Five day trial expected Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Despite negotiations in the judge’s chambers, the Crown and defence attorneys in the Richard Nightingale sexual assault case were unable to agree to a trial date.

The trio, which included Crown attorney Julie Scott and defence lawyer Mark Ertel, met in chambers at the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth on Thursday, Oct. 1, in the hopes of settling on a court date. However, that decision will now be made in court on Tuesday, Nov. 17 in assignment court at 10

a.m.

Court heard that it is estimated that a trial could take up to five days.

Nightingale, a registered nurse, was charged with sexual assault on Jan. 10, 2014.

It is alleged that, while working at his Lanark County Mental Health office at the Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, he allegedly sexually assaulted a 33-year-old woman.

The case is covered by a publication ban and the allegations have not been proved in court.

Spartans massacre Pembroke Fellowes

Ralph Kerribjn has his eyes set on the end zone as he runs the ball in for a touch down during an Oct. 2 game in Perth. The Spartans nailed a number of touch down plays like Kerribjn’s, effectively shutting out the Pembroke Fellowes with a 70-0 win.

Back in 1887 there were only 19 phones in Perth – now, the town is set to become the seventh community in Canada to get “gigabit” fibre infrastructure.

In fact, if you live south of the Tay Canal in Perth, you’re likely already enjoying the faster download speed which, the company says, can allow a viewer to download a two hour, hi definition movie in about 33 seconds.

The town is following in the footsteps of big cities like Vancouver and Toronto, as well as Quebec City and Kitchener, Ont., with this new infrastructure. There are only seven communities throughout Canada, and only 40 or so in North America.

“Why Perth?” asked Steve Lynn, president and general manager of WTC Communications, during an interview after the announcement at the Crystal Palace on Monday, Oct. 5. Part of the reason was that there was already existing infrastructure, so, “we were building on what we had…some of the foundation

was already there.”

It was also a strategic move on the part of the company, as part of its long-term planning.

“We just thought it would be (to) our competitive advantage over the big guys,” Lynn said. “They are not offering this service in Perth.”

He took exception that, when customers saw the cables being laid in the ground, they “thought it was Bell Canada that was putting it in,” and that, as such, WTC was simply a “re-seller,” which was part of the reason for the press conference, to set the record straight.

The company is spending “northward of” $5 million, starting about two years ago, to install a fibre-optic network through town. The Gigabit fibre technology will see Perth move from the average connection of 16 Mbps to speeds of up to 1,000 Mbps.

“We’ve got customers on (the system) now,” said Lynn.

“As we drill it in and get it spliced,” the customers in that part of town are getting faster internet speeds. “We’re See INTERNET page P2

AWARD WINNING Black River Cheese Company FINE ARTISAN CHEESE Sets New Record Having won numerous awards over the past 114 years, including at the Canadian Grand Prix Cheese Competition, the company is no stranger to awards but this was a new company record.

With such a prestigious number of 1st place awards at the Belleville Fall Fair’s Annual Cheese Competition, General Manager and Master Cheese Maker, Doug Peters commented, “Our success at this regional event attests to our company and staff’s dedication to produce cheese that sets the highest standard when it comes to great tasting, quality fine cheese. I’m proud to be spearheading such a great team and we look forward to future competitions that will allow us to showcase

“We’re all on the same page,” Warden Dave Gordon said following her presentation. Council unanimously passed the resolution.

Asphalt quality concerns spur letter to ministry The Ministry of Transportation will be receiving a letter from counties council urging the minister to take immediate action to improve the quality standard of asphalt cement in Ontario.

Counties council passed its resolution which shows support of an Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus position paper on deteriorating asphalt cement quality. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) is also asking the provincial government to become involved. “It’s costing all of our municipalities’ money,” Warden Dave Gordon said, adding in some cases roads are only lasting two years.

In the past, roads could have a 20-year lifespan but this has dropped to 10-15 years or less.

Warden Gordon said because the product is unregulated, some of the materials are unhealthy and unreliable but are being used on public roads.

Resolution on Provincial Offences Act Counties council passed a

resolution asking the Ministry of the Attorney General to phase in increases in cost recovery rates for court adjudication services and enforcing the Act’s transfer agreement for Jan. 1, 2016. The resolution also asks the ministry to increase court costs and late fees to help offset the rise. These fees have not increased since 2009.

The ministry plans to increase the Provincial Offences Act (POA) cost recovery rates from $200 to $300 per in-court hour. It also plans to increase the enforcing and monitoring of the POA Transfer Agreement cost recovery from a 50/50 cost sharing to full cost recovery for the delivery of these services. Both increases are to be effective Jan. 1, 2016.

Council’s resolution states the increases will impact the net POA revenue received by the United Counties, the City of Brockville, and the Towns of Gananoque and Prescott. A copy of the letter will also be sent to the Ministry of the Attorney General, the Municipal Court Managers Association, the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus, the City of Brockville, and the Towns of Gananoque and Prescott.

PICTON, ON - It’s the season of Fall Fairs and competitions and, this year, The Black River Cheese Company is setting a new level of achievement and standard for great cheese.

Winning in three categories for its Mild, Medium and 2 Year Aged Cheddars, its Marble cheese (a combination of cheddar and mozzarella), as well as in the Variety Cheese category with its Mozzarella, the company set its newest record of 1st place ribbons for any one event. In fact, the ºcompany not only won first place wins for its cheese, but also for Best Display as well as for Best Finished cheese and being the Highest Scoring participant in the event - no small feat.

The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council meeting held on Thursday, Sept.

24.

The United Counties are joining a growing number of municipalities opposing the privatization of Hydro One by the Province of Ontario.

Counties council became the 137th municipality in Ontario to pass a resolution asking the Province to “immediately stop” the sale and commit to keeping Hydro One as a public asset for the benefit of all Ontarians. The resolution is also asking the province to respect the autonomy of local distribution companies and their decision making powers by not forcing these companies into mergers or sales.

Members heard a delegation from Athens resident Rhonda Ferguson, who is part of a citizen’s coalition opposed to the sale.

“It’s a public asset and it needs to remain a public asset,” Ferguson said. She noted studies have shown when hydro has been privatized in Canada and other parts of the world, the costs have gone up. In Quebec and Manitoba, where public systems have been maintained, rates for electricity remain lower, she said.

With the forthcoming, renowned Royal Winter Agricultural Fair in November, it will not be long before the company has another opportunity to win further recognition and

more awards. As Doug Peters adds, “Our company is looking forward to the challenge of maintaining our competitive edge in this event’s annual, National Cheese Competition.”

Judging by its growing recognition across Ontario for its extensive selection of specialty

cheese, fine cheddars and mozzarellas by both consumers and retailers alike, The Black River Cheese Company is definitely raising the bar when it comes to award-winning, fine artisan cheese in the highly competitive Canadian cheese industry.

Scott Reid: Man about the house Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Editor’s note: This is the final installment in a series of LanarkFrontenac-Kingston candidate profiles running in the weeks leading up to the federal election Oct. 19.

Scott Reid is standing in his dining room, barefoot, in shorts, reciting, from memory, the opening lines of the poem popularly known as “The Night Before Christmas.”

He is particularly excited about these lines: “Away to the window I flew like a flash/Tore open the shutter and threw up the sash.”

As a child, the lines had always puzzled him. Now, stand-

ing before his historic Perth home’s dining room windows, he points to his very own shutters and sashes.

The Conservative Party candidate for the new riding of LanarkFrontenac-Kingston, was in the midst of a tour of his Perth home near Stewart Park on Wednesday, Sept. 9. Obviously house-proud of the home he has settled into with Robin, his new wife, whom he married in the hallway this past winter, and her son, Ryan, 12, this is also an auspicious day to meet.

Queen Victoria began her 64year reign in 1837 – the same year Reid’s new house was built.

Later that very afternoon, Queen Elizabeth II would overtake Victoria as Great Britain’s longest-

reigning monarch, and Robin and Scott were hosting several Queen’s Jubilee Medal winners for an English tea.

When not reciting American poetry, our interview began in Reid’s workout room, where he has mastered the art of healthy multi-tasking: “You can walk and type at the same time,” he says proudly, pointing to his treadmill, which has been re-fashioned with a simple board across the handlebars, functioning as a desk he can sit his laptop computer on.

He has a similar one at his Parliament Hill office in Ottawa.

However, once he hits two miles per hour – it is an American machine, after all – “You can See REID page 4

still read, but you can’t type.” Slow and steady.

The house was built for John Haggart, who had worked on the Rideau Canal. He settled in Perth and bought the grist mill across the street. John was a confirmed bachelor into his 50s, when he married a younger woman, Isabella.

The couple had a son, also named John, and Haggart served as the mayor of Perth and was the second MP for Lanark South (echoes from both Reid’s life and that of his NDP rival, John Fenik.)

“I did not learn any of this until after I bought the house,” said Reid, now standing in the great hallway. In 2003, after his time at Queen’s Park ended, Ontario’s former Lieutenant Governor, James K. Bartleman, moved into the house with his wife, and the Reid family moved in about a year ago.

“You can feel all of the people who were here,” he says, including both John Haggart senior and junior, who literally left their marks on the place – more specifically, their signatures, scrawled into the windows, both upstairs and downstairs.

Long political trail The Architectural Digest portion of our interview concluded, we adjourn to the kitchen for tea out of fine china cups, borrowed for that afternoon’s toast to the Queen. (Interestingly, Reid abhors sugar, seldom partaking. “I’m a complete sugar abstainer,” he said.)

The conversation, now moved to the sunroom, the newest addition to the house, also moves from the political to the personal.

On Monday, Oct. 19, he will leave this house with his wife, with Reid wearing his Canada Maple Leaf tartan kilt.

“You only want to wear a tartan that, under the rules, you are permitted to wear,” he explained. “Reids are Robertsons,” in terms of clans. (He even has a Lanark Highlands tartan tie he wears on occasion.)

Amongst the few non-family guests at their wedding was Mark Seabrook, an Ojibwe artist from Manitoulin Island, friend to both Robin and Scott.

Seabrook’s wife was the official, and Seabrook himself took pictures. Robin’s friend Adam also played guitar, and Robin walked down the stairs in her wedding dress towards the waiting guests. (Robin was friends with one of Reid’s employees, which is how they met.)

Reid can read a poll as well as any politician, and this year’s race is certainly looking to be a tough one for a Conservative incumbent government. Only one prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, a Liberal, has ever been elected to a fourth consecutive mandate, in 1908, and no Conservative has ever equaled that.

Henderson sisters help kick off United Way’s fundraising campaign forever fans,” said another, who pressed a golf shirt into Brooke’s hands to sign.

“Thank you so much,” she said, then busied herself at inscribing her name just under the logo on the golf shirt.

One fan unloaded a shopping bag full of Faces magazines for Brooke to sign… but not just with her autograph.

“Can you put, ‘I HEART Golf’ then sign it?” he asked. “Could you maybe do that on all of them?”

Brooke just smiled and obliged the man’s request.

Smiths Falls golfing sisters, Brooke and Brittany Henderson made their way from the links where they played a round of golf today, to Mike Fair’s Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac dealership for the United Way Lanark County’s fundraising campaign kickoff.

“It’s a great cause, and does a lot of good for people in the community,” Brooke said of the United Way. “We’re really honoured to be here today.”

The girls signed autographs, giving away signed players’ cards to their fans.

The lineup to see the girls was steady for the first hour of their 4 to 7 p.m. appearance.

“We’re home for a couple weeks,” Brooke said, while scribbling her name on a Ping golf hat. She flipped it to her sister to do the same.

Then they’re back on the links in some upcoming tournaments, and possibly looking for a place to live south of the border.

Do you have a place in Florida?

“Not yet, but we may be looking soon,” Brooke said.

The girls smiled for many fan appreciation photos, and thanked everyone for their support. They were genuine in their sincerity and generous with their time.

United Way is an important charity for Fair, as they have been participating in payroll deductions for the past five years.

“As a reward to those employees who have the payroll deductions, they get to dress down,” she said. “So they get a little bit of something back…a casual day.”

Fifth annual Merrickville’s Jazz Fest unfolds Oct. 15 to 18 akulp@perfprint.ca

Enjoy an authentic jazz experience in a variety of venues as Merrickville’s Jazz Fest (MJF) puts the swing into the village for its fifth year Oct. 15 to 18.

Eighteen musicians from Toronto, Ottawa-Gatineau and the local area will take over Merrickville during the festival, which continues to grow in popularity each year.

“We had over 65 applications for the festival this year and last year we had 50,” noted MJF director Peggy Holloway. “What’s interesting is that they (musicians) are coming from further afield.” “...It’s fantastic and so thrilling that it’s growing the way it has,” she added. “It’s satisfying.”

The selection committee reviewed applications from the end of May until July, when they came up with the

final list, a lineup Holloway calls a “wonderful crosssection of different types of jazz” including Latin and jazz fusion as well as traditional.

What’s unique about MJF is the way it’s formatted. Music enthusiasts can experience jazz in a number of different settings: local restaurants, churches or the community centre. Each offers something special, Holloway said, and the schedule has been co-ordinated so visitors can attend all 17 shows over the four days. “...Musicians seem to have embraced it wholeheartedly.

They want to come. There’s something magic about festivals to people who like to be together playing their music,” Holloway said, who plans to go to all the shows and encourages others to do so as well. A festival pass which provides access to all 17 events, is $75, day passes are available for $45, or single

event tickets can be purchased for $20 each. Tickets are available online at www.merrickvillesjazzfest. com or in the village at The Knock Knock Shoppe or Merrickville Book Emporium.

“This is a great deal. These are groups that would normally cost

you a lot more,” Holloway indicated.

This year’s venues include the Baldachin Inn ballroom, Merrickville Community Centre, St. Ann Catholic Church, Merrickville United Church, Holy Trinity Anglican Church, as well as the Goose &

Gridiron Restaurant & Pub. “It’s a cultural event, to have the buildings used in Merrickville and to be able to use the churches and show the (Baldachin Inn) ballroom, it’s a gorgeous venue to show,” Holloway remarked. “...And the restaurant venues are nearly full

right now.”

Those interested in attending performances at the Goose & Gridiron or Baldachin, should call the restaurant ahead to reserve seating.

When Stella Horan’s husband retired in 2003, the couple considered volunteering to fill their time. In discussions with Canadian Cancer Society volunteers in Johnstown, where the Horan’s then lived, they learned about the importance of the volunteerdriver program, which transports clients to cancer treatments and cancer related appointments at hospitals from Ottawa to Kingston to Toronto, and various points between.

The couple began driving for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville community office of the Canadian Cancer Society in 2003, and continued until Stella’s husband died of cancer in 2010. That didn’t stop her, nor did a recent move to Cardinal, as she still drives clients regularly to hospitals in Ottawa, Kingston and Winchester.

