder of 2016. “They are trying to justify not being prepared for a council meeting by throwing me under the bus,” he said. “The chamber is not in a good place right now. I don’t know why. It’s not like I left last week. They need to look at themselves and not the former general manager.” LeVatte added that “this is the first I’m hearing about it,” he said. “Around a board table was the place to discuss this, and not in open council.” Had he stayed on at the chamber, “I was quite prepared to go to council and ask for $15,000,” he said, in line with current chamber thinking, to ask for $15,000 from town council during the 2017 budget process. About $5,000 of that money would have gone to general operating expenses, such as hiring a part time staffer for a day a week to cover the phones and walk-in inquiries while he was away at meetings. He said that the chamber is “important to the community,” and added that, “I wish the chamber all the best. I enjoyed my time there.”
Perth’s 200th costs will likely be ‘in the black’ Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Perth’s 200th anniversary year is not yet over, but already organizers are looking back at a job well done. The biggest matinee events were taken care of this past summer, and while there is still some celebrating to do before New Year’s Eve, “the buzz throughout town was great,” said Cathy James, the coordinator of the 200th anniversary. Speaking during Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 13, she said that the events had had a “longterm economic impact.” She added that there would be a volunteer appreciation brunch on Sunday, Oct. 2, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., as a way of “expressing our gratitude to everyone who made the events happen.” And there’s even more fun in store, with a “progressive dinner party,” planned for Nov. 5. There are 70 spots still available. James said she is also hoping to continue to tap into the ongoing online support from the 2,500 people who have “liked” the 200th anniversary committee’s Facebook page, and possibly push them over to Perth Tourism’s Facebook page. Fiscally, there is also reason to celebrate. “It looks very positive,” said Shannon Baillon, the director of community services. “We will be in the black. Not hugely in the black.” While not all of the invoices are in to her office yet, “the majority of them,” are. Deputy Mayor John Gemmell said that, in talking with Bob Band, deputy provost of Perth and Kinross council in Scotland this past summer. “He was telling me that they could learn something from us,” Gemmell said. “Well done.” Mayor John Fenik said that “it’s all the side stuff that really took off,” like the new stone bridge at the old swimming hole on Mill Street. “It’s become a part of Perth that will live on for years.” Coun. Judy Brown agreed that the 200th celebrations have “been a huge success,” even though “it
Fillipoff drugs case in court Sept. 26 Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
The drugs charges against Shelley Fillipoff, 58, will again be before the Perth court later this month. Fillipoff, a Lanark Highlands Township resident who faces several drug-related charges,
will have her case spoken to in the Perth court on Sept. 26 at 9 a.m. in courtroom one. Her case was last spoken to on Monday, Sept. 12 at the Smiths Falls court. She was arrested on Thursday, March 3, and faces five charges, which have not been proven in court,
which include: adult laundering of the proceeds of crime.; adult possession of a Schedule I substance for the purpose of trafficking – cocaine; adult possession of a Schedule II substance – Cannabis Marijuana – over 30 grams.; adult unauthorized possession of
a prohibited or restricted firearm.; adult unauthorized possession of a firearm. Charges haven’t been proven in court. Fillipoff is best known in the area for her ongoing search for her missing daughter Emma, who was last seen alive in B.C. in 2012.

was completely unknown territory.” In her role representing council at the Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA), she added that “it’s nice that the merchants were positively affected” by the events downtown. “I’d also like to throw my praise on the pile,” said Coun. Riq Turner. He commended the activities, and wondered if the Fire and Ice Festival, held this past February, could be continued on as an ongoing annual event to break up the winter months. “We could still carry it on,” said Baillon. “My guess is it wouldn’t be as extravagant as last year,” but it could be looked at during the 2017 budget process. “In hindsight, it really went off well,” said Coun. Jim Boldt, who chaired the meeting. But he admitted to a little hesitancy when he first heard one of the bigger, bolder ideas of this past summer – the Blue Rodeo concert at the fairgrounds during the Homecoming Weekend in July. “When the mayor asked for $100,000 for a band, I damn near fell off my chair,” said Boldt. But more than 4,300 people crowded in for the show, and it proved to be one of the many highlights of the summer. James commended the work done by Baillon’s predecessor, Shellee Evans, and by former councillor Beth Peterkin. “To work on a project in a town I grew up in was a lot of fun,” said James, who started out her contract just four days before her second child was born.

Paula Moffat, the new vice principal at St. John Catholic Elementary School, did not have far to go from her previous appointment. She did not even have to change saints within the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, moving over from St. John Catholic High School. Most of her career has been spent either teaching or helping lead high schools, but, coming to the world of younger people is not that daunting a prospect for her. “Learning the routines is a big deal,� she said during an interview at her office, which is actually separate from the regular office, just off of the main entrance to the school. Her office is upstairs, with an office window view out onto Wilson Street East, and with a dead-on view right down the middle of Craig Street. “Their routines are really critical.� Not that she has not had to adapt her instructions or expectations. “A high school student will just get on the bus and go,� she said. During this, her third day on the job, she had to physically help a junior kindergarten student off of the bus. “A lot of it is being very clear and explicit,� she said, at either level of schooling. Unlike in high school, where students buddy up in an extracurricular way, elementary students are assigned classmates to buddy up with for tasks like walking down the hallway. Just like in high school though, feelings are a big part of the picture, and, even three days in “I’m seeing friendships and feelings.� Some of those feelings are not positive though – she has already had to help break up some fights. In high school, after preliminary introductions, “you just step into the lesson,� whereas in elementary school, “they need to be in a good place.� One of her biggest challenges this year will be balancing some unique demands. This past Monday, Sept. 12, about four students arrived on a fivemonth exchange from China. “That’s big,� she said. The town’s growing Syrian refugee community, meanwhile, sends several of its children to her school.

Paula Moffat, the new vice principal at St. John Catholic elementary school, stands in her office on Sept. 8. dergarten. There is already enough going on for her at school, so “I don’t need to come in and fix anything. It’s a wonderful school. I just felt so welcomed.� Moffat lives in Carleton Place but was born in Oshawa, Ont., east of Toronto. “I always knew, as a young person, that my living would be to do with reading,� she said, calling herself a “voracious reader. “That has added so much to my life.� She took her undergraduate studies at Queen’s University in Kingston, where she studied English and drama. She stayed at Queen’s to take her Bachelor of Education, and then moved on to the University of Ottawa for her Masters of Education. She began teaching in Pickering, near Oshawa, in 1994, at St. Mary Catholic Secondary School, where she taught until she married a man she met at Queen’s. Her husband works in the technology sector and got a job in Kanata, which necessitated a move for her to Carleton Place and a job teaching English and drama at Saint John Catholic High School (SJCHS). Dur-
ing her early years in Lanark County, she taught alongside the likes of John McKenty, a well-known community member in Perth, and the woman who would later become her boss at St. John elementary, Deanne Strong. Moffat’s son Andrew was born in 2000, around the same time she moved to Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, where she taught English and special education. She stayed there until 2004, whereupon she took up special duties at the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s board office, working as a curriculum assistant four years, working on literacy and support for teachers with adolescent literacy. She moved again, this time as the vice principal at St. Michael Catholic High School in Kemptville, for two years, before returning to Perth as the vice principal at SJCHS for three years. “Most of my teaching career has been in Perth,� she said. “I try to change every four years or so,� she said with a laugh.

