OPP seeks answers at deadly intersection Desmond Devoy

QE rocks out at spring concert

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The OPP will be providing Perth town hall with data about the collision blackspot better known as Highway 7 and Drummond Street West.

“There seem to be a fair number of collisions (there),” said Insp. Derek Needham, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, during the Perth police services board meeting on Thursday, April 28. “I’m curious what the history is there.”

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell reported that Coun. Ed McPherson had long expressed concerns about that intersection, especially for eastbound traffic on Highway 7 looking to turn left into the hardware store, coming up against westbound traffic.

The Spring Concert at the Queen Elizabeth Public School in Perth was held on Thursday, April 28. There was an afternoon performance for the rest of the school, and an evening performance for family and friends, but The Perth Courier decided to go behind the scenes to see the show come together during the final dress rehearsal that morning. Above, from left, Quinn Sweeney, Jacob Czubak, and Blake Durnin, rock out during an extended guitar solo during one of the many upbeat musical numbers of the concert.

The trio of violinists Lisa Draper and Danielle Lennon, as well as cellist Jeff Hamacher will perform Sunday, May 8 at the Perth Manor.

Perth Manor wraps up music series for season with classical trio May 8 Mother’s Day is fast approaching, which means our last concert of the 2016 winter/spring season at the Perth Manor is nearly here!

This Sunday, May 8 at 2 p.m. we welcome Limestone Trio from Kingston to the Perth Manor. Lisa Draper, violin; Danielle Lennon, violin; and Jeff Hamacher, cello are all members of the Kingston Symphony and form the trio.

Having played dozens and dozens of weddings and receptions, these musicians have some

entertaining ‘behind the scenes’ stories to tell as they take the audience through a ‘musical wedding ceremony’.

Guided bus tour through Perth, Tay Valley Township June 4 Have you ever wanted to go back in time? If time travel is possible then become one of the visitors from the future on June 4. Tickets are going fast for this guided bus tour through historic Perth and Tay Valley Township, in celebrating their 200th anniversary.

The world is a book, so watch the pages turn and hear the stories about Perth which was first established as a military settlement in 1816, shortly after the War of 1812. Many of the first settlers were military veterans on half pay, while others were military veterans from France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Scotland or Ireland who were offered land in return for their service.

Travel to evolve, and learn about the great Rev. William Bell, who arrived in June 1817, who noted in his many diaries that the settlement of the Tay Valley Township was more European than a Scottish settlement.

Time travel along with us for romance, as Perth was the site of the last fatal duel in Upper Canada. Robert Lyon, a law student, was killed on June 13, 1833 after fighting over a

woman (Elizabeth Hughes) with a former friend, John Wilson. Come relive the tales– you will not regret it!

It’s the journey that matters in the end, so join us for this unique historical event. Tickets are going fast and the first bus is already full, with a second now being added. Once a year, go somewhere where you have never been before.

Get your tickets early. No tickets will be sold on the day of event.

The event kicks off from Farrell Hall in Perth (186 Gore Street East) with doors opening at 9:30 a.m. The bus departs at 10 a.m. or sooner if seats are full and a catered lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m.

There will be two guest speakers during the tour, including John McKenty, a local historian and author who will talk about “Early Perth Through the Eyes of a Businessman (George S. James 1869-1964), a central figure in Perth’s early economic and social development. Author Sandra Joyce will also speak on the subject of British Home Children whose age ranged

from 1-18 years. These impoverished children came from all parts of the British Isles to Canada with hopes of a chance at a better life. Their stories are a huge part of Canadian history, which to this day largely remains unknown.

Some of the invited exhibitors to the marketplace include Lanark County Museums Networks, Perth Historical Society, Beckwith Township Hertiage Group, Global Genealogy, Ontario Historical Society and others.

Tickets for the full event, which includes the catered lunch, are $30 per person. Also available a limited number of tickets for the luncheon and afternoon speaker portion for only $15 per person.

Cheques can be made payable to Lanark County Genealogical Society and mailed to Lanark County Genealogical Society, Glen Tay Bus Tour Group, P.O. Box 512 Perth, ON K7H 3K4. PayPal option is available. Information is available at: lanarkgenealogy.com.

Third annual Great Veggie Grow-Off launched, expands to include all of Lanark County Ashley Kulp

akulp@metroland.com

Grow a little more, feed your community.

That’s the message organizers of the Great Veggie GrowOff wanted to get across during the launch of the third annual initiative at the Lanark County Food Bank (The Hunger Stop) in Carleton Place May 1.

The fundraiser was established two years ago by Neighbourhood Tomato and St. Gregory’s Next Door community gardens, Mills Community Support and Lanark County Food Bank (LCFB) as a way to challenge residents of Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills to see who could grow the most local produce for the food bank. It has become so popular that this year, it’s expanding to food banks across Lanark County, including not only LCFB, but Lanark Highland Food Pantry, The Table

Community Food Centre and the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank. “...It’s been such a success – 2,800 pounds the first year to almost 4,100 last year. We know that total will be even greater this year,” noted Jeff Mills of Mills Community Support, urging gardeners to spread the word across the county. “...We have been getting out and have contacted each of the other three food banks – the one in Lanark Village, Smiths Falls, Perth – to include them, so this year you’re not only gardening and growing for CP, MM and Beckwith, but actually competing against all of Lanark County, so tell people.”

Neighbhourhood Tomato volunteer Glennis Harwig highlighted the importance of growing local food and sustaining communities for the future. “If for any reason those tractor-trailers don’t come over those bridges from the (United)

Spruce Up For Spring!

States, we have but 48 hours of food on our shelves and then we start to grow hungry,” she pointed out.

In its few years in existence, Neighbourhood Tomato has grown to include 32 plots in Augusta Park in Mississippi Mills and Harwig noted interest in their model has come from Beckwith, Carleton Place and Osgoode.

“We’ve spread the word, we’re growing food and luckily, we’re taking care of each other because we grow food for ourselves, but we also grow food for the food bank,” she said, marveling at the more than 4,000 pounds of food collected through the Great Veggie Grow-Off in 2015. “...Those recipients were absolutely delighted. They prefer fresh food, they prefer giving their children fresh food, they prefer experimenting with new kinds of vegetables.”

Harwig urged those in atten-

dance to lobby municipal council and members of parliament for access to more open space to grow food.

“Let’s go for it. Let’s spread the Neighbourhood Tomato as far and wide as we possibly can. Let’s feed each other. Let’s

feed Canadians with Canadian participant in the challenge for food, grown on Canadian soil the last two years and urged

Festival of Small Halls expands local venue offering for 2016 The festival that brought big names in music to local communities last fall is getting bigger and better this year.

After almost all of the shows in last year’s installment sold out, The Ontario Festival of Small Halls is expanding its scope and bringing internationally-renowned musicians to 23 rural gathering spaces. The celebration of exceptional live music is taking place from Sept. 15 to Oct. 2 in intimate settings to enliven those authentic spaces, attract visitors to new regions and build community.

The new host communities this year stretch from Winchester to Elgin and from Burritt’s Rapids to Pakenham.

Halls from last year are once again preparing to welcome the Festival of Small Halls such as Seeley’s Bay, Morton, Pembroke, McDonald’s Corners and more.

Kelly Symes, festival co-ordinator, said welcoming big name musical acts to rural Ontario, while showcasing some great local talent, allows music

Ivy on William in Smiths Falls was one of the rural gathering spaces featured in last year’s Ontario Festival of Smalls Halls, which showcased smaller venues from throughout eastern Ontario and the Upper Ottawa Valley. Seen playing there are the East Pointers. Last year’s events were nearly sold out, prompting organizers to expand to include 23 rural gathering spaces in this year’s festival, set for Sept. 15 to Oct. 2 which will attract big names and local acts.

fans to experience a memorable evening of song and dance in gathering places residents hold near and dear.

“We’re delighted to expand the festival to include nine more small halls this time around,” she said, noting that 30 new halls applied from across eastern Ontario. The additional venues were selected based on their history, charm and the eagerness of their volunteer teams.

“The new venues will be wonderful places to see live music – including two barns, a legion hall, a United Church, a restored schoolhouse, and more.”

Organizers of the Festival of Small Halls will soon be announcing dates and the big-name and local acts who will be taking center stage across eastern Ontario and the Upper Ottawa Valley, at the following venues: • Almonte Old Town Hall • Nick Smith Centre Hall, Arnprior • Joshua Bates Centre, Athens • Stonefields, Beckwith

somebody who needs it.

What I say to other gardeners is, grow more for next year, the food bank needs it.

And that’s why we managed to go up almost double the second year,” he stated. “Get the word to anybody that gardens. Grow a little bit extra.

Grow a little bit more because there’s somebody who will eat it. You don’t have to worry about waste or feeding it to the chickens.”

To show how serious he is, McLaughlin produced winter parsnips he had harvested, making them the first Mississippi Mills contribution of Great Veggie Grow-Off. “...I’m starting it off right now,” he said. “...There are winter crops, even in this cold climate. You put these guys in, even in the spring, harvest a few in November, they winter over and stay perfectly fresh and actually get sweeter.”

He vowed to work with his Carleton Place counterpart, Louis Antonakos to spread the word of the challenge across the county, but remarked it might be futile.

“Louis and I will get the word out to compatriots on Lanark County council to remind them that whether they know or not, they are now included and Mississippi Mills is the leader and we’re probably going to win again, because that’s just who we are,” he joked.

Antonakos couldn’t resist getting in on the good-natured ribbing. “OK, OK. Last year, my colleague enlisted the help of scientists, local celebrities here today and now we are starting the competition off before it has even begun,” he remarked. “This is one impressive community we have to partner with and we’re so happy.”

While he admitted he has never gone hungry, Antonakos knows the struggles his family had when they came to Canada from Europe. “...We all are so fortunate to have food right here in our hands and many don’t have that. So I think we need to remember that,” he stressed.

“When people say we need to grow more food, that should resonate, especially some of the seniors here who might remember the Depression years...these things get passed on by our family. Those messages are very important.”

Just one way Carleton Place is trying to put an end to food insecurity is through community gardens currently under construction at Market

Square, home of the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market.

“We (town) think that’s a nice tie-in, farmers’ market and home-grown food,” he said, before adding “But we are going to beat MM this year. We know they’ve got scientists, local celebrities and vast parcels of wonderful land to grow, but we’re going to take you on, Shaun.”

“The headline in the newspaper last year was ‘Mississippi Mills squashes the competition.’ I hope we just squeeze by this year,” remarked McLaughlin.

“We’ll see!” added Antonakos.

To formally launch the grow-off, Mississippi Mills master gardener Ed Lawrence christened the three new community garden boxes in front of the LCFB, planting two rows of turnips in one. “...I grew up and went to school with kids who came to school hungry so it does bother me...we have to think of the others. When I was a kid I was told ‘You’re not much brighter than a turnip,’

so to maybe prove that wrong, I’m going to plant some of these (turnip seeds),” he said.

“The mayor from Mississippi Mills harvested today.

I’m planting today,” added Lawrence.

To get involved, simply harvest extra produce and bring it to your local food bank, where it will be weighed and added to your community’s tally.

The collective communities’ support of the endeavour brought in 2,800 pounds of fresh produce to the Lanark County Food Bank in 2014, blowing that total out of the water last year with 4,081 pounds collected. Mississippi Mills earned the Great Veggie Grow-Off trophy, the Veggie Bowl, which accounted for 75 per cent of the produce donated (3,108).

The grow-off traditionally kicks off May 1, International Workers’ Day. The final weigh-in to determine which community will earn bragging rights, will take place this October in conjunction with World Food Day.

Unforgettable evening of twist and jive and romantic oldies June 11 in Carleton Place Tara Gesner

tgesner@metroland.com

Get ready to go back in time to poodle skirts, bobby socks, bouffant hairdos and sideburns – the wonderful 1950s and 1960s.

Carleton Place’s recreation and culture department proudly presents A ‘50s/’60s Prom Night Dance in the upper hall of the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena) on Saturday, June 11 from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. Doors open at 7 p.m.

“Close your eyes...think Happy Days comes to Carleton Place,” wellknown local entertainer Jack Denovan said.

Denovan, Bob White (senior facility operator) and Jessica Smith (community programmer) make up the event’s organizing committee.

“Curly, Larry and Moe,” Denovan joked.

“Jack, Jessica and I work very well together,” White added, “and we have worked together many times and on many events.”

Guests can expect an old-fashioned good time as they dance to the music of The Heartbeats, a fabulous five-piece show band specializing in the nostalgic rock and roll music of the 1950s and 1960s.

“When music was fun, exciting and easy to listen to,” Denovan said.

Members of The Heartbeats have

been performing the golden oldies throughout the Ottawa Valley and the Outaouais for more than 25 years.

“They put on a fantastic show that is bound to please – everyone,” Denovan said.

“It is like a Vegas show.”

Members of The Heartbeats normally change costumes with each set, to go with the era and genre of music they are performing.

“They even do one set of ‘50s/’60s legends who have passed on: Ritchie Valens, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Elvis, Del Shannon and more,” Denovan said.

The group consists of Denny Welburn (lead guitar and vocals), Jean Coté (bass guitar and vocals), Richard Wills (drums & vocals), Roddy McCann (saxophone and vocals) and Pat Hallett (rhythm guitar and vocals).

All proceeds from A ‘50s/’60s Prom Night Dance will benefit the town’s 2016 Canada Day fireworks display, in an effort to make it even bigger and better.

“And we already have an awesome fireworks display,” Denovan said.

Tickets to A ‘50s/’60s Prom Night Dance, which go on sale on May 12, are $20 each, and they are available at the following locations: Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce office, SRC Music in Carleton Place, Carleton Place arena and

Mark’s Cobbler Shop in Perth.

“Do not miss out!” White said.

The organizing committee’s goal is to sell a minimum of 300 tickets, even though the upper hall seats 400.

At the end of the night the members would like to bring in between $2,000 and $3,000.

“There will be a light buffet: vegetables, cheese, cold meat, buns bun and more,” White said. “The bar will be open.”

