News – Carleton Place Coun. Louis Antonakos has resigned from the board of Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH). Mayor Wendy LeBlanc confirmed the departure to the Canadian Gazette Jan. 13, during a break in council’s regular meeting. CPDMH is governed by a board of trustees appointed by the members of the hospital corporation in accordance with the bylaws of the hospital. The panel is comprised of 12 elected members, three corporate ex-officio members and four municipal ex-officio members. Antonakos was a municipal ex-officio member, Carleton Place’s council representative. On Jan. 14 a motion to appoint Coun. Rob Probert to the CPDMH board was carried 5-2 in a recorded vote. Just before LeBlanc called the vote, Antonakos made a brief comment in regards to the town’s choice of hospital representative. “This item is a very important discussion going forward,� he said. “I believe it should be the mayor on this committee, in no disrespect to
councillor Probert.� As a result, he would not support the motion. “I would like to go along with that as well,� deputy mayor Ed Sonnenburg commented. “There are rumours and concerns being expressed in our community and it behooves us to ensure the mayor or the highest person on council is the one sitting at the table.� The mayor said a member of
council has traditionally sat on the hospital board. “The mayor sits on the redevelopment committee,� LeBlanc continued. “The hospital board does not speak for a board member when they resign,� CPDMH chief executive officer Toni Surko said in an email on Jan. 15. “We respect councillor Antonakos’ decision and thank him for his valuable contribution.�
CPDMH board members bring a wide range of skills and experience to their leadership role. “We appreciate the support of the council of Carleton Place and look forward to working with Robert Probert,� Surko said. At present, CPDMH is awaiting news from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOH) relating to ap-
proval of its redevelopment project. “We are in regular contact with the MOH regarding our proposal,� Surko said. “Our project is alive and waiting for approval.� Last October, Carleton Place council unanimously reaffirmed its support for the local hospital’s redevelopment project as it’s been presented to the MOH.
Jones officially named to Canadian Olympic team News – Cross Country Canada announced Jan. 14 the men and women officially nominated onto the Sochi 2014 Canadian Olympic Cross Country Skiing team. Six men (Alex Harvey, Devon Kershaw, Ivan Babikov, Graeme Killick, Jesse Cockney and Lenny Valjas) and five women (Almonte’s own Perianne Jones, Chandra Crawford, Daria Gaiazova, Heidi Widmer and Emily Nishikawa), were nominated during an announcement at Altadore School in Calgary. Canada is set to send one of its most talented teams of cross-country skiers to the start line with a focus on contributing to the nation’s medal count
and the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. For the first time ever, Canada qualified a core group of seven veterans – six of them Olympians who have all won medals on the World Cup circuit over the last four years. Each of these athletes qualified based on their World Cup results over the last two years. “This is a medal-winning team that has evolved from a group of talented athletes excited to be on the start line into a group of determined highperformers focused on winning and confident in their ability to achieve podium results,� said Tom Holland, high-performance director with Cross Country Canada.
“Depth is critical towards mounting an attack on the podium in any sport and we have seen through the development of our elite program, that our women are hungry to win another medal at the Games, while us guys are now racing to win the country’s first-ever Olympic medal,� said Kershaw, who was the first Canadian male along with Alex Harvey, to win a gold medal at the World Championships. “Our cross-country skiers have been training ferociously with unmatched dedication in order to be at the top of their game as we head into Sochi,� stated Marcel Aubut, president of the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC). “On behalf
of the COC, I congratulate all 11 of our phenomenal crosscountry skiing athletes – your country will certainly be cheering you on as you take to the snow in Russia.� The athletes were officially introduced by seven lucky Calgary kids in front of more than 270 of their fellow students that painted the gym red with clothing at Altadore School. After being introduced, the athletes led by the team’s jackrabbit mascot, Klister, took the kids along with the school’s teachers and officials from the COC and Cross Country Canada, to the playground where they competed in a fun relay race.

CCHL hosts Hockey Day showcase in Carleton Place Feb. 8 Fundraiser features all 12 teams, brings youth mental health awareness to forefront Sports – The Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) will host its inaugural “Hockey Day” on Saturday, Feb. 8, a chance to showcase all 12 Junior A hockey teams in one day at one venue. This year Carleton Place was awarded the event which will take place at the Neelin Street Community Centre (75 Neelin Street). The day will feature six league games played at the facility’s two rinks. The first matchup starts at 10 a.m. The games will run throughout the afternoon. The Brockville Braves will faceoff against the Kanata Stallions in that opening contest. The Smiths Falls Bears take on the Gloucester Rangers at 10:30; it’s Pembroke versus Kemptville 73’s at 12:30 p.m.; Nepean faces Cornwall at 1 p.m.; Cumberland takes on host Carleton Place Canadians at 3 p.m. The puck drops on the final game of the day – Ottawa Jr. Senators and Hawkesbury Hawks – at 3:30 p.m. In a press release, the CCHL notes it is thrilled to be aligned with the Ottawa Senators Hockey Club and the Binghamton Senators. Each “Hockey Day” ticket purchased for $20 will enable hockey fans to see six junior hockey games as well as the Binghamton Senators/Hamilton Bulldogs AHL game 7:30 p.m. that night at the Canadian Tire Centre. “We’re very excited to host this event, the fact that we can showcase our talent on the ice and also bring more exposure to the issue of youth
mental health makes it that much more special,” said Kevin Abrams, CCHL Commissioner. Proceeds from the ticket sales and a 50-50 raffle will be donated to the D.I.F.D. (Do It For Daron) Hockey Talks Mental Health Initiative in development with the Ottawa Senators Foundation. “We’re pleased to be working with
D.I.F.D. in the development of an initiative that will be targeted at supporting minor league hockey players of all ages and their team coaches, trainers and managers,” said Danielle Robinson, president and chief executive officer of the Ottawa Senators Foundation. “While details are still being finalized as to program specifics, we’re thrilled that the CCHL is eager to place
its support with our organization and our history of making a difference with D.I.F.D. to inspire conversations about youth mental health in our community.” More information about the CCHL’s Hockey Day (Feb. 8, 2014) can be found at http://cchlsite.stats.pointstreak.com/ leagueschedule.html?leagueid=349. In Ontario, approximately 500,000
young people (one in five) suffer from a diagnosable mental health disorder. A third of these youth cannot access the services they need. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among teenagers in Ottawa, and Canada’s youth suicide rate is the fourth highest among Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries.

New sexual health clinic opens in Carleton Place Feb. 6 Without proper treatment, chlamydia can lead to severe infection of the reproductive organs and possibly infertility. Testing is easy. It’s a simple urine test and can be done at your health care provider’s office or at any of the health unit’s clinics. Treatment at the clinic is free and now closer and easier to access for those living in Carleton Place and Beckwith. “Increasing accessibility to our services is a continued commitment for the health unit to help us reach clients for whom transportation is a barrier,” says Susan LaBrie, public health nurse with the health unit. “We are happy to provide space to the health unit so these important services can be made available to our clients as well as all local residents,” says Meghan LinkLepine, executive director with Carleton Place and District CORE Youth Services. There are also clinics available in Almonte, Perth, Smiths Falls, Kemptville, Brockville and Gananoque. Visit www.areyousafe.ca for more information about clinic times, locations and the free/low-cost services available. You can also ‘like’ the health unit on Facebook for important updates. If you do not have access to the Internet or a computer, call the Health Action Line at 1-800-660-5853 or 613-3455685 to speak with a public health nurse.

Community – The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit introduces a new sexual health clinic location in Carleton Place in partnership with the CORE Youth Services at 360 Edmund Street (former Carambeck School). Every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., a confidential drop in clinic will offer a variety of services including: STI testing and free treatment, Plan B, pregnancy tests, birth control and condoms. Trained public health nurses provide professional, non-judgmental services to people of all ages, genders and sexual orientations. Nurses spend time listening to each client; talking about risks of sexual activity; and working together to develop a plan to stay healthy. Other clinic services include: counseling about birth control options (including abstinence); providing low-cost birth control, condoms and emergency contraception (Plan B); free pregnancy testing, counseling and referrals and free STI testing and treatment. Health units across Ontario are reporting increasingly higher rates of chlamydia infections – especially in youth between the ages of 15 to 29. The story is no different in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark. Chlamydia is an STI that often has no symptoms, which is one of the reasons why infection rates are on the rise.
Community – Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Lanark County and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville were thrilled to be the joint beneficiaries of the St. Lawrence District Masonic Charitable Project for 2013. All of the masonic lodges in the district worked together to raise almost $20,000 to be divided between the two agencies so that more children would be able to benefit from having a mentor. We are incredibly grateful for the St. Lawrence District Masons choosing to invest in the lives of local children through mentoring. Above, from left: Richard Bennett (Mason), Beth Sinclair (BBBS of Lanark County’s resource development manager), Lindsay Butcher (BBBS of Leeds and Grenville’s director for strategic initiatives), and Andrew Graham (Mason).

EOWC also set its key priorities for the coming year. Three key priorities were established for the caucus in the coming year: • Completing a new economic development strategy for eastern Ontario and working with its partners, including the Eastern Ontario Mayors’ Committee (EOMC), to finalize a plan for its implementation. The economic development plan will be the result of a year-long collaboration between the EOMC, the business and academic communities and supported financially by the provincial and federal governments. The plan will be released in mid-February. • Continuing its research and advocacy work on matters related to the financial sustainability of municipal government in eastern Ontario. This will include the writing and publication of three new ‘white papers.’ The EOWC has undertaken extensive studies to assess issues affecting the continued financial sustainability of local governments across eastern Ontario. Last year, it released two white papers; one that deals with the state of municipal infrastructure, such as roads and bridges and the amount of money that should be spent maintaining. The study showed that municipalities are facing a $3.4 billion shortfall. The second white paper identified that neither using existing reserves nor issuing more debt would solve the problem. A long-term provincial infrastructure program is needed and the EOWC will continue its advocacy for permanent infrastructure funding. The EOWC has committed itself to completing and distributing three more white papers in 2014 to further assist its advocacy efforts on the financial sustainability of municipal government. They are: Ratepayer affordability, social housing and environmental services. • Working to stop the spiraling costs of policing that are crippling municipal budgets. The EOWC will lend its voice and assistance to the efforts of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and other municipal groups in the fight to bring policing costs un-

News – At its annual inaugural meeting in Kingston Jan. 17, the Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus (EOWC) elected warden Jean Paul St. Pierre from the United Counties of Prescott and Russell as its chair for 2014. Each January, the EOWC meets to set its priorities and elect a chair and vice-chair for the coming year. “I am truly thrilled to have been elected to the chair’s position,” stated St. Pierre. “The Eastern Ontario Wardens’ Caucus is working very hard to support all property taxpayers in the 93 member municipalities across the EOWC region and I look forward to lending my help to such efforts. The EOWC takes pride in doing its homework and coming up with new ideas that contribute to positive change in our municipalities.” “One of our major concerns is the spiraling cost of policing. The EOWC is lending its support and its voice to the efforts to reduce those costs because they are simply unsustainable,” he added. “Municipalities already have to consider spending reductions on critical such as roads and bridges because of escalating police budgets.” St. Pierre also said “the EOWC is prepared to look at any strategy, including working with all eastern municipalities on negotiating a single, region-wide contract. Simply changing the distribution of existing costs between municipalities is akin to shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic.” Northumberland County warden Linda Thompson was elected as vice-chair of the caucus. “The economic development of our region has been recognized as a priority and for that reason I welcome the release and implementation of the forthcoming regional economic strategy for eastern Ontario,” Thompson stated. “I’m eager to see the results of this year-long collaboration, whose distribution next month will represent a significant step forward for the EOWC and its many partners.” At the meeting, the

The fourth annual Snow Angel Making Party is taking place at Highlands Gate, 4381 Wolf Grove Road, Lanark Highlands from 1 to 4 p.m. The act of making a snow angel produces an inexplicable sense of joy, relaxation and contentment, making more than one angel multiplies the feeling, and when a whole group of people are making snow angels at the
same time, the collective energy has to be experienced to be believed! The invitation is open to everyone and anyone. There is a play structure with a curly slide, horses to feed carrots to and sliding hills. There will be a campfire with hot cider and good cheer and you are welcome to bring something to cook over the fire or a treat to share. Dress for the weather and wear a coat with a hood so you don’t get snow down your neck when you are flailing in the snow. Everyone is welcome so spread the word and we will see
if we can fill the field with angels, it’s bound to be good for your soul. From Almonte: Continue on Almonte Street, through the lights at the ESSO station, it turns in the Wolf Grove Road, drive 20 kilometres through the flashing yellow light in Middleville and then look for the second laneway on your left after the flashing light in Middleville. Bring your snowshoes or cross-country skis if you want to tour the farm after making your snow angels. See you there!