Horan said her dedication to the volunteer-driver program is simple: “They need to get there,” she noted.

She also enjoys driving, and easily fills her time during client appointments by either waiting at the hospital during shorter visits or running errands during longer treatments.

Transportation Service The Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope helps more than 119 clients throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville. Last year, the society’s volunteer drivers drove 292,524 kilometres, with each trip costing an average of just more than $60 due to the long distances travelled in eastern Ontario.

The average cost of providing service to someone in our community through treatment is $840. In 2014 the society provided support to 18 families who have a child with cancer through the Family Transportation Service.

New patients who register with Wheels of Hope will be required to pay a one-time $100 registration fee. Children 18-years-old or under will not be charged. If you are unable to pay the full registration fee, you may be offered assistance through our compassionate program which will be determined during the intake process.

We are committed to ensuring that no patient is denied a ride due to their inability to pay the entire registration fee.

If you would like to help get a local cancer patient to their canAbout the Wheels of Hope cer treatments you can donate

Over the years, she said, she has known at least half of the clients she has driven to appointments, and she has gotten to know others as she drives them to multiple appointments. She has lived in the Johnstown-Cardinal area her whole life and finds she is now driving people whose relatives she drove in past years.

Horan has driven hundreds of people of all ages, and says some clients want to talk during the drives, which she welcomes.

“We have good conversations,” she explained. She drove a man recently from Cardinal who mentioned his mother-inlaw, and it turned out Horan had driven her husband to several appointments 10 years ago.

“We talk about whatever they want to talk about,” she said. “If they want to sleep, that’s fine too.”

“You take your cues from them,” she added. “Some people might want to be quiet.”

Horan said she would recommend the volunteer-driver experience to anyone who asked. She plans to keep going as long as she can, since she knows the routes and knows that she is helping people who need it.

Saying goodbye to a friend

he Ottawa Valley lost an icon on Oct. 1.

Max Keeping was a reporter, a news anchor and he came into thousands of homes every weeknight across Ottawa and eastern Ontario on CJOH, later CTV Ottawa.

But he was more than that.

He could have lived a 9-to-5 life and headed home after the cameras shut down at the end of each newscast. But he was more than willing to do much more.

Keeping knew he was considered a friend to his viewers.

He could have capitalized on that by appearing in commercial advertisements but he made the choice to put full his effort into helping those less fortunate. Keeping backed charities across the region – notably CHEO – encouraging viewers to help too, all in that familiar, calm tone of voice.

Who could fail to respond when a friend asked for help?

So Keeping was iconic. But he was more because he was not just a celebrity seeking more fame and more notoriety. He saw that

kind of opportunity existed but made a conscious decision to take a pass because kids, seniors and so many others might benefit from his connection with TV viewers.

An example that touched our reporting staff: one cold winter’s night in 2003, Keeping drove straight from his newscast to the old bingo hall on Merivale Road, arriving minutes after 7 p.m. simply because he’d been asked to help out. He arrived to call out the final bingo numbers as one lucky player won a new car.

It was all for charity of course.

And the connection this area felt with Keeping was on display for all. As he walked in the room and gave his familiar wave, he received a standing ovation from the packed house.

He was good for the region and the region knew it. He lived life to the max.

The greatest tribute anyone can pay to Keeping’s lifelong support of charities is to make sure the efforts continue. If you were inspired by Keeping and his mantra: do something to make a difference in another’s life.

Max, you will be missed.

Drama ensues over drawing that vanishes into ‘thin air’ Emerson was raging mad. He was thumping around the kitchen, arms waving, and his face was the colour of his flaming red hair. “It was right there, I tell ya,” he said, stabbing his finger on top of a pile of notepaper. “I accidentally folded down a corner of the sheet, and I put it into this stack of papers to smooth it out and I haven’t touched it since. Someone has deliberately taken it out of there and it sure wasn’t me.”

It had darkened enough that night in late September, that Mother had lit the coal oil lamps and one sat at either end of the old pine table.

Latest natural history series lecture to tackle pesticides and pollinators

Enquirer and paste them into her scrap book, and Everett and Earl kept right on doing what they were doing.

Finally, Mother suggested he start at the top of the pile of papers and work his way to the bottom, just in case that particular sheet somehow got tucked into the stack. Emerson said he had done that and the drawing was gone. “Gone, I tell you! Gone!

And when I find out who took it out of this pile (and he pounded the stack again for good measure) he’ll pay dearly.”

The evening was wearing on,

the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) based in southern France. FarmForest Research was established by Dr. Coupland in 1991 in Montpellier, France, and combines a broad technical and practical understanding of agriculture, biology, ecology, and entomology (the study of insects). The core area of the company’s expertise lies in delivering solutions for invasive species of insects and as such, it is a leading authority on Integrated Pest Management including the use of biological control

systems (biopesticides).

Many of our naturally special places are being degraded by pollutants, including pesticides. Our waterways and water pastures, especially, are increasingly threatened by runoff from towns and farms, with pesticides delivering a ‘knock-out blow’ in some of these areas. In Dr. Coupland’s words “Our Naturally Special Places are under threat and the inhabitants therein are especially under threat”.

The talk will focus on the threats to pollinators living within these special places. Pollinators are com-

and my fingers were stiff from holding the needle and the embroidery cotton trying desperately to master the French knot, which as far as I was concerned was a lost cause. I knew I would never be as clever as my sister Audrey, and trying to teach me the fine art of embroidery was a complete waste of her time.

I forced a yawn and asked my sister if we could put the embroidery away, and maybe take a look through the brand new Eaton’s catalogue, which had just come.

It was sitting on the top of the ice box, and this time of year I spent many a happy hour going through the thick catalogue working my

way from the corsets in the front, right through to the cream separators in the back.

Audrey brought it to the table, put it in front of me, and told me to start wherever I wanted.

I decided to flip to the Christmas section...toys...candies... girls’ pretty clothes. Well! What I found, smack in the middle of the catalogue was Emerson’s missing drawing!!! There it was, as large as life. Emerson saw it at the same time. He slapped his forehead, his face turned even redder if that was possible. And in a voice barely heard, admitted to putting it in the middle of Eaton’s catalogue to straighten out the page that had a

corner fold.

Gentle Earl demanded an apology, Everett put a wad of paper wet with spit in his new sling shot and hit Emerson dead on, Father said a swear word in German, Audrey rolled her eyes and Mother closed her scrap book, let out a long sigh, and ordered us all to bed.

Another exciting night at Northcote had come to an end.

Pat Trew – community pillar and recipe guru - remembered Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Pat Trew was her own person.

She lived life to the beat of her own tune; in an unassuming and content manner – all the while getting the job done, without complaints or hesitation.

“She knew what she wanted in life,” said Jeff Trew, her husband of 47 years. “She just went ahead and did things in life. She never shied away from hard work.

She was very focused in that respect.”

Jeff and Pat, who grew up in Smiths Falls, met at Carleton University, where she was living in the women’s dorm and he the men’s. Their first meeting occurred during negotiations for the distribution of laundry funds between their respective associations, of which they both acted as treasurer.

“There was just something about her,” said Jeff. “The Commerce Club used to go out drinking and I remember going out and not enjoying it too much.

I returned home and went for a walk. Pat was out walking too and we coincidently ran into each other. It was a foggy night and she appeared out of the fog. I just knew something was right.”

She was studying journalism at the time, followed by an MA in history. They married in 1968.

“She started working for the federal government in 1969, in a junior position,” said Jeff. “She gradually rose through the ranks.

She worked with the Canada Revenue Agency, where she was a director for a number of years, working closely with the Minister’s office.”

They lived in Ottawa for five years, before buying a parcel of land in Montague in 1975 and building their forever home.

He said Pat was an animal lover and the type of person geared towards giving back.

Over the years, she wore many hats – past president of the Lanark County Community Living Association, the first woman councillor of Montague Township, deputy reeve of Montague Township and member of Lanark County council, member of the Rideau Valley District Health Council, chairperson of the Smiths Falls-Montague Airport Commission, publicist for the Merrickville District Chamber of Commerce and member and treasurer of the Merrickville District Community Health Centre Board of Directors. She was also a small business owner in Merrickville – of Larkspur Line and ‘Harmony,’ a women’s clothing store – and author, publishing two successful cookbooks and a food column for the EMC (now Metroland Media).

“For all the time I knew her, there was never a harsh word,” said Jeff. “She was a very gentle person.”

He said she enjoyed being a councillor – conducting herself always in a way that promoted feminism, without ever setting out to do so.

“She was very thorough and good at assessing situations and finding solutions,” said Jeff. “She treated people fairly.”

Pat left the federal government after suffering a concussion while riding a horse. She began working full-time at the business she started with Jeff, selling model railroad products, and also grew more active in the community.

She, a self-taught cook – with thousands of recipes she developed herself. She shared her recipes, which were respected for their simplicity of ingredi-

Pat Trew ents and personal touch, through a food column she penned for roughly 30 years.

“She did that up until she got sick, about three years ago,” said Jeff, who has meticulously organized records of all her recipes at home. “When I first met Pat, she could boil water and make fudge; that was it. Once she got into cooking, she began experimenting.”

After the first six months of writing her column, The Record News experienced a change of ownership, and Pat’s column was removed, he said.

“There was a public outcry for people who loved her recipes,” said Jeff. “They called her up and asked her if she would start writing her column again.”

In 1984, she put together her first cookbook, titled ‘Doesn’t have to be Gourmet to be Good,’ which sold 22,000 copies. Volume two, which was published two years later, sold 18,000.

“What people liked about her cookbooks was she put in

personal stuff,” said Jeff. “Citing herself, myself or her father.

Cooking tips with a personal flare. People could identify with her.”

Three years ago, in June 2012, Pat and Jeff were given the devastating news that she had stage four lung cancer.

“She was given about eight weeks to live,” said Jeff. “It was a very difficult time for us. Pat has always been a very positive person. She just looked at it as another project. The whole time she was sick, I never heard her complain. It was remarkable.”

Following acceptance to a clinical trial, comparing two drugs’ effectiveness – Tarceva and Afatinib – Pat showed signs of improvement over the next nine months. Her cancer shrunk considerably. Then, a CAT scan revealed her cancer had mutated.

She was dropped from the trial and proceeded with intravenous chemotherapy, which stabilized the cancer.

At the end, Pat’s body had begun to shut down – her mind clouded by a chemical fog, which affected her ability to speak, memory and motor skills.

Eventually, she fell into a coma. Pat passed away peacefully at the Smiths Falls site of

the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital on Sept. 18, at the age of 69.

“I am grateful for the extra time I got with her,” said Jeff.

Gary Doyle, Reeve of Montague Township for 15 years up to 2006, worked closely with Pat during the time she served as deputy reeve.

“She was a very personable individual,” said Doyle. “Excellent to work with.”

Pat always gave 100 per cent, he said.

“She was a gentle person,” said Doyle. “If someone had an issue, she would try to resolve it.

Of course, you can’t solve every problem, but she got everyone an answer.”

Pat was a well-respected member of the community, he noted.

“She was always very prepared at the council table,” said Doyle. “She was never confrontational.”

The council at the time was as progressive as possible, under the circumstances, he commented, and Pat was a big part of that push forward.

“She was dedicated,” said Doyle, who mentioned her time as a food columnist spanning 30 years. “It takes a very special

T r e n d s Magazine

person to stick with something for 30 years.”

Pat was always a fighter – battling cancer for as long as she did, he reflected.

“She never gave up,” said Doyle.

Heather Wilson served on the Merrickville & District Community Health Centre board with Pat for years.

“She played an incredibly important role in that position,” said Wilson. “She was very competent. It was very reassuring having Pat there to discuss things with.”

Pat had a strong, rational side and a creative, nurturing side, she explained.

“It was certainly a wonderful combination,” said Wilson. “It was wonderful to work with her.

She was very gracious.”

The way Pat supported her community was truly incredible, she noted.

“She was a horse woman,” said Wilson. “When you saw her with a horse…she was the next thing to a horse whisperer.”

Pat was always pleasant to be with, even when faced with stressful situations, she commented.

“She will be missed,” said Wilson.

Kilmainham Jail mirrors dark side of Irish history pendence were once imprisoned within its high, thick walls.

How many executions were carried out there is uncertain due to inaccurate record keeping. Our guide told us more than 120 people are believed to have been executed inside while many more were hanged just outside the prison gates or on “Gallows Hill” close to Kilmainham.

Easter Rising Among those executed inside the jail were some of the key personalities from the Easter Rising of 1916, an event which led to the Irish War of Independence (a guerrilla war fought from 1919-1921).

In 1916, between May 3-12, 14 men convicted for their roles in the Easter Rising, which took place mainly in Dublin City, were executed by firing squad in the prison stone-breaker’s yard.

Our tour guide, a young lady with a wealth of knowledge about the jail and its most famous inmates, pointed to a simple black cross which now marks the place of execution.

In the early 19th century people convicted of murder and robbery with violence were hanged in public from gallows erected in front of Kilmainham.

The last public execution took place in 1865. Many prisoners also died of disease and illness which was rampant due to the dark, dank, crowded conditions the incarcerated were forced to tolerate. There was no heat and in winter the cold, damp Irish winds blew into the small, windowless cells through bars set high in the wall.

The last women to be executed at Kilmainham were 21-year-old Bridget Ennis and Bridget Butterly, 19, servant girls who were hanged in May of 1821 after confessing to the beating death of another young woman. For many years the prison population included a large percentage of women. In 1881 it became an all-male institution.

In the original prison building we were given a first-hand look at the tiny cells, narrow stone passageways and steep stone staircases, worn in the centre following the passage of countless

Kathy and I also read about one particular hanging which, despite the fact the condemned man had confessed to murder, still tugged at our heart strings.

eventually led to independence from Britain, although Northern Ireland remains a province of the UK to this day.

The very last prisoner in Kilmainham was Eamon de Valera who was released in 1924. He later became Taoiseach (Prime Minister) and President of Ireland.

For Kathy and I the worst part of the tour was hearing about the appalling conditions under which prisoners were forced to live. In the old section prisoners were not segregated. Five people were housed in a cell just 28 metres in size. The only light and heat came from a single candle and candles were expected to last two weeks. Women in particular were very poorly treated something that ran counter to the general attitude in Ireland at the time.

Little wonder Kilmainham is often referred to as “Ireland’s Bastille.”

The prison was abandoned for more than 100 years and fell into neglect. In 1960 the volunteer Kilmainham Gaol Restoration Society was formed and preservation efforts began. Voluntary work lasted for 30 years until the jail was handed over to the government in 1986.

Today Kilmainham Gaol stands as a monument to Irish nationalism. It receives large numbers of visitors from around the world. Movie watchers will be interested to know the prison has served as a location for such wellknown films as Michael Collins (starring Liam Neeson as the Irish patriot and revolutionary), In the Name of the Father (starring Daniel Day-Lewis) as well as The Italian Job, The Mackintosh Man and many others.

