DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com The weather could not have been better, if you were a penguin that is, or a red-blooded Canadian looking to make the most out of the abundance of winter weather, after a week that saw an astounding four consecutive days of school bus cancellations in the area, dizzying snow storms and frigid temperatures (and an inexplicable midweek thaw), which proved to be the perfect lead in to the Frosty Fling in Lanark.

The event saw lots of fun for the whole family, including movie night and pizza, dodge ball, balloons, breakfasts, talent nights, lunch with Frosty and jazzy music.

PERTH TO SUPPORT HOSPITAL'S CAPITAL CAMPAIGN WITH ONE-OFF DRAW FROM 2018 BUDGET SURPLUS DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Perth town council will be taking money from its 2018 budget surplus to help in the hospital's 10-year capital equipment campaign.

The decision was made at the town council meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 22, following discussions on what Mayor John Fenik called "financial Friday," at Lanark County council on Jan. 18.

The hospital is looking for $31 million over the next 10 years for capital equipment needs.

"The commitment was for an amount net of the contribution from the county," wrote town hall treasurer Brian Burns in an email to the Perth Courier on Monday, Jan. 28. "I am waiting for a confirmation of that amount," as the county continues to debate its own budget. (Perth Town Hall's

budget passed unanimously on Jan. 22 at the same council meeting.)

"There was some debate," said Fenik, who chairs the county's corporate services committee.

"As chair, you have to remain neutral," he said, so, in order to speak on the matter, he had to temporarily step down as chair so as he could speak out on the matter of funding for all four of the county's hospitals (Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital, and Almonte General Hospital).

"I was fairly passionate," said Fenik of his advocacy for the local hospital.

It was decided that all the Almonte and Carleton Place hospitals, and the Perth hospital campus, would get $100,000 each from the county, with the Smiths Falls hospital campus getting $50,000.

Desmond Devoy/Metroland Town treasurer Brian Burns, left, chats with Deputy Mayor Ed McPherson, right, before the start of the Perth town council meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 22.

Deputy Mayor Ed McPherson said that "we do have to support the hospital ... but we have a few reservations. We can't be expected to support the hospital every year." He added that "I'll do this on a one-time basis.

But not every year."

But McPherson noted that, in 2019, the town would be looking "to fix our asset management plan," and that this added demand on

town finances is, in his opinion, "a health tax. The money comes from taxpayers."

While the town has future demands on its infrastructure (repairs to the Crystal Palace, expanding the landfill, et cetera), "we're all going to feel the pain this year," from the Ford government at Queen's Park.

"I would like to see the hospital come back with a

new, strategic business plan," said McPherson, who also expressed concern that if the county and town kicked more into the hospital, that donors would then donate less to hospital foundations.

Coun. Judy Brown said she was certainly in favour of a donation to the hospital this year, but "it gets harder and harder each year," to keep taxes within the range of the consumer price index, and with infrastructure challenges on the horizon. As for possible changes coming from Queen's Park, "the province is in debt, a whole lot," and, as such, "the premier seems to be on a roll for cutting subsidies," she said.

"None of us have a crystal ball," said Coun. Leona Cameron. "One year seems safe. But I would not want to see it locked in."

Currently, the town does provide the hospital with $10,000 a year to go toward physician recruitment.

Coun. Brock McPherson added that if any other community organization were looking for a decade-long funding commitment, "I

would expect those people to come forward," he said, wondering why it had been Fenik and Smiths Falls Mayor Shawn Pankow who had presented to council earlier this month, and last year, on behalf of the hospital, and not members of the hospital board itself. While Pankow and Fenik represent their respective towns on the hospital board, Coun. McPherson said he wanted non-political board members "to come and have a representative here that we could ask in-depth questions of," he said. Had it not been the hospital, "I would not have agreed" to have heard the pitch.

Fenik pointed out that the hospital board's vicechair, Gardener Church, was in attendance at the Jan. 15 Perth town council committee of the whole meeting, and that the hospital would be providing quarterly reports to the hospital.

Brown said that Coun.

McPherson had "a good point in general" about delegations from the hospital, adding that "they need to do their homework."

PERTH'S 2019 DRAFT BUDGET SEES 2.5 PER CENT TAX INCREASE DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com An anticipated jump in property assessment rates is the main driver behind this year's 2.5 per cent town tax increase.

Town treasurer Brian Burns explained that the total levy is made up of the town's mill rate, plus the property assessment portion, set by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC ), and the county's portion of the final bill. With property assessments in Perth anticipated to rise, on average, by 3.5 per cent, on the strength of new construction and changes in how properties are assessed, that bit alone would result in a tax increase of 3.5 per cent.

However, town hall has committed to keeping tax increases within the consumer price index, which was set at 2.5 per cent as of October 2018. As such, the town had to lower its mill rate by 0.5 per cent.

"It'll depend on property assessment," said Burns, during an interview in his town hall office on Tuesday, Jan. 8. "Essentially, it's a break even (budget).

We're not raising taxes."

Burns added that he has no idea what the school board or county tax rates will be for 2019, but he is already making allowances for likely cuts from Queen's Park.

"I needed contingen-

cies," said Burns. "The provincial government will have to cut funding. We don't know how (much) ...

