Parkinson SuperWalk at Perth’s Conlon Farm raises $30,000 More than one hundred participants and volunteers walked in the first-ever Lanark North Leeds Parkinson SuperWalk Sept. 9 in Perth, raising awareness, $30,000 for research and bringing the community one step closer to accessing services for those living with Parkinson’s disease. “I want to thank my co-chair Gayle Truman and our organizing committee, the Town of Perth, our sponsors, volunteers and those who supported our efforts to bring the SuperWalk to Lanark North Leeds,” said event organizer Pat Evans, a resident of Portland who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2006. “I’ve met so many people in this area who have this disease, and I’m excited that in addition to the money raised, we have also raised awareness and a sense of hope. And hope is essential for improved health.” The Lanark North Leeds SuperWalk raised over $30,000 in support of Parkinson Canada, a national organization that supports education and funds research to help find the cure for Parkinson’s, a neurological disease that affects over 100,000 Canadians. In addition to supporting research, organizers are hopeful that there will be increased funding for services in Lanark North Leeds including exercise programs, support groups and easier access to specialists. “We are fortunate to have world-class specialists and quality care in nearby centres like Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto,” said Evans. “But the reality is that travel can be difficult for those with mobility issues. As well, many people are reluctant to even talk about their symptoms as they feel that people will judge them. Access to medical and other supports closer to home can make a real difference in the lives of those living with Parkinson’s and their families. Lanark North Leeds SuperWalk is one of over 90 walks that took place across Canada over the weekend. Submitted by Pat Evans/Walk Co-Organizer.

Thousands of people across Canada gear up for Terry Fox Runs Sept. 17 BY STAFF
Hundreds of thousands of people across Canada are expected to participate in the annual Terry Fox Run on Sunday, Sept. 17, a fundraising event taking place in over 700 communities nation-wide that continue to embody the indomitable spirit of Terry Fox. “In a year where we have enjoyed celebrating our country’s 150th birthday, it’s been great to hear so many Canadians say that participating in the Terry Fox Run in an important part of the celebration” — says Terry’s older brother Fred Fox. Terry was just 18 when he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his right leg. He was in his first year at Simon Fraser University studying kinesiology when he felt the pain in his knee. He had his leg amputated six inches above the knee and endured aggressive chemotherapy to eliminate remaining cancer cells. During his treatment, he witnessed daily reminders that two-thirds of cancer victims died of the disease. Instead of crushing his spirits, the sight of other patients suffering made him stronger and more compassionate. It was from this strength and compassion that the Marathon of Hope was born. Since Terry ran in 1980, Canadians have raised over $750 million for cancer research. This money is invested into projects with the greatest potential impact for patients. One such project is Multiple Myeloma Molecular Monitoring, underway in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. A team of researchers will work with more than 250 patients across Canada to advance the ability to characterize and monitor multiple my-
eloma in the blood and the bone marrow to better understand how current treatments work and develop new, more effective ones. On Sunday, Sept. 17, hundreds of thousands of Terry Fox supporters, family and friends, will participate in a favourite fall tradition to ensure that cancer research continues to make a difference. From coast to coast, Canadians will be celebrating the power of the human spirit. Local Runs • Almonte — registration at noon at the arena, with a 1 p.m. start; participate in the 5 km event with bike, rollerblades, wheelchair, or stroller; or run/walk the 10 km event. • Delta — Delta Fairgrounds, register at 8 a.m.; event is slated for an 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. time frame; barbecue and water stations available. Distances range from 1 km to 10 km. • Elgin — Lions Club at 19 Pineview Ave. registration at 9 a.m. event starts at 10 a.m. wit water and barbecue available. Distances include 4 km and 10 km. • Kemptville — Royal Canadian Legion at 100 Reuben Cres., registration at 9:30 a.m. starts at 10 a.m. participants can compete in the 2.5 km, 5 km or the 10 km distances. • Perth — Conlon Farm, registration from 8:45 to 10:15 a.m. starting at 10:30 a.m. Barbecue and water stations available, along with face painting, silent auction, bouncy castle and door prizes. All events are pet friendly as long as they’re on a leash. Anyone interested in joining a Terry Fox Run or donating can visit www. terryfox.org.

Lanark County supports farmers due to this summer’s rainfall amounts Council passed a motion in support of the Lanark Federation of Agriculture’s (LFA) request to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the province to assess “disastrous” conditions resulting from record-setting rainfall this season, particularly in eastern Ontario, and to prepare to deliver emergency assistance to area farmers. The LFA noted the conditions resulted in delayed planting, poor emergence and delayed forage harvesting, and that existing risk mitigation programs “are not expected to adequately cover the expected losses.” Farmers have indicated crop insurance may cover some costs, but not loss of income. Correspondence to the LFA stated many farmers are in disaster mode. For more information, contact Marie White, Tourism Manager, at 1-888-9-LANARK, ext. 1530. Support for VIA Plan Council passed a motion supporting VIA Rail’s highfrequency train project. It calls upon the federal government to provide financial support, for the province to include the project in its list of priority infrastructure projects and for both governments to ensure the project is carried out in a way that enables users to have direct and fast access to railway stations and hubs in communities through eastern Ontario. VIA has submitted its proposal for the WindsorQuebec corridor, which is the busiest in Canada. It includes the route from Toronto through Peterborough to Ottawa with a view to improving “the quality, frequency and reliability of passenger rail service” while “attracting more customers” and “stimulating economic growth.” The motion notes the project allows for more options for connections with other transportation modes, such as light rail and airports, and it will require significant financial contributions from the federal government and private sector. It further states increased rail service will lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, which supports Canada’s environmental objectives under the Paris Protocol. For more informa-

The amendment recognizes and clarifies the different categories of ANSIs within the county and makes technical corrections to ANSI policies and mapping. Local municipalities were consulted throughout the process for input, and revisions to the Official Plan Policy will enable them to protect ANSIs even where the county plan does not. Sixteen ANSIs were affected by the amendment, which defines different types (e.g. Life Science and DIAMOND AWARD: Earth Science), their catFURNITURE STORE egorizations (e.g. provincially, regionally or locally significant) and whether they are deemed confirmed or candidate ANSIs, which establishes how lands will be protected through the SCOP and local official plans. Candidate ANSIs are removed from the SCOP, and development may be permitted in accordance with the policies of the underlying land-use designation or on adjacent lands if an environmental impact study shows there will be no negative impact on the natural features or ecological functions. Local municipalities can ACCENT designate candidate ANSIs CHAIR in their official plans without an amendment to the SCOP.

Enjoy maple workshop for beginners Interested in getting started making maple syrup? The Lanark & District Maple Syrup Producers’ Association (LDMSPA) is hosting a Maple Syrup Beginner’s Workshop on Sept. 30, 2017, an all-day event to educate those looking to enter into maple syrup production on a home or commercial scale, as well as veteran producers looking to expand their knowledge base. The course, which runs from 9:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. will be held at the Lanark & District Civitan Hall, at 2144 Pine Grove Rd., Lanark Village. Participants in the workshop will get the basics on identifying maple trees and tapping, sap handling and storage, equipment and supplies, boiling, density, filtering and bottling, and regulations and grading. A panel discussion and information on maple syrup production resources will also provide valuable information for syrup producers. “Everyone can learn something from this workshop,” Dwight James, LDMSPA director explained, “Maple syrup production is one of those industries where there’s always more to learn, and for beginners getting started the learning curve can be intimidating.” LDMSPA’s workshop is intended to reduce or eliminate that steep learning curve for entering maple syrup production, while offering experienced producers access to resources and information for expanding production or keeping up with changing regulations.
“LDMSPA is here to support producers at all levels,” James explained. LDMSPA is a group of over 90 maple syrup producers located in the Lanark, Frontenac, Leeds and Grenville counties, as well as the Ottawa-Carleton areas of Eastern Ontario. LDMSPA is one of 11 local organizations that make up the Ontario Maple Syrup Producers’ Association (OMSPA), a provincial organization that represents maple syrup producers across the province. As a membership-based organization LDMSPA supports its members by providing a forum to promote the production of maple syrup products, assisting members to stay current on changing industry regulations, and providing opportunities for networking, and education on the maple syrup industry in Ontario. Registration for the Maple Syrup Beginner’s Workshop can be completed online through Eventbrite: www.maplesyrupworkshop.eventbrite.ca or by emailing ldmspa@outlook.com. While Pre-registration is strongly recommended as space is limited, on-site registration will also be available between 8:15 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. on Sept. 30. Cost for the event is $20 for OMSPA members, and $30 for nonmembers. Registrants who join OMSPA will receive the discounted price of $20. Registration fees include lunch during the event.

Catholic student trustee from Cornwall installed for 2017-2018 school year The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario is pleased to announce that Andrew D’Alessio, a Grade 12 student at St. Joseph Catholic Secondary School in Cornwall, has been installed as the next Catholic student trustee for the CDSBEO. D’Alessio has assumed the position from Alexa Meeson, who served for the 2016-2017 school year. “As the new Catholic student trustee, I'm looking forward to working closely with the other secondary schools across the board. I also look forward to being the voice for all CDSBEO students at the board table." D’Alessio was elected to the position earlier this year by the student senate. “The CDSBEO has been so fortunate to have had excellent student trustees,” remarked board
chair, Todd Lalonde. “We look forward to working with trustee D’Alessio in his new role.” “I am very confident Andrew will be an exemplary advocate and a strong voice for all students in our board,” noted Director of Education Wm. J. Gartland. “The CDSBEO truly values the voice of our students, and we look forward to hearing about the great things happening in our schools through Andrew in his new role.” As Catholic student trustee, D’Alessio will represent the more than 12,800 students across the board. He will lead the student senate, which is made up of representatives from all CDSBEO secondary schools. The senate discusses student issues, gathers student opinion, and helps to develop communications with all students across the CDSBEO. It also provides a means for stu-
dent council leaders and senators to gain leadership skills. In addition to serving on the Board of Trustees and the Catholic student senate, trustee D’Alessio will have the opportunity to meet other student trustees, and trustees from across the province.
The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario operates 40 elementary and 10 secondary schools across eight counties. The CDSBEO offers excellence in Catholic education through provincial-leading programs to approximately 12,800 students.

