It’s snowmen’s time to shine at this year’s Perth Santa Claus Parade

Desmond Devoy

Santa Paws brings Festive Cheer to Perth News – The building at 39 Gore St. E, the former office of The Perth Courier newspaper, is filled with festive cheer these days. The sad and forlorn empty store front has been rejuvenated this month thanks to the girls at Fall River Fashion. Owner Michele Murphy said she wanted to expand her store (located next door) to include some old fashioned Christmas cheer. “I thought the block needed a little Christmas cheering up,” she said. She’s pictured with her Shih Tzu, Maggie.

News – There’s only room for one Santa Claus at this parade – but there will be enough snowmen to make a snowstorm during this year’s Perth and District Santa Claus Parade of Lights. “It’s very magical at that witching hour when it goes from dusk to the lights coming on,” said Sheri Mahon-Fournier, chair of the parade committee, in gleeful anticipation, during a telephone interview this past Monday, Nov. 24. Planning for this year’s parade started on Sept. 1, and “the snowman suggestions came from someone in the community. We thought it would be very interesting to work with.” One of the challenges in finding a new theme each year is making such an idea accessible to the different groups that like to participate. “We like to keep them simple,” she said. “They (participants) don’t need to have a theme represented on their float,” in order to take part. “It’s all about participation.” The parade will form up at The Factory complex, 40 Sunset Blvd., on Saturday, Dec. 6, and Mahon-Fournier is calling for all participants to be in the parking

lot by 4 p.m., with pre-judging taking place between 4 and 4:15 p.m. The parade will leave the complex at 5 p.m. sharp, proceeding down Wilson Street, taking a left on Foster Street, then right onto Gore Street East. It’s not lost on the organizers that this is also the season of giving, especially to the less fortunate. The Salvation Army will be collecting toys and food along the parade route, with easily identifiable volunteers walking along near the head of the parade. They will also be accepting monetary donations. There are first place ribbons for the eight categories being judged, including: • Industrial (industries) • Commercial (small business, retailers) • Non-commercial (churches, small groups, etc.) • Schools (two classes, elementary and other) • Animal (animal entry or any entry pulled by an animal) • Service clubs • Individuals (walkers, bikers, roller bladers, wind surfers). The parade usually sees, on average, between 60 and 70 entries, and while some parades, like the Carleton Place parade, have been known to clock in at over 90 min-

utes long, the Perth parade “isn’t drawn out,” she said, usually getting the job done in about an hour, start-to-finish, by “slowly and efficiently (moving) without a lot of gaps. It lets people get out and enjoy the parade. It’s a nice, workable time.” There will also be free hot chocolate and hot dogs to all parade participants afterwards at the Queen Elizabeth Public School, 80 Wilson St. E. There are a few rules that floats must follow. Firstly, Santa Claus always brings up the rear, so, having more than one Santa in the parade might be confusing to younger children. He may be able to cover off deliveries the whole world over in one night, but being in two places at the same time on Wilson Street may still be a bit of a stretch. Secondly, while it may be chilly that evening, no open flames are allowed, so, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’s “Burning Love” Tiki extravaganza may have its world debut elsewhere – so his nose will have to suffice for illumination. Thirdly, while other parades may do this, the Perth parade has been very strict in enforcing its

Drew Dubas, Tracy Hawkins, Barbara Mahon and Nate Foster thanked everyone who donated to this year’s Build A Mountain of Food drive at the Giant Tiger location.

Smiths Falls adds more than 45,000 to Build a Mountain campaign Laurie Weir ljweir@metroland.com

News – Another stellar weekend for the record books has been chalked up for the Build a Mountain of Food campaign. Hugh Colton and his band of merry elves collected 45,466 pounds of food and more than $3,600 in cash donation. The grand total after three weeks on the campaign trail – an incredible 89,995 pounds of food and $10,407.16 in cash donations. “I’m speechless,” Colton said of the amounts that rolled in last weekend in town for the Smiths Falls and District Food Bank. “Those food bank shelves are full.” Carolyn Barr, manager of the food bank, was taking Monday to catch her breath. “It was a beautiful, wonderful day,” she said. “Absolutely glorious to see those shelves nice and full.” Barr said she never knows what to expect when Build a Mountain rolls through town. “We knew how many pre-packaged bags were made up but we are never sure how the public will respond,” she said. “But every time, the commu-

nity just blows me away.” There were a number of pit stops along Colton’s route in town last weekend, including at Andress’ Your Independent Grocer where 16,000 pounds of food were collected on Saturday – mostly through the purchase of 720 pre-packaged bags of food. “So many people are coming together and donating to the cause,” Colton said. “It’s been absolutely unbelievable.” Colton is generous in his praise to those who have helped make this year’s campaign such a success so far. “We really couldn’t do this without so many who are making it work,” he said. The Santa parade Saturday night was another opportunity to offer food to the cause as Colton had a float in the parade and was able to collect food along the way. There was also a successful food drive at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute with the junior boys’ basketball tournament. They collected 172.4 pounds of food and $100 cash. VanHorne Manor collected a couple thousand pounds of food and the Rideau Lakes Artists’

resigned as president in the summer, but stayed on as a board member and has been supporting LAWS since 1989. “As a president, you have no power. You don’t vote unless it’s to make a difference, so I decided to just go back to being a director,” she said. Hoyland admitted she wasn’t in favour “of Rhonda staying on as executive director.” Her biggest concerns, she says, were with Fleming’s treatment of people as well as the alienation of the Town of Smiths Falls and Montague Township in terms of pound services. “I didn’t think she was a good fit, but I wasn’t getting enough support for that (from the board),” she added. Kingsley said that over the last three years, LAWS has seen a big turnover in staff and he believes the issues members have are being resistant to change. “Basically, documentation I’ve seen, it’s the same group of people who don’t want the shelter to change. I’m not sure exactly why they don’t want it to change,” he said. “Change means improvement in this

particular case. We were barraged for a month with continual inspections by the agriculture ministry and the Workplace Health and Safety Board, OSPCA, sometimes twice in the same day, this was based on people complaining to them.” Those regulations have now been satisfied and Kingsley said inspectors have given LAWS “virtually a clean bill of health.” He said inspectors do have “a few concerns about ventilation, etc. but nothing remarkable in terms of closing the place down. We’ve complied on all of their standards over the last two-and-a-half months.” An issue has come about where, due to the status of the building, the windows of the room housing cats must be left open at all times,

Kingsley noted. “A lot of people were really concerned that worked there or our volunteers that we were freezing the poor little darlings and one of the things that we’re trying to move away from is that LAWS is not their forever home. LAWS is a temporary thing,” he explained. “Our obligation, as custodian and pound keeper, is to make sure the animals remain healthy and come up to snuff to be ready to be adopted.” Kingsley confirmed he’s seen Fleming be “stern” but it’s all for the benefit of the shelter. “I’ve seen Rhonda be stern with people who like to dump cats on us at the door; stern and educational. She says we can’t take it now, we’re at capacity, but if you bring it back in a couple of

News – Serious concerns by some of Lanark Animal Welfare Society’s (LAWS) membership and local animal control officers has called into question the treatment of dogs and cats at the shelter, as well as its operations. Many of the issues surround executive director Rhonda Fleming, a paralegal who previously worked at an animal hospital, who was hired on with the organization by the board back in July 2014. With Fleming at the helm of LAWS, it has been alleged longtime volunteers and five staff members have left or been let go. “There is no truth (to that),” stated James Kingsley, acting board president of LAWS. “There was one person who was let go and the other people were either laid off or decided to go on their own.” Attempts made to speak with Fleming for this story were unsuccessful. Differing opinions of board members on the direction the independent, no-kill shelter is heading under Fleming, as well as animal control regulations being allegedly ignored, were two of the reasons the membership asked the board to call a special meeting. That meeting was attended by members on Oct. 21 at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion. Two board members, former president Kathy Hoyland and director Cathy Taylor were there to bring concerns back to the board, but the next day they were notified their services were no longer needed. According to Kingsley, the reasoning behind Hoyland and Taylor’s dismissal is simple: they disobeyed rules. He said members are within their rights to request a special meeting and that must be done within 60 days of the request. However, with the Annual General Meeting (AGM) coming up at the end of November, “the board decided that the AGM would be the forum because it was occurring within 60 days,” Kingsley pointed out. “The meeting that did take place was a meeting called by the members (not the board),” he continued, adding that he consulted LAWS’ lawyer about the meeting. “People that attended for the board were removed from the board because they were in insubordination of the board’s motion saying that we would not discuss an employee’s performance in public because it’s illegal.” However, Hoyland said she is “technically still a director” on the LAWS board.

“I was voted in by the membership and I have to be voted out by the membership,” she explained, noting that some board members don’t understand the rules by which the board is governed. “In information regarding the appointment of officers to the executive, if someone is appointed by the board, they can be removed from that office at anytime.” “But I’m a director elected by the members,” Hoyland continued. “There are only four ways to leave: to die, resign, be no longer eligible, for example, if one had a criminal record, or to be voted out by a special membership meeting.” She stated that in calling the special membership meeting Oct. 21, she was just doing her duties as a board member. “Our rules state that when 10 or more members request a meeting, the president shall call the meeting. If that doesn’t happen, then the members can call the meeting themselves,” she said. Having been elected as president last November (2013), Hoyland said she

There’s a very thin line between animal lovers, animal huggers and animal terrorists, like Greenpeace and things like that. My point is, the passions can run very high.”

FOOD Association donated another 300 pounds to the cause that came from their weekend show. They were asking for donations to the Build a Mountain campaign from visitors to the memorial centre to see the art show and sale. Shawn Pankow also helped the cause with a food drive at REAL Deal where he had his electric car on display. “Then you’ve got places like Giant Tiger where 450 pre-packaged bags were sold – or 3,500 pounds, and then another 2,500 pounds from the Garden Market were donated,” Colton said. Then there was more coming in from Food Basics, rolling in around 1,720 pounds. Rideau Home Hardware

collected 1,000 pounds; RCL Automotive, 2,400 pounds; and donations from WMD Photography’s Zombie Walk and a barbecue at Kia brought in 300 pounds and cash donations. Giant Tiger also sold some prepackaged bags before the Nov. 22 event, collecting 490 pounds of food. Colton said the campaign is on the mark compared to last year. “There is no thought about last year; only what we are doing this year,” he said. “I don’t set goals, I just go and there are surprises along the way. That’s what makes it fun. We push hard and hope to fill the shelves of all 11 food banks in the communities we serve.” Barr was quick to praise Colton and

his efforts over the years. “He really puts his heart and soul into it,” she said “He’s always so happy and that’s infectious. It shines through in all that he does for this campaign.” Coming up this week, the Build a Mountain of Food hits Westport’s Kudrinko’s grocery store with all donations going to the Westport Food Bank. Colton and the gang will be on site from 9 a.m. to noon. Also on Sat-

urday, Nov. 29, from 1 to 4 p.m. Colton will be in Elgin, Gordanier’s Fresh Mart with all donations to the Elgin Food Bank. Saturday evening, he will rush back to Carleton Place for a 5 p.m. Santa Claus parade. On Saturday, Dec. 6, 9 a.m. to noon the campaign will be at the Portland Food Market with all donations to the Portland Food Bank; from 1 to 4 p.m.

the Merrickville Food Market is next with donations to the Merrickville Lions Club Christmas Food Hamper Campaign. Finally, on Saturday Dec. 13 from 9 a.m. to noon, Colton will be at the Athens Fresh Mark with all donations to the Athens Food bank. Then from 1 to 4 p.m. he will be at the Delta Country Market with all donations to the Delta Food Bank.

Energy usage meter available to borrow from local libraries News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If you are concerned high electricity bills, you should take a look at the electricity used by your household appliances. The Kill a Watt meter, an appliance energy usage meter, will help you determine how much it costs you to run a given appliance, and determine if there are phantom loads â&#x20AC;&#x201C; appliances using electricity when they appear to be off. Kill a Watt Meters are available to borrow at a number of local libraries as well as

the REAL Deal store by the Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL). The meter is very simple to use. Simply plug the threeprong device into 120 VAC, three-prong (grounded) electrical outlet and then plug your appliance into the meter. An LCD shows the AC volts, AC amps, watts, volt-amps, frequency, power factor, kilowatt-hours (up to 9,999 KWH) and elapsed time (up to 9,999 hours.) You can easily test appliances like fans, computers,

heaters, stereos and lamps. For appliances that cycle on and off, like fridges, freezers, pumps and water coolers, it is best to keep the Kill a Watt plugged in for up to 24 hours to get an accurate reading. This device will not allow you to measure the electrical consumption of appliances that are directly wired, such as stoves, dishwashers, driers, water pumps, furnaces, electric hot water heaters or some lighting fixtures. Once you have determined

the kilowatt hours consumed, you can find the energy costs of that appliance and compare it to typical models or energy efficient models using listings provided online by Natural Resources Canada and Hydro One. You may find a certain appliance is an energy guzzler and could be used more sparingly or even replaced with a more energy efficient model. The meters come with some additional tips from REAL that will help borrowers to get the

information they need. These instructions are also available on REALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website www.REALaction.ca under the energy tab. Various YouTube videos from other organizations may be helpful, as well. Residents can borrow a Kill a Watt meter free of charge from certain area libraries. Smiths Falls, Perth, Almonte and South Elmsley have had meters for several years and Carleton Place and Pakenham have just received theirs from REAL. A Kill a Watt meter is

also available from the REAL Deal Store in Smiths Falls. It is advisable to call ahead as each location has only one meter. The Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) is making the meters available to residents to encourage the sensible use of our provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy resources. More about REALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmental activities can be found at www. REALaction.ca. Submitted by the Rideau Environmental Action League.

enforcement/animal control officer (ACO) for Montague, Laura Lowson, whose husband Marty happens to be her counterpart in Smiths Falls, said there is a real danger in those agreements not being renewed. Montague and Smiths Falls are being forced to investigate their accommodation for their impounded animals. “It means that dogs and cats impounded may go to shelters or humane societies where euthanasia does take place,” Lowson stated. Lowson said it’s something she would hate to see. She noted that in the 14 years she’s been in the role, she has never had the difficulties with LAWS she’s been having over the past several months. “There’s been quite a change this last year and it’s very disturbing,” she said, noting that she is speaking out on the issues as “it’s important to me that LAWS remains functioning for animals. As it stands now, LAWS will not.” Kingsley admitted that LAWS is taking the concerns of Smiths Falls and Montague seriously and has had new contracts drafted by the organization’s lawyer. “Smiths Falls is one of the ACOs (animal control officers) that are concerned and that’s one of the issues that’s being dealt with through us and our management, through our lawyers. So I really can’t comment on it,” he said. A self-professed dog lover with 12 rescues of her own at the family farm, Lowson said she loves working with animals on a daily basis. She also said as a retired Toronto Police Service officer for 25 years, she has a good grasp on the regulations to which LAWS must adhere. Some of these regulations she believes aren’t being followed. One such incident Lowson faced dealt with the seizure of a pit bull cross dog she impounded at LAWS. She said she put a ‘do not release’ order on the impound sheet for the dog as it was aggressive and had bitten three individuals in the past. She said the animal was to be destroyed. “...The dog had a bite history, had a muzzle order and we’d been receiving from neighours that the dog was growling and barking at individuals and the neighbour had also been nipped by the dog,” Lowson said. Instead of being euthanized, she said that dog has now been sent out to a foster home, allegedly under Fleming’s orders. “...She (Fleming) would not let me have the dog and put it in the back area, not the impound area, the main area of the shelter, which we don’t have access to as animal control,” she commented. In this instance, Lowson got the municipality’s lawyer involved. “Our lawyer advised what could happen if the dog bites again. This puts LAWS and the township in jeopardy,” she said. “Rhonda argued that it was her decision and had nothing to do with the township anymore. (The advice) fell on deaf ears,” Lowson alleged. Lowson claimed instances where fines have been put on dogs suffering from animal cruelty by their owners, have also been ignored. The most recent case Lowson was involved with surrounded a dog that had been left tied up in a park overnight during a thunderstorm. A police officer handed the dog over to animal control and it was put in the pound. It had no iden-

tification or microchip. “The only recourse we had was to put very high fines on the release form, which were $500,” she explained. Once the owner was found, the hefty fines were questioned. “I told him he had left his dog out tied to a tree all night, subject to other dog attacks and the weather. That was neglect,” she stated. “He would have to pay the fine. He had no remorse.” Lowson said Fleming questioned the large fines and later she found out that the dog had been released to the owner without the fines having been paid. “This is in contravention of our contracts,” Lowson pointed out. Kinglsey claimed he was informed that fines levied incorrectly were not collected. He also noted regulations aren’t always followed by the animal control officers. “In terms of animal safety, I’ve been there when the two ACOs (Marty and Laura Lowson) concerned have brought animals in that were aggressive that didn’t even have a muzzle on, they were loose in the back of a pickup,” he stated. “There is legislation in terms of the care and transportation of animals and they’re not supposed to be loose in the back of a pickup. So, there are issues there and our lawyer has

worked very hard in developing an approach to that and try to mitigate it as opposed to making it confrontational. I think a lot of it is just understanding jurisdictional issues and legal responsibilities under the multitude of legislation that relates to animal care in the province.” Being met with an obstacle almost each time she visits LAWS, Lowson admitted she is thinking of a second retirement. “Your will gets chipped away. Meeting honest, good people in the area and by working with the animals and being able to help them, makes us feel really good,” she said. “We’re on call 24/7. We never take a holiday and we’re probably the only people that answer their phones 24/7. Twenty-five years as a police officer, you have to build up a wall, but it’s hard.” AGM Kingsley said he understands the concerns the membership has and the board is working on putting a plan in place to address them. “There are people out there who are concerned and I understand that and as I said, the only thing we can do to improve and deal with their concerns in the most effective way is to have a better communication strategy and to share our plans with the