(But) we've got pretty big exposure," he said, pointing to the nearly $2 million in grants that the town gets from the provincial government.

"We've got a letter saying the OMPF (Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund) is under review," he said, with Perth receiving $1,623,800 in OMPF funding, a large chunk of the town's $1,973,180 in grants.

Another grant that he is concerned about is the $115,000 in provincial money for court security and prisoner transportation town hall receives. The 2018 court money had not even arrived by the town budget meeting on Friday, Dec. 14, when the 2019 budget was presented. (The money has since arrived at town hall.)

Burns has proposed that $394,000 be put into a separate account to buffer against any shortfall in grant funding from Toronto.

The town is also looking to put about $1.2 million into reserves this year, to round out the $15,179,731 budget, which will go to a final council vote Tuesday, Jan. 22. The town had $9.8 million in reserves as of New Year's Eve 2018, and Burns anticipates $9.6 million in the reserve fund on New Year's Eve 2019.

(Minor changes made to the proposed budget last

month included moving about $20,000 from the capital budget to put up more railings for the Terrace on the Tay project.)

Burns described the budget, which passed its first reading last month, as "a kind of a maintenance budget ... a stay-the-course, fairly conservative budget," as there are no big spending initiatives contained within it. The major reason for this is because items like the asset management plan are up for renewal in 2019, as are the recreation strategic plan, and the cost sharing agreements between Perth and neighbouring municipalities Tay Valley and Drummond/North Elmsley townships, have yet to be finalized.

"It's all fixing stuff," Burns said, noting that, for example, $180,000 to purchase breathing apparatuses for volunteer firefighters is one of the biggest spends of the budget.

Which is not to say that there are not big projects on the horizon. According to budget documents, a replacement of the Crystal Palace with a new structure could cost $1.6 million, while required construction of the landfill expansion by 2020 will cost $2.6 million, and $1.7 million is recommended for the bridge and culvert program.

"Be aware that there are these pressures on finances over the coming years," said Burns.

MAN ACCUSED OF THREE COUNTS OF ATTEMPTED MURDER HEADED FOR PRETRIAL DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com

Schuyler has been in custody since the morning of Sunday, Sept. 30. Three people sustained "major" serious injuries at a home on Brock Street South in Perth that morning.

Two women were transported by emergency medical services to a local hospital, and one man was airlifted to hospital by air ambulance that same day.

ROGERS PROPOSES NEW CELLPHONE TOWER LOCATION OUTSIDE MABERLY DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Rogers has changed its exact location for a proposed cellphone tower outside of the village of Maberly.

Following a staff recommendation, presented to Tay Valley Township's committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 15, which requested that Rogers Communications co-locate their equipment on the Bell cellphone tower east of Maberly (which passed), came word on Friday, Jan. 18 that Rogers is now proposing to locate the tower 600 metres further north and west on the Van Alstine property at 472 Maberly Elphin Rd., creating a larger buffer away from the village.

(Rogers documents ob-

tained by The Perth Courier show that an access road will be required to gain entry to the 90 metre-tall guyed communications tower and walk-in equipment cabinet within an enclosed compound.)

"Rogers has listened to the concerns brought forth by the community and in the spirit of co-operation has found a suitable new location on the property to meet its coverage objectives," wrote Eric Belchamber, a Rogers site acquisition specialist. He added that the public's concerns were "reasonable and relevant."

After the Jan. 15 meeting, township staff had been preparing a motion that would have issued Rogers with a letter of nonconcurrence with regards to the tower, meaning it did not agree with the tower,

though the final decision rests in the hands of the federal government.

However, that motion was withdrawn and replaced with another motion, which did issue Rogers with a letter of conditional concurrence, so long as the company provided the municipality with "a survey showing the revised location of the cell tower as indicated in the Rogers letter dated Jan. 18, 2019."

That motion passed during the township council meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 22.

"It's kind of a win-win for everyone," said township planner Noelle Reeve during a telephone interview on Wednesday, Jan. 23. By her count there were about 16 Maberly residents present the night before who appeared "much relieved," with the changes.

Interestingly, "this new location has a slightly better elevation," for the cell tower, said Reeve.

In an emailed response dated Thursday, Jan. 17, a Rogers spokesperson wrote that the company is "always exploring opportunities to expand our wireless network to keep people connected to what matters most to them and we welcome conversations with local communities to ensure our services, equipment, and design, meet their needs."

History of the issue The idea for a tower was first floated in 2011, with a proposed site located at 472 Maberly Elphin Rd., with the goal of improving local wireless service. Rogers submitted an application on Nov. 4, 2013 to install a tower, according to a historic account presented by

THE ISSUE: CELL TOWER LOCATION LOCAL IMPACT: RESIDENTS OUTCRY RESULTS IN TOWER MOVE Reeve, in a staff report presented to the township council on Jan. 15.

Rogers received one phone call from resident Kim Radcliffe "expressing concern about the tower's proposed location close to her residence for health reasons and potential devaluation of property," wrote Reeve. "She was informed that Health Canada sets safety limits for exposure to radiofrequencies and that Rogers' installation would be below those limits and that Rogers had seen no documented evidence of property devaluation."

