Animal Pound collaboration dead By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – The latest proposal between the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) and area municipalities comprising the Lanark Animal Pound (LAP) working group has been euthanized. “The LAP working group met on Friday, March 14,” LAWS president Kathryn Hoyland told the Canadian Gazette. “I received a call from Glenn Barnes after the meeting and he said the latest proposal was off the table.” Barnes is the chief administrative officer (CAO) of Montague Township. “There were not enough municipalities on board to continue with that model,” Hoyland said. The LAP working group consists of Carleton Place, Drummond/North Elmsley, Lanark Highlands, Mississippi Mills, Montague, Perth and Tay Valley, and Rideau Lakes has indicated an interest. The latest proposal saw the projected LAP in Montague constructed to a larger scale and leased to LAWS. The new building would have replaced the no-kill animal shelter’s current, aging facility, which is located at 253 Glenview Road, just outside of Smiths Falls. LAWS would have used the LAP for its shelter function, and as part of the deal, provide pound services to Lanark County municipalities. Municipalities have a legislative responsibility to provide a pound – a facility where animals are stored for a redemption period of five days, not including the day of pick up. After that, under the Animal Research Act, the legislation that governs the operation of pounds, the only options available are adopting the animal out, destroying it
or selling it to a research facility. Carleton Place currently rents five pound spaces at LAWS, which is enough for two dogs and three cats. However, the agreement runs until the end of 2014. Back to the beginning Hoyland said a meeting was scheduled for last Tuesday, March 18, in Smiths Falls, which was attended by Barnes, Mississippi Mills CAO Diane Smithson, Smiths Falls manager of planning and sustainable growth Lynda McKimm and herself, in order to determine how to proceed. “Basically we are back at square one and the municipalities are moving ahead with the LAP,” she said. Hoyland asked if Montague would consider donating property near the proposed site of the LAP or ponder a lease-toown deal. “So that LAWS might be able to build a new shelter,” she said. The animal shelter president was told to send the request in a letter to Montague and it would be presented to council at an upcoming meeting. “That is where we are to date,” Hoyland said. Barnes told the Canadian Gazette “there are a number of hurdles municipalities need to abide by including making sure procurement policies are followed.” “Other service providers have the right to bid for these (animal protection) services,” he continued. “It must be fair and equal for everyone.” The CAO added every municipality “needs to be comfortable with what we are going to do.” Barnes was hoping to schedule a meeting with the LAP for early April to discuss going forward.

Heritage Conservative District study process begins in Almonte By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
News – Since Almonte was established in the 1800s, many of its original buildings have stood the test of time and remain preserved as iconic and integral parts of the community. In an effort to continue the conservation of the town’s heritage, the Town of Mississippi Mills has taken the first steps in establishing a Heritage Conservation District (HCD) by hosting a public information session on March 20. The Heritage Conservation District Study for Almonte was proposed by town council in late 2013, but is subject to public support. The information session held on March 20 was the first step in the process, meant to educate the public and determine whether or not there is public support. The study will
only proceed if there is sufficient want for it in the community. Allan Teramura and Heather McArthur, architects with the firm in charge of conducting the study, Watson MacEwen Teramura, gave an in-depth presentation for a full house at the meeting, which was held at the Almonte Old Town Hall. “The first step – the reason why we’re here – is to determine if there is any public support for this study,” said Teramura. “The input of the community will help us with that decision.” Teramura then gave the floor to McArthur, who took over the information session by defining the meaning of an HCD and explaining the pros and cons. She started out by showing a map of the proposed HCD area, which would encompass the downtown core of Almonte, including the majority of its oldest

heritage buildings. “Many of the buildings in the proposed area already have individual heritage designations,” McArthur said, “but collectively they start to tell the story of Almonte, and that is why they need to be protected.” McArthur also explained that everything that lies within the HCD would be protected by it: buildings, landscape features, river shoreline, waterfalls or almost everything else. The idea behind an HCD, McArthur said, is to preserve and protect the existing heritage of an area, and to improve upon it until it becomes a true asset and point of pride for the community.

United Counties sign resolution of support to save Kemptville Campus
Counties to help Old Town Kemptville with funds Counties council has voted in favour of providing funds to the Old Town Kemptville Business Improvement Area (BIA) to assist with a specific promotional campaign strategy to bring shoppers and business back into the downtown core.
Both the Municipality of North Grenville and the Kemptville BIA say Old Town Kemptville businesses have been hurt by the closure of County Road 44, a thoroughfare leading into the town from the south. The road was re-opened recently even though the project is not finished. It had been closed since last summer when work by a construction firm hired by the Counties began on the CPR bridge. The project was to be completed by the end of November. “They (the BIA) did have a vibrant community before the construction,” Dave Gordon, Mayor of North Grenville, said in support of the resolution. “This has broken the cycle.” Les Shepherd, Counties director of works, planning services and asset
management, said the project cannot be completed until the frost is out of the ground. He noted the road will not have to be closed completely again but work will be ongoing until the early summer, including paving. Consultant hired to develop Official Plan The United Counties have entered into an agreement with MMM Group Limited for consulting services related to the creation of a Leeds Grenville Official Plan. The Counties is required by the Province of Ontario to complete an official plan by March 31, 2015. The bylaw passed by council follows a recommendation from Committed of

They are hoping you will join in as well. The Lanark County “Hike for Hospice” is a two kilometre walk from the Crystal Palace in downtown Perth. The fundraiser is a team effort of Community Home Support – Lanark County’s Hospice Palliative Services and national sponsor, Bayshore Home Health, both of which provide hospice palliative care for Lanark County residents.
Please donate and/or sign-up and walk with us to raise funds for something we all care about: the expectation of being treated with dignity and respect when someone we care for is at their most vulnerable. There will be a barbecue, live music and a silent auction. Registration starts at noon. The walk starts at 1 p.m. All funds raised here stay here. To register and start fundraising go to www. chpca.net/hike or print a pledge package from the “Our Services Calendar” tab at www.chslc.ca.