The Carleton Place & District Civitan Club will manage a 50/50 draw.

White noted other festivities include a kissing booth, bubble gum blowing and hula hoop contests, and prizes for the best twisters and jivers.

Because the event is licensed, attendees must be 19 years of age or older.

“Costumes are definitely encouraged but not mandatory,” White said.

“However, I will be dressed up.”

“He is a showstopper!” Denovan joked.

With the Ottawa Valley home to numerous country, jazz and blues performers, “this type of entertainment does not come along too often,” the emcee said. White noted the town has put on three ‘50s/’60s dances in the past. Freddy Vette and the Flames played twice and Eddy and the Stingrays performed once. Denovan was involved in each show – as the emcee.

The Heartbeats have frequently performed at Rideau Carleton Raceway slots, which is where White first heard the group. Earlier this year he and wife Donna Marks went to the casino to meet Denovan and check out the band.

“After two sets the contract was signed,” White said with a smile.

“They really know how to have fun with the audience,” he added.

Denovan first met the band when he was asked to help with a benefit.

“We stayed in touch,” he said.

The arena, located at 75 Neelin St., boasts plenty of free parking, an elevator for people with accessibility issues and an ATM machine in the main lobby.

Sixth annual Art in the Barn show and sale in Lombardy July 8-10 What better way to acquire an original work of art than directly from the artist and what better place to go than the sixth annual Art in the Barn Show and Sale July 8, 9 and 10 at the Lombardy Agricultural Society Fairgrounds just south of Smiths Falls on Highway 15 at Kelly’s Road.

Last year, Art in the Barn included more artists by expanding into the main hall as well as the barn of the fairgrounds and it is continuing to provide these two fun and relaxed atmospheres to meet with the artists and talk to them about their wide diversity of original artwork.

With an eclectic mix of original paintings in watercolour, acrylic, oil, ink and mixed media, batik, sculpture and photography as well as artisans showing fiber art, pottery, leather jewelry, bird carvings and wood working, you will be sure to find a rare piece that speaks to you.

Visitors will again have the opportu-

A percentage of the art sales will be donated to Lanark County Inter-

val House whose representatives will be available to provide information with respect to their charity. A new food vendor and picnic area will be available for visitors’ comfort.

COMMENTARY

Get growing!

P

ut that green thumb to work for your local community this summer.

A story in this week’s issue details the launch of the third annual Great Veggie Grow-Off community challenge. For the past two years it has been dedicated to the Carleton Place, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills communities, who would grow fresh produce to benefit the Lanark County Food Bank, but this year it’s expanding to a whole new level.

Not only will the Lanark County Food Bank continue to be involved, but the challenge will be open to the three other food banks in Lanark County – The Table Community Food Centre in Perth, Lanark Highlands Food Pantry in Lanark and the Smiths Falls Community Food Bank – in an effort to feed those starving in the county.

No one should ever have to go hungry and while food banks traditionally receive plenty of canned goods and boxed meals, often they are forced to grocery shop for staples to round out the food baskets of clients. Those include dairy, meat and eggs, as well as fresh produce. The latter is a welcome addition to food banks and often, unfortunately,

a luxury.

The results of the Great Veggie Grow-Off speak for themselves. During its first year in 2014, 2,800 pounds of food were realized from Carleton Place, Beckwith and Mississippi Mills. That number nearly doubled last year with 4,081 pounds. An added perk: the community that grows the most produce earns the coveted Veggie Bowl trophy for the year.

So, get growing. Pack up your extra produce and take it to your local food bank, where it will be added to your community’s tally.

There are plenty of recreational and serious gardeners throughout Lanark County.

Now’s the time to get behind your local food bank. When growing that row of lettuce or carrots, consider adding an extra one to harvest for those in need. It might mean some additional time plotting out your garden and harvesting, but the benefits are so much greater. It’s still spring, so it’s the perfect time to be thinking about how to maximize your garden and ensure everyone has access to fresh, local food.

Father endured long days on farm at this time of year Early in the morning, this time of year, I could hear Father stirring downstairs. He would try to be quiet so as not to rouse the rest of the house, but as soon as he lit the cook stove, scraping the lids to put in the kindling, I would waken.

And then I would hear Mother in the kitchen getting breakfast ready.

The sun would be just rising when Father would head to the barns for the chores, returning to the house to down his breakfast and head out again for the long day ahead in the fields.

Likely the binder would already be in a far-off part of the farm, left there from the day before.

Our fields were long and narrow in the Northcote area, and it seemed to me, when I was so young, that when Father went beyond the West Hill, he was in

another part of the country.

He loved his land. Just like he loved every animal in the barns and fields. Grampa, when he came to visit from Ottawa, would say, “Albert is a true farmer.”

On weekdays, Mother would pack a lunch for him to take to the back fields. But on Saturdays, I would be allowed to take the eleven quart basket, packed with sandwiches, a honey pail of tea with shards of ice in it, slab cake, and a peeled cucumber and a tomato. It was quite

a feast, I thought back then.

And Father and I would share the lunch together.

During the days when we were at school, I knew without Mother telling me, that Father would be gone for most of the day with the binder, far back into the fields in the farthest reaches of our farm.

My three brothers would be expected to hurry home from school this time of year, because they would be responsible for the evening chores.

There was milking to be done, the barns to be cleaned out and made ready for the night, the calves and pigs to be fed, and fresh straw put in the stalls.

Ontario PC Party leader protests health care cuts DEAR EDITOR:

On Saturday, April 23, a historic health care rally occurred at Queen’s Park. Hundreds of physicians, patients, and other health care professionals joined together to protest the Liberal government’s gutting of Ontario’s health care system.

We’ve seen the Wynne Liberals cut $815 million from physician services, $50 million from seniors’ physiotherapy services, $20 million from the assistive devices program, and 50 medical residency positions. We’ve also seen the government cut more than 2,000 children

The reality is that the government’s ongoing cuts are a result of their scandal, waste, and mismanagement. This is a government that wasted $1 billion on the e-health scandal. This is a government that has let 39 per cent of every dollar for home care go towards administration and bureaucracy rather than frontline care.

The Liberals are so desperate to spin these cuts that Health Minister Eric Hoskins tried

United Counties passes resolution in support of AMO policing report The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held on Thursday, April 21 at the administration office in Brockville.

Counties council has passed a resolution supporting the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s (AMO) Police Modernization Report and its recommendations to ensure present and future challenges are met with rising policing costs.

The resolution urges the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services to implement the AMO report’s recommendations.

Counties council is also requesting the Ministry review the total remuneration of police officers in Ontario, including service pay, benefits and the arbitration system. The

without Father these nights.

He would still be working in the fields. It didn’t seem right somehow, that he wasn’t sitting at the head of the table. But his plate would be there, just as if he could be expected any minute to come in the back door.

My sister Audrey would have to say Grace, which was a much shorter version than that given by Father. Although he wasn’t one to engage in idle chatter at meal time, nonetheless it seemed strange that he wasn’t part of our supper meal.

Long after we had eaten, and redded up the kitchen, and the light of the day would have started to fade, I would go to the window and watch for Father. I would first see just a speck, and then I would see him coming over the West hill, walking behind the team, with the whippletree dragging behind them. I would watch his figure grow larger and I would feel the utmost relief that he would soon be home, safe and sound.

“He’s home,” I would yell.

Everett would get up and go

resolution notes the 2014 Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) wage increase cost Ontario property taxpayers an additional $25 million that year and has required significant increases in property taxes this year.

It demonstrates the current cost of policing is not sustainable.

Counties council finalizes communication agreement Counties council has passed a bylaw to enter into a Master Communication Agreement with Bell Canada to provide more cost effective high-speed Internet services.

The Eastern Ontario Regional Network (EORN), a non-profit corporation of the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC), manages Internet service contracts with

the private sector. EORN sent out a Request For Proposal (RFP) from providers for high-speed connectivity to municipal facilities across Eastern Ontario. Five proposals were reviewed.

Based on the review findings, EORN and EOWC have negotiated the Master Business Internet Agreements with Bell Canada for the provisions of high-speed Internet services for municipalities. The agreement covers all municipalities and First Nation communities in eastern Ontario.

In Leeds Grenville, there is an opportunity for municipalities to take advantage of lower pricing for Internet services. The agreement will only be used where there is an advantage to the counties, namely a reduction in monthly Internet costs. If the price is

out to the barn yard and take the team from Father, and feed them oats, and let them drink from the watering trough and then take them into the barn for the night.

And Father would come into the kitchen, covered with dirt and chaff, looking like he had rolled in a dustbin. He would go to the bench at the back door where Mother would have put out a fresh basin of warm water. I would watch him splash the water over his face and rub it up his arms, and see the water turn black. He would reach up to the huck towel and dry himself off, and it would look like he didn’t have another ounce of strength in his body.

Mother would put a steaming supper before him, and I never knew whether I should sit at the table with him so that he wouldn’t be eating alone, or to leave him in peace. It never mattered how ample was the meal, it couldn’t erase the bone-tiredness from Father’s body. I used to think a long day in the fields made him look much older than he really was.

At any other time of the year, Father would spend some time after supper reading the paper,

with his feet resting on the oven door. But when he had been in back fields from daylight to dusk, it was all he could do to muster enough strength to plod to the bedroom, undress and fall into bed.

I knew without fail, the next morning there would be a repeat of what had happened the day before, and would happen many days hence.

Although I didn’t understand completely what the Depression really meant, I knew for us to survive it, Father would have to continue the back-breaking work of tilling the land, and harvesting the crops, with machinery that had seen better days. And in my prayers at night, I would offer up a special prayer for Father... that he would have the strength to do what had to be done to keep the farm going, and to keep the Depression from closing in around us.

Chair Jeff McMillan

Clayton resident launches funding campaign to aid in battle with Lyme disease relief to know what’s going on,” she feels frustrated by the unfamiliarity Canadians doctors have with the disease. The profile of Lyme has been raised due to Canadian singer Avril Lavigne’s admission she has it, but there is still a long way to go, she said.

“The doctors here, it’s not their fault. Every disease has a strict guideline to follow,” Baldwin said. “…But they are not treating Lyme here.”

It’s been a tough battle, said Baldwin, who lives in Clayton village with her husband and hasn’t been able to work since 2009.

“I can’t work…this affects your whole life – my family life, social life, career and marriage – I feel like my life was robbed from me,”

akulp@metroland.com

For much of Cindy Baldwin’s life, she’s experienced periods of unexplained sickness until a diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease began to make sense.

The 41-year-old Clayton resident recently launched a YouCaring fundraising campaign in order to raise the necessary funds that will allow her travel to the United States for proper treatment.

“Sadly, like so many dealing with Lyme and co-infections here in Canada, I cannot get the medical treatment I need and have to go to the USA,” she noted. “Cost of treatment is very expensive and it is all out of pocket.”

Baldwin is hoping to raise $50,000, which is the minimum amount she’d need for treatment at centres in Boston or Tampa Bay. “It would pay for travel and my accommodations to stay somewhere while undergoing treatment.”

“There’s no exact way to treat Lyme disease. It’s different for every patient,” she added. “…I could need three months of treatment or a year. I’ve heard people receiving treatment for up to three years.”

That treatment could be anything from rounds of antibiotics, intravenous and herbal medicines, infrared saunas, pressure chambers and blood therapy.

“Blood therapy cycles your blood,” Baldwin said. “They filter your blood through a machine and it goes back into you. Ultraviolet lights are used and kill whatever is in your blood.”

According to the Canadian Lyme Disease Foundation (CanLyme), which offers research funding for the disease and works to raise awareness, Lyme disease is an infectious illness caused by the bacteria of a tick. Symptoms of it can mirror a cold or flu, severe headaches, joint pain and fever.

Due to the wide range of possible symptoms, it is often hard to diagnose.

“Lyme disease is a challenge to diagnose and can be even tougher to treat,” states CanLyme’s website (www.canlyme.com).

“Whether you have reason to suspect infection or you’ve just been diagnosed, it’s important to learn all you can about this complex illness.”

“Lyme is the great imitator. It imitates Multiple Sclerosis and Lupus,” added Baldwin. “People have been diagnosed with these diseases and they actually have Lyme disease. It’s a problem in Canada.”

Long road Baldwin said that since the age of four, she can remember experiencing many illnesses, including rashes and fatigue. “I was always tired. I had chronic fatigue, chronic

Clayton resident Cindy Baldwin stands with a thank you sign to those who have donated to her YouCaring fundraising campaign as she struggles with her diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease. Baldwin is seeking to raise funds in order to accept treatment for her illness in the United States. pain and migraines,” she said.

Her mother would take her to the doctor, who dismissed the symptoms as food allergies or attributed them to “growing pains.”

She believes her Lyme disease could have been contracted at an early age. Having grown up on a farm outside of Metcalfe, Baldwin’s parents raised pigs, who often were covered in ticks. “My mom would pick the ticks off of us (Baldwin and her siblings),” she noted.

“So I do have a history of tick bites at that age. After that, the strange illnesses started and the chronic pain.”

“It was almost too much,” Baldwin continued. “I was the baby of four children and it was always me getting sick. It was extremely frustrating for my mom.”

As she got older, her symptoms worsened, whether it was a constant sore throat, chemical sensitivity or strange rashes and sores.

Baldwin’s condition also caused her to experience periods of insomnia, anxiety and depression.

“My immune system would get strong enough again and keep it (Lyme) in remission, but then an illness would cause it to flare up again,” she explained. “…(The disease) lays dormant in your body then decides to attack when your immune system is weak.”

She indicated that Lyme bacteria operates on a life cycle. The bacteria forms the shape of a corkscrew and makes its way into the soft tissue where it gives off toxins.

Baldwin said it’s not abnormal for her to have weeks of poor health, where her whole body hurts and

suffers from migraines, but at the end of the cycle “the toxins come out of my body where my liver and kidneys try to flush it out. It’s six to eight weeks of hell. I call it my circle of hell.”

In 2009, she hit a low point after being diagnosed with mononucleosis in 2009. “I haven’t been able to get back on the side of any type of wellness.”