Connected to your community
So many choices
’ve come to realize I’m not a huge fan of “adulting.” (Right now this column could go one of two ways. I could launch into a piece about new words in the dictionary or I could talk about why being a grown up sometimes stinks. Hm. I’m going to go with option two with a pinch of option one.) “Adulting” is actually a word – or is becoming a word. Spell Check wants to change it to “adulating,” which means to praise excessively, but that’s not where we’re going here. I haven’t done a thorough canvass of the world’s dictionaries, but I did learn that “adulting” can be found in more than just the ever-popular “Urban Dictionary,” which often seems to be the cradle for the newest lingo. Merriam-Webster has picked it up. Just when you thought “adult” was only a noun, I’m here to tell you it’s now a verb, too. “To ‘adult’ is to behave like an adult, specifically to do the things – often mundane – that an adult is expected to do. It’s also common as a gerund – that is, in the form ‘adulting’ as a noun, as in ‘Adulting is hard’ or “I’m not very good at adulting.’” Yep. Those things. So now that we’ve cleared up the definition of “adulting” (which I would summarize as “being a grown up”), we can leave the debates about whether it is a good word and whether this is all just whiney millennial baloney to another time. (By the way, I am not technically a Millennial, I’m a Generation Xer. I’m not really sure what that makes me, but I think it means I was lucky to survive childhood because I sometimes drank water straight from a hose and played in swamps without wearing protective gear.) I do remember that I, and most of the kids I hung around, was always in a hurry to grow up. It always seemed like the Next Best Thing was just out of reach: Too young to stay up past a certain time or watch a certain show or drive a car or drink beer or whatever. And then, suddenly, you hit a stage when you are old enough to do all of those things. Cool! And that’s when you realize – I mean really realize – that all of those magic beans come with responsibility. Driving a car usually means purchasing one. Not to mention the car insurance. And there are a whole

bunch of other bills and responsibilities. If I don’t clean the house for six months, no one is going to come along and ground me for it, but there will be consequences and they will be really gross. I think one of the ickiest parts of adulting has been the “deciding of things.” Some days I have a hard time choosing what colour of pants to wear never mind the responsibility of deciding things that could alter the course of a family member’s future – such as a child or an elderly person. That’s not even getting into the decisions and responsibilities that come with jobs. Yes, adults need jobs so they can buy the aforementioned car insurance and other stuff, such as cleaning supplies -- should they (wisely) choose to clean their homes. So I’ve been thinking about the irritating components of adulting as my appendages seize up and I hobble around the house and clean things and decide stuff. Possibly I just need a vacation. Definitely I need to suck it up. Probably I need to realize that the people who seem to be really good at adulting may just be faking it. Or maybe those people really ARE good at it, but that’s okay, too. Everyone is good at something and adulting role models are not a bad thing to have around. There are definitely some perks to being an adult. Sometimes it is fun to make decisions – especially about things like beaches and dessert and what colour of car you would like. As long as you don’t think too much about the consequences, it’s super good. (Is there a fee at that beach? Did we pack the protective gear? How much fat is in that dessert? Wait – it costs HOW much? Will I have to share this dessert? The silver car is how many thousands of dollars more than the black one? Do black cars really look better in the shade?) Yep. I just whined for a whole column about being an adult. Probably I need a nap. Or a free dessert.

Rashomon effect bedevils chamber saga
N
ever trust a smiling reporter. That advice came from former New York Mayor Ed Koch (1978-1989), who knew a thing or two about adversarial relations between politicians and the press. That quote ran through my mind this past Monday morning as I sat waiting in a boardroom for an interview. I looked out the window at the foggy, muggy morning, waiting to see if John LeVatte was in. Mondays are hard enough, I know. And LeVatte’s day was about to get a little more rain in it. But as I got out my notebook, I was not smiling. Some serious allegations have been made against LeVatte’s time in office as the general manager of the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce, and I had shown up, unannounced, at his office, to get his
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says side of the story (in the journalism business, this is called an “ambush.”) The slow drip of insinuations has been going on since August, when the chamber board approached Perth town council about getting an emergency $10,000 to help it see out the year, lest it end up with a huge deficit (even with the money, it would still be looking at a deficit of more than $1,000.) It turned out that LeVatte was out of the office that morning, but he did phone me later that day. A former reporter himself, he has worked as a reporter for the Smiths Falls Record

News in the past. I can only imagine that it must have been a surreal moment for him to be on the other side of the conversation, having to defend his time in office. Journalists always advise each other, going back to the time of Watergate and beyond, to follow the money. But in this little domestic drama in small town Ontario, the money almost seems inconsequential, even though it still ended up costing Perth taxpayers $5,000 in emergency funding – half of what the chamber originally asked for. The week before, I had interviewed LeVatte’s replacement as chamber general manager, Amber Hall. I find both her and LeVatte admirable people, who certainly bring their own strengths, and unique outlooks, to the table.

What’s happening on Rogers Road? If you’ve driven past the South end of Rogers Road lately, you’ve likely spotted the new construction happening in front of the former Brown Shoe building. It turns out, Perth Physiotherapy is expanding its offerings, and they’re building a 4,400-square-foot facility to accommodate all that they want to provide to the community. Calling it a multidisciplinary centre, owner Catherine Ball told me they’re going to have the professional clinic – which includes physiotherapy and massage therapy – as well as a fitness studio, which will host spin classes, TRX suspension training, pilates, yoga, boot camps and personal training. They’ll also be hosting OHIP-funded seniors’ exercise programs such as Fall Prevention, Gentle Fit and special classes for those diagnosed with Parkinson’s or have suffered from a stroke. It sounds as though the already busy clinic will do well to house everything under one roof, which is slated to open March 1, 2017. All the best to them!

What I find so baffling is how there can be such a wide divergence on what actually did or did not happen. Was membership down by 80 members under his watch or not? Did the chamber board receive the passwords and information for the web site and Facebook page or not? Were the membership lists up to date or not? People still use the term “Rashomon effect,” based on the 1950 movie directed by Akira Kurosawa, as shorthand to describe a situation where several people, seeing the same event, come away with vastly different views or interpretations or takes. In a 2002 review, film critic Roger Ebert cited from Kurosawa’s own autobiography, Something Like An Autobiography (1981). Three assistants had come to Kurosawa’s office one day before filming on Rashomon began because they did not understand the story. Kurosawa explained it as best he could. “Two of the assistants are satisfied with his explanation, but the third leaves looking puzzled,” wrote Ebert. “What he doesn’t understand is that while there is an explanation of the film’s four eyewitness accounts of a murder, there is not a solution.” This week, I’ve felt like the third guy in that story. I’ve been at press conferences and media events where competing newspapers, radio and TV stations have also been in attendance. After I got back to the newsroom and filed my own story, I would give

