Turner is new face on council Desmond Devoy

Honouring fallen soldiers

Community - From left, Perth Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244 members Terry O’Hearn, public relations officer, Bill McKenzie, and Major General Clive Addy (retired), formed an honour guard in front of the cenotaph at the Perth hospital on Tuesday morning, in memory of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, and Corporal Nathan Cirillo, whose funeral was taking place in Hamilton at the same time. More on P2.

News – Former rock musician Riq Turner is the only new face for the new council session. In what was one of the more quiet election nights in the Ottawa Valley, all of the incumbents on Perth town council who were seeking re-election were reelected, leaving only Coun. Beth Peterkin’s seat vacant as she had decided not to seek re-election. “I’m just glad that it was that word beside my name: elected,” said Turner after seeing the results on Monday night. “I’m excited. I can’t wait to get to work.” He said that all of the incumbent members of council, including Mayor John Fenik and Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, who were both acclaimed, “are all good people. All of us have what is best for Perth in mind.” The unofficial numbers released were: Jim Boldt – 1,122; Judy Brown – 1,201; Jim Graff – 1,223; Ed McPherson – 1,307; Riq Turner – 1,023 Turner conceded that, while he had the lowest vote count amongst the elected candidates “it’s very, very hard to unseat an incumbent. You are fighting an uphill battle.” Turner’s main political experience had come from sitting on the citizen’s committee which got a splash pad installed at Conlon Farm. He beat off challenges from two other contenders with strong political pedigrees, former

councillor Mike Mosher and Donna Silver, who was an assistant to prominent former Ottawa city councillor Clive Doucet. “It was a daunting task going up against a former politician and someone with political experience from Ottawa…I took nothing for granted,” he said. “What set me apart was that I have a young family. (Now) there will be somebody who think like they (young families) do,” he said. But he promised not to just focus on one segment of the population. “It’s not just a town of seniors. It’s not just a town of small children (and families),” he said. “It’s everybody.” The evening results were posted in the council chambers at town hall, and the first sitting councillor to congratulate Turner was Jim Graff. “It’s nice to have this time over,” said Graff, with the election period over. About the new council session due to begin with the swearing in on Tuesday, Dec. 2, Graff said, “I’m really looking forward to it,” especially planning for the town’s 200th anniversary in 2016. He promised that he, like other incumbents, would work for all of the people of Perth, whether they voted for him or not. “We can do anything we want,” if the people are utilized, he said, pointing to the splash pad committee as one example. “I’m very humbled that I got the support I got,” Graff said of his re-election.

15 LOUIS STREET, BROCKVILLE

Ministry of Education added to civil action involving local bus company

Report released On March 29, 2012, the same day the task force released its report, the MOE released a memo directing school boards to move forward with the RFP. STEO released the RFP on Sept. 24, 2012 and it was set to close on Nov. 26, 2012, despite the fact contracts did not need to be in place until September 2013. The seven plaintiffs then went to court in October 2012

and asked for an interlocutory injunction to stop the RFP. “(This all started) when unfounded assumptions were made about the nature of the business relationship,” said Karen Cameron, executive director of ISBOA. “This story is happening all across Ontario. The school bus operators have won six times in court. Every judge, so far, has sided with these operators.” The ISBOA was formed in the fall of 2008 and is comprised of 120 independent bus companies across Ontario, including the seven plaintiffs in this case. “These bus companies had a cooperative and efﬁcient working relationship with the boards prior to the implementation of the RFP,” said Cameron. Cameron said it all started in 2009 with the RFP pilot projects. She explained if you have 40 companies with contracts and you only choose three or four to win the RFP, then you have essentially wiped out 36 or 37 family businesses. “If you were an existing school bus company, and a lot of them had owned their companies for 40 or 50 years, school bus companies were wiped out overnight,” said Cameron. Cameron said that by any comparison the school bus companies are already providing competitive service. She said any cost savings incurred through the RFP has been shown to be temporary and will come directly off the backs of the drivers, who on average make barely more than minimum wage, despite the intense training and licensing necessary to operate a bus. Cameron said the court date was set for Sept. 17, 2014, but more documents were uncovered concerning the MOE’s involvement, which would in all likelihood push the court date back until late fall 2015. Cameron said the system worked for operators and school boards before because small and medium sized bus companies have their names on the side of their buses, which instilled pride in their safety standards. “Some of those drivers have

300 kids in the course of the day they have to get back to their parents and they are working for $13 an hour, but the government thinks it can get a better deal by going to RFP,” said Cameron. Wheeler said the Broader Public Sector (BPS) Procurement Directive under the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act, 2010, includes procurement guidelines to support the acquisition of goods and services across Ontario’s broader public sector. He explained the directive ensures services are purchased in a fair, open, transparent and accountable manner. “In using an open and fair competitive processes, this directive supports equal treatment of all vendors,” stated Wheeler in an email. “The BPS ProcureR0012943358/1023

News – Valley Bus Lines Ltd. is one of seven plaintiffs in an ongoing civil suit against Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario, (STEO). On Sept. 5, the Ministry of Education, (MOE), was added to the civil action as a defendant alongside STEO. The MOE had been granted intervener status in the case in February 2013, which allowed for the full participation of its lawyers. The case arises from proposed changes to the way STEO awards bus route contracts, which involves a Request for Proposal (RFP) designed by the MOE. The plaintiffs argue that the RFP will favour larger bus companies and put many of the smaller companies out of business. “We are doing this to ensure fairness,” said John Vingerhoeds, director of Valley Bus Lines. Valley Bus Lines is a family owned school bus and charter company operating out of Kemptville. It employs roughly 100 people, including ofﬁce staff, drivers and mechanics and transports almost 3,000 children daily. The six other plaintiffs include Highland Bus Services, Barr Bus Lines Ltd., Clark Bus & Marina Ltd., Healey Transportation Ltd., Premier Bus Lines Inc. and Whitteker Bus Lines Ltd. All of the plaintiffs have served Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, Stormont and Dundas counties for decades. According to Gary Wheeler, senior media relations co-ordinator for the MOE, the province is funding a percentage of the legal costs that STEO incurred in litigation. To date, the province has contributed $1.47 million. STEO was established by the school boards, which include the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario and the Upper Canada District School Board of Eastern Ontario, as an unincorporated association in 2009. STEO was incorporated on Oct. 25, 2011, replacing the two school boards as the sole party with whom opera-

tors would contract. In the past, operators servicing the school boards collectively negotiated contracts with STEO, including how much profit operators could earn each year. During the negotiations, STEO was provided with operators’ confidential business information, which it used to determine a fair price for services. “The way it used to be done, with three or four people in a room, worked,” said Vingerhoeds. “It was open book. They (STEO) knew the costs for everything. We couldn’t have pulled the wool over their eyes. It was a fair process, but to go to an RFP that is flawed and having no one accountable to discuss it in good faith and have a look at it, something had to be done.” Between January 2009 and March 2011, several pilot RFP projects were conducted in Ontario, which showed problems with the RFP system and caused operators to lose their businesses. The Honourable Coulter Osborne, former Associate Chief Justice of Ontario, was asked to review the RFP process by the Independent School Bus Operators Association (ISBOA). The MOE approached ISBOA and asked if Osborne could chair a task force, whose purpose would be to review the problems with the RFP. The task force found that there were serious problems with the RFP, including the risk of creating monopolies. The task force recommended that the moratorium on RFPs should be extended beyond the deadline of September 2013 and an independent, third party expert should review the RFP process.

ment Directive outlines competitive procurement requirements for school boards, as well as hospitals, colleges, universities and other publicly-funded organizations for purchases of $100,000 or more.” Wheeler said the MOE is also moving forward with the government’s commitment to conduct an independent review of the competitive procurement for student transportation. “This review will look at current competitive procurement practices and student transportation RFPs to identify best business practices and opportunities for improvement in competitive procurement,” stated Wheeler. “It will also explore options other than RFPs for competitive procurement of student trans-

portation that are in compliance with the BPS Procurement Directive for the consideration of the school board sector in Ontario.” Wheeler said the review is currently underway and is expected to be completed by December 2014. It is being chaired by Colin Campbell, a retired Justice of the Ontario Superior Court, who practiced for over 31 years in civil and corporate commercial ﬁelds at all levels of courts and regulatory tribunals across Canada. “The chair will ensure impartiality, openness and transparency of the review process,” stated Wheeler. STEO was contacted for comment, but did not respond to several emails.

Grand finale of My Town’s Got Talent set for Nov. 1 in Smiths Falls Community – The waiting is nearly over for the 15 semi-finalist performers, as well as the host and design finalists for this year’s grand finale of My Town’s Got Talent (MTGT). On Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. they all take to the stage at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre in Smiths Falls for what will be a great night of entertainment. “This past Saturday we had the last of our mentoring sessions for the fantastic young talented contestants in this year’s production,” according to Christy Bindhardt, artistic director, “and I have to say that this year’s finale will be truly spectacular. All of the semi-finalists have a real chance at winning, and we have three great young people trying to be the best host in the county. Coupled with the announcement of our design contest winner, it will be an exciting evening for the audience!” The finale, presented by Metroland Media along with Town and Country Chrysler and the Gallipeau will involve celebrity judges, with help through an online poll from fans in the county, to select the five finalists. Once again, the evening will feature the audience voting for the overall winner from those five finalists, with the performing winner receiving a prize package that includes donations from VIA Rail

and the Fairmont Royal York Hotel of two return tickets from Smiths Falls to Toronto and two nights’ accommodation at the hotel. They join sponsors Lake 88.1, The Valley Players, L-D Tool and Die and the Perth-Upon-Tay Royal Canadian Legion Branch 244 in supporting MTGT. Bindhardt noted that “During the event, the audience will also vote for the top host from three finalists, and we will announce the winner of the design contest.” “This year, our mentoring sessions where held over two days, where acclaimed musical director and performer Michael Gareau of Ottawa, who is currently directing the upcoming Orpheus production of Fiddler on the Roof taking place from Nov. 21 to 30 at Centrepointe Theatre,” continued Bindhardt. “Michael worked with all the performers, hosts and design contestants to offer advice and guidance on how to take their performances to a winning level.” The mentoring sessions took place at the YAK Youth Centre in Perth and the Carleton Place & District Centre in Carleton Place over the past two weekends. “What really impressed me was the dedication and effort that all of these young performers showed me,” commented Gareau. “They

came well prepared and were willing to listen to the suggestions I had on how they could improve their performance for the finale. Very, very talented, and I look forward to being in the audience on Saturday to see the winners!” In addition to the performance and host winners, on Saturday MTGT will also announce the design contest winner for a new logo for the Human Library Project, sponsored by the United Way and the five libraries in Lanark County – Perth, Mississippi Mills, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, and Lanark Highlands. “This was an exciting new venture for the community last year, and we have three strong designs competing to be the logo for the spring 2015 edition of the project,” said Fraser Scantlebury, show producer and executive director of the United Way Lanark County. “The winning designer’s logo will appear on all the posters and website/social media publicity with the winner being chosen by a panel made up of our librarians and a local Almonte artist, Jeff Banks.” This year will mark the fifth and final edition of MTGT in its current format. “We have had a wonderful run and have had more than 200 youth in Lanark County come out to our auditions over the years,” noted

Scantlebury. “The talent in Lanark County is absolutely wonderful, and having our finale at Smiths Falls’ gorgeously restored Gallipeau Centre Theatre is a wonderful way to end. Admission to the event is by donation, so it is open to everyone, and we hope to have a really big audience this year – there are lots of seats at the theatre.” It was a hard decision to make this the final year of the current version of MTGT. “We looked at the experience of the show, and the changes in talent show events over the years, and feel that there needs to be a new idea or process,” commented Scantlebury. He went on to say, “we will be talking with our partners at the youth centres in Lanark County to see if there is more new ways to approach how to reach out to talented youth in the county – so stay tuned for details in 2015!” As in previous years, the event is in support of the United Way Lanark County annual fall campaign. All donations at the door for the finale will go towards the United Way’s Youth Initiatives in Lanark County, supporting the United Way’s five youth centre member agencies. “This is an excellent opportunity for the county to see what our youth member agencies do for the young people in their communities,” said

Johann Ramsaran, chair of the board of the United Way Lanark County. “All five – Carleton Place Youth Centre, Lanark Highlands Youth Centre, YAK Youth Centre in Perth, Smiths Falls and District Youth Centre, and Take Young People Seriously (TYPS) Youth Centre from Mississippi Mills – helped out at the auditions and will also be at the finale. Community members will have the opportunity to meet youth from each centre, and learn about what their local youth centre is doing in their community.” In addition, youth from the Smiths Falls and District Youth Centre will have a canteen open during the event, with all proceeds going to the United Way. “Once again, it’s now up to folks in the county to come out to the show on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. to see the wonderful talent of the county, a few surprises, and to vote for their favorite performer and host and to get a taste for what you will see, just go to www.mtgt.org, check out the videos and cast advance votes for your favorite – then we hope to see you in Smiths Falls this Saturday to vote at the finale!” said Bindhardt. For additional information, contact the United Way at 613-2539074. Submitted by United Way Lanark County.

Above, more than 1,300 student athletes in grades 4 to 8 were in attendance and represented schools from all across the board. This event is part of the Upper Canada Sports League, a board league offering the chance for Upper Canada District School Board students to compete in soccer, basketball, volleyball, track and field and cross-country running. The league was created as part of efforts to increase the wellness of our students by encouraging a love of sports and fitness.