After last week’s story about hospice volunteering, we’re told this week that there was so much interest that there will be a new volunteer orientation taking place at the Perth office on Sept. 22, from 10 a.m. to noon. Rebecca Bowie Coordinator, Hospice Palliative Care Services, will hold the meeting at the Lanark County office located at 40 Sunset Blvd. in Perth. According to the hospice website, volunteers are adult men and women of all ages and backgrounds who are interested in helping, listening to and communicating well with clients and their families. Hospice volunteers are caring and compassionate people who give freely of their time, talent and energy. Volunteers need to complete a screening interview, a police check, have available two reference checks and enrol in a 30-hour palliative care training program that is offered free of
charge to those volunteers. You will learn about communication, death and dying, pain and symptom management, confidentiality, infection control and other palliative issues. There are many options about volunteering with hospice, Bowie noted. You can volunteer in home or hospital, at day hospice, as a support group facilitator, or offer your services in education or fundraising. Hospice palliative care gives people with lifelimiting illnesses the opportunity to live comfortably and as fully as possible no matter where they are. The care also extends to friends and family members, helping them to care for their loved one and to care for themselves. The goal of providing hospice care is to maintain and/or improve the quality of a person’s life throughout his or her illness by offering dignity, encouragement and solace. Hospice concepts address comfort measures for people who are ill such as pain and symptom management. Care is administered holistically and aims to support the individual needs of each client and their loved ones.

ather was happy. It had been a good season, unlike most other years, and he was sure he was going to get a second cutting of hay. That meant the mow would be full, and he could be sure of lots of hay to see us through the winter. But it also meant he would be working alone, as my three brothers would all be back to school. Of course, there were still Saturdays, but during the week, Father would be out cutting hay, raking and stooking on his own, leaving the house long before any of us were awake. But the brothers were expected to do all the morning chores before they went off to school, that is, except for the milking, which was a chore my

sister Audrey and my mother had to take over. All of this meant of course, that our whole routine changed in the mornings, all because Father was getting a second cut of hay. And it didn’t mean, that even though I was so much younger, I’d get off scot free from the busy start to the day. School lunches had to be made the night before, but as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning, I was expected to get breakfast on the table. Of course, it would have been set out before I went to bed. Father would be long gone, so I didn’t have to worry about frying a pan of potatoes and salt pork. But I did have to make the porridge, and make sure the bread was sliced and

The porridge was ready to be put on the toaster rack that would sit on top of the stove where I would have removed one of the lids, allowing the bread to brown over the hot coals. As soon as everyone came in from the barn, I had to fly into action. The brothers changed their clothes, Mother and Audrey washed up, and I put four slices of bread on the toaster rack, and started to ladle out the porridge. A pot

MANAGING YOUR MONEY Uncomplicate your will
When it comes to our finances, we often complicate matters more than they need to be. This is usually inadvertent – we have an intention to make something easy and clear-cut, but end up making it more complicated because we didn’t seek the right advice, or thought we knew more than we really did. Wills are no different – they can be as straightforward or complicated as we want them to be. But in situations where there are multiple beneficiaries or unique circumstances, getting the right advice at the beginning is key to reducing headaches down the road.
values can differ from one another, they can change over time, and their after-tax value may be less than what’s expected – all which complicates matters when it becomes clear that one beneficiary will receive more than the other, even if that wasn’t the original intention (for example, when dividing an estate between children). Updating your will and clearly defining equal distribution can help mitigate these situations.
The correct way to create a will is to start from scratch. Avoid pre-prepared will kits. It’s not that the wording in those kits is incorrect, but rather they don’t fully prepare people for what they may or may not need. This can result in a situation that becomes more The complicated nature of a will often arises complicated.

Natural built homes open to public Sunday, Sept. 24 Experience the look and feel of some unique green homes during the popular annual Ontario-wide Natural Homes self-guided tour, Sunday, Sept. 24, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., being organized by the Ontario Natural Building Coalition, a grassroots organization dedicated to the promotion of natural building. In the Perth, Westport, Kingston area, a newly built rammed earth home and a large number of other
beautiful and unique natural homes, are among those welcoming visitors, together with over 30 others across the province. A $10 passport (available on-line at www.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca) provides admission to as many places across the province as you can visit in the day. Directions and other tour details are available at www.naturalbuildingcoalition.ca For those without internet access,
call 613-633-3557 before the day of the tour. This tour is the perfect opportunity to step right inside some natural buildings, see what they are like, and get honest feedback from the owners about all aspects of their homes. Most structures feature other "green" technologies as well, including solar and wind electricity, composting toilets, earthen plasters, green roofs, natural finishes and more inno-
vations. Natural building may be the housing equivalent to the increasingly popular 100 mile diet – living in energy efficient homes and additions that are crafted from minimally processed, renewable and local materials. People choose natural homes for reasons ranging from energy efficiency, to the healthiness of the materials, to a desire for architecturally interesting and unique homes and additions.

Lanark County Community Action Network looking for new members Are you living in the Lanark County or Smiths Falls and wishing that things were different in your neighbourhood? Do you have concerns about the costs of life and the affordability of your home? Are you struggling to make ends meet on an income that doesn’t cover all your basic needs? Are you concerned about how decisions that impact your life are being made? Are you willing to learn how to take action to make change for yourself and others? If so, the Lanark County Community Action Network (LCCAN) wants to invite you to a meeting at the Table Community Food Centre in Perth to talk to other people with similar interests and to start to formulate an action plan to address the list of issues that local low-income community members and their allies are going to work together to address. This meeting is the beginning of the next phase of LCCAN’s housing outreach campaign that began last year with funding from the County of Lanark. For the next year, the table is receiving funding from the government of
Canada through the Homelessness Partnership Strategy — Rural and Remote funding that will enable us to continue to work with community members across the county on their housing concerns by making it possible for them to meet together regularly. The recruitment meeting will happen on Wednesday, Sept. 20 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at 190 Gore St. E. in Perth and will focus on how community members can act together to take action on the housing and homelessness issues that were identified in our 2016 survey of lowincome community members. This is a drop-in meeting so registration is not necessary. If you want to attend and need transportation help to come, please call 613-267-6428 ext. 4 or email beth@thetablecfc.org to arrange a ride or for reimbursement for gas costs. All community members are welcome to attend. A free, delicious lunch will be served at the end of the meeting. Submitted by the Table Community Food Centre

BarnDoor Productions' 23rd season opening "You're a bit ... rougher than I imagined, Mr. Dickens," says the Rev. Charles Dodgson on meeting the great novelist. Dodgson was the real name of Alice In Wonderland author Lewis Carroll. Dickens, of course, is possibly the greatest novelist of all time. It's a clash of personalities in BarnDoor Productions' season opener this October as Charles Dickens meets Charles/Lewis Dodgson/Carroll in A Perfect Likeness. The meeting (probably) never happened, but it is known that Dodgson once asked Dickens's publisher for his home address. Playwright Daniel Rover Singer has imagined what might have happened if Dickens had been invited to the reverend's rooms to sit for a photograph. Dodgson was an avid photographer and his surviving works are still original and interesting to this day. Dodgson was a fussy, delicate man who shunned the public, never indulged in excess and never really allowed himself to enjoy life — the fantasies in his writings are the total opposite of his life. Dickens was a huge personality, who loved to perform, loved excess, loved attention and revelled in life. How the two
might have gotten along makes for an intriguing, funny and thought-provoking piece of entertainment. To successfully bring these two giants of literature to life takes careful casting and BarnDoor Productions (BDP) has paired two of the area's strongest performers and their energy, even in early rehearsals, is infectious. Connor Williamson is a young Perth performer who already has two summers of experience with the Classic Theatre Festival, as well as roles in a number of BarnDoor shows, behind him. David Bird is a stalwart whose history with BDP goes back to their first production. Bird has become the area's première performer of Dickens, especially of A Christmas Carol, and now, he gets a chance to play Dickens himself. A Perfect Likeness is the first show of a season that combines classic with new and keeps it all fresh and alive. In December, it's an all-new take on a classic tale with BDP's new Cinderella panto — a traditional English-style fairy tale for kids with lots of fun for the adults and a few surprise, too. In February, you'll find out why BDP did a panto at Christmas, as Panto
Can Be Murder turns the set around and shows the happenings backstage during December's Cinderella! (By the way, that's original, too.) In April, it's Southern fried politics with a new show from one of the U.S.'s most important new writers: The Taming, by Lauren Gundersen, is a bitingly funny, brutally honest mix of American politics, Shakespeare and beauty pageant. When you've recovered from all that, the summer will bring plenty of entertainment, including a new version of an old play that's titled Willm Shaksper. All of that is at Perth's groundlevel, barrier-free Full Circle Theatre, which also hosts Film Night International, who are returning for their sixth season at Full Circle, along with musical concerts, touring shows and much more. All of the details, including tickets for A Perfect Likeness and subscriptions for BDP's 23rd season are available online at www.barndoorproductions.ca. A Perfect Likeness runs Oct. 13, 14, 19, 20, 21 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. at Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig St., Perth, near Last Duel Park. Just call 613 267 1884 for tickets.

Kemptville Players mark 50th anniversary and a new season The Kemptville Players Inc. is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the Canadian production of Norm Foster's play, Sadie Flynn Comes to Big Oak. Rehearsals are well underway, so mark your calendars with the show dates: Oct. 26 to 29 at the Urbandale Arts Centre. See what happens when Sadie Flynn, a convicted husband killer just released from prison, arrives in the small town of Big Oak. When Sadie’s bus rolls in, the sleepy town has a huge wake-up call! Help us have the best season yet. A lot of plays have been rehearsed and performed over our 50-year history. Our very own and well-known Vida Hopson arrived in Kemptville in 1949 when Jim Morton was the head of an informal drama group called Play for Fun, a group that lasted until the 1950s. Then, after a 10year hiatus, Vida revived the group in April 1967, naming it the St. James Players. Its first production was Noel Coward's I'll Leave It To You, put on at Leslie Hall. By 1974, the group had changed its name to the Kemptville Players to reflect the community. The name was incorporated in 1980 so our name is now officially Kemptville Players Inc. or KPI. We’ve performed plays at North Grenville High School and the Parish Hall at Kemptville College, but most of our productions were presented at Leslie Hall. We now present our plays at the Urbandale Arts Centre at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Come and see this wonderful play and help us celebrate our 50th anniversary. Tickets can be purchased at B&H, Business Strategies and at the door. You can also buy tickets online on Sept. 15 at www.kemptvilleplayers.ca or call Elaine at 613-258-5137. Tickets for the show are $15 and dinner theatre tickets for Saturday, Oct. 28 are $45. We look forward to seeing you in October! Submitted by the Kemptville Players Inc.

Jennifer Noxon opens new exhibit in Almonte Jennifer Noxon is wellknown in the Ottawa/Lanark County area for her many talents as a gifted songwriter, performer and leader of the Rhythm & Song Community Choirs. The Almonte resident is an amateur beekeeper and had a previous career as an adult educator. And, if you didn’t already know, she’s also an experienced visual artist who approaches artmaking with serious intent and a playful, visual intellect. Paint, Paper and Flotsam is an exhibition of three types of new work: small paintings on panel, found plastic constructions and a 3-D digital print array installed across one wall of the gallery. Each series informs the other in surprising and ironic ways. At the core of this new work is the "flotsam" series which she began two years ago. “While walking the beaches of Lake Ontario,” says Jennifer, “I picked up bits of colourful, weathered and water-worn plastic. I didn’t have anything in mind at the time — but there was a certain thrill to the collection process. The bits and bobs went into my
pockets and, eventually, into my studio.” Noxon describes how, after many months of exploration, the plastic pieces evolved into constructions that tell cautionary tales. “As I played with these found pieces, I thought a lot about where they might have come from, the effect discarded plastic is having on our waterways and natural systems, and just how much we depend on plastics in all aspects of our lives.” The constructions serve as metaphors that “suggest darker ideas of what could happen in the future.” Evolving from the plastic constructions, her small paintings on panel depict convoluted geometric shapes with elements of landscape and her signature playful colour palette. The plastic pieces appear again in an amazing, long array of folded paper imprinted with digital photographs. Please join us at General Fine Craft for the opening and meet the artist on Thursday, Sept. 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. Visit www.generalfinecraft.com; for more information, call 613-4613463 or email generalfinecraft@gmail.com.