The history and myths of retirement What is retirement? Well, these days, it can be anything you want it to be. Today’s retirees are living vibrant, active lifestyles for many years – lifestyles that will require significant additional income. How will you ‘shape’ your retirement? Let’s look back at a brief history of retirement (and explode a few retirement myths) to see what’s in your future. A brief history of retirement • Retirement is a relatively recent development in human history. The “industrial age” of the late 18th and early 19th century replaced an economy based on manual labour with one dominated by machinebased industries. Still, the demands of physically exhausting labour made it almost impossible for ‘older’ workers to stay on the job. It was easy for them to buy into the idea of retirement as they hit their sixth decade. • The cornerstone of Canada’ retirement income system, the Old Age Security (OAS) program began in 1927 and was updated in 1952 to provide a modest pension to eligible seniors as early as age 60. Among many subsequent amendments: the introduction of the Guaranteed Income Supplement (1967); the

Manage Your Money establishment of the Spouse’s Allowance (1975); and the extension of benefits to same-sex common-law partners (2000). • Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) were first introduced in 1957. • The Canada Pension Plan/Québec Pension Plan (CPP/QPP) were enacted in 1965 to provide a monthly income to retirees as early as age 60 with payments dependent on how much a person paid into the plan while working. • The most significant retirement trends over the past 30 years are driven by people retiring earlier and living longer. That means the period over which retirees must fund their retirement has increased significantly from an average of five years in 1970 to approximately 20 years today – and is expected to reach 30 years in the near future. Retirement myths • Retirement means you no longer work: Retirees today believe in “work at any age” – either full-time, parttime, or as volunteers. • Retirement begins at 65: Increasingly, Canadians are choosing to retire earlier

COMMENTARY

Still time for Junior Citizen nominations

ditorial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; They are making a difference one star at a time. Children and teens between the ages of six and 17 (as of Nov. 30) who go above and beyond to volunteer their time and help their peers and the community deserve some time in the spotlight. The Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards do just that by recognizing the efforts of youngsters across the province each year. The program is co-ordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association (or OCNA, to which The Carleton Place Almonte Canadian Gazette, The Perth Courier, The Smiths Falls Record News and The Kemptville Advance belong) and sponsored by TD Bank Group and the Insurance Bureau of Canada. The program is also supported by the office of the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. Nominees are being sought in five categories: involved in community service; special young people contributing while living with a physical or psychological limitation; performed acts of heroism or bravery in the past year; achieving excellence personally; and being a good kid who shows a com-

mitment to make life better for others and doing more than is normally expected of someone his or her age. Nominations may come from anyone in the community. Each nominee will receive a certificate of recognition. Up to 12 nominees will be selected for the provincial award that will be presented at a special ceremony in Toronto in the spring. Bailey Whitehouse of the Prescott area was among last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Junior Citizen of the Year award recipients. The Metroland Media office at 65 Lorne St. in Smiths Falls (613-283-3182) has nomination forms (and at least two supporting nomination forms are also required and are included in the package). Supporting material including endorsement letters and newspaper clippings will also be accepted. Nomination forms are also available online at www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or by emailing jr.citizen@ocna.org. The deadline for submissions is this Sunday, Nov. 30. Nominate a junior citizen and help OCNA pay tribute to young Ontarians and give the leaders of tomorrow a pat on the back today.

One cent sale helped prepare for long winter ahead Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mother had counted her egg money at least four times. It sat all night in little mounds at the end of the kitchen table, just where she had left it when we had gone to bed. Beside it was a sheet of white paper and the full-page ad out of the Renfrew Mercury. Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list was long and although there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a thing on it that caused me the least bit of excitement, what did get me all in a state of anticipation, was the fact that we would be going into Renfrew to Ritzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug Store where I could browse the perfume counter and use the little sample dip-stick to dab on a bit of Evening in Paris, my very favourite. It was the Rexall One Cent Sale, which happened twice a

year and now it was late in the fall and the Renfrew Mercury showed a full page of everything from tooth powder, to rubbing alcohol, to something called â&#x20AC;&#x153;pills for pale peopleâ&#x20AC;?. These were not the same as Lydia Pinkhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pink Pills for Pale People, according to my older sister Audrey. No everything on the one-cent sale had to bear the label â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rexallâ&#x20AC;?. And it was my sister Audrey, so much smarter than I was, who explained how the

If you bought something that cost a dollar, you got another of the exact same thing for a cent, so you would end up with two, for a dollar and one cent. No wonder Mother was making a list as long as your arm! Just to be sure Mother had enough money to cover all the things on her list, she had Everett slaughter four good fat chickens and gather a couple dozen eggs, all of which she would peddle off to her good customers in Renfrew before we hit the drug store.

she had bought everything in the ad that filled a full page in the Renfrew Mercury! She lined everything up in rows and to make sure she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been cheated, which was highly unlikely, as she stroked each item off her long list. There were two of everything. There were the two green tins of tooth powder. Tooth powder was a real treat...we usually used baking soda, which I hated with a passion. Everything was in either a green tin, a green box, or a green paper bag. That seemed to be the colour of the Rexall One Cent Sale. The exception was the little stack of foolscap pads. They were bright pink and I knew who they would be for. My brother Emerson would lay claim to them! Emerson spent hours drawing pictures of glass buildings, houses that were made of glass cubes. We thought him pretty strange, but Mother thought he was a genius and would grow up to be someone famous. So the pink pads were for him. There were green bottles of cough medicine, pain pills, even liniment for the horses. All in twos: full price for one and the second for a cent! The kitchen table was a sea of green when Mother got everything laid out in rows. And then she took her change purse out and sorted the few coins that were left. It had been a good day. Not only had she bought all the necessities to see us through the long winter ahead, she had money left over to put back into the eggmoney sugar bowl in the cupboard. It had indeed been a good day.

Harper protégé becomes ‘it wasn’t me’ candidate in Tory leadership race Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Harper and Jason Kenney, the employment, social development and multiculturalism minister reaching out to ethnic communities and creating coalitions. His admiration for Harper is evident: “I am proud to be in his caucus.” The day before, the Conservatives had held the late Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s old seat in Whitby-Oshawa in a federal by-election, and he called the victory “certainly encouraging. (The) voting public in the GTA still has faith in our Prime Minister and his vision.” While other contenders for the crown were elected under the party banner after the Harris/Ernie Eves years of 1995 to 2002 (such as Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa McLeod, elected in a 2006 by-election, the same year Whitby-Oshawa MPP Christine Elliott was elected, also in a byelection), they were still there Desmond Devoy/METROLAND for the ’07, ’11 and ’14 elections Barrie MP Patrick Brown smiles during a recent stop under leaders John Tory and in Smiths Falls. He is seeking to replace Tim Hudak as Hudak.

R0013025936/1127

News – “What the name of the riding here?” Patrick Brown calls out to campaign advisory Debbie Jodoin. They’re not prepping for a campaign meeting in the car, but rather, in the midst of a crowd of Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario members, at Chuckles Jack restaurant in Smiths Falls on a recent chilly winter morning. “Uh,” she replies, followed by an awkward pause. “Randy’s riding?” she says finally, meaning Randy Hillier’s Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington seat. The Conservative MP for Barrie is indeed a long way from the shores of Lake Simcoe. The question was asked as Brown tried to help a voter sign up a membership form for the upcoming PC leadership vote, taking place next May 9, with a polling station planned for Smiths Falls. Having criss-crossed the province many times as an organizer for Premier Mike Harris in the 1990s, this is not Brown’s first time in Smiths Falls – but it is his first time as a speaker, this time, as one of the candidates seeking to re- Ontario Progressive Conservative leader. place former leader Tim Hudak. It is a long road that knows no turning, with the prize being the leadership of a party that has not won an election since the end of the last century. But Brown feels he has an ace up his sleeve – with more than a little help from the Prime Minister’s officer. Some federal Tory staffers are on his campaign and, as he is quick to point out early and often in his speech to the faithful on Nov. 18, he has absolutely nothing to do with the Tory gang at Queen’s Park that snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in both 2011 and 2014 (and even 2007). Part of his message lies in the belief that provincial Tories must act more like federal Tories. The federal branch of the party has more than 100,000 members in Ontario – while their provincial cousins have only about 10,000, by his count. “We got blown away in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) last time,” in June’s provincial election. “But the federal Conservatives did very well (in 2011).” He chalked that up to Stephen

“I am the only outsider in this race,” he said, promising a scorched-earth policy if he arrives at the provincial Tory HQ in Toronto. “I want to get rid of the establishment of the party…I have no connections with any insiders at Queen’s Park.” He is banking heavily on a promise of no more mid-campaign surprises, like Hudak’s pledge to cut 100,000 public service jobs, or Tory’s pledge to fund faith-based schools in 2007. Any new campaign planks would have to be hammered out, so to speak, and agreed – or rejected – by a convention of candidates and party presidents. “I want to let the membership vet policy,” he said. “If we had run the last election on hydro prices, if we had won the last election on the pension tax,” they would have done much better. “We allowed a back room culture at Queen’s Park to run the party.” Brown was first elected to office in his early 20s, winning

a seat on Barrie city council in 2000. He moved to federal politics, being elected an MP in 2006, following an earlier failed attempted in 2004. He is now the chair of the Conservatives’ GTA caucus, and one of his duties was to brief Harper on the provincial election this past spring. As the campaign progressed, the two men agreed: “How could (they) misread the situation so badly?” His attacks on Hudak’s leadership did not end there, however. By the time the final vote was cast on June 12, Brown felt that “our party had become too partisan, too negative,” and that this simply was not sustainable. The PC party at Queen’s Park voted against almost every bill put forward by the Liberal government. “I don’t think that is credible,” said Brown, noting that they would even go so far as to announce that they would vote against a budget – before it had even been tabled. Provincial See BROWN page 11

Tories need to show that “we are open-minded. We are reasonable. There is no monopoly on a good idea.” He hastened to add, however, that “a lot of what the Liberals do is not good,” but that neither is good to be “close minded.” One of the problems faced by the provincial Tories was fighting not only groups that have had an antagonistic relationship with them in the past, like teachers and nurses, but with traditionally sympathetic groups, like firefighters and police officers. The Ontario Provincial Police Association (OPPA) took the unprecedented step of running negative ads against Hudak’s party, something it had never done in the past. “You’d be tough pressed to find a cop who supported Tim Hudak,” said Brown. “You’d be hard pressed to find a cop not supporting Harper.” He spoke with Senator Vern White, the former Ottawa police chief, who said that the party may well have won police support, had a hand merely been extended to them. “No one asked us for our input,” Brown quoted White as saying during a post-election meeting. White suggested that if the province hired more mental health workers, “you will make policing more efficient.” He cited statistics that showed that as much as 40 per cent of police time is spent on mental health calls. “You’re seeing wasted resources,” he said. “It would free up police resources.” Nurses also told him that they wanted to be at least consulted on issues like longterm care. “I want to bring them back into the family,” said Brown of these professions. He went so far as to chastise MPPs who took to the radio after the OPPA ads aired and called police officers “underworked and overpaid.” “We made it personal,” he

said. “It stings to be attacked by one of your friends.” Bringing them back into the family “starts with being respectful of our friends.” During the campaign, he saw the party become anti everything: anti teacher, firefighter, police officer. On other issues, like transit, they were “scared to talk about it.” While he is willing to make nice, he is also willing to call it like he sees it, citing a Globe and Mail ranking that found him to be one of the top 10 MPs to vote against their party line, voting against Harper’s wishes nine per cent of the time. “Parties are at their best when they represent the population,” he said. Other people he wants to roll the welcome mat out for are New Canadians. “Most of these New Canadians…are conservatives at heart. But you have to be there,” he said. He attends hundreds of ethnic events each year, where he sees other federal Tories, and provincial Liberals and New Democrats – but precious few provincial Tories. He charged that the Liberals “have taken them for granted. They have had a free ride in cultural communities.” On more specific policy ideas, he said he would place an immediate moratorium on wind turbines and would “look at ways” to renegotiate contracts for existing turbines, and would like to see executive compensation caps at provincially owned crown corporations and companies. As for the new policing funding formula, which appears set to cost rural municipalities significantly more, he proposed a “more thoughtful approach. I am not saying we need less officers,” but he placed some of the blame for rising police costs on the arbitration system, where a case can take up to seven years to process. “It’s a system that rewards those who want to use the courts,” he said. “I don’t think we can make police scapegoats for the budget.”

PLANNING A LEGACY GIFT AS PART OF YOUR ESTATE PLAN CAN HAVE POSITIVE TAX BENEFITS Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneďŹ ciary of a part or all of your retirement funds? By Paul St. Louis, LL.B, TEP Vice-President, Doherty & Associates

Many people who have been faithfully putting away funds regularly into registered retirement savings plans are only peripherally aware of the large embedded tax liability within these funds. For those holding such plans, the general idea is to draw on these funds later in life (you must begin doing so in the year following the year in which you turn 71) when your taxation rate may be lower. When the funds come out of the

plan, they are considered income and taxed accordingly. Similarly on death, unless rolled over to a qualiďŹ ed beneďŹ ciary (usually a spouse), the funds are de-registered all at once, considered income and consequently taxed heavily. Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneďŹ ciary of a part or all of your retirement funds? This represents a unique opportunity for some donors who are planning a legacy gift as part of their estate plan. When CHEO

is designated as a direct beneďŹ ciary of a part or all of your RRSP or RRIF, on the death of the plan holder, your estate can be issued a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of the designated funds which will generally offset the entire tax liability embedded in the designated funds. It is relatively straightforward to make this kind of gift. You simply need to name the hospital (CHEO Foundation - charitable registration number 11885 2474 RR0001) as the beneďŹ ciary on the plan documentation

If you are interested in ďŹ nding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

with the ďŹ nancial institution that holds your retirement account. Before moving forward with such a gift, you need to consider this technique in the broader context of your overall ďŹ nancial and tax situation, so it is advisable to get professional advice from either your own ďŹ nancial planner or one of CHEOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legacy Advisory Committee members.

O Little Town of Bethlehem Hark the Herald Angels Sing Hark the herald angels sing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glory to the new-born King,â&#x20AC;? Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!â&#x20AC;? Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies, With the angelic host, proclaim, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christ is born in Bethlehem.â&#x20AC;?

Jingle Bells

Hark, the herald angels sing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Glory to the new-born King.â&#x20AC;? Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold Him Come, Offspring of a virginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womb, Veiled in ďŹ&#x201A;esh the Godhead see; Hail, the incarnate Deity, Pleased as Man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel!

Deck the Halls

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

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la la la la la. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la la la la la la la. Troll the ancient Yuletide carole, Fa la la la la la la la la.

Jingle bells, Jingle bells! Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh!

Hail, the heaven born Prince of peace! Hail, the Son o Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings, Mild He lays His glory by Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

See the blazing Yule before us, Fa la la la la la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus, Fa la la la la la la la la. Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la la la la la. While I tell the Yuletide treasure, Fa la la la la la la la la.

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

O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, The silent stars go by; Yet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary; And gathering all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently how silently, The wonderous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.

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

(Repeat Chorus) Now the ground is white, Go it while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re young, Take the girls tonight, And sing the sleighing song. Just get a bob-tailed nag, Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the lead.

Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale they say, He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found, For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around. Oh Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be, and the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me. Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, look at Frosty go. Thumpety thump thump, thumpety thump thump, Over the hills and snow.

(Repeat Chorus)

You better watch out, You better not cry Better not pout, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna ďŹ nd out Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town He sees you when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sleeping He knows when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re awake He knows if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake!

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

O! You better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m telling you why. Santa Claus is coming to town.

The 12 Days of Christmas

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

On the ___ day of Christmas my true-love gave to meâ&#x20AC;Ś (and) A partridge in a pear tree! Two turtle doves, Three French hens, Four calling birds, Five golden rings, Six geese a-laying, Seven swans a-swimming, Eight maids a-milking, Nine ladies dancing, Ten lords a-leaping, Eleven pipers piping, Twelve drummers drumming,

Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudolph with your nose so bright, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you drive my sleigh tonight?â&#x20AC;? Then now the reindeer loved him as they shouted out with glee â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go down in history.â&#x20AC;?

Perth Rocking Around the Christmas Tree Rockin around the Christmas tree At the Christmas party hop Mistletoe hung where you can see Every couple tries to stop Rocking around the Christmas tree, Let the Christmas spirit ring Later weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some pumpkin pie And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do some caroling.