Later, Rogers received a petition from 18 residents of Maberly "who wanted to see the cell tower located 1,500 feet ... from the Radcliffe property for health

It's about trust. Our relationship with our readers is built on transparency, honesty and integrity. As such, we have launched a trust initiative to tell you who we are and how and why we do what we do. This column is part of that project.

If you've logged on to our news website, InsideOttawaValley.com, over the past four months, you've likely noticed the green banner at the top asking you to register and support local journalism.

And if you've read more than two stories in any of those months, you've also seen a message blocking part of the third article, asking you to register to continue reading.

Many of you have answered the call - providing us your name, email address and postal code to get unlimited access to our local news and information, as well as permission to comment on articles and submit your own content.

Thank you for your support.

Others have hesitated.

And some have called, emailed or posted on our Facebook page to ask: Why are you asking me to register? What are you doing with this information? Who has access to this information?

The simple answer is: We want to get to know you.

We want to better understand what news articles matter most to you and provide you with more of what you want.

In the past, journalists worked by instinct. We reported on the issues we thought most important to our communities and assumed you read it all. But the only ways we could measure our success were letters to the editor, critical or complimentary phone calls, and conversations at the grocery store.

Now, as readers register on InsideOttawaValley.com, we can use a variety of tools to get hard data on your reading habits.

How often do you visit?

Twice a day, three times a week or once a month?

How many articles do you read when you get there?

What subject matter interests you most? Social issues? Local council happenings? Crime? Things to do? Are you more likely to read news local to your neighbourhood or about wider regional issues?

Will you stick around to read longer, investigative pieces or are you looking for quick reads?

We're not looking at this on the individual level - but rather searching for trends that will help guide us in the issues we research and how we present that information.

We are not selling or sharing this information with anyone beyond our company, Torstar.

While this new digital tracking is an important way to learn about our readers, we still appreciate a good old-fashioned conversation. We always welcome your opinions on what you read online or in this newspaper. You can reach our newsroom at newsroom@insideottawavalley.com or 1800-267-7936.

Lee Ann Waterman is editor-in-chief of Metroland Media, York Region, and chair of Metroland's trust committee. We welcome your questions and value your comments.

WHO WE ARE

LETTERS & COMMENTARY SUITS AND BOOTS SEEKS TO MAKE CHANGE DEAR EDITOR:

For too long, the working people of Ontario's resource towns haven't had a real voice in the political decisions directly effecting their lives, and livelihoods - about pipeline projects, new mines, forestry tenures.

That's not only a tragedy, it's a travesty for resource development across Canada.

Last spring, we launched Suits and Boots to change that. Founded by six people in April, we have since grown to more than 3,200 people across Canada - Suits in offices and Boots out in the field alike doing the important work that makes Canada such a prosperous nation.

We have held rallies and flown banners over parliament. We have written senators asking them to kill the current version of Bill C-69 and send back to the House of Commons so this flawed attempt at reworking Canada's environmental assessment regulations can be redone. We have sat

down with politicians to call for change. We have been invited to the Prime Minister's office to hear our side of the story.

We have been constructive, offering solutions and ensuring the perspectives of resource sector working Canadians finally gain a voice.

We have an impact. Because you now have a voice.

Bill C-69 will soon be going before the Senate environment and natural resources committee. The fate of Canada's resource sector hangs in the balance. Now is the time we need our voice. Now is the time for resource towns across Canada stand up, be counted, and speak up.

If you're interested, visit suitsandboots.ca to read more, and make your voice heard in Ottawa.

READER COMMENDS LETTER WRITER ABOUT ROADSIDE SPRAYING DANGERS

I would like to respond to Theresa Peluso's alarming letter: "The Futility of Roadside Spraying in Mississippi Mills" which ap-

peared Jan. 14 online, and this week in print.

I was stunned to learn that the poison, Clearview, which is being unsuccessfully used to control wild parsnip, has not had independent certification done, and has only been tested by the manufacturer. The two main toxic Clearview ingredients have been tested individually and not together. How on earth could this be possible in our era of over-regulation?

There are all the other scientifically proven concerns about the effects of pouring more poison into our ecological systems, which people seem to have a hard time wrapping their heads around. The lack of independent assessment of Clearview is the icing, er, toxins on this particular cake.

THE FUTILITY OF ROADSIDE SPRAYING DEAR EDITOR:

In 2016, when Lanark County began its campaign to eradicate wild parsnip, it included Martin Street North in Almonte on its list of roadsides to be boom-sprayed.

The county boom-sprayed the same street again in 2017, and yet again last year.

After three consecutive years of boom spraying, wild parsnip populations in this part of Mississippi Mills have remained unchanged. Last August, far beyond the 12-foot reach of the herbicide truck, countless acres of wild parsnip danced in the breeze, completely unfazed. Was spraying really the success that the county proclaimed?

It seems Mississippi Mills has been so taken with this "success" that it is replacing its previous pol-

icy of mowing with spraying. In fact, this year the roads and public works department has allocated $80,000 of our taxes to boom-spray both sides of a total of 27 km of roads and spot-spray a total of 10 km of roads.

Besides just squandering this money, there are serious concerns about roadside spraying. Organic farmers fear contamination of their fields with herbicides and loss of their organic certification.