Kilmainham Gaol provides a mirror to the dark side of Ireland’s very interesting history.

Back at the hotel we met Darren in the lobby. I thanked him for his recommendation.

“Well, look at it this way sir. At least they didn’t keep ya!”

We had just arrived in London from Dublin and as we enjoyed dinner, at what is undoubtedly our favourite restaurant in England, I asked Kathleen what she found most interesting during our week-long stay in the Republic of Ireland.

Kathy didn’t hesitate! “Kilmainham Jail,” she replied.

My wife immediately qualified her answer. “…not the most enjoyable thing we did there. The most interesting.”

I couldn’t possibly disagree.

Something we aim to do on each successive trip to Europe is to see different places and explore more aspects of the countries we visit, with an emphasis on history. Obviously some places are more than worthy of a second look.

There are some experiences or destinations we never tire of repeating.

As we were leaving the hotel on our first full day in Ireland our helpful concierge Darren hailed us.

“So, what are ya doin’ today folks?”

I told him we were taking a hop-on, hop-off bus tour and would pick out some historic places we had not seen during our previous visits to the island.

“Kilmainham Gaol. It’s on the tour.

Don’t miss it,” Darren stressed.

“The history of Ireland is tied up in that place,” he continued. “Ya have to see it.”

Later in the day his words rang in our ears when the driver announced the Kilmainham Gaol stop as the bus circled busy Dublin. The word “Gaol” by the way is an English and Irish variant of the word “jail” or “prison.”

One look at the long queue convinced us to give it a miss, at least that day. For various reasons, including some misinformation and a brief flood which hit the former prison (a broken water main), it was three days before we toured the former prison.

The word “forbidding” seems inadequate when trying to describe the building, a stone structure that resembles a medieval fortress.

Opened in 1796 as the County Gaol for Dublin, Kilmainham has a dark but intriguing history. Everyone from small children caught stealing to the key figures from the struggle for Irish inde-

lot to bring positive attention to the Town of Smiths Falls.

“Unfortunately, for many years, (the town) has been portrayed negatively because of job losses, factories closing… but this is positive thing today.”

And the Henderson sisters are a huge part of that positive atmosphere shining through.

Fair said the dealership is also a big supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, which falls under the umbrella of the United Way. When Fair learned that Brooke and Brittany would do a guest appearance, she said she was thrilled.

“Because they are such strong ambassadors for young people, we were thrilled to have them here to support Big Brothers and Big Sisters, (the United Way in general),” Fair said.

By attracting local youth both from town and Lanark County, Fair said kids could then “meet these incredible young ladies…show them what they can do with hard work and having goal in life, they will go far. These two are shining examples of that.”

Fair said they are also great examples of the community getting behind them to show support.

“That’s what I do like about a small town,” she said. “You get to know who everyone is, and when someone is down, somebody else is there to pick you up.”

Fair tries unsuccessfully to keep emotion from her voice when speaking of her father, Mike Fair, who died just eight months ago.

“I keep thinking of my dad, and all that he did for the community,” she said.

“You want to live up to the name ‘Fair’ and be fair to everybody that you can.”

Shortly before her father died, Fair remembered talking to him about their level of involvement with the Hendersons’ Pro-Am golf tournament last spring.

“It became a huge deal, and I wish he had been there…it would have been nice for him to play with Brooke that day. That was a bonus. I had no idea we’d be golfing with her.”

She said she was feeling the nerves that day last spring when the sisters brought their Canadian women’s tour to their hometown golf course, the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club.

“We had fun…to have a business in this town, you’re very fortunate. I lead a privileged life and I count my blessings every day.”

Fair said she’s committed to supporting the Henderson sisters and their ProAm next year.

“We’re committed to community support and to the charity,” she said.

There’s also a Big Brothers Big Sisters connection for the Fair family.

Fair said she wasn’t involved in programming of Big Brothers Big Sisters growing up, but her younger sister, Wendy Lee, was a big sister.

“Wendy was a big sister for many years…she’s still in touch with her little sister.”

Fair said she didn’t get into it herself, but her sister thoroughly enjoyed the experience of being a big sister.

As part of the meet and greet, in conjunction with General Motors, Mike Fair’s also held its annual Drive for the Cause fundraising event, during which GM contributed $25 for each vehicle test driven, and Fair matched the contribution. The community also had a chance to enjoy a charity barbecue, play some fun golf games, and enter a draw for a trip, all courtesy of the dealership.

For the United Way, the eight-week campaign to kick start their fundraising efforts started with the annual flagraising ceremony at the Lanark County municipal office in Perth last week.

“We’re hoping to raise enough funds this year to support 8,500 people,” said Helen McIntosh, chair of the United Way. “Events like this one at Mike Fair’s is an opportunity to meet some great sports athletes and that’s a good reason

Schedule Kicking off the festival on Thursday, Oct. 15 at 7:30 p.m. is the sponsor appreciation and opening ceremonies in the Baldachin Inn ballroom. Open to all who have tickets or a pass to the festival, Pembroke’s New Orleans Express will be performing and complimentary wine (Joseph’s Estate Winery), beer (Ashton Brewing Company and Steam Whistle Brewery) and hors d’oeuvres provided by the Baldachin, will be on offer.

The first full day of music takes place Friday, Oct. 16 at 3 p.m. with the Carlos Alberto Santana Jazz Trio at St. Ann Catholic Church, followed by the Jazz CO-OP at Merrickville United Church at 4:30 p.m.

At 6 p.m., Steve Berndt featuring Brian Browne on piano, will take over the Baldachin Inn ballroom. Holloway said Browne, who was the ‘artist in residence’ at last year’s jazz fest, has appeared all four years.

“They (Berndt and Browne) are really performing outstandingly in Ottawa right now,” she noted.

At 7:30 p.m., Holy Trinity Anglican Church will be the site for The Tritones, while Angele & the Swingin’ Devils finish up Friday evening at 9 p.m. at the Goose & Gridiron. This group is famed for their jazz interpretations of bands including Led Zeppelin, the Jackson 5 and Marvin Gaye.

The music starts at noon on Saturday, Oct. 17, beginning with a double bill at the Merrickville Community Centre featuring Horizon Quintet and Miguel de Armas Quartet (performing at 1:30 p.m.). A boxed lunch will be available for purchase at the community centre during these performances.

“The acoustics in the community centre are really good and it’s the perfect place for some of our groups to perform,” Holloway commented.

Diane White will be at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church at 3:30 p.m.; followed

by Snaggle at 5:30 p.m. at the Goose & Gridiron.

“Snaggle is six young people from Toronto who are all studying music and they’re getting a lot of attention,” Holloway said. “The thing that’s exciting is that they’re so young and appeal to a new generation.”

Alex Pangman & Her Al-

leycats will perform at the Baldachin Inn ballroom Saturday evening. CBC Radio refers to Toronto’s Pangman as “Canada’s Sweetheart of Swing,”. Doreen Smith Trio closing out the evening downstairs at the Baldachin, in the restaurant, at 9:30 p.m.

The final day, Sunday, Oct. 18, kicks off at the Baldachin Inn Restaurant with Ottawa Valley’s Sax Appeal. St. Ann Catholic Church will be the venue for Terminal Baggage Claim at 1:30 p.m.; and at 3 p.m., Toronto-based modern jazz specialists, the Allison Au Quartet will entertain at the Merrickville United Church.

The Dominique Forest Duo take over the Baldachin Inn Restaurant at 5 p.m. before the final event of the festival, a double bill upstairs in the ballroom. Richard Page’s Night on the Town Band kicks things off at 7 p.m., followed by Toronto-based Fern Lindzon Jazz Trio at 8 p.m.

“Fern is a very classy and sophisticated singer,” Holloway said.

Holloway is particularly excited about the talent to be found in many of the jazz groups this year. “There are several groups that have senior Ottawa jazz musicians in them that we’ve never had before. They are getting together and playing their own compositions together,” she said. “The Jazz CO-OP on Friday night at Richard Page on Sunday night are examples of the composite groups of musicians that are playing all over the place.”

Over the past four years, new sponsorship and added support has allowed the festival to grow, which opened up more doors to attract a wider group of musicians, but that can also present obstacles, which the committee will need to explore further.

“The growth of it (festival) is challenging and we’ll reassess after this year how much we will continue to grow in this way,” Holloway commented. “I think it has value as a local festival...”

“But every year it’s so exciting and as we grow, we have a few more resources,” she continued.

Volunteers have been valuable assets as well and Holloway said more are always needed. “There’s friendliness and hospitality in Merrickville. The volunteers have made a huge difference...they show up and are really enthusiastic,” she said.

Holloway encourages returning and first-time visitors

• Get written estimates from at least three contractors.

• Never accept an estimate over the phone or without the contractor inspecting the area • Remember that good contractors ask a lot of questions so they can understand and plan out the project. For example, in driveway paving, they should ask if any heavy vehicles will be parked on the driveway.

• Don’t go for a deal that sounds too good to be true.

From left: musicians Paul Joyce, Ted Hunt, Alan Temple, Paul Roach and Chris Cook, collectively known as The Shambles, will play rock & roll favourites in support of breast cancer research, with special guest Teresa Scott, Oct. 24 at the Perth legion hall.

The Shambles are coming with great music for great cause Oct. 24 October is breast cancer awareness month, and for Perth-based rock & roll band The Shambles, it’s an opportunity to put their music to work for a cause that really matters.

Saturday, Oct. 24, The Shambles are headlining a dance and silent auction event at the Perth Legion hall, and using the power of Elvis, the Beatles, Roy Orbison, the Eagles and many others to raise funds for breast cancer research. Drummer Paul Roach, bassist Chris Cook, guitarist/keyboardist Alan Temple, guitarist Ted Hunt and singer Paul Joyce, along with guest performer Teresa Scott – well known for her easy listening favourites – will wear out your dancing shoes in support of this great cause.

In addition to raising money for research, Shambles founder Paul Roach says that money raised will also aid Wheels of Hope, another important program that supports breast cancer patients.

“A friend of ours who is a breast cancer survivor told us about the vital work that Wheels of Hope does, providing transportation for cancer patients to medical appointments. It’s neighbours helping neighbours, so money raised for this program will stay right here in our community.”

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 23 - Thursday, October 8, 2015

Merchants in Perth have rallied behind the musical fundraiser, donating literally thousands of dollars worth of door prizes and silent auction items for the dance, everything from restaurant gift cards to rounds of golf and gift baskets. In all, more than 60 different Perth businesses have joined the cause.

“It’s incredible how many merchants and individuals in our town have embraced this event,” says singer Paul Joyce. “Literally everyone we approached made a donation of products or services, so if you come out on Oct. 24 there’s a great chance you’ll go home with more than just a good feeling!”

Since all aspects of the dance have been donated, including the band and the Legion hall, every penny raised will go to the Perth office of the Canadian Cancer Society.

At just $20 each or $35 per couple, this fundraiser is the hottest ticket in town. Get yours at Tickets Please and Shadowfax in Perth, or call 613-3260218 for tickets and details. And don’t miss a night of music, dancing and prizes with The Shambles and Teresa Scott in support of breast cancer research and the Wheels of Hope program, Saturday, Oct. 24, 8 p.m. at the Perth legion hall.

It’s great music for a great cause.

UCDSB approves 2015 special education plan Trustees approved the 2015 special education plan Sept. 9, a blueprint for how the Upper Canada District School Board will run its special education program this year.

The 51-page plan provides the public with a range of details on everything from how placements are handled to staffing levels, said Valerie Allen, superintendent of program.

Allen told trustees the program will see a slight decrease in staffing to address changes in government funding, but with minimal impact on service to students and their families.

This year, the equivalent of 580 staff (full-time equivalent) will deliver programming including 338 school-based educational assistants, 10 special

education teachers for the Section 23 program, 92 elementary learning resource coaches, 57 secondary learning resource coaches, 10 speech language assistants, and 8 itinerant student support workers.

“The staffing reflected in the report shows minimal impact in the area of school and classroom special education teachers and a consistent level of educational assistant support within our schools,” Allen said.

The report outlines several other aspects of the special education program including: • A board philosophy toward special education that values all students and focuses on early intervention to help struggling students succeed.

• Information about the types

of student issues or “exceptionalities” addressed through the program including learning disabilities, language impairment, and physical disabilities, as well as giftedness.

• The role of the identification, placement and review committee which is responsible for determining if a student is exceptional, the appropriate special education placement, and how parents can appeal a decision should they disagree with it.

• A focus on professional development for special education staff including in-house training under the guidance of learning resource coaches and special education staff, professional conferences, and training related to assistive technology.

(Attention Cheryl) DEADLINE IS THURSDAY BY NOON

A feast is guaranteed at REAL’s local foods harvest dinner REAL is changing up its fifth big fundraising dinner this year, guaranteeing the same fabulous feast of local foods that guests have come to expect.

This year, REAL is partnering with the new Two Rivers Food Hub, its manager and Chef Bruce Enloe (who owns the famous Branch restaurant in Kemptville), the Gallipeau Centre and, of course, many local food suppliers, to present its dinner Saturday, Oct. 17.

Guests at REAL’s dinner have come to rely on having an assortment of appetizers, three options for mains that include one vegetarian, one fairly standard meat and one introduction to something that most people most likely have not tried. “Two years ago we had goat curry, which people absolutely loved, and last year we had bison bourguignon and we had to buy out the last of the bison in eastern Ontario,” said Shawn Merriman, president of REAL. The dinner comes from Lanark and Leeds counties and is gluten-free.

As well as local vegetables, and dessert, the dinner will conclude with its

signature chocolate.

REAL’s last two dinners were held at the Smiths Falls Curling Club and catered by Chef Jo Edwards from The Cove in Westport.

Merriman said, “With the new Food Hub, whose development we have long supported, we had the opportunity to change up a bunch of things for our guests, and to have more guests join us.

Last year, we sold out and couldn’t accommodate any more people. This year we should have enough room.”

Another change is the location. The dinner will be in the Ballroom at the Gallipeau Centre, and guests are being offered the opportunity to take a tour of the Two Rivers Food Hub before going to dinner. Chef Bruce will also step out of the kitchen for 10 minutes to explain to guests why the Food Hub is so important to the development of local food in the region and what makes this Food Hub unique in Ontario.

In the Ballroom, they will be able to enjoy Ontario wines and beers while viewing and bidding on the extensive si-

lent suction. REAL has a wonderful selection of donations from various businesses and individuals in its auction, but it also has some specially selected items that donors have contributed to the REAL Deal Reuse Store over the year.

“Last year, we had some 60 items,” said auction coordinator and REAL Board Director Donna McKenna. This year, the silent auction is being enlarged with more donated services, artwork and hand-made items.