The First Noel

The Little Drummer Boy

The ďŹ rst Noel the angel did say Was to certain poor shepherds in ďŹ elds as they lay; In ďŹ elds where they lay keeping their sheep On a cold winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night that was so deep. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it continued both day and night. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. And by the light of the same star, Three wisemen came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. This star drew nigh to the north-west, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel. Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon bended knee, And offered there, in His presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, Born is the King of Israel.

Battle of Franklin 150th anniversary underlines significant toll of war

Family Friendly Restaurant

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

to major social upheaval which permanently changed the face of the country where it occurred. I am referring of course to the American Civil War (1861-1865) which, although it has been romanticized at times in film and literature, was really a cauldron of hatred, death and destruction which threatened to permanently divide the neighbouring US North against South, Blue against Grey with the “southern way of life” and the “institution of slavery” at stake. It was a very complicated situation of course. But at its heart was the desire of the states, which seceded to form the Confederate States of America, to continue slavery which so many Americans wanted to abolish. I don’t intend to examine the politics of the Civil War. Instead I will look at one of its many battles, a little known engagement that has an interesting connection to Carleton Place, my adopted hometown. Sesquicentennial Beginning on April 12, 2011, the 150th anniversary of the Confederate shelling of Fort Sumter (located in the harbour at Charleston, South Carolina), Americans have been marking the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War. Events have been held over the past four years to mark any number of major battles and skirmishes which occurred during a war which (officially) lasted four years, six weeks

and three days. The majority of the fighting during the war occurred in two states, Virginia and Tennessee. This Sunday (Nov. 30) marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Franklin which occurred in and around the then town of the same name in Middle Tennessee, just south of Nashville, in 1864. Admittedly the Carleton Place connection is a recent one. Our community has been formally linked with Franklin in a Sister City relationship or twinning, if you prefer, since January 2005. I currently have the privilege of chairing the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, a fact I have referred to previously in this space. Our committee works closely with the Franklin and Williamson County Sister City Board on a number of initiatives intended to promote better relations between Canadian and American communities. The most important is an annual Student Exchange program which we have run together since 2006. Several years ago our program caught the attention of the United States Embassy in Ottawa. Embassy staff, including the ambassador, would like to see many more “hands across the border” arrangements such as the linkage between Franklin and Carleton Place. I am a major history buff with a strong interest in the American Civil War. Therefore I was fascinated to discover that one of the major battles during that lengthy and deadly conflict occurred in Franklin. I have visited Franklin several times and I always make a point of soaking up more of the city’s fascinating history, including the See COLUMN page 24

Lifestyle – There is never a shortage of wars in the world. At present the biggest and most complex is the war on terrorism or more to the point the ongoing battle against Islamic extremists who are bent on taking over or further destabilizing nations where conflicts are already ongoing. Canada is part of the coalition which is trying to prevent extremists, who are known by the acronyms ICIL and ISIS, from gaining more ground in Iraq and Syria where civil war has become a fact of life. Despite the fact Canada is only marginally involved, the war in Afghanistan is ongoing. And there are also concerns about various African nations where internal conflict is being further complicated by the worrying spread of the dreaded Ebola virus. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, also known as “The Great War” or the “War to End All Wars.” The inaccuracy of the second statement has been demonstrated time and again over the course of the last century. In this country war has been relatively unknown. We did mark the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 two years ago. But that fighting erupted before Canada was officially a nation. The conflict, between the British who governed what was then known as Upper Canada and the relatively young United States, was really a series of skirmishes rather than all-out war. Still, you don’t have to go back very far in history to find a major war which occurred on this continent. A war which claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, caused incalculable destruction and led

Civil War battle and its aftermath. When students from Carleton Place visit Franklin each year we make a point of exposing them to this very interesting chapter in the history of our sister community. It is rare when anyone comes away unimpressed. Most people, young or old, are intrigued by the story! On Nov. 15 and 16 more than 700 Civil War re-enactors from across North America (yes, numerous Canadians are included in this particular fraternity) descended on Franklin to mark the 150th anniversary with mock battles, fought on some of the same ground where the actual conflict occurred. I had hoped to attend but my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death and other family matters prevented me from doing so. Fortunately Paul and Jean Knowles from our committee were in attendance and they were good enough to send me some photographs taken during the re-enactment. Shocking aftermath The reality is that on the morning of Dec. 1, 1864 the 800 residents of Franklin (the growing city has nearly 70,000 people today) awoke to find nearly 10,000 dead and wounded soldiers who were involved in an evening and night-time battle that lasted only a few hours. The Battle of Franklin is most often referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the bloodiest five hours of the Civil War.â&#x20AC;? The Confederate Army of Tennessee, led by General John Bell Hood, attacked fortified Union positions manned by the Army of Ohio under

General John Schofield. The Rebel force suffered nearly 7,000 casualties including 1,800 dead. The Union, many of whom were behind earthen works, sustained more than 2,300 casualties but a more moderate 190 were killed in action. The armies who clashed numbered 54,000 with approximately 27,000 on each side. The Battle of Franklin ended in a major loss for the Confederacy who was further crippled when all 14 of the general officers involved in the fighting were killed, wounded or captured. Six Rebel generals died that night in what is often called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pickettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Charge of the West.â&#x20AC;? Two weeks later what remained by Hoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s army was routed at the Battle of Nashville meaning they were eliminated as an effective fighting force. The Franklin-Nashville Campaign was undoubtedly a major turning point for the North in its ultimate victory over the South. Tiny Franklin was at the centre of a bloodbath. Every public building and large house in the town was turned in to a hospital. The nearby Carnton Plantation house is one of the key remaining buildings. During tours (I have visited several times) the guides always point out the bloodstains which remain clearly visible on the wooden floors upstairs. Confederate surgeons worked desperately to save as many lives as possible. At least 150 Rebel soldiers died at Carnton that night. The John McGavock family, which owned the plantation, were responsible

for establishing a cemetery for the Confederate dead which today is a major attraction in Franklin. Citizens of the town raised the money necessary to have the hastily buried bodies exhumed and moved to the cemetery. Nearly 1,500 Southern dead are interred there, including 558 whose names are unknown. The largest loss by state was 424 men from neighbouring Mississippi. They are among those buried in what is known as the McGavock Confederate Cemetery. It is the largest private Confederate cemetery in the nation. The exact number who died in the American Civil War will never be known due to primitive burial practices and poor record keeping. Much research has gone into the subject but until recently the most commonly used number was 620,000 dead. That is an incredible figure considering that in 1860 the total US population was 31 million, one-tenth of what it is today. In 2011, at the beginning of the Civil War Sesquicentennial, a far more detailed study was released. The findings are that the actual number of dead is probably 20 per cent higher than conventional wisdom, or upwards of 750,000. What is certain is that the Civil War resulted in more deaths that all other American wars from the Revolutionary War through the Korean War combined. The Battle of Franklin and its aftermath demonstrates how profoundly war touched one small Tennessee community. As I mentioned in my Remembrance Day week column, most American

communities have a war memorial or memorials. Franklin is no exception. In the central square stands a large monument topped by the sculpted figure of a Confederate soldier. During my first tour of Franklinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Civil War sites the guide told our group the figure atop the memorial faces south. That seemed insignificant until she explained that most, if not all, such statues in the American south are the same. That means the posterior of the statues face north. There is a rather obvious significance in that when you think about it! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers. com.

SFCID students play major roles in Station Theatre’s Christmas pantomime action, lavish costumes, dancing and song to the stage. The music is a mix of modern and vintage, influenced by the swing sounds of the ‘50s and the British invasion of the ‘60s, with a little Barry White thrown in for the ‘70s! The pantomime opens with the wicked Giant Blunderbore terrorizing the land and poor Jack and his mum being hit with hard times. Trying to make ends meet,

the family decides to sell their beloved cow, Daisy. When Jack comes home with gold coins that turn into worthless beans, the magic really starts. “Jack” is a play for young people of all ages. British style pantomimes assume the audience will join in the fun – heckling the villains and urging on the good guys. In the leading roles, men play women and women

play men, ramping up the fun! And to add to the local interest, a number of students from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) have major roles in the production. Jennifer Jasiak plays the Principal Boy, Jack Trot; Bethany Duberville is cast as Princess Demelza; Slade Stoodley breaks up the audience as the malodorous Slimeball; and Garrett Pipher adds to the antics with his portrayal of Simple Simon. Other SFDCI students lend support: Lela Fox-Doran, Valerie Brown and Elizabeth Falzon as Chorus and Ghost; Ursula Rice-Leech, Aldous Rice-Leech, Savannah and Bailey Bisaillon, and Katie Scott as Giant Cockroaches. Maya Gordon, Odessa Mitchell, Jessica Jasiak, and Caitlyn Lesnick, grade 8 students locally, are also members of this talented cast. Of course, every Britishstyle panto needs a great Dame, a leading role always played by a man. In this production,

Bethany Duberville (as Princess Demelza) and Jennifer Jasiak (as the Principal Boy, Jack Trot) rehearse in costume for the Dec. 4 opening of Jack and the Beanstalk at the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls. The theatre’s annual Christmas pantomime runs until Dec. 14.

the experienced actor Michael Adams gets a lot of the laughs as he cavorts with the other characters around the stage. He’s joined by Richard Croteau, who sang in this summer’s Railway Children, playing King Bertram and Nick Ritchie, cast as Giant Blunderbore. Sheila Jasiak and Shawna Merkley strut their stuff as the front and back end of Daisy the cow, maybe the funniest turn in the entire show. And Nicki Hayes, who most recently had a role in Funny Money and codirected Educating Rita, plays Flunkit, the king’s flunky and sometime assistant. The production runs on the evenings of Dec. 4, 5, 6, 12, and 13 at 7:30 p.m., with two matinee performances on Dec. 7 and 14 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and for students (with ID) $10, with special group rates also available.

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energyefficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The annual general meeting (AGM) of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society was held at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 on Tuesday, Nov. 18. Members enjoyed a full turkey dinner prepared and served by the ladies of the Legion. Thank you to the team for the delicious dinner. Liz Gemmell and Suzette Forster, both from Gemmellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden Centre, treated us to a delightful presentation. Liz brought several plants, which were used as centerpieces for our tables. Members were instructed on the care of these traditional Christmas plants. The plants were given as door prizes. Thank you Liz and Suzette for taking the mystery out of caring for and in some cases extending the life of some species from year to year. We apologize for the error in our previous article naming Gemmellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flower Shop in downtown Smiths Falls as giving the presentation of Christmas houseplants to the Smiths Falls horticultural AGM when it should have read Gemmellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden Centre on Highway 15 North. Jeanne Dagley conducted our elections for our executive and directors. We thank those who put their names forward to serve this year. We have many thanks to give to others who have served faithfully and with enthusiasm for many years and are now taking some time for themselves; Jeanne Dagley has served diligently since our inception ten years ago, Pauline Armstrong

During the parade weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to take the opportunity to promote awareness of the Aviva Community Challenge in which LAWS is a semi-finalist. Come on out to the Santa Claus parade in Carleton Place on Nov. 29 from 5 p.m. onwards for a fun night.

Trudy Trudyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny and has been a good mom to her kittens and loves chasing (toy) mice. She might be the hunter youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting for since so many mice sought refuge in our homes this year. Trudy was abandoned at our shelter with her kittens in May. Her babes have long found loving homes and Trudy is hopeful sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a home with her own special comfy bed before the year comes to an end.

This Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pets no-kill animal shelter. Wish list LAWS is seeking the following items: Clean newspaper, towels and small fleece blankets, bleach, laundry soap, Windex, paper towel, strong garbage bags, cat and dog treats and winter snow shovels. This weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s featured pets We like to share our latest very happy ending story with you of Widget and Twichet whom we wrote about several times during this past year. These two very pretty tabby ladies were with us since last Christmas. It took us a while to get them used to people and win their trust. A huge thank you to the nice woman who took them in her care. We wish them a very happy life in their new environment. We still have a few barn cats available to help you keeping your barns free of mice.

stunning blue eyes. Ping asks nothing more than being close to you and sit on your lap. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real chatterbox and will purr for hours when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with people she loves. Clearly LAWS is not the place she should be. She likes playing with her towels provided. She turns them into her â&#x20AC;&#x153;ownâ&#x20AC;? bed in which she loves to snuggle during recent cold nights. Ping is a real gem of a cat! Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a short/medium hair mix calico cat with lovely soft fur which she keeps very clean. To keep her pretty looks occasional brushing is needed. Trudy comes with extra toes as she is polydactyl. Please open your heart for this sweet girl.

Ping Please meet our very pretty Blue Point Siamese cat Ping, who comes without papers. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about three-yearsold and is gentle, loyal, loving, a real â&#x20AC;&#x153;purry-furryâ&#x20AC;? cat. Ping loves to be held, and she enjoys to gaze at you with her

Poinsettia and other festive favorites Dale Odorizzi

Master Gardeners the flowers open, move it into the display area. During the blooming period, mist the leaves daily. Cyclamen have an attractive compact growth with beautiful swept-backed flowers on long stalks and decorative foliage which is patterned in silver and green. The blooms are white, pink, red or purple. Unfortunately, most cyclamen are composted when they quit blooming. With care, they will bloom indoors for several months and then can be kept to provide another display next winter. It is best to buy your plant in autumn and to buy one with plenty of unopened buds. Put it in a north facing window, in a spot that is cool and away from direct sunlight. A warm room means a short life for a cyclamen. After blooming, reduce watering and stop feeding the plant. Place the pot on its side in a cool spot and keep it dry until July. Re-pot using fresh compost, burying the tuber to half its depth. Place in a cool, welllit spot and water to keep the compost moist.

Norfolk Island Pine is often used as a substitute for a Christmas tree. It is a handsome, easy to grow conifer and is best grown in its own pot where its tiered branches bearing green needle-like leaves can develop symmetrically. It flourishes in cool and light conditions and will grow to reach two metres tall. Keep it pot bound to restrict growth. The main source of problems for this plant is either hot, dry air or too dry compost. Too much sun and water logging can also cause problems. Christmas cactus are an easy care plant that can live for more than 50 years. It likes bright, indirect sunlight. Let it dry out before watering. In mid-September, move it to a cool spot that is dark all night. Stop fertilizing and reduce watering but do not let it wilt. When buds form, fertilize and give it more

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After the Christmas tree, a potted poinsettia is the most popular plant of the season and is, in fact a symbol of the Christmas season. In the tropics, the poinsettia is a large shrub. The compact hybrids we bring into our home each year range from burgundy through red, orange, coral, pink and white. When buying a poinsettia, look at the true flowers (yellow and tiny in the centre of the flowering head). They should be unopened for maximum flower life. When you get it home, put it in a well-lit spot, away from draughts and keep it reasonably warm. Surround the pot with moist peat if you can and avoid overwatering it. The azalea is a small woody shrub that is covered in beautiful double blooms of red, pink, white or bi-colour. If you keep the soil moist and the pot in a room with indirect light and an average temperature of 20C, the blooms will last a long time and will likely rebloom for years to come. After the azalea has bloomed, move the pot to a cool room and continue watering. In the summer, place the pot in a shady spot in the garden, keep fed and watered until September. Bring it into a cool room and when

light and water. The amaryllis is a dramatic, spectacular plant. Just when you need a boost, the amaryllis bursts forth into huge, tropical, lily-like flowers in dramatic shades of red, salmon, pink and white, in solid, striped and speckled versions. Leave the top third of the bulb above soil, water when dry and keep in a bright setting. To make the flowers last, set it in a cool place. One of the many joys of Christmas is to brighten our homes with these plants that have become Christmas favorites. One of the most important things you can do when you bring your plant home from the store, is to remove it from the decorative sleeve in which it is wrapped. If you leave the sleeve around your plant, it will soon become waterlogged and the roots will rot. Visit our website at www. lanarkmg.blogspot.com or follow us on Facebook or Twitter @lanarkmg.