“I had a year of mono-like symptoms and wasn’t getting any better. My sister was watching W5 and they had a special on Lyme disease. A light bulb went off and she said ‘That’s Cindy,’” Baldwin continued.

After years of visiting doctors and even receiving negative test results for Lyme disease in Canada (which is common, noted CanLyme), Baldwin was finally diagnosed in Plattsburgh, New York by Dr. Maureen McShane. McShane, who also suffers from chronic Lyme disease, lives in Montreal, but operates her clinic in the US. Formerly a general practitioner in Montreal, Baldwin said McShane couldn’t get the treatment she required for the disease and closed her practice to become a Lyme literate medical doctor.

There was an opportunity to accept treatment through Dr. McShane, but Baldwin was hesitant given the long distance. “She’s so far away and some of the antibiotic treatments are so complex,” she noted. “This is strong, strong medicine and I didn’t feel comfortable being in Canada and on this medication and not having my doctor close by.”

While Baldwin admitted, “it’s a

she said.

It also isn’t easy for her to ask for help. “It took me so long because I feared judgment. When you’re sick, you’re vulnerable and it’s hard to ask for help,” she commented. “But it’s getting so bad, I need help.”

Baldwin hopes she can start her treatments this spring or summer “the sooner the better,” she noted.

Those wishing to help Baldwin in her quest to raise funds for medical treatment can visit: https:// www.youcaring.com/cindy-baldwin-525256.

As YouCaring doesn’t give the option to donate using a debit card, those who wish can also send Baldwin an electronic money transfer to cbaldwin34@gmail.com.

Carleton Place Canadians’ ‘three-peat’ makes hockey history At the final buzzer sticks, gloves and helmets were hurled high in the air and the bench emptied as the victorious Carleton Place Canadians raced toward their own goal, surrounding triumphant goalie Colton Point.

As the game ended the capacity crowd at Carleton Place and District Community Centre exploded in cheers, yelling and applause that quickly became deafening in the confined space.

It’s a scene I have witnessed for three consecutive years. Always on home ice. Always on a Sunday afternoon in April!

This time around Canadians scored a thrilling 3-2 victory over a very good Ottawa Junior Senators team to win the series and the trophy in the seventh and deciding game.

The high-flying Canadians have accomplished something that’s happened just three times previously in the 55-year history of the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL).

Their “three-peat” makes them only the third team in league history to win three or more championship trophies in successive campaigns.

Pembroke Lumber Kings, the winningest franchise in the eastern Ontario loop (14 titles) and the team every club in the league seeks to emulate, have done it twice. Lumber Kings went back-to-back-toback in 1987, 1988 and 1989. From 2007-201l, under the direction of the highly capable Sheldon Keefe, Pembroke captured five straight league titles. They capped that run with a Royal Bank Cup (RBC) national championship in 2011. Keefe went on to more success coaching Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League (Major Junior). Last off-season he was named head coach of Toronto Marlies, the American Hockey League affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs where he continues to excel.

The only other CCHL club to capture three straight titles was the now defunct Cornwall Royals from 196668. Cornwall has another CCHL team, the Colts who have also experienced success since entering the league in 1988. Colts have captured the championship trophy, officially the Bogart-Nielsen Cup, five times.

Their most recent title was in 2013.

This week Carleton Place is in Woodstock, New Brunswick hoping to bring home a third straight Eastern Canadian Junior A championship. Their opponents in the Fred Page Cup (FPC) tournament are the host Woodstock Slammers of the Maritime Hockey League (MHL) along with Pictou County Weeks Crushers from New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, champions of the MHL and College Francais de Longueuil, perennial champions of the Quebec Junior A league. Longueuil is a Montreal suburb.

In a short tournament (May 4-8)

against strong opponents, winning the FPC won’t be easy!

Clarke catalyst The chief architect of Canadians’ success is head coach, general manager and owner Jason Clarke.

It is arguable that Clarke’s teams were favoured to win the CCHL title the past two seasons. The very talented 2013-2014 squad captured a first league trophy for the young franchise in April 2014. They went on to claim the club’s first FPC in St. Jerome, Quebec. Then Carleton Place shocked the Canadian junior hockey establishment, coming within an eyelash of winning the national title. They fell 4-3 in overtime to Yorkton (Saskatchewan) Terriers in the 2014 RBC title game in Vernon, British Columbia. Carleton Place led the contest 3-1 late in the third period but Yorkton netted twice in just eight seconds to force the extra period. It is the only overtime game in RBC final history!

With a solid nucleus of returning players Carleton Place was a heavy favourite in 2014-2015. They rolled to the CCHL title and then bested a good team from Dieppe, New Brunswick (a Moncton suburb) to claim a second straight Fred Page championship game. In so doing they earned back-to-back appearances at the RBC which, last May, was played in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.

Canadians qualified for the semifinals where they needed overtime to eliminate a strong Penticton Vees squad from the British Columbia Junior Hockey League (BCJHL).

The next day a tired group of Carleton Place players faced another team of Terriers, this time from the host community. Portage thrilled the partisan crowd by easing past Canadians 5-2 to secure the 2014-2015 national Junior A crown.

Sure, it was disappointing to come up short in the biggest game in Junior A hockey in consecutive years.

But flip it around and consider this!

Many teams never win their own league title, let alone two straight trophies along with back-to-back Eastern Canadian championships.

Now the Canadians, in just their seventh campaign in Junior A hockey, have chalked up three consecutive CCHL championship victories.

By any standard that’s an amazing run of success.

Personally I don’t feel Carleton Place has received the kind of respect they have earned at the national level. For example, in the weekly national rankings posted by the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) they haven’t always received their due. During the previous two campaigns they often languished behind a number of teams who failed to emulate Canadians’ success in the regional and national playoffs.

At one point last season I was

Reflections

miffed enough to email my opinion to the Junior A powers-that-be in Calgary. The CJHL represents 10 Junior A leagues across Canada, some of which have entries in the northern United States as well.

This season I did my best to track the weekly CJHL rankings. To my knowledge Canadians only made the Top 10 once.

True, they didn’t post the kind of numbers they did in 2013-2014 (their best ever campaign) or equal the success of last season. But they still finished on top of the overall standings, albeit just a single point in front of Ottawa. Surely the previous two seasons, coupled with a third very successful run in 2015-2016 should mean more to those who compile the list?

Admittedly teams from Western Canada have dominated Junior A hockey. In the 20 year history of the RBC, 15 of the winners have come from the west including seven from British Columbia alone. Vernon Vipers of the BCJHL have won the RBC four times. Previously the national championship trophy was the Manitoba Centennial Cup (19711995). Western teams also captured 18 of 25 Centennial Cup showdowns.

Top winners Vernon (the team was called the Lakers in the 1990s) is the winningest franchise nationally. Lakers claimed two Centennial Cups meaning Vernon teams have six titles to their credit.

B.C. leads the overall standings with an even dozen Canadian crowns. Ontario is tied with Saskatchewan for second with 10 Junior A titles apiece. Alberta teams have claimed eight crowns, Manitoba three while Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have one each.

Strangely the Quebec league, which often produces very competitive teams, has never won at the national level.

The only teams from the CCHL (previously Central Junior Hockey League) to win Canadian honours are the now defunct Rockland Nationals (they won the Centennial Cup on home ice in 1976) and Pembroke. Lumber Kings won the 2011 title in Camrose, Alberta blanking Vernon 2-0 in the final. Their goaltender that year, Francis Dupuis, who Kings obtained in a January trade with Carleton Place, was the MVP. As for Clarke and the Canadians,

the long-time hockey man shrugs off any suggestion that he has created a hockey dynasty in Carleton Place.

But with five championships in his pocket in just nine years (two in Junior B and three in Junior A) there’s little wonder some in the regional media are attaching “dynasty” to stories about the hockey club.

“The only dynasty is this league is Pembroke,” Clarke told me, pointing to Lumber Kings’ five straight titles under Keefe.

Personally I think it’s smart to play it low key. Clarke has never been a braggart. His approach is to play a game at a time, a month at a time and a season at a time. Based on my considerable experience with him, he doesn’t look backward or forward.

In February, with his Canadians in the midst of a slump related directly to several injuries to key players, I asked Clarke how he was feeling with the season quickly winding down and first place overall on the line.

“They hand out the championship trophy in April, not in February,” he observed dryly.

Clearly truer words were never spoken!

If you talk to long-time Carleton Place fans the first thing you are

likely to hear is that they fear Clarke will follow the same path as Keefe, moving up to coach Major Junior and eventually entering professional coaching ranks.

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. He has earned the opportunity and surely he is on a number of watch lists?

At the nail-biting seventh game of the CCHL championship series against Ottawa I sat next to Carleton Place Deputy Mayor Jerry Flynn, a long-time friend. When it was over and we stood applauding the cheering with the rest of Canadians’ ardent supporters I told Jerry, “We are watching local sports history here.

How many consecutive trophies can one team win?”

The answer will come later this week at the FPC in New Brunswick.

Carleton Place plays their second round-robin game this afternoon.

Win or lose in this tournament the Carleton Place Canadians have already written their names in Eastern Ontario hockey history. Their winning streak is a rare and special occurrence and something everyone in the community should be proud of!

The Carleton Place Canadians were given a royal send-off at the Neelin Street Community Centre on April 30. The Canadians are off to compete for the Fred Page Cup, after claiming the Bogart Cup on April 24, following a thrilling game seven victory over the Ottawa Junior Senators. The event featured a barbecue and road hockey. Above, four-yearold Kiera Kavanagh danced happily during the event.

UCDSB trustees talk budget, First Nations education, Learning Commons at meeting The following are highlights from the April 27 meeting of Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) trustees at the board office in Brockville.

Director of education Stephen Sliwa presented an update to trustees on First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) education within the board.

As a follow-up to a discussion on FNMI education in December, Sliwa told trustees the board has taken several steps to support this important branch of education.

Those efforts have included: a visit by senior administrators and trustees to a board meeting of the Ahkwesahsne Mohawk Board of Education as part of an overall effort to invest in a productive and respectful relationship with the Akwesasne community; a letter from chair Jeff McMillan to Education Minister Liz Sandals offering recommendations in regards to FNMI education; and sponsorship of two upcoming Truth and Reconciliation Commission +1 meetings.

The regional meetings, to be held next month at Naismith Memorial Public School in Almonte and Rothwell-Osnabruck School in Ingleside, will include learning sessions with indigenous elders and knowledge keepers, and a facilitated discussion on what reconciliation means.

South Crosby Public School presentation Principal Monique Antoine-Hartley reported on how her school is using its School Improvement Plan for Student Achievement (SIPSA) to increase student literacy and math skills.

The school is using techniques such as shared reading, guided reading and modelled writing to improve literacy skills, and math strategies such as the use of math talk and three-part lesson plans to improve

math scores.

Long-term accommodation projections report Superintendent of district alignment Phil Dawes presented a report on the number of student spaces the board will need between now and 2030.

The report concentrated on three key factors including: the current and 15-year projected enrolments for UCDSB schools; the projected availability of school spaces during the same period; and projections of each school building’s condition and costs relating to its on-going maintenance and repair.

Update on 2015-2016 budget Superintendent of business Nancy Barkley presented her second financial forecast to the board for the current fiscal year. It reflects an anticipated in-year deficit of $720,380, a significant improvement since the superintendent’s Revised Budget report in January 2016.

Barkley said the 20152016 budget remains ministry compliant while allowing the board to focus on its key goals of student achievement and student well-being.

84,858 students, made 272 presentations to 1,955 teachers, and provided one-on-one research help to staff and students more than 12,000 times.

‘Meet the North’ with Jennifer Kingsley at MVFN Spring Gathering 2016 The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists, a local member of the Ontario Nature Network will hold their seventh annual Spring Gathering on May 19 at the Almonte Civitan Community Hall. The evening will feature a banquet and a keynote presentation by award-winning naturalist and journalist Jennifer Kingsley.

Kingsley first met the north on long canoe trips, and is the author of Paddlenorth: Adventure, Resilience, and Renewal in the Arctic Wild, winner of a top prize at the 2015 National Outdoor Book Awards. Her work as a broadcast journalist has been recognized by the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University. In 2015 Jennifer Kingsley founded the “Meet the North” project, and during the past year, as field correspondent for Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic she has undertaken a remarkable journey – from home in Ottawa, to Europe, Svalbard (an Norwegian archipelago), Iceland, Greenland and towns in the Canadian Arctic – to understand the ecology, the culture, and most importantly the people of remote and northern lands which are increasingly the focus of global attention.

In her presentation “Meet the North: Life in the Arctic, One Introduction at a Time,” Kinglsey will take us on a journey around the top of the world with stories you won’t find in

Condominium investors in Vancouver and Toronto display stable characteristics over time.

Most are small-scale investors that own only one secondary unit, nearly one-half purchased their last secondary unit for rental income and most expect to own their investment property for more than five years, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) 2015 Condominium Owners Survey (COS) released recently.

The annual report, focused on the Vancouver and Toronto Census Metropolitan Areas, includes survey insights on what motivates condo purchases, how long owners hold onto their units, and the mortgagefinancing profile of condominium owners whose primary dwelling is a freehold or condominium unit but who also own at least one secondary condominium unit. These households are referred to in the report as

The topic of foreign ownership in Canada’s housing markets continues to gain in importance and attention. In line with its commitment to sharing insightful information as it becomes available, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) released its latest Housing Market Insights (HMI) report on this recently.

The report looks at the share of foreign ownership by the age of structure and is meant to be read in tandem with CMHC’s fall 2015 HMI report on Foreign Ownership.

Findings reveal that share of foreign ownership is most prominent in new condominium apartment structures in Toronto and to a lesser extent in the Vancouver Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs).

The share of foreign ownership is most prominent in the newer structures in Toronto Centre.

“The really interesting thing about this report is

COS investors.

Highlights of the report include: • Results are very stable over surveys.

• Nearly one-half of COS investors purchased their last secondary unit for rental income.