New blues series starts on the Rideau The Blues On The Rideau Dinner & Show Fundraiser Series at the Cove Inn in Westport, Ont., returns this month for its 13th season. Over the years, some of Canada’s best blues artists (Juno and/or Maple Blues Award, Western Canadian Music Award and Quebec Lys Blues Award winners/nominees) have played here, along with some American special guests. This year — Canada’s 150th anniversary — is no exception. We are very pleased and excited about this year’s lineup. There are 10 shows in total in 2017/18 — one a month from September through May (December excluded) including two 2 Night Stands* in January and May. All shows take place from 7-11 pm. The ticket price remains the same (for the fourth year in a row) — $65 (plus HST). It includes a delicious full course buffet dinner, door prizes and dancing. Proceeds go to support different local charities. To date, over $64,000 has been raised for the Westport community with the goal of another $5,000 this season. See the attached poster for a list of all the charities being supported. The 2017/18 season kicks off
Sept. 22 with four-time Maple Blues Award winner for Best Female Vocalist in Canada — the dynamic Angel Forrest and her great band from Quebec’s eastern townships. One of the more powerful singers on the blues/rock scene today, Angel’s voice has been described as a cross between Janis Joplin and Etta James. This is her second visit to the Cove. She tore the house down the first time around and we expect the same for this show. Advance ticket sales have been very brisk — her show is already almost sold out — so move fast if you want to be there! * Oct. 27 — Blackburn (Toronto); * Nov. 24 — Tas Cru w. Wicked Grin (New York state/ Ottawa); * Jan. 19 & 20* — Jack De Keyzer Band (Toronto) * 2 Night Stand; * Feb. 16 — Harpdog Brown & the Travelin’ Blues Show w. Sugar Brown (Vancouver/Toronto) * March 16 — Sean Pinchin Band (Kitchener) * April 20 — Boogie Patrol (Edmonton) May 11/12* — David Rotundo Band (Toronto/Mexico) * 2 Night Stand
Note: Artists may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Check with the Cove as each show approaches. Full details including artists’ bios, links to their websites and YouTube videos can be found at www.BluesOnTheRideau.ca. More info on the Cove can be found at www.coveinn.com. Advance reservations are required for these nights. They can be made in person at the Cove, by phone 1-888-COVEINN or 613-273-3636, or by email info@coveinn.com. Accommodation is available at the Cove and nearby bed and breakfasts, and there’s a motel in town — but book well ahead. All the beds in town usually sell out on BOTR nights. All BOTR shows take place in the friendly, intimate setting of the Cove’s dining room/ bar in the 140-year-old classic country inn in one of the most beautiful villages in eastern Ontario — Westport — located on the shores of Upper Rideau Lake on the world famous Rideau Waterway, only an hour-and-a-half drive from Ottawa, 45 minutes from Kingston, two-and-a-half hours from Syracuse, three hours from Toronto and Montreal.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, communication is essential in any relationship, including ones of a romantic nature. Learn to get your point across without being too forward.
LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Intense desires are simmering just beneath the surface, Leo. But you’re not sure how to express your feelings just yet. Usually you are direct, but this may require finesse.
TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may have little desire to go above and beyond what is necessary this week. You may want to spend much of your time sticking to familiar routines.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Hanging out with friends seems like a great idea, especially when all of your tasks at work and at home have been completed, Virgo. Don’t let anything hold you back.
GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can probably use a good dose of peace and quiet right now, but there are too many things on your calendar for this to be possible anytime soon.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, enjoy a boost in ambition, stamina and overall energy in the coming days. This will help you initiate and complete projects with amazing precision.
SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Pay careful attention to all details, Scorpio. They are trying to tell you something about your future. You just do not know where the road will bend.

It is time to push away those feelings once and for all. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, find different ways to express your feelings to your partner.

ON THE BEAT: Commissionaires of Perth, helping to keep the public safe BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
Walking the beat with the Perth Commissionaires on Friday, Aug. 25, one gets a sense of what they do – keep people safe. Remember that if you are caught parking illegally in town and you see a white ticket fluttering under your windshield wiper. An initial reaction may be anger or frustration – or simply, oh yes, I forgot to put a loonie in the meter. That’s all it costs to park in Perth – just a dollar an hour – if you’ve exceeded your two-hour courtesy-parking limit while parked in the downtown core. “We take a photo of each vehicle as we ticket them, so there is no doubt the vehicle is parked illegally,” said Mike Benoit, provincial offences officer/parking authority supervisor. Benoit and Commissionaire John Smith (not his real name) were more than gracious hosts for The Perth Courier reporter’s walkabout on this sunny Friday. Just outside Town Hall, the first ticket issued was to a red pickup truck parked the opposite direction on Market Square. “Our biggest complaint about tickets issued to vehicles parked the wrong way is that they think this is a one-way street,” Benoit said. The first thing the Commissionaires do during their eight-hour shift, walking about 10 kilometres each day, is to e-chalk each vehicle. “We used to chalk tires, but now we
do it electronically,” Benoit said. Marking a tire with a piece of chalk in relation to the curb showed the Commissionaire if the car had moved. “Now, we do it electronically, as it allows us to import each licence plate into our system and the street where they’re parked,” Benoit said. Then if a driver has moved the vehicle to a different spot, Commissionaires know what time they initially parked in the downtown business area and if they have ended their two hours of free parking. “People don’t realize that they can’t move their vehicle to a different spot after two hours are up,” Benoit said. “They will get a ticket.” The Town of Perth offers complimentary parking for two consecutive hours in a five-hour period on downtown streets within the Business Improvement Area (BIA) courtesy of the Downtown Perth Business Improvement Association, Benoit explained. A walk around Market Square and south on Gore Street doesn’t result in any more tickets. “One of the worst spots is in front of Tim Hortons (Gore and Craig streets). It gets pretty congested during school hours,” Benoit said. There are parking areas, but more often than not people will park for “just a few minutes” while they run in for a quick coffee break, he said. Heading back north on Gore Street, the parking infractions are nonexistent. Over in the Crystal Palace municipal parking lot, the Commissionaires are looking for tickets with proper

A Perth commissionaire tickets a vehicle for parking in the opposite direction on Market Street, Aug. 25. dates and times or a monthly parking pass. “I hadn’t been on the job very long and didn’t know all the town staff vehicles,” Smith said. “I ended up giving our clerk a ticket. Her parking pass was in her other vehicle.” Just then we approach a vehicle with a dog inside the car and its owner petting him through the open window on the passenger side. “I’m just leaving,” she told the commissionaire. The little terrier-type dog was barking furiously at the Commissionaire – who pulled out a pet treat from the pocket of his uniform pants. “Maybe you can give this to him,” he said to the woman. The eager pup made friends quickly with the Commissionaire as it lapped up the salmon treat. “Sometimes it’s easier to make friends with dogs,” he said, as we walked from the car. A grin split his weathered face and his blue eyes twinkled. Smith is relatively new at this Commissionaire’s gig, but he’s not new to customer service and working with the public, nor is he new to working outside. “I was 30 years as a land surveyor,” he said. “But I needed a job and this one became available. I did a lot of training.” He was also a bar manager at a resort where he said he met Jane Fonda. “I do this (Commissionaire) because I really enjoy working with the public,” he said. “I don’t enjoy writing tickets … but I have met so many nice people here.” Benoit said he’s been a Commissionaire for eight years now. The Smiths Falls area man said he loves meeting people and keeping the community safe. “Not all of our interactions will be friendly, but there are a lot more positive than negative.” During the Crystal Palace walkabout, a couple of tickets were issued: one for an expired ticket and one for no ticket at all.
Over on Herriott Street in the parking lot, a man who owns a business in town was ticketed for an expired permit. He became agitated and spoke with Benoit about the infraction as Smith went on his way around to Gore Street again. Benoit listened to the man, who decided to fight his ticket at Town Hall as he “had some valid points” about tourists not wanting to come to town if they’re getting hit with parking tickets. “He really did have some good points, and I hope he brings them forward,” Benoit said. While these vehicles were given $15 fines for parking infractions ($10 if paid early) there are other areas in town where the fine is not so low. If you park on the sidewalk or are obstructing traffic, the set fine is $37.50 – or $25 if paid early. “Parking in a fire lane will get you a $75 ticket if paid early,” Benoit said. “Or if not, it’s a $112.50 set fine.” The Town of Perth permits those with a wheelchair access parking pass to park in any legal parking space (designated or not) free of charge, this includes municipal parking lots and at street meters. The 15 minute time limit is reserved for loading zones, meaning if they have a disabled pass they can park for up to 15 minutes in the town's loading zones, Benoit explained. “Not all towns are like this,” Benoit said. But for someone who does not have an accessible parking pass and is parked in an accessible space, the fine is $300. Avoiding tickets is easier now as there is a credit card option at the parking permit machines in most of the municipal lots. The machines in the hospital parking lot and at the museum parking lot will be changed over next spring, Benoit said. “And pretty soon we’ll have a new ticketing system,” he said. Instead of using just one handheld device to import information,

each Commissionaire will have one and they will work together. It will help with violation enforcement and incident reporting by automating parking management and generating more income. The new system provides a full service, cloud-based parking and security application that can scale to the town’s operation, Benoit explained. “And we’ll be able to import date just by taking a photo of a licence plate,” he said. The town just completed a tendering process for the new ticket and permit management system, which is replacing the preceding system that was acquired over 15 years ago,” Eric Cosens, director of development and protective services for the town, said in an email. “It includes a ticket and permit management software, replacement of our current hand-held devices, that are 10 years old and beyond their service life, and associated hand-held ticket printers.” The total price for the new system for the next three years is expected to range between $30,000 and $35,000.” TICKET FEE REVENUE The Town of Perth has a 27-year relationship with the Commissionaires. Cosens said the funds collected through parking tickets are used in many ways. “The funds raised pay for the parking system which includes: enforcement services, line painting, snow clearing of the parking lots, repairs in the parking lots, parking meter equipment acquisition, meter maintenance, operational service charges e.g. fee for credit card processing, and supplies, and parking service management software licensing fees,” Cosens said in an email. Commissionaires do the town’s bylaw enforcement including: merchandise display and signs; property and yard maintenance; the busking See COMMISSIONAIRES page 29

He served 21 years and thereafter continued to serve Canada within the Communications Security Establishment until his retirement at age 55.