Although they will opt out of having their stretch of roadside sprayed, the danger of wind-drift and operator error is always present. The livelihoods of our beekeepers are also at risk. Mass destruction of all roadside plants with herbicides will deprive their bees of important sources of nectar and pollen. Besides, roadside spraying further degrades our ecosystems and puts even more species at risk of extinction.

ClearView, the herbicide being used for spraying, has been tested, but only by the manufacturer. No

independent certification has been done. The two main chemical components, aminopyralid and metsulfuron, were tested individually, but not together, or in combination with the adjuvant, Gateway. This adjuvant, which contains highly toxic aromatic petroleum distillates, is used to improve dispersal of the herbicide.

The long-term effects of ClearView are also not known.

Following ClearView's appearance on the market, subsequent testing by independent bodies has confirmed its persistence, especially in water. If manure, hay, compost or grass clippings with the slightest trace of aminopyralid or metsulfuron are used as soil amendments or crop cover, they will contaminate the crop being cultivated. Furthermore, given the prevalence of fractured bedrock and wetlands in our municipality, and the fact that the water in our roadside ditches ends up in our waterways, this persistence in water will jeopardize the safety of

our drinking water and the health of aquatic organisms.

It is also not known what the long-term effects of ClearView are on human health, especially when added to the many tonnes of pesticides currently being used annually by conventional farmers. It would stand to reason that chemicals designed to kill a living organism are toxic to people as well.

Then there is the problem of weed resistance. There are now 36 known Roundup-resistant weeds globally, 4 of which are present in Ontario. A dozen weeds in Ontario have developed a resistance to other herbicides, such as 2,4-D, atrazine, paraquat, linuron, and ALS. ClearView is classed as both a Group 2 and Group 4 herbicide, which means that a weed developing resistance to a Group 2 or 4 herbicide already used on a farm can accelerate its resistance as a result of exposure to ClearView.

The effectiveness of spreading herbicides on our roadsides is at best doubtful, and the toxicity of

this herbicide is clear. Why take the risk? Let's spend our taxes on educating the public on how to deal with wild parsnip, just as we've learned how to avoid poison ivy, and how to prevent Lyme Disease by checking for ticks. In the meantime, we can mow unwanted weeds before they set seed, and tarp them or pull them out, taking precautions to wash off with water any parsnip sap that comes in contact with our skin. The $80,000 is better spent on useful tasks, like keeping our ice-covered roads and sidewalks safe to navigate.

If you share my concerns, please write to Guy Bourgon, Mississippi Mills director of roads and public works (gbourgon@mississippimills.ca) and to our council, care of the acting clerk, Jeanne Harfield (jharfield@mississippimills.ca). More information on this issue can be found on the Friends of Lanark County website (friendsoflanarkcounty.ca).

Remember, that one time, when buses were cancelled four days in a row?

Me too.

While we continue to deal with whatever Mother Nature throws our way, I'm always a little astonished when attitude gets thrown out at snow removal tactics and the crews.

Last week, during Snow Day No. 4 (but who's counting?!), I read a complaint about the Town of Perth' s road conditions while a storm was in action. Really?

As my four-year-old daughter often says: "For real, Mom." We all want to get out of our driveways and to our desired destinations with ease. But, perspective may

be needed. The town, county and townships each have their own snow removal plans and they're crafted with a logical order. Also, the crews are putting in long shifts before having to legally take a break before hitting the road again. Perhaps some of us could use a gentle reminder about expressing gratitude toward those clearing the way for us. For real.

GIVING DURING A QUIET TIME While it's natural to donate to worthwhile causes over the holiday season, January is often a month filled with forgotten causes.

That's why it was refreshing to see the Royal LePage Advantage team giving back during a quiet time by donating funds to the Table just last week.

Great work, gang!

WALKS WITH TUX Years ago, I'd muse in this column about things I'd see when out on my walks with our dog, Tux. We no longer have Tux, so I miss the daily nudges to get outside for fresh air, even during the cold, winter nights.

We recently boarded our cousin's dog, Inca, and it was a nice reminder about having a dog in the house to get me outside.

Uh oh.

Maybe it's time for our family to get a dog again (Don't tell my husband I said that. He may come home with three!).

But, tell me: if you were to get a new dog, what would you get and where would you get it? I'd love to pick your brain.

GOOD PEOPLE WHO WILL WORK FOR COOKIES WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR SNOWBLOWER BREAKS DOWN? YOU HUG IT OF COURSE, WRITES STEPHANIE GRAY STEPHANIE GRAY Column

If you've ever seen my driveway, you would wonder why we might need a snowblower.

We're talking about a driveway that is, basically, the size of a vehicle, so snow removal is not really an ordeal. (When we owned a minivan many years ago, it covered our entire driveway up to the sidewalk.)

Being a townie, we have the luxury of a sidewalk on our street. This means, though, that in the throes of a snowy winter, we have to deal with shovelling not only what the street plow moves around, but also what the sidewalk plow leaves us.

It can be quite a workout when you are wielding a shovel, especially when the snow is waterlogged.

It's all part of being Canadian, though, and that's fine.

That being said, a few

years ago my dad got a new snowblower and gave his old one to us, and it has been quite lovely to be able to blow out all that heavy stuff at the end of the driveway.