• About 60 per cent plan to hold onto their last purchases unit for more than five years versus eight per cent planning to sell their unit in less than two years.

• Nearly three-quarters have only one unit and roughly 90 per cent do not plan on buying new units in year following the survey.

• Fifty-six per cent expect their units to appreciate, 35 per cent do not expect a significant change and five per cent anticipate a decrease in value.

• The share of COS investors with a mortgage on their last purchased unit (at the time of the survey) stood at 53 per cent.

This is slightly below the share

the insight it provides into foreign ownership of condominiums in Canada by age of structure,” stated Bob Dugan, CMHC chief economist. “For example, in the downtown core of Toronto, we know that, in buildings completed since 2010, about 10 per cent of those units are owned by foreign buyers. This compares to about 2.3 per cent for units completed during the 1990s. This represented another piece in the puzzle of foreign investment in Canada. It remains a top priority for CMHC to continue to get more information on foreign investment in Canada’s housing market.”

In the Toronto CMA, the share of foreign ownership is less than two per cent for buildings completed before 1990 and seven per cent for newer constructions completed since 2010. This effect is even more pronounced in Toronto Centre, where about 10 per cent of the newer stock

reported for all home owners (59 per cent) in Statistics Canada’s 2011 National Household Survey.

• The surveys of Toronto and Vancouver produced similar results. However, a larger share of respondents in Toronto expect the value of their units to increase than in Vancouver, but the gap is closing.

COS investors, as defined by CMHC, exclude households that own only one condominium unit in which they reside, as well as households that own a secondary unit but rent their primary residence.

is owned by foreigners. In the Vancouver CMA, foreign buyers’ share rises from less than two per cent for properties built before 1990 to about six per cent for those completed since 2010.

At this time, no existing tool can provide a definitive measure of the level of foreign investment in Canada’s housing markets. That said, CMHC regularly engages in discussions internally, as well as with industry experts, as part of its continued efforts to develop a program of work that would better capture data on foreign buyers.

Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5: The Musical romps into Studio Theatre June 2 Workin’ nine to five, what a way to make a livin’, Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’.

They just use your mind, and they never give you credit, It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it!

Who can believe it’s been 36 years since those words and that music burst onto North American movie screens? And who didn’t get swept up in the story of three friends who go to war with their chauvinistic, dim-witted boss? The movie struck a chord with everyone who saw it.

On June 2, the Broadway musical version of 9 to 5 will strike a chord all over again, right here in Perth.

“I’m crazy-thrilled about being able to bring 9 To 5: The Musical to Perth!” says C. Lee Bates, the gifted director who has perennially capped off the Studio Theatre’s season of plays with musicals like Little Women: The Musical and The Drowsy Chaperone.

“The Broadway show was written

by Patricia Resnick – who also wrote the movie – and of course the music is by the great Dolly Parton”, says C. Lee. “There are rhythmic and key changes in almost every song, with musical styles from country and pop to gospel and funk. If you loved the movie, you’ll be wild about the musical!”

Photo courtesy Len Modderman

9 to 5: The Musical in rehearsal: Left to right, Jeff Kohl boss under threat by Judy (Lauren Bailey) in her fanplays Frank Hart, the big bad boss, while Violet (Lind- tasy-come-to-life. The show premieres June 2 at the say Rewi) and Doralee (Cait Morton) enjoy seeing the Studio Theatre in Perth for eight performances.

When 9 To 5: The Musical opened on Broadway it received a record 15 Drama Desk and four Tony Award nominations. While it’s very much a

light-hearted comedy, the subtext of message palatable, but still hard-hitgender inequality is still relevant to- ting. day. Like the movie, it uses humour With 17 cast members and a full and satire to make a powerful social 10-piece orchestra, C. Lee Bates says

this show is one of the most ambitious ever mounted by Studio Theatre Productions.

“We have four leads, two featured performers, and an 11-member ensemble, all incredibly talented and experienced musical theatre performers.

And what’s a musical without great music? We’re thrilled to have an orchestra of 10 professional musicians, assembled by Mark Bailey and led by conductor Alexandra Guerin.”

Other production credits go to Jane Stott, producer; Leah Williams, vocal director; and choreographer/ performer Courtney Mason. The set is designed by C. Lee Bates and Reiner Silberhorn, and brought to life by a gifted team of builders, painters and scenic designers.

Don’t miss this super-energized, terrifically entertaining show when it premieres at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore Street East, on Thursday, June 2 for eight performances only. Advance tickets are $25 (cash) at The Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E., and at Tickets Please (ticketsplease.ca) and Shadowfax (shadowfax.on.ca) both of which accept credit cards and charge a convenience fee. Tickets are $27 at the door; students with ID pay just $10 at the door. Attend opening night and save $5! Visit studiotheatreperth.com for details.

May 1 to 7 is Emergency Preparedness Week across the country The first week of May is Emergency Preparedness Week across the country. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit works with our local municipalities, counties and government agencies to help reduce the impact of emergencies and disasters on people living in our communities.

We encourage everyone to be aware of their surroundings, the pos-

sible risks and consider what you can do to prepare yourself and your family including pets before an emergency occurs. It is not uncommon every year that there are seasonal extreme weather events such as winter storms that we likely can forecast, and severe summer weather that can develop quickly. These weather events can cause power outages, delays in delivery of supplies including food,

and dangerous travel conditions. It is important to have an emergency kit that can sustain your family for a minimum of 72 hours to help you through times when services may not be readily available.

When creating your kit consider sufficient amounts of non-perishable food that can be prepared without cooking, a supply of bottled water, first aid kit, clothing and blankets.

Stakeholders welcome to engage in Canadian conversation around sustainable beef The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) was created in 2014 to help advance sustainability in the Canadian beef industry and address consumer interest in where their food comes from and how it is raised. One of the CRSB’s areas of work focuses on developing a meaningful Sustainable Sourcing Framework; this work is being led by two of the CRSB’s multi-stakeholder

committees.

“We have over 90 members and observers, who have a common vision to advance the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the Canadian beef industry,” noted Cherie Copithorne-Barnes, Canadian cattle rancher and chair of the CRSB. “We are working hard to set the framework for sustainable beef in Canada and welcome others to join us. One

strength of the CRSB is the broad representation of perspectives at the table, which allows us to have invaluable discussions on complex topics.”

The Sustainable Sourcing Framework consists of indicators and assurance protocols, and is organized around the five global principles for sustainable beef: 1) Natural Resources; 2) People and the Community; 3) Animal Health and Welfare; 4) Food;

Comedy duo Key and Peele turn absurd storyline into complete hilarity MOVIE: Keanu STARRING: Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key, Tiffany Haddish, Method Man, Will Forte and Luis Guzman DIRECTOR: Peter Atencio RATING: 14A Keanu is the story of what one man and his cousin are willing to do to rescue a kitten that’s been stolen by drug dealers. Seriously, that’s what Keanu is about. It’s absurd, but it totally works.

In walk two obviously dangerous individuals who begin shooting everyone.

It’s a stunning action scene akin to something out of The Matrix or Hard Boiled. In the midst of it all is a small kitten who escapes the carnage.

Looking for a home the kitten finds himself on the doorstep of Rell (Jordan Peele). Having recently been MARK HASKINS dumped by his girlfriend Rell immediately takes in the small animal, and commiserate, and take Rell out for a names him Keanu. Not long after movie. his cousin and best friend Clarence When they get back Rell’s place has (Keegan-Michael Key) comes over to been trashed, and Keanu is missing.

The police come, but offer little help.

Rell goes next door to his neighbour and dealer Hulka (Will Forte) to see if he knows anything. It turns out a street gang looking for Hulka might have mixed up the address.

There’s no way Rell is going to leave Keanu in the hands of drug dealers.

So logically Rell and Clarence, two unassuming middle class guys, decide to infiltrate a hard core street gang to save a kitten. Ya, that makes sense.

The absurdity of Keanu is mind blowing. If you saw the idea on pa-

per there’s no way you would make this into a feature film. Yet this is one of the funniest action-comedies I’ve seen. These guys can draw you right in to whatever they’re doing. You believe it even to the point where taking on a street gang to rescue a kitten makes a kind of sense, and yet deep down you know it’s crazy. Yet you want it to happen because it’s suddenly the funniest thing you’ve ever seen.

Fiery flamenco comes to Perth’s Full Circle Theatre May 28 When Marta and Richard Moir bring their music to Perth’s Full Circle Theatre on May 28, it will be almost a homecoming for them. Based in Montreal, Perth is just a hop and a step away, compared to venues such as New Delhi, Dubai, Moscow, Athens, Australia, Spain and Romania, where they have played.

Concerts Flamenco, as the Moirs are billed, have toured the world with their brand of traditional flamenco music and everywhere they have played, the critics have raved over their performances. The Mexican newspaper Por Esto! exclaimed, “Constant applause…confirmed the quality and beauty of Spanish folklore…Marta and Richard provided it with real professionalism and emotion, winning an enthusiastic audience. The atmosphere in the (theatre) on Saturday night was excitingly flamenco…an unforgettable evening.” In Greece, the Patros newspaper said, “The spectators enjoy as much the magic of the flamenco music as the passion of the artists.”

And that’s what flamenco is all about: passion. Flamenco music, as a form, has roots that go back many centuries, to a time when southern Spain was dominated by the Moorish people. The Middle Eastern influences on the native music of southern Spain, combined with

magical rhythm of the Spanish guitar” from a Russian newspaper.

They have taken their music to parts of the world where flamenco has its beginnings – India, the Middle East and Europe – but they have also ventured to places where the music is a new flavour. As if that didn’t take enough courage, they have even performed a concert at Castle Bran – also known as Dracula’s Castle – although that show was in the afternoon, not at night.

Concerts Flamenco will perform on May 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Tickets Submitted photo are available at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street, Perth, 613-267-6817 or at

Fiery Flamenco at Full Circle Theatre: Montreal’s Marta and Richard Moir bring their world-travelled flamenco music to Perth on May 28.

The duo has played across the globe, from Canada to Spain, from Australia to India and even – as pictured here – at Castle Bran, which once belonged to Dracula! The couple’s has been praised everywhere, even in Spain, itself. those of Spain’s Jewish population and the Indian influence of the Romany people came together to create a distinctive and instantly recognizable sound. The name itself has a number of theories about its origin, some thinking it comes from an Arabic word describing the exiled state of its Jewish and Romany performers and some thinking it simply describes the fiery passion in the music.

Marta and Richard have that passion in abundance and it is reflected in their music. They concentrate mostly on two of the three aspects of flamenco, toque (guitar) and cante (the voice), although Marta, who is from Spain originally, has been known to give an occasional display of baile or dance. “Marta and Richard Moir from Canada… make hearts beat in unison…to the

KeeganMichael Key has such incredible expression, and an uncanny ability to flip from suburban speak to street speak, Jordan Peele has wicked delivery, and drops some of the funniest lines to grace any action or comedy movie. When they’re together they know no bounds and know no limits.

While Concerts Flamenco heats up the stage, the Full Circle Theatre is preparing a set of hot productions for the summer, as BarnDoor Productions rehearses a series of musicals to mark Perth’s 200th Anniversary. From a “drama with music” about Perth’s famous duel in June to an “evening of harmony, comedy and sobriety” about Perth’s 19th century Temperance Movement in July to a “musical chiller” about nefarious doings at Rideau Ferry in 1830, it’s a once in a life-time series of shows. All the details are at www. barndoorproductions.ca.

Key and Peele take up most of the screen time, but they also surround themselves with a great supporting cast. Tiffany Haddish, Method Man, Will Forte, Nia Long, and Luis Guzman all commit, and are fantastic.

Keanu isn’t just a great comedy.

They pull out all the stops to make a wicked action movie. Gun fights, car chases, back flips, you name it they did it, and they did it with style. A definite must-see.

New regulations for safety standards certificate kick in July 1 It surprises many to see vehicles on the road that are in need of some serious repairs.

Our current government vehicle inspection system only requires that most passenger cars and light trucks receive a check-over when they change owners. New regulations for the Ontario Safety Standards Certificate begin on July 1 of this year. This set of rules hasn’t received any serious updates for decades and the new list of standards and items inspected is bound to catch a lot of consumers and shops off guard. Fortunately for licensed garages, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation has been holding townhall style meetings this spring with technicians and shop operators to educate everyone about the new rules.

One change that will please plenty of drivers on the road is the new rules on High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. These very bright lights with their distinctive white-blue hue have been optional equipment on a number of higher end vehicles for over a decade. But the problem that bugs most drivers occurs when vehicle owners

install HID bulbs in vehicles that were never designed to take them. These modifications usually result in a wide wash of extremely bright and unfocused light that blind oncoming drivers. Starting on July 1, vehicles that have been equipped with HID lights after they were manufactured will no longer meet Ontario Safety Standards.

So in the event of an inspection for change of ownership, they will have to be reverted to their normal lamps and if a police officer pulls one over for a roadside check an order can be issued to rectify the lights.

Cracks in windshields are something that a lot of drivers take for granted and sometimes take more time than they should to rectify.

When you consider that on most passenger vehicles the windshield can provide up to 50 per cent of the structural strength of its roof in a rollover, driving with a cracked windshield is a risky affair.

When a vehicle with a cracked windshield rolls onto its roof, the roof is very likely to collapse faster and farther into the passenger compartment

than it would if the glass was undamaged.

If you do your own seasonal tire changeovers and forgot to mark the location of each wheel when you took off the summers, you can easily determine the direction of rotation with your hand. With today’s modern tire design and manufacturing processes, it’s not the end of the world if you do put them on the wrong side, but you will get the maximum life and performance from them if you keep them on the same side of the vehicle and only rotate them from front to rear.

With the tire/wheel’s outer side facing you, run your hand flat and clockwise over the tread (in the direction it travels, not side to side). If it feels smoother in the clockwise direction compared to the counter-clockwise movement, you have a left side tire in front of you. If you have

directional tires on your vehicle, the tire maker has taken all the guess work out of this by imprinting an arrow on the sidewall indicating which way it should rotate. These types of tires should never have their rotation direction reversed.