The annual Ron McMunn ‘The Silver Fox’ Country Music Heart Jam will be held Sunday, Feb. 2 in the upper hall of the Carleton Place Arena. The event, which showcases the talents of musicians across Lanark County and eastern Ontario, raises funds for the Heart Institute. Above, guests flooded the dance floor during last year’s jam. and Jeff (McMunn’s sons) carry on the old Fox mystique.� For a third straight year Bob White, a long-time employee of the Carleton Place Recreation and Culture Department, is promoting the event as a member of the organizing group. White, who is familiar for his role in organizing fundraising events locally (especially country music shows), was recently named the 2013 Carleton Place Citizen of the Year. Tickets limited He urges people from Carleton Place, Lanark County and west Ottawa to get their tickets early if they plan to attend on Feb. 2. “Don’t plan on purchasing tickets at the door,� White advises. “Buy them early at the outlets involved. “Last year was a complete sell-out and just like 2012 there were some disappointed fans turned away at the door. People should act early to make sure they have a seat,� he stresses. White says the jam will continue to be run in the style Ron McMunn preferred – unscripted and easy going. R0032315052_1114

“This is an audience participation event, not a concert. People will be encouraged to get up and dance. It’s about having fun. Some people are on the dance floor all day,� White chuckles. “Of course it (jam) has also raised a lot of money over the years.� White says the organizing committee is hoping to equal or better last year’s total. Kitts adds the cooperation of the entertainers themselves is what makes the Heart Jam such a success. “They park their egos at the door and get really involved. Generally everyone gets to do three songs. I have the hook,� he laughs. Carleton Place Coun. Jerry Flynn is also a member of the organizing committee. “They (musicians) give of themselves every year without question,� Flynn observes. “It is a joint effort and everyone involved is committed to the cause.

Community – For more than 20 years country musicians from across Lanark County and eastern Ontario have come together in Carleton Place in February to perform and raise funds for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute. The production was started by the late Ottawa Valley country music legend Ron McMunn. Nicknamed ‘The Silver Fox’ McMunn, who was well known across the region, was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 1986. Following his death from pancreatic cancer in 2007 a committee was formed to continue the tradition. On Sunday, Feb. 2 the Ron McMunn ‘The Silver Fox’ Country Music Heart Jam 2014 will be staged in the upper hall of the Carleton Place Arena. The venture long ago surpassed the six-figure mark in earnings. Last year’s event realized nearly $9,500 for the Heart Institute which is a world leader in cardiovascular surgery and care. The jam is held during Heart Month when the institute is active raising funds to continue their good work. McMunn initiated what is commonly referred to as “the Heart Jam� more than two decades ago. Initially it ran at the Army, Navy, Air Force Club (in two locations on Town Line Road). More recently it was switched to the larger community hall at the Carleton Place arena complex on Neelin Street. The upcoming show, which will feature some 30 entertainers including McMunn’s sons Jamie and Jeff, is expected to be another sellout. The musical extravaganza will run continuously from 2 to 8 p.m. Feb. 2 and tickets, which must be purchased in advance, are $15 apiece. They are now available at various outlets (see the complete list at the end of this article). There are just 400 seats available. The doors open at 1 p.m. and food and refreshments will be available throughout the afternoon and evening. Almonte’s Charlie Kitts, a 2010 inductee into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame (as a builder), is one of the most popular emcees in the region. A member of the five-person organizing committee, Kitts will be handed the microphone once again this year. Kitts says McMunn’s objective each year was to raise $10,000 for the Heart Institute. “The Silver Fox always found a way to reach that figure,� he recalls. “He was the lightning rod (for the event).

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Get involved in 200th anniversary of settlers celebrations across county DEAR EDITOR: The year 2016 will mark the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the first settlers and War of 1812 veterans to our area – to the municipalities we now know as Township of Beckwith, Township of Drummond/North Elmsley, Town of Perth, and Tay Valley Township. We are pleased to invite you to be part of the 200th anniversary celebrations that will take place across the area leading up to and during 2016. As you will appreciate, the 200th anniversary provides an opportunity to learn more about our rich history, pay tribute to the Algonquin, honour our forebears, and celebrate our accomplishments. It is also an opportunity to build our tourism industry which is a significant component of the economy of each of the four municipalities. Further, it is an opportunity to develop one or more legacy projects that will live on into the future. To that end, the councils of Beckwith, Drummond/North Elmsley, Perth, and Tay Valley have established committees to organize 200th anniversary celebrations. They have also established a joint committee to work together on areas where collaboration and coordination would be mutually beneficial and contribute to the cost-efficiency and overall
success of the 200th anniversary celebrations. We recognize that while your annual event may take place in one of the four municipalities, members of your organizing committee and volunteers may live in all four municipalities. Plus, participants at your annual event come from all four municipalities and beyond. Hence, we consider your annual event a signature event throughout the entire district. We encourage you to consider adopting a heritage theme for your annual event or develop a special project to mark the anniversary. While 2016 is two years away, we know that it takes time to organize special anniversary events and projects. A representative from the joint committee will be in touch with you this winter to discuss your participation in the 200th anniversary celebrations. You are welcome to get in touch with any of us or the contact people listed below for more information: • Township of Beckwith: Cassandra McGregor executive assistant for Township of Beckwith – cmcgregor@twp.beckwith.on.ca or See LETTER page ?
COMMENTARY
Go curling crazy Editorial – In a few short days, Smiths Falls will become a curling mecca when the town gets set to host the Travelers Tankard Jan. 26 to Feb. 2. This is a great opportunity for area residents to not only take in some great men’s curling (the Tankard determines the Ontario entries into the Tim Hortons Brier), but to showcase all of the amenities a town like Smiths Falls has to offer. Match ups will be played on a world-class ice surface created at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre, which itself is a facility the town should be proud of. Organizers are especially pleased with the field of talent they have for this year’s event. Eleven rinks strong, it includes 2012 World Champion curler Glenn Howard (brother of Olympic champion Russ Howard), as well as two Ottawa-based rinks, headed by Bryan Cochrane and Mark Homan. Thousands of curling enthusiasts are expected to attend the week-long festivities. The Travelers Tankard has been years in the making and Smiths Falls has spared no expense and in addition to taking in matches, out of town visitors will be treated to live musical entertainment each evening from 8 p.m. to midnight, as well as catered, homecooked meals and Special Olympics Ontario games Feb. 1. To learn more about the history of the sport of curling in the Ottawa Valley, head on over to the Heritage House Museum, who will be showcasing their ‘It’s in the House!’ exhibit, which talks not only about the rich heritage curling has in Canada, but also its importance in Smiths Falls and the Ottawa Valley. Did you know: the first curling match in the town was organized on the Rideau River by local residents in 1873? Learn other interesting facts at the exhibit. Ticket information can be found at www.smithsfalls.ca/ tankard. Don’t miss the chance to see world-class curling right in your backyard. Congratulations, Smiths Falls!
Bad Marguirite gets her pay back for being a show off Lifestyle – It was the year bad Marguirite appeared at the Northcote School all decked out in a white fur coat. She vowed it was the most expensive fur you could buy, but my brother Emerson and his best friend Cecil, after examining it closely, said it was nothing but plain rabbit. The very thought of the number of precious little rabbits, which I loved with a passion, who had lost their fur to make that coat, was enough to turn my stomach! And certainly didn’t do anything to make me like Marguirite any better! It was also the year we had more snow than anyone could remember. It was banked all around the schoolyard. And at the back, where a board fence separated the yard from the open-air rink, the Senior Fourth boys had piled the snow high, creating a slide that only went downwards about six or seven feet, but it was enough to give us lots of fun at recess, sliding down on our bot-
toms, or on opened-up flat cardboard boxes the boys had hauled from Briscoe’s General Store. That day wasn’t any different from any other inside the one-room schoolhouse. Miss Crosby ran the place like an army general, and even though Marguirite wanted to keep her coat on, Miss Crosby wasn’t having any of that nonsense. “It’ll smell of cow byre,” Marguirite said, glaring at the boys who had to milk cows before coming to school. But one look from Miss Crosby told her to get it off and hang it on a hook at the back of the room just like everyone else. We couldn’t wait for recess. The half hour would be spent sliding down the mound of snow in the schoolyard, and Miss Crosby had warned the Senior Fourth boys that everyone got a turn or they would suffer her wrath when recess was over.

on our snow suits, galoshes, hats and mitts, and the boys into their heavy jackets and gum rubbers, let me tell you! And just before we were heading out, Miss Crosby caught Marguirite by her sleeve and told her she had had a note from her Mother, and there was no sliding down the hill for her in her white fur coat! Well, there she stood at the bottom of the little mound, looking for all the world like an orphan as the rest of us careened down the little hill, squealing with delight all the way.

ing at the top, and as soon as anyone fell to the mound to begin the slide, they gave a good push and away we went like a bullet, landing in the soft snow at the bottom. I was immediately suspicious of Emerson and Cecil, after they had whispered, grinned from ear to ear, and invited Marguirite to have a slide. “Don’t worry about your coat. You can sit on this big piece of cardboard, and you won’t even touch the snow.” Well, it didn’t take long for Marguirite to scurry up the mound, grab a hold of the upper board of the rink fence and prepare herself to sit down on the cardboard the boys had put in place. Well, that’s when all heck broke loose! Just as she was lowering herself, Cecil grabbed the box tossing it aside, Emerson gave Marguirite a mighty push, and down she went, fur coat and all, to the bottom of the mound, screaming all the way. When she stopped, the coat was up ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM
around her neck, the fur hat was nowhere to be seen, and that day she had on blue fleeced lined bloomers like the rest of us. She went roaring into the school like someone possessed. By the time recess was over, Miss Crosby had the coat draped over a chair by the stove, and Cecil had brought in the white fur hat and handed it to the teacher saying with a voice like sugar “Marguirite must have lost this.” Well, that was the end of the white fur coat at the Northcote School. Joyce said it didn’t look any the worse for wear when Marguirite came prancing into the United Church the next Sunday wearing it, and the hat. And even if Miss Crosby knew what had happened outside at the snow slide, she said nothing. My older and wiser sister Audrey said Miss Crosby probably wasn’t any more impressed with the white fur coat than were the rest of us at the Northcote School. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

The other members of the organizing committee are Darlene Thibault and Lee Hodgkinson who, as Smokey Rose, will also be among the entertainers Feb. 2. Besides the McMunn brothers and Smokey Rose the line-up for this year extravaganza also includes Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame members Don Cochrane, Freddie Dixon, Andy Clarke and Howard Hayes. Cochrane, from Brockville, is well-known for his hit song ‘Sweet Clover.’ Others on the bill include Carleton Place’s own Dave ‘Brownie’ Brown along with local favourites Ed Bowes (of the Bowes Brothers), Judi Moffatt and Almonte’s Brad Munro.

Arts – You can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family, or so the saying goes. And throughout the ages, family conflict has become the basis for great comedy and drama, from Cain and Abel to King Lear to The Simpsons. Perhaps that’s because nowhere else is the love/hate relationship stronger. Studio Theatre’s upcoming production of Leaving Home, by Canadian playwright David French introduces the Mercer family, a nuclear family that has been uprooted from Newfoundland to settle in Ontario. At its head is Jacob, a patriarchal father who manages to arouse rebellion in his young sons while Mary, his wife struggles valiantly to promote family harmony. The play is set in the 1950s, a time when filial obedience was expected to a much greater degree, and there was little tolerance of moral laxity or religious differences. But Billy, the younger son is faced with a forced marriage to Kathy because she is pregnant. Furthermore, she is Catholic, while the Mercer’s are Protestant. To add fuel to the simmering cauldron of complications. Ben, the older brother wants to get away from his father and plans to move out and take a room with them. The stage is set for family Armageddon. The scene opens in the Mercer dining room where the families are gathering for the rehearsal dinner. Present, along with the Mercer family are Minnie, the prospective bride’s mother, and her current beau, Harold. Then the fireworks begin, as one character after another discloses unsettling news that throws the evening into turmoil. Laced with scenes of hilarious comedy, Leaving Home it is a story of real people in a real family, facing the kind of complications we all face in life today. Actor Krista Duff, who plays Mary, Jacob’s patient, loving wife says, “What first struck me is that this is a play filled with powerful emotion. Sometimes you feel enraged or shocked, but then there are truly tender moments that