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

The event was hosted by Lanark County Social Housing, Kelford Youth Services and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and it brought together agencies and municipal representatives from across the region that have a vested interest in eradicating homelessness in this area. A representative of CMHC explained that organization is the national housing authority for the federal government and helps Canadians to meet their housing needs. “Housing is fundamental and is the foundation of strong and resilient communities here in Lanark County.” She noted the most vulnerable in society are often hidden. “They are couch surfing or living in cars or tents

or, worse yet, forced to flee their community to urban centres where there is the promise of shelter and supports.” Emily Hollington, a Lanark County social housing caseworker, outlined some of the challenges of tracking homelessness in this community, where there is no formal shelter system. “We hope today will engage the entire community in a collaborative effort to end rural homelessness,” she said. She also reviewed key aspects of Lanark County’s 10-Year Housing and Homelessness Plan, which was developed with wide consultation and data collection. Its vision is for a county “where residents have access to safe and healthy homes that help to build strong local communities.” The plan, which was approved this year and will be updated annually, sets out strategies for increased

access to housing, ending homelessness, addressing issues around nonprofit housing wait times, continuing programs through the private market (rent support, homeownership and Renovate Lanark), coordinating with community services and addressing issues around environmental sustainability. Hollington also outlined goals for the future, such as continuing the work of the Lanark County Housing Coalition to address local issues, share information and develop plans and programs; as well as establishing a group to address the issue of hoarding. “We also want to ensure Lanark County council has current information so it can continue to advocate on local housing and homelessness issues, and we want to increase the housing services profile by considering gaps in services and create partnerships that provide innovative programs,” Hol-

lington stated. The group then heard from two young people who have experienced homelessness and who participated in the Youth Action March held on Oct. 17 to raise awareness on rural youth homelessness. In the morning, a panel discussion took place that featured a range of speakers. The first to speak was Leigh Bursey, a Brockville city councillor and advocate for non-profit housing, who discussed changing the ideology behind homelessness and what it looks like and how affordable housing can be a significant economic driver in communities. Tom Greening, executive director of Home Base Housing in Kingston, outlined the services offered and described how youth homelessness differs from adult homelessness. He described the reasons for youth homelessness and some of the ways

his organization plans to identify and combat it. Laura Mainella, a housing and homelessness support outreach worker for CORE Youth Services, described the services offered by the organization, which meets with youth across the county to address their immediate concerns. This can include emergency shelter, food, clothing or referrals to agencies that can help with mental health or addiction issues. She emphasized collaboration with other agencies to better meet those needs. Julie McKercher, a community developer working in rural Ottawa, works with residents and community groups to identify challenges and assets and to find ways to solve community issues. She is co-chair of the Rural Youth Housing and Homelessness Working Group, which is part See FORUM page 9

travelling “uPod”, the audience is transported into the past. Dr. McKenzie (Mark Piper) and Ethel McKenzie (Heather Douglas) are supported by an 11-member chorus in a series of flashbacks highlighting the achievements of Dr. McKenzie in the fields of medicine, rehabilitation therapy, physical education and art. When playwright Martin delved deeper into the life and times of this distinguished local figure, she began to learn more about his many accomplishments. “He truly was a Renaissance man,” says Martin, “with interests in a variety of fields – everything from gymnastics to botany, Greek mythology to mytocology. It’s no wonder that he achieved international recognition for his work in three fields of endeavour – medicine, teaching and art.” If you are interested in learning more about the lives of Dr. R. Tait McKenzie and his wife, Ethel, come out to this performance. You may not find “dirt”, but you will find the truth about this remarkable Canadian man.

Commentary

Rising to the challenge

ear is a powerful thing. If there is one thing that those living in Ottawa and those across the country should guard against in the wake of the tragic shooting that took place on Parliament Hill last week, it is giving in to fear. While very young children are often afraid of nothing, we all learn to fear something at a very early age. Fear for adults is often the consequence of a lack of understanding. If we don’t comprehend what something means, or what its motives might be, we tend to fear it. Despite exposure to the threat of global terrorism over the past decade and a half, Canada had up until last week been fortunate in that it had not been forced to confront terror on its own soil. Those days are now over, and we now begin the process of coming to terms with the reality of terrorism. Now is the time when fear can begin to manifest itself. As a city and as a country, we need to resist the temptation to give in to fear.

Adventure in milk house leaves kids not wanting to go back Lifestyle – We had many favourite spots to play when I was a little girl growing up on a farm, but I think one of my favourites was the old milk house at the farm next door to us.

After a few questions we found out that someone saw a couple of bats swirling around in the milk house and according to her, they came swooping down ready to plunge into her hair, which we all thought was the main mission of a bat in those days. Tub reported he saw the bats going into the attic through a small hole near the ceiling. It was one of the few outbuildings on the farm that had an attic...most were wide open to the roof. But Aunt Bertha had the attic put in and she stored all sorts of things up there she couldn’t get into the house.

Now is not the time to shrink from the challenges now facing us. Shutting up shop, curtailing freedoms, stoking fearful sentiments - such actions will not help Canada confront terror. The threat of terror is now upon us, so we must now act. To borrow from Helen Keller, who showed remarkable courage despite having much to fear in her life, “Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.” Canadians must resist being fearful. We must be mindful, but we must not be afraid. Soldiers should not fear walking our streets in uniform. If our boldest guardians are afraid, we are surely lost. Our political leaders must not be afraid. Now is the time for strong leadership that protects the citizens of Canada while maintaining the rights and freedoms that are integral to our national identity. These are stern tests of our character, but now is time for bravery to shine through and banish fear to the shadows.

them senseless with a baseball bat. He didn’t volunteer and neither did any of the other boys standing outside the milk house. To suggest one of us girls go up was beyond comprehension. And then everyone’s eye turned to Tub. He seemed to be afraid of nothing. I recalled the day he picked up a grass snake by the tail and whirled it over his head. I couldn’t fathom anyone being so fearless. My brother Everett suggested Tub go into the attic. About 10 heads nodded in agreement. Tub bobbed his head up and down too, just like he was in his right mind. Everett got the old wood ladder and propped it up against the beams. I was too scared to go in the milk house, but we had a perfect view from the window at the side. There was Tub crawling up the ladder with his eyes cast to the ceiling. I took one look at Tub, and a look at the little door, and it didn’t take a genius to figure

of Child and Youth Health Network of Eastern Ontario, and they are inviting anyone who is interested to participate in their group. Nichole Anderson, executive director of the Susan Shirley program and Grace’s Haven, outlined the residential maternity home in Smiths Falls that is dedicated to supporting young, at-risk new mothers or mothers-to-be. The programs provide housing, parenting skills, training options and transitional support.

out it was going to be a very tight fit. He lifted the door and shoved it along the floor of the attic and stuck his head into the cavity. One more rung on the ladder and his shoulders would be inside. He filled every square inch of the opening and his arms were hanging by his sides, as if someone had nailed them to his rib cage. We heard him yell to one of the boys to give him a push. Everett climbed up the ladder and placed one of Tub’s feet and then the other on each shoulder. Everett pushed upwards with all his might, but Tub wouldn’t budge an inch. He was starting to yell that he was suffocating. The two of them must have struggled for 20 minutes and it was soon obvious that Tub wasn’t going to move. Emerson had a flash of insight and suggested the ladder be moved to the outside of the building, around to the little window and someone could crawl in there and push Tub downwards, since it was obvious to all he certainly wasn’t going to be going up. Everett jumped off the ladder

servatory on Homeless and the Homeless Hub, highlighted the need for an affordable housing strategy. In the afternoon Dr. Gaetz again took the floor as the keynote speaker. His address began by highlighting adolescent development and how society has changed, which is affecting expectations about jobs and leaving home. “The fact is, homeless youth exist in every community, not just cities,” he said. “If you think someone chooses to be homeless, you don’t have to care. Homelessness is not fun. People don’t choose to be homeless.” Dr. Gaetz outlined the path to youth homelessness and stressed the importance of keeping young

after removing Tub’s feet and in a flash they had the ladder out the door and around the side of the building. We girls were still glued to the window, and let me tell you it was a funny sight to see Tub hanging out of the ceiling with his gum rubbers and overalls looking like they were nailed to the roof with no body attached. We heard Emerson lift the window and then heard him pounding across the floor of the attic. We heard muffled conversation, but both boys were yelling, so we couldn’t make out what either was saying. There was a great ‘whoosh’ and the next thing we saw was poor old Tub shoot out of that hole in the attic like a big bag of grain. It was most unfortunate that no one thought of going outside to retrieve the ladder so that he could dismount with some dignity. As it was he hit the floor like a boulder, rattling the windows and raising the dust from the boards. I thought he was dead. He lay there a couple of minutes with his eyes glassed over and one

people connected to their communities so that they have some supports and connections, such as family, friends and school. “The path to adult homelessness often begins in childhood, so it is important to provide supports so that young people can move into adulthood in a safe way.” He said giving them time is often the most important factor. He explained the need to focus on prevention and provide supports quickly to reduce the need for emergency response. Collaboration with agencies, working with families to solve conflicts, and finding leadership at all levels of government are important steps, he said.

gum rubber about l0 feet from his body. Emerson’s head was poking out of the attic door and no one said a word. Poor old Tub started to move. He rubbed his hands up and down his body to see if there were any missing parts, then he rolled over, got up on his knees and slowly stood to a standup position. He reached out for his

other boot, walked towards the door and without as much as a by-your-leave, headed right out the lane to the Northcote Side Road. Not once did he turn to look back.

What a POA is … and isn’t You’ve been asked by a relative or close friend to be their Power of Attorney (POA) – and you feel honoured because it means that person considers you to be trustworthy and capable. But what is a POA in the first place? A power of attorney is a legal document where one person (called the donor) gives authority to another person (called the attorney) to manage some or all of the donor’s financial affairs while they are alive. There’s no doubt that when one person (the ‘donor’) gives another person (the ‘attorney’) POA over his or her assets, the donor is placing a significant amount of trust in the attorney and this could make the donor vulnerable to abuse. In an Enduring POA, an attorney has the power to act on behalf of the donor if the donor becomes mentally incompetent, making the donor even more vulnerable to abuse if the attorney is not honest and trustworthy. In Québec, once a person’s mental incapacity is established, the attorney (known as a ‘mandatary’ in Québec) acts under the provisions of a homologated mandate - meaning the mandatory has been legally recognized by a Court of Law to act as the representative of the donor (known as the ‘mandator’ in Québec). When you are acting under a POA, you are that donor’s attorney and have

Manage Your Money an obligation to act only in the donor’s best interests, not yours. If, as attorney, you instigate an action that is in your best interests rather than the donor’s, that is a conflict of interest. Here are a few examples of actions that would breach the duty of an attorney: • Adding the attorney or a family member as a joint owner of the donor’s property so the assets passes outside the estate and go directly to the surviving joint owner. (In Québec, there is no right of survivorship on jointly-held property.) • Adding the attorney or a family member as a direct beneficiary of a registered asset or life insurance policy so the funds will be paid directly to that beneficiary and not to the donor’s estate. (In Québec, direct beneficiary designations are only effective on insurance products.) • Distributing the donor’s assets to the attorney or family members prior to the death of the donor (although some jurisdictions do allow attorneys to make small gifts from time to time). In some cases, the justification for carrying out actions like those described above, has been to save

probate fees – however, probate fees are extremely low throughout Canada and should not be used as an excuse to drive these actions. In fact, adding joint owners and direct beneficiaries may be bad financial planning in many cases. Instead, it is often more advisable to have the assets distributed through the estate, which may provide a more equitable distribution and more tax-planning opportunities. As an attorney you are accountable for actions done on behalf of the donor and could be asked by the court to account for all transactions made as an attorney. Seek advice from a lawyer and your professional advisor to help ensure that you stay on side.

Mudds’ Youth Theatre actors did well with dialogue heavy A Midsummer Night’s Dream Jeff Maguire

Arts – The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre in Carleton Place recently presented Shakespeare’s well-known comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream and they deserve credit for stickhandling through such a lengthy, dialogue heavy production. The young actors did a good job of staging the classic comedy (circa 1590) which is one of English poet and playwright William Shakespeare’s most popular productions. It is presented regularly around the world. There was a good crowd on hand for opening night (Oct. 17) in the historic town hall auditorium. There were two performances (matinee and evening) on Oct. 18 and a matinee finale Oct. 19. Mudds Youth Theatre first began staging productions here in 2009. In fall 2011 the then fledgling company presented Shakespeare’s ‘Macbeth’, a very difficult assignment. Last October they did a good job on another of the prolific writer’s best-known plays Othello. The notes in the show handout state that A Midsummer Night’s Dream was “probably written as private entertainment for English nobility.” It then went out of fashion for much of the 17th and 18th centuries. But in the first half of the 19th century it was revived and used as a vehicle for grand theat-

rical spectacles. The theme of the play is the immaturity of young love and the large ego of actors. This was a contemporary version of the play with most of the actors wearing street clothes – modern apparel. So the audience has to get used to that from the outset. As with the two previous Shakespearean productions staged by the Mudds Youth Theatre this was presented in the round. The disadvantage is that without microphones to boost the sound the voices of some of the young cast were unintelligible at times, especially if their backs were turned. I heard that complaint from several audience members during intermission and afterwards. It’s something that should be considered should there be a decision taken to mount similar productions in future. It is impossible to outline this entire (lengthy) story in one short review. A Midsummer Night’s Dream outlines the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus (played here by veteran youth actress Hayley Fortier) to Hippolyta (Jasmine Coleman) Queen of the Amazons. One handicap this troupe has is finding enough male actors to fill the roles. That presents an additional challenge for actors such as Fortier who, I have to say, dealt with the matter admirably. Complex story

The plotline features the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of six amateur actors. They are manipulated (controlled might be a better word) by fairies who inhabit the forest where much of the play takes place. In a departure for Mudds Youth Theatre productions costumers had to work very hard to produce the fairies garments which were very professionally done, as are all the costumes in Mississippi Mudds’ presentations. There are actually three separate stories involved here, all of which are tied together by the wedding. Peter Quince (Kate Bains) and his fellow actors are planning a play to be offered at the wedding. Meanwhile the King of the Fairies Oberon (well played by Sean Patton), and his estranged Queen Titania (Emilie Ritchie) have also come to the forest outside Athens. Oberon seeks to punish Titania by enlisting the aid of Robin ‘Puck’ Goodfellow (played here by the excellent Maddy Martin) to concoct a magical juice which, when applied to the eyelids of a sleeping person, makes them fall in love with the first living thing they see upon waking. At the same time Lysander (Callum LeRoy) and Hermia (Maleeka Thaker) have gone to the forest in hopes of eloping. Hermia’s father Egeus (Amber

Berndt) had demanded that she marry Demetrius (Molly Cooney) who is the love object of Helena (Lydia Charron). Yes, it is very complicated and I can’t begin to untwist the complex plot in this space! But when Titania awakes, under the spell of the potion, the first creature she sees is Nick Bottom (the outstanding Katie Irvine), who is generally described as “the most ridiculous of Athenian craftsmen.” Puck has transformed his head into that of an ass. For some period Titania dotes on Bottom (and his strange head). Eventually the love potion finds its way to Lysander’s eyelids and that results in a turnaround that saves all the young lovers from going in the wrong direction. Theseus and Hippolyta discover the couples sleeping in the forest and take them back to Athens to be married. Demetrius now loves Helena and Lysander hooks up with Hermia. Following a group wedding the lovers watch Bottom and his

fellow craftsmen perform their play which is a fumbling, frantic and hilarious version of the story of Pyramus and Thisbe. Irvine did double duty as Pyramus while Thisbe was portrayed by Levi Albert who also played another character, Francis Flute. In the final scene the lovers go to bed only to have the fairies reemerge to bless them with a protective charm before disappearing. Only Puck remains to ask the audience for forgiveness and approval as well as to urge those watching to remember the play as if it has all been a dream. I was especially enamored of the work offered by the charming Miss Martin as Puck and by the efforts of the incredibly energetic Irvine (Bottom/Pyramus). I can’t touch on all the characters in what was a cast of 21 individuals. I read A Midsummer Night’s Dream in high school. But I had to familiarize myself with the play all over again in order to write this review. One suggestion I would of-

fer is that the plotline should be summarized in more detail in the handout given to audience members. There was only a very short paragraph in the program on this occasion. As a result audience members who are familiar with the story (parents and senior Mudds members for example) applauded and laughed while many others in the crowd were silent because evidently they were unable to follow the complex storyline. In conclusion I want to congratulate director Mark Piper and producer Wendy Jewell for the hard work they did (along with all of the backstage folks) to bring this young troupe together and coach them through an extremely complex and wordy play. Clearly a lot of effort went into this production. For complete information on the Mississippi Mudds and their upcoming shows, visit the website: www.mississippimudds.ca.