Calvary Christian Academy’s auction raises $28,000 Help children stay warm this winter

Laurie Weir ljweir@metroland.com

News – The annual Christmas auction hosted by the Calvary Christian Academy is always a stellar event. Held at the Carleton Place High School, the academy’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” themed silent and live auction featured a large variety of gifts for every budget. “We have a little bit of everything,” said Jenny Erwin, the show’s coordinator, and a parent of two children at the academy. This is her fourth time organizing the event. “It usually brings in about $25,000 to $30,000,” she said. “That helps us grant bursaries to help with tuitions.” This event, and the Where’s Franktown fun run in the spring, are two of the school’s largest fundraisers. Erwin said they couldn’t do it though, without the overwhelming support of the community. This year, the event raised $28,000. “We have a silent auction and a live auction and there are a number of items here that people are eager to bid on for Christmas gifts,” she said. From hockey tickets to home décor, children’s toys to restaurant gift certificates, the list of items was plentiful. Barbara and James Kalil of Pittston said they have come to the auction to help support the community. “It’s great to get Christmas gifts marked off the list,” said Barbara. “That is, if you’re lucky to get the highest bid. It gets pretty crazy at the end,” she added, saying she needed to wrestle her way to the tables to outbid others for items. “It’s a great event.” Even the students at the academy did their parts to ensure the event was a suc-

Food bank usage up 12 per cent over last year: client survey ljweir@metroland.com

News – Of all the things you can count on in life, hunger should not be one. For some though, hunger is a given. Every year in March, food banks across Canada ask participants to fill out a survey, asking them key questions. All information collected helps provide a picture of poverty, Canada-wide. This is called the Hunger Count. Most participants are happy to sit in and answer 10-12 questions, said Wendy Quarrington, coordinator at the Good Food Bank, Perth, which is part of the Table Community Food Centre. It brings forth information that isn’t always so well known. The survey also helps to provide recommendations that compare year to year. This year, there is a 12 per cent increase in visits over last. “Three years ago, we saw 25 per cent increase in our number of visits,” she said. The Perth food bank serves an area of Perth and district, a population of 17,000. This means that of this population, 7,500 people visited the food bank last year alone. Across Canada, according to the

Hunger Count document for 2014, 841,191 people have turned to the food bank each month and more than onethird are children. Close to half are twoparent families. Provincially, Ontario’s totals are by far the largest with 374,698 people assisted. The second largest is Quebec with 156,895 visits to a food bank. “We are seeing an influx of seniors,” Quarrington said of the demographic of visitors to the Perth food bank. “Very old seniors… they have come in for the first time ever having to use any kind of social agency. When they retired, they had a partner… they had no way of foreseeing the hydro and other costs that are escalating. And they have no way to absorb it.” Holding onto that little apartment can become taxing, she said, “and they have no where to go.” Poor people in general, or the working poor, have always just been able to tighten their belts and push through it, Quarrington added. “These numbers are very tragic… seeing almost one million people visiting a food bank… in a country as rich and blessed as we are, it’s tragic.”

Wendy Quarrington Rural Ontario, with a smaller population base, seeing a 12 per cent growth in food bank usage is huge. “It’s not the unbelievable numbers that we saw for two years at 25 per cent three years ago, but it’s still too big of a growth,” Quarrington said. “You just can’t fund raise that amount of money.” They are seeing more students –

kids who are trying to get through the month, either tenting during the summer months, or couch surfing in winter. “Things may have broken down at home for students so they’re coming in here,” she said. Food insecurity is something you can hide pretty well, too, she explained. “You can’t hide being homeless… if you don’t have shoes, people will see that. Being food insecure, it’s like a dirty little secret. It can be hidden easier, which again, when you’re not living in poverty, you really can’t understand someone who is.” Transportation is tougher for rural Ontario. “We offer a delivery service (Tuesday only) if, for some reason someone can’t come in – like for a medical reason, or a mom who has small children. We also have people who are living outside Perth and we bring the food to them, because they may not have transportation or they are relying on a friend who may not be able to do it this month, or not enough gas money.” Money is reality. For the Good Food Bank, they are hoping to set up a volunteer bank – people who are willing to

go out on an emergency case to deliver food. Currently, they have about 120 volunteers in the organization, including at The Table (located upstairs). There are 54 volunteers for the food bank. “Typically, we’re heavier at the end of the month when people are running out of money. We might have 15 or 16 deliveries to people in rural areas.” Poverty has been around forever and a day. There are many agencies who are on board trying to figure out a solution. Living in an “absolutely magical town” of Perth, “it never ceases to amaze me. When I think that Perth can’t get any better, it does every year.” Look at Build a Mountain of Food, for instance. “Hugh Colton’s (Build a Mountain coordinator) journey is about food and all that comes to the food bank.” But every Canadian has to be on board, she said. “They need to say, ‘We’re not going to let this go on one more day.’ But until that day, it’s going to continue and (food bank usage) is going to grow. We’re seeing middle class people coming in using the food bank who, two years ago they were donating to us.”

Museum in holiday spirit with new exhibit and tours tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Matheson House Museum in Perth. The museum has a new exhibit called Hearth and Home for the Holidays and will also be starting festive tours in December. The display shows quilts from the museum’s own collection as well as two from the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in Almonte. The centerpiece is a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments by the Lanark County Quilters

Guild. Also on display are oil lamps and candles. “We decided to light [up] the quilts because they would have been made by oil lamp or candles,” explained Debbie Sproule, administrative assistant. Among the candle display is a courting candle. “When you were together you would light it, when you and your beau were apart, you put it out and when it was finished your courting time was over and it was time to get married,” Sproule explained. The display is on until the end of December.

Starting in December the museum staff invites you for the holiday season to enjoy special seasonal guided tours of Matheson House. “You can learn about how Christmas was celebrated back then,” said Hailey Mahon, heritage tourism assistant. “We will be tying in Perth and the Matheson family,” added Sproule. The tours will run on Wednesday to Sunday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and will be led by costumed staff through the decorated Matheson home. The tickets are $5 per adult

or $25 per family, drop-ins are welcome but pre-booking is recommended. The museum is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.

Yuletide Fair at St. Paul’s

SANTA From front page

News – The United Church Women of St. Paul’s, Perth, held their annual Yuletide Fair on Saturday, Nov. 22. It’s a fundraising effort for the UCW, and the women said there was a flurry of activity early in the morning. The sale offered hand-made items and baked goods for sale. At left, Cathy Berry takes her grandchildren Aleah and Keira Berry Christmas shopping. Below, Elaine Scott and Dawn Hodgins show some baked goods that weren’t long to fly off the tables.

rule forbidding throwing candies. “We have been enforcing that for 15 years,” said Mahon-Fournier. In the past, there had been “little kids… running out into the street to pick up a candy that landed in the middle of the road,” providing a safety hazard. Another safety concern is that of drivers wanting to keep warm, idling their car along the parade route, watching the parade go by. “If they (the town) wants to control that, that has nothing to do with us,” she said. On the day of the interview, the ground all

around was green, the snow from the previous week melted by temperatures in the mid-to-high teens and rain. “It’s always nice to have a bit of a dusting” of snow for the parade. Those thinking of putting an entry into this year’s parade “can register right at the form-up,” but early birds can either email her at sherisells@ hotmail.com, or by calling 613-812-1215, or fax at 613-264-0776. You can also pick up registration forms or make a donation at 2 Wilson St. Registration is $10, and all floats must be decorated.

New councillors get back to class before swearing-in sessions next month News – It’s not us and them. It was back to school for newly-elected and returning members of municipal council from across Lanark County last week, as they converged on the Lanark and District Civitan Club hall in Lanark Highlands Township, for a crash course in municipal politics. While acknowledging that a clean broom does indeed sweep clean, the joint council orientation, sponsored by the Lanark County Clerks’ Association, stressed that collaboration was key. “We have to work together as a team,” said Carol Church, from the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing’s Municipal Services Offices’ east division, during her presentation on Thursday, Nov. 20. “It is not us versus them. We all want a better municipality.” The class saw some of the new faces appearing soon at a council table near you, like newly-elected Carleton Place councillor Theresa Fritz, to former and soon-to-be returning Mississippi Mills councillor Jane Torrance, to newlyelected Lanark Highlands Mayor Brian Stewart, whose term as deputy mayor is coming to a close. The lengthy, exhaustively in-depth meeting gave new councillors just a taste of meetings that awaited them, with Church offering advice gleaned from more than two decades working for municipalities. When it came to making information available, “make it as available as possible,” she urged. “It is one of the basic tenants of the Municipal Act,” she said, before hastening to add that it also needed to be balanced off with privacy legislation as well. Another helpful piece of advice that can even trip up experienced political hands was the use of the words “shall” and “may.” They may, so to speak, not seem like a huge difference, but they can make a big difference in the eyes of the law. “If it says, ‘shall,’ you have to do it,” Church said. “(If it says) ‘may’, it is optional.” Before seeing politics up close herself, she admitted that she, like other voters, looked at town hall and wondered, “What do they do except collect taxes? Oh, yeah, they pick up garbage and plow my street,” but, beyond that, discovered that there is so much more that goes on. “Consult staff before you make changes to policy,” Church said. Sounding like an orientation lecture for new college or university students, she urged the newbie politicians how “important (it is) to make sure you are on top of that (readings) so that you can make informed decisions.” If stacks of briefing books and documents seems too ornery, by creating good relations with staff, you may be able to “ask them to do summaries, instead of reports.” She also warned that “you have budgets coming up very quickly,” and that decisions, “both popular and unpopu-

lar,” would need to be made. Quoting the old line – also made popular in one of ex-Beatle George Harrison’s last songs before his 2001 death – that “if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there,” she underlined the importance of strategic and forward planning. If a voter is complaining that their street needs to be paved, consulting with staff and seeing that it is on the priority list will give the new politician the information they need to say, “It is on our schedule for 2016… you are giving them what they want, just not at that time.” With the first of the baby boomers, born in 1946, having started to retire at age 65 in 2011, staff succession planning, especially for positions like clerks and treasurers was another important consideration for the next term. She predicted that “a significant number of them” will retire in the next five years, especially after this year’s municipal elections. “I wish I had a nickel for each clerk who told me, ‘That’s it! That’s my last election!’” she said to laughter from the audience. While qualified staff may be

hard to replace with competent people at the best of times, staff members may also leave with untapped “institutional knowledge,” that literally walks right out the door on retirement day. Church herself served one municipality for 20 years, and “I still get calls,” she said with a laugh, though, with the passage of time, such calls are getting a little on the absurd side. “I say, ‘my memory is starting to fade. That was 14 years ago,’” she said. With this upcoming turnover, “people with experience will be in high demand,” and, as such, they will be in a position to request more money. She suggested that councils “grow your own,” by lining up replacement staff ahead of time, in anticipation of upcoming retirement dates. Municipal councils are creatures created by the province and are covered by the Municipal Act – which has about 400 sections. “The likelihood of you getting through that before your first council sessions are slim,” she said, since most council swearing-in ceremonies will be held on the first week of December. But she did urge new and returning

councillors to read up on conflicts of interest. “It can get you into a lot of trouble if you get it wrong,” she said. “You need to make a decision if you are in a conflict… Staff cannot offer legal advice.” She urged them to contact their personal solicitor, rather than the municipality’s solicitor. “Get advice in writing from your own solicitor,” she said. “That will go a long way if you have to defend yourself. It is a bit daunting at the beginning.” Other advice offered that evening ran from the large – that new councillors looking to change the world had to realize that they could not pass laws that change or even overlap federal or provincial jurisdiction – to more mundane, day-to-day details, like using online versions of bills rather than those published in book form, since online bills are more current and up-to-date, to even minutiae like library boards not being able to borrow money without council’s consent – though, “otherwise, they run their own show,” and, are covered by their own provincial act.

Four area dancers set to perform on NAC stage in The Nutcracker second time auditioning, she admitted being “just a little nervous.” Jaclyn’s younger sister, Charlotte was too sick to try out for last year’s production; however, next month the nine-year-old will play a mouse. She has been dancing for approximately five years. “I was nervous to try out,” Charlotte, “but my sister gave me some good advice – to stay calm and do my best.” The siblings reside with their parents in Lanark. Hearing she was cast as a soldier, 12-year-old Victoria from Beckwith was “shocked and excited.” Since the age of three she has been with the Rosemary Breman School of Dancing, studying tap, modern, ballet, jazz and high-

Entertainment – What happens when a mouse, rat, party girl and soldier from Lanark County get together on stage in Ottawa? If it’s the National Arts Centre (NAC) Southam Hall stage then four students from the Rosemary Breman School of Dancing in Carleton Place will interact with professional dancers and gain invaluable performance experience as they dance the Alberta Ballet’s The Nutcracker Dec. 3 to 7. Breman’s students, Jaclyn and Charlotte Stewart, Lilah Nezan and Victoria Nichols auditioned for the show in October, along with 176 other dancers. They were cast together with 56 others. Jaclyn, 11, was in the timeless holiday classic in 2013 when the Winnipeg Royal Ballet performed it at the NAC. At that time it was her first professional production, playing the role of a party girl. She will repeat the part this year. Jaclyn has been with Breman’s school for the last six years. “I am happy and excited,” Jaclyn said, when asked to describe her feelings on being recast in The Nutcracker. And even though it was her

land. “It’s every little girl’s dream to be in The Nutcracker,” Victoria said, “and it’s all coming true.” Mississippi Mills’ Lilah, 12, was “surprised and very excited” to learn she would be performing the part of a rat in the show. “It’s a huge achievement to be in The Nutcracker,” Lilah said, “and I find it very inspiring to watch the professional dancers from the Alberta Ballet.” Lilah’s mom was a student of Breman’s years ago. Breman called her girls hard workers and very dedicated. “Their parents are also dedicated,” she said. “Without them they wouldn’t have this opportunity.” She said she is proud of her girls, knowing “they will be truly

amazing on stage.” Breman will be attending one of the scheduled performances. Southam Hall holds just over 2,300 people. On the subject of guarding off opening night jitters, Victoria said she would just go over the dance in her head, “and of course, remember to breathe.” Rehearsing for The Nutcracker is steady: two hours every weekend leading up to the performance. “The week prior to the show they are practicing each day,” Breman said. All rehearsals are held in Ottawa at The School of Dance. Not only can the girls put The Nutcracker on their performance resume, “it boosts their confidence,” Breman said.

Baking up memories

pinion - This time of year is when I feel the absence of my grandparents most keenly. I don’t know if it was because the cold snap and snow we had in mid-November got me thinking about Christmas a little sooner than usual (rather than Dec. 23ish), but I have found my feelings of nostalgia cropping up already. Plus I was just talking about my Nan last week and her chicken cacciatore. In my humble opinion, grandparents are the best, and that notion seems to grow in my mind with each passing year. My grandparents have been gone for a long time. My maternal grandmother (Nan) and my paternal grandfather (Granddad) passed away in the mid-1990s, and my paternal grandmother (Grandmom) died just after Girlchild was born nine years ago. My maternal grandfather died before I was born, so I didn’t know him. One of the best memories I have of my grandparents is sleepovers. I loved visiting Grandmom and Granddad’s house in the country, where we would go for long walks on the concession roads with their two black poodles (Muffet and Bitsy). They had raspberry and blackberry bushes, and Grandmom made heavenly brown bread with homemade jam on it. I’ve never mastered the bread, but I still remember the taste of it. I remember the intricacies of that house: the layout, where I slept, the way it smelled, the way the huge ivy grew around the doorframe in the kitchen, the cosy basement with the woodstove. Granddad used to get kindling from the sawmill down the road, and I would spend hours building log cabins with it beside the warm stove. They moved far away when I was eight or nine, and I missed them. Every time I passed their old house I would think of the happy times we had there. Nan lived in town and we saw her frequently. At her apartment I slept on a pull-out couch, but sometimes we would decide not to pull it out. That’s when I would pretend I was in a bunk in a train or a ship travelling to some far-off place. In the morning we would watch Star Trek over breakfast. She had an eight-track, too, and we’d listen to some of her favourites. Nan was a fixture at Sunday dinner, often preparing it (and scaring my mother with the pressure cooker on occasion). There was no shortage of treats when Nan was around.

Past Deadline STEPHANIE GRAY

Chocolate chip cookies, various kinds of muffins, date squares and a range of pies found their way to our house. Some family favourites emerged from those Sunday dinners, too. Thanks to Nan, I’ve got the chicken cacciatore and an awesome spaghetti sauce down pat. Roasts, hams, poached salmon – she knew how to cook! To this day when I make banana muffins I pull out her handwritten recipe, even though I know it by heart. Probably that’s another reason why Christmas makes me nostalgic for my grandparents – food. I would say three quarters of the things I bake at Christmas come from recipes handed down from my grandmothers. Grandmom and Granddad moved back to the area when I was a teenager, and when I was in university a new tradition started. Just before Christmas I would go to their house in Smiths Falls to bake fruitcake from my grandmother’s family recipe. Grandmom’s recipe is one of those pieces of paper that lists the ingredients and says “cook until done.” Slightly cryptic. So she taught me how to make it. There is an art and an order to the mixing. You have to know when it the consistency “feels” right. Same with her shortbread and jam tarts – she showed me how to feel its readiness. I have added a few scribbles to the recipe cards – oven temperatures and estimates of cooking times and such. Granddad would sit in the living room and listen to us in the kitchen. He insisted on buying all the ingredients – this was important stuff. While the cakes baked (and they take a long time) I would join him and we would talk and talk. I don’t make the fruitcake every year, but my Christmas baking always includes recipes from my grandmothers. These recipes, by the way, are not in any way conducive to weight loss, but in this case I don’t mind. Miss you all.

Community - Perth’s Festival of Good Cheer was well attended on Friday evening, Nov. 21. Fireworks lit up the night sky, alighting from the Drummond Street bridge. Sponsored by the Downtown Heritage Perth BIA, families enjoyed music, and a bonfire and Crystal Palace was opened featuring community Christmas treats. This all helps ring in the Christmas and shopping season.