The Studio Theatre’s upcoming production of Canadian playwright David French’s Leaving Home, is set to run Feb. 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 at the Perth theatre. Above, from left: Hugh McCulloch (Jacob Mercer), Lucas Tennant (Ben Mercer) and Krista Duff (Mary Mercer) rehearse a scene. will bring a tear to your eye. I can guarantee that this play will lead to a thoughtful and perhaps heated discussion among those who see it together.” Leaving Home is the first play in a series revolving around the Mercer family. It premiered in 1972 in Toronto and had a brief run in New York. It was followed by Of the Fields Lately, Salt Water Moon, and Soldier’s Heart, and was considered groundbreaking in that it showed that Canadian playwrights could write plays on Canadian subjects. Directed by veteran Jeremy Dutton who brought us Rabbit Hole, Doubt and Proof, Leaving Home features some of Studio Theatre’s strongest, most talented players. The father Jacob is played by Hugh McCulloch, his oldest son Ben by Lucas Tennant and Minnie, the colourful mother of the bride-to-be, is Joanna MacAuley Treffers. Krista

Arts – Have you ever heard of the Mississippi Mudds? Well, if you’re into drama and being social, the Mississippi Mudds is the perfect group for you! The Mississippi Mudds is very accepting and a lovable and fun group to be in. For the Mississippi Mudds Youth, the age range is eight to 18, for the teen group, 12 and up, and kids can sometimes audition for the adult shows depending on the show, such as for pantos. The people in the Mudds are absolutely incredible and fun to be around; you will meet so many new friends. I know I have. To see how the Mississippi Mudds Youth perform, you can come and see our upcoming show, Willy Wonka Junior. If you’re a fan of chocolate (and who isn’t), this is the play to go to. For those of you who don’t know the story of Willy Wonka (played by Lydia Charon), it is a story about a man who owns a chocolate factory filled with chocolate surprises! In this play you will love the adorable oompa loompas, Willy Wonka’s workers from loompaland who not only sing but also dance. As well as the oompas, the cast includes the golden ticket winners who won a tour of Willy Wonka’s factory. The ticket winners are: Augustus Gloop played by Mason Frazer, Veruca Salt played

The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre are in the middle of preparing for their upcoming production of Willy Wonka Junior. Above, the Golden Ticket winners and their parents prepare to see the chocolate factory for the first time. The play runs Feb. 21, 22, 23, 27, 28 and March 1 at the Carleton Place Town Hall auditorium. by Maddy Martin, Violet Beauregarde played by Hadleigh Williamson, Charlie Bucket played by Hanna Pringle, and Mickey Teevee played by me (Gillian Whitlock). These are some very quirky characters! Augustus is so obsessed with chocolate and food that he has lived in the dining room since he was four! Veruca is a spoiled little brat who not only wants everything but also practically always gets what she wants. Violet has such a fixation
with gum chewing that her dream is to have a lifelong stick of gum! Mickey Teevee is so passionate about video games that she rarely ever does anything else because she thinks that she can see it all on TV! Charlie, however, is the good child and although she makes a few mistakes, she owns up to them and no matter what, she is always thinking positive. These children also bring along their very quirky parents: Mrs. Gloop, Mr. Salt, Mrs.
Beauregarde, and Ms. Teevee and, of course, Grandpa Joe. The cast also includes Mr. and Mrs. Bucket and Grandma Josephine, Grandma Georgina and Grandpa George. And let’s not forget the amazing candy kids/imagineers who sing in the chorus for the first act and in the second act they work into the set by making shapes and structures along with choreography to make the set literally come to life! The candy kids/imagineers are a huge part of this production because they have so much choreography to learn. If you join the Mudds, you will not only make many new friends, but will also have the experience of being onstage in the spotlight. I know that theatre has been the right group for me, so maybe it will be the right group for you. I hope to see new faces at our next auditions! The Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre will present Willy Wonka Junior at the Carleton Place Town Hall (175 Bridge St.), Feb. 21, 27 and 28 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 22, 23 and March 1 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and are available at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce, 132 Coleman St. 613-2571976. To find out more about other upcoming performances, visit mississippimudds.ca Gillian Whitlock is a member of the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre.

Smith says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there will be an opportunity to install a Canadian theatre history exhibit that will bring in archival materials from some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foundational theatres of the last 60 years. We think people will find the new location a very welcoming and happy place to be. In addition to the trip down memory lane that audiences traditionally get with our shows, they will also see photos of actors they perhaps saw at Stratford 50 years ago, from Julie Harris and Alan Bates to Christopher Plummer and Martha Henry.â&#x20AC;? Festival producers are also pleased that in renting the space, they will be supporting some of St. Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; innovative community programming, which includes everything from support for an orphan shelter in Malawi and construc-
tion of a primary school in Tanzania to a breakfast program for children in Belize and, closer to home, monthly community dinners, and a program for young skateboarders here in Perth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really have to see it to believe it, but the hall has hosted a remarkable program called Skater Church during the fall and winter months,â&#x20AC;? Smith says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a town like Perth, where there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always a lot for young people to do, the decision by St. James to welcome the skateboarders to both have fun and develop a spiritual conscience has been a real contribution to our community. St. James also hosts Messy Church for young families, another innovative program of similar duration. The congregationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to bridging the generational gap in towns like ours fits with our own mandate of bringing people of wide backgrounds together to share in
the experience of community through the arts.â&#x20AC;? While the festival works on coordinating all the pieces to put together the new theatre space, along with plans for a number of other surprises to be announced next month, it is also treating its new and returning audience members to a Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day Special: any regularly priced tickets ordered on or before Feb.
14 will be given a 15 per cent discount, with the freedom to choose dates later in the summer. To order those discounted tickets, visit www.classictheatre.ca or call tollfree 1-877-283-1283. They can also be picked up at Tickets Please, 39 Foster Street, in Perth. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival.

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; They say that a change is as good as a rest, and while the ever-busy producers of the Classic Theatre Festival do not get much rest, they are changing their summer performance space to a renovated, brand new theatre facility at 54 Beckwith Street East (inside the Good Shepherd Hall of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic St. James The Apostle Anglican Church). The festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 summer season, including Neil Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comedy Come Blow Your Horn (July 11 to Aug. 3) and the classic mystery thriller, Frederick Knottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dial M for Murder (Aug. 8 to 31), will play at the air conditioned, wheelchair accessible space, which has free on-site parking and is also considered the highest point in Perth. This year also marks the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth anniversary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we first saw this space, we fell in love with it, not only because of its deep connection to Perth history, but also because it gives us the flexibility we need to present the best possible theatrical experience for our audiences,â&#x20AC;? explains artistic producer Laurel Smith. The hall was originally built as a theatre space but, given changing requirements over the years, the stage was cut back while additional renovations made the space wheelchair accessible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we plan to do is build a new stage, bring in top-of-the-line lighting and sound equipment from Ottawa, and create an intimate space where audiences can be comfortably close to the stage in an air conditioned, wheelchair accessible environment,â&#x20AC;? Smith says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a beautiful location, and there will be a lovely area outdoors where we can host our very popular pre-show talks as well.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, St Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; parish priest, Canon Christine Piper, remarks: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We shall be fascinated to see what the Classic Theatre does with the space.

Hockey Night in ‘Smashville’ gets two thumbs up Lifestyle – I attended ‘Hockey Night in Smashville’ recently and I’m still telling anyone who will listen about an absolutely fabulous experience. Over the years I’ve enjoyed watching all kinds of team sports in person in arenas, stadiums and on fields of all shapes and sizes in North America and Europe. Nothing quite compares with the experience I had in Nashville, Tennessee two weeks ago! The occasion was the National Hockey League (NHL) game between the host Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators Jan. 11. You will now get the play on words I am sure! It’s part of the hype Preds’ management uses to bring people to the hockey club’s home, Bridgestone Arena. My visit to Middle Tennessee was enjoyable in so many ways. While people in eastern Ontario were dealing with the fallout from the latest round of snow and freezing rain, followed by more cold rain, I was soaking up the sun in Tennessee. On that Saturday morning I was sitting on the front porch at our friends Doug and Jennifer Sharp in Franklin, an upscale suburb of Nashville. As the mercury rose toward a high of 58F (14C), I enjoyed a cup of tea outside, in shirt sleeves, on a January morning. It felt like April at home. Hockey was the main feature of this particular trip south however. I have seen Sens’ games in person many times since Ottawa returned to the NHL in 1992. Their recent outing in spring-like Nashville marked the first time I have seen the team perform on the road. This was a very special occasion. I am the current chairman of the Carleton Place Sister City Committee and our community has been twinned with Franklin since 2005. I was accompanied to Tennessee by the recently named 2013 Citizen of the Year for Carleton Place, Bob White. Before going into details about the hockey game, I want to mention that we also met with the Mayor of Franklin, Dr. Ken Moore, attended a Sister City function and held informal discussions with members of the Franklin and Williamson County Sister City Board. The committee discussions pertained to our mutual activities, including an annual Student Exchange. We also talked about long-term plans including celebrations to mark the 10th anniversary of the twinning next January. Franklin and Carleton Place have several things in common. The main point of comparison is that we are both growing bedroom communities located just outside capital cities. Ottawa, my hometown, is of course the capital of Canada. Nashville, 15 miles (24 kilometres) north of Franklin, is a capital city twice. It is best known as the ‘Country Music Capital’ of
the world. But Nashville is also the capital (the American spelling is ‘capitol’) of the State of Tennessee. The state’s historic and impressive, administrative headquarters sits high atop Capitol Hill, overlooking the city centre. James K. Polk, the 11th President of the United States, is interred on the east plus that makes the setting of side of the State Capitol. CTC totally baffling. More on that later. Grudge match Bridgestone isn’t as large as A few years ago our Sister City committees began a new Ottawa’s suburban complex. It tradition.

Not the lessen our enjoyment of a night plethora of commercials which feature in Canadian NHL at Bridgestone Arena. The location of the facility rinks. Overall, the atmosphere was in the heart of Nashville’s entertainment district is a huge lively, loud and enjoyable.
Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
We were among a handful in the arena wearing Sens’ gear and we took some goodnatured ribbing during the evening. Between periods a lady in the corridor stopped me to ask some questions about Ottawa. She also took the opportunity to say she was impressed when she saw Senators’ captain Ja-
son Spezza signing autographs and happily posing for photos with Predators’ fans before the game. Afterwards, basking in the euphoria of a Sens’ victory, our Franklin friends took us to Tootsie’s World Famous Orchid Lounge, one of the many honky tonks on Broadway, the main country music street in Nashville. Tootsie’s was jammed to the rafters and we spent several hours soaking up the amazing atmosphere and some American suds of course. Bridgestone Arena is so well located. It’s right downtown within a stone’s throw of so many restaurants and bars. That
fact alone makes the Nashville experience superior to Ottawa where the arena is poorly located in my opinion. Sports facilities should be where the action is, not stuck in a field in the suburbs. At least Ottawa can take a bow with respect to the Lansdowne Park (now TD Place) sports complex redevelopment which is closer to downtown. So, my final verdict on the Nashville NHL experience? I give Hockey Night in Smashville two big thumbs up! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.
The right time to invest is … now At any time of the year, it can be tough to set aside money to invest – either in your investments held in an RRSP or to purchase shares to add to your non-registered portfolio – and that is especially true in the wake of your holiday season spending. Then there’s your assessment of the ‘state of the market’. Will it go up? Will it go down? Should I invest now or should I wait? All valid questions, of course, but there is one simple answer: Make your investments now. Here’s why. • It’s impossible to time the market – just ask any knowledgeable investment professional. Trying to hit a high return and avoid a low one by jumping in and out of the market is a sure way to curtail your returns – and give you an ulcer. Time in the market is a much surer path to investment success. That’s because of this historical truth: Markets always move up and down but the long haul trend is always up. So, stay true to a long-term investment strategy for higher long-term returns. • For most investors, the best long-term strategy is to make your investments immediately, regardless or whether the current market is up or down. Even better, invest regularly instead of holding off and making a lump sum investment once a year – because, by investing regularly, you will accomplish these important
Manage Your Money investment goals: You get the full benefits of dollar cost averaging – meaning you make your investment purchases (by acquiring more units of investments held in an RRSP or purchasing non-registered stocks) regardless of whether the current price is low or high. Over time, the average cost of your investments will be lower and your potential for longer-term returns will be higher. You maximize the value of your investments held in an RRSP. Your money grows tax-deferred inside your RRSP. By making regular contributions, the magic of compounding can add thousands to your retirement fund. Here’s an example: Contribute $200 a month to your investments held in an RRSP (at an average compounding return of 5.5%) and you’ll have $127,562 after 25 years. But if you make a single lump sum contribution each year near the RRSP deadline, your 25-year accumulation will be only $120,366. Especially at this time of year, it’s difficult to find a lump sum to invest – but
at any time of year, it’s much easier to come up with $100-200 a month through a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) plan that automatically invests an amount you choose in investments you choose. • Sleep easier by always looking at the big picture. Don’t worry excessively about the performance of one investment. View your investments from the perspective of your overall portfolio and your long-term goals. By investing regularly and using a balanced investment strategy, you will achieve your financial goals. Your professional advisor can help design the plan that’s best for you.