Yet another change this year is in the entertainment. For the past two years, REAL enjoyed a partnership with the Smiths Falls Community Theatre that put on a dinner theatre mystery. This year, REAL will feature some musicians throughout the evening.

This event is REAL’s largest fundraiser of the year. The 26-year-old organization relies on the funds raised through its dinner and sponsorships to fund all those background expenses like insurance, phones, internet and utilities that any organization needs these days.

Thirty local businesses and individu-

als have regularly sponsored REAL’s dinner in the past and the organization hopes they will again this year. If you would like to donate an item to the Silent Auction, contact Donna at 613-2832254 or The REAL Deal Reuse Store at 613-283-7999.

Tickets are $60, payable by cash or cheque, and are available at The REAL Deal Reuse Store, at Modern Thymes

Celebrating a milestone birthday drives home that timing is everything Timing is everything. Those of our clan who could gathered, from hours in multiple directions away this week in celebration of my dear mother’s 90th birthday at my folks place outside Orillia, how ironic the day before, a US federal judge ruled the song ‘Happy Birthday to You’ is of the public domain, and, that Warner/Chappell, who’ve been reaping millions each year selling its use since they acquired the rights in 1988 should never have been doing so.

Even more ironic was the variety of ways this infamous song was sung to mom a day later, as if the “freeing” of the ‘Happy Birthday’ song was being exercised and celebrated too. Like when my kids were growing up and computers, the Internet, cell phones and global visual communications were their norm, for my mom, phone technology had just always been part of her life. Mom grew up always having a phone, even on their Bruce Peninsula farm and, with family spread around the province and the US, phones were vital to keep the clan connected. Back then, in the late ‘20s and ‘30s, the new fangled contraption (the phone) started to ‘shrink’ our world, incredibly speeding up communication from person to person, a marvel back then, just like today’s cell phones are for me. Previous to phones in my mother’s day, those connections were maintained much slower by letters, the then schooltaught penmanship lessons as proof of their importance. Folks had the oppor-

tunity to show their creativity via the flourishing verbiage of hand-written letters, delivered world-wide, often taking extended periods of time for delivery.

Good and bad news came via letters, then later telephone wires, just like now.

Two groups of people made good use of this “dated” technology to wish my Mom greetings on her special day.

One of Perth’s local institutions, a downtown gathering place of sorts, where “soles” are saved, infinite fibs and fact-filled stories are shared – you know, one of those places you invariably feel cheerier leaving than when you went in – has carried on a tradition of sorts, making me mom feel pretty special, via the infamous phone.

About ten years ago, the sweet souls who work “saving soles” had occasion to meet my mom when I took her into their inner hearth while she was visiting.

Since then, the jovial ringleader, Dennis Marks and staff of Mark’s Cobbler Shop have occasionally, over the years since, called, got mom on her home phone and, via a choir of whomever is lucky enough to be in the store or in their ‘hot stove lounge’, would chant the now legally ‘free’ song, Happy Birthday. Each time they did so, it touched my mom that these kind people of Perth would take time out of their busy days to sing to her the most world-widely familiar, four-line stanza on her birthday.

This week though, while I was away at my folks, one of my cronies went in on

the day to ask them to, yet again, bestow their harmonious chorus in celebration of her 90 but, alas, was presented with a potential impasse in that choir director Dennis was not there. Luckily, when staff heard who it was for, they remembered the joy of singing to her before so took it upon themselves to phone Dennis at home. Being the great lad he is, he phoned mom directly and, joined by his far better half Margaret, maintained the tradition and serenaded mom beautifully to her appreciative ears. His actions also made this scribe feel a huge sense of gratitude fill his heart as one of those unheralded, yet vital parts of his adopted hometown’s inner sanctum would honour him by repeatedly regaling special greetings on his mom. I felt accepted and humbled to have the great friends who care.

Thanks to my far better half’s coordination back in Perth, mom also was serenaded by phone when the Wednesday Jam gang from O’Reilly’s Ale House hosted by Dave Balfour; with Jamey Campbell, the incredible fiddle of Johnny Richard, Joe Skuce on drums

and the whole room adding to the mix sang yet again that magic song. What an awesome sound that came through the phone to again, left both my mother and I feeling pretty special.

As I started by saying, timing is everything and old technology, combined with caring friends made a 90-year young mom feel pretty good.

MOVIE: The Intern STARRING: Anne Hathaway, Robert De Niro, Rene Russo, Anders Holm, Zach Pearlman, Christina Scherer, and Adam Devine DIRECTOR: Nancy Meyres RATING: PG Films like The Intern are like good comfort food. They’re soft and warm. They’re great to share with someone, and in the end they leave you with that good warm feeling.

Ben (Robert De Niro) is a 70-year-old widower. He’s a retiree that has run out of things to do. He wants and he needs something meaningful to keep him busy. Then one day he sees a flier for an internet company looking for senior interns. Apparently it’s the latest thing. Why have a young intern who doesn’t know anything when you can get a senior with a wealth of life experience?

Actually that makes a lot of sense.

Ben sends in his video application. He aces the interview, and he gets hired. Ben impresses everyone so much he ends up working directly with the boss. Jules (Anne Hathaway) started the company, and is very hands-on. She looks after

My Take

Mark haskins

everything, but she’s so busy she’s having trouble staying on top of it all. Currently her investors are wondering if she needs to hire a CEO to shoulder some of the load. That would mean the new CEO would effectively be Jules’ boss.

This is not an easy choice for Jules. Her marriage and family are suffering because of her work, but this is her company.

No one can do what she does.

Fortunately she has Ben. Ben, with his strength of character, and the wisdom that comes from a life lived, becomes the calm at the centre of Jules’ storm.

He becomes her friend when she needs one the most.

The Intern is a pure delight.

This is a quiet film about how old school charm and class has more than a few things to teach a younger generation. It’s beautifully written. It’s funny, and it’s emotional, but it very carefully paces itself. The hu-

mour keeps you smiling. The emotional scenes touch you deeply, but are never a matter of life and death. This is a light film, and is even more enjoyable because of that.

The Intern relies heavily on the charm of its cast. Rene Russo, Anders Holm, Zach Pearlman, Christina Scherer, and Adam Devine are a great supporting cast.

They’re funny when they need to be, they’re serious when it matters, but most of all they make the two leads look good.

Truthfully though this film is nothing without its two lead stars. If this film stared anyone other than Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro I’m not sure anyone would even know The Intern exists.

It’s a fine film, but it’s the interaction between Hathaway and De Niro that is the real draw. They’re the kind of actors who can be in anything and make it shine, and together they’re brilliant.

The Intern is a light, funny and touching film. The perfect thing to see on a dreary, cold fall day.

Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

There are a number of things to consider when buying winter tires Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

ers avoid equipping their winter tire/rim packages with tire pressure sensors due to costs. But consider that your factory tire pressure sensing system is a safety system. You can save money by bypassing your vehicle manufacturer and going with the original maker of just about every tire pressure sensor on the planet, Schrader. Schrader sensors can range in price from $30-$60 each for most mainstream vehicles.

Don’t forget about insurance discounts: Many drivers balk at the cost of winter tires but if you drive on snow tires you’re saving the wear on your summer units. When you factor in insurance premium discounts for winter tire use (and several of the big firms offer them) there really isn’t any extra cost for winter tires but there is a wealth of improved driving safety.

Be wary of advertised specials: The biggest tire sale special is the ‘Buy 3 Get 1 Free’ deal. But often the fine print tells you that you must pay MSRP for those three tires or that certain sizes or manufacturers are excluded. Most tire retailers put a lower mark-up on tires compared to other automotive parts and often their regular price for four is cheaper than MSRP for three. And there are no restrictions.

Consider tire storage: Many shops offer seasonal tire storage at reasonable rates. They do this because it brings you and your auto back to their store season after season. When you consider that the average mounted passenger or light truck tire can weigh in excess of 70 lb. each (not to mention the space they take up in your garage or basement), you may want to take them up on the offer.

Don’t forget about buying used: Almost every time a consumer buys a new or newer vehicle, they find that the winter tire/rim package they had for their old one won’t fit their new ride. That’s why online classified ads are filled with

used tires and rims for sale (often for less than half the cost of new). Be cautious about claims that they will fit your vehicle. Either take the time to get the measurements and specs on what you need or come prepared to dry-fit one on your vehicle before making the purchase.

Like death and taxes, the approach of winter brings a third inevitability: snow-covered roads. Thankfully a large portion of our driving population has realized the necessity of winter tires, making everyone’s commute that much safer. As for the rest, well that’s what ditches and tow trucks are for. But buying winter tires doesn’t necessarily have to mean breaking the bank.

Optional tire sizing: If your ride is equipped with 18” or larger tires (or has low profile tires) you can be excused for reaching for some heart medication when you get a quote for winter tires. These increasingly popular larger tires can be very expensive to buy, but in many cases there are alternatives.

Check with your local retailer regarding the option of moving down to a smaller tire. Many models with large wheels can accommodate smaller rims and tires but it’s important to check before you buy to avoid the headache of finding out after the fact that the rims won’t fit.

The second benefit for a smaller tire is a narrower tread face. Most original equipment larger diameter tires have equally wide treads. These are great for summer driving on dry pavement, but in snow or slush they become skis providing precious little traction.

Winter rims: If you don’t have a separate set of winter rims you’re faced with the cost of dismounting the summer tires and remounting and balancing the winters twice a year. The average price on this is around $20 each wheel or $160 per year. It also brings the risk of damage to both the rim and tire. With a set of winter rims you’re only looking at the equivalent cost of a tire rotation twice a year for about $50 total. So you can save more than $100 each year with winter rims and eliminate the risk of damaging your summer alloy wheels (not to mention saving them from salt pitting).

When looking for winter rims, avoid multi-fit units that are designed to fit several different vehicles. Many universal-fit rims require spacer-plates or hubrings to make them mount properly and often require the use of special wheel nuts. A direct-fit or hub-centric rim often costs only a few dollars more and can avoid a lot of headaches and costs.

Tire pressure sensors: Many consum-

Darlene Robinson of Fall River, Nova Scotia, writes: “Hi Bill. My husband Greg has a Canadian-built 1935 Dodge Brothers pickup truck and we were wondering if you know of any other Canadian-built Dodge Brothers vehicles of this era still existing in Canada?”

I replied by saying the best way to find out if any other vehicles like theirs are still around is to send me the story of theirs.

I will run it in my column and invite our readers to contact us if they have or know of any similar vehicles.

The very next day, they sent me the story of their truck: “Bill: We are sending a picture of what the truck looked like two years ago when we bought it but it has since been dismantled for restoration. We bought the truck from its second owner, a relative of the original owner in Cape Breton.

“It was only later that we discovered it was built in Windsor, #214 of 460 produced that year. It is a half-year model, a first series produced for only a few months with suicide doors (opening from the front). The truck was bought new in Sydney, Nova Scotia, and stayed on Cape Breton Island. The original owner used it as a company vehicle for installing telephone lines when roads on the northern part of the Cabot Trail were being built.

“We have the 1939 permit for the truck along with the original owner’s 1939 driver’s licence and a Dodge Broth-

ers (Canada) Limited original owner’s manual. We know the truck is rare and special, maybe one of a kind.”

While we wait for readers to respond, let’s look at the two brothers who started it all.

John and Horace Dodge began as early as 1900 in Windsor, Ontario, by supplying car companies with engines and other parts. They moved to Detroit in 1901 and one of their biggest customers was Henry Ford!

In November 1914, the Dodge brothers began building rugged and reliable Dodge

Brothers cars (the name was shortened to Dodge after 1938).

The brothers became very wealthy, but right at the peak of their fame, they both died within a few months of each another in 1920. Eight years later, Walter Chrysler bought the Dodge Company, still part of Chrysler today.

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, P.O. Box 255, 25 John Street, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

Everyone whose story is published in my column receives a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Creationist road show presents theory to Franktown students Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

Even creationists believe that The Holy Bible is not a science book.

But it is there that creationists diverge from scientists.

“The bible isn’t a science book,” admitted Gus Olsthoorn, during a presentation entitled “What About Dinosaurs,” at Calvary Christian Academy, Franktown on Friday, Sept. 25. “You need to look at the Bible as a history book. It doesn’t tell us how the earth was made. It tells us how He (God) made the earth.”

Montreal-based Olsthoorn was making a presentation to the students at the school as part of a wider trip to the area, which included stops at the First Baptist Church in Perth, the Calvary Baptist Church in Smiths Falls, and the Lanark Baptist Church in Lanark village. Olsthoorn, a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer for 39 years, is a member of Creation Ministries International. He is also a founding member of the Creation Science Association of Quebec.

The group, he told the assembled students, had PhD scientists as members, who were seeking “to help Christians deal with questions about evolution.”

Olsthoorn is certainly not a devotee of prevailing scientific thought.

“People may have seen dinosaurs in the not-too-distant past,” he added. “They may have seen what we called dragons.”

Carvings of what certainly look like dinosaurs have been found in jade carvings in China from 2000 BC, or in cylindrical carvings from Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq), and even at Angkor Wat, in an 800-year-old carving at the famous Cambodian holy site. Even Italian explorer Marco Polo, in his wanderings around

Asia, described seeing “huge serpents”.

Using the King James version of the Bible, which was first printed in 1611, he noted that the Bible does not use the word dinosaur – as it was not first used until 1841 by Richard Owen, so, other terms would have been used to describe what we now know as dinosaurs.

Turning to scripture, Olsthoorn made reference to Job 40: 15-19, which described a “behemoth” who “eateth grass

like as an ox,” had great strength, and “moveth his tail like a cedar.”

He alluded to the scientific belief that the world was created millions of years ago, but, as a Christian, felt that “scientifically, that doesn’t work out…with the Bible or science.”

In an email exchange with this newspaper Monday, Oct. 5, Dr. Hillary Maddin, a Banting post-doctoral fellow at Carleton University’s Department of

Earth Sciences, wrote that the Great Extinction occurred “65 million years ago,” when “non-avian dinosaurs disappear from the fossil record.”

Jordan Mallon, Ph. D., a research scientist in palaeobiology at the Canadian Museum of Nature, in another Oct. 5 email exchange, wrote that the earth is “thought to be 4.5 billion-years-old, based on established radiometric dating techniques. The universe itself is 13.8 billion-years-old.”

Because all we have to go on with regards to dinosaurs rests on what we can glean from their bones, there are many things we do not know about them.

“We don’t even know what colour their skin was,” Olsthoorn said. “All we have left are their bones.”

He attempted to reconcile one of the first, most well-known stories of the Bible, the flood that lifted Noah’s ark, as being the flood that may have wiped out the dinosaurs.

“It was only four-and-a-half thousand years ago, the flood,” said Olsthoorn.

In answer to this reporter’s question about how science believes the dinosaurs died out, Jordan replied that “science doesn’t ‘believe’ anything. But it supports the sudden extinction of the nonavian dinosaurs via a catastrophic meteor impact. One lineage of dinosaurs [the birds] managed to survive this extinction and thrived afterwards.”