a cursory look at what ever else had been written or broadcast – and am still sometimes shocked at just how divergent the angles or interpretations of my fellow journalists are at the same event. But even at that, there is some core basis of agreed-upon facts. That seems to be missing here, with the exception of, funnily enough, the money. LeVatte seems willing to take the board at its word that the $10,000 spent on the events last year, ended up going over budget by $3,000. He goes further to say that, had he stayed on as the chamber’s general manager, he would have asked for $15,000 for the chamber in the 2017 budget, just as the chamber appears set to do. At the end of the call on Monday, I could tell LeVatte was not a happy man. Who would be? He took “great exception,” to the insinuation made at council that his time in office had been a “mess.” The story got more complex. And I took solace that he had had his chance to speak, to defend himself. But, just as a human being, I am baffled how three professional people – Hall, LeVatte, and Coun. Riq Turner, council’s representative to the chamber – could all be on such different pages of this story. Perth’s historic Inge-Va House, where the chamber has its headquarters, may not look anything like Kyoto’s Rashomon Gate, where the film begins, but this much is clear – they are both old places haunted by the past, where there is no clear idea about what really happened.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Harvest your apples DEAR EDITOR:
It is harvest time and we are reaping the fruits of our labour in our gardens and from nature herself. I have noticed an abundance of apple trees in and around Perth which are just waiting to share their bounty. If you have an apple tree and/or other fruit trees or bushes that you wish to share with the community, or know of nearby trees displaying their fare and are available for harvesting, please let The Table, at the Perth Community Food Centre, know. They are grateful for any donations and deliveries. If you need help with harvest-
ing and pick up, they will arrange for a gleaning team to come out. I am told that the centre does not accept bruised, wormy or ground falls. Please call Ramsey Hart at (613)-267-6428, extension 8, or email him at ramsey@thetablecfc.org to make arrangements and know that you will be helping feed community members through the food bank, or in meals at the centre or for use in one of their many cooking programs.

Perth’s PTSD clinic to welcome second cohort, readies for first data results Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
A hundred years ago, it was called ‘shellshock.’ For thousands of soldiers, on both sides, who came back from the front lines during the First World War, the horrors they saw – like those at the Battle of the Somme whose centenary we mark this year – stayed with them forever. Some came home wounded externally: mangled or missing limbs, blindness, deafness. Still many more were ‘shell-shocked.’ Now, a century later, whether it is soldiers home from Afghanistan, or those who will come home from Iraq, or Canada’s countless post-war peacekeeping missions, it’s called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – but the pain is still the same. And for Maj. Gen. Clive Addy (retired), a peacekeeping mission, as titles go, may have been a bit of a misnomer. “A lot of those missions, there was no peace,” said Addy, who served as the Colonel-Commandant of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, and was a member of the Royal Canadian Dragoons. He recalled that, during his time in leadership, there were concerns about one of his soldiers. He was told, “Clive, talk to him, not as a C.O. (commanding officer) but as a friend. Talk him and ask what’s going on. I did as he told me.” Addy did what he could under trying circumstances. But now that soldier coming home would have more than just a quick chat with Addy sitting on the side of his army bunk. He would have a more in depth program that would be with his comrades. “Very, powerful,” said Joannou of Addy’s story, as she came to the end of her own presentation on PTSD at the Perth Probus Club’s monthly meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion hall on Wednesday, Sept. 7. “That’s a wonderful story to tell.” Joannou had her first intake of PTSD sufferers arrive this past May at Tay River Reflections and on Sunday, Oct. 2, a second cohort of PTSD sufferers – this time, a team of females – will descend on the facility for a five and a half days of intense inner work. “I am extremely passionate about this topic,” she said. Since she was young, she has “always (been) interested in the human condition.” Since becoming a doctor, “I have seen what PTSD can do to people. I have seen it up close and personal. I have had some difficult things I’ve had to deal with myself.” About two years ago, she came across an American program, Save A Warrior, out of California. The program has seen more than 300 soldiers go through its doors, with encouraging results. For these men and women, “they have stepped into the role of the hero, the warrior,” she said. But by admitting that they may be feeling weak, they may also feel that they are letting down the very people they had sworn to protect. “There is still quite a culture of stigma,” she said. There are also practical considerations at play, too. “Admitting you had a problem has amounted to professional suicide for some people.” So how is her program different from others? It is a concept she likes to call, “moral injury.” “That’s what sets this program apart,” she said. It is when someone does something they should not have, or when they did not do what
they should have, and are haunted by it. The peacekeeper constrained by protocol who could not intervene when he saw an egregious wrong. A soldier following orders. “I really like working with first responders,” said Joannou, calling them energetic, well-intentioned people who “really put their heart and soul out there…(who) put themselves in harm’s way for the benefit of others.” Throughout the program, “we reignite their passion to serve. They want to continue to help, to serve… In the words of Gandhi, ‘You find yourself by losing yourself in service to others.’” The first cohort stayed in Perth from May 8 to 13, with 13 male participants – six military, and seven police officers. “It was really a transformative experience,” she said. The community also really rallied around the men, with businesses donating trailers, restaurants donating meals, and Town and Country Chrysler loaning three vans to ferry the men around. There was even a Yuk Yuks comedy night at the Gallipeau Centre in Smiths Falls to raise cash for the men’s stay. In time, the cohort received a True Patriot Love grant, and they are hopeful to receive another that they have applied for. “We would love to get consistent funding,” she said. Her immediate funding problem right now is simply that her program is so new. “To be able to apply for funding, you have to demonstrate that the program is of value,” she said. “The politicians who control the purse strings are accountable to the taxpayers… (they have to make sure) you’re getting a good bang for your buck.” That’s where Dr. Sarah Dentry-Travis comes in. Not only is she a military veteran, she is also a post-doctoral fellow at the Human Performance Laboratory, School of Medical Rehabilitation, Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba (she is also a visiting scholar at Queen’s University’s Canadian Institute for Military and Veteran Health Research, who, in April 2014, took part in a True Patriot Love Expedition to the North Pole.) Joannou will be working with Dentry-Travis on working on the data collected from the May and October cohorts, to present at a conference in Vancouver in November, but, already, “preliminary results are quite encouraging.” But collecting data from a group of people who may be suicidal is fraught with variables not found in other research test groups. “Targeting a group that is suicidal can be volatile at times…the stakes are very high,” she said. And the way her program is set up, “it challenges the traditional doctor/patient boundaries. You have to be right down in the hole there with them.” The Canadian program has been “tweaked” from the original American template to adjust for Canadian content and to follow different Canadian health guidelines than her American colleagues. “There are some cultural differences,” she said. “You don’t have to look too far in the media to see that.” There was a lighter side to bringing Americans to visit a small town in Canada. “People from Los Angeles were fascinated with our Canadian geese,” she said. “We tried to convince them to take some home!” she said with a laugh. For her, the “secret ingredient,” has to be “bringing people together in a cohort. It is very