although it can be hard in tight traffic and especially difficult when water is covering the hole making it invisible to drivers. If your chariot has experienced a few bone and fender chattering hits, it might be a good idea to get things checked out by your regular service provider. Even a small impact can cause wheel alignment problems that might not become evident to the driver until the tires exhibit accelerated and off-centre wear on the tread. By that point, tires can require replacement along with alignment adjustments. Along with potholes comes a less common risk, but one that carries exponentially higher repair bills; engine damage from driving in deep water. Road water accumulations become very wide spread during thaw cycles with a lot of rain. Frozen and slushed-over storm drains canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the water away and in low lying areas such as underpasses it can become deep enough to allow the water to get into the engineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air intake. If the engine is running at any speed above idle and enough water is sucked in, it can do major internal damage when the pistons try to compress liquid past the breaking point. What usually gives is the pistonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connecting rod and in most cases this leads to engine replacement at major costs. A good rule of thumb here is if the water is deep enough to cover half the wheel and tire, you may be risking major damage if you try to go through it. Traffic ahead of you can cause wakes which might

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just as sure as winter and spring, freezethaw cycles have returned to play havoc with road surfaces and our vehicles and our patience. Potholes have begun an early blossom in most area communities and these asphalt abysses and concrete craters can ring up some expensive car repair bills. But there are some driving and maintenance tips that can save you grief and money and smooth out the commute ahead. Potholes can cause major auto steering, suspension, tire and wheel damage so the best course of action is avoidance. Never assume you know the dimensions of a pothole ahead; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always best to go around if it can be done safely. If the hole is large and deep enough and your vehicle speed is just right, the wheel that enters the hole will experience a severe lateral impact from the front as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forced into the front wall of the pothole as the vehicle moves forward. This can bend suspension control arms, dent wheel rim edges, flatten tires, and break steering joints at the worst and affect wheel alignment in many cases. The myth that the best way to go through a pothole, if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t avoid it, is to floor the accelerator and run full steam ahead, is just that: a myth. If the hole is large enough the front wheel (or rear one for that matter) that hits the hole may still experience severe damage. However, slamming on the brakes can compound things as it will cause the front suspension to compress, leaving less shock or strut and spring travel to absorb any impact. And a wheel thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locked up by the brakes will have less of a chance to roll out of the hole without damage. Avoiding these chasms altogether is the best way,

For a long time Christie had wanted to do something extra for her hair. She felt it appeared dull and was thinning. Hair VolumeTM became her resource.
C
hristie encountered hair loss, which was very frustrating. “I have tried many things before, but to no avail.”
Read about Hair Volume™ Christie has worked in a pharmacy all her life. “Maybe that is why I was skeptical, when I first read about Hair Volume. I am always studying the declarations very carefully and there was something about this product,
which made me realize that it was special.”
Very positive experience “Today I have taken the Hair Volume tablets for 38 days and I can truly feel an improvement and less hair loss. My nails are also stronger and less grooved. All in all a very positive experience. I will definitely continue taking this product”, relates a happy Christie.

1947 Morris sedan needed tow after connecting rod fell off Lifestyle – Henry P. Dueck of Coaldale, Alberta, writes: “Here is the story of the first automobile I owned. It was the summer of 1951, I had recently sold my Harley 45, and I had about $300 which seemed to be burning a hole in my pocket. My friends were driving cars and I felt left out. “One Sunday afternoon, a fellow drove into our farm yard and offered me his car which he wanted to sell, a 1947 Morris sedan. It wasn’t much of a car but it had four wheels and it ran. We negotiated a price, and I think it was about $290. I made a few minor improvements and come next Sunday, I took my friends for a ride. “Driving down Hwy. #3 east of Lethbridge, an Austin A50 passed us, so I decided to overtake him and pressed the gas pedal to the floor. After a kilometre or so, I heard this terrible bang and, looking out my rear view mirror, I saw something bouncing on the road. We pulled over and lo and behold, it was a connecting rod. It blew a hole through the cast aluminum oil pan and took a piece of the
block with it. “We towed the car home to the farm, and the next day I went looking for parts. They of course had to order them from England and I waited six months for a new oil pan and a new piston and connecting rod. The block I was able to have welded. I finally had it running again by the spring of 1952. I made a quick trip and traded it in on a 1948 Ford sedan, a beautiful car and also our honeymoon vehicle. “Cars have been my passion. I have restored two Studebakers, a 1949 Starlight coupe and a 1962 Lark sedan as well as a 1957 IHC half-ton. I am presently working on a 1971 VW Bug. I also own a 2002 Sebring convertible as well as a Ford Windstar van.” Henry’s 1947 Morris was
built one year before the company launched its famous Morris Minor, in production from 1948 to 1971 and the first British car to exceed a production run of over one million vehicles. Morris cars were named after William Morris, an Oxford cycle and motor agent who built his first car in 1913, a Morris-Oxford. By the 1920s, Morris cars were among the best-selling vehicles in the U.K. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O.

Volunteers make all the difference with Big Brothers Big Sisters Community – At Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Lanark County, volunteers are our most valuable resource who have a large impact on mentoring children in the county. The findings from the recently completed Boston Consulting Group’s Social Return on Investment study, highlights the positive outcomes mentoring has in local schools, however without a group of dedicated and committed volunteers, none of this would be possible. Men, women, couples, students, teens and seniors; these are the individuals that make up our core group of volunteers. Without their dedication we could not provide: • Twenty-five traditional one-to-one matches for children across the county; • Ninety children would not be able to attend our after school program; • There would be no much-needed Go Girls, Game On or Clowning Around programs offered in our local schools; • There would be no in-school mentoring program and well over a hundred children would not have the opportunity to develop their self-esteem and wellbeing; and • Four-hundred and seventy-nine children would not have access to life changing mentoring opportunities in their communities if our volunteer base is not constantly expanded and maintained.
screening process All potential volunteers with BBBS of Lanark County are required to complete a volunteer application form. The purpose of the application form is to gather information on a potential volunteer’s motivation for volunteering, their interests and skills, their availability and their commitment to volunteering. Each volunteer that offers to mentor with a child through our agency is carefully screened and evaluated for the safety of the children. Thorough background checks including contacting references provided by the volunteer, the successful completion of a police records and vulnerable sectors check and a personal interview are conducted. Prematch training is also provided to all potential volunteers.
The BBBS matching process Great care is taken in the matching process to ensure a positive and healthy match between a volunteer and child occurs. Matching does not involve simplify matching the next potential volunteer with the next available child.

OPP report five fatal snowmobile collisions so far this season News – In the wake of five fatal motorized snow vehicle (MVC) collisions that have occurred in Ontario since the start of the season, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is warning snowmobilers to exercise caution at all times while out enjoying what should be a safe winter recreational activity. All five of these tragic fatalities occurred on roads and the OPP is reminding snowmobilers to always travel at speeds which take into consideration not only their ability as an operator, but also the weather and surface conditions in the areas in which they are travelling. This is especially important during heavy snowfall, high winds, when snow banks are present and when vis-
ibility becomes obscured or is reduced to zero. The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) provide designated trails that are marked, mapped, maintained and patrolled for the safety and enjoyment of all snowmobilers. By avoiding closed trails and not riding on roads, lakes, unfamiliar terrain and private property, snowmobilers can greatly reduce their risk of getting into trouble. Please make safety and common sense important aspects of your preparation and planning every time you head out on your snowmobile. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

Ignatieff Nicholas Ignatieff
June 30, 1940 - January 15, 2014 Peacefully in Lammermoor, Ontario, after a long struggle with Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, a rare form of blood cancer. He was cared for until the end in his home by his wife Cecilia, his children Nicholas Alexander (Anne-Catherine) and Natalia (Colin), and his sisters-in-law Deborah (Franco) and Eden (John). He will be mourned by his grandchildren MarieAlexandra, Sarah-Gabrielle, Louis Philippe, Yevgenya and Anisya, as well as his loving cousins and the extended Ignatieff and Fraser families. Nicholas was educated at Upper Canada College, University of Toronto (Trinity College), and the University of Manitoba. He pursued a career in public administration from 1963 with the Government of Canada and later with the Government of Ontario. His expertise became Labour policy and Occupational Health and Safety, in which he sought to guide successive administrations at Queen’s Park toward more progressive and humane regulatory measures. After retirement from the public service, he consulted to government agencies, worked for causes such as refugee integration and local sustainable development, and was active in the Russian Orthodox Church community. He is fondly remembered by colleagues and friends for his integrity, his care for others and his commitment to truth and justice. An historian by training, Nicholas held a strong interest in his dual Scottish and Russian ancestry, whose legacy formed his vision of a Canada shaped by immigration and diversity. From childhood, he was profoundly attached to the natural world and Canadian wilderness, particularly his final resting place - the Lanark Highlands of the Ottawa Valley. His family is grateful to many dear friends and neighbours for their help and support, especially to the Closs family of Lammermoor. Family and friends were received at Blair & Son (15 Gore St W., Perth, Ontario) on Friday January 17, from 3:00 to 7:00 P.M. A funeral service for Nicholas was celebrated at the Annunciation Orthodox Cathedral, 15 Lebreton St., Ottawa, on Saturday January 18th, 2014 at 1:00 P.M. followed by a reception. In Memoriam donations to the St. John the Compassionate Mission, 155 Broadview Ave., Toronto, would be appreciated.

We hold you tightly within our hearts, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same.

“WE REMEMBER”
JANUARY
Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our way of
saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown confidence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying…“We Remember”.

The new Fiat 500L: Growing to meet family needs Fiat’s return to North America continues bolstered by the recent news that Fiat has reached an agreement to purchase the remaining shares of Chrysler from a United Auto Workers union trust fund. While the new 2014 500L may have been based on a subcompact, this four-door five-passenger transport has an EPA classed large-car interior and actually has more inner volume than a Dodge Charger. It’s designed on the new “small-wide” vehicle architecture with 27 inches more length, plus six inches more in height and width. The entry level POP version of the 500L starts at $18,995 while my LOUNGE trimmed model came in at $28,240 with the optional panoramic AUCTIONS AUCTIONS sunroof and six speed dual-dry-clutch automatic transmission (all prices before destination, dealer prep, current QUALITY ANTIQUE & COLLECTIBLE AUCTION SALE incentives or taxes). Power is supplied by a 1.4 L 16 valve four-cylinder turboSaturday, January 25 at 9:30 a.m. charged engine which puts out 160 hp. To be held at our facility Other than the automatic HVAC sys15093 Cty.

Lifestyle – The vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices), come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2014 Fiat 500L I enjoyed for this review came from Chrysler Canada’s press fleet.

Auto Know BRIAN TURNER
for this price class. Over-sized door windows are matched with an equally tall windshield and back glass to provide a nearly 360 degree panoramic view which goes a long way to dispel any feelings that you’re in a Fiat 500 variant. The 500L boasts best-in-class front head and shoulder room along with rear cargo space (with the back seats in use). Entry to either the front or rear seats is a breeze with tall doors. Rear seat room is okay for two, but I wouldn’t want to be the third person on a longer trip. The 500L’s lighter chassis lets the engine make the most out of its 160 horses and acceleration is better than
expected with minimal turbo-lag. Highway speeds didn’t bring any excessive road or wind noises and the ride was smoother than expected for a shorter wheelbase vehicle. The wheel track that is proportionally wider than most vehicles gives the Fiat quick and firm cornering abilities while still being very stable. The nice thing about road testing vehicles in winter is the chance to assess heater and defroster power and cabin comfort. The 500L warms up fast and clears all the glass surfaces quickly at which point the automatic control can be set for a steady cabin temperature. The 500L’s optional P225/45R17 tires are available from a very large list of manufacturers ranging from $125 to $350 each. A dealership oil change with the required synthetic oil will set you back around $90. An engine air filter is a little pricey at $72 and front pads and rotors will cost $223 and $179 respectively. These parts will eventually become available from the aftermarket thus reducing their prices to a more moderate level.
NRCan hasn’t published fuel economy figures yet for the 500L. The EPA of the US rates it at 30 mpg (converted to imperial gallons) city and 39.6 mpg highway. The 50 L fuel tank should therefore deliver a range of about 575 km and cost around $56 to fill at $1.25/L. Like all new generation Fiats, the 500L is backed by a three-year/60,000 km basic warranty and a fiveyear/100,000 km power-train plan. Roadside assistance is also available for five-year/100,000 km. Since the modern Fiat 500’s global launch in 2007, more than one million of these efficient and city-friendly vehicles have been sold in more than 110 countries worldwide. Canadian sales were slow to start but have taken off to competitive levels. If you’re tired of the cookie-cutter approach to four-door vehicle design, the 500L might just be what you’re looking for.