Big boys can be just as smitten as girls sometimes

ig burly boys - you know, those tough guys with tats and all that - are just as smitten as girls when it comes to baby animals. I’ve been fretting about a momma cat and her two kittens for some time now. Momma made her appearance at my place in the summer – belly swollen. I knew there would soon be kittens running around the yard. Trouble was, I couldn’t get near this feral little beast. I admired her beautiful tabby markings, and those eyes that could melt the toughest of hearts. She didn’t look much more than a baby herself. Soon my guy and I noticed that she’d had her kittens, but we weren’t sure where they were. Momma was still running around – or through – the back yard, but there were no signs of the little ones. I had tossed out bread crumbs, or sometimes extra cat food. I really didn’t want her taking up residence near my house, but I felt guilty for not feeding her. Don’t do it, my own mother warned

LAURIE WEIR Weir View me. Mom and I are both “parents” of rescued animals. Each of us has two shelter cats. What’s one more, I said. Well, we soon found out that momma cat had two little bundles of joy: a total grey one, and a pure black one. These guys were just too cute! But we still couldn’t get near them. I watched in awe one day when my guy was sitting on his deck, momma kitty at his ankles, swirling around him, looking for affection – and food. She got both. It wasn’t long before he was able to feed all three cats. They became regulars as our own dinners cooked on the barbecue. The little ones though, were still skittish. They would only come to the dish af-

ter my guy placed it on the ground and walked away from it. At least they were being fed. We both slept better knowing they weren’t hungry. Weeks went by and there was the odd sighting of the cats. Maybe someone was able to tame them and get them in out of the cold. I was content with that thought, as it was better than the alternative. I hadn’t thought much more about the furry little beasts when my guy came home from visiting his neighbour the other night. He was excited to tell me a “good story.” He was happy to report that the kittens and their mom had found a home – just on the other side of our back yard. Turns out, our other neighbour had been feeding the cats all along, and he had fashioned an outdoor home for them all. I don’t know what is more endearing… these little critters, or my big, tough guy and his even bigger biker buddy, who have made it their project to protect these little animals.

Sports teams gear up for winter season at St. John Catholic High School Community - The boys basketball season has started, the teams have been picked, and the boys are working hard to get ready for the preseason tournaments. LCIAA begins next week, and the boys are feeling the anticipation for the game. The annual alumni basketball game will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 17. We wish the boys luck in this game. There will be more information regarding this game, as we get closer to the date. The girls volleyball season has also started. The teams were posted outside the gym last week, and the practices have started. The girls are working hard to get ready for LCIAA. It begins next week. The girls are looking forward to the game, and we wish them the best of luck. Kickoff for the 2014 St. John Catholic High School Angel Tree Campaign begins this week. This is to help teenagers in our community to have a brighter Christmas. It is for the less fortunate homes,

where the families do not have enough money to buy Christmas presents for their kids, or family members. In the Christmas spirit every year, St. John, each classroom takes on a Angel Tree kid. They either raise money to buy a big present for the kid, or they each bring in a present and contribute to making the present together. It is a great way to express the holiday spirit, in making sure that everyone has a present under their tree for them, that makes them feel special, and makes them look forward to the holidays. Nov. 20 to 21 St. John hosted a book sale to raise money for extra-curricular activities in the school. Many people helped and donated the books for this cause. Everyone at St. John appreciates all that you have done. We would like to thank those who organized this event, those who donated books, and those who bought books. We are sad to say, that we are saying goodbye, to one of our teachers here at

DEAR EDITOR:

Visiting Smiths Falls hospital (recently), and talking to the spouse of a man in to see the specialist, it occurred to me that many skip common sense and guidelines when visiting a physician, especially a specialist. Your family or primary doctor will refer you to a specialist; you wait a week or two, or a month or two, and finally get in to see him or her. In the meantime, you’ve forgotten all of the things that happened. This is why I counsel all of my clients to visit a doctor with your spouse, a family member or a family friend. In case you do not have anyone to accompany you, you can talk to Community Home Support in your area and ask for a volunteer to go with you. I have done this many times. I’ve been with clients to see a family doctor, the Pain Clinic in Ottawa, the Heart Institute, a Communicable Disease specialist, as well as other individual specialists. What I’ve found is the busy specialists often fail to speak slowly and clearly, rushing through to

get to the next client. They have no idea if their patient understands what they are saying, either due to dementia (a hidden symptom for many people) or a physical barrier, such as a hearing impairment. It is up to us to ask the right questions, get answers we understand, and feel valued. What might be causing my signs and symptoms? What is my diagnosis? (Write this down, and ask how to spell it.) Are (other) tests justified to confirm the diagnosis? Which treatment approach do you recommend, or are there other options? What are the side effects from these treatment(s) on my quality of life? What health routines do you recommend to improve my symptoms? (For example, exercise, diet, nutritional supplements, massage, complementary therapies.) Are there others who can provide assistance? (Specialist, pharmacist or a naturopath?) Are there any other sources of funding for these treatments? Jennifer Jilks Perth

Community - For the past five years Maple Key Day Camp has been hosting their annual Santa’s Workshop on the same day as the Perth Santa Claus Parade. Due to overwhelming demand, this year there will be two dates available for “elves” aged four to 12 to make gifts for their friends and family members. “Last year we were overwhelmed with last minute registrations,” says Kristen Widenmaier, owner and director of Maple Key Day Camp. “We decided to run for a second date this year so that, hopefully, we don’t have to turn anyone away. We set up stations with all the required materials and a helpful staff member at each one to teach the techniques. Then our ‘elves’ are free to choose the projects that most interest them to create their gifts.” While the projects change from year to year to accommodate their many returning campers, Widenmaier says the camp staff put a great deal of thought into making sure that each project is something that is not only fun to make, but also to receive. “We want the kids to be really proud of the gifts they bring home, and for parents to be proud to use and display them.” In addition to the gift making, MKDC elves also play holiday games, create an ornament to take home, spend time at the gift wrapping and card making station, and enjoy a pizza lunch and festive snacks, all included in the registration fee. What is an exciting day for the children is also a convenient holiday gift for parents. “While the kids are busy with us, parents take the opportunity to go Christmas shopping for the day,” Widenmaier says. “The programming will be unique to each day, so if families want to take advantage of both days they are certainly welcome to do so.” Santa’s Workshop is being held on Saturday, Dec. 6 and Saturday, Dec. 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church in Perth. Spaces are still available, but advance registration is required. For more information please go to www.maplekeydaycamp.com or call (613) 464-2468. Submitted by Maple Key Day Camp.

Kudrinko was also a finalist for the award in 2011. His nomination this time around focused on the sustainability aspect of the business, energy-efficiency retrofits, as well as his consulting work with the new local food hub.

Commencing several years ago, Kudrinko’s started tracking its energy consumption and refrigerant losses, replacing inefficient compressors and HVAC systems, improving insulation of the building envelope, and retrofitting its freezers with LED lights. Outside of the store walls, Kudrinko’s has installed off-grid solar parking lot lighting, and incorporated ground water bioswales into its recent parking lot project.

Business - Neil Kudrinko consistently thinks about the future when it comes to his grocery store. Now he’s getting recognized for it. Recently, Kudrinko accepted a Generation Next Award from Canadian Grocer at the Food Industry Association of Canada’s Golden Pencil Awards in Toronto. He was thrilled to receive the award, which recognizes his efforts in transforming the family-owned, independent Kudrinko’s Ltd. in Westport, Ont. into a modern energy efficient example of sound business practices. Kudrinko was on hand to accept the accolade, and was lauded for his company’s innovation and making a difference. Kudrinko was chosen from other leaders across the country for the work completed on environmental retrofits to the store at 22 Main St. in Westport. Not only that, but Kudrinko is also interested in fostering more environmental responsibility with others in the industry. “Hopefully, this is along the

Gallery on Gore owner Johanne Lacroix stands in the gallery at 92 Gore St. E. where she and her husband, Kevin Gray, have the work of some 30 artists on display. The gallery opened in May and next month, they will welcome the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Passage from Transylvaniaâ&#x20AC;? works of art by Maria Moldovan.

New Gallery on Gore is an artistic treat for downtown Laurie Weir ljweir@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There is a new gallery on Gore Street where art lovers will find the works of some 30 artists, both local and international, on display. Johanne Lacroix and her husband Kevin Gray have opened Gallery on Gore this year and are happy to say, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going well for them in downtown heritage Perth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are cautiously optimistic,â&#x20AC;? Lacroix said. She and Gray moved to Perth about six years ago, at which time, Gray decided to change career paths from a police officer in the Peel region to a stone mason. He chose Perth to attend Algonquin Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage stone masonry course. Not only is he a stone mason, but also an author with a published book available in the gallery. And he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a pretty good artist,â&#x20AC;? said his wife. Lacroix, a graphic designer, retired from her Toronto life and together, the couple moved to Perth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always wanted to have a gallery, but thought maybe in 10 years or so,â&#x20AC;? Lacroix said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But things just worked out for us to do it nowâ&#x20AC;Ś We love it here.â&#x20AC;? The gallery is located at 92 Gore St. E., and features a variety of pieces, like acrylics, oil works, mixed-media, sculpture, and even glass work. Most of the artists are local with some international artistic flair. While renovating, Lacroix said they decided to let the old stone and masonry work of the building shine through. Their display areas feature works of art hanging on antique doors, and from the brick and stone interior walls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted it to be simple,â&#x20AC;? she said, to help

show off some of the rustic charm. Soon, the couple will have a framing business moving in next door, which Lacroix said will be a great fit. And next month, the art work of Transylvania artist, Maria Moldovan will be on display. For Moldovan, whose journey began in 1977 in Transylvania, she studied visual arts through enriched learning programs in high school. Then she studied painting and ceramics at university. By the time she was 30, she had established herself as a professional. Gray said that the artist moved to Gatineau, Que., for a brief period with her husband, but was drawn back to her home in Transylvania. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A prolific painter, Mariaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brush was rarely dry for the year that she spent in Gatineau. The result is a legacy of paintings that express the essence of her experience of Canada - a turbulent time when both her life and her emotions were in transition,â&#x20AC;? Gray said in an email exchange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that Maria, George (husband) and Matyas (their child) return to Canada, even if only to visit. If not, then I hope they will remember their Gatineau sojourn as an exciting adventure. It may have been a tumultuous and trying time for this wayfaring young family, but to return to the irresistible nautical metaphor, calm seas make poor sailors.â&#x20AC;? Moldovanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paintings are going to be on a special exhibit called Passage from Transylvania, hosted by the Gallery on Gore in Perth from Dec. 5 to Jan. 23.

kept expanding to reflect the times and current trends. The days are long gone when this dance-form centred around country music. From over a decade ago, through to the present time, here are some genres of music that have also played increasingly important roles on the line dance scene: Western-swing, Waltz, Tango, Samba, Salsa, Rhumba, Reggae, Night-Club, Mambo, Jive, Jazz, Gangnam-Style, Fox-Trot, Disco, Celtic, Calypso, Bachata, and other modern trends. Moreover, both instructors confirm that this type of dancing is no longer restricted to being performed in lines only; many are done in circles, contra-formations, diamonds, squares, and other patterns. The benefits of this dance-form are many. In promoting line dancing, Chatterton continues to emphasize that it is truly an activity that is fun to do as well as being good for you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As qualified educators, both Valerie and I appreciate the positive effects and results of this dynamic combination,â&#x20AC;? said Chatterton. This activity is ideal for all ages and is suitable, as well, for both genders. It rates high in its accessibility to all who are interested, as no equipment is needed. No experience is necessary. Please contact Chatterton at 613-6230976, and Penno at 613-623-7110 for more information. Submitted by Hyacinth Chatterton.

Community - So, you think you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dance? Well, the news is good, yes, you can, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to prove it, says Hyacinth Chatterton, speaking for Valerie Penno and herself, who are both active line dance instructors in Arnprior and area. There are classes available at a number of locations in the area, including at the Carambeck Community Centre in Carleton Place where dancers are coming from as far away as Perth and Smiths Falls areas. Line dance steps are straightforward to learn, she adds, and the interesting patterning and sequencing involved will stay with you forever-and-a-day. Through several local and nearby recreation centres, Chatterton offers three beginner/novice classes and three classes at the intermediate level. This reflects an increase of two new classes this term. Her groups use the collective name of The Hy-Liners. Penno currently instructs one beginner class, plus two others with mixedlevel participants. With one new class this season, she has also shown increased participation in her group, called The Valley-Booters. Both instructors agree that a huge bonus for current as well as would-be dancers in this area, is the fact that this form of dancing is very accessible. Chatterton and Penno also point out that the variety of dance tunes used has

Community – For each of us the holiday season has various meanings and priorities. If you are looking for something to give that does not cost any money, consider registering to volunteer with Hospice Palliative Care Services at Community Home Support – Lanark County (CHSLC). The hospice program of CHSLC serves people living with a life-limiting illness and the bereaved throughout Lanark County. There are many choices for volunteers. A volunteer may choose to support those living with illness in the home, the hospital or at the day hospice program. A volunteer may also choose to support the bereaved. The volunteer commitment has a lot of flexibility too. Some volunteers visit clients weekly, some volunteer at the day hospice program once a month and some volunteers take breaks to go on vacation or south for the

winter. All volunteers share the unique gift of themselves with their clients. New volunteers must successfully complete the screening process that includes an interview, two personal reference checks and a police records check. Completion of a free 36-hour Palliative Care Level 1 Certificate or equivalent education and experience is also required. Ongoing information and education sessions are offered to volunteers by Community Home Support where there are many opportunities to meet other members of a very active and compassionate volunteer team that is growing throughout Lanark County. For further information about becoming a volunteer, please contact Rebecca Bowie at 613-267-6400, extension 28 or rebeccab@chslc.ca. Submitted by Community Home Support – Lanark County.

RIDE program begins News – The Ontario Provincial Police will be out in force during the 2014 holiday season to prevent unnecessary deaths and injuries by encouraging all motorists to drive responsibly. The Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign will begin on Nov. 24 and run until Jan. 2, 2015. While the number of irresponsible motorists who continue to drive while impaired by drugs and/or alcohol is small, the carnage and harm they can cause is impossible to calculate. The OPP is calling on everyone to never drive impaired and to discourage others from doing so. If someone you encounter insists on driving impaired, call 911 so the police service of jurisdiction can take the driver off the road before someone is harmed. The OPP is also reminding the public that driving while impaired by drugs other than alcohol is equally dangerous and against the law. OPP Drug Recognition Experts (DRE) will be working over the holiday season to remove these irresponsible drivers from the road as well. OPP officers have seen a worrisome increase in the number of drivers being charged with driving impaired by drugs other than

alcohol. While the equipment that tests your Blood Alcohol Concentration through a breath sample will not detect these other drugs, officers can detect drug use and will charge offenders. None of this will be necessary if everyone uses a designated driver or public transportation so everyone can enjoy the holiday season safely. In 2014 up to the end of September, 5,685 impaired charges have been laid by the OPP. Encouragingly, this is down 17 per cent from the same period in 2013 which saw 6,842 impaired charges laid. However, for the same period, there was a 32 per cent increase in 2014 in the number of drug impaired driving occurrences compared to 2013. The OPP is also reminding drivers that there is no safe amount of alcohol consumption when driving. This is evident every year in the number of warn range the OPP issues to drivers whose blood alcohol concentration falls within the 0.05 to 0.08 range. Those who are issued a warn range suspension immediately lose their licence at the roadside and are not allowed to drive from that point on for a minimum of three days. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

First World War book by major Canadian publisher launches in Perth Dec. 4 Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perth residents will enjoy a rare major Canadian publisher book launch Thursday, Dec. 4 at 7 p.m. at Backbeat Books and Music (6 Wilson Street, at Foster Street) when Fernwood Publishing author Stephen Dale comes to town to share insights into his latest book, Noble Illusions: Young Canada Goes to War. He will be joined in discussion by Hans Sinn, co-chair of Civilian Peace Service Canada. Timed to coincide with the centenary of the start of the First World War, Daleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest book is a fascinating look at a boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; book of a century ago, one that, as he says, allowed him to see â&#x20AC;&#x153;exactly what young men were being told that led them to eagerly sign up for war, and to compare that to the propaganda of today.â&#x20AC;? Dale is a widely published journalist and former Canadian correspondent for the news agency

InterPress Service (IPS) who has written for publications ranging from This Magazine, rabble, and NOW to the Washington Post, Toronto Star and Globe and Mail, while producing documentaries for CBC Radioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ideas. His previous books are McLuhanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Children: The Greenpeace Message and the Media (Between the Lines), Lost in the Suburbs: A Political Travelogue (Stoddart), and Candy from From Strangers: Kids and Consumer Culture (New Star). Noble Illusions has been well received by critics coast to coast, especially given the way it wades through the fog created by historic distance and tells the real stories of veterans who can attest that war truly is hell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now that all veterans of the Great War have died, governments around the world feel they can downplay the horrors of World War I (First World War),

and instead promote a nostalgic, sentimentalized vision of what led young people to war a hundred years ago,â&#x20AC;? says Dale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that Noble Illusions is in some way an antidote to the current governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glorification of war, and its photoshopped version of World War I. My intention in writing the book was to provide a counterpoint to all the cheerleading.â&#x20AC;? One of the most poignant of those stories is that of Harry Patch, the oldest surviving soldier of the First World War, who passed away at age 111 in 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His story illustrates how governments have hijacked veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experiences for their own purposes,â&#x20AC;? says Dale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Patch was eulogized as someone who symbolized â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;a generation that in youth was steadfast in its dutyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and who should be remembered for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;upholding the same values and freedom that we continue to

cherish and fight for today.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Yet in reality, Harry Patch was steadfastly opposed to war, which he once described as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nothing better than legalized mass murder.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; As a sniper during the Great War, he made a pact with other men in his unit to never shoot to kill, only to inflict minor wounds on German soldiers so that they would be sent home. This would have been considered an act of treason.â&#x20AC;? Backbeat Books and Music co-owner Christine Chu says the store is a perfect venue for the launch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Backbeat Books and Musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customers often remark on our cozy, intimate and homey atmosphere, making it the perfect backdrop for an author reading. We are excited to host this book launch for Stephen Daleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest book because we have a special place in our hearts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and on our bookshelves â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for Canadian authors,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Guest speaker Hans Sinn will address the work of Civilian Peace Service Canada (http:// civilianpeaceservice.ca), which works to promote the idea that civilians can be actively involved in the work of peace building. The group states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;To strengthen civilian conflict resolution capacity, Civilian Peace Service Canada is developing a reserve of qualified peace professionals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; unarmed civilians, professionally trained and accredited based on shared core values and proven key competencies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who perform a recognized and valuable element in peacemaking, peacekeeping, and peacebuilding.â&#x20AC;? The Noble Illusions book launch is free. It is sponsored by Lanark Action for Social Change (LASC), a new advocacy group promoting non-violent solutions to conflict and transforming situations of injustice in eastern Ontario.