This was especially true when we started looking after the snow-clearing duties at my in-laws' house around the corner. Their driveway is much longer three or four cars could fit quite comfortably in there.

For a while they had someone plow it out, but having the snowblower did the job for both driveways.

I should make it clear that while I am quite adept with a shovel and ice chopper, Boychild has picked up most of those duties and

Groom-boy has taken on the snowblowing. In fact, I am embarrassingly uncertain when it comes to operation of things with small engines.

(Partly, this is strategic.

The more I know about those things, the greater the risk the jobs may fall to me. As much fun as that would be, I'm happy to share the chores.)

Unfortunately, while other people in the house may be more adept at operating machines with small engines, their knowledge of their workings is limited.

So, when the nasty, cold blizzard hit last week, it was inconvenient that the electric starter on the snowblower died. It was al-

so inconvenient that it wouldn't start with the pull cord, either.

At least at that point, before the rains came, the snow was still light and tossable.

The nonexperts in my household started talking about replacement. Because I am not as willing to give up on inanimate objects (which usually costs many hundreds of dollars), I started muttering to my friend Cookie, who knows a lot about a lot of things, including small engines.

Cookie is in my tribe. It's good to have people in your tribe who know a lot about a lot.

He stopped by. His initial assessment was that all was not lost, and he vowed to return with tools and things.

When he returned a couple of days later, a great deal of wet snow had fallen and the temperature had risen about a kazillion degrees, making the planet hospitable again, but snowy.

The snowblower started right away.

"What did you do?" I

asked.

"I gave it a hug and said it was beautiful," he said.

Sounds like a strategy I would try.

While it seemed we might be back in business, we quickly realized there was a new problem: the snowblower wouldn't actually blow the snow. (Unhelpful.)

So, Cookie tinkered and discovered the auger belt (see me tossing around these terms now!) was cracked and slipping.

While I went to the auger belt store (where I was assisted by another friend who knows a lot about a lot), Cookie kindly blew out the driveways using his own snowblower, which he had brought along. His fee?

Cookies, of course.

I have good, kind friends. I'm glad they like cookies.

ENVIRONMENTALIST 'STRIKE FOR CLIMATE' COMES TO PERTH HOSPITAL DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@ metroland.com Leighla Foster and Matthew Kafieh are so sick of climate change they went to the hospital on Jan. 11.

They were not physically sick, but they arrived at the Great War Memorial Hospital campus of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital in Perth this past Friday to join in a protest sponsored by the LanarkFrontenac-Kingston branch of the Citizens' Climate Lobby in front of the hospital.

The "Strike for Climate" was organized by the lobby's local leader Anita Payne, a former Green Party candidate, who invited the two Grade 10 students from nearby Perth and District Collegiate Institute to attend to add the voice of youth.

"Climate change is going to kill everybody if we don't do anything," said Kafieh, standing just off of the sidewalk in the chilly morning air. As a young person, "all I'm in a position to do is protest."

Classmate Foster agreed, stating she believed that "climate change is real and seri-

The information is there, but people are not motivated to change. It really makes me nervous."

Foster chided the federal Liberal government in particular for preaching a climate-friendly message while also purchasing a pipeline. "(This is) a government that is supposed to be ... left-wing (and) is not really doing things to follow that agenda," said Foster.

Kafieh said he was baffled by the federal government investing in pipelines, an issue that was in the news again this week.

"I don't see the reason for oil anymore," he said. "It kills the environment and it's not the best choice anymore. It's only making things worse."

Some motorists driving by on Drummond Street honked their horns in support, while one car slowed down, with the passenger-side rolled down, as a passenger called out, "You're nuts!"

Desmond Devoy/Metroland Perth and District Collegiate Institute Grade 10 students Matthew Kafieh, left, and Leighla Foster, right, joined the Citizens' Climate Lobby's climate change protest in front of the Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital in Perth on Friday, Jan. 11, adding the voice of students to the climate change issue.

Perth Town Hall on Friday, Dec. 14. Organizers hope to hold further protests on the first Friday of each month in different parts of Perth, and maybe even in different parts of the riding.

The hospital was chosen as the site of the second protest to underline the effect that climate change is having on human health, not to mention the health of the planet.

Payne pointed to the "rollercoaster weather," particularly our winter this season. "It's warm one day, and then it's cold.

We have a lot of ice," because of the melting and freezing. Two protesters attending that day had fallen on ice, one breaking her arm, the other tearing the meniscus in her knee.

"The jet-stream is being wavy," said Payne. "The Arctic is warming faster than the rest of

the planet," and there is now less of a temperature difference between the Arctic and the Earth's more temperate regions. "The jet-stream slows down and it's like a spinning top and it wobbles," resulting in "Arctic air one day, and temperate air the next.

We are really exposed to that," in eastern Ontario, she said.

Payne said she was happy the young people, including Rideau Ferry resident Aidan Williamson, attended. The Citizens' Climate Lobby, she said, was trying to promote the climate strikes that students around the world are holding in countries such as Sweden and Australia, and that Canadian students in Nova Scotia, British Columbia and northern Ontario are also holding.

"We don't want to coerce students," said Payne, but "we want to let them know about it."