Intelligent spy thriller offers up plenty of action MOVIE: Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit STARRING: Chris Pine, Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner, and Kenneth Branagh DIRECTOR: Kenneth Branagh RATING: PG Arts – There’s nothing like a good spy film to get you on the edge of your seat. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is a classic spy versus spy film with the fate of the free world at stake. The beauty of it is that the weapons of choice aren’t guns, or bombs, or W.M.Ds but, something truly evil; our own economy. Jack Ryan, a former Marine with a Ph.D. in world economics, was the perfect candidate to be recruited by the CIA. His handler, Harper (Kevin Costner), brought him in to be an analyst. Jack was to work on Wall Street making sure the wrong people weren’t gathering funds for another attack. Then Jack starts to see some disturbAUCTIONS

ing trends coming out of Russia. Huge amounts of money are being moved and hidden. As an executive of the company working with the Russians, Jack is asked to go and do an audit. As a CIA agent Jack suspects something catastrophic is in the works, and needs to uncover it. On his arrival at his hotel room Jack’s driver tries to kill him. Instinct takes over and Jack manages to kill his attacker, but Jack is badly shaken. He makes contact with the CIA and Harper shows up to talk him down. There’s no doubt
now the Russians, and in particular Russian businessman Viktor Cherevin (Kenneth Branagh), are up to something. For Jack it means he’s been upgraded from analyst to field agent. Jack knows that Cherevin is planning something that will devastate the U.S. economy, but he needs to know when. To make matters more difficult Jack’s fiancée, Cathy (Keira Knightley), shows up to surprise him. The two of them get pulled into a very dangerous game where the stakes are higher than anyone realizes. Kenneth Branagh is one of my favourite actors and directors. With a film like Shadow Recruit, a film that’s basically some mindless winter fun, he brings an intelligence and art that elevates it. He balances the action spy film with a sense of realism. There’s this sense that this scenario is very much possible, and it heightens the tension and makes the
action that much more exciting. For Branagh the action is great, but the film is really about two very intelligent spies dueling with each other. Chris Pine is really good. Pine’s not a bad action hero, but it isn’t what Jack is really about. Jack’s real strength is his ability to make connections and understand what it all means. His real weapon is his mind and Pine nails it. Keira Knightley and Kevin Costner are excellent. Knightley’s chemistry with Pine is electric, and Harper is one of Costner’s best characters. Then there’s Kenneth Branagh who as Cherevin is the quintessential Russian oligarch. A spy film is only as good as its villain, and Branagh is brilliant. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is an intelligent action film and a great spy flick. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.
OPP, OFSC kick off Snowmobile Safety Week News – Jan. 18 to 26 is Snowmobile Safety Week and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) kicked off the campaign with some important messages about staying safe throughout the snowmobile season in Ontario. OPP Commissioner Lewis, Deputy Commissioner Brad Blair, Provincial Commander for Traffic Safety and Operational Support were joined by OFSC vice-president Graham Snyder, members of the Highway Safety Division and other OPP and OFSC members to share information about the risks and dangers associated with snowmobiling. The OPP also shed light on the five fatal snowmobile collisions that have taken the lives of six people so far this season, citing speed as a causal factor in all five of these incidents, four of which occurred on roads and none on OFSC prescribed trails. According to the OPP, a change in behaviour is needed in some segments of the snowmobile community because speed was a causal factor in half of the 18 snowmobile fatalities that occurred last season (2012-2013) THE EMC - 44 - Thursday, January 23, 2014
and the other half were attributed to drinking and riding. The OPP and OFSC praised the collaboration of the STOP (Snowmobile Trail Officer Patrol) and SAVE (Snowmobile ATV and Vessel Enforcement) Unit members in their efforts to make snowmobiling in Ontario safe through a combination of enforcement and education. Frigid temperatures, unstable terrain, lakes and rivers and reduced visibility were identified as some of the natural elements that make snowmobilers a particularly vulnerable group of riders. The OPP and OFSC emphasized the importance of riding sober, avoiding lakes and rivers and they recommended staying on OFSC prescribed trails to increase their chances of enjoying incident-free riding. OFSC prescribed trails are groomed, maintained and patrolled throughout the season. As part of the kick-off, STOP chair Andy Chvedukas recounted a story about a significant snowmobile collision that almost cost him his life and left him severely injured. Chvedukas’ snowmobile collided with a
tree when he glanced back for just a few seconds to see if his fellow riders were still behind him. The OPP and OFSC are asking snowmobilers across the province to get on board with their efforts to make snowmobiling in Ontario safe and enjoyable by riding within the law. The OPP is committed to saving lives on Ontario’s highways, trails and waterways through the reduction of preventable injury and death. Initiatives are developed and delivered through the Provincial Traffic Safety Program. The OFSC is committed to proactive leadership in promoting safe, responsible riding, on and off Ontario snowmobile trails, by building safer snowmobiling knowledge, attitudes and behaviours through rider education, safety legislation, development and enforcement. For more information on snowmobile safety, please visit: www. mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/topics/snowmobile.shtml or www.ofsc. on.ca. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

Mayor heralds economic development, growth in Carleton Place in 2013 By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – As Carleton Place councillors begin the final year of their mandate, mayor Wendy LeBlanc took time last Tuesday, Jan. 14, to deliver her annual year in review speech, reflecting on the past 12 months and looking ahead to 2014. “In reviewing the accomplishments of this council during the past three years, we can be proud of how we have responsibly managed the growth of the community, how we have shown fiscal responsibility – both in the present and for the future, and how we have made major impacts on the quality of life here in Carleton Place,” LeBlanc told those in attendance at the regular meeting of council. The political leader noted the level of satisfaction of local residents and their desire to volunteer and engage in community life are indicators “we are on the right track for making our community welcoming, livable and affordable for all ages, interests, and family makeup.” Businesses moving to town are embraced by the community and offered services by way of assistance. Furthermore, growth and expansion are encouraged. “These accomplishments are ones that reflect our collective desire to work for the benefit of the entire community,” LeBlanc said. Inconsistencies Carleton Place is faced more and more with inconsistencies from the province, according to the mayor. “Over the years, all Ontario municipalities have come to expect grants from the province, yet as the province has had to deal with its own significant def-
icits, it looked to reducing grants as a means of saving money,” LeBlanc said. One of the biggest losses came by way of the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) that is tied to policing costs. Town staff and the Police Services Board, and even senior members of the Contract Branch of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) “addressed the significant additional costs in policing and keep this year’s property tax increase to under two per cent,” the mayor said. “However, this came at a cost to all other departments whose budgets were held at a zero per cent increase,” she added. The province denied Carleton Place’s bid for various infrastructure grants “because it deems us to be a wealthy community and can pay for projects through local taxpayers’ dollars.” The town responded to the provincial government about the unfairness of this granting system. “We believe the dollars should be distributed through an equitable formula as opposed to being allocated based on application analysis,” LeBlanc said. “Another significant concern is the financial destabilization of municipally run and private daycares, owing to the now schoolbased all-day kindergarten programs,” the mayor continued. LeBlanc and senior staff continue communications with the minister of education and the assistant deputy minister of education. On top, a coalition of mayors of eastern Ontario communities is forming to make representation to the ministry in February. Given all the uncertainties and challenges faced, LeBlanc thanked town staff for its ongoing and dedicated service to the
Team

Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc community. Economic development LeBlanc took time to highlight the work of economic development coordinator Jasmin Ralph: W.E.L.L. (Women Entrepreneurs from North Leeds and Lanark); the town’s new economic development website (www.businesscarletonplace. ca); new signage at each of the business/industrial parks; deal-
ing with requests for information from businesses and entrepreneurs exploring moving to or relocating in Carleton Place; attending trade shows to promote the town as part of the Ontario East Advanced Manufacturing Sector Team; meeting with business owners as part of her business retention and expansion plan and to collect information to profile businesses on the new website; and strengthening ties
with local and regional partners. “New retail shops, services and restaurants opened, particularly in the downtown core, along with new small businesses located in all three industrial parks,” LeBlanc said. “The value of the actual new builds amounted to $4 million of growth.” Progress continued on the McNeely Avenue extension to Highway 15. “The County of Lanark earmarked $1.4 million towards design and construction costs,” LeBlanc said, “and they will adopt it as a county road and four-lane it in the future.” She noted this roadway will “open several hundred acres of valuable property slated for housing, parks and trails, schools and highway commercial development.” “Opposite this property and located just south-west of the Highway 15 – Captain A. Roy Brown Boulevard junction – is a 35 acre site identified for industrial uses,” LeBlanc continued. “Progress in planning the massive project is steady, but it will be some time before local residents actually see concrete results.” St. James Anglican Church constructed a new assembly hall, housing classrooms, offices and accessible washrooms, in addition to a kitchen. The town sold the property adjacent to the Market Square on Beckwith Street to Parkview Homes. The development will consist of ground floor commercial with apartments above. In June of 2013, a major change in the recycling and waste management program came into effect with increased numbers of items accepted for recycling along with a change in the sticker system. “Housing starts in 2013,
amounting to $13 million, were lower than average, due mostly to the lengthy delays in the HighGate subdivision being able to get the shovel in the ground,” LeBlanc noted. “Council viewed plans for large scale residential developments from Nu-Globe and Jackson Heights, and DevCore is planning a stacked townhouse complex as well as a large residential development,” she continued. “Brigil has proposed a much-needed apartment building complex, and Cinnamon Suites on Coleman Street is now complete.” Just east of the apartment block, Darma plans to construct a condo townhouse complex. Staff and council developed a new Official Plan and reviewed and renewed the development permit bylaw. “Some significant changes include the designation of four strategic properties in the community that, in the future, could become multi-use developments close to the downtown core,” LeBlanc explained. “Updates to the development permit bylaw reflect the changes to the Official Plan as well as tweaking areas in the original document of five years ago that staff identified as issues to be resolved such as improving community input as well as streamlining the process for developers.” Other highlights “Many of these are special projects undertaken by individual councillors and, once again, I commend them for their work and also to the members of council who supported them,” LeBlanc said. Council unanimously reaffirmed its support for the See REVIEW page A/CP7

Co-op education placement at OWFC fans flames of possible firefighting career By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – In Carleton Place there are numerous co-operative opportunities for students to enhance their skills. Since last September 16-year-old Dylan Devlin, a Grade 11 student at Carleton Place High School (CPHS), has spent two hours daily, Monday to Friday, at the Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC). For close to 13 years the local fire brigade has assisted students at both CPHS and Notre Dame Catholic High School (NDCHS) in gaining experience in the workforce as they make important decisions about their educational career paths. “We have a student from Carleton Place High School for one semester,” fire chief Les Reynolds said, “and the following semester it’s a student from Notre Dame Catholic High School.” Devlin’s time at the OWFC comes to an end at the end of the month. “I’ve learned a lot,” he said, “and it’s been fun.” CPHS teacher Andy Kerr-Wilson referred to the OWFC as “prized,” a
great place for a student to do a cooperative placement. He tips his hat to the individuals at the fire department for their support of the program. “Over the course of several years we’ve had good kids, we’ve had some not so good kids,” Reynolds stated. “We’ve also had a few standouts.” “Dylan is a standout,” he continued. “He always shows up with a positive attitude,” fire prevention officer Matt Anderson said. “He’s a great kid, a hard worker.” Anderson himself is a past OWFC co-operative student. The fire chief noted new firefighter recruit Casey Gardiner, a full-time paramedic, is also a past co-operative student at the department. At the end of May 2013 Devlin finished treatment for cancer. “I am now cancer free,” he told the Canadian Gazette on Monday, Jan. 20. Devlin’s role at the OWFC is restricted, just like a probationary firefighter. He works under the direction of deputy fire chief Dave Joy and fire prevention officers Anderson and

Richard Jackson. He assists with the physical care of trucks, equipment and fire hall and checks, tests and maintains such. “Also, he helps both myself and our fire prevention officers with public education programs and inspections,” Joy said. Just before Christmas, Devlin accompanied the deputy chief to Elizabeth Court, a local non-profit housing corporation for seniors, to speak about fire safety. Although it hasn’t happened yet, if there was an emergency fire call Devlin would go on the truck with firefighters, lending assistance at the scene. Although he is back at CPHS in September for Grade 12, upon graduation Devlin would like to join the military. “Firefighting is a stream within the military Dylan could follow,” Reynolds said. “If it doesn’t happen, I plan on learning a trade and becoming a volunteer firefighter with the local fire department,” Devlin said with a smile. The OWFC’s upcoming co-operative student, from NDCHS, starts at the beginning of February.