Lately Sir Charles is trying to tell us that he is eager to be chosen to become somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buddy. He started to rub his body around legs of visitors when paying him a visit, as if he wants to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at me, could I be your favorite furry friendâ&#x20AC;?? He enjoys to be handled, but he will also tell you when he had enough cuddles. He loves food and treats, but his new potential owner should watch how much heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowed to eat. Food is not love. Please give our â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sirâ&#x20AC;? a chance as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for him to leave LAWS.

Baker Baker seems to be very content at LAWS where he resides since early January. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quiet boy with stunning eyes. He loves to see whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming and going and is starting to wonder why he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been chosen yet. Lately heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more active in greeting potential adopters as if he knows, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now or never! Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about two to three-years-old, is very healthy with sleek fur and slim body. Please come and meet this guy; Baker too needs a forever home. Honey Honey really needs a home. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong, young and playful. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a golden/lab mix who needs a strong hand. Honey is a true working dog with a strong will and determination. Honey wants to please. To keep her girlish figure Honey needs plenty of exercise. She knows her basic commands but still needs training to further improve that. Because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very strong and powerful lady a home with small children might not be good at this time. What Honey needs is somebody who is patient who loves her and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be loved back,

who is willing to train her and daily take her on long walks. Honey is worth giving a chance to a new better life in a good home. Please come and meet this sleek young lady. If you have lost a pet and he or she was not micro-chipped, please our website on the lost and found section, or, even better, come to shelter between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Although we have a few excellent volunteer photographers, pictures shown might not always resemble your loved lost pet.

THANK YOU A special thank you to Sheila, Rod and their families for the lovely 50th Anniversary Party. Also thank you to everyone else who helped with the night, with food and preparations.

CARD OF THANKS

THANK YOU D. James MacMillan The family of the late Jim MacMillan would like to thank family, friends and neighbours for their many acts of kindness during this difficult time. We would like to thank Dr. G. Asrat for his exceptional care, St. Elizabeth Health Care, Red Cross, Access centre CCAC, 2nd floor Nurses (Perth site) and the Smiths Falls Civitan Club for all their services that made it possible for Jim to stay home until his final journey was completed. A heartfelt thanks goes out to the following: to Reverend Jeff de Jonge, your comforting words and prayers gave us the closure we needed at this time. To our son-in-law Stacy Robertson (Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fishing buddy), your eulogy was quite â&#x20AC;&#x153;catchingâ&#x20AC;? since this was a favourite pastime of his. I am sure he would have gotten a little chuckle from it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost more.â&#x20AC;? For the many floral arrangements, food preparations, cards, emails, phone calls and visits, they were greatly appreciated and well received by all. We would also like to thank Steven Blair and staff of Blair and Son Funeral Home for all your attention and care. You were a great help. And last, but certainly not least to Jimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Pallbearers: Kerri, Rory, Brendan, Gary, Stacy and Gord. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dadâ&#x20AC;? would have been so proud to know you had taken the last walk with him. Until we meet again â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Friendâ&#x20AC;? Phyllis and family

Catholic school board in good financial position according to statements News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held Nov. 18 at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO has reviewed and approved the financial statements for the fiscal period of Sept. 1, 2013 to Aug. 31. Rob Clayton, senior manager with KPMG, presented an unqualified auditorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report to the board of trustees. Clayton told the board that in KPMGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the CDSBEO as at Aug. 31. The results of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations, and changes in its financial position for the year, are in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles. Director of education, William J. Gartland, was pleased with the budget outcome, â&#x20AC;&#x153;these results reflect the dedication and accountability of all staff and our focus on making resources matter, in particular, for the success of the student in the classroom. We continue to remain focused on providing the best quality Catholic education possible for students in eastern Ontario.â&#x20AC;? The board has also met the balanced budget compliance obligations for 2013-2014, in accordance with Section 231(1) of the Education Act, as well as enveloping provisions placed on special education and board administration expenditures. In addition, 91 per cent of the primary classes in JK to grade 3 had

20 students or less, and 100 per cent of the primary classes had 23 students or less. Board chair Brent Laton, said the finance department worked diligently in preparing the financial statements for the audit committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detailed review and for the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subsequent review and approval. Chair Laton also expressed his thanks on behalf of the board, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is obvious by these results that we continue to place high priority on student success so that every student has the opportunity to achieve their highest potential given the right supports and attention from staff. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased with these results.â&#x20AC;? Holy Cross Catholic School presentation The student choir from Holy Cross Catholic School presented â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Reflection on Peaceâ&#x20AC;? to the board of trustees. The presentation included a rendition of songs and poems with a focus on peace in this month of November, when we remember those who have served for our freedom. Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program The CDSBEO continues to develop and expand experiential learning opportunities for students within our jurisdiction. In particular, the board seeks to increase awareness of the many opportunities available to students through skilled trades and

apprenticeship training. The Ministry of Education has recently released a document, Pathways to Apprenticeship: Options for Secondary School Students, which will play a vital role in the expansion of apprenticeships within the Board, and provide comprehensive information to school administrators and staff to further assist students interested in this post-secondary pathway. Dan Lortie, Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP) co-ordinator, presented an overview of what the new ministry document means for CDSBEO students and programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new document focuses on outlining the benefits of an apprenticeship pathway, as well as defining the options available to learners,â&#x20AC;? explained Lortie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus is on the advantages of starting an apprenticeship early.â&#x20AC;? Technological studies is offered to students beginning in grades nine and ten. Students can then take part in various experiential learning opportunities, job shadowing, career fairs, trade shows and college tours. A co-operative education placement may begin in grade 11 or 12, and student scan also register for OYAP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to become an apprentice, a student must have an employer sponsor to register and train them,â&#x20AC;? noted Lortie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key to a successful apprenticeship link is matching the right student with the right employer. We are trying to jump start careers, and we want to

change the culture of apprenticeships to be viewed as a viable, significant career path.â&#x20AC;? The CDSBEO OYAP program averages more than 325 student participants per school year, and 80 of these students register a training agreement with an employer. Annually, the board also continues to experience an increase in the number of students participating in level one or dual credit programs. Students benefit from the many established partnerships which offer outstanding opportunities for learners, such as the building of camper cabins for the St. Lawrence Parks Commission, and through the many skills competitions held regionally, and within the board. Student Work Study Teacher Initiative The Student Work Study Teacher (SWST) Initiative is rooted in a model of collaboration and a co-learning relationship of the student work study teacher and the classroom teacher. Knowledge, evidence and research inform and expand the understanding of participants, whereby the characteristics of student thinking processes and application serves as the method of learning. The inquiry studies the student experience by documenting the learning experience. Wonderings surface as to how educators might enhance learning for some students, which ultimately may enhance learning for all students. Linda Coughlin, teacher at St. An-

drewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Catholic School, and former student work study teacher, presented to the board an overview of the SWST, and how the program is helping students and educators alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When student voice is heard in the classroom, a safe a collaborative community is built, where student and educator become co-learners, and students support one another in taking intellectual risks,â&#x20AC;? explained Coughlin. The student work study teacher works as a research practitioner to describe student learning through observation, listening, interviews and field notes which documents the observations of the student experience. Using questions and prompts, the teacher uncovers student thinking and analyzes evidence of student learning. The SWST also collaborates with the host teacher and other educators to co-reflect on possible next steps in instruction by sharing relevant and appropriate research and resources. Through the initiative, students experience learning through discussion and interaction with their peers. They are provided with multiple opportunities to apply their learning through engagement in meaningful discourse. When students are given the opportunity to advocate for their own learning, they begin to voice their strengths and weakness within their role as a learner. In turn, this helps teachers guide next instructional steps to ensure the student is increasing their critical thinking skills. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario

A lot of people don’t really want to stand in line and listen to a script, so we’ve kicked it up a notch and are trying to improve each year and deliver more bang for their buck,” she said. “The tour is just wonderful. We’re all like family,” Tunks added.

Community – The magic of the holidays can be found behind the doors of nine homes and one business in the Carleton Place area Saturday, Dec. 6 and Sunday, Dec. 7. This will be when the third annual Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour unfolds, to benefit the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation’s equipment fund. According to organizer Jane Tunks, it’s a way to spread some holiday cheer while supporting a cause all community members use. “The funds go to purchase muchneeded patient care equipment which we all benefit from, really. It’s not just a small sector (of the community), but all of us need the hospital, unfortunately,” she noted. The tour opens on Saturday evening, Dec. 6 from 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 7 during the day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tunks is pleased to note that this year, there are eight new homes on the tour, ranging from newer builds to heritage structures. “We’ve got mansions and bungalows, newer builds and heritage homes and once again, they will all be over the top decorated,” she commented. “…There’s an eclectic mix and something for everyone.” She said the hours were designed so guests can spread the visit over two days if they wish. Homeowners will be on hand during the tour to show visitors their homes and answer questions. Tunks said this adds a personal touch to the event that people

Some of the homes featured on the third annual Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour, Dec. 6 and 7, clockwise from top: 3036 Moonlight Bay Road, 605 Quarry Road, 77 Lake Avenue East, 45 Bell Street and 31 Nelson Street West.

The homes The first stop on the tour is at 3036 Moonlight Bay Road off the 9th Line in Beckwith. After purchasing a cottage at the property, homeowners Bill and Gayle Bruce built their dream home on the land in April 2004. Celebrating Christmas has always been special for the couple and angels have been an inspiration in their holiday decorations. Gayle remembers years ago having a discussion about guardian angels with a friend. She wondered if she had a guardian angel, but the question was put to rest when she opened a present to discover an angel ornament. To this day, none of her family members know where the present came from. “So I’m very passionate about angels,” Gayle said. Florals at this location will be provided by Petals and Paint. House number two is at 31 Nelson Street West in Carleton Place, which is always glittering for the holiday season and is owned by Tunks and her husband, Steve. The open concept bungalow may not be heritage, but once guests step inside, they will be enveloped with the holiday spirit and 26 different themed Christmas trees, with the favourite of the

homeowner taking top spot in front of a large window. Tunks said her home has been featured on the tour for the past two years, but this will be her last as she focuses on attracting different houses. The Floral Boutique will provide holiday pieces at the Tunks home. Built by homeowners in 2004, 605 Quarry Road features three large bedrooms and a nice mix of new and old. Much of the décor is centered around one of the homeowner’s jobs which allows him to travel around the globe. “There are African style masks from Togo, Haiti and Senegal,” noted the tour brochure. “He has also returned with a beautiful handmade tinsmith mirror from Jordan and paintings from Iraq and Thailand.” Watercolours from Ottawa artist Muriel Haigh can be found throughout the home as well as an ever-growing family of snowmen around the holidays. The Christmas tree will feature treasured ornaments collected over 23 years. Petals and Paint will provide the florals at Quarry Road. The fourth stop is an historic home at 45 Bell Street, which was originally occupied by the First Nations People of the Algonquin Tribe. It was known as Hurd’s Hall and also was a venue for town council, high school classes, a bakery and the Masonic Lodge. Purchased by the homeowner in 1994, extensive renovations were done in 200 and 2006 and the home has become a staple for many holiday dinner parties and traditions. See TOUR page 55

Kory Earle named president of People First of Canada exclaimed. “It is with much pride that I congratulate my friend, Kory Earl,” Carleton Place Coun. Jerry Flynn, deputy mayor-elect, said. “Kory’s progression started at the grassroots level of People First, and with each step he has left a huge impression on all who have come into contact with him.”

tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – Kory Earle is the new president of People First of Canada (PFoC), elected to a three-year term in Winnipeg on Friday, Nov. 14. By majority vote, the Carleton Place resident defeated the organization’s longtime leader Shane Haddad. “It only took 15 minutes to hear the results, but it felt like forever,” Earle said last Wednesday, Nov. 19. “I had no more fingernails.” Of his win he was shocked, and “the tears wouldn’t stop flowing.” “I didn’t think I had it in me to defeat the current president,” Earle said. A national non-profit organization, PFoC represents people who have been labelled with an intellectual disability. “I have the utmost respect for Shane,” Earle said. “I thanked him for his service to People First of Canada. There is no doubt he made an impact.” Following a celebratory banquet on Nov. 15, Earle chaired his first national meeting the next morning. “It felt so good,” he said. Ottawa’s Dewlyn Lobo was elected People First of Canada’s second vice president. “There will be two of us on the board from Ontario,” Earle said. “This is significant.” Even though PFoC’s head office is in Winnipeg, Earle will continue to reside in Carleton Place, working from home. “There are only two national board meetings a year where everyone must gather in Winnipeg,” he explained. “In the meantime there will be a lot of conference calls.” Earle will be working with PFoC executive director Shelley Fletcher, community inclusion and resource co-ordinator Cath-

Carleton Place resident Kory Earle was elected president of People First of Canada on Nov. 14. erine Rodgers and administrative assistance Lora Beddall. There is no compensation associated with the presidency; however, expenses when on the road are covered. The first order of business for Earle is the review of PFoC’s bylaws, looking at term limits. “Right now individuals can run in a position for years,” he said. “This needs to change.” Earle added a bylaw committee has already been formed and membership is impressive: PFoC founder Peter Park and former leader Gordon Fletcher, Richard Ruston of People First of Ontario (PfoO) and more. Earle is the former first vice president of PFoC, immediate past president of PfoO and for-

mer president, executive director and co-founder and honourary member of People First of Lanark County (PFoLC). Success Of his win, Earle said, “It is beyond a dream come true, and I now have an opportunity to make a difference on the national stage.” “I am overwhelmed with excitement.” Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc wasn’t surprised by Earle’s win. “Kory is determined and persistent – two very important characteristics of a leader,” she said, “and he has a proven track record – not only with his work in Carleton Place but beyond.” “Congratulations!” LeBlanc

Gratitude Earle thanks the provinces and territories for the confidence and trust they put in him. “They elected someone who will get the job done,” he said, “and I will not let them down.” Others thanked included family members, friends, co-workers and local politicians, businesses and media outlets. “My mother has truly been my rock,” Earle said. “She knew I would win, telling me it was my week to shine. She is so proud of me.” Encouragement also came from Diane Sexsmith, PFoLC’s executive director, who is a best friend of Earle’s, providing him with guidance each day. “I also want to publicly thank mayor Wendy LeBlanc and Coun. Jerry Flynn for their endorsement,” the new president said. “Also, how many people get complimented by the mayor in front of council?” Earle thanked the Carleton Place community for its undying support. “I am proud and humbled to come from a town that truly believes in me,” he said. “No matter where this new job takes me, I know where my home – and heart is.” “I know Kory will take his vision, his leadership skills and his experience to this new position,” LeBlanc said. “And he will do a wonderful job as People First of Canada president.”

New gates installed at Lower Beveridges lock station Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Like a sleeping creature of the deep aroused from its slumber, one of the Tay Canal gates has emerged from the icy waters to the surface for the first time in 16 years. Two gates at the Lower Beveridges lock station, where the Tay Canal meets the Rideau

Canal, just outside of Port Elmsley, Drummond/North Elmsley Township, were replaced by a Parks Canada crew on Thursday, Nov. 20. The water wear-and-tear of 16 years of rising and falling water levels against its sides were evident as a crane hoisted one of the gates into the frigid, crystal blue winter skies.