similar to basic training or the police academy. The bonds that are formed there are deep. Peer support is so important. It is something that needs to be brought into mental health in Canada.” The Perth program uses not only music and art therapy, but also equine therapy too. She has heard back from previous participants that “that day (with the horses) actually changed their life. Horses are very intuitive animals… they are herd animals who do not necessarily trust anyone.” While working on your inner self can be scary, Joannou said she wants to bring out real fear – in a safe way – to help people connect with the real feelings that they have been supressing for so long. By using high ropes, and tapping into a real fear of heights, it reintroduces “appropriate fear” to the participants. “Meditation is something that I think is not taught well. It is hard to sell,” she said. “Meditation is not someone sitting cross-legged on a mat.” Meditation is also, for her, more than just finding that elusive ‘centre’ advocates search for. For her, there is an often-missing spiritual dimension to meditation that she feels pays dividends, “to reach out and connect with the power that tells you that the world is unfolding as it should,” she said, alluding to the famous “Desiderata” poem. “The way to true healing is by connecting to something greater than yourself,” she said. Historically, people found community in other places – like a church, or tribe, trying to connect to a psychic unity. Today, “you can have 1,000 friends on Facebook, but no true friends.” While she admits that bringing spiritual elements into medical practice is seen as “a bit of a no-no,” by some professionals, “ I believe we can do it sensitively.” While some readers may be familiar with transcendental meditation or mindfulness meditation, she uses what is called “open focus” meditation, which she admits has not been studied as much as the other two, but can be helpful. Back home, the families are seeing good outcomes, too. “It looks like dad’s eyes are live,” was the response of one child when their father returned from Perth. A wife thanked her for “giving my husband back.” “The families do much better when the person does better.” And by coming to Perth, “it gives everybody a bit of a break.” During their stay, the participants do a “values evaluation,” of things that are important to them, and “things they need to let go of.” Not surprisingly, friends and family top the lists. But once they come back from Perth, Joannou warned participants, “Your life will not get better when you get
back (home).” In fact, “sometimes it gets worse. People may feel they can dump more on you now, because you can take it.” During the question and answer session, she stressed that “medication is very important,” to administer to someone with serious mental health issues – at least, initially. But she faces the bias that “everybody wants us to prescribe drugs (and then) get on with it,” even though “medication has a role.” “(There is) a school of thought that PTSD is primarily a sleep disorder,” she said. One thing that is not in doubt is that when it comes to the development of PTSD, time is of the essence. “We need to intervene right away.” If the patient is made to wait a month or more for help, the condition may be well en-
trenched. Typical psychotherapies used now include cognitive processing therapy and prolonged exposure therapy where people talk about their trauma over and over again. For Joannou, she’s interested not only in where stories begin, but how they are processed and where they can go from here. “We really don’t feel that you heal wounds by picking reopening them.” One of the themes explored during the program is that of the hero’s journey as described by the mythologist, Joseph Campbell. She describes it as “an average guy in very normal surroundings. He gets a call. A call to action.” Sometimes they do not accept at first. But something drives them to, eventually, answer the call. “They meet villains.
There are trials and tribulations. They meet masters and elders,” who help show them the way. There are also “the dark nights of the soul.” (She said this can be seen in stories from Homer’s Odyssey to the Star Wars movies.) But she also quoted Sir Winston Churchill, who was known to have suffered bouts of depression, who brought his country through the Battle of Britain, when his island nation stood on the brink of annihilation, once said: “When you are going through hell, you keep going.” The program in Perth creates a safe container where people can heal with the help of their comrades. There is a “psychic unity of mankind. And that’s where the healing happens.”

New clinic offers private ADHD, autism services for children, families Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
You cannot put a price on caring for your child with autism or ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) – nor can you put an age on when they should be getting treatment. The provincial Liberal government announced this past spring that children aged five and older would no longer be eligible for intensive treatment, and would be taking them off of waiting lists that they had been on for years, according to the Toronto Star. However, the newspaper reported that this past June, that “all kids with autism diagnosis can now count on the treatment whey they need it, regardless of age, Children and Youth Services Minister Michael Coteau said at Queen’s Park.” For Amanda Neadow, whose two sons, Jason and Dawson, have been diagnosed with ADHD, “in my opinion, I find it’s difficult to put an age on it. It’s not the most effective approach to have,” she said during an interview on the second day of operations for her new clinic, the JDN Centre for Children at the Elliot Street Medical Clinic in Perth, on Wednesday, Sept. 7. So much can depend on when a child is diagnosed and where they fall on the spectrum. JDN is a play on her sons’ names - Jason and Dawson Neadow. “It’s unfortunate that’s what it’s come to,” she said, where early detection is important. (The centre will be hosting a welcome barbecue at 12 Elliot St., this Saturday, Sept. 10, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. where visitors can also get a tour of the clinic. There will also be fidget toy giveaways, and face painting). The clinic has been a long-time dream of Neadow’s since she hopes it will be a place for parents and children to get the answers that she had to find on her own when her own family began their journey some time ago. “April is when we received word that we would get funding through the Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (VHCFDC),” she recalled in her new, still slightly Spartan office, with two paintings of children on the wall and a child’s colourful mat on the floor as the only indication, for now, this is a room for children. “We’re ready to move forward.” As of mid-September the clinic will have two clients, and they anticipate signing up five more by December, “if not Thanksgiving,” she said. “Filling up that quickly does not mean we won’t be able to take on new clients,” she stressed. The centre will see children from junior kindergarten to Grade 8, and she is glad that it will mean that some parents will not have to drive all the way to Ottawa for treatment, like she had to for her children. She has reduced her full-time job to part-time status, and “the centre is my focus,” where she serves as the administrator. A senior therapist and
psychotherapist have been hired on part-time, as needed, while an instructional has been hired on full-time. In her position, she will be handling the initial consultations, and parent counselling, where “I am able to provide some personal insight into it.” While the Wynne government is planning to roll out a new autism program next year, according to the Star, with payments being made to children coming off of the wait-lists, Neadow’s program falls within the private sector. “Our services are all fee-for-service,” she said. “They are not covered by OHIP.” For families who have access to private insurance, “we are able to help them recoup the costs through their psychology benefits,” she said, which could be as much as 25 per cent. The clinic’s first days have been “extremely busy,” she said, with “lots of referrals.” Her first day, Sept. 6, was one of “mixed emotions,” she said. She was excited that her children were back at The Stewart School – and scared for them too. Meanwhile, at the clinic, she too was both nervous and excited as well. This was really happening. She has found that, for her sons, ABA therapy (applied behavioural analysis) has been very helpful, and it is something she hopes will be able to help children with ADHD or autism. It teaches children to “stop, think and identify. It is very functional,” and a good way to change behaviour. The clinic will also have a social skills development group, which will foster positive relationships, as well as the aforementioned parent counselling, where parents can learn “how they, at home, can help their children be successful.” She said she knows how stressful dealing with a child with one of these issues can be, but she wants to help parents start “working with your child, instead of feeling you are working against them.” She stressed that progress is marked differently for each child but that her clinic will be collecting a lot of data for analysis. “Data is constantly being collected on the child,” she said. “If we are not seeing the expected result or the result we wanted…you can make changes when and where needed.” There are even different milestones to measure between ADHD and autism – which, within themselves, have a “spectrum” of intensity. For a child with autism, a milestone can be, for example, putting their pants on for the first time, while a child with ADHD can achieve a milestone when he or she does not have a “meltdown” when they lose a board game, for example. There also needs to be constant communication between the child’s parents, their school, and medical team. But she made sure to mention that she would only reach out to a child’s school with the consent of the parents, to make sure that any helpers for the child at their school is reading

The clinic offers private help for youngsters with autism and ADHD. off of the same page, so to speak, to let them know “how where, “as a family, we received a lot of help there.” Even we work that program here.” The ABA therapy, which is with the best of intentions from the medical and school usually one-on-one, “needs to be modified for school,” community, “you are your child’s advocate.” she said. She commended area schools for being so “accepting” of children with ADHD, especially The Stewart School,

McLEAN Sept. 20 was always a special day to the McLean family but this year it marks 2 months since we said goodbye to Ron at the Lombard Glen Golf & Country Club. The overwhelming friendship, love and support was truly amazing, from the owners and staff at the L.G.G.&C.C. who went above and beyond in providing a wonderful day, to the 200+ people who turned out to share a story, a Pepsi or one of Ron’s jokes (apparently some people actually found his jokes funny!) the love surrounded us. There are not enough thank yous or hugs to show how much your support has meant to us. From T.J. who continues to be my rock and shoulder to cry on, to our family, to friends and to friends who are like family, and to the shopkeeper who took time today to tell me “Your husband was such a kind man”... TO ALL OF YOU... your donations, support, visits, hugs and expressions of sympathy, confirmed the kind, generous man we knew as our husband, father and grampa.