Singer-songwriter Doug Paisley to appear at MERA on Oct. 31 Community - Doug Paisley, who’s fall tour brings him to MERA Schoolhouse for a concert on Friday, Oct. 31, received more critical acclaim, from more prominent sources, for his second album, Constant Companion (2010), than most Canadian singersongwriters can hope for in their whole careers. Rolling Stone called it “one of the best singer-songwriter albums of the year”, Mojo described his songs as having “a rare kind of purity,” and the New Yorker said the album was “a quiet wonder.” With the kind of understatement that’s typical of the man, Paisley describes his new album, Strong Feelings, as “just 10 new songs. It’s a lot less simple and unadorned than other recordings I’ve made, but it’s just as earnest and straightforward as what I’ve done before.” This is all in keeping with the songwriter’s low-key approach to his art, preferring to let his songs speak for themselves. Both Constant Companion and 2008’s self-titled debut drew their power from the minimalism of Paisley’s unique take on rustic Americana. Largely set to simple arrangements of acoustic guitar and piano, it was an unobtrusive style that served to heighten the impact of his beguiling Submitted photo songs about relationships in various Doug Paisley is gearing up to play at the MERA Schoolhouse for a states of ruin and ﬂux. Strong Feelings expands on the same concert on Friday, Oct. 31.

preoccupations, but this time Paisley has also opened up the sound, recording with a revolving band of brothers that includes The Cairo Gang’s leader/ guitarist Emmett Kelly, bassist Bazil Donovan, drummer Gary Craig, keyboardist Robbie Grunwald and elusive Canadian songstress Mary Margaret O’Hara. Also aboard is the legendary Garth Hudson, who enjoyed himself so much on Constant Companion that he came back for more. Not that Paisley has forsaken any of the delicacy and quiet rapture of his previous work. Recorded in a new analogue studio in Toronto (save for one memorable session in the lobby of Ottawa’s National Arts Centre, with Hudson playing a Steinway piano that once belonged to composer Glenn Gould), Strong Feelings bears his usual trademark signature, but it’s an altogether more assured work, full of rich texture and ﬁne detail. “This album took a lot more time than the others and involved more people,” says Doug. “I ﬁnd that consistent touring and identifying yourself as a professional musician can take some of the spontaneity out of things.

Reflections By Jeff maguire

riety of bugs from their classmates and although our son and daughter seemed to get over the affects quickly, their mother and I weren’t always as fortunate. For me in particular it was simply a year in which I caught everything going and had a hard time shaking the bugs. It happens! In those days the vaccine probably wasn’t as far reaching and effective as the shots we get today. Nothing is perfect and even the experts are forced to guess what strains of the flu virus are likely to hit North America in each successive season. For example the vaccine strains for our current winter flu jabs were chosen in February, before the last season had ended. That’s because it takes months to manufacture, package and ship the vaccine to health care practitioners, clinics and pharmacies. Yes, you can now arrange a flu shot very easily at your local drug store once the vaccine is available in good supply. Either that or telephone your family doctor or local clinic to see when you can make an appointment. Ours is coming up early next month at our doctor’s office. First in line are the most vulnerable and those 65 or older. Fortunately we don’t currently qualify in either of those categories. A lesson learned Admittedly my wife Kathleen was not an easy convert. She shrugged off the offer of a flu shot in the fall for many years and in general did not suffer for what she now realizes was an ill-advised decision. Then, four years ago, she was hit by a serious case of influenza. The bug laid her low for 10 days and she missed an entire week of work. I had taken the flu shot and was unaffected. That very unpleasant episode was what finally convinced Kathy of the value of the flu jab. She has rolled up her sleeve

for the past three years and gladly taken her medicine. She has not had a repeat of the flu either. As mentioned, the first people targeted each fall are the elderly and infirm, those with immune systems compromised by existing conditions and infants. Our baby granddaughter Lily lives in Regina with her mother (our daughter Heather) and father. Ten days ago Lily turned seven-months-old. In Saskatchewan they recommend little ones get their shots as early as possible. Heather emailed to say Lily received another needed vaccination along with the flu shot one afternoon. Besides sleeping more than usual afterward she was perfectly fine and went on as if nothing had happened. Her Mom and Dad (and her grandparents) can sleep better knowing she has been immunized against the flu. How about you? Will you be following the same example? I certainly hope so because the immunization rate on this continent is staggeringly low. Despite the urgings of the medical community and significant advertising campaigns in both Canada and the neighbouring United States, just 36 per cent of the people on this vast continent received their flu jab prior to last season. There is concern among the experts that the same low percentage of recipients will be repeated in 2014. To put the matter in perspective, there were seven million flu cases recorded in North America last season. Note that I used the word “recorded.” It is estimated that millions of others suffered symptoms, in various degrees, but because they did not seek medical attention their names were not added to the lengthy roll of documented cases. Of course that fact goes to the very heart of this important matter. Millions of sick people circulating in public, without considering others, create a huge problem. They spread the infection which in turn is passed within families, schools, businesses, hospitals and residences for the elderly. Those who are young, old or already fighting health problems are extremely vulner-

able. Clearly we are not doing nearly well enough in terms of the number of people who are actively seeking out and obtaining their flu shots. Statistics are important in underlining my point. In Ottawa, the largest urban centre in our region, there were 100 people who had to be hospitalized because of the severity of their flu symptoms during the last season. Of that number 33 were children, fully one-third of the serious cases. Sadly 15 individuals died from what is officially called “complications of influenza.” Knowing the signs of the flu isn’t the point of my column this week. Once you have the illness you are already actively spreading it to others, possibly including the most vulnerable. No, the point of this article is to convince you that adding yourself to the roll of those who are responsible enough to seek out protection from the flu bug is extremely important. You aren’t only helping yourself and your family you are also assisting other members of the community at large including people who may not be able to recover from such an insult to their systems. Fear is one reason the percentage of flu shot recipients is so low. Some people fear inoculations of any kind could lead to complications, something the medical community is quick to dispel. The risk in this case, or with any inoculation, is incredibly low. If only more people would ensure that they and their children had all of their shots the incidence of disease in general would be that much less in this country. I have a friend and an uncle who are both physicians and they say getting the flu shot is one of the best things you can do for yourself, your family and the extended community. If everyone did there would be no need for messages like this. Don’t delay, the 2014 program is being rolled out and by the time you read this you will be able to arrange the flu shot for yourself and other family members who should have it.

SAFETY TIPS

Smoke Alarms: Test your smoke alarms. If a fire starts in your home while you are asleep, you want to know about it immediately. Some homes are equipped with electrically-connected smoke alarms that may not work when the power is out. Make sure your home has a battery-operated smoke alarm on every level.

Lifestyle – I remember the first time I decided to go for a flu shot. Well, I don’t remember the exact year but I will never forget the winter and spring that followed. I was never so sick in my life. It was quite a few years ago now. I went to the former health unit office on Bridge Street in Carleton Place after making an appointment to get the flu shot, or more correctly the “flu jab” as our friends in the United Kingdom call it. I think the Brits have it right – it is definitely more or a jab than a shot. I submitted to the procedure on the advice of our family physician. It was probably in the 1980s when the Ontario medical system was just rolling out a process which is now an annual fixture in our province, our country and around the world. As most of you know the flu can be devastating for the elderly, young children or people of all ages who are suffering from other illnesses or whose immune systems are compromised. In the early years of what is now a familiar, annual vaccination program very few took advantage of the opportunity. As with all new programs many of us were skeptical and others were afraid the shot would actually give them the flu, something we now know is completely untrue. After I survived that first winter and spring following my initial flu vaccination I readily admit it was years before I “submitted” to the procedure again. As I recall – and I recall that long ago winter all too well – I was constantly ill with one virus or another. Colds, grip and perhaps a strain of the flu were with me virtually non-stop. Only the arrival of spring and the ability to get outside into the fresh air finally dispersed the black cloud that followed me around for weeks on end. Of course I now realize I was foolish to stop taking the flu jab because I happened to have one bad winter of illness. I know it was pure coincidence. The reality is that at the time our two children were attending school here in Carleton Place. They picked up a wide va-

Habits of Canadian beaver to be highlighted at land trust’s dinner Nov. 7 Community – Beavers have always had a special relationship with humans in Canada. Almost extirpated at one time, today they are widely recognized as a symbol of our country. But how much do we really understand them and their role in our world? Who to better help us understand and appreciate beavers and life in their ponds than Michael Runtz, renowned naturalist and photographer? On Friday, Nov. 7, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) will hold its annual Dinner and Benefit Auction at the Almonte Civitan Club Community Hall in Almonte. Michael Runtz is our honoured guest speaker. The event also features a benefit auction offering a wide range of useful and uniquely interesting items, with proceeds going to help support the important work of the land trust. Anyone who has ever heard Runtz tell the stories of his wild adventures in the backwoods of Ontario will confirm that they are absolutely riveting. And these are not just tales – he’s got exceptional photographs to prove it! Runtz has won numerous awards for his education and conservation efforts and community involvement. He believes that through his work he can help people understand and appreciate nature. He is the author of 11 books that demonstrate his wealth of knowledge and passion for nature,

The Canadian beaver: is it a pest or eco-hero? Find out from guest speaker Michael Runtz at the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust’s annual dinner and benefit auction at the Almonte Civitan Club hall on Nov. 7. brought to life with his outstanding photography and enthusiasm. His many years of on the ground research into the habits and habitat of

beavers back up this highly visual and entertaining presentation. It will provide an advance glimpse into his new book, Dam Builders: The Natural

History of Beavers and their Ponds, due out next February. Many unusual beaver facts, including original observations and photographs, will pro-

vide a captivating, intimate glimpse into the world inhabited by beavers. Beaver ponds are some of the most complex and important habitats of our regions. Like watching a first-rate play with a constantly changing cast of characters — beavers, otters, birds, amphibians, plants, and other species — Runtz will give us a tour of a dramatic show seldom seen so vividly. This annual event is a fundraiser for the land trust, with proceeds helping support the ongoing costs of stewarding the properties under its care. To date, MMLT has protected 2,200 acres of conservation lands and is currently in negotiations with landowners for 500 additional acres. The event begins at 6 p.m. with dinner served at 7 p.m. Dress is casual. The Almonte Civitan Club Community Hall is located at 500 Almonte Street (Wolf Grove Road). Tickets are $40, cheque or cash only, available at Hello Yellow in Almonte, Reads Book Shop in Carleton Place, Village Treats in Lanark, Shadowfax in Perth, Pakenham General Store, and Arnprior Book Shop. For your convenience, you may also email vandenhoff@bell.net or call 613-278-2939 to reserve tickets for pick-up at the door. Deadline for ticket purchase is Oct. 31 or when tickets are sold out.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT DES ATTR... T ALLY DO...AK  VILLAG

The traditional African proverb states “it takes a village to raise a child”. If that is indeed the case, we need to know where that village came from and what that village actually does. There are many denitions for the term village, but perhaps the one from Wikipedia provides the most insight for the purposes of this article. It denes a village as a “clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town”. This infers that the village is a settlement of individuals, all of whom bring something to the table in terms of skills and talent that will be useful for the sustainability of the village as a whole. If this were not so, why would they bother to stay together? They stay together because the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts. Each individual, each organization (or association) contributes what they can for the benet of their community and ultimately they receive benet from being a part of it. Most care and support comes through people getting together to help others: families, neighbours, and organizations alike. The work that gets done through churches, service groups and community projects like the Neighbourhood Tomato, is primarily conducted by passionate volunteers, whose passion ensures delivery of care, compassion and friendship. Nothing makes as much diﬀerence to personal safety, health, and well-being, as being connected and cared for by neighbours and family. In other words, being cared for by your village. During Community Support month, Mills Community Support has shared a series of articles, primarily on diﬀerent aspects of our work with seniors. We have focused on the services it takes and the barriers we need to address in creating communities in which people, no matter their age or abilities can contribute in a meaningful way. However, just in case we didn’t make it clear, we do need the rest of the village to make that happen.

Inc.

Government agencies, hospitals, doctors, community health centers, nursing and retirement homes and other forms of health care organizations, contribute to the health and well-being of seniors and their caregivers AND they are ALL a part of our collective village. Add them to the families, neighbours, churches, service clubs and community projects and you realize that the village is… strong.

Catholic school board highlights leadership development strategy vice-principals. The job shadowing program is a leadership opportunity that allows a teacher to be teamed with a senior principal for a job shadowing opportunity, which includes a half-day preplanning meeting between the participant and the administrator, as well as a full-day of job-shadowing. This program is an excellent opportunity for teachers who wish to develop their leadership skills and who may aspire to a principal position in the future. Musca praised the quality of the board’s principals and vice-principals, noting that, “Our board has had the privilege of having two of our leaders recognized as recipients of the Canada’s Outstanding Principals Award. This award recognizes the contributions of principals who have done truly remarkable work.” Recipients of this honour are invited to participate in a five-day executive leadership training program, which is held in partnership with the Rotman School of Management. At the end of each school year, the award recipients present at the board annual principal/vice-principal retreat, and share what they have learned in the program. In 2013, Dave Chaplin (St. John Catholic High School) was the recipient of this award, and in 2014, J.P. Elliott (St. Joseph Catholic School, Gananoque) was recognized. The board continues to develop outstanding lead-

ers, and improve on student rectly. Consequently, maintainachievement through this leading a safe learning environment ership focus. is critical.