PERTH MAN RECEIVES CONDITIONAL SENTENCE FOR PUBLISHING INTIMATE PHOTOS A Perth man charged with publishing intimate photos online of a woman without her consent has received a conditional sentence after pleading guilty in Perth court on Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2019.

Austin Crowe, 25, was charged with making available an intimate image between September 2013 and January 2015, contrary to Section 162.1 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

In accepting a joint submission from the Crown and defence, Justice Michael March sen-

tenced Crowe to six months house arrest, followed by 12 months probation.

The sentence includes a lengthy list of conditions, including: regular reporting to a conditional sentence supervisor and/ or probation officer; keeping 100 metres away from the victim and the victim's family members; no use of drugs or alcohol, among others. Exceptions include being able to leave home between noon and 5 p.m. "to deal with the necessaries of life," attending medical emergencies or his employment,

but only with written approval of the sentence supervisor.

"I hope today is an important day for you," March told Crowe during sentencing. "You should be grossly ashamed of yourself."

Prior to sentencing, several victim impact statements were read detailing the impact that the accused's actions had caused.

"The ripple effect of your offence was quite pervasive," March said.

The case is subject to a publication ban to protect the identity of the victim.

but the legion has gained so much more from this lottery," she said. "We are getting new memberships and crowds of people are coming back and socializing at our Branch. It was nearly

impossible to find a parking spot in our lot on a Friday night! And all it took was a little Ace of Spades!"

Don is an associate legion member, who supported the lot-

tery right from the beginning, Sue said, and they were thankful for the support of the lottery from this group of members.

Catch the Ace will start up again next week at the branch.

– Sue Doran

Sue said they never would have guessed that the lottery would have lasted that long and be such the success that it is. The branch received 50 per cent of the funds brought in from the sale of

tickets which amounted to $21,500 over the course of the 43 weeks.

"Most of that money will be put right back out into the community through donations, etc.,

"Almonte's lottery was most successful, so we figured ours would be, too. Thank goodness we were right!"

Submitted/Sue Doran Sue and Rick Doran flank Bill Don as they present a cheque for $13,100 which Don won for his dart playing finess as he captured the Ace of Space in the Catch the Ace Lottery draw held Friday, Jan. 25 at the Royal Canadian Legion, Perth.

LI N ST Ew IN g

There's been a winner of the illusive Catch the Ace in Perth.

Bill Don, an avid dart player at the Perth Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244 was the winner of $13,100 after the draw on Friday, Jan. 25.

This new lottery has been ongoing since April, 2018, and Don was the big winner of the progressive jackpot that has been ongoing for 43 weeks.

The Perth lottery is a great way to raise funds, said Sue Doran, who, along with her husband Rick are members of the legion. Because the Perth branch was struggling financially, the Dorans felt this was a great way to raise some money for the cause.

"It's a very popular way to raise funds for nonprofit organizations," Sue said in an email to The Perth Courier.

She and Rick put up the funds for the purchase of the licence, which was $780 on the premise that the lottery would be able to support itself and pay them back - which it did, she noted.

Sue was able to get all the information she needed to get the lottery up and running from the Almonte branch.

"Almonte's lottery was most successful, so we figured ours would be, too. Thank goodness we were right! The ace could have been 'caught' on the first draw, but we were lucky enough for it to last for 43 weeks!"

Laurie Weir/Metroland Gail Thomas, Eileen Henley and Margot Hallam are hoping to crochet and knit some 3,000 poppies (with some help from other knitters and crochet fans in the area) which will be tied to bird netting and hung like a giant red ribbon from the Perth Great War Memorial Hospital's third floor window. The ribbon of poppies will help recognize and pay tribute to local veterans during the Perth Remembrance Day service on Nov. 11. The poppies will hang from Oct. 25 to Nov. 11.

WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? THE POPPY PROJECT LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com A group of people who enjoy knitting and crocheting are making 3,000 poppies for a Nov. 11 wall of poppies that will cascade from the third floor of the Great War Memorial Hospital for weeks leading up to Perth's Remembrance Day service.

JUST THE FACTS • Spearheaded by Margot Hallam, the project has been approved by the Royal Canadian Legion, Dominion Command, as the poppy design is a registered trademark and is used under licence.

• Knitters and crocheters are sought to help create some 3,000 poppies that will adorn bird netting, which will make a stunning statement as it hangs from the hospital's third floor from Oct. 25 to Nov. 11. It will be able to be stored following the service, and possibly expanded in future years to adorn even more windows.

• If you are not one to create, but would like to participate, you can make a donation or purchase wool for the project. Balls of yarn of the appropriate colour are available in Perth at the Perth Fashion Mill, or at Sew Crafty in Rideau Ferry.

• The poppies are created using true red No. 16040160482 or No. 154053. Any true black yarn will work for the centres. Be sure and leave two tails (two to three inches in length) from which they can be tied to the netting.

• Email Hallam for information: mar-

Submitted/Margot Hallam got.hallam@bralextelecom.ca. She is looking for more people to help create these vibrant poppies, which will make a bold statement to honour local veterans and their families. "It will be a magnificent piece." Hallam saw this in Calgary and thought it would be a wonderful addition to the service hosted locally by the Perth Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 244.