This great extinction, he added, likely occurred about 66 million years ago.

Some Christians believe that the earth was created in six days – and that God rested on the seventh. On the fourth day, it is believed that the sun was created, along with the stars. But even here, Olsthoorn admits that there is a seeming contradiction. “Well, the sun came first,

(We will be closed Sunday & Monday for Thanksgiving)

before the plants were created,” he said.

“That’s what it tells us in the Bible.”

How could plant life exist without sunlight? To this, Olsthoorn answered: “Certainly, the plants can live one day without the sun.”

He contended that, on the sixth day, mankind was created – as were dinosaurs.

“These things died out a short time ago, not millions of years ago,” he said.

Maddin however dismissed this, writing that “there is no evidence of co-existence between (non-avian) dinosaurs and humans. Humans appear in the fossil record many millions of years later than the last known dinosaurs.”

Jordan agreed with Maddin, writing that: “There is no evidence that non-avian dinosaurs co-existed alongside humans (but birds do, obviously).”

Olsthoorn said that the Bible does not describe how God made the universe, but Jordan put forward a “mechanistic explanation,” for the creation of the earth, whereby the earth “came together through accretion of the solar nebula. In short, this is a process whereby debris left over from the creation of the solar system comes together through gravitational attraction.”

The Encyclopedia Britannica, also places the age of the earth as being much older than Olsthoorn’s assertion.

“It is widely accepted by both geologists and astronomers that earth is roughly 4.6 billion-years-old,” the online edition says.

Olsthoorn referred to the Bible again (Genesis 1:30) to back up his assertion that the dinosaurs were in fact all plant eaters, and did not begin eating meat unSee CREATION page P4

hooking up customers.”

Another reason for the upgrade is because “more things will be put up into the cloud… (and) you will need the bandwidth and the speed to go out and get it.” iCloud is essentially a server where documents and items can be stored and then retrieved virtually anywhere there is Wifi.

The company has finished laying its lines south of the Tay Canal, with the second stage, from the water to the railway tracks due to be completed around the end of November.

The third phase will go from the railway tracks northward, and will likely be finished by the end of 2016.

During his opening comments, Lynn pointed out that “businesses today depend on their internet connection.” While some parts of Lanark County were still on dial-up internet as recently as a few years ago, now, “large companies require faster internet connections than were

available even a couple of years ago, to the point that the quality of their internet connection becomes as important as the availability of other utilities such as hydro and water when considering a business location.”

The news was warmly welcomed at town hall.

“We appreciate the economic development that will be brought by this,” said acting Mayor John Gemmell. “(This) will no doubt put us on the map as a destination for economic development.”

Pat Wiseman, president of the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce also welcomed the initiative, and the competitive advantage it would give his member businesses, claiming that it would “transform Perth into a wired superpower in the area,” which will allow Perth to compete with larger areas who are also looking to attract businesses.

“Large businesses are showing great interest in relocating,” said Wiseman. “We know it will help our members connect and create economic opportunities.”

CREATION From P1

til after the fall from grace, when Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden.

The scripture reads: “And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.”

Using a series of photographs of skulls with long, sharp teeth, he asked the children to identify which animal the skull may belong to – like the Chinese water deer, which, despite its long fangs, is not a carnivore.

“Just because it has long teeth does not mean it eats meat,” said Olsthoorn, even going so far as to assert that some lions and sharks do not eat meat.

However, Maddin disagreed with Olsthoorn’s assertion on this.

“Dinosaurs with sharp teeth were almost certainly meat eaters,” wrote Maddin.

“We know this from comparisons with living carnivores.

Animals are integrative organisms. In addition to sharp teeth, these dinosaurs possess other traits that are associated with living carnivores, espe-

cially predators. Their skeletons often show adaptations to being speedy and agile, which are important traits for chasing down prey, much like living predators.”

Jordan agreed with Maddin that most dinosaurs were “almost universally meat eaters.” More pointedly, he wrote that “I know creationist organizations like CMI point to animals like fruit bats or pandas to show that even plant eaters can have sharp teeth (usually as a way of arguing Tyrannosaurus Rex was created to eat plants), but the similarities are strictly superficial and betray an utter lack of understanding about tooth form and function. This is something I’ve spent a lot of time studying.”

At the end of the presentation, one boy asked about the mythical Loch Ness monster in Scotland.

“Well, you’re thinking,” said Olsthoorn, not dismissing the possibility that it could be a wayward reptile from the dinosaur era.

Tom Bourne, the school’s principal, thanked his guest for the presentation, and told his students that “today, we got some light shone on us about science. I know I learned some things.”

Tory candidate Gord Brown says he has delivered for riding Child benefit

truhnke@metroland.com

Editor’s note: This is the fourth in a series of Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes candidate profiles running in the weeks leading up to the federal election Oct. 19.

Job creation and the economy have always been the biggest issues, according to Gord Brown.

The Conservative candidate in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes is seeking re-election to the House of Commons on Oct. 19.

Brown was first elected MP of LeedsGrenville in 2004 and was re-elected in 2006, 2008 and 2011. The riding’s name change takes effect as part of the current election.

“Leadership That Delivers” has been the theme of Brown’s campaign. The candidate indicated that he is proud of his record and that of the government.

Brown said that he has been fighting for infrastructure and economic development funding for Leeds-Grenville. Those efforts have paid off with significant federal investments, which include the Port of Johnstown and waste-water plants in the riding. Brown said he worked diligently to ensure the Aquatarium in Brockville received its share of federal funding.

The Conservative candidate noted he has been “the biggest advocate” of the Eastern Ontario Development Program, which is administered by community futures development programs

Brown acknowledged that the government of which he has been a member has had to make tough choices over the course of the last nine years or so in order to keep the country on the right track. “You have to make decisions that are not necessarily popular,” he commented.

Brown, 55, said that he is encouraged by the feedback he has been receiving during the campaign. “I’m finding a very positive response,” he stated. “I never take the people of this riding for granted.”

Although the economy is the top priority, Brown noted that he has been hearing from many constituents about safety and security issues. The Conservatives have delivered on issues such as safe communities and security on the world stage, according to the Leeds-Grenville MP. Brown also noted that the government delivered on its promise to eliminate the gun registry.

A union representing employees at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (PSFDH) is charging that re-admission rates have risen 16.5 per cent over the past several years.

Hospital management, however, is disputing this, pegging the number much lower, at about seven per cent.

During a press conference at the Smiths Falls branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on Tuesday, Sept.

29, Michael Hurley, president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU), said that their statistics were drawn from information stretching from 2009 to 2014 from the Canadian Institute for Health Information, and focused specifically on the PSFDH and the Brockville General Hospital.

“A readmission is a system failure,” said Hurley. “People who were discharged were coming back in…in significant numbers.”

John Jackson, president of CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) local 2119, who works at the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, agreed.

“Where beds have been cut in the community, there has been a spike in readmission rates,” said Jackson. His own hospital saw 12 beds, six at each site, cut back in 2013. “I can’t speak about individual cases,” he added, but Mike Rodrigues, vice president of CUPE

local 1974, who works at the Kingston General Hospital (KGH), he has seen, first-hand, patients being sent home to free up beds at his workplace.

“There are two huddles a day,” said Rodrigues, where upper management and the hospital’s chief executive officer confer at 9:15 a.m. and 2:15 p.m. to discuss “Who can go today? Who can we get out?” when there is “gridlock,” at the hospital, such as long waiting room times.

“It’s difficult,” Rodrigues said. But, “you tow the party line. They do what they are told.”

He conceded that the doctors and nurses likely do a triage of who is best able, of all of the patients on the floor, to go home, but he has seen, in the last 10 years alone, women being sent home 10 to 12 hours after giving birth to a child, whereas, in 2005, that mother could have stayed three-to-four days in the hospital.

Hurley said he has heard of patients who “are not well enough to be sent home…fighting with their doctors,” who are trying to discharge them.

“A lot of pressure is put on the family,” from the hospital administration and doctors, Hurley added, with the hospital threatening to charge families as much as $300 to $1,000 a day for each additional day their loved one remains in hospital – something he says is illegal.

He saw such a scenario with his own mother.

The Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital.

“She can’t stay here,” he was told. “‘What’re you going to do with her?’

She died in hospital.’”

Very often, according to Hurley, a patient may acquire a hospital-borne virus while recovering from a surgery, for example, but “people are being moved through the system much more quickly,” than they used to be, sometimes without sufficient recovery periods, and then, “the system has a second go at making them better.”

This not only causes distress for the family and the health system, but also in the workforce too.

“A huge number of people in Ontario do not have paid sick leave,” said Hurley. “The personal cost to me (as a

returning patient) is significant…It’s a health setback, it’s a psychological setback.”

Hurley added that hospitals in both Kingston and Ottawa were experiencing similar re-admission rates. He does not think it was “entirely valid,” to dismiss re-admission rates on the rising number of older people in the area, as Baby Boomers reach their retirement years.

“They will try to downplay this,” said Hurley, before adding that it was not a problem created at the Smiths Falls or Perth hospital sites themselves. “This is a system problem because they have been starved of funding.”

Don’t get me started on socks er.

Last week the weather turned cold-

On Oct. 1 I found myself lamenting about it being cold enough that it was time to wear socks.

I don’t really like socks.

Well, that’s not exactly true. I like socks in the winter because they keep my feet cosy. But it’s not winter yet and, like Justin Trudeau, I’m just not ready. For socks. Or winter.

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with this particular item of clothing. The only time I wear them in warm weather is when I run, which continues to be sporadic. For my myriad other sporting activities (ha!), socks are shunned. We don’t wear socks at karate and typically not when swimming either, although zebra mussels have made water socks (or shoes) required equipment in some locations.

That all being said, I’m reasonably practical when it comes to socks. If my feet get cold I’ll put them on. I have friends who pretty much refuse to wear them until there is actually snow on the ground, which reminds me of when I was a kid. I’m pretty sure I didn’t wear socks for most of high school. Or if I did, it was only when I was outside. They got crammed in the locker otherwise.

I remember when Boychild and Girlchild were really small (particularly the latter), we waged a seasonal battle with socks. For small creatures whose lives hinged on routine, it was sacrilege when the warm weather came and we abandoned socks and sturdy shoes for sandals and/or bare feet.

It was much harder come autumn to force those tiny toes into warm appendage covers. It didn’t tend to take as long with Boychild. Girlchild, though, had a penchant for dresses when she was a toddler. That meant there was a lot more bare skin to attempt to cover than just from toe to calf. Wrangling her into tights to go with those lovely dresses in order to avoid frostbite was often a battle of epic proportions.

Parenting: Not for the weak.

Things haven’t changed all that much, I suppose. In our household Groom-boy complained vehemently about having to change from shorts into pants one day last week. Boychild, who only has to walk a block and a bit to school, has resisted long pants. Girlchild remains stubborn.

Past Deadline

STEPHANIE GRAY

Plus she has apparently outgrown more pants than we first thought.

Here’s another thing about socks: There are too many white socks at my house, and many of them are single.

Groom-boy and Boychild prefer white ankle socks in the summer. This means that when I do the laundry I am faced with an avalanche of white ankle socks of varying descriptions.

The guys are pretty much the same size now, and that means the chief laundry sorter has a hard time keeping everything straight. The jeans I’ve got covered because I know who likes which brand, but when it comes to the shorts and the T-shirts with their myriad sporty logos, I get a bit befuddled.

And then there are the socks.

“Okay,” Groom-boy explains.

“Mine are the Converse ones with the coloured stars at the toe. And also the Adidas ones and I just bought these new ones here with the grey pattern on the heel.”

I respond with a blank stare. (Actually I sometimes respond with words that I shouldn’t use here.)

That means Boychild’s socks are everything else, but that is only useful if Mom can remember that his are not Adidas and keep straight which greypatterned ones belong to whom. There really just isn’t enough room in my brain anymore for that level of detail.

Things went really well when people thought it would be helpful to correct Mom on whose socks were whose.

Most of the time all the white socks (except for the ones with the coloured stars – I’ve nailed that) get put in a pile now and I silently invite people to sort them out themselves while I put my own socks in my drawer and dole out Girlchild’s tiny and easily distinguishable ones for her to put away.

Socks drive me crazy. Except when I need them to keep my feet warm, that is.

I had no idea I had so much to say about socks. I intended to talk about not being ready for winter because I still haven’t warmed up from 2014.

Weather column coming soon!

Around 300 trees were planted at the Perth Water Treatment Plant on Saturday, Oct. 3, thanks to volunteers involved with the TD Tree Planting initiative. More than a dozen volunteers worked to plant native trees in the formerly bare space as part of a larger, nation-wide campaign.

Make voting a family affair “I know who you’re gonna vote for!” said my father-in-law, Gilles, leaning in across his dining room table at me.

The beginnings of a smile played at the edges of his mouth. I knew something was up – I hadn’t even made up my mind yet, so how was he so sure who I would mark my X for in the run-up to the last federal election in 2011.

“Your family is Irish,” he said, winding up for the pitch. “You’re gonna vote for ‘da Green Party!”

Cue rim shot.

While some families take activities like sports and politics very seriously, in my family, on both sides, it’s not so serious that you can’t make a joke about it.

But we do treat it seriously enough to couple them with good habits.

The old line goes that the family that prays together, stays together.

Creating good habits early on will save everyone down the road – in either the Christian sense of being saved, or saving the bother of having to break bad habits in a more secular meaning.

For a long time, Mother Devoy, God rest her soul, would get the Devoy children down on their knees in the family

DESMOND DEVOY Des Says home in Brampton those many years ago to say the rosary, as she had been taught to do in her native Ireland.

We didn’t much care for it at the time, but I now recognize it as being a few moments out of our day for quiet contemplation, almost like meditating, or chanting, more aptly. If you can’t take time for God, she’d say, you can’t take time for anything else that matters.

Everyone would take turns doing a decade, and I still look back on that time as a connection to her past, a time in Ireland now long since gone.

Which brings us to the federal election on Monday, Oct. 19, and the opening of advance polls starting tomorrow in Smiths Falls and Perth. Advance polling days are Oct. 9, 10, 11, and 12. The advance polls will be open from noon until 8 p.m. at the Smiths Falls Seniors

I couldn’t wait to vote for the first time. My mother drove me straight from St. Augustine Catholic High School to the Chris Gibson Recreation Centre in Brampton to vote for the first time.

It was June 3, 1999 and not only did I want to finally cast my ballot, I had to – it was a requirement of Mr. Heaney’s politics class!

A year later, I took my younger sister, Dympna around the corner on Nov. 27, 2000, to get her to vote for the first time at St. Joachim Catholic elementary school.

After we had voted, she looked up at me and, in her best ditzy voice, said, “So, eh, like, was I supposed to put a smiley face in those circles?”