“Teachers are responsible for ensuring the safety of students during classroom activities, and for encouraging and motivating students to assume responsibility for their own safety and the safety of others,” explained Derochie. “Teachers must also ensure that students acquire the knowledge and skills needed for safe participation in all technological activities.” In an effort to assist teachers with this task, the board has developed the technology shop safety guideline, and also hosted a full-day professional develop-

ment in-service for all technology teachers and secondary principals. The program will help to ensure students develop an attitude of “safety mindedness,” allowing them to work responsibly with their peers in a technological education facility, recognize the potential hazards, and take appropriate precautions to mitigate the risk of these hazards. The guideline also sets requirements for monthly inspection of high-risk areas in school classrooms. See CDSBEO page 24

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) regular meeting Oct. 21 at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO recognizes the importance of good leadership and the role leaders play in student achievement. According to author and professor Dr. Ken Leithwood, whose research focuses on school leadership and student achievement, approximately 50 per cent of student achievement can be attributed to teacher quality. The remaining 50 per cent can be attributed to leadership at the district level (25 per cent), and at the school level (25 per cent). Mark Musca, superintendent of school effectiveness, spoke to the board about the Leadership Development Strategy. “The Ontario Leadership Framework describes what good leadership looks like, and is based on evidence of what makes the most difference to student achievement and well-being,” explained Musca. “The evidence base for this rationale was provided through an extensive review of current research on educational leadership.” The board’s leadership development steering committee plans programs, organizes workshops, and assists in the development of the overall leadership plan. In addition, the committee runs an extensive mentorship program for recently appointed principals and

Before and after school and daycare programs update The 2014-2015 school year is the fifth and final year of the phased-in implementation of full-day kindergarten (FDK) in Ontario. With the implementation of FDK the board has experienced an increase in the number of before and after school programs for four and five year olds. The programs are offered through agreements with third party operators and a number of the sites also offer programs for 6 to 12-year-olds. Tom Jordan, Early Years lead and superintendent of school effectiveness, presented an update on the before and after school daycare program, also known as the extendedday program, to the board. “The extended-day program document, published by the Ministry of Education, provides the vision and direction toward a seamless and consistent experience for children,” explained Jordan. “It is offered before the core day program begins, and continues at the

Personal protective equipment is also covered in the guideline, with a focus on safety glasses, hearing protection, foot protection, and fire extinguishers. Moving forward the document will be reviewed annually, along with other board safety policies and procedures, and online Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) training will be provided to specific high-risk groups.

end of the day. It compliments and is aligned with the core program, and is delivered by Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs).” The extended-day program utilizes play-based learning to provide a balance of investigation, exploration, guided explicit instruction, independent activities, quiet times and outdoor play. In addition, it makes use of shared resources and shared common space. Ontario school boards are required to provide extended-day programs for kindergarten students where there is committed interest from the families of at least 20 students. Currently, the CDSBEO offers extended-day programs at 11 schools. Schools are surveyed in early spring to determine requirements for the upcoming school year. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

This Week’s Pets

Minou and Robin Hi again! Minou here. I am a black mask cat... you wonder why? Because my cute head looks like I am wearing a black mask over my white head. I also have a fun black mark right in the middle of my face. I am rather large, but very sweet. They say I am about 4.5-years-old. I love using the scratch pole so it would be wise to have one available for me. Other than that I have no explicit wishes, just a friendly home, good food and a warm

these things happen, as well for the family as the cats. They grew up together and were very content in their home. We feel they should be adopted together as they truly are a pair.

Both are mainly black, one with a few white hairs the other with some faded grey/ white stripes on the belly. Please come and meet these two lovely ladies. Thank you for your con-

tinued support. Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca or 613-283-9308.

This week’s featured pets Three weeks back we wrote about barn cats being available. Meanwhile two have been adopted and will go to their forever barn soon. We do have a few more cats who would be happier in a barn than in a home. If you’re considering barn cats, please come and check them out before the cold sets in, so they can get used to their barn and surroundings. Many, many cute kittens have been adopted over the last few months. We thank you for that! It always means that the adult bed will do. cats are being overlooked for My friend Robin is a a while. black mask cat too. He’s a bit younger than I am, about three-years-old, I heard them saying. Robin is large but not as big as I am. Robin purrs and sweet talks a lot, always flirting with the ladies.

Dante Dante was brought to us in the spring by a nice lady who kept him alive outside during the cold winter months. Dante had adapted very well being with other cats but lately he is showing some sign of stress. He is clearly not enjoying this sheltered life with so many other cats he has to share his bed and food bowls with. He’s very laid back, loves attention and is longing for a private mistress whom he can share a house with. Please come and meet Dante, he really deserves a good home.

Community - Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy the Perth Community Choir’s (PCC) exuberant production of Lionel Bart’s hit musical Oliver! Adopted from the novel by Charles Dickens, this beloved classical musical has enthralled first week audiences with its timeless tale of a young orphan’s quest to find home and family in Victorian London. Dickens’ larger-than-life characters sing and dance their way into your heart with iconic songs including “Food, Glorious Food,” “Who Will Buy?” and “As Long As He Needs Me.” Oliver! has long been a family favourite and a wonderful choice to introduce younger audience members to the joy of live theatre. Oliver Twist is a young orphan who lives in a workhouse. When he disrupts a meagre meal with the iconic line, “Please sir, I want some more”, he is sold to a family of undertakers. Oliver eventually escapes and meets up with the delightful rogue, the Artful Dodger, who in turn introduces him to Fagin. Fagin’s plans to turn Oliver into a master thief and pickpocket are soon derailed and his life of crime is brought to an end when Nancy, at great personal sacrifice, re-unites Oliver with his long-lost grandfather. The tale of good triumphing over evil unfolds with humour and suspense and the happy ending that will warm the heart of audience members of all ages. Many of the show’s themes are very current to the 21st century and the music is familiar and timeless. The PCC’s high energy production is directed by David Bird and features a cast of over 30 people. Kristy TaitAngel and Chris Angel play Nancy and the villainous Bill Sykes. Gary Welsh, Caitlin Doyle, Adam Reid, Caitlin Morton, Ally Henley, David Parry and Andrew Wake all bring a touch of humour to the unfolding drama delivering strong character roles. Oliver, the hero of the story, is played alternately by Madison Miernik and Hilary Fournier and the Artful Dodger is played by Andrew Kryskow. Prepared to be delighted and charmed by the younger chorus members playing the pickpockets and scallywags. The professional quality orchestra features ten members under the direction of Don MacKay. The PCC’s Oliver! opened at the Perth and District High School on Oct. 24 and the near sold-out audiences have been enthusiastic in their standing ovations. “I was so caught up in the story I was laughing one minute and then found myself crying at Oliver’s plight the next,” reported one audience member. Oliver! continues this week with performances beginning on Thursday, Oct. 30 through to Saturday, Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and a final matinee on Sunday, Nov. 2 at 2 p.m. What better way to celebrate Halloween then with the whole family watching costumed period theatre!

Replay the Beatles hit Gallipeau Centre Theatre in Smiths Falls on Nov. 8 Wonderband and many others. They have performed and toured as professional musicians and studio session players since the early ‘70s and have performed all over Canada, the US and internationally. Their two-hour show includes costume changes and spans the early Beatles years right up to the early ‘70s. “Their show is a Beatles rock concert, instead of the usual Beatles shows which are more tributey,” said Kristina Timms, cultural animator with the City of Beaconsfield, Quebec. According to Timms, the City of Beaconsfield has been booking Replay for their regular summer concerts because they’re such a crowd pleaser and have increased attendance at the festival from audiences of 300 to more than 1,000. “They’re a huge crowd pleaser, they brought us a bigger audience at our summer shows and we’ve brought them back every years since 2010 not just for our summer shows but for our bigger concerts,” said Timms. Like so many good things Replay got together by accidental design and simply jelled. Each of the four musicians simply took on the role of the Beatle whose instrument they play and it’s just coin-

cidence that they manage to look like the original band members once they’re in costume. Their attention to detail is legendary and extends to their sound – they always provide their own sound technician at every show. “It’s a bit like asking a chef to make a soufflé, if they don’t know what it is they won’t be able to make it. It’s the same with the sound, you have to know what the Beatles sounded like so you can recreate that sound for the audi-

ence,” said John Oriettas, a.k.a. Paul McCartney and the band leader. “We want to make sure that the sound is original, so it’s modern sound quality but the guitars and drums sound just like the Beatles,” he added. The band will of course cover all the good old favourites like She Loves you, Help!, Yesterday, Penny Lane, Get Back, Hey Jude and at least 30 more. “If you’re a Beatles fan, you will R0012766148_0626

Arts – Anyone who has seen this band has been absolutely blown away by their authenticity and not in the copycat sense either. Replay the Beatles are by all accounts Canada’s most authentic Beatles tribute band. “The comedy and ad-libbing between them [the band members] was original as opposed to some bands who give us just the expected lines,” wrote Admiral Newt, in a Beatles fanzine. Replay the Beatles will be in Smiths Falls and performing at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 8 for one night only, starting at 8 p.m. Their exciting and compelling Beatles tribute, manages to capture the aura and magnetism of the original Fab Four according to those who have seen them. “They’re the closest thing you’ll get to The Beatles, they look just like them and sound like them. They’re so tight and so good. It’s a great show,” said Jim Bray, account executive with Lake 88, who has seen Replay twice when they’ve played Perth and Brockville over the last three years. The Montreal band have been together for about 12 years and have shared the stage with Andre-Phillpe Gagon, Hedley, The Trews, State of Shock, Boogie

feel like you’ve seen the Beatles,” said Oriettas. “If you don’t know the Beatles, it’s a fun night.” Replay is by all accounts, reviews and testimonials a ‘must see’ show, and tickets are $39.50 so drop by the Gallipeau Centre Box office or call 613-205-1493 to book your seat for Nov. 8.

Arts – Premiering Oct. 30 for a four-show run, Perth’s Studio theatre will once again present An Evening of One-Act Plays. It’s more than an outstanding evening of entertainment – at least one of the plays will go on to be the Studio Theatre’s entry in the prestigious Eastern Ontario Drama League (EODL) OneAct Play Festival, which will be hosted this year by the Domino Theatre in Kingston. The Studio Theatre has been part of the EODL festival since 2009, when it hosted the event for the first time. That year, Joanna McAuley won an acting award for her role in Would You Like A Cup of Tea? The following year she won another acting award for her amazing portrayal of an 82-yearold actress in The Last Act is a Solo. Since then, the Studio Theatre has won awards every year at the festival, and this year the theatre’s winning ways will no doubt continue. One-act plays have become a training ground for new directors at the Studio Theatre. Under the guidance of an experienced mentor, those who have never directed before have a chance to work on a short play, rather than face the demands of a full-length play. That does not necessarily mean these people are inexperienced in stagecraft. For instance, one of the new directors this year is a young man who is well known to Perth audiences, Lucas Tennant. Lucas had acted in almost every festival play the Studio Theatre has produced thus far, winning either an ensemble award or honourable mentions. But this year he has donned a different hat by taking on the role of the director, and he also wrote the music for the show. Who does Lucas have in the cast? None other than Joanna McAuley, who won the first award in 2009, and veteran Juli Heney who played a multitude of roles in Old Love (along with Lucas and Grey Masson who directs the second play of the evening). An awesome cast to start his directing career. The play Lucas has chosen to direct is A Bench at the Edge by Luigi Jannuzzi. In it, a person sits on a bench at the edge of an abyss. Along comes a second person, contemplating “a heroic dive.” Their repartee, the meaning of where they really are and what they are really there for, draws out the humor and conflict of the edge. What is the abyss, and what are these people doing here? Comic and terrifying concepts mix with these lives that are drawn to the edge, the confrontations here, and the conclusion that life is precious after all.

Halloween means parents and drivers should focus on ghosts and goblins in their neighbourhoods. This means drivers need to slow down in residential areas and parents need to show their children safe pedestrian practices. “With it getting darker outside earlier, Halloween is a great time for parents and children to talk about pedestrian safety, especially when it comes to crossing the street,” says Louise Logan, Parachute’s president and chief executive officer. “Set a good example, practice with your

children and make road safety part of your conversation.” Parachute offers parents, children and drivers these tips for a safe Halloween: • An adult or responsible older child should accompany children, under age nine, since they may lack the skills to cross the street on their own. • Teach your child to stop at the curb, look left, right and left again, and to listen for oncoming traffic.

• Select costumes with bright colours to increase your child’s visibility and choose face paint instead of masks. • Always cross at crosswalks, street corners or intersections – it’s unsafe to cross between parked cars or other obstacles. • Stay on the sidewalk when walking from house to house, and if there is no sidewalk, walk beside the road, facing traffic so drivers can see you.

Bill Murray thrives as St. Vincent RLHS final meeting of year Nov. 5 MOVIE: St. Vincent STARRING: Bill Murray, Melissa McCarthy, Naomi Watts, Chris O’Dowd and Jaeden Lieberher DIRECTOR: Theodore Melfi RATING: 14A Entertainment – An alcoholic, bitter, old man babysits a young boy after school. It sounds like the kind of typical outrageous comedy Hollywood is so fond of. St. Vincent is anything but typical. On the surface Vincent (Bill Murray) is a cantankerous old man. He doesn’t like people and people generally don’t like him. If you look beneath the surface you’ll see a deeply flawed individual. Vincent drinks too much, gambles too much, swears too much, and is angry most of the time. It makes one wonder why Maggie (Melissa McCarthy) lets Vincent look after her son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher). To be fair Maggie doesn’t have a lot of options. She and Oliver have moved into the house next to Vincent because she left her cheating husband. She has to work a lot, and with Oliver starting at a new school things aren’t easy. Maggie was a little desperate to find someone to watch Oliver after school, and

My Take

Mark haskins

Vincent was a little desperate for the money. Strangely Oliver and Vincent bond. Vincent takes Oliver to the track, the bar, and teaches him how to fight. He introduces Oliver to Daka (Naomi Watts), the pregnant prostitute with whom he spends his Tuesdays. In turn Oliver seems to be the only friend Vincent has. It’s Oliver who’s able to look past the surface, and all the flaws, and see the saint underneath. St. Vincent asks what makes a saint a saint. The film goes on to answer that question by presenting us with what seems like the most unlikely of candidates. At first glance Vincent is the stereotypical degenerate old man. However, as the film moves forward we get to know Vincent. We laugh, we cry, we look on in shock, and we watch in awe as we’re taught not to judge the book just by its cover. We learn

that being a saint doesn’t mean you have to be perfect. I would imagine it’s not easy to play a pregnant prostitute whose best costumer is someone like Vincent. Yet Naomi Watts pulls it off with a grace and humour that really shines. It’s always a risk for an actor to break type and do something different from what their fans expect. Melissa McCarthy takes that risk and it pays off huge. Chris O’Dowd plays Brother Geraghty. As a priest and Oliver’s teacher he brilliantly provides both wisdom and humour. It’s amazing to see someone so young deliver such a moving and compelling performance. Jaeden Lieberher is an outstanding young talent. His chemistry with Murray is phenomenal, and his connection with the audience is incredible. Bill Murray inhabits this role as only Bill Murray can. Vincent is both uncomplicated and complicated. Murray throws his entire being into this role, and gives one of the most sensitive, funny and heartwarming performances of his career. St. Vincent is a fascinating character and a fascinating film. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

Community – Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society welcomes Colleen Kahrman of Hidden Garden Floral Designs in Newboro to its final meeting of the year, Wednesday, Nov. 5. Colleen will be bringing the newest fresh and decorative products to demonstrate how to put together a traditional Christmas display. Then, taking the same basic types of products, she will give tips on how to create a one-ofa-kind arrangement, customized to one’s preferences, venue or occasion, in, if you like, a more modern, distinctive, even edgy style. Colleen has degrees in floriculture and horticulture from the University of Massachusetts, and 15 years of experience in the industry, both in the USA and Canada. Over the last seven years, she has acquired numerous corporate clients throughout southeastern Ontario, for whom she designs all seasonal displays, from concept to comple-

tion. Colleen also offers seasonal workshops on flower arranging, current offerings described on her website at http://www.hiddengarden.ca/workshops. The Nov. 5 meeting is also the society’s annual general meeting. President John Carley will be stepping down after four very successful years of office. The society thanks John for his leadership over the past two years into new areas of interest such as pollinator gardens, edible trees and activism to encourage organic agriculture and discourage the use of genetically engineered seeds and food. Any member of the public can join the society and volunteer on the executive, which currently has several vacancies including the president and vice-president positions. All that is required is to attend the November meeting at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Hall, accompanied by a nominator. Dec. 3 is the society’s annual Christmas dinner, to be held at

the Westport Legion, with catering by Kudrinko’s Foods. Following dinner, Celtic Combination will entertain. Cash donations for local food banks may be offered at the door. There will be door prizes, as well as the annual draw for the early bird membership for those who have renewed their membership with or joined the society on or before Dec. 3. Membership is $15 per year and entitles members to participate in the election of the executive and attend eight evenings of fine speakers and refreshments April to November the first Wednesday of the month. Tickets for the Christmas dinner are $25 and are available at the November meeting, as well as through the society’s secretary, Susan Bowen at 613273-4861 or susanmbowen66@ gmail.com. Submitted by Yvonne Helwig of the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society.