Brooks J. D’Arcy BA, LLB, QC
October 6th, 1935 September 3rd, 2017 Our prince of a man, took his leave from us, after a brief illness, in the Great War Memorial Hospital in Perth, Ontario on Sunday, September 3rd, 2017. Loving husband of Linda (Doyle), devoted father of Brenda (Mark Lewis), Jennifer (Craig Hill), Allison and David. Proud grandfather of Kaitlyn, Connor, Emma and Alexandra. He also leaves his brothers Terry, Bill and Michael. D’Arcy was predeceased by his parents Dr. Edward F. and Isobel (Noonan) Brooks, his four sisters Mary, Patricia, Elizabeth and Susan. After graduating from Queen’s Law School and being called to the bar, he joined the firm Borden Elliot Kelly and Palmer which later became Borden Elliot. He developed an extensive practice in corporate law before becoming managing partner and CEO of the firm. He took a leading role in the formation of a national firm which was to become Borden Ladner Gervais, one of the nation’s largest firms. He was admired by his partners and associates for his vision in this endeavor. D’Arcy was a gentleman, a leader and the most generous of men who took pride in the time he spent on the boards on which he served, particularly St. Josephs Health Centre in Toronto. In spite of his achievements, his most precious time was spent with family and friends, especially when at Christie Lake. The family would like to thank Dr. Stephanie Popiel and the amazing staff and nurses who cared so lovingly for D’Arcy as well as our nieces and nephews who stood by his side during his final days. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St., West, Perth on Sunday, September 10th, 2017 from 12:00 Noon until 4:00 P.M. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in St. John’s Church, 38 Wilson St., East, Perth on Monday at 1:00 P.M. A reception for family and friends will follow at Code’s Mill On The Park, 53 Herriott St., Perth. Donations in D’Arcy’s memory could be made to the Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation, 33 Drummond St., West, Perth or St. Joseph’s Health Centre in Toronto in lieu of flowers. I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing that I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again…William Penn Blair & Son Funeral Home, Perth (613) 267-3765 to send your condolences or for further information visit www.blairandson.com

GUNN, Robert – September 7, 2015 If we could visit Heaven even for a day, Maybe for a moment the pain would go away. We would put our arms around you, And whisper words so true. That living life without you, Is the hardest thing to do. No matter how we spend our days, No matter what we do. No morning dawns or evening falls, When we don’t think of you. Forever and always, Marilyn and Family

COADY, Sean Douglas In loving memory of our dear son, who tragically was taken too soon, September 16, 2006. Every day our hearts are filled with sorrow, Wondering how we will make it through tomorrow. Our time with you was precious, And the memories we have are too. The love we share together keeps us close to you. Maybe we cannot touch your hand or see your smiling face, Maybe we cannot hear your voice or feel your warm embrace, But, there is something we will always have, Tucked safely in our hearts, Our love for you… your love for us… will never let us part. “Those we love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as our life remains.” Love, Mom and Dad
COADY, Sean Douglas Remembering my fun and loving brother… my best friend… who left this earth, much too soon, September 16, 2006. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish for one more laugh, one more hug. Time passes… the grief remains, but I know that you would say… Keep my memory with you, For memories never die. I will always be there with you, When you look up in the sky. When your heart is heavy And you feel you are alone, Reach deep down inside yourself For your heart is now my home. I will always be there with you I will never go away I will live on within your heart Each and every day. “In my mind I see you and in my heart I keep you…” Love, Erin

permit; the pedlars permit, and some inspection assistance with animal control, particularly within public parks, and general bylaw enforcement patrolling. They also undertake routine maintenance on all parking meters,” Cosens noted. Perth averaged just over 5,900 tickets issued in 2015 and 2016, he said. There were between 25 and 30 tickets that proceeded to court and just two of them had successful appeals – one due to a missing signage and another due to construction-related conditions. Cosens said during the 2015-16 reporting periods there were average fine revenues (all parking violations – i.e. not just unpaid meters or parking beyond a time limit) of roughly $78,000 annually out of total averaged yearly revenues of approximately $254,000. For 2016, after operating expenses, the town had anticipated a net income of just over $14,000 from the parking system. “Revenues were a bit shy of (what was) anticipated and we had capital expenses for the new parking machines and associated software in the parking lots; such that the system ended the year in slight deficit that, I believe, had to be covered by tax revenue.”

employees from coast to coast – Halifax to Victoria up to the Yukon and North-West Territories. We are a notfor-profit company, which means that 90 per cent of our bill rate goes back to our employees in direct and indirect benefits. There is a Newfoundland and Labrador Division as well. They have operations in St. John's and recently won a contract with the Town of Torbay, doing similar services as Kingston and Region does with Perth. "When we bill a client, we give back 90 per cent to our employees. We are about trying to give them a living wage. We have benefits: health, paid training, safety boots, and an EAP program, and life insurance. So we try and look after our employees as best as we can with the bill rate we receive.” As a contracted security guard company, a client will hire Commissionaires and pay them an hourly wage, “and we take that wage and give 90 per cent back to employees and keep 10 per cent for administration.” They have been working with Perth since 1990, “doing bylaw for the Town of Perth.” There are many contracts across Canada. The national annual gross revenue of Commissionaires is over $500 million. “The Perth bylaw is one of the many contracts we have across Canada, and we have many, many contracts.” Voith is the CEO for the Kingston Region – from Cornwall to Bowmanville, including Smiths Falls and Perth. The region is divided into five districts: Cornwall, Brockville, Kingston, Belleville, and Coburg. Perth falls under the district of Brockville.

Learning takes back seat 1-888-657-6193 during statue debate classifiedseast@metroland.com In downtown Franklin, Tennessee the public square sits at the heart of the rapidly growing city of 70,000. It’s a community focal point with public buildings, including city hall, facing the square. Look to the west along Main Street and the historic, picturesque downtown unfolds in front of you. At the centre of the two-acre square stands the city’s Confederate monument. In the years following the American Civil War, communities across the nation erected memorials to honour their war dead. Some Franklin women founded a local chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy. They held bake sales and quilting bees for 17 years, until they had raised the $2,700 needed to erect the monument. They chose Nov. 30, 1899, the 35th anniversary of the Battle of Franklin, as the day for the dedication ceremony. There is an interesting side story about the statue. It arrived by train several days before the dedication and was taken to the square by wagon. Workers began hoisting the statue of a Confederate soldier to the top of the column. During the process it slipped from its moorings and fell, crashing against the base of the monument. In the process, a piece of the soldier’s hat was chipped off. No attempt was made to repair the small break and the statue was successfully raised into place. Five days later 10,000 people were on hand to witness the dedication. The Franklin statue depicts an anonymous Confederate infantryman at rest. Locals have nicknamed him “Chip” in recognition of his damaged headgear. I have viewed Chip and photographed him several times over the years. Franklin is a Sister City of Carleton Place where we live and I currently chair the local Sister City Committee. My wife Kathleen is also a member. During a private visit to Nashville in February Kathy and I went to nearby Franklin to have dinner with friends. As I write this article I am looking at the photos I took of the Confederate monument that night. After dark it’s illuminated by floodlights and is an impressive sight. Today, however, in communities across the United States efforts to remove Confederate monuments are ongoing. Activity ramped up considerably in the wake of the violence that erupted during a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last month. A 32-year-old female counter protester was killed and several others injured when a speeding car deliberately ran them down. That shocking incident has fuelled debates across the U.S. about race and free speech which are ongoing and could continue for months or years. The white supremacists and neo-

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE
Nazis who invaded Charlottesville did so partly to protest that city’s plan to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. He led Southern forces during the Civil War. Remove statues What they actually accomplished was to turn the statue removal issue into a national cause. Cities such as Baltimore, New Orleans, Gainesville and Lexington have either removed Civil War statues or are in the process of doing so. Now centres across the country are caught up in the debate. Franklin, Tennessee is no exception. Two petitions are currently circulating in the city. One calls for the removal of the war monument. The other is called simply “Save Chip!” I’m not American so I can’t participate directly in this debate. But due to my strong interest in history I am moved to offer some thoughts. This issue also has a cross-border connection, something I wrote about last week. In the aftermath of Charlottesville there are calls to remove certain statues and plaques in Canada as well. A few weeks ago an Ontario teachers’ federation proposed that the name of our first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, should be removed from nine elementary schools which currently bear his name. The teachers feel Macdonald’s terrible treatment of Indigenous people means naming schools after him is wrong. So far that idea has failed to gain much traction with politicians or the public either according to the polls. My contention last week was that despite Macdonald’s misdeeds, teaching our history is far more important than hiding it. In general, I feel the same way about the situation in the U.S. although the circumstances surrounding the removal of Civil War statues has two sides in my opinion. Memorials to Lee and others are being cited as ongoing symbols of white supremacy. It’s a valid point when you consider the Confederate states seceded and fought the Civil War mainly in an effort to maintain slavery. In addition, many of the now contentious Confederate statues, which are named for Rebel leaders, were erected long after the Civil War. Many appeared early in the 20th Century to help support segregationist laws. Others were added, in cookie-cutter fashion, in the 1960s in an effort to See MAGUIRE page 38

This Week’s Pets
Chevy
Henderson
Henderson is eight years old, a recent arrival at LAWS who has settled in very well. He is mostly white with interesting grey accents, silky-soft, laid-back, friendly and sociable, loves
Chevy is four years old, a gorgeous medium long hair brown tabby with the biggest purr and the tiniest meow! He shares a run with other cats but prefers to keep to himself. He loves people and can't get enough petting and attention but does not like when
another cat butts in on his cuddlesession. He hasn't been at LAWS long so he may just be settling in to the new environment or maybe he just needs to be the only cat in your life.
Mr. Ed
Mr Ed is a three-year-old tuxedo, outgoing and friendly, eager for attention from visitors to the run he happily shares with other cats. He is a recent arrival at LAWS and has adjusted very well to shelter life. He will be delighted to adjust well to life in a home of his own!
Robin
Robin is the youngest of this week's selection but he has been at the shelter the longest - nearly five months. He
was initially scared of us and refused to be touched, but after months of TLC he has opened his heart to the staff and volunteers. He is calm and undemanding and now comes to greet visitors to his run, rubs around their legs, enjoys being petted and even being held for a bit of a cuddle. He deserves a lovely home where he can enjoy the comforts of indoor life. He is a fairly large, well-muscled lad about two and a half years old with beautiful silky grey and white fur.

counter the civil rights movement. I understand why people want those particular statues removed. However, many others across the south, including the Franklin statue, are memorials to the Confederate dead in the Civil War. To me those monuments should be left alone as their stated purpose is to pay tribute to those who died. The cause southerners defended during the war is arguably one of the worst anyone ever fought and died for. But consideration should be given to the fact that many Confederate war victims did not volunteer to fight. They were drafted under a compulsory service law instituted in 1862. The Battle of Franklin, on Nov. 30, 1864, was a Union victory. There were nearly 10,000 casualties on
both sides. Nearly 1,500 Confederate dead are interred in the privately funded McGavock Confederate Cemetery in Franklin. If Franklin residents and people in other American centres vote in favour of removing local Civil War memorials as part of a democratic process then so be it! However, a senator from Tennessee who was asked about the current statue debate said, “I feel we should spend less time erasing history and more time learning about it.” To me his sentiment remains an important part of this debate. Hiding history is not the answer. Learning from it should be the primary objective, not only in the U.S. and Canada but around the world!