Opening in March of this year business partners and colleagues Dr. Hemal Patel, Dr. Raja Sandhu, Dr. Neeraj Bansal and Dr. Vijayant Kapur came together to build a forwardthinking and modern practice within the Perth Mews Mall.

The practice specializes in general dentistry as well as dental implants, a procedure that replaces the root and acts as an anchor for a new replacement tooth. They are proud to be known as a 1-stop shop dental clinic that eliminates lengthy drives to Ottawa to see a specialist.“We do everything here” says co-founder Dr Bansal.

Headed int into their 2nd year of business Dentistry@Perth would like to replicate and build upon their early success.

KEITH KERR APPRECIATION EVENT PLANNED FOR FEB. 9 Citizens of Tay Valley Township and area are invited to "tip their hats" to Keith Kerr on Saturday, Feb. 9 at the Old Burgess Township Hall.

With his trademark Stetson hat, Keith has served Tay Valley Township and Lanark County for more than 25 years.

Since he was first elected as a councillor in North Burgess Township in 1994 until the end of his tenure as Reeve of Tay Valley Township in 2018, Kerr has played an active role in a host of changes, not least of which was the 1998 amalgamation of the historic townships of Bathurst, North Burgess and South Sherbrooke.

Kerr oversaw the amalgamation of the Bathurst, Burgess, Drummond and North Elmsley (BBD & E), South Sherbrooke Fire Departments, the building of the new fire hall in South Sherbrooke and the new

Submitted/Friends of Keith Kerr The public is invited to an appreciation afternoon Feb. 9 from 1-4 p.m. in honour of Keith Kerr's 25-year commitment to Tay Valley council.

Tay Valley municipal offices and council chamber.

With increased awareness of the inadvertent negative impact of human activity on our lakes, Kerr supported the expansion of septic inspections and the work of both the Friends of the Tay Watershed and the lake associations as they developed lake steward-

ship plans.

As someone who knows the history of Tay Valley like the back of his hand, Kerr was an enthusiastic booster of the 200th Anniversary events and legacy projects.

For Kerr, his family wife Margaret, his two sons, their wives and children - has always come first.

For 25 of their 40 years together, Margaret has supported her husband's community commitment and attended more community events than she can count.

Whether serving as a councillor, deputy reeve, reeve, or warden of Lanark County, volunteer firefighter, or little league baseball supporter, Kerr has always considered it a privilege and an honour to serve his community.

The event will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Old Burgess Township Hall on Narrows Lock Road. Light refreshments will be served.

for residents to allow them to contact emergency services," wrote Reeve.

Fast forward However, Rogers did not proceed with construction of the

cialize with multiple friendly kitties. He is doing remarkably well and now lets us pet him some.

He is enjoying playing with his new little buddies. We are delighted with his progress, and hope he'll be adopted soon. If you are interested in Nolan, please contact the shelter.

Patches When Patches first arrived at the shelter, she was quite timid and scared but quickly got used to people. She is very gentle and loves to just lie in her basket and tower at this time. But, by the fall of 2018, Rogers had "renewed its interest in proceeding with construction of the tower," and asked that the 2014 letter of concurrence be extended. However, "Industry Canada's cell tower policy states that letters of concurrence are no longer valid after three years, unless the township provides an extension to the letter," wrote Reeve. Because of the time lapse, council ordered that a new public process be undertaken.

Residents continue to express health concerns about radiofrequency electromagnetic fields.

One of the residents seeking a co-location on the Bell tower, and bringing up health concerns on Jan. 15, was resident Rosemary

Tayler, who said in her presentation to council that "in my opinion, health and safety is not yet being taken seriously when it comes to cell tower radiofrequency emission," at the old location, she said in her presentation.

STORY BEHIND THE STORY

This tower location has been under consideration for several years. Residents were concerned about the health impacts of cell phone electromagnetic waves and wanted the tower moved further from its proposed location. In January, Rogers moved the location more than 600 metres northwest.

FLINT & HONEY IN PERTH CELEBRATES FIRST YEAR IN BUSINESS LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com Stacey Bonfield is celebrating her first year in business in Perth as the owner of Flint & Honey.

Bonfield specializes in Canadian-made women's clothing, accessories, Wick Witch candles of Merrickville (with a specific line named after her daughter Ellie's Dream), and gift ideas, to maternity wear and nursing bras, as well as a complete line for babies.

"The key is supporting Canadian made," she said on Jan. 24 at her store.

Born and raised in Merrickville, she and her husband purchased a house there as well, but a gut feeling brought her to Perth.

"It's beautiful here. I absolutely love it here," she said. "It's close to Highway 7, lots of pros to that; the heritage here is beautiful. I loved all the shops that are

already here and I thought mine would be a really great fit for the Town of Perth."

She started with a popup shop on Foster Street in the fall of 2017, and had the best time, she said, without much fanfare or advertising.

"I wanted to get a feel for the town and whether or not this would be a good fit for me, and I loved it. It was amazing," she said. "I had lots of feedback that it was what the town needed as it complemented the shops on the street."

Bonfield said her main focus is on women's clothing and she carries sizes up to 3X. Her items of clothing look and feel great for any aged woman.

"I also have body products, lots of jewelry, and some accessories, mugs and wine glasses. Most of my products are made in Canada - jewelry as well.