Hospital’s new CEO ready to fly solo

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Two heads are better than one, but, starting next week, Beverley McFarlane, the new president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital, will be flying solo. While she arrived at the hospital to take up her reins on Oct. 6, her predecessor, Linda Bisonette, is still on the job, providing several weeks of over-

lap. When meeting with her on the morning of Thursday, Oct. 23, she is just coming out of a board meeting at the Smiths Falls site, and, the name of Bisonette, whose last day is tomorrow (Oct. 31), is still on the door of the president’s office. McFarlane does not yet have a key to the office, so the interview takes place in a smaller all-purpose office down the hall. See HOSPITAL CEO page P4

Community – Henry Norwood is a young crooner with some pretty big chops. The local teen wanted to do something to help the Build a Mountain of Food campaign, led by Hugh Colton of Town and Country Chrysler and Lake 88.1. Together, the two came up with the plan to host a Saturday night show in Perth to help kick start the food campaign. “Tickets have sold out,” Norwood said, prior to a sound check Saturday, as he anticipated a great show. The Studio Theatre in Perth has a capacity of 197. The show was sold out on Thursday, Oct. 23. How is this benefiting the food campaign? “People are bringing in food or cash donations,” Norwood said. “I hope we can make this an annual event.” Colton said he is all for that, as he tries to get a new type of fundraiser going each year. “Henry’s been great and we jumped on board with this.” Joined by Roch Lafleur, Brian Ostrom, Wade Foster, Mark Lemieux and Shawn Mccullough, the Streets of Bakersfield by Dwight Yoakam was just one of many sounds of Bakersfield that the group performed. The Build a Mountain of Food campaign works with Wendy Quarrington of the Good Food Bank in Perth. “My journey’s food,” Colton said. “I will work with Wendy at the Good Food Bank (of The Table Community Food Centre) in Perth to make sure the cash goes towards putting food on the shelves for those who need it.” On Monday, Norwood thanked those who made the event so successful. “Discussions have already started on how to try and top it for next year,” he wrote on his Facebook page. Final tally on Monday showed a total of 1,560 pounds of food were collected for the Good Food Bank.

Legion stands on guard for fallen

Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News - As Corporal Nathan Cirillo was being laid to rest, many miles away, members of the Perth branch of the Royal Canadian Legion stood guard at the cenotaph in his memory. The honour guard was in place in front of the Great War Memorial Hospital site this past Tuesday morning to salute not only Cirillo, but also Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent. “This branch of the Legion took the initiative to do this,” said Terry O’Hearn, the branch’s public relations officer, under a drizzly, overcast sky. “We, as Legion members and veterans, are doing this in honour of the deceased soldiers.” Earlier that morning, Legion member Stacey Niceliu stood as part of the honour guard, dressed in the uniform of his old unit - the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, the same unit that Cirillo was a member of, with the same colours Cirillo would have been wearing when he was gunned down by a terrorist as he stood on an honour guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Just days before Cirillo’s death, Vincent was killed after he and another member of the armed services were struck by an Islamist extremist driving a car southeast of Montreal. There had been other veterans and Legion members across the country who were taking similar actions that morning but they were not being co-ordinated by Legion high command in Ottawa. “It was spontaneous,” said Perth Legion member Derek Holbeche. “(It was) the thing to do.” While there have been concerns about veterans or active service members wearing their uniforms and medals in public, for fear of more attacks, “there has been no conversation from the Legion chain of command,” about this, O’Hearn said. “(We are not) doing it for a demonstration.”

Guardrail price lower than thought desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – About 800 metres of guardrails will be installed along Riverside Drive – at about $7,000 cheaper than the estimated cost. The original estimate for the rails had been $70,000, but Hughson Fence and Guardrail has been chosen at the winning bidder for the contract to install the rails, at a cost of $63,498.24, pending approval from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. Hughson beat out two other competitors for the bid. As it stands, Perth will only have to pay two-thirds of this cost, with Drummond/North Elmsley Township picking up the remaining one-third of the cost. The money will be drawn from the town’s year-end budget surplus. The work will be completed in November, before the cold weather sets in. “I did have a taxpayer say to me that this is not the town’s responsibility,” said Coun. Ed McPherson, during the town’s council meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 21. He pointed to the report on the proposed ring road, which “recommended shutting down that road. You can’t avoid the safety concerns. I would like to see the road closed, but you have to say safety first.”

When it comes to safety, Coun. Jim Boldt noted, “you can’t put a price on that.” The bylaw was passed unanimously. Last week’s council was the last to be held before the municipal election on Monday, Oct. 27, so, with four incumbents running for re-election, the meeting was brief. Dogs at splash pad The proponents of the new splash pad at Conlon Farm are glad that so many families with children are using the facility. They are less glad that some dogs are also using it. “There were some problems with people bringing their dogs to the splash pad,” said McPherson. One man even brought water and food dishes for his dog to the pad – even though families using it had asked him to move the dishes. “We may have to look at amending that bylaw,” said McPherson. Community centre parking Mayor John Fenik and Coun. Beth Peterkin voted against the new community centre parking control measures, with new parking times and parking passes being implemented.

Fire and safety fun

Submitted photo

Community - The Perth Fire Department and Drummond/North Elmsley/Tay Valley Fire Rescue invited all local elementary school students to participate in a contest by answering questions on smoke alarms in their homes. The winners (pictured here), comprised of one student and a friend from each school, were picked up in a fire truck and taken to McDonald’s recently for lunch. Sponsors of the contest were McDonald Restaurants and Commonwell Mutual Insurance Group.

Municipal Connection www.perth.ca FALL & WINTER SAFETY TIPS FROM THE PERTH FIRE DEPARTMENT: The Perth Fire Department reminds you that it is time to get prepared for fall and winter. Here are some timely fire safety tips:  Have your oil, gas or propane fired furnace serviced by a qualified service contractor. They will change filters, adjust your burner for fuel efficiency, as well as check your chimney for birds’ nests or problems that may have developed over the summer. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer and having your furnace regularly maintained, as well as installing a carbon monoxide detector, will make sure you have a safe winter from a heating perspective.  If you burn wood, have your chimney cleaned and inspected prior to that first fire on a crisp fall morning. Burn only dry, untreated wood in your woodstove or fireplace to prevent creosote build-up.  Store discarded ashes in a covered metal container for at least 48 hours to let them cool down.  Electric space heaters need space. Do not operate them near curtains or any other combustible items. Give them the space they need.  Smoke alarms are required on every level of your home, including the basement, and should be tested monthly. The batteries should be changed yearly or when needed and make sure you replace your detectors every ten (10) years or when the manufacturer’s label on the back suggests.  Clothes dryers are susceptible to lint build-up. Remove the lint screen and vacuum in and around that area to remove any accumulated lint. Have a qualified appliance service contractor in to remove the back plate to vacuum in and around the underside of the dryer, motor, heating element and tumbler area.

 When was the last time you pulled your fridge out from the wall? Do it today and vacuum all the dust, dirt and cobwebs away from the cooling coils and compressor.  Lights flicker, fuses and breakers blow or trip often. Have an electrician in to go over your household wiring.  If you have natural gas, make sure you shovel away excess snow from around the meter. It has a regulator on it that has to breathe and fire fighters can get to it quicker to shut it off in an emergency.  If you have a fire hydrant on your front lawn, please keep brush, shrubs and snow cleared away from it. Town crews do maintain the hydrants, but with over 250 in town, they may be delayed in servicing them all following a snow storm.  Fire extinguishers are your first line of defence in a fire. Call the Perth Fire Department for information on purchasing and maintaining a fire extinguisher or to book an appointment to actually operate a fire extinguisher. This is a free service. Call the Perth Fire Department at 613-267-5574 for any questions related to fire safety or for a free smoke alarm. We will visit your home and offer you advice to keep your home fire safe at all times.

Desmond Devoy

HOSPITAL CEO From page P1

“I think it has worked very well. I’ve been included in everything,” she said, as witnessed by recent decisions about preparedness for any Ebola cases that may present themselves at either campus. “It always isn’t the norm,” she admitted, of having the incoming and outgoing CEOs tag-teaming in running the hospital. “Working side-by-side with Linda has been a pleasure.” Just as Perth and Smiths Falls’ sites are linked, she too is coming from a similar organization – Muskoka Algonquin Healthcare (MAH), which has sites in Huntsville and Bracebridge. Her most recent post there was as the chief of quality and chief nursing executive. Before this, she had served as the director of nursing and diagnostic services. The MAH had gone through a merger in 200506, and, having started that day in Smiths Falls, and planning to spend the afternoon in Perth, “this feels very familiar,” she said. “I have worked in a twosite organization” which also had two emergency rooms, two auxiliaries, and two foundations. “That is one of the things that attracted me to Smiths Falls/Perth, working in a two-site organization, getting to know people,” she said. She is currently leasing a home in Perth, but is looking for a more permanent home in either town – joking that she may settle in Port Elmsley just to be located between both towns – once her paramedic husband is able to sell their home in the Muskoka region. Her two children are also involved in the medical field. Her daughter is a respiratory therapist in the Quinte region, while her son works in Carleton Place as a welder fabricator on ambulances. Though born in Kingston, she has a lot of family in the Seeley’s Bay area, so, “this feels like truly coming home for me.” She said she looks forward

to spending more time with her plethora of first cousins in the coming years. She grew up in Sudbury, where her father was an educator, before the family moved to the Muskoka region when she was a teenager. She attended Seneca College in Toronto where she graduated from the registered nurse program. Afterwards, she worked in Vancouver, Toronto and Lindsay, Ont., before becoming the manager for the Intensive Care Unit at the Huntsville hospital. “In my naïveté, I said, ‘Sure!’,” she recalls with a laugh of a woman in her late 20s taking on such a big role. But it made her realize that being a good manager “really was about leadership” and not just based on longevity. In later years, she got a postregistered nurse bachelor of science degree at Laurentian University in Sudbury. Her most recent academic achievement is getting a masters degree in leadership from the University of Guelph in 2010. McFarlane said she is grateful that some of the groundwork for a more sustainable financial future for the hospital has already been laid out. “The organization has done a lot of hard work over the years,” she said, and with it, “brought a lot of stability,” financially, organizationally and otherwise. She stressed that she does not intend to bring sweeping changes to the hospital, but instead seeks “maintaining the stability and look at patient and family-centred care.” With Queen’s Park battling to fight its large budget deficit, and with health care funding making up 42 per cent of the provincial budget, she is under no illusions about the future of health care funding in Ontario. “It’s going to challenge us,” she said, before noting that funding for hospitals is moving from what she calls a “traditional model” to “price volume,” where maintenance of

services is rewarded – as is efficiency. For example, 30 per cent of the funding to the hospital comes through “quality-based procedures.” “My early look at the books says we are doing very well in those categories,” she said of the need to find efficiencies and effectiveness in the hospital. While cutting 12 hospital beds, for example, which happened during Bisonette’s term of office, is a tangible example, McFarlane said that the new funding based on efficiency could also be documented and measured in a tangible way. One example is length of stay, followed by making sure that they are “not readmitted two days later.” Other boxes that can get ticked off – or not – along the way can include, “Did they (the patient) have a follow-up appointment?” While a hospital bed may not be the best place for a senior, if there is no long-term care facility for he/she to go to, or viable home care options,

they may have no choice but to stay in a hospital bed – but for McFarlane, this is where partnerships come in. “You have to have a regional partner,” she said, to work on, say, home care demands, in a collaborative way, moving away from “siloing what we do… It’s a huge system. But the more we talk and break down barriers.” Health-wise there will be challenges in the coming years, coming not only from an aging population, but, to borrow a phrase from former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, “unknown knowns.” “(There will be) a lot of viral strains that are new and novel,” she said, pointing to the newest bout of Ebola as one example. “The SARS outbreak in Toronto in 2003 was a great example, which had not been anticipated, and which meant responding quickly.”

No school to old school at PD Day library events

Community – The Friends of Murphys Point Provincial Park put on a show for school children off on their PD Day on Friday, Oct. 24 at the Perth and District Union Public Library. Above, from left, Michael Ketemer and Ken Ramsden, members of the group Freshwater Trade, belt out a tune for the kids in the library’s upper hall. At right, Glen Caradus performed a one-man-show, playing multiple characters. Here, he rocks out on a harmonica, with a dancing wood doll on his knee. Below, Michael Ketemer appears to be searching for his bonnie, as he leads children on the actions for the old song “My Bonnie.”

Business – The new Sears store, owned by Tom Vickers, has opened its doors at a new location in the Perth Mews. Saturday, Oct. 25 was the store’s official grand opening, featuring a ribbon cutting by Mayor John Fenik and a barbecue with baked Halloween goodies hosted by the Perth Scouts (4th Group). During the celebration, the Scout group also received a $500 donation from Sears.