According to a press release from Parks Canada communications officer Paul Galipeau on Nov. 18, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rideau Canal gates are hand-built from Douglas fir by Parks Canada staff in Smiths Fallsâ&#x20AC;Ś They can last about 20 years ago and follow a design that has remained largely unchanged over 180 years.â&#x20AC;? One thing that has changed in

180 years is an added emphasis on recycling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old gates are returned to Smiths Falls for disassembly and old hardware is salvaged for reuse,â&#x20AC;? Galipeau wrote. In a later telephone interview, Galipeau reported that, normally, Parks Canada replaces about three sets of gates per year, though Lower Beveridges is the

only replacement planned for this year. Last year saw replacements at Kingston Mills, Chaffeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lock, and at another location. The gates were transported to DNE under OPP escort from Smiths Falls. Stop locks were put in place and the water pumped out to accommodate the move, with the gates being removed one by one.

These gates were last replaced in 1998, and annual inspections are done on all gates and facilities on the Tay and Rideau canals since â&#x20AC;&#x153;quality of work can vary,â&#x20AC;? he said, though some gates installed along the canal were installed in the 1980s and are still in operation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are built to last,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Picture the animals News - Mel’s Farm and All Animal Rescue benefited from a photography session at Laura Jane’s Pet Food and Supplies in Perth on Saturday, Nov. 22. The event raised $960.24. The funds will allow Mel’s Farm to rescue “seven scrawny hound pups and one lucky rat this week because of what we were able to fundraise,” Melanie Young said. Picutred left, Santa had his hands full with this Great Dane, Jase, owned by Aislinn Hall of Perth. They are joined by Melanie Young. Above, Seamus sits pretty for the camera. He’s owned by Ann and Keith Ball of Perth, who said their pet would rather not have his photo taken with Santa.

Lanark County launches book initiative News – One Book, One Community is a library-initiated project that encourages all residents to come together through the shared experience of reading. Through this experience, the community is able to explore a topic in a variety of venues, creating conversation about important and complex issues. The One Book program in October 2015 will be the first in Lanark County and is a joint project among all five libraries plus community partners. The 2015 theme for One Book, One Community will be aging. Lanark County, like most of rural Canada, has an aging population, and the demographic shift is changing the culture of the region. There has been both an influx of retirees from urban areas and a departure of younger residents, making aging a topic of importance for newcomers and families with deep roots alike. While relevant to everyone, this topic has not been the focus of a major initiative county-wide to discuss the possibilities and implications of aging in our region. The One Book program offers an opportunity to create dialogue and potentially spur action on how to embrace and respond to this demographic shift. To encourage community investment in the One Book program, the process for book selection will be opened up to the public. Between Nov. 17 and 30, libraries and bookstores throughout the region will accept nominations for the title, which should be a work aimed at adults, either fiction or nonfiction. A committee will then review the nominations and their own lists of possibilities and choose a title that will work best, considering writing style, community preferences, and availability. A shortlist will be published, with public voting in January 2015. Once a title has been selected, the organizing committee will work to secure the author to speak locally in October

2015, along with a suite of supporting events. Multiple copies of the book will be available at all Lanark County libraries, and local book clubs will be encouraged to select the title as well. Throughout October, there will be events in communities throughout Lanark County, such as book discussions, film screenings, panel discussions, and workshops, all around the theme of aging. The Lanark County libraries are seeking community partners

and volunteers to help put this program together. Whether an organizational representative or a volunteer from the public, you may be asked to sit on a subcommittee to work in one of the following areas: • Providing supporting material for the main book selection (additional relevant titles, titles for children and youth, book discussion guides, etc.). • Developing, scheduling and carrying out events on the theme

in October 2015. • Creating marketing materials and carrying out a publicity campaign. • Securing funding through grants and donations and overseeing project finances. If you would like to participate as a committee member for One Book, One Community 2015 or have some level of involvement as a community organization, please contact your local librarian.

Perth and District Senior Craft Fellowship celebrates 40 years Community - On Nov. 22, 1974, the Province of Ontario granted Letters Patent to a new Charitable Corporation, “The Perth and District Senior Craft Fellowship (PDSCF)”. The primary goal of the new organization was “to provide activities for the senior citizens of Perth and District”. On Nov. 22, 2014, PDSCF celebrates the completion of 40 years offering activities at McMartin House to Perth area seniors. The connection between PDSCF and McMartin House began 144 years after the house was built. McMartin House (corner of Harvey and Gore Streets) was built around 1830 for Daniel McMartin, Perth’s third lawyer. The McMartins belonged to a loyalist family that had come to the American Colonies from Scotland in 1773. Mrs. McMartin, an American, insisted that all the materials, including the brick, be brought from Syracuse, New York and it was built in the Federalist style, common to the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. From 1830 to 1875 it was Daniel McMartin’s residence. From 1875 to 1919 it was the office and residence of a local physician, Dr. William Grant. From 1919 to 1970 it was used as the Parish Hall for St. John the Baptist Church. In 1971 the Ontario Heritage Foundation restored the building for use as a Seniors’ Activity Centre and for meetings.

When PDSCF began offering its activities there in 1974, it was simply one of the groups using the recently renovated building. Within three years, however, its relationship with McMartin House changed. McMartin House had been designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1972 and Ontario Heritage Foundation (later called Ontario Heritage Trust) acquired the property in the same year. On April 14, 1975, the foundation turned responsibility for management of the building over to PDSCF. Finding ways to fund the new historic site and Ontario Heritage Property became an important concern. On March 21, 1978, the Province of Ontario added the following articles to PDSCF’s Letters Patent: (j) To maintain and establish an Elderly Persons’ Centre: and, (k) To accept money from Her Majesty The Queen either in right of the Dominion of Canada or in right of the Province of Ontario, for any and all purposes including but not limited to the maintenance and operation of an Elderly Persons’ Centre The minutes of PDSCF’s September 1978 board meeting note that along with the new approval came an agreement that financial responsibility for operating budgets for McMartin House would be “shared by the province, the Town of Perth and the fellowship, 50-20-30 per cent.” Ontario Heritage Foundation/ Trust would continue to be responsible for capital costs and would lease the

property to The Town of Perth, which in turn would sublet it to PDSCF. As of March 31, 2011, the council of the Town of Perth terminated its lease with Ontario Heritage Trust, and PDSCF became the new leaseholder as well as the manager of McMartin House. Some activities that were initially offered proved to be too expensive to sustain. Among these were using McMartin House as a drop-in centre for seniors and providing transportation for seniors to the drop-in centre and to all activities offered. However, after 25 years - as reported in The Perth Courier of April 19, 2000 – PDSCF was still offering seniors “opportunities to play cards, line dance, play pool and take bus trips.” A variety of activities has been offered since then, including bus trips to events at the National Arts Centre depending upon demand. Mary Bowrin, a long time board member who was one of the members who arranged such trips, reports that the first such trip took place on Dec. 5, 1992. Demand for these trips dropped off in the last decade. Activities currently offered include line dancing, Scottish country dancing, yoga, social bridge, board games, euchre, rug hooking, stamp collecting,

book clubs and the friendship club. Once a year, in the January to March period, bridge lessons are offered. Payment of a $15 annual membership fee allows area seniors to join in any number of activities offered at McMartin House. Individual activities commonly charge $1 or $2 per session to cover refreshments and supplies. The largest events offered at McMartin House and open to the community are the annual open house, “Doors Open Ontario” held in July, and the “Nick of Time Craft Show”, held in December. The former brings in up to a few dozen visitors each year. The latter features over 20 of the area’s most skilled artisans in a high quality, juried art and craft show and brings in hundreds of visitors. These events help make the wider community aware of McMartin House and of the mission of PDSCF, which is serving social, intellectual and recreational needs of our mature adult community while preserving the heritage of McMartin House. Revenue from activities helps PDSCF meet its contribution to overall funding for McMartin House, as required by the financial sharing arrangement established in 1978. In recent years, with increasing costs, funding generated from facility rental to tenants provides essential help. Tenants offer a variety of services of interest to seniors, such as acupuncture, facials, electrolysis, massage therapy, quantum touch, art

therapy, psychotherapy, GPS training, yoga, art classes, Open Circle, and Dignity House. Marking PDSCF’s 40th Anniversary One initiative marking PDSCF’s 40th anniversary is our new web site (www.PerthSeniors.ca) that provides detailed information on our activities and their scheduling. There is also an events calendar that lists some external activities of interest to seniors as well as McMartin House activities. Our new logo, which was developed as the web site was designed, is prominently displayed on the site. A second initiative will be PDSCF’s participation in the Town of Perth’s 200th Anniversary Celebration, which will take place in 2016. Although space available is largely in use, PDSCF attempts to respond to demand for new activities. New ideas are welcome, and individuals or groups may write to PDSCF at 125 Gore St. E., Perth ON K7H1J6. Email may be sent to chair@perthseniors.ca phone 613-267-5531. Our office is not staffed continually.

News - A local children’s group is embracing the Christmas season by supporting homeless youth in the Perth area, and they are encouraging the public to help, too. BG Club is a free program for children ages 4 to 11 hosted by Glad Tidings Pentecostal Church. This year they are collecting donations of goods and cash to help support homeless young people through Cornerstone Landing. “In the past the children have participated in events such as carolling in the community or by seeking donations for food banks,” explained Teena North, BG Club coordinator. “This year they are supporting Cornerstone Landing by doing art work and other activities to raise funds to contribute to gift purchases. They are eager and excited about this new adventure they have taken on.” Cornerstone Landing is a communitybased, non-profit, charitable organization that provides assistance for homeless youth to keep them in school. “Members of our community may be surprised by the number of homeless youth we have here,” explained Terrilee Kelford, vice-chair of Cornerstone Landing. “Homelessness in small communities is invisible. You won’t see our homeless youth sleeping on streets because they are too embarrassed to be seen. Although we know some of them have to sleep outside in the bush and public parks, most of them couch surf

Perth Blue Wings look to pop the umbrellas to ward off rain in EOJHL Laurie Weir ljweir@metroland.com

Sports - The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold off the Shawville Pontiacs Friday night at home as they dropped a 7-3 decision in EOJHL action. After a one-all deadlock following the first period, the Pontiacs filled the second period with four unanswered goals. In the third, Perth came back with their final two markers after Shawville lit the lamp on two more occasions. Scoring first for the home team was Kyle Dowdall in the opening period on a power play from Bryan Fancy and Conor Rolland. In the third, Cameron Cornwall scored once and Dowdall added his second of the night. Assists were credited to Bradley Stitt, Kyle Weedmark, Cole Timchuk and Calvin Wheatley. Shawville was led by Mathew Labrosse and Guillaume Coovi-Siros with two each and singles from Julian Dumont, Christopher Bones and Dylan McNamara. Nicholas Desrochers had the win in nets with Dyland Brindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amour getting tagged with the loss. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night was highlighted by another stellar crowd, and a fundraising effort was held for the United Way. The amount of funds raised was not available at press time, but from the coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standpoint, it was a success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had another great crowd and raised some money for a good cause,â&#x20AC;? Coach Mat Milberry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be nice now to be able to get the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for the hometown crowds who have been so supportive.â&#x20AC;? Renfrew 7 Perth 3 In Renfrew Sunday, the Blue Wings were outshot by the Timberwolves 4020 as they lost their second game of the

weekend, 4-0. Milberry said the score was not indicative of the play, though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The boys are working hard, every day, every shift,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The score was not any indication of how they played.â&#x20AC;? The game was a little on the scrappy side by the third period, as there were 65 minutes in penalties assessed to the Blue Wings â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a game misconduct to the coach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and another 49 minutes to Renfrew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got a little excited,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys deserved a better fate. We had a lot of scoring opportunities. The hockey gods are just not smiling down on us right now... when it rains it pours.â&#x20AC;? After a scoreless and penalty-free first period, Renfrew scored three in the second from Cole Allard, Colin Bradbury and Scott Conroy. The home team added one more in the third as Andrew Ryan scored. The winning netminder was Dane Brumm while Brindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Amour was hit with the loss. The Blue Wings are on the road this weekend with just a Saturday noon game against Metcalfe at the B. Ann Scott Arena. This is the showcase game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lot of top brass at this one,â&#x20AC;? Milberry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance for Jr. A (scouts) to see a whole lot of talent in one place.â&#x20AC;? Their next home game is Friday, Dec. 5 when they host Arnprior at 7:30 p.m. On Sunday, Dec. 7, the team is on the road to take on the Clarence Beavers at 2:15 p.m. On Dec. 13, a few of the Blue Wings will be playing in the prospects game at 1 p.m. in Arnprior. Perth prospects include defenceman Kaleb Bingley, forwards Cole Timchuk, Tyler Murphy and Anthony Scattolon, along with alternate Bryan Fancy.

PDCI senior hoops team finalist

Sports - The Perth and District Collegiate Institute senior boys’ basketball team took part in pre-season tournament action in Ottawa last weekend competing in the John Cullen Basketball Tournament presented by the Ottawa Referee’s Association. In opening round action on Thursday, Nov. 20, PDCI defeated West Carleton with smothering team defense. Although the offense was not smooth and they had only eight healthy players, the Perth effort on defense held their opponents in check and a strong fourth quarter allowed them to finish with a 38-27 victory. Isaac Matthews-Hanna scored nine for the Devils while Danny Forbes added seven and Kyle Major and Brandon Theberge had six points each. In their Friday night quarterfinal game, the Blue Devils took on All Saints from Kanata. The

Perth starters set the tone early and pushed the lead to double digits early in the first half. From there it was a balanced team effort as all 10 players contributed to a 30 point victory and a berth in the semi-final Saturday morning. An early tip-off against the host team from Hillcrest made for a slow start for the visitors from Perth. However, veteran guard Danny Forbes was not about to let the Blue Devils go down without a battle and kept Perth close through three quarters with a variety of pullup shots and strong drives to the basket. His 23 points led all scorers. Post player Pat Dupuis owned the paint at both ends of the floor, playing great defense and chipping in six points while hauling in double digit rebounds. The Blue Devils came on to take the lead in the fourth quarter and Grade 11 rookies Jacob McPhee and

Griffan King both hit two key free throws late to allow Perth to hang on for a 48-46 victory. An exhausted and undermanned Perth squad came up against a tall, athletic squad from St. Mark in the final. The score was close midway through the second quarter until the Devils tank reached empty and the skill and shooting of the Ottawa team took over. Taylor Cafley battled hard to the end, earning double digits in points and rebounds and Isaac Matthews-Hannah added 11 points but it was not enough as St. Mark earned the championship with a 69-37 victory. Perth will use the experience gained over the weekend as they continue to prepare for the beginning of their LCIAA regular season on Dec. 2 and overall were pleased with the character and determination shown as they earned tournament finalists honours.

News - Running through a Winter Wonderland with the promise of hot chocolate at the finish line transforms a regular run into a charmed evening in Perth. The first annual Perth Winter Wonderland 5-km Fun Run takes place Saturday, Dec. 13, falling in line with a special evening planned at the Perth Winter Wonderland at Last Duel Park. Beginning and ending in Last Duel Park, runners will set their sights on the gorgeous light displays sprinkled across the park. As a means to celebrate the holidays, every runner will receive a Santa Hat upon registration and they’ll be treated to free hot chocolate and horsedrawn sleigh rides following the run. “This fun run will get every participant in the holiday spirit,” says Perth 200th Anniversary Advisory Panel chair and Deputy Mayor John Gemmell. The Fun Run will begin at 4 p.m., where runners will run through the park and make their way around a portion of town before returning to the park. The non-competitive run is a family-friendly event, and walkers are also welcome to take part in the event. The cost is $20 per person, $10 for children under 12 or families can take advantage of the $40 family registration fee. Gemmell explains how the Fun Run will act as a fundraiser for the town’s 200th anniversary celebrations slated for 2016. “The 2016 celebrations will be unforgettable,” he says. “But to make it happen, we need to fundraise in order to turn these plans into reality.

Skater church keeps kids rolling into winter season Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Many young people like to “bail” on church, wary of adults acting like “posers,” but the so-called “Skater Church,” at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Perth, has some kids “stoked” about religion, or, at the very least, is keeping them away from any “sketchy” scenes. Now that we’ve exhausted the list of skater slang terms, we revert back to our regular terminology, as the Skater Church gets ready to “shred” (OK, that’s the last one, promise) into a new year. Several years ago, “some young people either broke into our church or found a way in,” said Eric Banford, one of the organizers of the program during a telephone interview last month, as the church prepared for the start of its newest season which started on Halloween night, Friday, Oct. 31. (The church is held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. every Friday from the end of October until April 16.) Well, that did not go over well with the church elders, seeing youngsters turning tricks on their skateboards in the church hall. “They (the church) decided (they) would ban all skateboard-

ers from our property,” Banford recalled. But then, a small, still, but firm voice was heard, and stepped forward. “One of our parishioners decided (that) this was a sign from God,” said Banford. So they felt out local skaters and found a leader in local athlete Thor Stewart as a conduit for the group. “We had some people (who) didn’t think it was appropriate to have skaters ripping and tearing around.” But now, however, “it is the most wonderful thing in the world.” Seven years later, the church is drawing skaters from as far away as Ottawa, Athens, Kemptville, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Perth and Brockville, and kids aged four to 30. The church averages between 15 and 18 skaters each week, but has had as many as 33 show up. In the summer of 2013, they even had 80 skaters from across the country camp out at the church as part of a competition circuit. “You don’t have to be a Christian to come to it,” he said, but admitted that “there is a religious element,” though not very overt, with time set aside to review highs and lows of the week, talk, and some prayer too.