Scotiabank gives back to local community in more ways than one By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
Community – A $5,000 donation to the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation from Scotiabank is “the icing on the cake,” said Robyn Arseneau, the foundation’s manager of fundraising. “It is amazing, wonderful and totally unexpected,” she added. On Friday morning, Jan. 17, she accepted the gift from local Scotiabank branch manager Christene Coulas. The money is earmarked for patient care equipment. Stanley Cup The $5,000 contribution wasn’t the only surprise Scotiabank had up its sleeve. On Dec. 8 members of the Carleton Place Novice A Kings volunteered their services at the CPDMH’s annual tree lighting festivities – just one of the many ways the team gives back to the local community. That night, to say thank you for the wonder-
ful work they do in Carleton Place, Coulas announced $1,000 in financial backing for the Kings, part of the Scotiabank Community Hockey Sponsorship Program. “Scotiabank branches support over 4,500 minor hockey leagues across Canada,” she said. Team members were delighted, but their level of excitement was about to go up a few notches. The door to the hospital’s boardroom opened and in came the much-loved Stanley Cup, the championship trophy awarded annually in the National Hockey League. For almost one hour, players had an opportunity to pose for an individual and family photo with the trophy. “It was a wonderful opportunity for us,” Arseneau said, “and it was great to share it with the kids.” The Stanley Cup surprise was all caught on camera for a Scotiabank commercial. To view the Scotiabank commercial, go to www.youtube. com/watch?v=gEuX4mvh5BY. Scotiabank staff, local politicians and CPDMH patients, staff and trustees also spent time with the Stanley Cup. Moreover, the trophy was
briefly taken to the Bowes Brothers Home for Christmas concert, taking place in the upstairs hall at the local arena. Proceeds from the concert benefited the hospital. Arseneau noted $4,644 was raised at the event.
fundraising goal for equipment is $341,000. The opening $200,000 of an $800,000 expense for X-ray replacement equipment, which will be paid over a four-year period, is included in the figure. “X-ray equipment has an average life of approximately 10 years,” Arseneau said. Medical equipment The new X-ray equipment is not expected at For the current fiscal year the foundation’s the CPDMH beginning in 2015.

Animal control issue packs Carleton Place council chambers once again News – The proposed Lanark Animal Pound (LAP) in Montague Township continues to be a hot topic in Carleton Place. Yet again, residents packed council chambers last Tuesday, Jan. 14, for the latest discussion concerning the matter. Carleton Place has temporarily postponed its decision whether or not to support the proposed construction of the LAP. “We want to find the best solution possible – for everyone,” mayor Wendy LeBlanc said. She previously stated, “Each person sitting around this council table has the same desire, to make sure the animals in our community are cared for in a

being promoted as “a bare bones facility.” They want the town continue to work with the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) in Smiths Falls. Currently, the municipality has an agreement with the no-kill shelter for its animal pound services – but only until the end of 2014. “Right now, the town rents pound spaces at LAWS,” Les Reynolds explained, and “it works.” Reynolds is town’s director of protective services and fire chief. He is also a member of the LAP working group, which also includes representatives from Lanark Highlands, Tay Valley, Mississippi Mills, Perth, Montague, Drummond/North Elmsley and Rideau Lakes. Going forward “Carleton Place have five spaces – A number of Carleton Place residents enough for two dogs and three cats,” are concerned about the LAP, which is he continued.
(BIA),” LeBlanc said. She added there have been an increased number of vendors at the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market offering accolades on the finished project. Four well-attended Music at the Market events, featuring familyoriented entertainment, were held at the Market Square Pavilion, along with Carleton Place Cruise Nights (every Wednesday from May 1 to Sept. 11). All proceeds benefit the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. Strongman champions battled it out in Carleton Place on Sept. 14, competing in five events. Local resident Volunder (Wally) Thorbjornsson, seven-time Icelandic champion in powerlifting and captain of his homeland’s powerlifting team, spearheaded the competition. “It was well received by the public,” LeBlanc said. The municipality participated in Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs’ First Impressions Community Exchange with Manotick. The exchange is designed to give each community an idea of how they convey themselves to potential visitors, investors and new residents.” “McNeely Park on Nelson Street now has a fully accessible play-

ground,” LeBlanc said, “and the Roy Brown Museum had just under 2,000 visitors in its first year of operation.” After reviewing a number of municipal bylaws, the Good Neighbours Great Neighbourhoods committee made 25 recommendations for changes to council. Certain ones were endorsed. The mayor noted the elevated path along the Mississippi Riverwalk Trail was rebuilt and made considerably wider, and mentioned the two new Shaun McInnis murals that were added to the downtown area: Stompin’ Tom Connors and the last train to Carleton Place. “Four young people from Carleton Place, sponsored by the Sister City committee, took part in a student exchange with Comrie, Scotland,” LeBlanc said, “and thanks to the generosity of Carleton Place Canadians owner Jason Clark, the arena has now been outfitted with comfortable attractive seating.” The majority of the Carleton Place & District Youth Centre on Mill Street was demolished in early October. The building is also remembered as the old Fire Hall. “The remainder (was) renovated into a delightful building housing public washrooms,” LeBlanc stated, “and when completed, this
new public gathering place will feature floral displays, seating and chess and checkers, all under sails for shade.” Carleton Place Municipal Academy (CPMA) certificates were handed out in October to 14 residents interested in how municipal government works. The CPMA program, presented by clerk Duncan Rogers and intern Catalina Blumenburg, covered items such as the types of government, council procedures, committees of council and the municipal election and budget processes. Council passed a motion for the electronic tabulation of ballots in the 2014 municipal election. Election Day takes place on Oct. 27. “Carleton Place Daycare marked 30 years of exemplary service to the children and families of the community,” LeBlanc said, “and our beloved librarian Janet French retired after over 25 years of service to the town.” Mariah Caswell became chief librarian in January 2014. “The steps and railing at the side entrance to the town hall were refurbished,” LeBlanc said, “and the final paperwork transferring Carambeck Community Centre from the (public) school board to the town took place in late summer.”

Upcoming meeting Reynolds said a meeting is planned for Jan. 31 with members of the municipal working group and representatives from LAWS. “Afterwards, we will hopefully have more information that I can bring back to council at a future meeting,” he added. “Where we are right now, if this pound doesn’t go through, and we need to take on more municipalities, we will be over capacity,” LAWS president Kathryn Hoyland said. “We can’t do it where we are without expansion.” Hoyland explained expansion at the current facility, one dog or more, would require an increase to the building’s septic system as well as re-zoning. Coun. Jerry Flynn asked if this was something being considered.
“It is being considered,” Hoyland said, “or a satellite site run by LAWS.” “If there was a financial agreement worked out with the various municipalities for animal control services, is expansion something LAWS would consider?” Flynn asked. “Yes,” Hoyland replied. Last week council unanimously carried a motion instructing Reynolds to further examine the LAP subject with the working group, and to guarantee a representative from LAWS is involved in the discussions. Understanding the LAP is an extremely passionate topic, Coun. Doug Black said, “As a councillor I think I speak for everyone that the last thing we want to do is cause duress and anxiety amongst the residents of Carleton Place.”

Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital’s redevelopment project as it’s been presented to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, following a presentation by the health-care organization’s chief executive officer (CEO) Toni Surko last October. LeBlanc said council “champions the redevelopment strategy through engaging the public and advocating when opportunities arise.” The town’s street reconstruction program was completed in early November. Major projects included Lake Avenue West and Lisgar and Princess streets. “The new Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority headquarters located in A. Roy Brown Park officially opened its doors in October – a feather in the cap of our community,” LeBlanc said. Bob White was named Citizen of the Year for 2013 at the municipality’s annual Appreciation Night, which took place on Dec. 6 in the upper hall of the Neelin Street Community Centre. “Completion of the Market Square Pavilion roof came about as a result of the support of the (local) Business Improvement Association
proper manner.” Montague proposed the idea of the LAP to area municipalities, asking all to share in the capital and operating costs associated with the facility. The price tag for construction is estimated to be between $85,000 and $100,000, and yearly running costs are anticipated to be $43,100, which is on the high end. The move follows LAWS exercising the termination clause in its agreement with the municipalities in September 2012, due to critical financial and overcrowding issues. “There was a previous agreement that didn’t end particularly well for some municipalities,” Reynolds said.

EDITORIAL
Proposed pound shows lack of foresight Editorial – The recent announcement of Montague Township’s intention to create a pound, to be called the Lanark Animal Pound, requires more research before it should be considered, if ever. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) asking six municipalities in Lanark County (Carleton Place, Perth, Lanark Highlands, Drummond/North Elmsley, Mississippi Mills and Tay Valley) to commit to a 10-year agreement with the township for pound services has been garnering deep discussion at council tables of late. Exercising good judgment was Smiths Falls, who decided to opt out at the get go. Beckwith will also retain the agreement they have with the Ottawa Humane Society. According to the document, the reliability of the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is Montague’s reason for spearheading the pound. Currently, municipalities have individual agreements with LAWS but in July 26, 2012 when the organization had fallen on hard times, they sought to terminate the contracts unless a
new one could be drawn up to address rising costs and overcrowding. Since then, LAWS has stabilized and continues to provide services to municipalities, though space is still an issue. It’s understandable that municipalities would seek a back-up plan due to problems they’ve had in the past, but surely this pound isn’t the answer. The costs associated with the facility alone should raise some red flags. Montague estimated the price tag to build the pound to be between $85,000 to $100,000. It will certainly be a bare bones facility because not much can be built for $100,000 these days. The operational budget projections included in the MOU show between $2,500 to $3,500 for veterinary care as well. Depending on the animal, one vet visit can often eat up that former number. Any pet owner in Lanark County should be concerned about the impact this pound could have. If their dog or cat wanders off, it would be held at this facility for seven days and if it’s not claimed within that time, it would be sent
to LAWS (municipalities will keep an agreement with the organization to rent a certain number of spaces from them). The pet could be adopted out to another home, or if overcrowding remains an issue, transferred back to the municipality to be euthanized. If municipalities are still going to be working with LAWS, then why throw a pound into the mix? Cut out the middle man. Instead of pouring the $100,000 into building the facility, which carries an estimated operating cost of $43,100 annually, put that money into helping LAWS with its space issues, whether it’s a new building or a satellite office. They are already in place and provide valuable resources. Why re-invent the wheel? Not everyone is a pet owner or animal lover, but for those who don’t have children these pets hold a special place. Many of these people
are also taxpayers who don’t balk at having to pay the school tax, despite seeing no benefit from it. If it was your child being picked up and taken to a pound, wouldn’t you want to know it was being cared for in a humane manner rather than thrown into a small cage in a cement dungeon? Mississippi Mills and Perth have supported the pound, while Carleton Place, perhaps partly due to a large number of concerned residents, has opted to seek more information. A working group with representatives from all six municipalities will be exploring this further. Despite being a vital part of the process, LAWS is not a member of the group, but has been invited to speak at a meeting Jan. 31. By putting some heat on this issue, perhaps municipalities will think twice about supporting the venture.

A call from Barry Park on Jan. 15, reported another Snowy Owl flitting from one pole to another in the Canadian Tire parking lot that morning. It was gone before noon. In the Carleton Place Christmas Bird Count, I mentioned only one owl was spotted but there were three Snowy Owls on this count. LYNDA C. BENNETT A third raptor visiting our area is on Glen Isle. Joyce and Mike, Martha and Arnie, plus Georgina Doe had all spot- 13. They suggested a scope was best to ted the Rough-legged Hawk on Jan. identify it, as it was far from the road.

DEAR EDITOR: Editor’s note: The following letter is in response to one that appeared in the Canadian Gazette’s Dec. 26 issue. I feel I must respond to councillor Gary Strike’s letter at the end of 2013. I remember well the day when Gary Strike, along with his mother and son, were introduced before the Mother’s Day horticultural tours. It was a pleasure to meet the family of my ground supervisor. I feel, however, there must have been some misunderstanding in all the excitement of the day. Mme. Leger said: “The most ephemeral thing at Rideau Hall, is the Governor General, all rest is history.” So, for the sake of historical accuracy, I submit. Firstly, there are seven Official Residences. Six are in the National Capital Region, under the mandate of the National Capital Commission. The seventh is at the Citadel in Quebec City in the care of Public Works Canada. Secondly, my grounds maintenance team always shared the honour of “presenting”. It was unanimously agreed that a South African should present the ceremonial spade to Mr. Mandela. Thus, our grounds foreman, Roeland Jensen, not his supervisor, represented us on this memorable occasion. PURCHASE FINANCE FOR
Lifestyle – Had an interesting email from Jenn Kelly of Carleton Place a week ago. More than 20 American Goldfinches, five Northern Cardinals, lots of Dark-eyed Juncos and Blackcapped Chickadees are at her feeders. Jenn says the Mourning Doves come in to clean up the mess. Fun to watch the action amongst these feathered visitors. The Northern Hawk Owl that Ray Holland reported to me two weeks ago was seen by Georgina Doe and I on Jan. 10. By Jan. 13, Martha and Arnie Simpson, Joyce and Mike Jaques had observed this northern hunter along Highway 7, just east of Carleton Place. A Snowy Owl flew across the highway in this area that day as well.