O’NEILL
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Edrick O’Neill on Sunday, September 11, 2016. Born on July 8, 1940 in Gaspé, Québec. Devoted husband of 54 years to his forever love, Sharon. Father of Kelly (Paul), Shawn (Kathy), Robyn (Mark) and grandfather of Lindsay, Courtney, Matthew, Daniel and Maeve. Ed loved fishing, skiing, golfing, playing guitar, woodworking, bird watching and helping his kids with home projects and repairs. He was an avid volunteer with the Kinsmen Club for 20 years, building with Habitat for Humanity, selling poppies for the Legion, construction with the rebuilding of the United Church and most recently, the Christmas Kettles campaign with the Salvation Army. There was never a time he wasn’t helping others. Ed never wanted to be centre stage, but always in the supporting cast helping others where needed. Many people came and went through the old A&P grocery store both customers and employees. Few left without being touched by how he treated them. He chose to invest heavily in family and people, caring little for the material things of this world. Strong and silent until the very end, without complaint, for what good could come from that. To celebrate Ed’s life, a service will be held on Saturday, September 24th at 10 am, at the Trinity United Church in Smiths Falls. In lieu of charitable donations, the family asks that you perform a random act of kindness in his memory. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Lannin Funeral Home, Smiths Falls.

Survived by husband Dennis and children Peter and Paul; their wives Miranda and Maryse; and grandchildren Felicity, Cameron, Stella, Patrick and Liam. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Muriel and dear cousins Pam and Ken. She was a loving aunt to Donna, David, Erin, Steven, Chris, Leslie, Mike, Tom, Tim, Cathy, and Iris; and lifelong friend of Margo, Jane, Patrice, Rob, Rosemary, and many others she counted herself privileged to know. She was a caring and fierce advocate for all living things. Selfless almost to a fault she would never hesitate to give of herself if it meant she thought she could make someone’s, or something’s lot in life just a little bit better. Always there for each other - best friends for fifty years – she was Dennis’ life, and he was hers. Tonia was a loving mother and grandmother who relished every moment with her kids and grandkids, making every one feel special, and loved. Quirky, fun, and joyous of spirit she could turn any occasion - momentous or mundane - into a unique experience to look forward to. Passionate, with a love of the written word, she loved a good story about good people doing good things, or calling attention to injustices that needed correcting. She lived by and acted on her conviction. A loyal friend, she was kind and unassuming. She embodied the best of what we can be. She will be sorely missed. Friends are invited to celebrate her life at the Stone Cellar (71 Gore St E, Perth, ON) on Saturday September 24th, from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. In remembrance, contributions can be made to an animal welfare charity of your choice.

He put His arms around you and Lifted you to res,t God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never Get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

Keegan Carr: Up-and-coming Perth singer proves she’s the one Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
She’s the one – the one to watch this fall. Perth singer Keegan Carr, 16, who is only in Grade 11 at St. John Catholic High School, has already had a summer unlike most of her peers, appearing at Ottawa Bluesfest. She took part in the “She’s The One” singing competition, where she was picked as one of eight national finalists. She took to the stage on July 9, but local audiences have been seeing her on stage more recently than that – and can do so again on Sunday, Oct. 2, when she performs at the Festival of Small Halls at the ABC Hall in Bolingbroke, Tay Valley Township, opening for the Devon Cuddy Band. “That was quite unexpected,” she said of her performance at Bluesfest. “It was amazing.” Earlier this year, she was part of the musical adaptation of the Dolly Parton movie 9 to 5, as a dancer in the ensemble, and she will be performing in the Orpheus Musical Theatre Society in The Addams Family musical this coming Nov. 18 to
27 at the Centrepointe Theatre in Ottawa. She always knew she wanted to sing on stage, “ever since I started singing.” “I didn’t think that I would be doing anything performance-wise (like singing) my own songs…I always knew I wanted to take a creative route,” she said, during an interview at a local coffee shop on Sept. 14. “I knew I wanted to do some musicals,” which she started doing when she was 12. While she was a student at St. John Catholic Elementary School, she was also a student at what was then the Perth Academy for Musical Theatre. Right out of the gate, she scored the role of Mary Magdalene in Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Jesus Christ Superstar. “I was the youngest in my camp,” she said, who landed one of the biggest female roles in the biblical story of Jesus Christ, second only to the Virgin Mary. It was during this time that she went with her family to New York City, where she saw the play Wicked on Broadway, which she said really opened her eyes. That production is where Idina Menzel got her big break,
leading her to become the voice that would sing “Let It Go,” the iconic song from Disney’s Frozen. However, much as she wanted to see Menzel, by the time she had arrived in the Empire State, Menzel had moved on from the musical. Back home, she continued her run as Mary Magdalene, when who else but Jesus’ grandmother – well, the grandmother of the actor playing Jesus – took notice of her and asked her to try out for a local production of the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. “It was more professional,” she said of her ascension in local theatre. In 2014, she was playing Eponine in Les Miserables, after which she took on other roles like the baker’s wife in Into the Woods, and Maureen in the musical Rent. She is a multiple threat, acting, singing, dancing, writing songs and playing the guitar, which she took up at age 7. After a year of practising, her mother encouraged her to start writing her own songs. “They were pretty bad,” she said of her first efforts. “A seven-year-old trying to write songs….(But) I started getting better and better.”
She got to perform two songs at Bluesfest, one of which was about her late grandfather, who died last year. “It’s a very special song I wrote,” she said. “I write about what I like. I write about what I know.” Her musical influences include Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra, even though the music she writes is more “pop-driven.” Amongst bands she admires she counts The Beatles and Fleetwood Mac. She first became interested in the works of the 1950s jazz singers through the singing of the late, troubled singer Amy Winehouse. With all of this experience behind her, the next question is – when is she heading off to Hollywood? On this, she demurs. “The music industry is really hard to get into,” she said. “I’d like to try it and see what happens.” She would like to make a stab at it, “if the odds are in my favour.” She said she wants to get “a grounded education first,” and “I’m really interested in criminal law,” likely studying at Queen’s University. In the meantime, she is keeping busy juggling school work
Desmond Devoy/Metroland
Keegan Carr adjusts her hair in the wind as she sits on the steps of St. John, her old elementary school on Sept. 14. and five-day-a-week rehearsals in Ottawa. “I usually do my homework on the car rides to Ottawa,” she said. “I try my best to balance it as best I can.” Her mother drives her into Ottawa, and “she’s been a trooper,” throughout this time. Unlike fellow Canadian singer Justin Bieber, also from a small town in Ontario, who found fame after producers discovered his music videos on YouTube, Carr only does covers of songs and uploads them to SoundCloud, an audio file sharing site.
“I don’t do my own stuff, because of copyright,” she said. (To apply for the Bluesfest contest, she had to upload a video to YouTube and send the link onwards.) For those videos, she performed “Earned It” by fellow Canadian The Weeknd, and Ariana Grande’s “Dangerous Woman.” “I thought they had similar styles, similar chord progressions,” said Carr. Apart from her music, whenever she has time, she likes to play basketball and volleyball in her off time. She also enjoys drawing and writing.