Members of the Skater Church at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church show off their boards during a break in a recent “service.” “(There is) no altar, no crosses. It’s a hall,” he said. “We have non-believers, Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Buddhists, Muslims.” The church is free, and the only commandment, so to speak, is that participants wear helmets – which are available for free if skaters don’t have one. “A lot of them don’t like it,” said Banford. “This is to protect you.” He admits that he has heard from the naysayers, who talk

down the skater church, calling him and his fellow volunteers “bible thumpers,” who believe in “the big fairy tale,” or, worse, “a hoax.” But Banford notes that the skater church is part of a larger movement that has spread across the continent. “Skaters are a family onto themselves,” he said. “It’s like, ‘I don’t know you, but, let’s get together.’ It’s amazing the number of people who have come to-

gether and become friends.” While he has never been a skater himself, “I just started volunteering from the first time it started. I felt it was a very worthwhile thing to do.” Even apart from the religious element, there is a social safety aspect of the church. In a time where the youth centre in Almonte has closed down, the skater church “get them (young people) off of the streets. It provides them with a safe place.”

A safe, and a very loud place, some times, with MP3 players blasting out Christian rock. “It gets pretty loud in there,” he said. “We are not going to get them (youth) into churches today… unless it is uplifting, musically. They don’t listen to fourth century hymns. They will go where there are guitars, drums and joy.” Another positive, if unintended, spin-off of the place is that it allows kids a chance to talk. “Some of them have many problems,” he said. “Once they trust you, it is amazing how they can open up, even in front of the group.” While the youth may talk about, say, a grandparent who has cancer, others are able to talk it out for themselves. “I got four detentions (this week), and I need to smarten up and I want to be a success,” he recalls one young man saying, with the ability to get things off of their chest being just the catharsis – and inspiration – they need. If a child does need more professional help, The Rev. Canon Christine Piper is on hand to help, as she has been trained in social work.

TIRES

Nothing like a rolling stone for this set of wheels BRIAN TURNER

having small stones caught between the treads on tires is no big deal and not likely to cause any problems. However if the right sized and shaped stone gets trapped it can lead to a puncture (however this is rare). Snow tires can be more prone to this because of their wide deep grooves and large block tread design. If, when driving on gravel roads your tires accumulate a fair share of these stones, usually a drive at higher speeds on paved roads will dislodge most of them, especially when the tires flex on corners. If most of your driving is on gravel, the amount of stones shouldn’t continually increase as wheel speed (even on lower speed limit roads) can get rid of most of them. You shouldn’t have to pick them out. As far as I know, transportation authorities are pretty silent on any regulations regarding stones in tire treads and most repair garages will remove as many as possible before performing any seasonal tire changeovers especially if they have to spin the tires on high-speed balancing equipment (for personnel safety reasons). While I know of no studies on the effects of stones on a tire’s ability to channel water or perform its other tasks, I also never heard of any road collisions attributed to this condition. I suspect as your winter and summer tires wear down, this will become less of an issue. In the mean time you may

Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, First of all I want you to know how much I enjoy reading your column in Frontenac Gazette. I’ve been (legally) driving now for 50 years and continue to be amazed about how little I really know about the cars that I have owned and drive, let alone the many interesting things that go on behind the scenes in dealerships and garages around the province and country. As I was digging stones out of my on-rim winter tires last weekend (yes, I got them put on just in time on Monday!) with my trusty old and blunt screwdriver, I started wondering about the need to undertake this thankless task. The task takes me about an hour for four tires. Many of the stones were firmly wedged in there and have had their surfaces worn to the profile of the tire surface…so they’ve obviously been there since soon after my last picking session a year ago! My questions are: 1. How much damage are these stones likely to do? 2. Is removal of stones from tire treads considered important or not by vehicle manufacturers, dealers and safety authorities? 3. How much is there a need to pick these stones out regularly? How regularly? I live on a rural gravel road. 4. How much do embedded stones restrict dispersal of water from beneath the tire as the tread passes along the road? (Have any studies been done on this?) 5. When tire performance and braking distance under various road conditions are assessed, is blockage of grooves in the tire tread taken into account?” Thanks M Thanks for the readership and great questions.

RECYCLE!

The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. 66% of energy is saved when producing new plastic products from recycled materials instead of raw (virgin) materials.

Canadian Federation of University Women Perth & District

The popular Carleton Place family band the Bowes Brothers, from left to right John, Ed, Andy and Rod, are known for their outstanding fourpart harmony. They will offer a Christmas concert at the Carleton Place arena on Sunday, Dec. 7 at 7 p.m. It will mark the Bowes’ seventh annual holiday performance in aid of Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital.

Bowes Brothers plan seventh annual Christmas concert Jeff Maguire

Community – What has become one of the most eagerly anticipated, annual events in Carleton Place takes place Sunday, Dec. 7 when the always popular family band the Bowes Brothers present their pre-holiday concert ‘Home for Christmas’ in the main hall of the town’s arena complex. This marks the seventh consecutive year the four brothers Ed, Rod, John and Andy and their father Clarence will perform popular songs of the Yuletide season, along with some of their most requested tunes, during a pre-Christmas concert in their hometown. Appearing with the Bowes Brothers will be the North Country Show Band and special guests Cheryl Adrain, a veteran performer from Perth and young Carleton Place singer Melissa McIntosh. The Bowes Brothers have has enjoyed another very busy year appearing at fairs and festivals in Lanark County and across the region. In early September they wowed a large audience during the season-opening Tail-Gate Party for the Carleton Place Junior A Canadians, the defending Central Canada Hockey League and Fred Page Cup (Eastern Canadian Junior A title) champions. The pre-Christmas show, however, is near and dear to their hearts. “Doing the Home for Christmas show means a lot to us,” band spokesman John Bowes says. “We are a close family and we feel that Christmas is the one time of year when families in general make a special effort to get together. Sometimes families are only able to be together at Christmas. So it is such an important time.” Bowes says they are thrilled by the public response to their annual holiday performances. “People were asking about tickets in August. It’s become a community event. “You really only sing these songs at this time of the year and I think that has

something to do with the appeal of the show,” he observes. Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are $15 apiece and they are available at several locations (see the end of this article for complete details). As of press-time just 100 tickets were still available for the concert. “Interest is high which is really nice,” he observes. “People should act early if they plan to attend.” All proceeds from the Christmas concert will go to the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation, the organization that raises funds on behalf of Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. Major fundraiser By the time this year’s event is over the Bowes Brothers and their special guests will have raised a total of $45,000 in seven years to assist the local hospital. During the 2013 holiday season the band did three Christmas shows in Almonte, Shawville, Quebec and Carleton Place raising $10,000 which was split among three organizations. The Almonte show was held in support of the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County while the Shawville and Carleton Place performances assisted the Pontiac Hospital Centre and the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation respectively. Bowes notes that the local hospital is especially important to his family and the entire community. “Everyone uses the hospital. It serves the needs of the whole community.” The long-time entertainer gave a personal example while discussing the importance of Carleton Place hospital. “A week after last year’s (Christmas) concert here I broke my leg playing hockey in Ottawa. “The guys wanted to take me to the emergency in Ottawa. But I said I wanted to go to Carleton Place hospital. So I had a friend drive me home to our hospital.”

BOWES From page 57

“It turned out to be a compound fracture that required surgery. So I wound up back in Ottawa anyway,” he laughs. “But there was no way I was going to any other emergency department except ours!” The emcee for the upcoming holiday concert will be Almonte’s Charlie Kitts who was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010 as a builder. Backing up the Bowes Brothers, Adrain and McIntosh will be the North Country Show Band featuring father Clarence Bowes on rhythm guitar, drummer Mark Lemieux from Almonte, Pakenham’s Brad Scott on lead guitar, Matt Brydges of Renfrew on stand-up bass and well-known Carleton Place entertainer Jack Denovan on keyboards. Lemieux too is a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. A true “Band of Brothers” the Bowes remain true to their roots. They were born, raised and still live in and around their hometown of Carleton Place. Many of their songs are written by oldest

brother Ed while younger brothers Rod, John and Andy all take turns on lead vocals. Influenced by some of the greats of the country music industry, the band features outstanding four-part harmony. Youngest brother Andy is also well known for his yodeling ability. The Bowes Brothers have become one of the most popular bands in the Ottawa Valley and Eastern Ontario. They also have a sizeable following in the Maritimes where they have performed together or individually on numerous occasions. In 2010 they were featured at the world famous Calgary Stampede. The Bowes Brothers have earned a place on stage with some of the greats of the industry opening for such major musical figures as Ricky Skaggs, Terri Clark, Michelle Wright, George Canyon, Paul Brandt, Ronnie Prophet, Charlie Major and the late, great Stompin’ Tom Connors. “For this show we will be doing 75 per cent Christmas music,” John says. In 2006 the brothers released a holiday CD, one of five recordings they have made which, appropriately, is entitled ‘Home for Christmas’.

Cheryl Adrain, left, and Melissa McIntosh will perform alongside the Bowes Brothers at their annual Christmas concert Dec. 7. Their latest recording ‘Strictly Statler’, released in September 2013, features the brothers covering many of the hit songs of the ever popular Statler Brothers including such favourites as Flowers on the Wall and Bed of Roses. The Statlers disbanded in 2002. Sponsors vital John Bowes credits the show’s sponsors for making the local concert possible. From the beginning the Christmas

series has been sponsored by the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home. John is a partner in the business. The Barker Funeral Home has been a major sponsor of similar productions for years. Their involvement has led others in the community to join the effort. This year’s sponsor list also includes SRC Music, Bud’s Taxi, Carleton Refrigeration (owned and operated by Roger Holmes) and Valley Granite and Tile.

All the firms are based in Carleton Place. The Carleton Place Lions Club also assists with the show. “Without our sponsors we couldn’t do what we do,” Bowes observes. “We sincerely thank all of them for their support.” Tickets for the 7 p.m. performance in Carleton Place on Sunday, Dec. 7 can be purchased at SRC Music, 124 Moore Street, Carleton Place; the Carleton Place Hospital Foundation office at Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital; Mark’s Cobbler Shop, 98 Gore St. E. Perth or at Nicholson’s Sundries on Graham Street in Pakenham. Tickets are general admission and the doors will open one hour before the show begins! “Don’t miss this show. Last year we had a wedding proposal and a visit from the Stanley Cup,” Bowes laughs. For information about the Bowes Brothers ‘Home for Christmas’ concert and the Bowes Brothers in general visit their website: www.bowesbrothers.com or telephone 613-253-5487.

1941 Ford pickup found in Saskatchewan now has new life with restoration on Manning Road. Keep on trucking! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.

ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column will receive a

free autographed copy of my recent book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

The front end sheet metal is virtually identical to the 1940 Ford Standard. The vertical grille bars on Bob’s truck are painted black in contrast to the brightwork on the hood and headlight bezels. The front bumper has been eliminated for a smoother front-end look while a pair of amber signal lights have been mounted where the bumper supports came through openings in the front fenders. Twin long-stem outside rear view mirrors add a nice touch as well as being very practical. The door handles are still where they were 73 years ago when this truck rolled off the assembly line, and the running boards are still there as well. Note the single windshield wiper on the driver’s side. A passenger-side wiper was an extra-cost option. Other options included a chrome plated rear bumper, grille guard, radio, heater, passenger side sun visor, and locking gas cap. Bob Harrison’s 1941 pickup took three years to rebuild and he put it back on the road this past summer, Submitted photo with frequent visits to the Monday night cruise in LaSalle and the Bob Harrison’s 1941 Ford pickup at the Second Annual Car Show sponsored by Knights of Columbus in Wednesday night cruise at the A&W Maidstone, Ont., Sept 13. Many thanks to Pat and Roseanne Kettels for organizing a great show!

Lifestyle – Bob Harrison of Oldcastle, Ont., has been fascinated with old cars for as long as he can remember. Born in 1950, he was 17 when he bought a hot-rodded 1911 Model T Ford from a man in Merlin, Ont. Bob changed the engine and displayed his car at the 1974 Detroit Autorama at Cobo Hall. Other cool rides followed, including a 1939 Ford, a chopped Model A Ford coupe, a ’33 Ford Vicky, and a 1972 Pro Street GMC pickup. His latest ride is also a pickup, this time a 1941 Ford. A friend of Bob found it sitting in a field in Saskatchewan. Bob bought it and brought it home about three-anda-half years ago. He treated the old truck to a frame-off rebuild including a Camaro front clip, late model Ford 302 V8 engine, C4 automatic transmission, and Nova rear end. The outside has been restored to original, giving us a vehicle with a perfect blend of old and new. The final touch is a set of Coker brand wide whitewall radials with red rims, beauty rings, and moon-shaped hubcaps. It’s interesting to note that whitewall tires were an option available when this truck was new. The finish today is Satin Black. According to “Ford Trucks, 19052003” by John Gunnell, “many people consider the 1940-41 Ford pickups the best looking ever built.”

MOVIE: Mockingjay Part 1 STARRING: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore and Donald Sutherland DIRECTOR: Francis Lawrence RATING: PG Entertainment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided I really dislike trying to review half a movie. This trend of breaking one film into two or more parts is one I sincerely hope comes to an end. Still, you have to review the movie in front of you, and the movie in front of me was still pretty good even if it was only half a movie. In The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 we find Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) struggling to adjust to life in District 13 after destroying the games. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in shock, disorientated, suffering from nightmares, and mentally still very much in the games. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunate though to have her sister and mother with her, along with Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Effie (Elizabeth Banks), and Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), but in her current state sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of little use to anyone. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop Plutarch (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and

My Take MARK HASKINS

President Coin (Julianne Moore) from coming to Katniss. They want her to be the face of the rebellion. They want her to inspire the other districts to fight The Capitol. They want her to be The Mockingjay, but Katniss wants nothing to do with them. Then she sees what The Capitol did to her home. She sees the devastation and the bodies, and she finds the will to fight. With the help of her team, Katniss begins to champion the cause of the rebels, but The Capitol has a champion too. President Snow (Donald Sutherland) uses Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) to undermine the rebels in a war of propaganda. Now the fight isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just to stop The Capitol itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to save Peeta. I may not like having to wait a year before I get to see the whole film, but there are some advantages in doing Mockingjay in two parts. Having that kind of time

and space allows the filmmakers to get deep inside the story. They can take their time to develop the characters and the setting. This does mean the film moves a little slowly, but I like that because it feels like they have truly captured the book. I almost hate to say it because I still havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen it all, but so far Mockingjay Part 1 is the best of the three Hunger Games films. I really enjoy watching this cast. A big reason these films have been so successful is because of how good each actor is at bringing their character to life. Hoffman, Banks, Moore, and Sutherland are perfect. Haymitch is my favorite character, and Harrelson nails it. Liam Hemsworth has Gale down cold, and Josh Hutcherson is mesmerizing as Peeta. Jennifer Lawrence isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an actor, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a force of nature. Her understanding of the character and her ability to portray Katnissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strength, her fragility, her passion, and her struggle is nothing short of incredible. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like breaking movies up into multiple parts, but I still liked the first half of Mockingjay. Mark Haskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; column is a regular feature.

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When was the last time you had a good plate of Christmas lutefisk? Or told your kids exciting stories about the antics of the mischievous Jolasveinar? Or put a wreath with lighted candles on your daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head on Christmas Eve? What, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t celebrate Christmas like that? If you come to see BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Every Christmas Carol Ever Told (And Then Some!), you might just start! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 90-minute whirlwind of laughs and songs and fun that contains enough information, and misinformation, about Christmas to seriously confuse even the most ardent Santaphile. For instance, did you know that Bob Dylan wrote a Christmas story about children near England who live with whales? Or was it Dylan Thomas and Wales? Something like that. Every Christmas Carol Ever Told (And Then Some!), by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald and John K. Alvarez, is terrific family fun, featuring everything from a beagle in a Sopwith Camel to a talking snowman and a rein-goat with a glowing nose. It takes just three actors to dismantle and re-assemble the holiday season in the most fun fashion imaginable. BarnDoor Productions (BDP) mainstays David Bird and Joe Laxton join BDP producing director David Jacklin to take on everything from Charles

Dickens to Jimmy Stewart to fruitcake and have a grand time doing it. Audiences at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the show had a grand time as well and this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production has been honed and tweaked to add plenty of new laughs and fun for all. Every Christmas Carol Ever Told (And Then Some!) is the perfect starter for the holidays, as it contains some reference to just about every holiday tradition you ever heard of â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a good many youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never heard of â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all delivered with BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; patented high-energy, fastpaced style. Come out and have some of the best fun you can have about Christmas, and maybe acquire a new tradition or two along the way. Although we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recommend lighted candles on childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heads. Every Christmas Carol Ever Told (And Then Some!) runs Nov. 28, 29, Dec. 4, 5, 6 at 8 p.m. and Nov. 30 and Dec. 7 at 2 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. There is plenty of free onsite parking available. Adult tickets are $20 reserved, $22 at the door. Students and children get in for just $10! To reserve, simply call 613-2671884. No credit cards needed; cash on arrival at the show is requested. Submitted by BarnDoor Productions.