Laura Smith invades Perth's Listening Room Series Here's hoping you had a magical summer, attended lots of music festivals, got turned on by new-to-you musicians and found enough sunshine to keep you smilin' inside and out. As we head into fall, it's good to start planning ahead. This article will hopefully assist in doing so as the Listening Room Series in Perth kicks off on Sunday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. with an award-winning Canadian legend from the East Coast ... singer / songwriter Laura Smith at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant). Championed by the late Peter Gzowski of CBC Radio's Morningside, he too had been smitten by her haunting voice heralding our past when her song, My Bonny, her adaptation of the original My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, from her second album hit the airways. From then on, he included her tunes in many of his shows. I remember hearing her live for the first time at the Tulip
Musical Musings STEVE TENNANT
Festival in Ottawa and being mesmerized by the beautifully wholesome sound of her truly unique voice and the insightful, creative storytelling she offered through most songs by her own hand. Many a time I've seen her bring tears to the eyes of a whole audience, just singing a cappella. She brought the Stewart Park Festival audience to a rousing standing ovation last time she played. Though born and raised in London, Ont., she has called Canada's East Coast home since 1984, which has affected her writing — boats, water, historical yarns, community and the charm of the people inhabiting. If Laura Smith weren't enough to make you rush to get tickets as she's sold out every time she
plays here, she's being accompanied by the widely recognized guitar virtuoso, multiple award winning Tony Quarrington. Tickets are $20 and available by calling 613-267-7902 to arrange necessary payment in advance to reserve. Dinner reservations at the Perth Tea Room (Perth Restaurant) can be made by calling 613-267-3170 which includes your ticket. Part of the proceeds will be going to the Lanark County Community Justice Program — a worthy program facilitating restorative justice in our area. Other upcoming dates to put on your calendar for the Listening Room Series are: Sunday, Oct. 22 — Arlene Quinn (solo — performing her own music), Sunday, Nov. 12 — returning, from out West — John Wort Hannam and Sunday, Dec. 3 is Irish Mythen. For those new to the area or looking for a different entertainment experience, the Lis-
tening Room Series features quality singer/songwriter musicians from all around the world who perform original material in a quiet, concert-like atmosphere, usually two sets an evening. These are nonprofit and run as fundraisers for different charities each month. Everyone speaks of the intimacy of the experience, being able to meet the artists at breaks and enjoy the stories between songs. Email me to get on list for notifications. My email is ferdburphyll@ gmail.com. UPCOMING EVENT Saturday, Sept. 23: 7 p.m. “Between the Lines” at The Cove, Westport, An Intimate Night of Great Canadian Singer/Songwriters; Jenny Whiteley, Suzie Vinnick, Rick Fines, Wendell Ferguson will perform, sharing their musical gifts. $55 for dinner and show. Reservations suggested. Call 613-2733636.

Will purple reign on Foster Street? BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Purple used to be a colour that only royalty could wear. For a commoner to wear it could land them in trouble with the authorities. Now, a Perth business is being taken to task by town hall for painting that very same colour on its front façade. On Tuesday, Aug. 29, town hall’s community services director Shannon Baillon stopped by the Shadowfax store on Foster Street, just as the store’s contracted painter was putting the finishing touches on the newlypainted façade. “She was very polite,” said store owner Angie Gilchrist, during an interview at her store on the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 7. “She loved the colours herself.” However, Baillon also quickly had to come to the point, that the colours did “not conform to the heritage colours,” said Gilchrist. “You’re going to have to repaint,” Gilchrist recounted Baillon telling her. “She said all of them (all three colours, green, orange and purple) did not conform.” The next day, Gilchrist had to be at Perth town hall anyway as she sits on the board of directors of the Downtown Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA), so, following that meeting, she met with Baillon, Eric Cosens, director of development and protective services, and Karen Rennie, heritage tourism manager. According to Gilchrist, “the orange, they could live with, the green and the purple had to go.”

The front facade of the Shadowfax store, looking out onto Foster Street, as seen on the afternoon of Thursday, Sept. 7. It is Gilchrist’s contention, however, that it would take about 30 days for the bright purple colour to “cure” and for the colour to “dull down” a bit, and not be as brightly purple as it was when it was finished last month. The painting cost $2,500. Gilchrist has since sent Baillon an email at 9:56 on the morning of Sept. 7, in which she made her position very clear. “I hope you can respect my decision when I tell you that I have decided not to repaint Shadowfax,” wrote Gilchrist. “There’s no way I can afford to repaint the whole thing,” said Gilchrist that afternoon. She added that she has posted her story on social media and the response has been “overwhelmingly positive.” In her email to Baillon, she wrote that “people love it, they

say it’s exactly what the town needs.” Gilchrist did add, however, that “I am not saying businesses should be allowed to paint whatever colours they want, but you should definitely broaden that heritage pallet to liven things up a bit! It’s obviously what the town (people) wants.” Gilchrist said that she did not avail of the Downtown Perth Community Improvement Plan’s Façade Improvement Program, as three quotes are needed to be considered, and she said she could not corral three painters to come over to Foster Street to provide her with estimates. Further to this, Gilchrist said she believed that since her store had already had a purple exterior, “I didn’t think I had to reapply” to town hall to repaint her façade. The store was established in 1980,
keeping it local and canadian for over 40 years

by Wendy Laut, who served as Perth’s & so much more deputy mayor and helped found the Stewart Park Festival. One of the festival stages still bears her name. Her favourite colour was lime green and Gilchrist said that was why lime green was added to the front façade. Interestingly, since she posted about her discussions with town hall, foodsmiths.com “my sales have been up,” she said. Town hall reply Cosens, speaking to this newspaper later that afternoon, said that it was the hope of town staff that Shadowfax could get “a heritage grant to assist … with coming into compliance.” He said town staff sympathized with Gilchrist’s situation, since “there is an economic cost to her … coming into compliance,” and that they would like to assist, “to find a way (for Shadowfax) to meet the colour palette permitted in the heritage district.” OFFICE: 613-283-3182 The town has a set colour palette, and any changes – including new DIRECT: 613-267-0988 lighting for the proposed crosswalk at Herriott and Gore Street East, or even planters – have to conform to the downtown heritage look. Stores have to apply for a heritage permit before they do any changes to their storefronts, and they cannot get that permit if their choice of colour does not comply with the colour palette, News, events and information on your explained Cosens. desktop, laptop or mobile device He also acknowledged that ShadSee what’s happening by visiting owfax’s original colour scheme also www.insideottawavalley.com/ had a healthy splash of purple, but ottawavalley-events noted that “the original colour scheme www.facebook.com/PerthCourier pre-dated the heritage district,” desig@InOttValley nation.

Zack makes tracks to Drummond Central School
On the first day of school, Drummond Central School students received a surprise visit and extra inspiration from 13-year-old Zack Hofer who was well on his way to completing his 400-km journey from Barrie to Parliament Hill to raise awareness for Youth Mental Health. Zach took a few moments out of his busy schedule to hand out bracelets, meet and greet take a few photos and explain a little about his quest to raise money and awareness for Youth Mental Health with the students and staff of Drummont Central School. Students and staff cheered and were so moved and inspired that they plan on contributing one of their fundraisers to this very worthy cause. To date Zach has raised $70,000 for Youth Mental Health.

Council arrives at the promised land for Conlon Farm garage BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Moses wandered the desert 40 years before reaching the promised land. It took Perth town staff, councillors, and stakeholder groups less time, but they still had to walk acres of Conlon Farm to find their own promised piece of land for a new garage. Councillors voted 4-2 Tuesday, Aug. 29, to allow for the garage to be built “beside the right field corner of the legion ball diamond, in the southwest end of the parking lot, closest to St. John High School." That's according to a joint report from community services director Shannon Baillon and development and protective services director Eric Cosens. Council also voted for a budget deviation of $8,000 for the added cost of running power to the garage. Even at this, the proposed site was recommended by staff over the other option, at the base of Toboggan Hill, to replace the existing garage, “due to the lower cost,” in part, wrote Baillon and Cosens. The cost to build on the existing location at Toboggan Hill would have been $64,713, while the legion diamond location will only cost $51,153. The budget line for the garage is only for $40,000. About $3,000 of the outstanding money will be drawn from the property capital budget, while the $8,000 “for the electrical cost would come from the bottom line,” wrote the directors. Coun. Judy Brown said that the garage saga is “a project that has been very thoroughly investigated." She said “it was good" to have the Friends of Conlon Farm group help select a site.
The recreation advisory panel also endorsed the location at its Aug. 23 meeting. The chosen site was the last location visited during a walking tour, headed by Baillon. Councillors Ed McPherson, Jim Graff, and Riq Turner, were joined by Rick Wilson, past president of Perth and District Little League, recreation advisory panel chair Frank McLean, and Harry Hale of the Friends of Conlon Farm, for the walkabout on Wednesday, June 21. Baillon told council there were several meetings since then, where “they agreed with” the chosen location. “We looked at every possible option. There really was no better option.” Coun. Jim Boldt said he was not “100 per cent convinced” the chosen location was the best one. “I truly do not feel we have done enough due diligence on this." Having seen the current garage at Conlon Farm, McPherson was blunt: “The building is a disgrace,” and he warned that if a provincial inspector were to give the building the onceover, it would not, in his estimation, pass inspection. He stressed a garage is needed because driving vehicles between Conlon Farm and the public works garage on Sunset Boulevard “doesn’t make any sense. We need to look after these facilities. I don’t think we could have done a better job.” Graff said the town may have “put the cart before the horse,” with chalk outlines on the ground of where staff wanted the new garage to go, before the Friends of Conlon Farm and other stakeholder groups were brought in for their input. He asked for staff to “consult more
www.insideottawavalley.com
with council, when it is a permanent structure.” Graff also said that he would have liked to have seen “a more open bid (process),” during the garage debate. “I’m not saying it was illegal,” Graff hastened to add. Mayor John Fenik was quick to pick up on this point.
“There is nothing illegal or improper,” he insisted. Graff also said he would vote against the measure, along with Boldt, for another reason. “Over by the fence, it is a more opportune spot for vandalism,” Graff said, though he was also quick to say that he was not necessarily singling
out students attending nearby St. John high school. Graff also queried some of the numbers presented in the report — which Baillon informed him were fairly solid numbers. The building costs were “exactly what was bid,” she said, and the “power quotes are exact quotes.”

desmond.devoy@metroland.com
If video killed the radio star, then cinema killed the magic lantern. No, the magic lantern is not an item found in the arsenal of the superheroes at DC Comics (well, except maybe the Green Lantern, of course) or a teaching tool for wizards in the classrooms of Hogwarts. Rather, it is an early device that projected images printed on transparent slides, backlit by a light, onto a screen. (Professor) M. Lindsay Lambert, a longtime fan of the ancient, early technology, said that while the magic lanterns were “supplanted by cinema,” they “opened the world up to people.” During a presentation at the Probus Club of Perth’s monthly meeting — their first after their summer hiatus — at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall on Wednesday, Sept. 6, he said that as the world’s first mass communication tool, “it set the stage for all forms of audio visual entertainment” to come. (Lambert appeared dressed in Victorian era attire for his talk. How much of a throwback is Lambert and his presentation? Well, consider that his letter of introduction to the Probus Club was sent via snail mail and was typed on an Underwood typewriter.) Lambert showed the club a demon-