The amount of people I get in here supporting Canadian (made products) is amazing. It really helps our world go around. We need to stick within our country. I have done lots of research on different products and have had some great testimonials. I usually go with a product with my own personal experience with it or someone else's personal experience with it."

Her baby section is Canadian made, much of it locally created, she said.

"I have people coming to the store specifically because of these products and the quality."

The hot product in her store is a bamboo jumpsuit, comes from Vancouver. It's called the Smash 'n Tess jumpsuit and she can't keep them in stock due to its comfort and versatility.

Bonfield said she's looking to expand her line

FLINT & HONEY

Winter hours are in effect currently: Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

In the summer, she will have extended hours on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Fridays until 7 p.m.

Call 613-558-0076 for more information.

"They're looking out for me, which is really nice," she said of those who have stopped by to check on her safety.

CELEBRATION TIME

Laurie Weir/Metroland Stacey Bonfield, owner of Flint & Honey in Perth says this bamboo jumpsuit called the Smash 'n Tess is a hot seller. in the spring, to keep things fresh and exciting.

Moving past a recent incident at the store, Bonfield said she's thankful for the check-ins by her neighbours and customers alike.

Earlier in January there was an attempted

theft from her store. A woman, who was later arrested and charged, tried to take her purse from behind the counter. Bonfield said she'd never seen the woman before, and people have been stopping in to see how she is doing.

Future plans include another store - hopefully within three years, and possibly closer to Ottawa, she said.

But in the meantime, drop by Flint & Honey, 42 Gore St., Perth on Feb. 1 as the store will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. for an anniversary party.

Enjoy special treats from other Perth businesses, including drinks from Top Shelf Distillers, snacks from Crossroads Tearoom and celebratory cupcakes from Cake and Company of Merrickville.

Kell, Gladys Louise (nee Davis)

Born on September 30,1917 in Griffin, Quebec, passed away peacefully at the remarkable age of 101 on January 22, 2019 in Almonte, Ontario. Louise (as she was known) was the beloved wife of the late James. She was preceded in death by her sisters Dorothy and Isabel. Louise is survived by her daughter Linda (Ron) Keymer, and her sons James (Christine) and Terry (Daniela Keon); grandchildren Geoffrey, Audrey (Matt), David (Sarah), Harrison, Anthony, Jesse, Sophie, Drew and great granddaughter Foley as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews living both here and in Northern Ireland. Louise will be remembered for many things. Although shy and quiet she had a quick wit and could easily be coaxed to dance and make funny faces.

She was thoughtful and ever helpful to others and volunteered locally. As an avid Montreal Canadians fan she rarely missed a game and could be counted on to know all the details of the games. Louise shared James’ love of gardening and nature, was a lifelong lover of cats and kittens, and in her declining years got much enjoyment from chocolates and sweets.

As a loving mother, grand and great grandmother she was devoted to her family and was the go to person for any and all family history and dates. Most of Louise’s married life was spent in Montreal and Almonte, Ontario, but the place she called “home” was the farm in Griffin. At her request, there is no service but family and friends will gather to celebrate her long and remarkable life at the internment of her ashes in the cemetery in her beloved Griffin. The family would like to express their deep gratitude to all those at Fairview Manor for their devotion and care of Louise during the many years she spent there. Donations in her memory can be made to the Almonte General Hospital Foundation.

LACKEY, John (Jack) Cecil - In loving memory of our dear Father and Grandfather who left us on January 30, 1994.

He never looked for praises, He was never one to boast, He just went on quietly working, For the ones he loved the most.

His dreams were seldom spoken, His wants were very few, And most of the time his worries Went unspoken too.

He was there... a firm foundation Through all our storms of life, A helping hand to hold on to In times of stress and strife.

We miss you more than ever...

Your guidance and your love, But, we know you’re still watching Silently from above.

And the love you gave still warms us, The way it always will.

But leaving left an empty space That time can never fill.

From heaven you’re still giving The love you always had.

We know you hear us talk to you, We will always love you Dad. Always loved, remembered and sadly missed by his children and grandchildren

PDCI HAS PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESSFUL WINTER SPORTS RESULTS In the always-changing, fast-paced world of education, one thing has remained consistent over the past 20 years at Perth and District Collegiate Institute: the incredible annual success of the four winter indoor sports teams.

Since 1999, the PDCI senior and junior girls' volleyball teams combined with the senior and junior boys' basketball teams have won an amazing 28 Lanark County (LCIAA) championships and nine eastern On-

tario championships (EOSSAA). They have also made 10 trips to OFSAA - the provincial championships - an outstanding achievement for a rural high school.

The success of this year's winter indoor sports teams is no exception. Heading into exam break, all four teams are a combined 33-3 in league play. All four teams have also won several weekend exhibition tournaments.

More importantly, all four teams are full of top-

These same student athletes help lead a culture of excellence in the classroom and in the halls at PDCI. Win or lose this year in the playoffs, all four teams have represented themselves very well on the court and in the classroom.

And they aren't going anywhere ... all four teams are preparing and planning to be strong for the next few seasons to come.

The Perth Courier | Thursday, January 31, 2019 | 34

CONTRIBUTED

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