If you’re not sure which set to put on the front or rear, a good rule to follow for frontwheel drive vehicles is to put the tires with the deepest tread on the rear.

When you do switch over tires, take the time to inspect the area on the wheel hub where the centre of the wheel rim fits. Also check the corresponding area on the wheel

rim. Look for any rust buildup and if you find any, use a wire brush or sandpaper to remove it all. Any rust, grit, or hard deposits can prevent the wheel from running true and may cause vibrations.

It’s also a good idea to brush a little copper-based grease on the hub mounting point to make it easier to remove the wheel for the next tire change or in the case of a roadside blow-out.

If you ever have to use some extreme force to remove a rusted-on wheel and don’t have a heavy hammer handy, lower the vehicle off the jack with the wheel nuts partially on. Then try rocking the vehi-

Playing ball is one of my very favourite pastimes, it hardly wears me out.

I do however also enjoy sitting beside you, leaning in to you for some good back scratches after a tiring day. I love all the affection I can get.

Because I still need more training and since I am very strong I might walk over little children. So living in a home with older kids would be better at this time.

A potential adopter needs to be familiar with my kind of breed and be willing to take the time for me as I need more socialization. I like to further improve myself in obedience and leash skills. I am sure if you help me with all of that I can be your very loyal friend for life. Hope there is someone out there to give me a chance.

Please call LAWS at 613-283-9308 to make an appointment to meet me.

Looking forward to it, woof from Jaxson.

What goes around comes around: The evolution of music, stereo equipment buses or hiking in some hinterland, I could have my music along to make just about anything that much better.

Technical evolution to digital has made a lot of these remnant cassette machines obsolete, especially the two double-cassette decks in the pictured stacks but, in their day, those machines allowed me to create mixed tapes and copy them easily. Every time I see a BIC pen shaft I harken back to the preamble of first inserting it in one of the cassette wheels and gently turning, while holding the other wheel still, to take the slack out of the tape, then visually lining up the leader tape to maximize recording length. Every Christmas I made probably 40 to 50 copies of that year’s mix. This allowed me to ‘turn on’ friends and family to music they would normally not have ever heard.

It took hours and hours but, for me, it was time well spent as the results gave diverse musical introductions to those I gave them to.

Sitting on top of the right stack of equipment, in the picture, sits my old Sanyo portable cassette stereo, complete with separating speakers, a built-in equalizer and the impetus for more parties on the road than I’ll ever remember. I had a locking metal box with foam inside made to transport it safely. It went with me everywhere, to conferences, hockey team trips, meetings, holidays, in more hotel rooms around North America than I could ever remember, providing the background and sometimes the dance music to make many a party successful. If that machine could talk…

Now here’s the funny part. After trying to sell these two stacks of gear at a yard sale last year, the Sanyo being the only sale to a young lad on my street who knew he could plug his CD player into the auxiliary plugs, I made a last stop before heading to an electrical recycler with a trunk load to a local retro music store who

traded it all for a lovely, gently-used turntable so I can now listen again to my phonographs!

What goes around, comes around.

My listening continues.

I cleared out most of my previously used stereo equipment from our attic a while ago. The resulting two stacks of electronic gear brought back many fond memories. Music has always been an essential element of my life, so, like a good recipe, I’ve always loved to share the music I enjoy.

I still remember getting my first brand-spanking new stereo in 1975 from AJM Electronics on Yonge Street in Toronto. My brother, Drew, worked there so I bought a 25 watt stereo receiver/amplifier and a pair of custom, in-store built, speakers with wood cabinets I still use today.

I can still feel the thrill and satisfaction I first felt when I set them up in my apartment in Burlington, hooking my turntable to it and sitting back admiringly, thinking I had created my own paradise, right there in my living room. My record collection got lots of airplay as it was on whenever I was home, either listening myself or sharing artists with friends and family.

Though I usually travelled, back then, with favourite phonograph records packed in my luggage, they weren’t really portable so when compact cassettes came out in the early ‘70s, their portability took me and the world by storm. Being able to record my albums onto cassettes and play on the car tape deck I’d had installed, (and them not skipping when you hit a bump), opened up my world of musical listening enjoyment. This gave me the opportunity to start making my own custom compilation cassettes for road trips or just cruising, each with 90 minutes of music, thus also avoiding having to listen to commercials on radio. When the Sony Walkman came out in 1979, again, portability with good sound allowed us to put on our headphones and enjoy our own custom soundtrack wherever we were.

Whether travelling on trains, planes,

Theatre Night in Merrickville takes a trip to Scotland Got Events?

Ghost stories are not new to Merrickville, pretty well every old house in the village has a story or two to tell which makes Theatre Night in Merrickville (TNIM) production of the heartwarming comedy Hamish

by Michael Grant all the more appropriate.

“I found this play in a Theatre Ontario anthology of fulllength plays,” said Margaret Shearman, director. “I really liked it and it’s written by a Canadian who actually went to Scotland to research the play.”

Set in the Scottish Highlands, Hamish is about a young Canadian wife, Kelli who books a trip for her overworked lawyer husband, Gordon and herself to his ancestor’s former homestead in the Scottish highlands. She plans to announce some big news in the romantic setting, but they soon discover they are not alone. A long deceased ancestor is still wandering the rooms of the old homestead. Together with a few of the locals, the couple coached by the ghost find themselves embroiled in saving the old homestead from a rival clan and preserving it in the family name.

“The ghost is an interesting part, because it can be played in so many different ways,” said Stef Robar, who plays Hamish.

Only one person (and the audience) can see the ghost, which inevitably sets the stage of some great laughs.

Not only is Hamish ‘invisible’ to all but his next of kin, but he’s over six feet tall and dressed in a great kilt.

“We had a challenge finding a great kilt, but Dave Williams, a TNIM member and a former professional piper has been helping us out,” said Shearman.

A great kilt, explained Williams, unlike a running kilt is nine yards of tartan pleated in situ and held with a broad belt. It is a full-length garment in two layers so that the upper potion can be thrown over the shoulder like a cape or flipped up over the head like a cowl.

“The great kilt dates back to the 16th century and it didn’t disappear until the late 1950s, now it’s mostly the walking kilt that you see today,” said Williams.

Needless to say, with that much fabric and that many pleats the author couldn’t resist.

“There is quite a bit of kilt humour,” confirms Bronwen McKnight, producer.

The play opens at the Merrickville Community Centre on Friday, May 13 and runs until Sunday, May 15. Performances on Friday and Saturday start at 8 p.m. and at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

Workers’ day of mourning met with asbestos ban call Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Calls for a total ban on asbestos reached Perth last week, during the Day of Remembrance for workers injured or killed on the job.

The annual ceremony was held at the memorial plaque in the Tay Basin on Thursday, April 28, the 25th year that the labour movement has observed the day. Chris MacDonald, assistant to Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) president Hassan Yussuff, the special guest speaker at the Perth event, pledged that “we are calling on the federal government for a full, comprehensive ban on asbestos.”

He claimed that while Canada still produces asbestos of its own, and exports it from the town that bears its name, Asbestos, Quebec, Canada imported $8 million worth of asbestos last year – double the $4 million that was imported in 2011.

He added that about two million Canadians die annually from exposure to asbestos. Even his boss, Yussuff, a former mechanic, has been exposed to it in his former profession.

While this was, in part, because “they slowed down on their mining,” said MacDonald, a two-year resident of Carleton Place, asbestos can still be found in some unlikely places. While it is no longer used for home construction in this country, it is found in brake pads, which are “still loaded with asbestos.” While this would be of obvious concern for mechanics and those in the auto industry, the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) has raised concerns about asbestos still being present in

many schools. MacDonald said that this concern was why the CLC also wanted to see a national registry of buildings with asbestos.

While the asbestos announcement was top of mind for MacDonald, the reason for the day of mourning was not lost during the ceremony. In fact, the loss of a friend at work was why he joined the labour movement in the first place.

Many years ago, working as a gas technician, a friend of his died of asphyxiation while working on a gas pipeline.

“That’s what started my activism,” he said, following through on a commitment he made to his late friend’s family. “Every year, thousands of workers are killed on the job, just for getting up and going to work.” As a labour movement, and as a society, he said, we need to “make sure that they (workers) make it home to their families.”

Ike Doornekamp, who works at the T.R. Leger alternative school in Perth, representing OSSTF (Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation) district 26, who served as the host for the noon-hour ceremony, agreed, saying that “we are gathered here to remember. We want to make the workplace as safe as possible.” Later that evening, labour movement members were to gather near the cenotaph, to add names to the workers’ memorial floor to anyone who wanted to share a story about how their lives have been there.

“We don’t want to (add names) but touched by workplace deaths.

Gemmill’s brother Alphonse had we have to,” said Doornekamp. “always said he would be dead before he was 50.” Sadly for Joseph, AlA brother remembers Joseph Gemmill stepped up to phonse was right. Alphonse worked speak when Doornekamp opened the on the railway near Cobourg, Ont.,

On Aug. 1, 1970, Alphonse was near the train tracks when a “train came in and he said, ‘Look at those sparks,’” coming from the train’s wheels. One of the train’s wheels came off, and the train derailed, hitting a vehicle – which then “went over on top of him.”

In a darkly ironic twist, proving Alphonse’s premonition of his early death right, he was buried on Aug. 5, 1970 – what would have been his 50th birthday.

Many years later, in another sad twist, one of Alphonse’s sons was also killed by a train.

Courthouse cannons will return for 200th Four Highlands’ residents

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

If you’re wondering where the Perth courthouse cannons have been lately, don’t worry, they’re coming back soon.

A report by Shannon Baillon, the town’s director of community services, filed with the town council on Tuesday, April 12, reports that the two refurbished 18th century cannons, complete with re-built carriages, will be once again placed in front of the Perth courthouse at 43 Drumond St. E. The cannons have been jointly owned by both the town and Lanark County since 1982. They first arrived in Perth in 1821 “to be used for saluting purposes on high days and holidays.” A newspaper article from 1980 said that, at the dawn of the 1980s, “they had been installed in front of the courthouse for over a century at that point, so we can assume that they have been there since at least 1880,” wrote Baillon.

The joint ownership agreement between the town and the county stipulate that “the cannons will be located in front of the courthouse,” and there are already two semi-circle sections in the court’s front driveway dedicated to

Laurie Weir/METROLAND

One of the returned cannons, as seen in front of the court house this past Saturday. the cannons and their respective carriages.

The carriage wheels were replaced in 1982, “and, after further deterioration, it was decided in 2015 to replace both of the carriages completely. The new carriages are constructed of white oak,” wrote Baillon. This type of wood was chosen, she states, because it was the “wood of choice for structural work in a marine environment,” and was finished with the Swedish Alback paint system.

“This system uses linseed oil as a penetrant then linseed oil paint with my dryers or additives, resulting in a finish that stays flexible, and will never peel or chalk,” wrote Baillon.

However, there will have to be additional security measures taken to secure the cannons, such as: Attaching heavy clips from the cannon to the carriage. “The weld would need to be ground away with power tools, meaning that a thief would require power and would make substantial noise if grinding these welds was attempted.”

In order to secure the carriage to the ground, workers installing the carriages would need to “remove the pavers at the wheel contact point, pour a cement pad below and use a strong U-bolt to secure the carriage. The Ubolt will likely be stainless steel which resists grinding more than regular steel.”

Bright spot lights are also being installed at the courthouse. “This ensures that the area that the cannons are situated is very well lit.”

Both cannons and their carriages have been appraised and are covered under the town’s insurance policy.

Their refurbishment was covered under the 2016 budget.

Conlon Farm camera controversy deferred to May 10 council meeting Coun. Turner claims cameras can deter some child predators

Desmond Devoy

Perth Coun. Riq Turner is not backing down in his fight to have cameras installed at Conlon Farm – even invoking the prospect of preventing child abductions as one of many reasons to consider the cameras.

A motion by Turner to defer the matter to the Tuesday, May 10 committee of the whole (COW) meeting was passed by a margin of four to two, with Mayor John Fenik, and councillors Jim Graff and Ed McPherson supporting Turner, while Deputy Mayor John Gemmell and Coun. Jim Boldt voted against the motion at the Tuesday, April 26 town council meeting.

“If you have cameras there, that will make them (predators) seek another venue,” said Turner during the lively debate.

However, Fenik took exception to this, telling Turner later that “surveillance cameras don’t protect your children.”

As the debate started on the original motion to ban surveillance cameras from all townowned property, Gemmell was

already anticipating that “we will probably be revisiting this” at a later date. “We don’t have a crime wave here in Perth.

But the money does add up” for damaged town property, he conceded.

Boldt said that while vandalism was aggravating to the vast majority of citizens, “this goes on in every town.” He threw down the gauntlet and said that if it could be proven to him “that we can deter crime (with cameras)…I will reconsider my position on this.”

Graff admitted that while the Perth police services board – of which he is the chairman – had voted in favour of cameras, he said that vandalism was not the only problem at the farm, but littering too. Pointing to the Legion’s little league field this past fall, he said that “it was an absolute mess. It looked like our landfill site. When I was going to school, you were taught to leave the place like you found it…For God’s sake, it doesn’t need to be left like a pig pen.”

Graff added that “we don’t want every building we own covered in cameras,” but he

Deputy Mayor John Gemmell makes a point during the April 12 town council meeting. noted that Conlon Farm was a special case since “it is an isolated area.”

However, after Turner had introduced his motion to defer to May 10, Gemmell took exception, saying that “we discussed it once.” The evening’s motion regarding cameras was also calling for increased surveillance and patrols by the town’s by-law enforcement unit.

“Whether that will help or

not, I don’t know,” said Gemmell, but he suggested that it at least be allowed to be implemented first.

When it comes to cameras, “there is considerable protocol that needs to be followed,” said Boldt. “It’s not as easy as it looks,” to just install cameras.