Lindsay Lambert adjusts his machinery before the start of his magic lantern show during the Probus Club of Perth’s monthly meeting at the Royal Canadian Legion on Wednesday, Sept. 6. stration of what a show in the Victorian era would have looked like, starting with the “Welcome” card. “If you think media advertising is recent, it isn’t,” said Lambert, pointing to the Cadbury Cocoa logo at the bottom of the welcome slide — a precursor to the ads still shown before the main feature in movie theatres. Cadbury caught on to the popularity of the contraption and sent out thousands of beautifully illustrated “Welcome” slides for free. These slides did double duty, because the showmen got a free slide and “Cadbury’s would
get an ongoing promotion.” Lambert went so far as to write to Cadbury’s American office and its British head office, letting them know that the cards were “still doing duty,” but so far, “nobody replied.” (There would also be a “Good Night” slide at the show’s end.) History on screen Another photo that would be a part of any magic lantern show in Canada or Great Britain would have been a portrait of the monarch of the day, usually Queen Victoria. Lambert, however, covered all bases by using an
1894 photo showing Victoria holding a baby, who would later become King Edward VIII, with the men who would become kings Edward VII and George V, respectively, in the frame. Just as the United States has Uncle Sam as its national embodiment, or Marianne is the embodiment of the spirit of the French people, then Britannia represented Britain and her subjects. The slide of Britannia was to show that British “power was not just ascendant, but established,” he said, before breaking into a rousing rendition of the chorus Rule Britannia. (He later sang the song The Maple Leaf Forever, whereby he was joined in the singing by several members of the club. The song professes a very Anglo-centred vision of Canada, which caused Lambert to quip, “You can understand why it was never very popular in French Canada.”) The magic lanterns were also a precursor to the later newsreels. Queen Victoria died on Jan. 22, 1901, and Lambert showed a slide of the funeral procession in London on Feb. 2. Lambert called it a “very grand procession, the likes of which you do not see” today — rivalled only, perhaps, by the funeral of Princess Diana in 1997. There was another slide that followed of King Edward VII on the throne, to show the continuation of power and the crown resting on a new head. The magic lantern shows were most

popular in the 19th century, but the projectors traced their roots back 200 years previous. According to An Encyclopaedia of the History of Technology (2002) edited by Ian McNeil, in “1654, P. Kirchner in Germany described a small projector for transparencies and about 1660, Christian Huygens constructed a magic lantern, but such projectors were not manufactured on a large scale until 1845, when they quickly spread across Europe.” Their popularity was spread, in part, by travelling showmen, who would stage magic lantern shows everywhere from taverns to the homes of the high and mighty. By 1858, the London Illustrated News weekly news magazine had a drawing in one of its editions, which included a couple canoodling in the back row, not paying much attention to the images on the screen — a scene that still plays out in cinemas today. “It’s a great storytelling tool,” said Lambert. Another image he projected onto the screen at the legion showed a Japanese actor, a ventriloquist, using a kabuki theatre mask. While intriguing enough of an image today, “showinng this to a rural Ontario audience of the 1890s would be like showing us a picture of a Martian (today). It opened up the world to people.” There were also slides of other deSee LANTERNS page P7

veloping events, like the Klondike Gold Rush. Realizing an evangelizing opportunity, “churches adopted the technology,” said Lambert. “You got a good lesson, like where all of our troubles came from,” said Lambert, pointing to a slide of Eve offering Adam an apple in the Garden of Eden. Lyrics to hymns would also be projected on screen, as well as the not-so-subtle “A collection will now be made” slide, urging attendees to dig deep. Temperance societies would also utilize the technology. “They would entertain people before they got into the heavy stuff,” said Lambert. “People make fun of the temperance movement” now, said Lambert, but alcohol was a scourge at the time — in part because “it was unregulated.” After the lighter entertainment, the more sober, shall we say, message of “Don’t be a prisoner of drink. Sign the (teetotaller) pledge tonight” would flash on the screen. Slides extolling the virtues of immigration to Canada, to farm the prairies, were included in British shows. Technology talk Lambert’s projector was a 1906 Iron Duke. He explained that many such projectors were made of either Russian iron or tin or mahogany. “In good 19th century showman
tradition, I call myself professor,” said Lambert. “I profess to know a bit about magic lanterns,” he said with a laugh. As the slide technology advanced, there were new innovations made on the slides — such as a clown appearing to spin on a monkey bar or a lion whose mouth and eyes moved, a young girl skipping rope, a horse drinking from a cool stream, a windmill blowing or an Italian knife juggler throwing his daggers into the air. Another innovation was
what were called “artificial fireworks,” around 1854. Lambert contends that they were an early forerunner to psychedelic images in the 1960s, as they look not unlike a moving kaleidoscope image. Education Lambert admits that the magic lantern shows as a form of entertainment predate “living memory,” which is why he has taken his show on the road to venues such as the Canada Science and Technology Muse-
um and Upper Canada Village, as well as more diverse places such as Cub Scout meetings and a film festival in Colorado. Lambert, who has a degree in theatre history, became really interested in the technology around 1982, when he bought his first projector (he also collects antique camera equipment). His first performance was in 1994. “It’s a great way of keeping history and stories alive,” he said.

Churches began to recognize the power that magic lantern shows held over their audiences, and realized that messages about Jesus and HIs power of salvation could be spread beyond the pulpit, and not just on Sundays. Of course, like many churches on Sunday morning, there was a plea to be generous when the collection plate went around, even during a churchsponsored magic lantern show.

Moving happy places
W
ay back in about 1990, as a Carleton University student, I remember going to a campus gym with two friends from residence. We thought, maybe, we’d get serious about workouts. (Spoiler alert: I didn’t.) That was my first visit to a gym and, as is the case pretty much any time I expose myself to something sporty, I felt awkward and goofy and didn’t really know what to do. All through my kid-hood I was tall and lean, but I would not classify myself as strong, fast or coordinated. I ran out of breath easily, I fumbled almost every ball that came my way and, no, despite my height I was not good at basketball. (I definitely do not take after my mother, who was into every sport and captain of many teams in her younger years.) That’s not to say I didn’t like sports. A bunch of us had a blast playing beach volleyball at Conlon Farm after working shifts at Burger King in the 1980s. I also remember being surprised by how much I enjoyed intramural floor hockey in high school. Nevertheless, I tended to migrate towards solitary things: walking (and eventually running), hiking, swimming and cycling (until I bounced my head off the road one day and got a little spooked). That first visit to a gym was actually my last, at least so far. “Not doing gyms” was just another consequence of my long-standing shyness about being sporty in public. If I’m not good at something, I’m not likely to demonstrate to you just how bad I am. That changed two years ago, when a friend convinced me to join Port Elmsley Karate. Martial arts weren’t even remotely on my radar and, given all the aforementioned hang-ups, actually stepping onto the mats and showing a whole room full of people just how uncoordinated I am was a huge big stinkin’ deal. But I did it and I’ve stuck with it and I’m so glad. Saturday, sadly, was our last class in our dojo (where we train) in Port Elmsley. The township is selling the old community hall where we held classes, so we’re moving to Perth – to share space with our Perth & District Martial Arts friends at the Perth Athletic Centre. It was an emotional day for sure. When I first started this adventure,

I was so nervous I thought I would throw up each time I drove to Port Elmsley. Then I would get there and the senseis and students made me feel so comfortable and they helped me to realize everyone starts off feeling awkward as they learn all the movements and techniques. I, however, am super awkward, and I remember feeling so frustrated with myself a few times that I wondered if I should quit. The atmosphere at that place, though, and the people who filled it, kept me coming back. I learned to not take myself quite so seriously. I also learned that the days when I felt the least like going to karate were the days when I needed it most, partly because of the physical benefits of training, but also because of the laughter and the socializing. I have never regretted going to a class, even when I was tired and frazzled. I vividly remember the thrill I felt (after the nerves) when I competed in my first tournament ever, just a few months after joining the club. A tournament! In front of judges and other students and spectators! Never in a million years did I see that coming. After a while, I managed to demonstrate enough knowledge to advance from being a white belt to a yellow belt. As hard as that grading was, I still think putting on the white belt was the hardest thing of all. While it’s true karate has made my body and mind stronger in many ways, the people at PEK have made me even stronger – the excellent senseis and my fellow students. Although we said goodbye to a home on the weekend, we were reminded that it’s just a building. Our Port Elmsley Karate family will still be together, and that’s what will make our new space a home. I will miss playing loud tunes on the drive to Port Elmsley. I will miss hearing the spring peepers after class and seeing the sunsets on the way home, but there will be new routines and memories in a new happy place with my PEK family. Hajime!

et’s take the show on the road. Well that seems to be the way things are going at Perth town hall these days. Now, democracy is always best when it is responsive to the grassroots. That’s why Perth town council, and town staff’s, recent run of field trips is so interesting. I’m wondering if I’m noticing a bit of a trend here. Too early to tell if it will be successful, but, so far, the strategy appears to be working. We’ve only seen two examples of the field trip in action so far this year - and for all I know, having only covered this council since 2012, it may have happened before - but the field trips seem to come at the tail end of a familiar pattern. Town staff appears ready, willing, and able, to move on some major project. Just sign on the dotted line here, council, and we’ll get to work. They have all the ducks in line, the
DESMOND DEVOY Des Says path marked out, it’s all good to go, with the best of intentions. It’s good to see that town staffers are eager beavers. Better that than the alternative. But when it comes to initiatives like the placement of the Conlon Farm garage, and the construction of the second rocky ramp dams, well, it turns out that there is a committed, and vocal, constituency, that wants to have a say on both matters. Back in June, community services director Shannon Baillon led a delegation of town councillors, and interested parties (i.e. representatives from Little League, the Friends of Conlon Farm) all over Conlon Farm’s

green acres to discuss where the new garage should be placed. My favourite quote from the afternoon spent traipsing around came from Frank McLean, chair of the recreation advisory committee, who said that finding a place to put a much-needed garage, should not be “rocket science.” It was on that trip that the very last spot seemed to present an “Ah-ha” moment - if I may quote Oprah, here for the entire group, as they beheld the ultimate compromise location, beside the Legion ball diamond’s Field of Dreams, near the pathway that links the farm to St. John Catholic High School.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Council should acknowledge tennis club for its contributions: reader
DEAR EDITOR,
I wish to respond to Desmond Devoy’s article in The Perth Courier of Aug. 24, ‘Perth Town council wanting to keep all tennis courts at Conlon Farm open to the public’. Numerous times, town employees and councillors have not listened to issues brought forward by members of the Perth Tay Tennis Club, or paid attention to several pieces of correspondence. Mayor Fenik asked if club courts one and two were deteriorating. Community services director, Shannon Baillon replied, “They are almost at that point right now.” Fenik said, “I hate to see something deteriorate within a facility we operate, the tennis courts are part of the infrastructure at Conlon Farm.” Tom Baumgartner, V.P. PTTC, assisted the town in writing the application for a Trillium Grant, in 2012. It was understood courts one and two would be reconstructed. However, the grant specified a facility available to everyone equally. It was determined courts three and four would work, but council further decided, instead of a five-year mandatory time frame to convert three and four to club full time rental courts, council extended it to 10 years. PTTC members are now asking council to rescind the 10 years to five, so a grant application can be made to reconstruct one and two before they become a liability. Considering how poorly three and four were reconstructed only five years ago, it is little wonder they also now need repairs. Coun. McPherson seems to have issue with