Carleton Place Tim Hortons locations Friends of Hospice seeks volunteers help kick off Bowl for Kids Sake Jan. 30 By KELLY KENT
kkent@perfprint.ca
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Carleton Place Tim Hortons have been lacing up their shoes to support the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake for years. This year, Carleton Place Tim Hortons is entering three teams to bowl on Feb. 22. The employees work collaboratively to raise funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County and then they come out on bowling day and have a great time bowling together. On Jan. 30, we will be doing a Tim Hortons Bowl for Kids Sake kick off at Tim Hortons in Carleton Place. The event will take place from 10:30 a.m. to noon at the Tim Hortons on Franktown Road and from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the Highway 7 and McNeely Avenue location. Come out to learn how you can bowl for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County and enter to win a free coffee maker donated by the Tim Hortons of Carleton Place. We look forward to seeing you on Jan. 30. For more information, please call Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County at 613-283-0570 or visit www.bigbrothersbigsisterslanark. ca.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County will kick off its annual Bowl for Kids Sake fundraiser Jan. 30 in Carleton Place at the two Tim Hortons locations. Above, participants from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kick-off at the Franktown Road location and below, the Highway 7 store.
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Hub in Almonte is arguably one of the most community-oriented organizations in the area, with their work at the well-known second-hand store, the Rebound Centre and most recently, the Hub Hospice. Now, the Hub is looking for local volunteers to contribute in another way. The Friends of Hospice is an entirely volunteer-based group started recently by Glenda Jones and The Hub to assist their hospice board members with projects, events and other activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need volunteers who can be counted on to help out when help is needed,â&#x20AC;? Jones said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we want this to be a fun and social kind of group.â&#x20AC;? The Hub Hospice was started in October of 2012 and has been working in palliative care in the area ever since. The organization is strictly notfor-profit and aims to provide services to those in need free of charge. In order to do that, the hospiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board members are frequently hosting fundraisers and educational events to spread the word and raise awareness. The Friends of Hospice, Jones said, will help to support the board in those endeavours and more, lending a helping hand when hands are needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not strictly a fundraising arm for the board,â&#x20AC;? Jones said, explaining that group members will not be focused on raising money or orga-

nizing rallies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to feel they have a connection to the hospice without dedicating too much time.â&#x20AC;? Group members will meet on an as-needed basis, Jones said. The original idea was to meet once a month; however, meetings may be more or less frequent than that depending on how many events or activities are going on at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is definitely not a huge time commitment,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to scare anyone away. We are simply asking for interested volunteers to help out when they can.â&#x20AC;? The first official meeting of the newly-formed group was held on Jan. 7 at Fairview Manor in Almonte. Jones said she was pleased to see such an interest and a strong turnout to the initial meeting because she had only put out an informal call for interested people a short time before hand. However, more volunteers are always welcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for enough people that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not always bothering the same few over and over,â&#x20AC;? Jones said. The bottom line, Jones said, was that she wanted to organize a group of people who wanted to donate their time to the Hub Hospice without making a daunting commitment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for is kindhearted people who want to be connected to the hospice,â&#x20AC;? she said. Interested volunteers can find more information on the Hub Hospiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.hubhospice.com or, alternatively, they can contact Jones at 613-256-6479.

Drink coffee to help support TYPS in Mississippi Mills By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new, caffeinefilled way to help support the youth of Mississippi Mills. In partnership with Equator Coffee, Take Young People Seriously (TYPS) has created a new blend of the roasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s locally famous coffee to raise money for the organization and support their programming for youth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best kind of fundraiser,â&#x20AC;? said Natalie Dalton, the executive director at TYPS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Instead of asking for money weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re selling something that people would buy anyway. Now they can sup-
port TYPS just by trying a new type of coffee.â&#x20AC;? Called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bean There, Done That,â&#x20AC;? the newly-created blend of Equator coffee is a variation of their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freakinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Goodâ&#x20AC;? blend. Bags come in two varieties â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whole beans or ground â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and sell for around the same price as any Equator Coffee blend. The bonus: TYPS receives between $5 and $6 per bag sold to use to put towards their facility and their programming. TYPS has been an invaluable institution in Almonte for young people, Dalton said, and they receive more than 5,000 individual visits to their facility each year. In fact, out of approximately

Dalton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get kids who are scholars, kids who are homeless and everyone in between.â&#x20AC;? Though the organization receives some funding municipally and provincially, Dalton says they are in need of more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have expanded our programming extensively over the last little while,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we try to keep the activities free or close to free so all the kids can participate.â&#x20AC;?

boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nights, cooking classes, dances, after-school help, movie nights and more, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just the fun and games TYPS needs help with. TYPS also needs help getting ahead of their operational costs, Dalton said. Their facility, located at 65 Mill Street in Almonte, is an expense they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to lose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can accommodate 120 people here,â&#x20AC;? she said, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;there are so many kids who want to and need to be here.â&#x20AC;? At the very least, Dalton said she is hoping to raise $1,000 with this fundraiser, or enough to cover half of one monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rent for the facility. However, Dalton also said she hopes
the sales from fundraisers like their newly-created coffee blend will help keep TYPS around for as long as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed. The name, she said, comes from the idea that all adults have gone through the rough teenage years and knows what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to need a helping hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been there,â&#x20AC;? she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all done that. Hopefully now we can be the helping hand we needed back then.â&#x20AC;? Currently, coffee can be bought directly from TYPS, but Dalton hopes local stores will soon begin carrying it as well. The blend will be sold indefinitely, for as long as people want to drink it.

Mississippi View: What’s making news in town this week kkent@perfprint.ca
News – Here’s what’s making news in Mississippi Mills this week.
ties would use. Montague is asking for area municipalities to commit to a Memorandum of Understanding, which is basically an informal agreement that a municipality will stand behind the construction of the pound, before they will move forward. The discussion at Mississippi Mills town council surrounded the issue of the motion reading that the town commit to a “10-year Memorandum of Understanding.” Several councillors were concerned about committing to the new pound for 10 years when so many of the details are still unknown. In the end, an amendment was carried to remove the wording “10year” from the motion. The new motion was carried with no further discussion.
From Mississippi Mills town council meeting Jan. 14: Hauled liquid waste bylaw At their Jan. 14 meeting, Mississippi Mills town council passed a bylaw to impose rates for administrative and processing costs for the treatment of liquid hauled waste. The imposed rates are as follows: annual hauler permit fee: $235; annual hauler permit revision fee: $130; liquid material (holding tank waste): $2.36 per cubic metre; liquid material (septic waste): $7.74 per cubic metre; liquid material (generated outside Town of Mississippi Somerton Mills): $20.75 per cubic metre. Committee of the Whole passed a motion recommending that counLAWS Council authorized entering into a cil approve the addition of the name one-year extension agreement with Somerton to the town’s reserve list the Lanark Animal Welfare Society for consideration for the future namto provide animal pound services for ing of a newly created park, facility or street within the municipality, but the 2014 year. specifically the Pakenham Ward.

goal of reducing its implementation impact to the extend possible. Gillis said in his motion that the current study shows that average water bills within the municipality could almost triple from $577.52 in 2008 to $1,619.30 in 2021 in order to meet the requirements of the wa-
ter and sewer master plan. This could cause hardships for many residents, he said, and certain projections and developments charges may need to be reviewed in order to keep the costs down. The motion was passed by Committee of the Whole.

New clinic will help prepare patients for successful surgery
During the assessment, patients’ medical history—including their medications, allergies and any reactions to anesthesia— will be reviewed. Patients will have the opportunity to ask questions about their surgery, the type of anesthesia they are to receive and any preparation required.
This ad is generously underwritten by the THE EMC - A/CP13 - Thursday, January 23, 2014
“The PAC will be an excellent opportunity to evaluate patients who would benefit from preemptive assessment and therapy,” says family physician Dr. Melissa Forbes. “We will be able to identify patients with medical problems well in advance of surgery, and order appropriate tests and consultations to prepare them adequately for their surgery.” Another benefit of the new clinic, says Fran Cameron, Manager of Emergency and Surgical Services, is the information that will be made available to patients. “By providing education at the clinic, we will be giving more comprehensive care to our surgical patients, and working to eliminate risk in order to provide a quality experience.” Fran Cameron is Manager of Emergency and Surgical Services for Almonte General Hospital R0012519446
By Fran Cameron Almonte General Hospital is launching a new clinic to ensure optimal surgical outcomes by providing assessment and education of surgical patients at an earlier stage in the surgery process. Starting on January 31, 2014 and continuing every second Friday thereafter, the new PreAnesthetic Clinic (PAC) will be staffed by one anesthetist and one nurse. Surgical patients will be pre-screened by their surgeon and an Almonte General Hospital anesthetist to identify medical or physical risks that require further investigation. This process will help ensure a safe and successful surgical experience. At the clinic, patients will be assessed regarding suitability for surgery at Almonte General Hospital and for any further tests or consultations that may be needed.