But Turner remained undeterred. “There is a disconnect,” Turner said. “We believe in the best in ourselves.” But by not

putting up cameras, he charged, “we are wasting money replacing things, year after year,” he said. And as for the Orwellian fears of “banks and banks of monitors,” with town staff hunched over them, “that’s just now how it works. No one is watching. There are some fears that need to be alleviated.”

Town staff were also directed to find out from neighbouring municipalities, like Smiths Falls and Carleton Place, what policies and practices they have regarding cameras, as well as compliance, costing (not just for installation and maintenance but any staffing as well), and any conviction rates arising from the use of cameras.

McPherson said that some citizens had chastised him and council for the previous debate on cameras, since, “you voted against cameras, but you have no idea what they cost,” he said, paraphrasing the sentiments of some voters.

As of April 26, “I don’t have conviction rates. I don’t have costing,” said Turner, before adding that, if mom-and-pop corner stores and other busi-

nesses can have them, then the costs cannot be too onerous.

“If they feel strongly enough, that cameras can help them, they can help us,” said Turner. However, Fenik also took exception to this, saying that there was a difference between one static, GoPro camera aimed in a one-room business, versus a four-season camera (or cameras) covering a large area, “you’re looking at a totally different system,” from, say, your neighbourhood convenience store.

As a former policeman, however, Gemmell pointed out that “one of the weakest forms of identification is eye-witnesses.

(But) the cameras don’t lie.”

Community services director Shannon Baillon, was quick to point out that, when she first investigated the issue, “it was very difficult to get an estimate,” especially when considering power sources, space, whether a four-season camera was needed. “I’m not saying it can’t be done,” said Baillon.

On a related deferral, council deferred action on the rocky ramp issue to May 10 as well.

Carolina Suites pancake breakfast raises $400 plus for LAWS Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

The Carolina Suites Retirement Residence hosted a pancake breakfast on Wednesday, April 27, as a fundraiser for LAWS (Lanark Animal Welfare Society). More than $400 was raised for LAWS, with more than 300 pancakes flipped.

“We’ve approached them (the Ontario Ministry of Transportation – MTO) to get an advanced green,” said Gemmell.

“They (MTO) were not receptive. They are not the best people to work with.”

Needham, whose office is on Highway 7, agreed that “you almost need a dedicated turning lane. It’s difficult to see (heading east), especially with that hillcrest,” he said.

Needham promised that he can ask his data people to assemble information on collisions at that intersection for the last five years to get a clearer picture on the situation.

“I can get my (data) analyst to take a look at it,” Needham said. “I’ll fire off a request for that now.”

Getting the support of, and data from, the OPP, “would be some leverage,” said Gemmell.

Just looking at the details in front of him, Needham noted that the numbers seemed to suggest that the majority collisions were in the afternoon – as the sun

Related data Needham is a big fan of using data to pinpoint problems – from everything from domestic violence and break-andenters to traffic collisions.

The number of road fatalities is down 50 per cent for the first period of 2016 (January to March) from the same period in 2015 – from two fatal collisions to one. The number of personal injuries recorded for the comparable periods was also down 9.7 per cent, from 31 to 28. The number of Highway Traffic Act charges laid in the two periods was also on the decline, by as much as 52.2 per cent, from 1,127 in 2015 to 535 in 2016.

Criminal Code (Traffic) charges were also down by 23.1 per cent, from 39 to 30 charges. Liquor Licence Act charges were also down 65.0 per cent, from 40 to 14.

Needham surmised that one reason for the good numbers in terms of collisions may be because of our unseasonably warm winter.

“Not a lot of snow or freezing rain,” he said.

Domestic violence numbers may rise in second quarter: OPP Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

The Lanark County OPP expects to see an increase in domestic violence calls in the coming months.

“I expect a bump in the number of domestic violence calls in the next few months… in the second quarter, you will see a bump,” said Insp.

Derek Needham, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, during the Perth police services board meeting on Thursday, April 28. But, “that’s not a bad thing,” since a “bump” could be the “result of (a victim) reaching out.”

In the last few weeks, with the conference on domestic violence in Lanark Highlands Township and MPP Randy Hillier’s revelation at Queen’s Park about his families’ brush with domestic violence, have been “bringing a lot of attention to it (domestic violence),” and letting victims know that “there are resources. There is help.”

Trudeau’s toke-n legislation On Wednesday, April 20, the federal Liberals announced that they would be looking to loosen Canada’s marijuana laws by 2017. But when asked if loosening restrictions on marijuana possession would affect the arrest and conviction rates for such drug offences locally, he replied, “likely not.” The arrests in the county for marijuana drug offences are mostly “for people who are actively selling it.” Needham adopted a wait-and-see attitude, to see what the Trudeau Liberals decide to legislate.

“If there is still a black market, it likely won’t trend downward,” said Needham. Even now, “we are seeing some marijuana grow ops,” in the area. In 2014, there was a jump in the number of drug busts thanks to “dedicated drug officers.”

Gemmell agreed that it was too soon to see what marijuana legislation would look like since “they (the Liberals) don’t even know themselves.”

Tay Basin debate comes to a fountain-head Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Whatever it is about the fountains in the Tay Basin, Perth town council does not want to hear about it.

If you like them, if you hate them, they will not be discussing the issue again, for the remainder of this council term – they hope.

Not to put too fine a point on it…

At the Perth committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, April 12, Coun. Judy Brown pointed to a letter council had received from Perth Outfitters, upstream from the Basin, about their desire to paddle up from their dock near the Craig Street bridge, to the fountains in the Basin – and for those fountains to remain on for longer.

“They were disappointed when they found out that the fountains are shut off,” at a certain time of evening, said Brown. “The BIA (Business Improvement Area) is supporting an extension of hours,” likely in the “early to dusk,” range, with the fountains ceasing to flow at 7:30 or 8 p.m. in the summertime.

Mayor John Fenik noted that this issue of fountain end-times was first tabled at the council table back in 2005.

“It’s a tourist attraction and they should be on longer,” said Fenik. However, he admitted that “they make noise,” and that there have been complaints about them from nearby residents. “I don’t know what the happy medium is,” not the least of which is because “dusk changes every day,” during the summer months.

“Every year we revisit this,” added Fenik.

Brown said that council should be “wary of making decisions based on the complaints of one or two people,” and, instead, making decisions based on the good of the whole community.

“The problem, every year, seems to be (about) noise,” said Coun. Jim Boldt. “I don’t hear it. I find it quite soothing. But then, I don’t have to live there.” Boldt suggested that, maybe, the water pressure could be lessened to reduce the noise.

Brown recommended that town staff produce a report on the matter, but Fenik won-

dered aloud: “Why generate another report to generate another report? We tend to recreate the wheel just to recreate the wheel.”

For Fenik, who used to be a partner in a boat cruise line that plied the waters of the Tay, he stressed that the fountains are in navigable waters and “they never should have gone in there,” in the first place. “I don’t like the fountains there. (But) I’m resigned because I’m worn out.”

Council’s increasingly thin patience with the issue became increasingly evident at the debate continued.

“It’s like the train whistles – we do this all the time,” said Coun. Ed McPherson.

“I agree, let’s not bring this issue up again, in this term,” said Boldt.

“Everybody’s agreeing, call the motion, quick!” said Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, half-jokingly.

“This shows people are really, really sick of this issue,” said Coun. Riq Turner, succinctly.

No Parking Signs telling people not to park on the grass at town-owned parks are “ready to go” according to Eric Cosens, the town’s development and protective services director.

“I don’t think there are any signs telling people not to park on the grass (at Conlon Farm),” said Turner.

“There was not anything enforceable in place,” admitted Cosens.

Coun. Ed McPherson said that, when he takes his 92-year-old mother out to Last Duel Park, for mobility reasons, he sometimes has to drive up on to the grass.

“I park on the grass,” McPherson admitted.

“She loves this area.” He also sees others “pull their cars in there. I know it doesn’t do much for the grass. There’s no place to park, (especially) if you’re elderly.”

Fenik agreed, recalling when his old tour boat, the Grey Goose, used to moor at Last Duel Park, at the marina across the road from the Old Burying Ground.

“I was amazed at how many people were there (at) lunchtime,” he said. “There’s just not enough room there,” for parking.

Blue Devil reunion slated for July 22 Laurie Weir

ljweir@metroland.com

It won’t be long now until Perth is in full party mode. With this year being celebrated as the 200th anniversary, there are many activities taking place with one of the busiest being reunion weekend, July 22 to 24.

Patti Greer is part of the high school reunion committee, which will get together on Friday, July 22 for some fun-loving festivities.

The group is looking to renew old friendships from years at Perth and District Collegiate Institute as part of Perth’s 200th Homecoming Weekend.

PDCI alumni are invited to come home for the weekend, said Greer.

“We have so much going on – it’s going to be a busy night,” she said.

Just 25 years ago, the town celebrated 175 years, and Greer said it was a “pretty big event.”

Social media being what it is now, it’s much less labour intensive.

“The power of Facebook has been great,” she said, as there are several pages available for folks to check out, including “Raising the Blue Devil” where reunion classmates can check out the itinerary.

On that Friday evening, guests can come into the front of the school where cash donations will be accepted for the event.

Entertainment in the cafeteria will be provided by Tom McMahon, a local jazz musician who is a graduate of PDCI. Enjoy a beverage in the cafeteria, hosted by the Lions Club who will have a cash bar and finger foods on offer.

“We’ll have several rooms set up with memorabilia showing off all the decades,” Greer said.

“Then people can come to the auditorium from 7 to 9 p.m. and take in the Drama Club Alumni Revue.”

The reunion committee will be celebrating

Laurie Weir/METROLAND

Patti Greer is part of the organizing committee for the Raising the Blue Devil Reunnion on July 22. It has been busy as the committee gears up for this year’s PDCI Reunion, slated July 22 from 5 to 11 p.m. performances from 1982-2008 with Carolee and Jeff Mason, Jan Stevenson, Brent McLaren, and Jack Hurd and alumni on stage.

From 9-11 p.m., there will be an open stage in the cafeteria, hosted by PDCI Alumni Mike Irvin and Steve Hannah, better known as ‘2 For The Show’. Interested players who want to sit in for a tune or two can contact them through their Facebook page: 2 For The Show-Live Music Duo. The BBQ Block Party (rib fest) will also be taking place at the fair grounds all weekend long, and folks are encouraged to take in opening ceremonies across town.

There will be fireworks on Friday night at 10 p.m., and local bands playing into the evening during the rib fest event, and on Saturday night, be sure and check out Blue Rodeo, the night’s headliner at the fair grounds.

ICE - Innovation, Creativity, Entrepreneurship training for students When 27 Perth Collegiate Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) students got together at the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn & Spa on April 27, they really warmed up to the ICE challenge given to them.

ICE (Innovation, Creativity, Entrepreneurship) training is a new element in SHSM programs this year. It involves developing a challenge question with a sector partner and having students follow a specific course of action to come up with reasonable, workable potential solutions to the challenge.

This year, PDCI partnered with the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce and, inspired by a comment in last year’s valedictory address, asked “How can we help today’s youth focus on their futures in a town so focused on its past?”

Chris Hahn, Dean of Al-

gonquin College (Perth Campus), Independent Marketing Consultant Allan Brown (both members of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce) and former Valedictorian Eli Hansen all spoke to the students about their varying experiences with the pros and cons of Perth’s heritage focus. Through listening, observing, and asking questions, each student developed ideas concerning needs that were and were not being met because of this focus.

The students worked in teams to brainstorm ideas and came up with one specific need to be met, and considered solutions to meet that need. They then developed ways to visualize their solution, received feedback on their ideas, and considered ways to make their innovative solutions better.

“I think the best part of the day was the realization that Perth’s heritage focus and po-

tential success in our futures are not mutually exclusive,” was a sentiment echoed by several students.

ICE training will be a compulsory part of SHSM programs in coming years.

A SHSM is a ministry-approved specialized program that allows students to focus their learning on a specific economic sector while meeting the requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), and assists in their transition from secondary school to apprenticeship training, college, university, or the workplace.

Perth & District Collegiate Institute currently offers four SHSM programs – Arts & Culture, Business, Sports, and Transportation Technology. If you would like more information on this program, please contact the school at 613-2673051.

Two paths diverged in a wood...

T

here was a time when, if you had asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said “a novelist.”

“Novelist” is a succinct, two-syllable word, and most people have a pretty good idea of what it means. Sure, there are lots of adjectives that can be added to make it more descriptive. You might add “romance” or “horror” or “historic” or “science fiction” or whatever.

(I like to add the word “famous” in front of it.)

Maybe a Great Canadian Novel or two (or perhaps an International Bestseller) still lurks in me, but I’ve definitely strayed from that path.

I knew pretty early on that I wanted to write. I distinctly remember when, in Grade 4, a poem I wrote at home gained enthusiastic endorsement by my teacher (thanks, Mr. Wilson). That served to legitimize the story-writing path upon which I had embarked.

Along the way there have, of course, been curves in the path – not to mention a few Robert Frost-esque roads diverging in woods (yellow or other).

One involved making a choice of universities. Do I choose the one with the great creative writing program or go for journalism which, at that time anyway, held a greater certainty of a paycheque at the end?

I’m a practical girl.

Reporter. Journalist. Both of those are fairly easily understood. They also come with adjectives – “feature,” “court,” “science,” “political”…so many paths and things to learn.

Another split in the road: Stick with a full-time job with a regular paycheque or dive off to follow that writing dream?

Taking a deep breath and jumping off that cliff led not so much to the writing of Great Canadian Novels, but to a successful communications business coupled with a part-time teaching gig.

Words have been the foundation of everything I’ve ever built.

Another fork in the road: Stick with what you know or go for the challenge of coordinating a local project that could change people’s lives? Take a deep breath and go for it.

When I am asked, “What are you doing these days?” I often have to ask what day it is. It’s like asking “How are you?” and getting an excruciatingly detailed answer that goes way beyond “fine.” Or “novelist.”

(I am not actually opposed to hearing how a person is. I think if you don’t want to know, you shouldn’t ask

the question. If you ask the question, you should be prepared for any kind of answer – from “fine” up to a full threeact play in iambic pentameter.)