The best moment came on June 28, 2004, when I led both Dympna and our younger brother, Kieran to the polls, again at St. Joachim, in the federal election.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

From page P8

Reader says book launch marred by Warden DEAR EDITOR:

I was delighted to be one of the hundreds to attend the Sept. 19 book launch of At Home in Tay Valley. With Fallbrook and Bathurst roots that go back to Ireland in the 1800s, it was wonderful to experience the celebration and historic significance of our 200th anniversary.

Saturday was my first time to attend a function with the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell. It was indeed a day of pomp and circumstance to have the representative of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth in our midst. Clearly organizers worked diligently and effectively to have someone of this status to attend.

This leads me to my one horrible memory of the day. Unfortunately it relates to the Reeve of Tay Valley and current Warden of Lanark County. I believe that some constructive criticism must be stated: I do so with the hope that Mr. Kerr learns from the experience.

Mr. Kerr seemed to be unprepared both in appearance and performance for the afternoon presentation. Not only did he attend without suitable business attire of tie and jacket, he wore his signature straw inside the building in the presence of Her Honour. He even wore it for the historical group picture as he sat in the front row beside Lieutenant Dowdeswell, his hat blocking the faces of those behind

him.

Mr. Kerr was clearly unprepared to address the gathering as he stumbled through the reading and turning of the pages of a speech prepared for his convenience.

I sincerely hope that in the future, Mr. Kerr will consider that the public has respect for the offices he holds.

His appearance and behaviour at the book launch could be interpreted that he does not share such respect. In my opinion, Warden Kerr was an embarrassment. I believe he should apologize to Tay Valley employees, councillors and constituents.

Members of the Lanark County detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a Tay Valley Township man in relation to a recent occurrence on Wild Life Road.

On Oct. 4 at approximately 10:30 p.m. the accused attended a residence on Wild Life Road and attempted to

years later when she brought our father to vote in his ďŹ rst Canadian election, last year’s provincial election on June 12. If you rummage around on her Facebook page, you can still see the photo of them, outside of the polling place, their voter identiďŹ cation cards in hand, and the biggest smile you’ve ever seen on my father’s face.

Thanks for paying it forward, Dympna.

In the years to come when I started my own family, Stacey and I voted together for the ďŹ rst time as a couple on Oct. 10, 2007, at the Carleton Place arena, 17 days before our wedding. Afterwards, we have brought babies in strollers in with us. Not that they’ll remember it, of course, but you’re never too early to start.

Even before I could vote, I remember taking great pride in the run-up to the June 2, 1997 federal election when older students approached me to ask who they should vote for. That made my day.

Our families use plenty of humour around voting.

My wife’s grandmother and her husband returned from the 2007 vote and Irene was all delighted. “Well,� she said breathlessly. “I voted for the Green Party and Murray voted for the Marijuana Party!�

Murray smiled and nodded. And we all burst out laughing.

On May 2, 2011, Stacey and I awoke

and began our day. We had just arrived in from Toronto the night before, visiting my brother and his girlfriend, now wife, Jennifer. Our voter cards were on the fridge, up high out of little Michaela’s reach. We were ready to go – except for my wife’s purse.

Turns out it was in my brother’s Bathurst Street apartment – four hours away.

I was all ready to vouch for her at the T.R. Leger School around the corner when who should be one of the poll clerks but our neighbour down the road. “Oh, I know who you are!� she said, waving Stacey through. “Gotta love small towns,� said Stacey.

Is this having any effect on my daughters? Well, Loughlin is only two, so she’s barely aware of anything amiss, but for Michaela, now six, she’s catching on.

After the ďŹ rst leaders’ debate back in August, I asked her who she would vote for for prime minister.

Her face scrunched up a bit, as she looked at me, so I offered vague physical descriptions of the leaders. “The man with the beard, the young guy with the nice hair, the older guy with the silver hair, or the lady with the glasses,� I asked.

Her face brightened right up, and with great conďŹ dence, she said, “why, the lady with the glasses, of course!â€?

Girl power.

Maybe the voting message is getting through after all.

As for blaming the issue on the elderly, Hurley said that that was ageism.

“It’s like they’ve targeted this whole demographic band of seniors,” he said, accusing them of soaking up precious hospital resources, when, by his estimation, it may be the first time any of them have made any personal demands on the system.

For Hurley and his fellow union cohorts, the problem lies at Queen’s Park.

“The provincial government has imposed a five-year funding freeze on the hospitals in Perth and Smiths Falls,” he charged, with zero-per-cent increases in their budgets. He cited statistics from the Ontario auditor general’s office which show that hospital costs are going up 5.8 per cent for a variety of reasons, like wages, the cost of medical technology, and the cost of dispensing free prescription drugs.

“The hospitals here, in real terms, have had their budgets reduced by 20 per cent over this period,” said Hurley of the 2009-14 period.

According to both Rodrigues and information released at the hospital’s annual general meeting earlier this year, there could be between $16 to $21 million less money coming down

from the area’s Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), but “they haven’t been specific yet,” as to which hospitals will be hardest hit, said Rodrigues. “They haven’t announced where or when.”

“They’ve got this cloud over their head,” said Hurley.

Jackson lamented that while the hospital administration has tried its best to be as kind as it can with its cuts – with only one outright layoff – getting 12 beds cut from the local hospital system seems to be “how you get rewarded for efficiency.”

“It’s time for the province to start funding the hospitals properly,” said Hurley. One way that this could be addressed would be to raise the corporate tax rate.

Administration response Later that week, in her office at the Great War Memorial Hospital site of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, president and chief administrative officer Bev McFarlane held a mini press conference of her own, alongside board chair Richard Schooley, to refute some of the union’s allegations, starting with some of their numbers.

“There is often another aspect of readmissions,” said Schooley during the interview on Thursday, Oct. 1. A patient could be, theoretically, discharged from

hospital after recovering from heart surgery, then be readmitted two weeks later after falling on some ice while shoveling snow from his driveway. Any admission to hospital within 30 days after a discharge would be counted as a re-admission – even if the cause was not directly related to the initial admission.

The hospital, like other hospitals, has a policy of discharging patients if they need to get care at another facility, “when people need to move, to get the specialty service that they need.”

For example, a patient might need help at the Kingston General Hospital that the Smiths Falls hospital may not be able to provide. So, the patient is discharged from Smiths Falls, admitted to Kingston, where the operation is carried out. Then, when it is safe to do so, they are discharged from Kingston, and re-admitted to Smiths Falls, if need be.

“It’s an indicator, absolutely,” said McFarlane. “But it is a single indicator.”

This newspaper was shown numbers that broke down what McFarlane called their “unanticipated re-admissions” rate.

By the hospital’s numbers, that rate was, over the past six years: • 2009-10: 5.7 per cent • 2010-11: 5.1 per cent • 2011-12: 6.2 per cent

• 2012-13: 7.0 per cent • 2013-14: 6.3 per cent • 2014-15: 7.0 per cent “Numbers, you can colour a certain way,” said McFarlane.

“We are getting people in and out appropriately,” agreed Schooley.

She hastened to add that her hospital was recently awarded the distinction of being one of the top five hospitals in the province for quick-time responses, for getting patients seen to and into an inpatient bed.

According to the hospital’s numbers, the occupancy rate for acute care hospital beds was as low as the high 60s per cent over the summer, and in the high 70s per cent this past spring.

“You have to look at all of the other indicators,” said McFarlane.

Schooley also noted that the hospital’s admissions have gone up from more than 31,000 in 2009 to more than 37,000 in 2014-15, and that they estimate the real admission rate at about seven per cent.

“How can you deal with more admissions with fewer beds?” asked McFarlane. “We are able to make you feel better in a shorter period of time.”

Gall bladder surgery used to require a seven-day stay in hospital, she said.

Now, it is considered day surgery.

“You aren’t even admitted,” she said. “The business of hospital care has changed over the years. The worst thing you can do is keep someone in an acute care bed when they don’t need to be there.”

As for charging patients who refuse to leave the hospital because they do not believe that they are fully healed as yet, McFarlane did admit that “there is a rate that is charged, if there is a reasonable discharge plan and people refuse to leave,” but she added that “I don’t think we’ve ever done that here.”

As for the union’s assertion that the hospital had less money on hand, Schooley pointed out that gross hospital revenues rose from $43 million in 2010 to $51 million in 2015.

In fact, the LHIN is giving the hospital more money as a type of efficiency bonus, having wrestled five years worth of deficits into a $1.2 million surplus in 2014, with a projected surplus of $1.6 million for 2015.

“That’s the cushion we are building,” said Schooley, in anticipation of the LHIN providing them with less money in the coming years. “In case some of these funding change realities manifest themselves.”

“We have seen increases in our LHIN and Ministry of Health funding,” added Schooley.

PDCI students run for Terry Oct. 9

On Oct. 9, Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) will again be participating in the Terry Fox Run in Terry’s memory.

The school is continuing this tradition to help raise awareness and funds for cancer research with a goal of $2,000 in donations from the school’s students.

PDCI’s LINK Crew students have organized all events connected to PDCI’s Terry Fox walk/run. These include not only the collecting of class donations, but a post-run barbecue, and the selling of T-shirts.

The route will take students down Victoria Street, to Gore Street, up Harvey Street and then back down Drummond Street ending at the school.

PDCI’s LINK Crew works hard all year to make sure our schools new students feel welcome and a part of the blue devil community. Our senior leaders and co-ordinators provide an all-inclusive environment, which promotes achievement and school spirit.

An assembly was held on Oct. 5 to raise awareness of the run happening later that week on Oct. 9. On the day of the run, the Grades 7s through 12s will all participate in the cross-town walk.

The hope of the PDCI LINK Crew is to raise their goal amount through class donations as well as the barbecue. This will continue the tradition at PDCI of helping those in need.

Around 300 trees were planted at the Perth Water Treatment Plant on Saturday, Oct. 3, thanks to volunteers involved with the TD Tree Days initiative. More than a dozen volunteers worked to plant native trees in the formerly bare space as part of a larger, nation-wide campaign. Above, Mike Rath, branch manager of the Perth TD location, plants one of the trees.

Delve into the Ottawa Valley in the railway age at Oct. 15 historical society meeting The Perth and District Historical Society presents Perth native son and ex-pat, Brian Gilhuly, at its Oct. 15 meeting. His presentation: Lumber Barons, Rascally Politicians & Canada’s Railway King: The Ottawa Valley in the Railway Age. Trains! There are those who embrace the lore of the railway and the song of the train as it rumbles along. On the other side of the coin, there are those who at best endure the train as a necessity, as long as it is in someone else’s backyard, or at worst, as a threat to peace and calm, and even safety. Either way, the train played an integral role in the early development of this region and of this country.

For a time, the railroad was a significant factor in enabling the growth of commerce and communities, and the movement of people.

However, following the First

lumber, local railways and steamboats, and eventually the national project. Without a means of transporting sawn lumber to American buyers, the mills of the Ottawa Valley would have remained the small local enterprises as originally launched by the landowner/ lumberman they started as. However, with the waterfront terminals in Brockville just a short ferry trip from the US railroads, the Brockville and Ottawa Railway opened the way to the markets to the south and beyond. It was over this track that the lumber barons of the Valley exported their mill production for

historical society Times Past

decades. Further, the Ottawa Valley was also the natural route for a railway to the Pacific, involving the Valley towns and their railways in high finance and low politics.

Brian Gilhuly was born in Perth and is the son of Len, owner of Gilhuly’s Stationery Store at 47 Foster Street, and of Edith, a nurse at the Great War Memorial Hospital. During his 40-year career with the federal public service, he developed and managed heritage programmes and retired in 2011 as Director-General from the Department of Canadian Heritage.

Since retirement, he has re-

searched the history and social impact of Canada’s railways. He has lived in Arnprior since 1993 and is the author of Arnprior Area Railway History in Maps. His family left its mark on Perth: His father was manager of the Perth branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and his grandfather, Gordon Gilhuly, was appointed Perth police chief in 1927.

Top bluegrass band, the Slocan Ramblers, coming to Maberly Oct. 25 Canada’s hottest young bluegrass band, the Slocan Ramblers, make a special appearance this month at Maberly Hall, in a fundraising concert for MERA, on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m.

The Ramblers, who are wowing audiences across the continent with renditions of traditional bluegrass classics and their own fiery original tunes, performed at the MERA Schoolhouse to a sold-out audience last year. For their return appearance MERA is hosting them at the larger Maberly Hall as a fundraising event for the community arts and recreation centre that serves Lanark Highlands, Drummond and Tay Valley Townships.

The Slocan Ramblers are Canada’s young bluegrass band to watch. Rooted in the tradition, fearlessly creative, and possessing a bold, dynamic sound, The Slocans (2015 Edmonton Folk Fest Emerging Artist Award recipients), have quickly become a leading light of Canada’s roots music scene, built on their reputation for energetic live shows,

One of the country’s hottest young bluegrass bands, the Slocan Ramblers, will perform at Maberly Hall on Oct. 25, in support of MERA. impeccable musicianship and their uncanny ability to convert anyone within earshot into a lifelong fan.

On their new album, Coffee Creek (2015) The Slocan Ramblers blend lightning fast and devilishly intricate instrumentals with the sawdust-thick vocals of singer Frank Evans, who takes lead on songs ranging from rowdy old-time numbers like Groundhog, to a Dustbowl classic like Woody Guthrie’s Pastures of Plenty.

“Toronto audiences don’t respond to a clean, polished Nashville sound,” tune composer and mandolinist Adrian Gross explains. “They dig a lot of energy in their music, a rowdy bar vibe. They’re hard to win over.”

But The Slocan Ramblers have won them over, moving from a young ensemble of bluegrass pickers to one of the best-known Canadian roots bands.

They’ve done this by staying true to the roots of the music, not seeking to revive

anything but rather to tap the rough and rowdy heart of the music.

Coffee Creek was produced by the band’s friend and mentor Chris Coole (The Foggy Hogtown Boys), a wellknown banjo player and community leader in Toronto’s bluegrass and oldtime scenes.

Like Coole, The Slocan Ramblers bring the live, collaboratory aspects of the music to the fore, and they understand that if you polish up the music too much, you lose the raw excitement that makes it so vibrant.

In the liner notes, Coole breaks it down.

“What really impressed me while we were working on this album, was that, while they can pull off the precision and virtuosity that is at the backbone of bluegrass, they understand the power of the fragile moment in music. The fragile moment used to be a big part of what made an album cool – Monroe singing just beyond the edge of his voice, the moment right before you realize Vassar

isn’t lost – the moment on and beyond the edge,” he says.

The recording is roots music without pretension, music intended to make you feel something, music to get you moving in a crowded bar. The Slocan Ramblers recorded Coffee Creek the same way they perform on stage: standing up, leaning into the music, and pushing harder and harder for that edge just beyond.