Libertarian Member of Provincial Parliament joins autism committee By DEREK DUNN derek.dunn@metroland.com
News – Jack MacLaren appears to have undergone something of a transformation. For years he was a virulently antigovernment, rural libertarian who opposed all mainstream parties. His sole public focus was on protecting private property rights. Then he mounted a fierce coup against longtime incumbent Norm Sterling to win the PC nomination in CarletonMississippi Mills. He won the largely conservative riding handily during the 2011 election and went off to Queen’s Park prepared to do battle with farm-animal welfare groups, Quebec construction industry protectionists and others. It didn’t take the MacLaren’s Landing farmer long to adopt the partisan messaging expected of every MPP: Ontarians deserve better; Tim Hudak is a capable team leader; the PC party stands up for working families. He was also blessed with plenty of mud to sling at a decade-old Liberal government: • A health “premium” introduced soon after signing a promise not to raise taxes; • An ineffective eHealth system that cost $1 billion; • Using martial law to trample the civil rights of thousands during the G20 Summit; • A $7 billion untendered green energy contract to Samsung of Korea; • Another $1.1 billion to cancel gas plants slated for must-win ridings. The list goes on and on. MacLaren is so adept at compiling examples of wasted tax dollars under Liberal premiers that he can fit $4.1 billion’s worth in a relatively short sentence. And yet, lately, his voice grows weary when mouthing the party position or slamming the current government’s record. Maybe the former offends his independent streak. Maybe the latter should be so obvious as to not need further mention. In the trajectory of a politician’s career, it usually takes some seven to eight years to come to this realization. Maybe MacLaren is a quick study. Government, equity Regardless the explanation, Jack MacLaren seems to have altered his approach to politics. He confesses to a degree of frustration when it comes to partisan games. “It’s sickening sometimes, the amount of party politics down there (at Queen’s Park),” he said during a phone interview at a family member’s home over the Christmas holidays. That revelation may come as a surprise to many who see the former president of the Ontario Landowners Association as akin to a US Tea Party radical. He continues to situate himself firmly on the right side of his Progressive Conservative party. There is no doubt about that. He despises much of what government does; believes it too big; says it steals freedom and destroys social cohesion; calls it an anathema to free market capitalism. However, at least three times during the interview MacLaren voluntarily talked about collective responsibility toward the less fortunate. “As a caring society we have a
moral responsibility to help the less fortunate,” he repeatedly stated. Many would interpret that to mean government intervening to ensure equity. But it also includes non-governmental groups, churches for instance, helping the less fortunate. True, ever since he joined mainstream politics he has seldom missed an opportunity to signal his support for seniors. But not until recently has he broadened this fortunate group’s constituency – many of whom happen to fit into his party’s base – to include autistic children and their families. “I’ve met with a number of these families at my office and I have to tell you: they need our help,” MacLaren said. “What these families are going through, quietly, on their own, without help from anybody, is truly amazing.” He doesn’t rhyme off a lot of facts and figures on the topic. He said it is a growing problem – from one in 180 some 10 years ago to about one in 90 today. But he isn’t sure of the exact numbers. The important thing for MacLaren is the anec- Carleton-Mississippi dotal evidence; the families he has Jack MacLaren.
committee that begins travelling the province Jan. 13 to hear from families of the developmentally disabled. He is confident the New Democrat, Liberal, and PC members will work cooperatively and offer constructive solutions. “I am quite proud and privileged to be on this committee. We are all pulling in the same direction.” There is no question that whatever he may want to do, as an MPP, will cost taxpayers’ one way or another. Could it be more programs? Tax breaks? Research? He isn’t committed to a solution just yet, but acknowledges the inevitable. “It will take money,” he said. That’s where his party differs from others. MacLaren wouldn’t grow government and the tax burden to fund any changes. He’d cut green energy spending, and money being spent elsewhere. He talks of spending money “on people not things” like windmills and other ventures. The Christmas spirit may have gotten to File photo his heartstrings, but his pocketbook Mills MPP Joins committee is handled with all the frugality of a Hence his inclusion on an all-party true Conservative. sat with and listened to. “Do you know what they are asking for? Do you know what they want?” he says, emphatically. “A night’s sleep. That’s what they want from us.” The left doesn’t hold a monopoly on compassion, of course. But conservatives prefer to express theirs on an individual basis, not through government. And whom they prefer to support differs. Many throw their support behind members of the military or business owners. But to zero in on a group that, at first glance, doesn’t seem a natural ally – autistic kids? – can only be explained by presuming MacLaren was deeply touched at an emotional level. He seems to admire families with an autism member. They stay together against the odds, work hard day and night, do what they can with what little they have: all aspects that complement his worldview. That it gets less exposure – physical illnesses still garner more sympathy than mental – also appeals.
Almonte Lions kept busy in December; in need of new members Community – At the first meeting of the new year for the Almonte Lions Club, held at the Almonte Legion hall on Jan. 7, the members were surprised to hear how many volunteer hours they had collectively accumulated over the December period. Their activities included the distribution of free hot dogs and hot chocolate at the Almonte Arena following the Santa Claus Parade; volunteering service; baking and donating home made cookies for the December blood donor clinic; and the Lions Christmas Basket Project. It is important to recognize the valuable contribution made by Mills Community Support Corporation; Patrice’s Independent Grocer; the Almonte Venturers and their leader Scouter Garland Best; as well as Janice, Madison, Brett Barr and Dakota, Aidan, Martin and Deana Dumont, Nathan De Patter, Stella Lawrence, Robert Gloss and Ian Lind to the Christmas basket project. It was truly inspiring to see so many youth many of whom had not met before, working together effectively as
a team to quickly and efficiently filling up the baskets. The numbers for the annual Christmas basket project continue to climb, both in number of baskets distributed and their cost. Although the community responded wonderfully this year, as ever, to fundraising to provide the increasing need for help at Christmas, there was a significant financial short fall, indicating increased fundraising efforts for the 2014 Christmas season. Two-hundred Almonte Lion volunteer hours were tallied and almost 900 persons were served. This is significant as the Almonte Lions Club needs more members, so they can continue the important work they are doing. The club has a great team and they work together well, but in order to continue to meet the many demands that are presented to the Lions Club more members are needed. If you would like to give back to your community, consider the Almonte Lions Club (serving our community for more than 65 years). Another way of supporting the
important work that the Lions club is doing is to attend their fundraising dinners. Remembering that we serve all of Mississippi Mills, we hope that people from Pakenham, Clayton, Blakeney and in between, as well as people who live in Almonte will respond to our plea for your help or make a point of attending our bi-monthly fundraising dinners. By attending our fundraising dinner you can have a great meal, enjoy good music, as well as helping your community. This number of volunteer hours would have been much higher if the Lions’ November dinner served at the Legion hall had been included. Billed as a “Night to Movember”, the event was an evening of food and fun with the menu featuring flown-in arctic char and chicken Ballotine, which was enjoyed by more than 80 persons. This event was a fundraiser for annual campaign for the research and treatment of prostate cancer. A good many volunteer hours were dedicated to this project, but the four-course Friday night dinners
have proven to be successful fundraisers for the Almonte Lions Club. The next Friday night dinner is rapidly approaching – Jan. 31st at the Almonte Legion hall, with a cash bar and appetizers served from 6 p.m. and dinner served at 7 p.m. Billed as “Caribbean Night” the dinner will feature Caribbean fare including sweet and sour ribs, jerk chicken, rice, pastas, veggies, salads and desserts. Guests are invited to wear their island wardrobe items such as tropical shirts, skirts, hats and sandals or whatever. Following dinner, there will be music provided by Bernie Costello and friend for your listening or dancing pleasure. Tickets are available from Lions club members, at My Upholstery Shop on Mill Street, or call Lion Garth Teskey at 613-256-6778. We will deliver tickets, and can also provide take out meals. The club can also be contacted by visiting their website: www.almontelionsclub.com. Submitted by the Almonte Lions Club.

Community – It’s hard to imagine when we’re in t she midst of winter looking at ice and snow on our yards and gardens, that it is time to look ahead and dream what can happen when the miracle of spring arrives. The best place to realize that dream begins on Monday, Jan. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Cornerstone Community Church (near the roundabout) when the Almonte and District Horticultural Society holds its first meeting. Our first speaker will be Amanda Homeniuk, creator of unique terrariums combining moss, rocks, feathers, etc. who will share her experience giving workshops and selling her creations under the name “Moss Feathers”. She describes her creations under glass as part horticulture and part art so come out and learn a new way to express your inner self.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This March Break eight students from Notre Dame Catholic High School (NDCHS) in Carleton Place will participate in a mission trip to an orphanage in Guatemala. The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) organizes the trip annually, sending a contingent. Last Tuesday, Jan. 14, the NDCHS students attended the regular meeting of Carleton Place council, providing an update on their upcoming mission. Chloe Brown, Terron James, Matt Langlois, Jocelyn Leiva, Sara Mitchell, Jesse Plunkett, Emily Santos and Phoebe Williams will be heading to Guatemala March 10 to 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had over 30 eligible students for this trip,â&#x20AC;? NDCSB teacher Margaret Moss explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The selection process was extremely challenging.â&#x20AC;? The eight chosen are described as overachievers on a number of levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They all bring something unique to the team,â&#x20AC;? Moss said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and they all work well together.â&#x20AC;? NDCHS students will be at the Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos Orphanage in Parramos, Guatemala, which is approximately one hour from Guatemala City. While there they will be working in the gardens and kitchen, teaching English, helping with construction projects, working with special needs children and playing and having fun with the youngsters. Brown said the orphanage is home to approximately 350 children, newborn to 18-years-old. James explained no child is adopted out of Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos Orphanage. Until the age of 18 they are given a place to live and schooled. After reaching maturity they must give one year of service back to the orphanage before they leave. The cost of the trip works out to roughly $2,200 per person.

Canadians hold off Bears, blow out Kanata in CCHL action By STAFF
the top two teams in the CCHL, the Canadians are the runaway leaders with 77 points (38-6-0-1). The Bears, solidly in second, are well back with 61 points (29-13-3-0), five of those losses coming to the Canadians. Stefano Momesso had the Bears ahead 1-0 after one period of play. But back-to-back unassisted power play goals from Evan Peterson and Kelly Summers turned the tide in the second, leading to the tense final frame. Not surprisingly, Therien received first star honours with his 39-save performance. McVeigh was named the game’s third star. Bears started Michael Pinios, who faced 21 Carleton Place shots, was pegged with the loss.
Gareau broke the ice, assisted by Adam Lloyd and Larry Smith. Andy Sturtz added his league-leading 33rd goal six minutes later to make it 2-0. Kasey Kulczycki kept Kanata close, scoring at the 14:55 mark. But the Canadians kept the visitors at bay the rest of the way, putting things out of reach in the third period on goals from Stephen Baylis and Vinny Post. Canadians completely dominated the contest, outshooting Kanata 42-17. Goalie Cole Skinner took the loss despite making 38 saves. His counterpart Justin Laforest, the game’s first star, made 16 stops for the Canadians.
Sports – Tyson Stewart’s eighth goal of the year with less than five minutes left in regulation lifted the Carleton Place Canadians to a 3-2 win over rival Smiths Falls Bears Friday night.

Thunder solidify hold of third place in Valley Division By STAFF
Sports – Heading into the home stretch of the EOJHL season, the Almonte Thunder solidified their hold of a playoff spot with a win and shootout loss last week. With nine games left, the Thunder remain in third place in the Valley Division with 32 points (13-12-2-4), just two points back of the Arnprior Packers for second with a game in hand. Stittsville Royals now sit in fourth with 28 points with Shawville and Perth right behind with 27 and 26 points respectively. At home Saturday against the improving Pontiacs, Almonte built a 3-1 lead early in the third period and held on for the 3-2 victory. Cameron Cornwall and Jordan Bosely gave the home team a 2-0 lead through one period of play. Julian Dumont’s power play goal late in the second closed the gap to 2-1 but Luke Martin restored the Thunder’s twogoal cushion 4:40 into the third, assisted by Bosely. Christopher Bones brought Shawville back to within a goal at the 13:42 mark but that’s as close as they would come. Goalie Richard Barr was solid, making 35 saves to preserve the win. Danick Boisvert made 31 stops in the losing cause for Shawville. Thunder didn’t make things easy for themselves, going two men down with back-to-back minor penalties less than a minute apart early in the third. But the penalty-killing units did their job and kept the Pontiacs off the scoreboard. Last Wednesday, the Thunder probably deserved a better fate but dropped a 3-2 decision in a shootout to the Packers in Arnprior. Almonte fired 42 shots, eight in overtime alone, but could only muster a pair of second period goals from Brendan Rousselle and Jordan Bosely. Packers goals came from John McLean early in the first period. Despite outshooting Arnprior 8-2 in the five-minute OT, the fight for the bonus point came down to the one-onone skills competition. Packers’ Damian Armstrong was the only one to score in the shootout. Thunder goalie Alex Daley suffered the loss despite a 23-save performance. Erik Miksik was the game’s first star, allowing just the two goals on 42 shots and stopping all three Almonte snipers in the shootout.

Thank you to Mark and Sarah, who, on a snowy Sunday afternoon, spotted her at the arena and followed her to our front porch, made sure that someone was home, and that our story had a happy ending. Our faith in humanity is renewed!! Jim and Lisa Ryan R0012522927/0123

Robbie Burns Day this Sunday at Drummond Central School Community – In honour of Robbie Burns Day, an afternoon of Scottish celebration is once again planned by the Middleville Community Centre Association, in conjunction with Drummond Central School. The 2014 event will take
place at the school (a larger venue), on Sunday, Jan. 26 from 2 to 4 p.m. This year we are pleased to welcome renowned fiddler Wade Foster, who will be playing Celtic tunes accompanied by Henry Norwood. Born and raised in Perth, Foster is known all
over the Ottawa Valley and beyond as a multi-instrumentalist and singer. He is most recognized as a versatile fiddle player, bringing new sounds into all genres of music, not just traditional fiddle. Enjoy a wee breath of Scotland: Celtic tunes, high-
land dancing, a Scottish sing-along, and of course the pipes, along with a menu that includes whiskey marmalade ice cream, shortbread, coffee and soft drinks – even a taste of haggis, too! Join the fun for some traditional Scottish hospitality. Admission is $12 for adults,
$6 for children, (five and under get in free). For more information or to make a reservation, please contact Heather by leaving a voicemail at 613-259-2904, or via email at burnewin@ storm.ca. Last year’s event was a sellout, so be sure to reserve a spot soon. Please
note that reservations will be made in the order in which they are received. All proceeds will go towards maintaining the Middleville Community Centre, and music programs at Drummond Central School. Submitted by the Robbie Burns committee.
Local author, firefighter signs book Feb. 8 in Almonte Community – Searching for the truth is the most dangerous thing firefighter Donny Robertson will ever do. Everyone believes the blaze that killed Donny’s Captain was just a terrible accident. Donny’s search for the truth will cost him his home, his relationship and his job. His only chance is to confront the person pulling the strings. It’s a desperate plan and it will cost him everything he has left. The Spark is a fast paced, intelligent thriller that offers an insider’s view of the unique and demanding world of firefighting. Written by veteran firefighter John Kenny, The Spark gives the reader a
firsthand account of the merciless heat and blinding smoke; the camaraderie and conflict between men and women who place their lives in each other’s hands; the moments of grim hilarity, unexpected grace and heartbreaking tragedy that are part of life in the fire service. Kenny will be signing copies of The Spark at Mill Street Books (52 Mill St. in Almonte), on Saturday, Feb. 8 from 1:30 until 3 p.m. Kenny has been a professional firefighter since 1989. The Spark is his debut novel and was published Oct. 6, 2013.

Community – Welcome Wagon is the largest greeting service in Canada, and for close to 24 years Carleton Place representative Sharon Shea (centre) has welcomed new residents to town and offered best wishes to newlyweds and first-time parents with “the most famous basket in the world.” On Dec. 31 she retired. As a result, newcomer Christine Walrond (left) joins 15-year representative Patricia Brauer. The ladies gathered Thursday, Jan. 16, for a special picture.
To the many local businesses that partnered with me to represent them, thank you. To Mayor Leblanc, Reeve Kidd, and staff at our local municipal offices, thank you for support. To the thousands of families I have visited over close to 24 years as Welcome Wagon Representative for Carleton Place, I entered as a stranger and left as a friend. Thank You! Sharon Shea