Business – Sears Canada was welcomed back to the community on Saturday, Oct. 25, with open arms. After more than a year’s absence in town, Tom Vickers decided he wanted to open a new Sears retail store and catalogue centre in the Perth Mews. “It’s been about a year in the works,” Vickers said during his grand opening on Saturday where Mayor John Fenik and town crier Brent McLaren took part in the celebratory ribbon cutting. “It was something that I felt was a good fit for me and for Perth.” Vickers, who has 16 years retail experience with Blair and Son Home Furnishing, said he is looking forward to serving the public. “I looked at this as

an opportunity to bring Sears back to the community.” Angela Anstey is the district manager for Sears. She was also on hand for the ribbon cutting. “The old store (on Foster Street) closed down with very little warning,” she said. “We’re very excited to have it reopen in Perth.” Vickers did not own the store prior to the move. There are three employees at Sears, along with Vickers and he said, depending on how well received the business is, there may be an opportunity to hire more people. “I’m looking to get some local delivery guys,” he added. “We have customers now from all over (Lanark County) and even farther. We’ll deliver to Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and all over Perth.”

The things that scare us

pinion - I had trouble deciding what to write this week. This is supposed to be a humour column, after all, but sometimes things aren’t funny. So I’ll start with a Bloody Mary. No, not the drink. I mean the scary tale that terrifies young children. In a column a couple of weeks ago I contemplated things that had scared me as a child. Bloody Mary was not among them, but I’m sure she would have been if I had heard of her. Apparently she has haunted legions of children over many decades. Somehow I managed to escape her scourge until October 2014. Bloody Mary, for the uninitiated, is a spooky schoolyard/sleepover kind of story. It has various connotations, but essentially it goes like this: If you go into a darkened room that has a mirror and repeat “Bloody Mary” three times, an apparition will appear in the mirror and probably do nasty things to you. Some versions require you to spin around in circles or light a candle or hold a flashlight, but invariably they all end with the nasty things part. The fantabulous Interwebs reveal the story’s origins can be traced to several different historic Marys and/or their ghosts. The youngest short person came home with this story one day and chattered on about it for a while. I was only half-listening because she seemed somewhat dismissive of the whole thing, but that clever little voice in my head: This is going to haunt you in the middle of the night. Sure enough, at 3 a.m. a terrified face appeared at our bedside and rendered sleep for most of the rest of the night an elusive thing. For several evenings after that Bloody Mary reigned. There was apprehension about the mirrors in the bathroom after dark. This, as you can imagine, can make life a little difficult. I snarled about this accursed story on Facebook and received several sympathetic comments. One friend said when she was in Grade 5 her principal lectured her entire class because everyone was so frightened of Bloody Mary. Based on other comments, it appears Bloody Mary has her greatest effect on the Grade 3 to 5 set. Perhaps imaginations are most open to being terrified at that age? That’s around the time I remember being quite superstitious. I read about one woman who didn’t get over the Bloody Mary thing for a

year when she was a kid. (And then I was the one who felt a little terrified.) Fortunately, our own Bloody Mary issue seems to have settled down. I don’t know if that is because real-world events have replaced it or if we managed to minimize her impact. In the same column that I had contemplated my own childhood fears, I explained it was in the context of the current events my short people were hearing about: Ebola, Enterovirus and the possibility of terrorism in Ottawa, where Dad works. Ah, yes. That. On the heels of Bloody Mary, I anticipated sleepless nights in the wake of the frightening events in Ottawa last week. I was surprised, however. Our family talked about what was going on in the capital, and it appears we may have already suitably prepared the short people for the possibility these things could happen, but that we would be watchful and careful. We also didn’t expose them to a lot of news on that day because rumours and speculation and hyperbole were still being addressed. When I was a kid we had the Cold War. By the time I was old enough to understand what that was all about, it was already thawing. We didn’t build a bunker at my house. My memories of the Cold War are more about which bands were singing anthems on the topic, and which ones were using those Spitting Image puppets (think Genesis and “Land of Confusion”). My generation had it pretty good. There are children in the world who deal with violence and war every day. This generation in this country will face battles, too, and it’s hard to say what they will be. What role will terrorism play in the coming years? With what happened last week – the murders of Corporal Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and the events on Parliament Hill – I see mental illness, drug abuse and isolation as being significant battlefronts, too. It all makes me a bit nostalgic for Bloody Mary.

ifestyle - My heart is full. Everything makes me cry these days. The way his grandson smells when I cuddle him… the softness of his skin under a fuzzy blue blanket, swaddled in a little Winnie the Pooh sleeper I couldn’t resist. What a difference six months has made. One minute, I’m cleaning out the closets of my grandmother’s – and the next, I’m smack-dab in the middle of a “relationship” again… but it’s a good thing. A really good thing. I didn’t think that having a grandchild would ever happen, since I didn’t have children. Decades later, in walks my guy. Swaggers really… over to my place one day as I was cleaning closets and breaking windows (accidentally). I was making a trip to the shed in my not-soSunday-best when our eyes met across the yard. Just like the smoky saloon days – only there was no smoke, no saloon, and no beer. I wish I could have melted into the ground because I sure felt underwhelming in my attire. He was

We chatted up a storm for a few minutes, then parted ways. I was intrigued by him and his Newfoundland accent. The next time I saw him was a couple days later when he popped in to invite me for a barbecue. I accepted. Conversation flowed. He was the perfect gentleman. It wasn’t long after that first barbecue that I found myself in the middle of this newfound relationship. Soon after that he introduced me to his son and family – with a baby on the way. Mom-to-be was only four months pregnant. Bi-weekly dinners became the

norm with them. Here was my extended family. I was now in a relationship with this man and his kids accepted me as one of the gang. But nothing prepared me for the moment when his son and daughterin-law invited me to the hospital to be there when William was born. This was just too much. William? That’s my dad’s name. Sept. 17 came and went in a blur and armed with my Canon, I was able to capture some special moments with the family. William was a healthy little person. So tiny, so perfect. Just last weekend, the kids were home for Sunday dinner with Dad and I – moose stew and cod tongue. Good Lord. That tongue stuff just about did me in, but the stew was great. I did mention that my guy is a Newfoundlander… cod and moose are some of their favourites. But that wasn’t the best part of the weekend… the best part was when Mom placed little William in my arms and called me Nana. Emotional overload… circle complete.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Clarifying facts on Middleville subdivision DEAR EDITOR:

invited to that meeting to answer questions. Two MVCA reviews (public documents) provide important recommendations relating to water issues: In December, the MVCA did a full hydrogeological review of the latest report from Golder – they recommended that the county not accept the Golder report since the consultants hadn’t done adequate testing to support their conclusions and recommendations. The township CAO received that report from the county shortly after its release; however, he didn’t share it with councillors until a few hours before the May 13 meeting, and after Brian Stewart saw that the December report was referred to in a later MVCA review and asked the CAO to provide it. The MVCA review released on May 12 specifically states that it is to be read in conjunction with their complete December review. How can council ask the experts questions about critical water/sewer issues when they have not been given the opportunity to read the relevant reports? Is this “informed decision-

making”? The minutes for that May 13 meeting provide no record of decisions made and even fail to record a motion passed by council to remove one of the conditions (see township website). A lot happened at that meeting: council went through every draft condition and agreed to either accept change or remove them, with input from their planning consultant. New information was presented including the fact that pesticides had been used on the site in recent years (the developer claimed they had not). None of this is in the minutes. Data must be added to meeting agendas to support informed decisionmaking and provide transparency and accountability – this is essential to ensure good decision-making and good development. It is our responsibility as citizens to elect good leaders. Council must get adequate information for decision-making. Siobhan Baker Middleville Photo courtesy Desmond Peter Devoy

Final journey home

News - Citizens lined highway overpasses from Ottawa to Hamilton last week as the body of Corporal Nathan Cirillo, killed by a terrorist as he stood guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, was brought home to Hamilton, Ont. Here, as twilight falls, large Canadian flags hang from an overpass on Highway 403 West in Burlington, Ont.

At the recent all-candidates meeting several topics were discussed including: the Middleville subdivision; informed decision-making and transparency/accountability. Regarding the Middleville subdivision: Bill Nielson stated there was a rumour that the project was not dead and if elected he would retrace steps and try to get it started again. In fact, no-one “stopped” the subdivision. The developer withdrew his application after township council imposed the legislatively required “conditions of approval” recommended by the planners. Here’s what happened: A special Committee of the Whole (COW) meeting was called on May 13 to decide on draft conditions of approval for the subdivision – including those affecting the safety of water. Representatives from Golder (the developer’s hydro geological consultants) and the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) who reviewed the Golder reports on behalf of the county were

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The letter, unsigned but ostensibly from a spokesperson for the “Be Aware Coalition” (hereinafter referred to as BAC) which appeared in the Oct. 23 Perth Courier, cannot go unchallenged. BAC may be a group of well-intentioned people, but to claim that it does not preach a moral code is, at best, disingenuous. First, BAC, touting Joy Smith as its star speaker, proclaims that Smith is “widely known and respected for her work on human trafficking, pornography, and prostitution”. She may not be respected by everyone, including prostitutes themselves (who, incidentally, prefer to be addressed as “sex workers”). There are many organizations of sex workers who insist that they are providing a service that is socially legitimate, important, and valuable. Support for them comes from such seemingly unlikely voices as that of the Rev. Mother Elizabeth Ann Eckert of the Sisterhood of St. John the Divine in Toronto, who says that the Bible provides ample support for sex worker rights, and the Rev. Bruce Bryant-Scott, of St. Matthias parish in Victoria, who says that “there’s a large number of people who follow a particular Christian doctrine who feel they must impose all of their dogma on everybody else.” (These quotes are from easily found internet sources, which provide a ton of literature contradicting the views of people like Smith.) On one hand, it is legal for the supply-side to make a product or service available for sale to the public but, on the other hand, it is illegal for a member of the public

to purchase that service or product. This is plainly, in my opinion, stupid and nothing if not the imposition on the whole society of a particular code of morality. Smith, readers should know, also has a record of being against rights of gay couples in the matter of child adoption and appears to object to gay marriage itself, if her own statement is to be taken at face value (again, from the internet): “If (my daughter) decides to get married, she will know that the meaning of marriage is the union of a man and a woman. If she chooses otherwise, it will be her choice.” With respect to pornography, like it or not, its consumption is legal, even if we would rather our children not be exposed to it. From

this flows the logical conclusion that BAC would be campaigning, not on the slogan “Porn Harms”, but “Censor the Internet”, an issue that has been bedeviling the Government of Canada and the CRTC for years. Some may approve of the idea of controlling the internet to prevent child access to pornography, but what about terrorism, terrorist recruitment, beheadings, bullying, suicide, glamorization of the drug culture, and a host of other issues? Michael Geist, Head of the Research Chair of Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, commenting on Smith’s “Clean Internet Act” of April 2007, said: “Just about everything associated with this bill is (to be charitable) rather odd,”,

and “this bill would not look out-of-place in countries that aggressively censor the Internet.” The “Porn Harms” banner is an eyesore, constitutes an improper effort to impose a particular moral point of view on those who stroll the streets of Perth, delivers, in any case, a deceptive message, and does discredit to our beautiful, historic downtown. What must visitors think! Please, Perthites, instruct council to “tear down this banner.” Neville Wells Perth

Community - Last week was full of surprises! On Oct. 22, we went in to a Hold and Secure, due to the events on Parliament Hill. The Hold and Secure lasted from 12:30 to 1:35 p.m. We would like to express our condolences to Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent’s families for their tragic losses. Due to the Hold and Secure the senior and juniors football games on Oct. 22 were pushed back until later that day when the Hold and Secure was lifted. The junior team played against Carleton Place and won 21-7 and the seniors played against Almonte and lost 34-7. This week is a very busy week for the Spartan football team. The seniors played Oct. 28 against SFDCI and the juniors played Wednesday Oct. 29 at PDCI. The seniors will also have a game on Friday, Oct. 31, the place and time and team are to

be determined. Good luck Spartans! The volleyball teams, both junior and seniors, won both sets against Almonte but lost the rest in close matches. This week is the last week of regular volleyball season and the seniors are travelling to Notre Dame and the juniors are travelling to Carleton Place. Good luck and get your green on Spartans! The St. John High School dance is on Thursday, Oct., 30. It is a Halloween party and we are encouraging everyone to dress up and have fun! The dance cost $10 to get in, with the exception of the Grade 11 students for winning the food drive, they will have to pay only $5 to get in. The dance starts at 7 p.m. and ends at 10 p.m. Students have to bring their Student ID card to get into the dance and they have to attend all regular classes that day, unless you have a valid reason, such as a doctor’s appointment.

After the Ottawa shooting, all UCDSB schools were put under “hold and secure.” “Hold and secure” is when the school continues as usual, but exterior doors are locked and supervision is heightened. We were able to terminate the “hold and secure” after being notified by Ottawa police that the lockdown was in a small area of Ottawa. Our sports teams have been doing great this year! Last Thursday the Grade 7/8 soccer teams travelled to Carleton Place to compete in the regional soccer tournament. Both our white and blue teams played great! Last Tuesday, the junior girls basketball defeated Notre Dame 38-34. Senior girls also defeated Notre Dame 44-11. Both teams played in a tournament last Friday as well. They were tough games, but the girls stayed strong and played great! You can check out our video on Facebook to learn more about the PDCI girl’s basketball program.

Big Blue information please see Mrs, Strachan. All grades seven and eight students interested in playing volleyball are advised to sign up on the sports board across from room 207. Junior boys basketball tryouts took place Oct. 17, and will continue to Oct. 29, and 31. Last Thursday was the Halloween dance. We hope you had as much fun as we did. This week is spirit week! Tuesday was the mummy wrap, Wednesday we searched to find lollipops, Thursday was our annual pumpkin carving contest and teacher dress up, and Friday will be our costume dress up! The costume dress up will be judged in four categories; best group, best pair, most creative, and scariest. Friday is also the deadline for the savings in the Greece/Italy trip, so sign up now! Happy Halloween!