Perth Blue Wings play best game of the season to shut down Athens Aeros Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
It was all blue Friday night at home as the Perth Blue Wings shut out the Athens Aeros in CCHL2 action. With attendance at 300 strong, the Blue Wings dominated the Aeros from start to finish. Coach Michael McLean said it was the best full team effort he’s had so far this season. “It was a total team effort with everyone contributing to the win over a strong Athens Aeros hockey club,” he said. “It all started in the net with an excellent game from Johnathon Peacock. He was not busy but was steady and solid when called upon. Our defense played well and got better as the game went on.” In the first, Adam Church scored shorthanded from Mack Miller at 12:18, and that was all the needed to win, but they went on to score two more in the second and once again in the third for the victory. Cameron Scissons and Miller scored in the second with help from Nicholas Vala, Marc-Andre LeBlanc and Mark Vanderzyde. In the third, Vala had one of his own with assists from Jake McArthur and Noah Fisher. Perth outshot their opponents 5121 and had four minor penalties. Athens was hit with 16 minutes on four infractions. Peacock was solid in nets to earn his shutout with 21 saves. McLean said he thought Leboeuf and Vanderzyde “did a fantastic job shutting down Athens top line of Bryan Fancy and Anthony Scattolon.” Once again, the Blue Wings rolled with four lines and “our penalty killing was perfect. No power play goals against. We took four penalties which
Laurie Weir/Metroland
The Perth Blue Wings celebrate Mack Miller’s second-period goal with help from Marc-Andre LeBlanc, Mark Vanderzyde, as the team recorded a 4-0 shutout over the Athens Aeros on Sept. 16. I did not like - but I though three of the four calls where soft.” McLean said he liked what he received from Vala, Cameron Scisson’s and Noah Fisher, who “forechecked with speed and intensity and were rewarded for their efforts with two goals. “I also liked the forechecking of the Marc-Andre LeBlanc, Adam Church
and Mack Miller line. They got pucks deep into the Athens end and dominated their defenseman all night.” The Ryan Shaw, Nathan McKechnie, Desmond Blake line had their best game of the year, said McLean. Coming up this weekend, McLean said the team needs to win 75 shifts, get 50-plus shots and rebounds and
“stay out of the penalty box” if they have a chance of winning against Renfrew Friday night at 7:30 p.m. in their only game of the week. Perth sits in second place of the Robinson division with two games in hand over the Arnprior Packers. In some fun team-building excersises, the Blue Wings held practice on

Sunday at TD Place in Ottawa. “It’s always fun to go to the rink where the 67’s play,” McLean said. Their big overnight road trip to Toronto will take place on Monday, Sept. 26, when the busload of Blue Wings will take in a Blue Jays game against the Yankees. The team will practice at St. Michael’s College arena.

She was sitting at 7-under for the tournament, after rounds of 69-71-67-70, which was 14 back of the winner, In Gee Chung of South Korea who claimed the championship becoming just the second player in the history of the LPGA Tour to capture her first two victories at major championships, joining fellow countrywoman Se Ri Pak as the only other to accomplish the feat. Chun won the 2015 U.S. Women’s Open as a non-member, which earned her membership to the Tour for 2016 and her win this week in France is her first as a member. For Henderson, who was aiming for a minus-10 over the weekend, she said the course played tough. “… a few shots back from where I wanted, but it palyed really difficult this week,” she told media following Sunday’s round. “The conditions were really tough with the winds a little bit… and the rain and the wet seasons. You really had to be careful, and this is a hard golf course to begin with.” But she said she was happy to see her name on the leaderboard again, which was “really, a cool feeling,” as she prepares for the Asia Swing. This was Henderson’s third top-10 finish in a major championship this year, including her first

win at the KPMG Women’s PGA. She’s had 12 top 10 finishes this year, with two championships. When asked what it meant to her in her first INSIDE full season on the LPGA that she was able to play so well at the biggest events, she said, “… that’s amazing. That’s really cool to hear,” she said, “and I have had a really good season so far, two wins, including a major championship, kingston and then to have two more top 10s on top of REGION that in majors is awesome. It definitely gives me a lot of confidence moving forward. I definitely would have liked to house that Rolex Annika Major Award, but INSIDE maybe next year.” When Henderson was home on Sept. 9, she said she was looking forward to the next five weeks in Asia. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get in” to the Asian Swing last year, she said, “but this year, I got the green light.” For her T9 showing at the Evian Championship, Henderson earned $67,265.