Anyway, I feel as if I have become the “Excruciating Answer Girl” of the “What are you doing these days” question. It’s because I currently have three part-time jobs. (I know. I’m super greedy that way.)

One job is teaching communications courses at the Perth Campus of Algonquin College in a bunch of different programs. My newest job is coordinating the Lanark County Situation Table project, which almost always involves some explanation (it’s about facilitating discussions between acute care service providers in order to help people in crisis – and that’s the super short version). The third job is the self-employed communications consulting, which is everything from this column to PR work for clients.

In certain scenarios I crave having one concise catch-all title for what I do, but it is eluding me. I like to be efficient.

I could say “communications,” but that doesn’t adequately capture the teaching or the awesomeness that is the situation table project (which I never tire of explaining).

“Captain of Wordsmithing and Project Coordination” goes a bit too far, I think, although it might be a good excuse for wearing a Starfleet uniform to my various workplaces.

Maybe I need to make up an entirely new word. Certainly it wouldn’t be the first time I have done that – just ask my spell checker. (Spell check has no sense of humour or adventure. Someday these words could be in a dictionary!

Language evolves, Spell Check!)

Perhaps “Communifacilitator”?

“Facilcommicator”?

“Communicoordinator”?

“Communiteacherfaciliator”?

Sigh.

“StuffGetterDoner”?

One thing’s for sure, there may have been forks in the road, but words continue to be the pavement under my feet.

Did you hear the one about Jesus the Jokester?

W

ho shall bring redemption, but the jesters?”

I’m not that well versed on the Jewish Talmud, but, thanks to my favourite episode of The Simpsons, I began to appreciate early on that there was humour to be found in religion.

My column has been a little heavy of late, so, I went off in search of some lighter material. This quest was easily answered with a story in the Irish Independent, about a so-called “Pastafarian,” who tried to get his Irish driver’s licence photo taken while wearing his religious headgear – a colander.

The Irish Workplace Relations Commission ruled this week that Noel Mulryan was not discriminated against when he submitted the photo of him wearing the strainer in 2013.

They found in favour of the licence office, adding that he had failed to demonstrate that the cooking utensil was “related to a religious belief.”

(Interestingly, fellow Pastafarian Lindsay Miller of Massachusetts, tried to pull the same stunt while wearing a colander in her licence photo – and was successful. The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles said that head coverings are not usually

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says permitted for licence photos – but, according to the paper, exceptions are made for religious beliefs.)

Pastafarians are what members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster call themselves and they express a fondness for beer, that every Friday is a religious holiday, and that pirates were the original Pastafarians.

Not all Christians have a sense of humour. From the time of Monty Python’s Life of Brian (1979), and before, and since, there has always been a fine line between making fun of people’s most deeply held beliefs, and simply having a sense of humour.

There’s plenty of safe, G-rated humour to be found in church. Nothing wrong with that. (For example, the Salvation Army citadel in Smiths Falls had a sign out front telling everyone not to worry, and to remember that “Moses started life off as a basket case.” Forget a dad joke, that’s a granny joke!)

It’s a fine line to tread – as I discovered in Ms. Pelkey’s Grade 3

class. We were supposed to draw the Last Supper. I did as my classmates did – with one exception. There, sitting in front of Jesus Christ, was an American Express credit card. I had done the drawing in pencil and was ordered to erase it out. But while it was somewhat light hearted, I really wanted to know – who paid for the Last Supper? Someone had to pay for the wine and bread, right? If Jesus was alive today, surely he, or one of his followers, would have whipped out their debit or credit card?

At Saint Joseph Catholic Elementary School in Brampton, as a child, a kindly old priest plodded through the mass one afternoon in the gym. It was an hour away from the classroom so many of us kids didn’t mind being there. He looked out at us and said, “Let us pray,” before bringing his hands together – banging them together on either side of the microphone, placed a little too close to his face. His prayers certainly got amplified that day.

LE T TERS TO THE EDITOR

Tell the truth about domestic violence DEAR EDITOR:

Editor’s note: The following letter is in response to Matthew Behrens’s letter “Stopping the generational effects of abuse.”

(Perth Courier. April 28.)

Domestic abuse is a real problem and I support Matthew’s wish to shed light on it. We’ll help stop domestic violence by telling the truth about it. And part of the truth is that it’s committed by both men and women.

And both women and men are the victims. The perpetrator male and the victim female is one very

real side of the issue and not to be minimized. But it’s not the whole story. According to Stats Can in 2009, reporting on a five year retrospective study, three times more women than men were killed by spouses. In the survey of self-reported experience of abuse at all levels, women and men were very close: 6.4 per cent of women and fully six per cent of men reported being abused by their partners within the five year period covered by the survey.

One of the reasons that we don’t see the two sides of the story is a longstanding social nar-

rative based on traditional roles: men provided and protected and women were provided for and protected - and for that they were at home. Seeing women as innocents-on-a-pedestal is a vestige of that history (and still exists fully in much traditional Islam for example).

The more complete reality is that women, like men, can be violent. And men, like women, can be vulnerable and can be victims, including of violence from women.

That we see women as victims while being blind to the suffer-

ing of men can be clearly seen in another statistic, this one from today’s headlines: missing and murdered aboriginal men make up fully 70 per cent of the missing and murdered aboriginal population. Again, a quick bit of research will verify that this is true. But this isn’t the story we tell ourselves. Yet. Telling both sides of the gender story will help bring the respectful balance between women and men we all want.

Andrew C. MacDonald, Perth

Reader addresses recent writer’s downtown concerns DEAR EDITOR,

I wish to respond to Amanda Proulx’s letter of April 14, in The Perth Courier.

Ms. Proulx made several statements I found to be unfounded and misleading.

The Foster Street banner, “Porn Harms”, to which she refers, does not fall under the town’s bylaw. Not-for-profit organizations and town sponsored events can only be promoted with a banner.

Ms. Proulx’s reference to sidewalk cyclists and skateboarders appears to make light of the dangers to the safety of pedestrians, particularly downtown, and further, makes no mention of the fact it is illegal to ride a bicycle on any sidewalk under the Highway Traffic Act. Cyclists in the downtown core, must get off their bicycles and

walk. Those renting bicycles at the new rental shop on Gore, will be instructed to walk to the point where they wish to begin their ride on the road.

Cycling or skateboarding on a downtown BIA sidewalk is dangerous to pedestrians who could step out from a place of business into their path. Seniors and children are particularly vulnerable, as their reaction time is slower.

We should not have to wait for a pedestrian tragedy to remove this obvious danger.

As Ms. Proulx stated, some people, particularly children, should not cycle on downtown streets, where it is most dangerous for them, and that is true.

They should walk their bikes on the sidewalk, and this applies to skateboarders as well.

As for the current crosswalks, no, they are not regulation and

there is no law that says a vehicle must stop for a pedestrian. That is why the term ‘courtesy’.

In order to have legal crosswalks, a large sign across the intersection with flashing lights and proper signage to warn vehicles the stop is mandatory, is not practical here.

What pedestrians need to know is how to cross the street safely. There is no magic in stopping vehicles as most motorists will oblige the pedestrian, if the pedestrian uses common sense.

Stand on the curb facing into the street, or step out onto the street, so a driver knows the pedestrian’s intention is to cross.

Make eye contact with the driver in both directions, then cross safely, when traffic has stopped.

Not all vehicles will stop immediately, but it is the responsibility of the pedestrian to clearly make

their intentions apparent, before crossing.

Perth is not the only community to have courtesy crosswalks, which are 100 per cent safer than nothing, but must be used properly. New and more visible explanatory signage has been installed recently.

Ms. Proulx thinks it is, “just too dangerous – mentally and physically,” to stroll downtown Perth to clear her mind. I trust she has never visited a city to stroll their downtown streets to clear her mind.

Perth is a pretty safe haven, all things considered, but cyclists, skateboarders, those using the ‘courtesy’ crosswalks have to learn to use some common sense, if not for their own safety, then for the safety of others.

Maybe it was the poor quality of the sound system, but we could have sworn he said Calgary.

“Calgary? Where the Flames play?” wondered one boy.

Community of Faith

“Hey, I have an uncle in Calgary,” one of the boys said.

We know that Jesus spent some time in Egypt as a child, and then, upon his return home, settled in the area now known as Israel and the Palestinian Territories. He may have even ventured a bit into Jordan.

(Some things never change.

Even Jesus had to put up with jokes about his backwater of a hometown. As Nathaniel asked, in John 1:46, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”)

But Jesus in Calgary? It may have been a lighter moment, but as I sat there, hearing the story of the crucifixion,

seeing Jesus meet his end on the rolling hills of the Alberta prairies in my mind’s eye – I’d been to Edmonton with my family so I had an idea what the landscape looked like – that somehow made the story of Jesus giving up the ghost for us all, seem even the more real and immediate and true to me.

Conway’s and the 30-year milestone Just the other day when walking down Gore Street, something caught my eye in a window. It was a window decal that reads: “Brian Celebrating 30 years”.

The sign, still posted in the Conway’s Men’s Wear window, indicates that Brian Day has owned and operated the business since 1986.

How’d that happen?

Conway’s is a special kind of store. It’s where you rent your tuxedo for formal. And later for your wedding. It is a perfect place for a Father’s Day gift. And, it’s an imperative stop when you’ve realized your husband has been wearing the same tie/shirt combo to weddings for the past five years and it’s time to change it up (not that I know that from experience). Brian and his staff offer practical and insightful input when we’re on these special hunts for some fashionable finds.

Conway’s is a landmark shop in our pretty little downtown, and congratulations to Brian for 30 years of success.

Perth Walking Food Tour Launched This may be the 200th time I’ve mentioned this, but I’ve been lucky enough to be part of the Perth 200th Anniversary planning crew.

So when we launched the CATHY JAMES Perth Walking Food Tour information last week, I asked myself: self, would you promote this in the Private I if you weren’t a part of the Perth 200th crew? And the answer was yes.

So, one long-winded story later…the Perth Walking Food Tour launches May 14 and includes a guided walking tour through downtown, and will make seven stops along the way.

Participants will stop at some of Perth’s best eateries to sample their offerings. From Montreal-style pizza to olives to baked goodies, the walking food tour expects to be a great chance to learn about the town’s culinary and cultural tales while taking in some of the town’s best eats. You can get tickets at the Perth Tourism Centre (Perth Museum) and the tours run each Saturday from May 14-June 25 at 1 p.m.

Tick-proofing your property: A presentation by Dr. Elaine Riddick The Perth and District Horticultural Society is pleased that Dr. Elaine Riddick will give a digital presentation on how to tick-proof your property at our next General Meeting on Tuesday, May 10 at 7 p.m. Now that the daytime temperatures are rising and ticks once again become more active, we cannot ignore this very important topic especially as the tick population increases in our area every year.

Riddick is a physician in Westport who, after observing the increase in the tick-borne disease called Lyme borreliosis, found there was not enough information about how to prevent this infection. Knowing that prevention is the cornerstone of infectious disease management, Dr. Riddick began her research into the subject and now shares her findings with all who will listen.

It is extremely worthwhile that we learn how we can avoid contracting Lyme disease, and it is fascinating to learn how the increase in this disease has occurred. By understanding why there

is an increase in ticks, we can use that information to protect ourselves and our families from contracting tick-borne diseases.

Join PDHS for this very important and timely presentation by Dr. Elaine Riddick on Tuesday, May 10 at 7 p.m. at St Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore Street West in Perth. Please use the Darcy Street side entrance to access the basement meeting room.

Society members who would like to participate in the May judged Flower Show should check their 2016 Yearbook for the schedule.

Entries should be in place on the back table by 7 p.m. when judging begins.

All are welcome to join us for our General Meetings; visitors pay $3 while a year’s membership is only $10. We look forward to meeting you there.

Buker family donates embroidery to celebrate bicentennial, remember son Desmond Devoy

A mother’s tears at the memory of her late son marked the moment of the unveiling of an embroidery in the council chambers on April 26.

Susan and Jim Buker had donated a special embroidery, detailing the historic town hall, to the town, during a council meeting that evening. The embroidery serves two purposes – to mark the town’s 200th anniversary, and also to commemorate their late son, Anthony Craig

Another surprise contained within the intricate thread-work of the art piece was that while other embroidery of its kind normally contain 8,000 threads, this piece contains about 208,000 threads.

“It was a real labour of love,” said Graff, who made sure to let council know that the final creation went through six prototypes.

“It is absolutely spectacular,” said Mayor John Fenik. “It will hang in a place of honour in town hall.”

The family would like to express their sincere thanks and gratitude to all the CCAC and Bayshore staff (especially Sue, Carol, Connie, Heather, Janet, Karen, Keitha, Kelly, Leslie, Maureen, Patti, Pauline, Susan and Tracy) and Dr. Bob VanOppen and clinic staff for their kindness and care of Mom over the past several years.

His children, grandchildren and many friends have happy memories of camping, fishing, hunting and boating with Herb. He was fortunate to be able to retire early and enjoy the church near North Augusta, which he and Kay renovated into a beautiful residence. Herb felt very much at home in Eastern Ontario and made himself part of the community. His family and friends are heartbroken at his death, but comforted by the knowledge that Herb lived on his own terms, right up until his last day. His wisdom and humour will live on through those who love him. A memorial service will be held on May 15 for close friends and family.

It’s sad but true and we wonder why, The best are always first to die.

There is always a face before us, A voice we would love to hear, A smile we will always remember, Of a husband and father we loved so dear.

To his grave in thought we wander, And wished that he could speak.

But we stand there in silence, And picture him asleep.

We cannot bring the good days back, When we were all together, But beautiful memories silently kept, Of a wonderful husband and father, We will never forget.

Too dearly loved to ever be forgotten By his loving wife Dolly Four sons and their families

IN MEMORIAM

$ MONEY $

McLAREN, Norma 1928–2015 In loving memory of a dear mom, grandmother and great-grandmother who passed away May 10th, 2015.

Remember our mom with a smile today, She wasn’t one for tears.