Champions for Kids to benefit from musical interlude at Mason Theatre

News – Bob Argue came not to try to bury the iSolara project for solar panels on town-owned roofs, but rather to “enhance the iSolara proposal or look at alternatives.” Argue, executive director of EcoPerth, was before Perth town council’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 7, to offer his opinion on the proposal to place solar panels on town properties like the arena, pool and water treatment plant. He noted that, as of Sept. 30, there were new prices for rooftop solar, at 34.3 cents per kilowatt hour (kwh), for generation between 10 and 100 kwh, and 31.6 cents per kwh for generation between 100 and 500 kwh, something that is not reflected in iSolara’s proposal. Currently, the FIT (Feed-In Tariff) 3.0 has been extended through to the end of 2014. FIT 4 will not be opened until at least Easter time in 2015. “Typically, there are far more applications than are accepted,” said Argue, noting that under the FIT 3 program, 1,779 applications were received, while only 500 were accepted, a 28 per cent acceptance rate. “A lot of people are wanting to make use of this program,” said Argue. “It’s certainly not guaranteed in stone… you probably won’t get it.” While there are no certainties in this game, he advised council to “do what you can to maximize your chances of winning this lottery.” Some ways of doing this include having “capacity set-asides,” and getting the

municipality involved with equity participation, which could mean having an “aggressive approach,” with more than 50 per cent equity through loans, or partnering with the company or co-op, like a Renewable Energy Co-Operative. These will go some way towards maximizing priority points, which are used to determine which plans get the green light. For example, a plan with the support of the local council gets two points, and another two points for the municipality site hosting the panels. Three points are awarded for municipality or community co-operation with equity of greater than 15 per cent. And, as with anything in life, he advised that applications be submitted as early as possible. Already, EcoPerth is working with SolarShare, which has 27 existing projects, and what he called a good success rate of about 63 per cent between FIT 2.0 and 3.0. This partnership is also seeking to solicit co-op members within Lanark County. This information from Argue prompted some reflection around the council table. “I think we should go to an RFP (request for proposals) process,” said Mayor John Fenik. “It would be great to have, on a spread sheet…the different companies. There are probably a lot of different companies that can do this. I’m not really sold on iSolara.” Fenik even suggested that an independent consultant could be used to look into the matter on the town’s behalf, which Coun. Jim Graff agreed with: “What we need is a consultant on this.”

News – Cow calling at a musical event for kids? Only in Lanark County. Leave it to Bill MacPherson and his brother Jim to come up with this inaugural fundraiser for Champions for Kids with a little twist. MacPherson is the Upper Canada School Board trustee for Ward 2, covering Drummond North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Montague, Perth and Tay Valley. He was recently acclaimed for another term as the board’s trustee. A self-professed “good old country boy,” MacPherson wanted to host an event for Champions for Kids, a board initiative that helps low-income families afford some of the extra-curricular activities. According to the board’s website, Champions for Kids Foundation is a charity formed in January 2008 to help level the playing field for children of struggling families. It gives them a helping hand to meet their children’s medical needs and allow their kids to participate in sporting events, the arts, and other fun activities outside of school hours. “One time, Champions even paid for a funeral of a little boy who died of cancer and his family had depleted all their savings on his care,” MacPherson said. Champions for Kids really is just

that, he explained. “A champion for the kids.” In comes MacPherson’s brother, Jim, a musical production manager. With Jim’s connections in the business, and Bill’s position as a trustee, the brothers have come up with an evening of entertainment for the entire family. “We wanted to keep it affordable,” Bill said. The event, Going Country for Champions for Kids, will take place Saturday, Nov. 8 at the Mason Theatre (inside Perth and District Collegiate Institute) beginning at 6 p.m. It will feature an night of musical entertainment, a silent auction and a special guest performance. Old time country music will be on tap by several musicians, including Ryan Cook whose east coast sounds from Nova Scotia will highlight the bill. Lanark County’s Kelly Sloan, Howard Hayes and the Country Drifters, the Richmond Ramblers Bluegrass Band are also on the menu. “And we’ve got Tony Leduc lined up for a special performance,” Bill added. “Tony is a former student at both PDCI and SFDCI (Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute).” Leduc was featured in this newspaper as his family and friends rallied to purchase an accessible vehicle for him.

Legion prepares for Remembrance Day Terry O’Hearn

Branch 244 News

Days of Yore … From The Perth Courier, Dec. 4, 1947: “Through the kindness of the Perth Club the Canadian Legion will hold their meetings in the Perth Club rooms in the Code block. These have been made available to the Legion until such time as the Legion Hall is renovated. The next meeting of the Legion will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 9, and will take the form of a social after the regular business session is over. The executive are desirous of creating greater interest in Legion activities and wish to have all members attend.” Did you know? According to the Dominion Command website, “By the end of World War 1 there were a total of 15 veterans’ groups and a number of regimental associations representing former service members in Canada. Despite their common goal – to help returned servicemen in need – their efforts were fragmented and largely unsuccessful. In 1925, an appeal for unity led to the formation of the Dominion Veterans Alliance. The Legion was founded in November of that year in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Community - While we try to remember them every day, there is no doubt that remembrance is heightened on Nov. 11, and especially this year following so hard on the heels of the terrible killings near Montreal and in Ottawa. Our long-serving and three-time Perth-UponTay Branch President Eric Devlin has this to say about Remembrance Day: “This is a somber time of year when one’s personal thoughts revisit the past, and thoughts of departed friends, comrades and family invade the mind. The main focus is on dear departed persons who have given their all in a time of war in order that we, who are here and now, are able to enjoy better times. One must always remember our dearly departed but no matter how much thought is given, one cannot envisage or experience just what a past friend has faced in order to ensure that we may live in comparative peace in this turbulent world. At this time of the year, on behalf of all Veterans, may I offer you the hope that all things will improve, but we must always remember.” Please pass on to any veterans who may qualify, this important information about a commemorative lapel pin and personalized certificate being issued to all living Canadian veterans of World War II by Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). Veterans must apply to receive this honour, and we are attempting to identify as many of those veterans possible, whether they are Legion

members or not. A special web page has been created on our website listed below, where more information can be obtained about this tribute. Don’t forget the garage sale and breakfast on Nov. 1. The doors open at 7:30 a.m., and everyone is welcome.

He vowed that “Canadian ideal would not be jeopardized,” even in the wake of these tragedies, and that “our liberties and freedoms are not jeopardized.”

News – Area MPs were caught up in the turmoil of the shootings on Parliament Hill and at the National War Memorial last week. The Perth Courier was able to reach Andrea Walaseck, communications assistant for Carleton-Mississippi Mills Conservative MP Gordon O’Connor, just moments after the shots were fired inside Parliament. Walaseck said she could see Parliament Hill’s centre block from her office, and “I can’t see anyone walking around right now like they normally would… there are police everywhere.” She could not see the National War Memorial, but, as O’Connor is the former defence minister, she noted that, on behalf of his office, “our thoughts and prayers are with the solider who was shot.” Later in the week, O’Connor declined comment on this story. An assistant at Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown’s office said that they locked the doors of their office, but, were it not for what they were seeing on television, they would not have known that there was a crisis. He added that a lot of staffers were busy calling family members to let them know they were OK.

cell phones in,” Reid said. He had left his cell phone upstairs, since it sits directly above the caucus room. He went from feeling “very frightened,” to hours of boredom. He, luckily, had brought a book to pass the time, while other MPs made phone calls. But then, as the power on their phones began to run out, the one MP with a power cord became the most popular man in the room, “like the guy in a prisoner of war camp with the cigarettes. Everyone wants to be his friend,” joked Reid of one of the day’s few lighter moments. A television set was set up two hours after the incident and, by 5 p.m., Reid was reunited with his staffers in a safe room. They had had a more harrowing time than he, as they had sheltered on the floor for four hours, without any information flowing in. “They were hearing these doors being broken down,” he said of his staff. “It was a pretty terrifying day for them.” Last Friday, Reid went to the National War Memorial, where Corporal Nathan Cirillo was killed while on honour guard duty. “It was touching that, without prompting, people went down and placed their wreaths,” said Reid. He noted that it was “important” that parliament resumed sitting the next day. “It sends a signal that we don’t get stopped by things like this,” he said. He cited the burning of Parliament Hill in 1916, when the House of Commons met the next morning – at the Museum of Nature. “That’s a good example,” he said.

Mauril Belanger The Liberal Party, as the third party in parliament, was actually meeting in a caucus room downstairs, while the New Democrats were meeting across the hall from the Conservatives. Ottawa-Vanier MP Mauril Belanger, however, was glad that he put constituency matters on the top of his agenda that morning, knowing that it would put him about 15 to 20 minutes late for his meeting with leader Justin Trudeau and fellow Liberals.

“I was not there,” he said when the incident took place. He was just about to leave his office in the Justice Building, when the events took place. “I realized I was not going to be let in.” He wasn’t even able to leave his office, being locked down. Belanger, a former cabinet minister in Paul Martin’s cabinet, monitored events through email and television. Security came in and asked Belanger and his staff to close the blinds, and stay away from them, since they were not sure if there were still other shooters, in the confusion of those first few hours. Many rumours were circulating that morning, with people claiming that there was a shooter on top of the Chateau Laurier, and shots fired at the Rideau Centre – in Belanger’s riding. Meanwhile, back at the office, “it became one of our most productive days,” he said. “We worked instead of wasting our time.” He was able to plow through two piles of papers on his desk, before being let out at 8:30 p.m. when the all clear had been sounded for his building. “It was a bizarre day,” said Belanger. “(But) I, at no time, felt insecure.” The next day, it proved difficult for even Belanger to get back on to the hill, but he was glad to be back at desk in the Commons. “(It was) a day of affirmation of who we are, of our values,” said Belanger. Kevin Vickers, the heroic Sergeantat-Arms who shot the terrorist, was well known to Belanger. “He is a straight shooter, in many ways,” he said. “He is always on the up-and-up. He is modest and he is truly being himself.” Knowing how modest he was, MPs knew not to “mob him” to congratulate him, and left it up to their party leaders to thank him. In a week filled with unusual sights, some were more welcome to the eye than others – including Harper crossing the floor to hug Trudeau and Thomas Mulcair, the Leader of the Official Opposition. “I thought it was a very good move

Scott Reid When Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MP Scott Reid heard the first shot, he, like many other Conservative MPs gathered for the party’s Wednesday morning caucus session, thought that it was a large piece of construction equipment that had fallen nearby. “It was very fast…it felt a good deal longer (though),” Reid said during a telephone interview this past Monday, with his staff back at their desks after he had given them last Thursday and Friday off. Once more shots were fired though, “it was clear,” that the sounds were indeed gunfire. “We could hear all of the shots,” he said. “You could tell the direction they were coming from… (and we) heard them getting closer. And then the shots just stopped. We didn’t know who was shooting.” Almost immediately, MPs began shoving tables and chairs up against the doors to barricade themselves in, lest armed intruders burst in. One of his first thoughts harkened back to the so-called Toronto 18, a terrorist plot uncovered in 2006 to hold the House of Commons hostage, behead the prime minister of the day, by using multiple shooters to rush the house while it was in session. “It sounded like there were a number of assailants at the same time entering the building,” he said. But once the RCMP had re-entered the room, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper left, the barricades came down and there was nothing left to do but wait. Shortly afterwards, the washroom was opened up and MPs could retrieve their cell phones from a nearby anteroom. “We’re not supposed to bring our

When visiting a Parliament, visitors are expected to clear security in the lower level of the building – something he feels will change. “I expect, at some point, that that perimeter will be further away,” he said. Looking around the hill, he said he was glad to see signs of life returning to normal. About three student groups had been scheduled to visit Parliament Hill late last week, but they were cancelled. Now, the students are returning for their visits.

‘Things will never be the same in Canada’: Gemmell

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Perth’s Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, himself a naval veteran, has condemned the murder of a soldier guarding the National War Memorial. “Sadly, the terrorism that has been unfolding around the world has, at last, reached our shores,” he wrote in an email to The Perth Courier on the afternoon of the terrorist attack. “The attacks on members of our military and our seat of government… was done to send a message. Any loss of life is

terrible but when taken in a scenario like this it is even more difficult to understand.” Corporal Nathan Cirillo, 24, a reservist member of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, based in Hamilton, Ont., was killed as he stood on honourary guard duty at the memorial in downtown Ottawa. Just days earlier, two members of the Canadian Forces were intentionally rammed by an Islamist extremist driving a car southeast of Montreal. One of the service members, 53-year-old Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, died as a result of his injuries. As the second vice-president of the PerthUpon-Tay branch 224 of the Royal Canadian

Legion, Gemmell said that the soldier’s death today made it “a sad day for all Canadians,” and he wondered if Remembrance Day being just under three weeks away had anything to do with the timing of either attack. “The Royal Canadian Legion’s mandate is the well being of veterans, serving members of the Armed Forces, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the murdered soldiers family, as well as the soldier injured a few days ago in Quebec,” wrote Gemmell. “All Canadians now know that things will never be the same in Canada.”

lease that, on behalf of the town council and the citizens of the town, he was sending a letter to Governor General David Johnston expressing condolences. “Both of these men stood for this country and will not be forgotten,” Fenik was quoted as saying. “Terrorism has reached our shores and we have every confidence and respect for the men and women of the Canadian armed forces who fight for our freedom. We will never be intimidated by these senseless acts of terror.” The Canadian flag at Perth town hall flew at half-staff for days after the attacks in memory of the two soldiers, and a book of condolencCouncil reacts es was placed in the town hall lobby in their Perth Mayor John Fenik said in a press re- memory.

All area schools on ‘hold and secure’ for first time ever on day of shooting Desmond Devoy

desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – For the first time ever, all schools in the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) were put on a yellow alert following the shooting incidents in Ottawa on Oct. 22. The “hold and secure” orders were lifted at public schools throughout the region around the noon hour, though they continued to operate on a “heightened state of supervision,” according to a statement from the UCDSB. The statement went on to say that “we have been in contact with the Ottawa Police who have advised that the lockdown is in a small area of Ottawa only, and we can remove the hold and secure. All UCDSB schools will remain in a heightened state of supervision, but the school day will continue as normal. All of our students, staff and visitors remain safe.” “We may be accused of spreading panic,” said UCDSB trustee Bill MacPherson during an interview that afternoon. “(But) you’re far better off to be overly cautious. This is the first time we have done this, systemwide,” he said, though individual schools have gone on lock-down before. “I think it is a good response,” he said. He explained that the schools are on the first stage of a lock-down, which involves “taking kids off of the playground,” though they may still be allowed to use the gym. “They are contained within the classroom.” All exterior doors were locked, and “it’s a heightened awareness of what is happening on the perimeter of the school,” said MacPherson. “That’s the way the system is supposed to work.” He commended the board’s instant notification system, which told principals that the lock down was happening, “no questions asked. Now,” followed by a request for immediate information on how many students, if any, were on field trips that day to Ottawa. MacPherson represents Ward 2, which covers rural areas like Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Montague, Tay Valley and Perth, and he is concerned about how terrorist events could be carried out against a rural school. “You take a rural school and they are very vulnerable,” he said. “When you are dealing with an extremist, there is no common sense to it.” Coincidentally, there was a board meeting

scheduled for that night, and “I can guarantee you that this will be discussed tonight at the board meeting,” he said. He noted that he did not know how many kids were on field trips to Ottawa that day and, if they were, if they were going to the Parliament Hill area. Catholic board While the public board had lifted its alert by lunchtime, members of the Almonte and District High School (ADHS) senior boys football team were all suited up and ready to play their game against St. John Catholic High School in Perth – but were locked inside their rivals’ school, as the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario had not lifted its alert in the run up to the 1 p.m. game today. However, the countywide volleyball tournament at St. John Catholic High School was still ongoing in the school’s gym. The Catholic alert was lifted soon after 1 p.m. that day, and the St. John versus ADHS game went ahead, a half-an-hour late. St. John’s principal, Dave Chaplin, told The Perth Courier that the hold and secure status was still in place until they received word from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. St. John Catholic Elementary School in Perth was also in lockdown at the noon hour as well. David Lo, a resident of downtown Ottawa and a volleyball referee at the tournament at St. John Catholic High School, told The Perth Courier that, as the man who assigns referees to schools from Ottawa to Lanark and Prescott-Russell, he had received a message from his governing body not to schedule any referees until further notice. Lo said he had already arrived in Perth and the players were ready to play, so it was game on. Letter to parents That evening, Charlotte Patterson, the UCDSB’s director, sent a letter home with students to their parents about the shootings. “We are saddened by today’s tragic events which, due to our proximity to Ottawa, caused us to place our schools in a ‘hold and secure’ for approximately one hour earlier today, whereby exterior doors were locked but normal activities continue within the school,” Patterson wrote in the Oct. 22

letter. Once the UCDSB had received information from the Ottawa Police Service that “the specific area of threat was contained to the immediate area surrounding Parliament Hill,” the order was lifted. “Nonetheless, a heightened state of awareness and supervision has been maintained. While events like this are extremely rare, we recognize the impact that they can have on each of us through sadness, grief, helplessness or other emotions.”