out to be time well spent. Seeing is believing, and it’s hard to argue with what’s in front of you. Now, the second field trip, to the Rainbow Bridge rocky ramp at the end of Thom Street, followed by a trip to the back yard of a Harvey Street resident, on Tuesday, Sept. 5, was also attended by council and town staff. Well, that was also an eye opener, but slightly less of a slam dunk. Residents were given their chance to have their say, to the engineers working on the project no less, and then, the engineers were given the green light to, essentially, do what they were going to do anyway, with a few aesthetic tweaks here and there. In this particular instance, though, it appears that the engineers were more than ready to listen. Form follows function, of course, and their chief duty, they said, was that the rocky ramps do what they are supposed to do, which appears to be the case at the Rainbow Bridge. Aesthetically, well, that’s up for debate, and residents were more than happy to debate it, with some valid concerns all around, with residents not wanting a “moonscape,” hoping instead for a “babbling brook,” to quote Coun.
courts one and two being locked and a group keeping tax payers from playing on all four courts, when the same group in his opinion, “does not pay the full shot.” PTTC could disband, but the town would lose $2,700 to $3,000 per year in fees paid by the club. Since 2012, the club has PAID to the town over $13,000. In my opinion, PTTC pays the ‘full shot’, even pays extra for lighting used for night games. The town, since 2012, has paid for three tennis nets, some fencing repairs caused by vandals and half the replacement cost for new net posts, PTTC paid the other half. The club, puts up and takes down, wind screens, including one side of courts three and four, pays extra when booking courts, three and four and charges members residing outside the three local communities extra, which goes directly to town coffers. PTTC maintains the courts, even sweeping after July 1st fireworks left huge amounts of debris on all four courts. Two major sweeps finally removed cardboard so all players, club and public, would not slip and endanger themselves. Common sense dictates PTTC rent courts three and four full time, to facilitate a Trillium Grant for reconstructing courts one and two, before insurance dictates they be closed. Westport and Carleton Place do not offer free courts to anyone. All players pay. Before councillors offer free courts to all and the town pays the ‘full shot’, maybe they should thank PTTC for its annual financial contributions. Let’s finally understand and move forward.
Terry Fox Run hits streets Sunday When Emery Vanderburgh was 17 years old, she was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer), which is the same cancer diagnosis Terry Fox had when he was that exact age. Now, four years later, Emery — who survived the cancer — will be honoured at this Sunday’s Terry Fox Run in Perth at Conlon Farm. Anyone who has experienced cancer is well aware that it is a family disease. When a child or parent is diagnosed with cancer, the family faces the challenges together. Emery is the daughter of Tony and Rhena Vanderburgh, who are the co-owners/trainers of Industry Fitness here in Perth. Taking place on Sept. 17, the annual Terry Fox Run will open registration from 8:45-10:15 a.m. with a 10:30 a.m. start time. There is no entry fee or minimum pledge and there is a family route, five-kilometre and 10-km route and participants can walk, run, cycle or blade. If anyone is a patient or survivor who has battled cancer and is participating in the Terry Fox Run, they can sign up for “Terry’s Team” at terryfox.org or contact the Finnegan Insurance office to receive a special complimentary
red shirt. There will also be a moon bounce, face painting, free barbecue, door prizes, silent auction and water stations at the event. Participants can preregister at http:// www.terryfox.ca/terryfoxCATHY JAMES run/perth or just come Sunday morning and register at Conlon Farm.

While our family lives in this neighbourhood, our home won’t see the direct impact of the build, unlike our neighbours living on Tysick.

Riq Turner. We can certainly all hope for more of the latter, and less of the former. For as eager as town staff can be, town residents - and this speaks well of Perth - can be just as eager. I wanted to attend at least the latter half of the walk-about on Tuesday, Sept. 5, about the rocky ramps. It was production day at the newspaper, so, I missed the scheduled 4 p.m. meet up on Thom Street, but thought I would easily make the 5 p.m. meeting on Harvey Street. I recognized two familiar rocky ramp residents walking down the road. I thought they were on their way to meet at the water tower. Nope. Heading back to the council chambers. Everyone, so a fellow member of the media told me, had been in place by 3:45 p.m., so, they began early. And she herself had arrived early for 4 p.m., only to be caught off guard by how committed these residents were. This strategy may not work in every situation. And council has to lead. Twice this past year, Mayor John Fenik and his councillors have gone against the advice of town staff. But allowing a bit of time and room to breathe, literally and figuratively, could prove cathartic to both sides, and allow some literal sun to shine on an issue. At the very least, it’s a healthy form of democracy.

Perth Royal Canadian Legion's Sgt-At-Arms Cruise goes awry for reader retires from OPP after 30 years of service LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
DEAR EDITOR,
My brother John and I joined the 350 passenger mid-size Aegean Odyssey Cruise Liner in Nice, France, in June for an excursion to ports in the French Riviera and Moorish Spain and a side trip to Tangier, Morocco. For the tour of Nice, France, John and I walked along the Promenade des Anglais along the seaside. I wondered why the iron-patterned posts with flared bottoms and round tops, about three feet high were being installed. This is where the terrorist in a truck killed 86 people in July 2016. In Marseilles, France, with 10 minutes before embarking, I had to photograph the cathedral in the huge square nearby. I returned 20 minutes late. Captain Roland Anderson spotted me at supper. “You were the guy who held the ship up! Next time you are intrigued by a cathedral, just say byebye.” It was payback in the port of Barcelona, Spain, on Sunday, June 11, where I was left behind. At a museum, I went to get a new audio guide. When I returned nobody was around. They made bus sweeps, but never checked inside. At closing, the lady at the counter called the police with the hope that they would take me to the ship terminal. A taxi driver who spoke little English drove me out to the railway station so I could catch a train to the ship. My backpack with the Barcelona agent’s emergency phone number was on the tour bus.

medications except for insulin pens, no toiletries, no Spanish and no cell phone. Luckily I found a quaint fourstorey hotel nearby; the big hotels were booked solid. I got half-frantic calls off to Canada to let people know of my predicament. Later that night, I found a store, whose owners were good to me and translated my printed English into Spanish. I got what I needed, but wasn’t quite sure about the return streets to my hotel. I asked a lady in the street and she gesticulated directions to my hotel. Rising at 5 a.m. a different front desk clerk enquired why I was going to the train station at this hour. He said there was a Canadian Consulate who could help me – and she was. My passport had been left at the consulate from the ship’s safety vault. After a chat with an administrator I soon boarded the train to Valencia. Two Honduran girls who overheard me trying unsuccessfully to speak with someone beside me on the train, said in English that they could help me. They were able to get me to my ship. What a welcome aboard ship, including raised eyebrows! They all kept a watchful eye on me in the unsafe city of Tangier, Morocco. My brother had a good laugh.

Groundbreaking heralds hopes for increased jobs, immigrant success story for Tay Valley Township
BY Desmond Devoy
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
AWD Contractors and their stablemate, Skyline Group, want to become the largest employer in Tay Valley Township. The companies, run by the British immigrant Ghinn family, put their money where their mouth is this past Friday, Sept. 8, with a groundbreaking ceremony to start construction on new office space, a lunch room, and a warehouse facility, with room for further expansion. Currently, there are about 20 office staff working on site, which management hopes to increase to 45. There is also a desire to hire more warehouse staff, once the expansion is complete. Coming to Canada, according to chief executive officer Peter Ghinn, “has been one of the greatest challenges of my life,” he said underneath overcast skies. He had invested in a sawmill, which went under during the financial crisis. Having come from a family-owned civil construction family business in Great Britain, founded by his own father in 1964, Peter Ghinn recognized that “we had to put some bread and butter on the table for our families and employees…(So) we returned to what we do best, civil construction.” Thus, AWD Contractors was born in Canada. In early 2014, they purchased the Skyline Group, which handles a variety of products: * Guardrail systems; * Fixed access ladders; * Temporary roof safety; and, * Custom fabrication. Now, they Skyline is “an industry leader
in this country.” Many of the Ghinn family work in the family business off of Highway 7, between Perth and Maberly, and so Peter’s son Aubrey Ghinn is the general manager. Aubrey explained that, for a long time, Skyline’s local operations were carried out in a rented building in Perth, while AWD operated in Tay Valley. Now, with this expansion, both companies can be “working together as a team,” he said, with his own British accent in evidence. Even at the Tay Valley site, this new building saw operations “scattered across this yard, in the buildings here,” said Aubrey. “Everyone will be under one roof,” save for the work shop, he added. This “will help with our team work and collaboration." By being all together on site, “hearing other people in the office,” will create a level of professional empathy, Aubrey said, so that co-workers can see when their fellow workers are “under pressure,” he said. Now, “we are eager to move forward,” said Aubrey. (He joked that, with the new lunchroom included in the plans, the ban on hot lunches for staff will soon be lifted.) Another improvement will be communications. Currently, they use their wireless tower on site to handle their computer and telephone needs. But they are working on running a dedicated Bell fibre line to the new building, to improve communications. Aubrey said the companies want to “grow the amount of jobs we can provide. We would like to become the number one employer in the area. It is important that both of our companies become recognized names in the community.” Immigrant success
While Peter Ghinn was born in Southampton, England, he was not the only immigrant involved in the expansion project. Engineer Tiago Caldas was born in the African nation of Angola to Portuguese parents. He then moved to Brazil where lived for 20 years, before coming to study at Queen’s University in Kingston, and staying on to live in Canada ever since. Caldas joked that when he was first approached, he had his usual thought: “Oh, new clients, awesome.” He knew that they were serious about their goals, telling him, “We have a plan.” In short time, “I immediately found out how geared up and focused (they were),” he said. With the freshly-turned brown earth beside him, white hard hats reflecting the overcast light, and shiny shovels at the ready, Caldas said that “this building signifies their (the Ghinn family) strength, their willingness to strive. This building is a testimony of their success.” This celebration of the expansion was echoed by Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier. “Thank you for choosing this area … as a home for your family,” said Hillier, and for “providing opportunities” for others, too. Hillier said that their desire to become the township’s leading employer was “a vision that will come true.” “It’s a pleasure to see growth happening,” he added. He noted that “we are standing on a property that was once a saw mill. (But) times change, things change. One thing we can always count on (is) the hard work, and resourcefulness of the people in our community. We look forward to the opening of many more buildings here.”