Also on the bill for the Oct. 25 concert is Foolish Heart, an Almonte-based band (Allan Brown on vocals and guitar, Bob Leviton on guitar, Rob Bowyer on bass), who will perform a brief opening set before the Slocans.

The Slocan Ramblers performance at Maberly Hall will take place on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 7 p.m. Advance tickets are $22 ($20 for MERA members) and are available from Tickets Please, 39 Foster Street, Perth (Jo’s Clothes), online at www.ticketsplease.ca, or by phone at 613-485-6434.

Lace up your shoes and hurry to the inaugural Murphys Mica Fun Run at Murphys Point on Saturday, Oct. 17.

This five-kilometre run is a fundraiser for the Friends of Murphys Point Park and will take runners (and walkers) on a beautiful route from the main beach at Hogg Bay and along scenic campground roads and hiking trails.

“This is the first time we have hosted this event and we’re hoping it will become an annual fundraiser for us,” said

Thanksgiving is about giving and receiving Rev Gerald Kerr

the receiving end of other’s generosity.

We have a hard time saying, “thank you” when the opportunity presents itself. I learned this about myself about 12 years ago when doing a course in clinical pastoral education in a hospital setting at St. Joseph’s Hospital in London. I was part of a small group of learners over a very intense four months and both the group and supervisor observed this in me how hard it was for me to show gratitude and just say, “thank you” when they did something nice for me. They were right and it was a huge revelation discovering how after so many years I never felt deserving of another’s praise or a good turn in my favour or when someone wanted to give me something.

I have since mended my ways but now see this trait more clearly in others and I must say often church folks display this trait more clearly than I care to admit. Working as I do in a church, I am surrounded by so many hard working people always ready to do so much for others. Yet those same folks have difficulty accepting the goodness of others or gifts directed at them. We are great at

giving in so many ways but find it hard to receive in a gracious and thankful manner.

My mother has a line she says, “The takers eat well but the givers sleep well.”

It sounds a bit cynical but there is some truth in that. However, rather than being a taker grabbing everything for oneself when we are able to receive well whatever it is others wish to give us we are more ready to be generous and giving of ourselves.

This Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to practice both giving and receiving. The rewards and the feeling of well being can be equally satisfying and we can become more balanced in our living generously in the process. So, this year after offering up the turkey or whatever it is you give to others at this time of year watch for the chance to receive something for which you can genuinely say, “thank you” and mean it.

We are about to enjoy one of the most popular and last long weekend celebrations of the year – Thanksgiving. Maybe its popularity comes from experiencing the fall colours or families getting together or our willingness to shore up the local food bank supplies at The Table in town. Unlike Christmas, there are no gifts exchanging hands which is always a reminder about the merits of giving AND receiving.

Thanksgiving is more of a one sided affair where we are expected to give a little. We are good at giving and this is one of the more generous parts of the country. You see it in the response to appeals and benefit dances for fire victims or road races and bike runs to support cancer research efforts to find a cure for many different types of the dreaded disease that affects so many of us.

Settlers trek announced for 2016 as part of 200th anniversary celebrations Regional heritage enthusiasts are pleased to announce a “Settlers Trek” from Brockville to Perth to take place in May of 2016 to enhance the historical celebrations taking place during Perth and district’s 200th anniversary.

The arrival of the first settlers to the Perth Military Settlement in 1816 will be commemorated with a re-enactment being organized by the “Settlers Trek 2016 Committee”, a volunteer group with connections to area historical societies, museums and municipal organizations.

This Trek will be a symbolic attempt to cover as much as possible of the original overland and water route from Brockville to Perth. The members of the original Trek were government-sponsored civilians from the British Isles and decommissioned soldiers from the War of 1812 and the Napoleonic conflicts.

Starting on Sunday, May 15, 2016, today’s participants will leave the Courthouse Green in Brockville, travelling by horse and wagon and foot northwards through the communities of Athens and Delta to Portland.

At these four sites, local organizers will arrange for daily civic celebrations that will include music, dinners, dances, children’s games, gospel sing-alongs, church services, military encampments and skill demonstrations reflective of that period.

Brockville ceremonies begin around noon hour on Sunday, May 15, 2016 with a call from a Town Crier and greetings from Brockville’s mayor. Invited historical guests include the Honourable Charles Jones (aka Brian Porter), the Brockville Pipe and Drum Band and the Brockville Infantry Company. First Presbyterian Church is discussing ways

to play a meaningful part in this event.

The Trek resumes a short ways outside Athens for a family oriented late afternoon/evening program on the same day. The re-enactors approach Delta on Tuesday evening, May 17, and Portland on Wednesday, May 18 where local organizers are hoping to especially involve area elementary schools in various activities.

Provision of land transportation from Brockville to Portland has been requested through the Leeds County Draft Horse Club.

From Portland, another group of reenactors from Greg Anderson’s GeoAdventure class at PDCI will paddle the Rideau and Tay waterways. The Highland Bus Company will assist the PDCI students to get to the Portland site. The Trek will conclude on Friday, May 20, 2p.m. by flotilla at the Perth Basin.

Volunteers have been located with direct links to the original group of settlers and they will be leading the Trek from Brockville. The Oliver family of Drummond/North Elmsley, prominent members of Perth’s St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, will form the core of this procession.

Others with similar genealogical backgrounds and interests who choose to volunteer are encouraged to join the Trek at any point on the land route. For those with canoes, you can join the flotilla at Perth’s Last Duel Park docks and follow the lead group into the Basin.

2016 Heritage Fair to feature pioneer encampment The Perth Regional Heritage Fair will host a “Pioneer Encampment” around the Crystal Palace on Friday, May 20, 2016.

This unique one-day event is to enhance the historical aspects of the area’s 200th anniversary celebrations.

The morning will be reserved for Heritage Fair students while the Public can view the site from 1-5pm. Students from area grade four to eight schools participating in this student history fair will select morning workshops at the Palace from at least nine offered at the “Pioneer Encampment,” all with a theme of 19th century skills.

Masonry, blacksmithing, tanning, mining, rope and shingle making, canoe construction, along with several military re-enactment camps featuring the Canadian Fencibles, the Swiss de Wattevilles and the Fort Henry Guard, guarantee an exciting range of participatory workshop selections.

The latter three are possible through a generous grant from Omya.

A highlight for all will be the Arrival of the Settlers’ Trek flotilla at 2pm in the Perth Basin. Re-enactors and citizen volunteers, having travelled overland and by water from Brockville since Sunday, May 15, 2016, conclude their symbolic journey of the first Settlers to this region as was attempted in 1816.

The lead canoe of the flotilla, provided by the Rideau Roundtable Voyageur Canoe Company, will carry invited representatives from the land Trek re-enactors, the combined 200th anniversary committees and area municipalities, and the planning committee for the Settlers’ Trek. A planned volley of musket fire from the military re-enactors on shore at the Crystal Palace and music appropriate to the era will enhance the spectacle.

To incorporate the 200th anniversary theme, the Regional Heritage Fair will also encourage all grade four- to- eight students involved in area school fairs to focus their research on topics related to the development of their communities.

Themes could cover such broad areas as genealogy, architecture, education, industry and business, personalities, events, transportation, legends and folklore.

These student projects will be judged in the morning at the Perth Legion Hall.

They will be on Public display from 1 to 2 p.m. The awards ceremony takes place at the Studio Theatre around 3 p.m.

The entire day is sponsored by the Ontario Heritage Fair Association, organized by the Perth Regional Heritage Fair committee, and supported by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244 and Omya.

Details on the Perth Regional Heritage Fair plans for 2016 will be available on their website www.prhf.org starting this fall.

St. James Anglican Church Perth

BERRY

Desmond Devoy/METROLAND

Rev. Kenneth Owen Davis, the new leader of St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Perth. and took a staggering eight classes for Grade 13 (the old OAC or Ontario Academic Credit year). It was a big change from elementary school report cards, which read: “Your son has great potential. If he would only apply himself.”

He had plans to study at the Royal Military College in Kingston, but the year he would have entered RMC was the last year that the college did not admit women.

“Do I really want to go to school that is male only?” he asked.

Instead, he chose to study philosophy across town at Queen’s University, where many of his friends and his girlfriend at the time were attending. He chose philosophy over psychology. He wanted to carry on with post-graduate studies even being offered a chance to study at that other Queen’s University, this one in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

But, “I ran out of money.”

Interestingly, at about this exact same time, his mother, who had not completed her high school studies, returned and got her diploma, but she did not stop there.

She had always wanted to be a teacher, so, she went on to Seneca College, and then York University.

“When I was in high school, she was in high school,” he said. She graduated from York at the age of 56 with a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a Bachelor of Education. Shortly after receiving her paperwork, however, she died.

“The next fall, she would’ve been a school teacher,” he said, quietly.

Having studied some computer courses at Queen’s, Davis applied for computer work at some life insurance companies in Toronto, but was hired on at a television and radio advertising agency in that city instead. He worked as a junior buyer, buying up radio and television advertising time.

“I got to see TV shows before they went out,” he said. “I was a TV junkie as a kid, so I thought this was fantastic…

I would guess how well they (pilots) would do,” and could predict if a show would be a hit, or, just as often, if a show would be a commercial hit, but intellectually vacant.

“You would just know,” he said.

From one of Toronto’s toughest neighbourhoods, to the world of advertising, from finding love again in his own church, and helping the Cree people re-connect with their culture, Rev. Kenneth Owen Davis, the new priest at St. James the Apostle Anglican Church in Perth, has not had a straight or easy path to the priesthood.

During a sit-down interview in his office, still strewn with several unpacked boxes of books Wednesday, Sept. 23, Davis’ official “induction ceremony,” has not yet occurred.

Davis was born in Toronto at Women’s College Hospital and grew up in the tough Lawrence Heights public housing complex.

He attended Bathurst Heights Secondary School, which he lovingly refers to as “Switchblade High.” His school was so tough, and academic achievement so rare that there were players on the school’s soccer team who had full beards, as they were in their fifth goround of Grade 12.

In later years, he read of the death of a friend’s mother from the old neighbourhood. Her funeral was to be held at a community church near the Yorkdale shopping centre. He suddenly felt the urge to represent the Davis family at the funeral, and it was an eye-opener for him to see what had become of many of his former classmates.

“If they were not in jail, they were just out of jail,” he said, or had jobs as bouncers at bars. “In Grade 10, I didn’t think I would go to university.”

His parents believed in upward mobility, so they moved to Oshawa, Ont. when he was a teenager, where he finished high school. He was accompanied by his younger sister, but his older brother refused to move, and stayed in the provincial capital.

At the time, Davis wished he could have followed his brother’s lead.

“I could think of nothing worse than moving out to the suburbs,” he said.

At his suburban high school in the 1970s, “every kid had dirty blonde, shoulder-length hair,” unlaced work boots and their fathers all worked for General Motors. There was no doubt about it, every student was intent on going to university. In time, he soon realized that that avenue was open to him too.

He soon sized up the social structure of his new school and realized that, “if you were not in the play or the football team, you were nothing.”

As such, he got the lead in the school play and made the football team.

“I ran fast enough to make the tryouts,” he said. “I was a terrible football player. I never watched it on TV,” and so, was not even totally clear on the rules.

His grades also improved.

“I had all this time on my hands,” he recalled. “I started doing homework,”

Faced with a medical decision, patients normally allow their doctor to decide on treatment, assuming he or she “always knows best”.

But “Consumer Report on Health” claims that this approach rarely works anymore. Doctors simply are unable to keep up with the flood of new information on medical therapy.

Consequently, some medical decisions must be based on the patient’s priorities, not just the doctor’s. This process might even decrease the cost of medical care.

Often the problem is communication. For instance, a study of 1,057 doctor/ patient visits, including 3,552 clinical decisions, found that only 9 percent provided the patient with enough information to make an informed choice!

So how do you figure out what is best for you? Potential traps are the now common operations of cataract surgery, and knee or hip replacement. Remember, these elective procedures should only be done when the physical condition affects your quality of life by inability to function. Not when the surgeon says, “I can fit you in.”

It’s also been reported that about one in seven women who have a hysterectomy don’t need the operation. So, ask if there are other procedures such as endometrial ablation that either remove fibroids or remove the lining of the uterus to decrease excessive bleeding.

Be cautious about long-term therapy such as the treatment of hypertension. Rather than submit yourself to a lifetime of prescription drugs, ask how lifestyle changes such as losing weight and exercise can be helpful. Taking a magnesium pill or a powder such as MagSense can relax arteries, decreasing blood pressure. So does the natural remedy Neo40 which, by increasing the production of nitric oxide, also relaxes arteries, thus decreasing hypertension. In addition, studies show that high doses of vitamin C and lysine will slowly remove atherosclerosis from arteries, a main cause of high blood pressure.

Your Health Food Store will inform you of the various choices available.

Screening tests also cost our health care system billions of dollars annually. Some are of questionable benefit and may cause unintended complications. One study showed that 40 percent of checkups involved tests which were unproven. For instance, if you don’t have a family history of heart disease or coronary symptoms there’s no need for a stress test. Some authorities also believe the PSA test to diagnose prostate cancer should never to be done as it causes more complications than it saves lives. And women in their forties should discuss the pros and cons of mammography before agreeing to one.

Every year a large numbers of MRI’s are performed for low back pain. But they are not needed unless the procedure is required for a treatment decision. It’s well known that an MRI may show a disk problem, but it may not be the cause of the pain. Many patients have this abnormality without back pain.

Besides, most back pain subsides without any treatment.

90 percent of hernias occur in men but how many require surgery? For years it’s been standard practice to operate to avoid bowel obstruction. But a study which followed several thousand men for several years discovered that, contrary to medical opinion, only one percent per year suffered from this complication.

Of course you must always ask your doctor, “What happens if I decide against treatment?” For instance, an 80 year old man with early prostate cancer may live another 15 years without treatment. In the interim he may die of something else. He may also decide that he does not want to take the risk of surgery and end up in diapers.

For women with early breast cancer a “lumpectomy” may be an option rather than complete removal of the breast. Some however, feel more assured if the entire breast is removed.

The main point is to be an informed patient so there are no surprises.

Michael Barry, Professor of Medicine at The Harvard Medical School studied 2,600 adults age 40 and older who faced decisions about surgery, medicine and screening tests. He reports that their level of knowledge was low. Many did not even know why they were undergoing a specific procedure. R0023477900_1008

Unfortunately, he would also see pilots that he would fall in love with that would either never make it to air, or, last only a few weeks come the fall premiere season.

Looking elsewhere At the agency, “I was fascinated by the creative guys,” he said, especially the copywriters.

While there was a lot of interesting characters to be seen at such a firm, there were less savoury aspects of the job that he, as a Christian, had to contend with.

“I went to the cathedral at the time,” he remembered. “I was the only person in the agency who went to church…I was always perplexed by people my age who had no ethical qualms about how we did our business and who we represented.”