Clay infield could have cost Perth Little League championship Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Little League Ontario has called foul on Perth’s tentative plans for a clay infield at Conlon Farm. A town staff recommendation that the Royal Canadian Legion’s baseball field at Conlon Farm be replaced by a clay infield could have cost the town the right to host the 2017 major (11and 12-year-olds) provincial championship. A staff report written by community services director Shannon Baillon regarding upgrades to the ball diamond recommended that council “approve a budget deviation in the amount of $32,268.40, plus HST, for a clay infield rebuild of the Legion ball diamond, located at Conlon Farm.” But at the same committee of the whole meeting on Sept. 13 that the report was presented, Coun. Jim Graff revealed that he had gotten hold of a letter from Jim Dean, president of Little League Ontario, sent by email on Sept. 11, to Rick Wilson, president of District 8 (Perth), which made the rather blunt assessment that “if the intention is for Perth to install a dirt infield, I will ask the Little League Ontario board to re-evaluate District 8’s selection of Perth as the 2017 host… We do not want a dirt infield for a Majors Provincial championship.” To drive the point home further,
Dean added that “installing a dirt infield will virtually guarantee that the field will never host a Canadian Little League Championship… so it seems pretty clear that a grass infield is required.” According to Dean’s letter, he was first made aware of the issue thanks to a short note from Wendy Thomson, assistant regional director of Little League Canada, who asked him: “For a major provincial in Ontario, do you want a clay or a grass infield? Perth wants to know as they are upgrading their diamond.” By his own admission, he responded, “A grass infield is preferred.” Dean admitted in his letter that, “Perhaps I should have been much more detailed in my reply to Wendy.” He told Wilson that the proposed clay field “does not make me very happy,” and that the Legion field at Conlon Farm was chosen, “in part because we were familiar with Legion Field, which has a grass infield.” In previous reporting by this newspaper, provincial championships have been held at Clyde Memorial Ball Park in Lanark Village, which has a dirt infield, something Baillon alluded to in her comments to council. Dean concedes that “it is true that occasionally a provincial championship gets played on a dirt infield. But I believe that to be the case only at levels outside the 11-12 age group. The
majors are special.” He referred Wilson to the Little League Official Rule Book’s 2016 edition, pages 137-138, that grass outfields and infields are “recommended.” Before Graff presented the letter to council, Baillon told the councillors that “I’ve recommended (the) clay field because it is a cheaper option,” since grass sod is more costly to maintain. It was at this point that Graff presented the letter, and said that “the infield must be grass,” for it to be at a professional level. “They find it is a safety factor (at that age group),” said Graff. “We do not want a dirt infield,” said Graff, a long time Little League supporter. He warned that “Renfrew is just chomping at the bit,” to host the championships, and would be more than happy to step in and take it from Perth if a clay field was installed, also because such a championship “it’s a revenue generator,” said Graff. “If we go to the clay field, we lose the championship.” “There are pros and cons,” said Baillon, but “I will budget for a little more maintenance capability.” Adding to the mix, Coun. Ed McPherson said that this debate had bypassed the recreation advisory committee completely. “It (Legion field) was never looked after the way baseball diamonds
should be looked after,” said McPherson. “The diamond is in terrible condition.” Ultimately, the final decision will be made at the town council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 27. The recreation advisory committee will look at this matter at its next meeting, scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 21. The decision to deal with this matter now rather than wait for the 2017 budget process and the springtime, was because “there was room in the bottom line to finance this project,” said John deRosenroll, the town’s chief administrative officer. In her report, Baillon reported that the ball diamond has been in use since 1990. However, since then, thousands of children have run the bases and caught hard-hit balls, and, because of this wear-and-tear, “the diamond infield has degraded over the years and is in need of a rebuild.” Her recommendations for the clay infield were actually made for the express purpose of making the field ready to host the provincial championships. The work would need to be done this October “as there would not be enough time to do it in the spring.” The town sent out requests for proposals to four contractors, and two submissions were received. The clay infield option cost $32,268.40, plus HST, while the sod infield with clay base lines and pitcher’s mound option
cost $29,052.90. Little League George Sachs, president of Perth Little League, said during a telephone interview on the morning of Thursday, Sept. 15, that he had read Baillon’s report and “I was a little concerned” that a clay infield was recommended. He also said he was a little surprised to see that the more expensive option was recommended. “I don’t think maintenance costs have been an issue,” he said of the existing field. “It’s certainly not our preference to go with a clay infield… We don’t want to be just another clay field. That’s not what we need.” As the main users of the field, he said “it would have been nice” to have been consulted about the choice between sod and clay. “I don’t recall a specific communication (from town hall about the choice). We knew this was coming up. They were looking at it.” He said he has been happy with the overall maintenance of the field, from grass being cut to lines being drawn. “We don’t get into too much harping about how the town does its business,” he said. “The council has been very supportive of Little League.” He confirmed that the Lanark field had been used in the past to host championships – but for players at the senior levels, ages 15 to 16.

Doctors prepare for Highlands Hunt Adventure Race for PEP in Lanark Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
The fourth annual Highlands Hunt Adventure Race is taking place at Drs. Bob and Beth-Anne Van Noppen’s farm in Lanark Village on Oct. 1. In support of the Perth Enrichment Program, located at 1 Elliot St., the home of the Van Noppens’ clinic in Perth, the event has raised nearly $10,000 over the years. It’s a fun day for the whole family. Hosted on 200 acres of property at 647 Rosetta Rd., the Van Noppens
are inviting people of all ages to enjoy the thrill and excitement of this mantracker event in the form of an adventure race. “It is a race of skill, orienteering and speed,” Dr. Beth-Anne Van Noppen says. “It is about finding objectives and completing skills while evading capture by mounted trackers. It is a man hunt.” Starting at 1 p.m. young participants under the age of nine can test their abilities against the horse-riding man trackers. It’s free for youngsters to participate.
Then at 2 p.m. the competitive race begins. Participants, ages 10 and up, will race across the 200 acres on the Rosetta Road farm. Participants will need to find six stations, completing a skill at each. When you complete the station, you get a coloured armband. You need all six to complete the race. But if you get caught by the man trackers, you will need to give up an armband, go back to that station and redo the skill. Between four and six man trackers are expected to be riding the countryside looking for individuals or teams
of people who will be completing the skill stations and finding their way to the finish line. It could take an hour and a half or it could take a lot longer. And you can redo the race if you want, if you have the time. At the finish line, participants will be able to choose from any number of prizes. Also, as part of the day’s events, a barbecue will be taking place. Hotdogs and burgers will be available for purchase all afternoon and there will be a baked goods table, including homemade pies. There will be kids’
games, like soft-target shooting, human hamster balls and pony rides. Last year, 100 people participated, and like any growing event, organizers are hoping the word will spread and more people will be coming out, rain or shine. They are expecting about 200 people this year. The cost is $25 per person when you register as a team of four, or $30 an individual. For more information or to register go to www.morepep.ca or call the PEP clinic for details: 613-201-7172.
Ashley Furniture’s star shines down on former Hathaway Building BY AMY HOGUE
Entrance to the Ashley Homestore Select Opening soon in the former Hathaway Building in Prescott The upcoming opening of a new Ashley Furniture store in Prescott has renewed local interest in its location – the former Hathaway Shirt factory – an icon in the community and one with sentimental value for the community and beyond. While Ashley Furniture franchise owner, Jay Upadhyay, said he didn’t have any foreknowledge of the building’s history when he chose it as the location for his new store, he’s been pleasantly surprised by the number of people in the community and surrounding area who have had experience with the former factory, either by visiting the store, or by working for Hathaway. Even when speaking with contractors or suppliers, some as far away asToronto, Upadhyay said everyone seems to know of, or have some personal experience with the Hathaway building, as employees, or from having purchased shirts there. “There’s been a lot of interest in the building, and people asking questions, saying how they’re happy that after six or seven years the building will be occupied,” Upadhyay explained, “It’s nice seeing the passion for this building…people are really keen to know what is happening here.” The Hathaway Shirt Factory has occupied a building on St. Lawrence Street in Prescott for nearly 60 years, founded in 1952 by Jim Walker. Upadhyay said that Jim’s wife, Betty Walker, has been into

Upadhyay anticipates a soft opening for the store near the end of September, with a grand opening planned for October 2016.