Patterson stressed that “our top priority is the safety and well-being of our students and staff. If you are concerned about the emotional well-being of your child, as always, you are encouraged to speak with your school principal or vice-principal.” With files from Laurie Weir, Tiffany Lepack and Tara Gesner.

Queen Elizabeth captures UCDSB regional soccer silver medal Sports - On Oct. 10, the Queen Elizabeth School Lions’ Grade 5/6 boys’ competitive soccer team travelled to Beckwith for the Upper Canada District School Board Lanark Regional Championship Tournament. The boys battled with the 10 biggest schools in the region in some excellent soccer matches. Although it was cold, the weather couldn’t stop the QES boys from displaying outstanding spirit, teamwork and skill throughout the day. The boys began the day by playing four straight round robin games. A 2-1 victory over Naismith Memorial Public School started them off and they followed up with brilliant passing and team play in a 4-1 win over a strong Beckwith team. A 1-1 draw with R. Tait McKenzie was next, followed by a 2-1 win over Drummond. With their undefeated record, the QE boys finished first in their pool and earned a bye into the semi-finals. After a quick break for lunch, the boys took the field again against an undefeated Chimo team that had finished in a tie for first in the other pool. In a thrilling back and forth game, QES came out on top of a 4-3 score to earn a berth in the championship final. In the championship match, QES took a 1-0 lead into the final 15 minutes but could not hold off a strong Caldwell Street Public School comeback and lost 2-1. The boys accepted the silver medals with pride, knowing that they had played excellent team soccer throughout the day. Congratulations to goalkeepers Matthew Czubak and Noah Frazer, who were brilliant in and out of the net; to

CHANGE YOUR CLOCK CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES Residents are reminded to set their clocks back one hour at 2:00 a.m. Sunday, November 2nd 2014. This is also a great time to check the batteries in all of your smoke alarms as there is no use in having alarms with flat batteries. Press the button on the front of your alarm and see if it beeps, if it doesn’t then it is time to replace the batteries. This is also the time of the year when a lot of us start to feel a bit glum and down. Here are six ways to stay energized: • Get your daily dose of Vitamin D – tests show that Vitamin D improves mood • Add 30 minutes of exercise daily at least 3 times a week for increased energy • Get more Zinc – some studies have shown that zinc could be a natural way to fight off winter colds • Take a time out - taking a ten-minute time out from you day, whether stretching, meditating or just daydreaming, can free your mind and prevent your mind from getting fatigued during cold days • Look for all types of Vitamin B - B vitamins help our bodies make energy from the food we eat. Although most B12 vitamins are found in animals and fish sources, you can also try soy products like soybean or tofu • Try and organic diet – eating organic carbohydrates increases energy in our bodies. Our liver is able to process these carbs quicker and help our bodies feel energetic for a longer period of time

The necessity of winter tires and how to store your classic cars for winter Lifestyle – While most of us get it when it comes to winter tires; A) we need them and B) we need four not two, there are still a few out there that think just two snow tires are sufficient to get us through a Canadian winter. One of the clearest lessons I’ve come across to prove the need for four winter tires was delivered a few weeks back on a major US network morning news show. A standard front wheel drive compact sedan was road-tested with two new summer tires on the front wheels and two worn tires (50 per cent tread remaining) on the rears. After all, it only makes sense that if you’re putting just two new tires on the front of a front-wheel drive car, you’d put them on the front, right? The car was then operated on a large flat circular test track that was slick with water at temperatures well above freezing. The intrepid helmeted newscaster was only doing about 40 mph when the rear wheels of the vehicle lost traction without warning and put the vehicle into a spin. When it was finally brought under control and to a stop, the equivalent of four lanes of highway had been crossed, leaving the driver to imagine what type of collision would have occurred on a crowded

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

freeway. The test was then repeated with the new tires installed on the rear and the worn ones on the front. This time the driver was able to reach 55 mph under the same conditions and never lost control. The reason given by the reporter; with the worn tires on the front, the handling was much more predictable and the steering feedback clearly indicated at what speed traction loss was imminent allowing time to ease of the gas pedal to avoid sliding or skidding. This condition is only compounded when driving on ice or snow leading any professional tire retailer to install new tires on the rear of a front wheel, rear wheel, or all-wheel drive vehicle when a customer only wants two. If you want to know why dear old dad or grandpa were able to make it

through winters with only two tires, consider the weight of their cars compared to today’s and the lower engine power those older sleds put out. A thoughtful reader sent in these tips after I ran a piece on preparing classic and collector cars for winter storage. Thanks very much! “Hi Brian, You provide such a great service to us – keep it up! Re: your recent item on “...winter storage up for discussion this week.” I have stored my two ‘boy toys’ (’79 MGB and ’01 Z3 3.0l) in unheated garage space for years. Have a couple of items to add to your list: • Use steel wool to block exhaust pipe and air intake hole – prevents critter nesting. • Spread Bounce dryer sheets or mothballs around floor and car interior – deters critters.

• Over inflate tires (not to exceed max pressure limit) – reduces risk for tire flat spots. • Fuel stabilizer in full fuel tank – prevents gasoline degradation. Hope this is useful. Thanks again.” QG Ottawa Another great tidbit of feedback I received on another story came from a much closer source; one of my area neighbours. After I ran a letter from a reader interested in retaining ownership of his ‘written-off’ car after a collision, my neighbour reminded me about his experience in doing the same thing and it was a long and arduous experience. First, he received what he considered a very fair cash settlement from his insurance firm. Secondly he works in the trade so he had access to cheap parts and great body-shop labour rates. At the end of the very long repair he had put a considerable amount of his own money in the job and found it very hard to find a shop that was qualified, licensed and willing to complete the required inspection. In fact in the entire Ottawa area he only found one. If there was anything more detailed and difficult than the actual repair about these cases, it’s the paper work. The inspecting/certifying shop

must provide a paper and photo trail for literally every nut and washer used and the application for re-registration of a total-loss vehicle can be delayed for weeks because of one missing slip of paper or receipt. If you have any questions, opinions, or stories on anything automotive please drop me a line, [By email to emc@perfprint.ca or directly to bjoeturner@hotmail.com listing ‘Question for the Car Counsellor’ on the subject line or by post to Record News Communications, 5 Lorne St., P.O. Box 158, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1]. When using regular mail, please supply a phone number if you seek direct contact (due to volume, I can’t always promise replies). Yours in service, Brian Turner

Windsor-built 1950 Ford sedan just like new again! Lifestyle – An email arrived from Michael Rice of Kahnawake, Quebec: “I have owned a 1950 Ford fourdoor sedan in Forest Green since 1992. I bought it from a gentleman in Burlington and had the body restoration done by Gran Sport Autobody. I kept the original paint colour as it is a very appealing shade of green. When they repainted it, they took a sample picture from inside the trunk to ensure the colour was correct. “I have kept the car stock and the only things not working are the clock and the radio. Other than that, it is fully roadworthy and I can drive it anywhere, but only when there are no clouds in the sky. The H pattern for the manual transmission is a dream, and it’s funny that I can out-accelerate most cars the first 50 yards or so if I wish – then they blast by me when they wisen up. I even have the original jack (it’s in a box with 1950 Toronto Daily Star newspaper wrapping) and spare in the trunk and the car has just over 33,000 miles on the odometer. I am the fifth or sixth owner and I did track down the daughter of the first owner about ten years ago and she supplied me with a picture of her parents with the car when it was brand new! “The car is one of the early Canadian-built 1950 models as it has the

hood emblem without the retainer. I managed to find this piece, and the trunk emblem, from a retired gentleman in Detroit who had taken a bunch of these emblems home with him from the assembly line back in 1950. “I find it strange that my engine has no oil filter. The driver must have had to change the oil on a regular basis to accommodate this. The block is the correct green colour for this year. I found new old stock headers (also in green with “Made in Canada” engraved on them) in of all places New York State from a vendor who basically gave them away. Over the past twenty years I have changed the gas tank, muffler, tires, and smaller items like brakes, carburetor, fuel and water pump, etc., but no major mechanical work to make the car roadworthy.” Michael Rice’s 1950 Ford represents the first generation of Ford cars produced after World War Two with fresh new styling and independent front suspension. My father, Frank Sherk, bought a 1950 Ford sedan brand new and it was the same colour This 1950 Ford sedan is owned by Michael Rice of Kahnawke, Quebec.

Maritime guitarist offers workshop after show Community – Renowned Maritime guitarist, singer and songwriter JP Cormier will be presenting a guitar workshop in Sharbot Lake. He is the master of many instruments but is a genius on the guitar. His fingers fly with speed and precision and he leaves his audience awed by his talent. Cormier will be performing in the evening of Nov. 15 at the Sharbot Lake Inn and will conduct his guitar workshop in the afternoon at the Oso Hall from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Cormier’s workshops for festivals, small groups or companies are a whirlwind of information and technical delight. This master of the instrument takes the work-

shop audience on a journey through ‘all things guitar’. From purchase, technique and set up, to flat-picking and finger-style, this workshop is an information bomb for players in any style or genre. Experienced guitarists with the prerequisite skills (ability to fluently play open chords, to use strumming patterns and to read guitar chord charts) will be delighted with the content of the workshop. Presented by Blue Skies in the Community, the JP Cormier guitar workshop is $30 for adults or $20 for students. To register or for further information, contact Marily Seitz at 613-479-2855 or at seitz@ xplornet.ca. Submitted by Marily Seitz.

MICHAELIS, Wallace George (Butch) In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and brother-in-law June 23, 1939 -November 1, 1995 When evening shades are falling, And we sit in quiet alone, To our hearts there comes a longing If he only could come home. Friends may think we have forgotten When at times they see us smile. But the little know the heartache Our smiles hide all the while. Forever loved and always in our hearts Your Family

SCHONAUER – In memory of Douglas Schonauer, who passed away October 31, 2011. Gone yet not forgotten, Although we are apart, Your spirit lives within us. Forever in our hearts! Wife Joanne (Bunnie) and family Poppa: We love you to the moon and back!

Important nutrition information for the breastfeeding mother Carole Chang, MSc, RD

Lifestyle – Breastfeeding is the normal, healthy way to feed a baby. When a mother’s body makes breastmilk, it is important that she eats healthy foods and gets enough calories to support milk production. A mother’s diet does not have to be perfect to breastfeed successfully. A mother does not need to eat special foods for breastfeeding, but she does need to eat a little more food and drink more fluids to help the body produce enough breastmilk. What does a nursing mother need to eat? When a mother’s body makes breastmilk, it is important that she is eating healthy foods and enough calories to produce breastmilk. What does this mean in terms of food? Here are some examples of healthy snacks that can be eaten throughout the day (in addition to regular meals) to make up for the extra calories needed: • 1 cup of 1 per cent milk + 1/2 cup trail mix (nuts + dried fruit + dry cereal) • 1/4 cup shredded cheese + 1/2 cup pasta (macaroni & cheese) • 1 cup of 1 per cent milk + ½ tuna sandwich • Peanut butter sandwich + fruit – i.e., banana, apple When a mother breastfeeds, it is not necessary for her to avoid certain foods. A wide variety of foods in the mother’s diet will mean that the breastmilk is full of flavour, which babies love. The only time a food should be taken away from the diet is when the mother thinks that baby has had a reaction to something she has eaten. This does not always mean that the baby has a food allergy. A breastfeeding mother should discuss with a doctor, public health nurse, or a dietitian if she thinks the baby is reacting to something she has eaten. What about fluid? A busy new mother may forget to drink fluids, or sometimes does not like to drink water. What can a mother choose to drink instead of water? Any fluid will have some water content – milk, 100 per cent fruit juice, and soup are some good examples. A good general guideline is to drink fluids at each meal and snack, and to try having something to drink each time the mother sits down to breastfeed the baby. “Drink to thirst” is a good rule of thumb – when you are thirsty, grab a drink and drink until your thirst is quenched. What if the mother does not eat healthy? If a breastfeeding mother does not eat healthy, it will not affect the quality of breastmilk. The overall nutrient content of breastmilk will stay stable as the breastmilk will draw nutrients from the mother’s own nutrient stores. However, when a breastfeed-

ing mother does not eat enough food and does not eat healthy food, then the amount of breastmilk produced sometimes may go down slightly. It is very important not to go on a low-calorie diet after the baby is born in order to lose weight. A lowcalorie diet may mean that the mother is not eating enough calories and nutrients for her own health, and it may mean she is tired more often. If losing weight is a concern after the baby is born, a healthy strategy is to continue eating a variety of healthy foods to support breastfeeding, eat less snacks, and enjoy physical ac-

Nutrition Tips tivity everyday. Talk to a registered dietitian or a doctor about healthy weights. Does the breastfeeding mother need vitamin supplements? During breastfeeding, it is important that the mother get her nutrients from healthy foods rather than from a vitamin-mineral supplement. Often during pregnancy, a mother may choose to take a prenatal vitamin

supplement. After the baby is born, a mother can continue to take prenatal vitamins during breastfeeding until her current supply of supplements is used up. After that, healthy foods can supply all the nutrients a nursing mother needs. Breastfeeding mothers who are vegetarians or who have specific health concerns may have special nutrient needs. It is important to talk to a dietitian to discuss the need for supplements. When becoming pregnant is a possibility, even during breastfeeding, then a woman needs to take a folic acid supplement in the amount of 0.4