Around this time, the United Church of Canada was taking part in a boycott of Nestle, the chocolate maker, for their role in milk formula sales to Third World countries. Nestle was one of his clients and a friend asked a co-worker of his, “Doesn’t that bother you?’ She said, ‘No, this was business.’”

He began to question his direction in life, wondering: “Maybe it’s not possible to live in this world and be a Christian.” (He now believes it is possible.)

It was at this time that “God moved me to look somewhere else.”

A friend of his announced she was going to Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto.

“It threw me into a funk for three weeks.” He told friends and family that, “I think it’s about Martha going to seminary.”

Unsure about why he was feeling the way he was, he phoned an old friend from Kingston, Jim Scanlan, a priest, to ask why he was thinking of going into the seminary.

After hearing him out, Scanlan said “If you’re asking that question, why are you even asking that question?”

He soon signed up for the seminary.

“I felt like an imposter for the first six months,” he admitted, especially when he shared classes with people who “knew they would be priests when they were 12…I’m not so sure (myself).”

But he became sure the longer he stayed.

“This seems to be what I was meant to do,” he said.

Davis graduated from Wycliffe College in 1986 with a Master of Divinity degree.

His first posting was to Erindale, in the Toronto suburb of Mississauga. He was a young assistant to the priest there. Having gotten married before leaving

Queen’s, his first son had been born in 1985, the year before he graduated from Wycliffe. During his second Christmas in Mississauga, his supervising priest was struck with pancreatic cancer. He would never return to the pulpit again, and Davis was left to run the church.

“I was left on my own,” he said. It was a “kind of a trial by fire. I learned a great deal.”

Soon, the priest, Charlie Edwards, died.

“He was 56 when he died.

Just like my mum. Bless him,” he said.

His next posting, this time as a full priest, was to Peterborough.

He had had visions before this posting of being sent to “a moderate sized town with a university.

Wouldn’t it be nice?” Peterborough, home to Trent University, certainly fit that description, but a quiet home life was not to be part of this posting.

By this point, his marriage had all but ended and he was divorced some years later. For nine years he raised his two sons as a single father.

Peterborough may have been where his first marriage came to an end, but it turned out to hold the beginnings of his second marriage.

“That’s where I met my wife, Jill,” he said, a smile spreading across his face.

Thanks, in part, to a lot of wellintentioned attempts at match making in his congregation.

“It bothered me. I found it offensive. They tried to set me up,” even though, at the time, “I still considered myself married,” he said.

Jill was a member of his congregation and worked as a pediatric physiotherapist. She even babysat his boys on occasion and “the boys loved her.”

In time, he began to realize that he had feelings for Jill, so, he went to his bishop and “I said, ‘There is this girl in my congregation that I want to ask out to dinner.’”

The bishop was glad to have heard about this move before the dinner took place, but simply said, “Be careful.”

“It was the most embarrassing, awkward meal,” said Davis, looking back on their first date.

“The meal had been such a disaster.”

Hoping to salvage something from the evening, he decided to take her to a quiet little place called Armour Hill, for a walk.

“This was a bad idea,” he recalled. As they approached, they saw numerous cars parked nearby, with teenagers inside and steamed-up windows. “It was the number one make out spot,” in Peterborough, he said, now completely mortified.

Seven months later, Davis re-

turned to the bishop.

“How would we know if we were called to be married?” he asked the bishop. The bishop said that one of them would definitely have to leave the parish, but, otherwise, he appeared to give his blessing.

Around this time, he was assigned to a new parish in Whitby, Ont. “The congregation was difficult and then fantastic,” he said.

One day, he received a call from the Bishop of Saskatchewan, Michael Hawkins, to see if he was interested in working at St. Alban’s Cathedral in Prince Albert.

They flew out secretly to the Prairies one Labour Day. They were only gone 24 hours, and were interviewed on the Sunday of the long weekend.

“We had 12 questions for him,” he said, but one of them, a deal-breaker, appeared to have been pre-ordained above. Wondering how Jill would find work as a pediatric physiotherapist in rural, remote northern Saskatchewan, they discovered, much to their amazement that “the only pediatric physiotherapist (in the area) was going on maternity leave.”

It became obvious what they were being called to do.

“We wept all the way to the airport,” he said, imagining all that they would be leaving behind in Ontario. But there was not a hint of hesitation either. “We were absolutely sure that that was where we were meant to go.”

In an interesting turn of events that mirrored his own brother’s decision not to move with the family to Oshawa back in the 1970s, his eldest son declined to move with the family out west.

By now, Davis had three sons, his eldest two, and his son with Jill, who is 14 years younger than his elder brothers.

In Saskatchewan, a large number of the congregation was made up of members of the Cree First Nation. The legacy of the residential schools was ever-present, with the near-total loss of their language, and the loss of much of their culture. Davis made it a mission to “re-integrate language and culture,” into the community, and the church as well. They began to include Cree in their Sunday services, and launched language and culture classes in September 2013.

“We felt that we were meant to do that,” he said.

He has enjoyed his new life in Perth, having met with his predecessor, Canon Christine Piper, during an impromptu visit back to the community recently. He knows that he was called to Perth too, but, settling back into his chair, he smiles and says, “though not quite knowing why.”

“That was a good lesson for our guys,” said McLean. “That’s a game we could have won…We weren’t prepared.

The team is now in second place, one point behind the Stittsville Rams. They have eight wins so far this season, with one loss and one shoot out loss.

For McLean, playing the likes of Casselman – and the Winchester Hawks, again for the first time in living memory, at the Perth arena tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 9, at 7:30 p.m. – is part of what is making this 2015-16 season so much fun.

“We’re loving playing these new teams,” he said. “The league was getting stale. You play Almonte three times, you play Arnprior six times.”

They will play Winchester four times this year and they take on the Athens Aeros this coming Sunday, Oct. 11 at 7:30 p.m., the first time they have done so, McLean believes, since the 1970s.

Local skating coach brings flagship program techniques home STAFF

CanSkate is the flagship Learn to Skate program offered by Skate Canada and on May 26 and 27 Lise Drummond, a Perth Figure Skating Club coach, was honored to be selected to attend the 2015 Skate Canada CanSkate University Program.

Drummond said she was fortunate to be one of nine coaches from across the country to be offered the all-expense paid opportunity to attend in Winnipeg, Man. The CanSkate University is an intense developmental program for coaches that already deliver high quality programs and want to further enhance their skills.

This is the evolution of the Best of the Best Program offered by Skate Canada in previous years.

During the training session in Winnipeg, the coaches focused on effective coaching strategies, creating new circuits, effective ice usage, training ideas for program assistants and ideas to motivate and engage all skaters.

Drummond also had the opportunity to participate in a live CanSkate session with young skaters in Winnipeg.

A year after the official launch, the new CanSkate program is gearing up for another exciting season. Feedback on the new program has been very positive.

Skaters love the action, music and fun, parents love the continuous movement and remarkable improvement of their children and coaches love the effectiveness and efficiency of the sessions’ format and circuits.

The session includes a warm up, les-

son circuit rotation, group activities and a cool down. The session focuses on speed, flexibility and quality basic skating skills. The teaching circuits allow for gradual progressions and therefore higher quality of skills.

“We love to build a strong foundation for our skaters,” she said.

Drummond said she believes the key to a successful and rewarding life is finding that special something that you love to do and for her that’s being on the ice and teaching children to skate.

Drummond said she loves each CanSkate session because she can see the excitement that the skaters bring.

“It is very fulfilling to have the ability to help students achieve their best, and to watch each of our skaters grow and watch their accomplishments, big and small, as they develop their skating skills,” she said.

The mission of the Perth Figure Skating Club is to engage children’s interest in skating and help develop their future on the ice, whether it is in figure skating, hockey, ringette or speed skating.

“We strive to develop an environment that is happy, energetic, healthy, and inspiring for all of our skaters.”

The PreCanSkate program runs on Saturday mornings from 8:30 to 9 a.m. and the CanSkate program is offered from 9 to 10 a.m.

The Perth Figure Skating Club is always accepting new registrations and they look forward to instilling the love of skating and happiness in all they teach on the ice.

“Only the best can bring out their best.”

The streets of Lanark Highlands were busier than usual on Sunday, Oct. 4 as dozens of runners participated in the fifth annual Scarlet Run event. Runners raced in either the 5 km event or the half marathon event, with kids racing in a 1 km route. The race was hosted by the local Civitan Club and benefits the local community. Clockwise from top left: Participants in the half marathon event prepare to start their 21km trek; 11-year-old Max Benda sprints to the finish line to win the 1 km kids’ race; Rosa Cleroux gets off to a great start during the 1 km kids’ race; and Petra Vanderspank, 4, Bronwyn Peden, 4, and Jack Vanderspank, 6, prepare for their 1 km race.

Playwright Israel Horovitz spent four years re-working one of his favourite scripts between 2010 and 2014. Then, he got together a small cast to turn it into a film – Dame Maggie Smith, Kevin Kline and Kristen Scott Thomas.

That film pleased him so much that he decided to rewrite the stage play based on the movie script. The new version of the play was published early in 2015 and Perth’s BarnDoor Productions will be presenting the first Canadian production of it.

My Old Lady first reached the stage in 2006, not on Broadway but in Darmstadt, Germany. That may seem odd because it’s an American play, written in English, about a man finding himself in Paris, but it’s not too surprising when you realize that Horovitz’s 70-plus plays have been translated into more than 30 languages and performed around the world. In 2009, the 70-70 Horovitz Project took place: 70 of Horovitz’ plays were performed in 20 countries to celebrate his 70th birthday. Among other honours, he is the recipient of the Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres, France’s highest literary honour.

My Old Lady is one of Horovitz’ personal favourites. It’s a simple comedy about a man and two women whom he meets in a land that is foreign to him.

The Wall Street Journal said, “Nothing especially surprising happens, any more than it does in a Mozart symphony.”

And, that’s the beauty of this play: it’s an exquisite piece of jewelry created by a master craftsman.

BarnDoor Productions’ (BDP) cast includes two veterans and one newcomer. Nancy Browman will be making her Full Circle Theatre (FCT) debut (she did appear in BDP’s The Chimes in 2009) as Chloé, a French woman living with her mother at 59-years-old. James Benda, last seen at FCT as the chilling Manningham in 2014’s Gaslight, is Mathias, or just Jim, a New Yorker who hopes to find a new life in an inherited Paris apartment. The title role of the old lady is taken by Donna Bourgeault, from 2013’s The 39 Steps, playing Mathilde, a 90 (or is it 92?) year-old woman who has as many secrets as birthdays.

It’s the ongoing dialogue between these characters and the revelation of the past that makes the show a rivetting piece of theatre and one that is very different. It’s a comedy, right enough, but it also has an underlying current of real thought. Horovitz considers it a tribute and thank-you to Paris and to France, where he is the most produced American playwright.

My Old Lady will run Oct. 16, 17, 22, 23, 24 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 18 and 25 at 2 p.m. at the Full Circle Theatre, 26 Craig Street, Perth, near Last Duel Park. Tickets are $20 reserved; $22 at the door; students are just $10.

My Old Lady is just the first of a set of exciting productions in BarnDoor’s 21st season. Following at the end of November will be another premiere, this time of a new adaptation of a 1936 movie that is billed as a “holiday farce.”

February will see BDP’s first play by David Mamet, when A Life In The The-

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it may be challenging to express your true feelings, especially when you fear what others may think. Just do what feels comfortable to you.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Take a sentimental journey with a loved one, Taurus. You never know what examining your emotions will uncover, and you will get to spend quality time together.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone this week. Your gift for gab makes you a fun person to have around and a welcome member to any new group.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, someone may catch you off guard this week and you don’t have your go-to plan in place. Worry not, as you will rebound quickly and bounce back in a big way.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, it may seem like everyone is hanging on every word you say this week. Don’t worry about performing, just continue to do what gravitates people toward you.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, although you’re not a big fan of the spotlight, this week you will be asked to handle a situation on center stage. You just may enjoy the situation, so don’t fret about it.

Connected to Your Community A/CP/K/P/SF - 42 - Thursday, October 8, 2015

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, share your long-term goals with colleagues and you may find some unexpected allies. Support can only help your efforts even further.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, set personal feelings aside when dealing with professional matters. Allowing emotion to get in the way of your goals will only end up affecting you.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, this is a great time to try something new. Whether it’s a new food or a new experience you’ve been looking to try, dive right in and enjoy the excitement.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, expect to be excited by a budding relationship in the weeks ahead. Open up to friends or family members so you can share this positive development with loved ones.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Waiting patiently this week will not get the job done, Aquarius.

You may have to be more assertive to get things done. Others will understand and prove helpful.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, a problem at work seems tough to crack. Take your time and try a new approach, and you will be happy with the results.

DEATH NOTICE

Margaret Helen Duncan died the morning of Saturday, October 3, 2015. She had struggled for the past few years with the challenges of dementia. At the end, she was a shell of her former self, enjoying the few small pleasures that are left to those getting from one day to the next in the small world in which very old and ill people are often forced to live. Helen’s parents, Peggy and Jack Duncan of Peterborough, Ontario, died many years ago as did her only sibling, her brother, Ronald Duncan (Mary), of London, Ontario. Born in Estevan, Saskatchewan (May 19, 1929), Helen moved to Peterborough, Ontario as a child. It was there she met and, in 1949, married Charles James Helmes of Sydenham, Ontario. Helen and Charlie lived in Peterborough and Belleville before moving to Ottawa in 1962. They had four children — Rick (Pamela), Geoff (Nancy), Melanie (Mike Shurben) and Kyle (Helene), but divorced after nearly three decades together. She never remarried and for the rest of her life pursued her own interests. She lived and worked for awhile in Ottawa before moving, first, to Smiths Falls, and, finally, to Carleton Place. She lived at the Carleton Place Manor for a few years moving subsequently to Stoneridge Manor, and passed the final months of her life in their care. The family would like to thank the nurses, doctors and other staff who helped her — and us — to make the last years of her life as pleasant as possible. Helen liked art and design and for a number of years worked at an art gallery and for a couple of years ran a couple of small dress shops in Ottawa. Like her mother, she was a talented artisan who took great pleasure and showed great skill at various crafts: knitting, sewing, needlepoint, brass, mosaic tile, etc. to create personal heirlooms for members of the family. She will be remembered with love and fondness by her children, grandchildren (Kevin, Graham, Jessica, Ian, Jim, Christine (Fady), Sarah and Leah) and great-grandchildren (Charlee, Sawyer, Owen, and Conner). A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 10, 2015 at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Avenue, Carleton Place. Visitation beginning at 1:00. Service at 2:30 in the chapel.

Mom loved to paint and sew in the winter months and garden with Dad in the summer. The two were inseparable, spending their time together and going out to various local venues.