ber, for inclusion in budget deliberations this January. Fenik told Hendriks that it was his hope that the building of the new residential subdivision north of Highway 7 will be an added impetus for improved sidewalk connections in the area. “I am determined that we start putting in sidewalks in a staged way,” said Fenik. “There will be a natural tie-in with that subdivision… for me, that means sidewalks.” Hendriks said he wanted to see better sidewalks around the Shoppers Drug Mart and Rental Village stores. “If we’re going to do it, we’ll do it right,” Hendriks said. Coun. Ed McPherson admitted that “I caused an accident at Wilson and Highway 7,” when “I tried walking down Highway 7 a few months ago. That was the most uncomfortable walk in my life. It’s not a comfortable place to walk.” It was suggested that Perth could follow the lead of places like Mont Tremblant, Que.,, and Cornwall, where sidewalks are located behind buildings on major roads.
We’re all looking for the right path in life. Tony Hendriks was also looking for direction in his life, especially regarding paths – sidewalk paths, more specifically, along the north edge of Highway 7. Hendriks, who is part of an initiative to make the highway section of town look more inviting, and pedestrian friendly, and to draw drivers downtown, recently tuned in to an interview Mayor John Fenik gave on Lake 88 FM. “I was a little disappointed, your worship,” he said of Fenik’s on-air interview. “I kind of get the feeling that it (sidewalks are) on the back burner.” As such, he looked around the council chambers, during the committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 13, and admitted, “I’m here asking council for some direction.” He said he had promised businesses along Highway 7 sidewalks, but, along the south side “I can’t get any action on,” he said. He said that the committee he has been chairing has all but “disappeared,” but chief admin“It always isn’t comfortable to walk through istrative officer John deRosenroll offered Hendriks some reassurance, that a business survey parking lots,” said McPherson. “You don’t alon sidewalks would likely be completed this fall, ways have to go in a straight line…we always with the results due back to council by Novem- think in a linear fashion.”

Could Darou Farm become the new home to a centre for birds of prey? The ongoing demolition of the farmhouse is on hold because of the presence of barn swallows, which are identified as an endangered species. But the Centre for the Conservation of Specialized Species, based in Havelock, Ont., which is home to bats, eagles, falcons, hawks, and owls, is looking to move because of the establishment of an open pit mine across the road. “It’s like trying to function next to an angry Mount St. Helen’s,” said Jarl Ketola, president of the centre, during a presentation to Perth town council’s committee of the whole on Tuesday, Sept. 20, of the mine. That’s why they are looking for “a new place to call home. We needed to find a new home for the centre yesterday.” The centre was established in 1987, and is a registered charitable organization, “dedicated to contributing to the conservation of threatened and en-
dangered species through its educational and captive propagation programs,” said Ketola. He cited articles published by The Perth Courier this past spring about the problems at Darou Farm as a possible solution that could be mutually beneficial for the centre and the town. “Darou Farm could provide an excellent new home,” he said. The barn swallows would be accommodated on the new proposed site and the centre “would love to support such a threatened species site in Perth. The centre would work to ensure that the barn swallows nesting site here would be properly and permanently maintained. By removing the current dilapidated buildings that remain an eyesore,” it would “boost the barn swallow population on this site. Such an excellent opportunity would compliment the work that the centre does.” It could also provide a unique calling card for Perth, on top of its heritage beauty, in that the centre’s interactive and education bat exhibit, unique across Canada, could be transferred here. Coun. Judy Brown
welcomed Ketola’s presentation, but wondered if the barn swallows would be seen as prey for the hawks, for example. “They (hawks) are captive-bred animals,” he said. “They would not even know what a barn swallow is,” let alone see it as a source of food. “They are very safe to fly in these circumstances,” as they visit schools and libraries for educational visits. Moving to Perth would also allow the centre to thrive and survive as it has only just been able to “manage to survive” over the years. They have a moving budget of about $80,000 but “we are looking for whatever help we can get. We want this centre to survive somehow.” Mayor John Fenik said that while “I certainly applaud the efforts of conservation,” he called for a staff report to be written up. “We need to do a little bit more investigation,” he said, though he acknowledged that “time is of the essence.” “It all comes down to finances and being fiscally sustainable,” said Fenik. “We have shelters for cats and dogs that are not fiscally sustainable.”

The Meadows of Perth growing by leaps and bounds
*Metroland distribution area. Source: BrandSpark International Survey 2016. Story credit: simcoe.com
Given the recent success of their first phase, The Meadows of Perth has announced its application for Phase 2 and beyond. The first phase of the Meadows adult lifestyle bungalow subdivision which consisted of 19 single homes and 12 bungalow townhouses has only a few remaining unsold lots. A breakout sales period has seen 12 new homes moved into in the last 10 months and 15 homes in various stages of completion leaving just four remaining building sites and lots of interest. The Phase 2 application which provides for 17 building lots is currently awaiting county and town approvals. “Based on the recent success and build out rate we hope to be back with an application for Phase 3 approvals in the next 12 to 15 months,” said owner, Brent Brownlee. Located in the Town of Perth north of Highway 7 The Meadows of Perth is an upscale adult lifestyle residential subdivision combining a full complement of town services with the feel of country living and quick access to the highway. Advance down Drummond
Street through the commercial corridor and enter a quiet country meadow that runs back to the Blueberry Creek. “The goal was to create an upscale adult community of quality, accessible homes built using the best materials and methods including ICF foundations and in floor heating systems and high quality finishes inside and out,” noted Brownlee. “It seems to be working! We now have six full time employees and use many local subcontractors and suppliers.” In addition to the eight new townhomes currently being built there are eight bungalow home models ranging in size from 1,400 to just under 1,900 sq ft. “We are pleased to announce two new models, The Oksana and The Elmsley which we will start construction of this fall and we are working on other new models in order to keep the custom home feel of the subdivision,” he said. So far this subdivision has seen arrivals to Perth from PEI, Cornwall, Ajax and various communities throughout eastern Ontario.

Town Crier Brent McLaren, Mayor John Fenik together with the Brownlee family, are pictured at one of the new homes for sale in the subdivision, just off Highway 7 in Perth. This project has contributed to the well being of the economic base in Perth and surrounding areas and is credited with having created a significant number of well paying jobs. “By the time we are completed Phase 1 the Town will have seen building permit and development fees of almost $300,000 and will receive property taxes of over $140,000 annually.” Brownlee said he’s proud to have been able to hire much of the work to be done in the new subdivision through local contractors. Marc Drouin is the site supervisor. He’s got more than 25 years of experience in build-
ing and and renovating custom homes and is a certified insulated concrete home builder. He’s been part of the Perth community for more than 20 years. Heating and plumbing is being done by Unique Mechanical of Smiths Falls, while electrical work is offered by Ireton Electric of Perth. There is framing and roofing being done by GD Construction of Perth, drywall and ceramic by John Hamilton of
Portland, and Volkcraft Cabinets of Port Elmsley is doing kitchen cabinets and washroom vanities. Granite in the homes went to Dennis Pratt Granite of Perth, and the Perth Planning Mill, and Perth Home Hardware are keeping the site up to date with building supplies. Masony stone installation is being worked on by Hall’s Masonry of Perth, while Allan Butterworth of Perth is doing
the painting with supplies from Decorating by Design, also of Perth. Perth Garage Doors is supplying the garage doors, and the McIntosh Perry Surveying of Perth is handling the survey and layouts of the lots. On the selling of the sites and homes, that has been awarded to the local Re/Max Riverview Realty Inc. Submitted by The Meadows

Sun sets earlier on men’s twilight league action
The Perth Golf Course Men’s Tuesday Twilight League was sponsored by the League and there were 78 out to play a 4 man scramble.

Doug James, Gord Buchan, Howard and Jim Fournier played the back in 31. Long drives were by Bob Taylor, Roy Edwards, Gord Buchan, John Campbell, Peter Sims and Jim Fournier. Taylor took home the entry to the Burns Jewelers $500 gift certificate draw and Steve Dier won the $25 Lanark Landing gift certificate.