Reflect instead on memories, Of all the happy years.

Recall her laugh, the way she spoke, The funny things she did, Her strength, her love, the way she joked, Her eyes that shone with fun.

So much of her that never died, She left for everyone.

Thanks for the memories.

Love Bob, Judy Stephanie, Blade and Norm

The British are coming! The British are coming! May 20 to be exact

One hundred and eighty four years after the British Royal Engineers completed the World Heritage Site that is the Rideau Canal, 14 members of that Corps are celebrating their 300th anniversary (Sapper 300) with a military exercise along that same water route.

Starting on May 17 from Kingston, today’s British soldiers, in the words of their leader, WO2 Neil Graham,“are looking forward to what will be an incredible trip along the Rideau Waterway. The initial idea was put to me by my Commanding Officer, with the main reason being the links to the Corps of Royal Engineers and Lt Col John By RE who was instrumental in the construction of the Rideau Canal. The Corps is celebrating its 300th Anniversary this year and is encouraging all Regiments to celebrate in one way or another.”

According to a RE media relations officer, this group of 14 “Sappers” from their Geography section will celebrate the work of Lt Col John By by kayaking the length of the Rideau Canal. “The intent of this exercise is to conduct

challenging adventurous training in an unfamiliar, overseas environment and to participate in awareness and cultural events to further our knowledge of Lt Col John By and the construction of the Rideau Canal.”

With the logistical support and planning expertise of the Perth Outfitters Company, these RE are travelling light and fast along the 200km route of the Rideau Canal towards Ottawa.

“I have been overwhelmed,” says WO2 Graham, “ by the amount of help I have received from a number of people in Canada with regards to my planning, with a special thank you to Ian and Jeannie at Perth Outfitters. With this being my first trip to Canada, I’m especially looking forward to enjoying the legendary Canadian hospitality along the way. “ This hospitality will truly be realized when these RE encounter our local heritage adventurers, the re-enactors of Settlers Trek 2016.

The 14 Royal Engineers, fortuitously paddling by Rideau Ferry at the same time on Friday, May 20th as the Settlers Trek canoeists,

PDCI’s Geo-Venture class, have agreed to divert from their Rideau route to be part of this region’s unique 200th Anniversary project.

“We look forward to hooking up with the Settlers Trek celebrations in Perth,” notes WO2 Graham, “which will prove to be a memorable event, I’m sure. It sounds like it will be a fantastic series of activities.”

Before joining the Trekkers as they head towards Perth along the Tay River system, the RE will first be part of a community ceremony at the Rideau Ferry Township dock by the bridge starting at 9 a.m.., Friday.

Both groups of paddlers will hear Welcoming songs from the First Nations group, the Lanark Drum Circle, as well as appropriate pieces from piper Chris Gilbertson. Greetings will be extended from representatives of Parks Canada and Drummond/North Elmsley Township before the paddlers as well as the rest of the Trek’s participants- horse and wagon teams and walkers, head to their destination at the Perth Basin.

When all the Trekkers and the RE arrive in

Connected to Your Community - P19 - Thursday, May 5, 2016

Perth, they will re-assemble at Last Duel Park for a coordinated approach to the Perth Basin.

With an anticipated arrival time of 2 p.m. at the Basin, this procession will encounter a Pioneer Village atmosphere and military Encampment around the Crystal Palace.

Through arrangements with the Perth Regional Heritage Fair and the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #244, a ‘live fire’ of muskets and music from piper, drummer and fifer will greet the new arrivals.

Following a final Welcoming ceremony with representatives from local municipalities and Fair and Trek sponsors, the RE will then have an opportunity to mix with the Public and explore the Crystal Palace workshops under the guidance of site managers Ed Roberts and Ron Shaw. That evening, they will be honoured guests at a private reception hosted by the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce.

Perth Farmers’ Market opens Saturday for the season The Perth Farmers’ Market is gearing up for another exciting year of fresh produce, beautiful art and amazing community spirit.

On Saturday, May 7 the market opens at 8 a.m. for its 24th season, inside and outside the Crystal Palace on the Tay Basin. While spring has been a little slow in coming and the market begins a little early this year, there will still be lots of local product on display.

Many vendors will have plants for the garden - whether you have a vegetable garden or a flower garden you will be able to find something to satisfy your green thumb. Many of the plants are grown organically and the vendors are

the ones who have tended to them and can tell you all about the seed, where they got them and the habits of that plant. While it may be a little early for produce, keep your eyes open for fresh greens and wild edibles in the next few weeks.

Of course there is an abundance of great artisans inside the Crystal Palace and since the market always opens on Mother’s Day weekend, why not pick up a locally made and unique item?

There are many new vendors this year including Noble Fibre Mill, Loon Kombucha, The Pie Bar, Cosmic Ties, Happy Hippie Farm, Silly Farm, and 56 Woodworks. Intrigued? Head on

down to the market and they will be happy to introduce themselves!

The Perth Farmers’ Market has music most weekends featuring local talent and the opening weekend is no exception. The kids from St. John’s High School Stage Band will be performing two sets, at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Listen and support this great group of youth from our community while you sit and enjoy a drink and snack. Our cafe area is set up for you to read a newspaper under the awning, talk to friends and enjoy the beauty of the Tay River and historic downtown core.

STEP #1: Make a Plan In an emergency, your family may not be together, or you may be asked to evacuate your home. Thinking about what you would do in different situations and preparing a plan with every member of your family is the first step to being prepared.

STEP #2: Build an Emergency Survival Kit Your emergency survival kit should have everything you and your family would need to be safe and take care of yourselves for at least three days immediately following an emergency.

The following list is broken down into the essentials, items you may need to meet your family’s unique needs, and items to have ready in case you have to leave your home.

STEP #3: Be Informed There are two main ways that you can be informed about emergencies: sign up for Ontario’s emergency alerts, and learn more about the hazards you can face and how you can be prepared for them.

During an emergency, you should stay tuned Lake 88.1. Be sure to have a portable, battery-operated or crank radio in your survival kit in case of power outages.

Perth Stingrays host second masters swim meet On Sunday May 1, the Perth Stingrays held their second masters meet. The meet involved 32 swimmers from a variety of locations: Perth, Ottawa, Gatineau, and Toronto from the ages of 25 to 84. The swimmers competed in all the strokes, freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly and the individual medley. The distances ranged from 50 metres (two lengths of the pool) to 400 metres (16 lengths of the pool). There were some fantastic performances from the Perth swimmers including Trent Peden, Jason

Adams, Luke McLenaghan, Lori Cameron and Stephanie Gauthier.

One of the highlights of the meet was when 84-year-old Chris Smith from Toronto, swam the 200m butterfly in 6.28 minutes. This time cuts over three minutes off the previous provincial record for this event in the 80 to 84 year old category! He finished to a loud round of applause from everyone in the pool. It is expected that Masters Swimming Ontario will accept this record later this week.

The event was not all about serious competiA big thank you goes out to all the volunteers tion, there was also time for some fun.

Saltos hosted their annual Sap Run on Saturday during the Festival of the Maples. It was a perfect morning for a run, and although the participants did hear a train whistle, the train didn’t interfere with any of the runners. Andrew Mahon was the winner of the run, and he’s one of the youngest (if not the youngest) to ever win this race. At 13 years of age, Mahon’s time was just 18.12 minutes, breaking the under 14 category record by 81 seconds.

Pictured are the participants at the start line and Mahon stepping across the finish line.

No sidewalk cycling law to apply to children under 10 Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

New signs enforcing no cycling/no skateboarding bylaws could be posted as soon as this week – for wheelers of any age.

John Clement, a member of the Perth police services board (PSB), informed the PSB at its Thursday, April 28 meeting that the signs warning people to walk their bicycles on downtown sidewalks, and to carry their skateboards, “are going to go ahead as early as May,” said Clement, pending the town’s chief administrative officer, John deRosenroll, conferring with Karen Rennie, the town’s heritage manager, to make sure that the signs do not conflict with the downtown heritage district designation.

However, Deputy Mayor John Gemmell alerted Clement to the fact that enforcing the rule when it came to much smaller children could be hard to enforce.

“A mum with a child on a tricycle, that could be problematic,” said Gemmell, making clear that police officers “were not going to be chasing kiddies on the sidewalk,” adding that “mums are vicious when it comes to kids. Be careful…That’s a sensitive one.”

Clement said that he often sees kids on bicycles and tricycles as many as “20, 30, 40 feet ahead,” of the mother, with the parent calling out to her children to wait, and go no further than the next intersection.

“It’s a parental responsibility to teach your kid to walk their bike,” noted PSB chairman, Coun. Jim Graff.

PDCI athletes have strong showing at invitational meet On Friday, April 29, the Perth and District Collegiate Institute Blue Devils’ track and field team competed in the Bay of Quinte Invitational in Belleville under cold but sunny conditions, much like every other meet this spring.

Mathew Ferguson won the 110m hurdles with a time of 15.20. With an incredulous coach looking on, he then went on to win the senior boys long jump with a new personal best of 6.30m to top a strong field of jumpers. Abby Brandon and Alex Roberts continued their winning ways, taking the senior girls javelin with a distance of 33.21m and the senior girls discus with 32.57m.

Ben Bellamy ran a flawless race, pulling away in the junior boys 1,500m to easily win with a time of 4:35.49, and Darcy Bingley won the midget boys high jump with a new personal best of 1.71m. Lauren Miller finished second in the midget girls 800m in a time of 2:28.38, and fourth in a highly competitive 400m in 1:02.91, a personal best. Other strong performances came from Olivia Bourque, Nadine Drouin, Kara Cameron, and Austin Tryon.

Up next is the 40th annual Hungerford-TISS Invitational, the last meet before the LCIAA championships next week in Carleton Place.

Baxter retires from golf With more than 44 years in the golf business, Perth Golf Course co-owner Jim Baxter has announced his retirement, effective immediately.

Baxter has sold his interest in Perth Golf Course, Canada’s oldest golf course, to his partners, owners, and friends, Dave Trick and Mark Beveridge. He spent 19 years at Perth.

“I would like to thank everyone who has ever been involved at the course, as a member, volunteer or friend, for your support the last 19 years. Without that support, it would have been impossible to have achieved the goal we set,” said Baxter. “I have decided it is the time to retire.

I would like to thank all who have supported me at the Perth Golf Club and we (Baxter and wife Elna) look forward to seeing everyone around at the course.”

Thank You!

The Perth and District Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the 2016 Festival of the Maples Committee, businesses, organizations and individuals whose participation made the event a success!

Henderson jumps two spots in CMA ranking after big finish in Texas STAFF

Brooke Henderson finished tied for 19th over the weekend during the Volunteers of America Texas Shootout in Irving, Texas over the weekend.

She earned US$14,648 and jumped up two spots on the CME Ranking to fifth place – she also sits in the number five spot for the World Rankings.

Jenny Shin of South Korea was the winner with a 14-under par for US$195,000.

A 2-over par 73 Saturday saw her get into some bogey trouble on the back 9. She had two birdies, but that was offset by two bogies and then a double-bogey on the par 4 No. 12 hole.

Sunday was an even par round of 71, troubled once again by a double bogey on a par 3 and two bogies. She equalized that with three birdies for the even par round.

The 18-year-old sat in sixth place at one point of the tournament – after her second round. She was at -5 after rounds of 69 and 68 (137 total) at the par-71 Las Colinas Country Club layout.

When she spoke to media following the round, she said her play was more acceptable that the first round. “…especially in the morning it was a little bit softer after the rain last night and the greens were holding and you were able to be aggressive,” Henderson said. “I didn’t really take advantage as much as I would have liked, but 3 under is a solid round and I’ll have to be better on the weekend.”

Henderson said she was feeling “much more confident” after her second round and was looking forward to the weekend.

“Knowing that I can play with some of the best in the world and compete every week is definitely a confidence booster for me,” she said.

She was looking forward to relaxing a bit before the weekend play.

After her first round Thursday, April 28, Henderson was sitting at 2-under and tied for ninth.

“Well, I didn’t really get off to too much of a fast start,” she told media following her first round.

“On the front nine I was just kind of saving pars and just trying to get birdie opportunities and I was able to finish the front nine even par. And then on the back I really got things rolling and got a couple birdies backtoback and was able to have a 2under round and a solid day in these condi-

DON’T DUMP IT… BLUE BOX IT! The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks.

The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for

tions.”

Henderson said it wasn’t as windy as some of the weeks they’ve been playing, “But it was windy out there today. And the course is in great shape, but as the day got going it got a little bit firmer and you kind of had to adjust your numbers a little bit.”

Henderson said that she’s excited about her string of top-10 finishes.

“I haven’t been hitting the ball as well as I would have liked over the past few weeks and I’ve still been able to get top 10s and get the job done, which is awesome. I’m just starting to hit the ball a little bit better now this week so I’m hoping good things are in the near future,” she said.

Putting together some solid rounds in the shootout this week will be her key to success.

“I’m really looking forward to when it (second career win) comes and I think this week would be a great week to do it, so I’ll need three more solid rounds.”

Next up for Henderson is the Yokahama Tire LPGA Classic in Prattville, AL, from May 2 to 8.

Scouts host annual Wheels Rally in Perth In honour of Perth’s 200 Anniversary, the 4th Perth Scout Group, with help from Carleton Place & Drummond Scout Groups, hosted the Valley Highlands Wheels Rally on April 9 at the Perth Civitan.

There were 206 children, from Prescott, Almonte, Kemptville, Merrickville, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Perth, participated in this event which included Beavers ages five to seven, Cubs ages eight to 10 and Scouts 11 to 14. Add in the parents and Scouters and the Perth Civitan Hall was packed – and well fed thanks to the amazing canteen volunteers. The beaver buggy races were the largest in the area Wheels Rally history.

Our volunteer judges had a very difficult time picking from the various categories in which the children took home impressive trophies that included best original design and best paint. Judges came from Tay Valley Township, the Town of Perth, Drummond Township – all celebrating 200 years in 2016 and St. James Church – where the 4th Perth Scout Group meets every Monday night.