Second rocky ramp project given unanimous green light by Perth council BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
A trip down to the river bank cleared the air, and cleared the way, for construction on the second rocky ramp project to proceed later this month. “If passed, construction will commence immediately,” promised Mayor John Fenik at the start of the special town council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 5. The meeting came after a walking tour by town hall staff, councillors, and residents of areas near the site of the first rocky ramp, off of Thom Street, underneath the Rainbow Bridge, and the second rocky ramp site, just off of the end of Mill Street. Deputy Mayor John Gem-
mell said that there had been “great ideas by local residents,” that Matthew McCombs, water resources engineer, and Steve Braun, senior water resources engineer, both with Matrix Solutions Inc., were on hand to take note of. However, Gemmell noted that the project was tied up with “grant money we would like not to put off,” he said. Council voted to make Matrix the project manager on the second ramp project, meaning that council needed to approve a budget deviation of $23,962 for Matrix to take the project on. “If we vote this down, we don’t have a project management team,” said Fenik. “If we don’t, it’s an indication that there is no confidence in this

project.” “I am confident that they (Matrix) know what they are doing,” said Coun. Jim Boldt, though he did note that, after resident complaints about the esthetics of the first rocky ramp, “we all have our eyes open,” now, since that project didn’t turn out “as we had hoped.” “I have confidence in their knowledge base, but also their listening ability,” agreed Coun. Judy Brown. Following heavy flooding throughout eastern Ontario and western Quebec this past spring, the size of the boulders being considered “may look like overkill now, but we have to guard against a larger (flood) event,” said Brown. Coun. Jim Graff reminded
council that stones could be moved, meaning that a rocky ramp is not, if you’ll pardon the expression, set in stone. “There is tweaking that can be done (to a rocky ramp) in comparison to a cement dam where, when it’s done, it’s done,” said Graff. Engineers speak Braun and McCombs presented photos of previous rocky ramp projects they had worked on across the province, such as Davis Creek in Simcoe, and Spencer Creek in Hamilton. They stressed that functionality was their top priority, but that esthetics were important as well, and that they hoped that the second rocky ramp would turn out as successfully as their
similar Simcoe and Hamilton projects. “This will be much more along those lines,” said Braun. Fenik told council that once the copper dam is put in place, the “entire flow of the Tay,” will be go down the Little Tay through Stewart Park. Braun assured council that “I am sure we will have flood mitigation planning,” so that the park does not get flooded out, and that the plan would be “weather dependant,” he said. “We will do what we can to mitigate that (flooding).” The town’s environmental services director, Grant Machan, added that he had been in contact with Parks Canada about controlling the water levels on the Tay by way of the
dam at Bobs Lake. Fenik asked if partially deflating the copper dam to take some of the pressure off of the waterway could one solution should a major rain event take place — he was told that this was a possibility that could be considered. “This is a monumental decision of council,” said Fenik. “It will change the look of the river forever.” While he continued to have reservations about the second phase, “if it has to be fixed, it has to be fixed,” he said, but he will be “watching this project proceed very closely.” The motion to award Matrix the contract, and approve the budget deviation, was unanimously carried.

Growing up in a tuberculosis hospital The Perth and District Historical Society welcomes everyone to its meeting of Sept. 21, 2017, to hear about one of the most dreaded diseases of all time and the treatment that patients and their families endured. While Canada celebrates its 150th anniversary, we should appreciate the fact that our health care has improved dramatically over these past 150 years. Some deadly diseases have been virtually wiped out, and others are controlled to the extent that survival is expected. But, even with such strides, a disease that remains of great concern in Canada as well as worldwide is one that many of us believe was eliminated – tuberculosis. Known since early Greece, tuberculosis (aka TB, or Consumption or White Plague) was the leading cause of death in Canada in 1867. It is an infectious bacterial disease, which while more commonly found in the lungs, can also occur elsewhere in the body. It is a disease that has killed the ordinary equally with the famous: Anne and Emily Bronte, D. H. Lawrence, Vivien Leigh, Eleanor Roosevelt to name a few. It took until the mid 1900s to bring the disease under control in Canada with the discovery of an effective drug therapy. However, in recent years, TB has continued in certain communities, such as First Nations as well as those with high immigrant populations especially from a number of developing countries. It remains one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Anne Raina, this month’s speaker, and the recipient of the Canadian Lung Association’s Heather Crowe Award in 2014, knows personally about the ravages of TB, and shares concerns with health care professionals of complacency
towards it. Anne Raina is the youngest of ten children. Her father and seven of her siblings spent years in the Royal Ottawa Sanatorium (The San) for the treatment of TB during the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s. Her father entered the San when she was six, and died shortly after she turned eight; her eldest brother, John, died of the disease at age 18; her youngest brother, Billy, died at age four of tuberculosis meningitis. Anne’s sister, Clara, entered the San in 1939 at age 12, and was discharged in 1952, age 26. As she was growing up in the San, Clara kept a diary of her life and treatments, and it is this diary that is the basis for the book, Clara’s Rib. Anne was born in Ottawa’s Billings Bridge area, attended school in Kemptville, and has lived in Ottawa since then. She and husband, Grant Cameron, spend as much time as possible at their four-season cottage on Black Lake near Perth. Anne has two children, Kelly Anne McGahey in Ottawa and Mark McGahey in Perth, and a stepson, Stefan Cameron, in California. Anne is in demand as a speaker to TB conferences, schools, historical societies, and other community groups, and to first year medical students at Ottawa University. She recently published four children’s books, including The Kangaroo with the Wooden Shoe, and is working on her mother’s biography. She is a member of the Ottawa Story Spinners who publish a book of short stories each year, now working on their series’ sixth book, entitled The Black Lake Chronicles.

the experienced dancer. We welcome newcomers to the group — men and women, singles or couples, regardless of experience or level of dancing ability. Bring your sense of fun, combined with enjoyment of rhythm and music. Current members of the group come from Perth and the surrounding area. The classes are held regularly Friday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at McMartin House, 125 Gore St. E., Perth in the up-
stairs boardroom. It is under the programs run by the Perth and District Senior Craft Fellowship. All that is required are soft, flexible shoes or dance slippers, plus payment of the annual McMartin House/Perth and District Senior Craft Fellowship membership fee.

Royal Canadian Legion
Branch 244 Perth is celebrating
LEGION WEEK SEPTEMBER 17TH - 23RD, 2017 and regimental associations representing former service members were created. Despite their shared goals, efforts were fragmented and unsuccessful.
President’s Message “The Royal Canadian Legion has a long history of proudly supporting Veterans. When the First World War came to an end, numerous Veterans groups
An appeal for unity led to the formation of the Dominion Veterans Alliance and, in Winnipeg in 1925, the Legion was founded as “The Canadian Legion of the British Empire Services League.” It was incorporated by a special Act of Parliament and the Charter was issued in July 1926. On December 19, 1960, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II gave her consent to use the prefix ‘Royal’, and the organization became known as ‘The Royal Canadian Legion.” The Act of Incorporation was later amended in 1961 to make the change official.
The Legion’s initial main objective was to provide a strong voice for First World War Veterans. However, the advent of the Second World War created a host of new demands. The Legion expanded to offer more dedicated support to Veterans, as well as those serving abroad. Today, the Legion continues to improve the lives of Veterans, including serving Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP, and their families. This has been our principal objective since our inception and we will continue to work for it today and every day forward. It’s our duty.”

Blue Wings off to positive CCHL2 start, despite pair of losses BY LAURIE WEIR
ljweir@metroland.com
The Perth Blue Wings junior hockey team is off to a great start this season, despite a pair of losses in the opening showcase weekend. Perth lost a 5-0 battle to the defending champions, the Casselman Vikings, and was held to just one goal against Winchester, 4-1. Jacob Cover had the lone goal from the weekend, which came sandwiched in the middle of the second period from Dylan Sharpley and Marc-Andre LeBlanc.
Owner/head coach Michael McLean said he was pleased with the overall effort from the showcase weekend, however, they “simply could not score against Winchester with 65 shots on goal and only one goal to show for it.” McLean said he “was very proud” of the team’s performance against the four-time CCHL2 League Champion Casselman Vikings in game one of the showcase. “We had 13 players in our lineup playing their very first junior game,” he said, “and we worked extremely hard and were not intimidated by
the more experienced Vikings. In fact we had various chances to score early and often – hitting three crossbars in the game and having a goal that video showed was in the net – overturned and disallowed.” Regardless, McLean said the team competed for a full 60 minutes and had a great show against the best team in the CCHL2; a team that has 13 20-year-old vets in the lineup. Creating rebounds was the difficulty on Sunday night when they faced Winchester, a game in which the Blue Wings had a huge 65 shots on net.
Kidney Walk comes to Perth
“Most shots were easily seen by their goaltender and we need to compete harder in from of their net for rebounds to score,” McLean said. There were many bright spots over the weekend. “The Leadership from our new 18-year old Captain Mack Miler was outstanding,” McLean noted. “Assistant captain Marc-Andre LeBlanc also had a very strong weekend. We have the core leadership in place to reload this team for years to come.” McLean said the team’s goal this season is to create a winning culture based on professionalism and strong work ethic. “For many players, they are adjusting to the speed and intensity of this level of hockey,” he said. “We want to focus on our own conference and compete for a playoff position in the Richardson Conference.” For that to happen, McLean said
they will need to improve each and every week and do a solid job of coaching and teaching, and above all else, “be patient and play our young players.” “It is the only way they will improve and gain experience,” he said. Friday night the Blue Wings will have their home opener and as per recent tradition, they will be honouring all of their graduating players on the red carpet prior to opening faceoff. “Many of these players played on both of our back-to-back Richardson Conference championship regular season teams,” he said. The Blue Wings will take on the Brockville Tikis, a young, highlyskilled team, “like us,” McLean said, “so it will be very entertaining fans who promise to pack the arena Friday night.” Game time is 7:30 p.m. Saturday, the team is in Char-Lan for an 8 p.m. start.

From Highlands to Highlands: Lanark Scottish dancers dance with the best in Scotland BY DESMOND DEVOY
desmond.devoy@metroland.com
Two Lanark dancers have returned from Scotland having danced their best in the homeland of Scottish dancing. Jaclyn Stewart, 14, and Charlotte Stewart, 12, who both attend St. John Catholic High School in Perth, competed in three championship competitions. •Bute Highland Games, Rothesay, Scotland (Aug. 19):
Charlotte was the fourth runnerup here, and Jaclyn placed seventh over all. •Commonwealth Championships, Albert Halls, Stirling, Scotland (Aug. 21): Charlotte again placed as the fourth runner-up, and Jacylyn was the champion for her age group. •World Championships, Dunoon, Scotland, at the Cowal Highland Gathering (Aug. 24 to 26): Charlotte ended up seventh overall in the 12-year-old group, while Jaclyn was the fourth runner up.
At the world championships, there were more than 900 dancers from all over the world vying to qualify for the finals, “where only 60 dancers get through. Dancers dance in single age groups (age 12, 13, 14, etc.). If the groups have more than 50 dancers, they were required to re-dance any dance they received a placing in,” wrote their mother Lori in an email to this newspaper on Sunday, Sept. 10. Charlotte re-danced two dances, while Jaclyn re-danced the Highland Fling.
The girls were dancing in front of judges from around the world, including South Africa, Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, and the United States. In an emailed statement, Jaclyn said, “I was not expecting to place so well in Scotland, and especially at the world championships. It was an amazing group of competitions that I feel very lucky to have attended. I am very proud of how my sister Charlotte and I placed in Scotland.” Charlotte was quoted as saying that “I am very proud of how

Photo right, Jacylyn Stewart holds her trophy for her fourthrunner-up placing at the World Championships, Dunoon, Scotland, at the Cowal Highland Gathering, held from Aug. 24-26, 2017.
I danced and am more motivated than ever to work my hardest to achieve higher things.” The girls dance with the Rosemary Breman School of Dance in Carleton Place. Lori added that while they were criss-crossing Scotland, “we tried to get to Lanark and Perth in
Scotland, but ran out of time. We did see the Forth of Clyde, from a number of different areas. The views and countryside were spectacular.” They also visited numerous castles and Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, as well as the capital city, Edinburgh.