News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council meeting held March 20. Counties council passed a resolution urging Premier Kathleen Wynne to immediately issue a two-year moratorium on the closure of the University of Guelph, Kemptville Campus, and reinstate the intake of students in the fall. The resolution was passed unanimously and supports Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark’s request earlier this week in the Ontario Legislature. Although Clark’s request was denied, council is asking the Premier “in the strongest possible way” to reinstate all programming, including academic, skilled trades, and research programming. It requests the Premier, who is also Minister of Agriculture and Food, to place a moratorium on the closure to give local officials time to come up with a strategy to save the near century old Kemptville agricultural and trade school. “This is a slap in the face to eastern Ontario,” said Dave Gordon, who is mayor of North Grenville where the college campus is located. The North Grenville municipal council passed a

VOLUNTEER FAIR April 7, 2014 at 10:00 am - 4:00 pm United Way Lanark County (UWLC) surpassed their 2013 campaign goal of $350,000 last week. Above, UWLC board members hold numbers bearing the grand total of the campaign: $351,443. Clockwise from top left: chair Johann Ramsaran; vice-chair Helen McIntosh; treasurer Kris Denis; Tim Campbell; secretary Lynne Loken; Matthew Breary; and Barb Woods.

United Way Lanark County exceeds 2013 campaign goal News – Last week, United Way Lanark County’s (UWLC) 2013 campaign goal of $350,000 was officially surpassed, with a grand total of $351,443 donated! This marks the second consecutive year of exceeding target, an achievement that showcases the support and commitment of volunteers, community members and partners of United Way Lanark County. “We are so happy to be in a position to make this announcement,” stated Johann Ramsaran, chair of the board of directors. “After such a successful 2012 campaign, we increased our target by $20,000, a tall order that was met with incredible support and zeal from the community. The programs and services provided by our 16 member agencies assist 1 in 7.5 people in Lanark County, a huge impact that we are very proud of.” The campaign season began in late September with four kick-off breakfasts in Carleton Place, Perth, Smiths Falls and Mississippi Mills, sponsored by local restaurants and the community. Several initiatives were introduced throughout the fall, including an Ontario Public Ser-
vice team of bikers stopping and refuelling at Foodsmiths in Perth on their way to Toronto in support of United Way, and four home hockey games hosted by the semiprofessional hockey teams in Lanark County – the Perth Blue Wings, Almonte Thunder, Carleton Place Canadians and Smiths Falls Bears. There was great support from the community at preestablished events such as the annual My Town’s Got Talent, where the Legions of Perth, Smiths Falls and Almonte joined Town & Country Chrysler and the Valley Players to support the show. In addition, Carleton Place saw the second annual successful Live Man Auction, sponsored by the staff at the local LCBO. “The LCBO’s customer support through donations at the cash register was just incredible, and with a competition between the Perth and Carleton Place stores, we saw a huge increase in funds donated,” said fund development officer Emily Danaher, “it was very exciting to see the enthusiasm of the staff at all Lanark County LCBO stores for the campaign!” In addition, building on the successful introduction of the
Seeing is Believing Tours last year, two separate tours were held in Lanark North and Lanark South, allowing donors and members of the community to get a first-hand look at where their dollars go and how they impact the community. “Through the generosity of local sponsors,” noted Danaher, “we were able to increase our advertising and media coverage at no cost, allowing more of the donations to be put right back into the community. The Home Hardware stores in Almonte and Smiths Falls, the Independent Grocers in Perth, Smith Falls and Almonte, plus Allan Chartered Accountants all pitched in, Neilcorp Homes sponsored our mailers and we received a great amount of sponsored advertising with Metroland Media, Lake 88, Jack FM, the Lanark ERA, Millstone News and the Humm.” “This kind of sustained funding can only be achieved through the support of the community,” said Fraser Scantlebury, executive director of UWLC. “We are so happy that we continue to see this support year after year, as it gives us the ability to keep

All members of the community are encouraged to visit the UWLC website, Facebook page or call the office directly to access these surveys starting the week of March 31, to have their voice heard and help determine the direction of future funding.

Community volunteer income tax program growing in popularity News – Free income tax service for persons with modest income and a simple tax situation is in full swing in Lanark County during the months of March and April, and is more popular than ever. Income tax clinics have been operating since the beginning of March and have already been successful in filing more than 250 tax returns. This confidential service, offered by trained volunteers, is available to taxpayers who have a yearly income of $30,000 or less, couples who have a combined yearly income of $40,000 or less and parent and child who have a yearly income of $35,000 or less. This drop-in tax service has been taking place in various locations and at various times throughout Lanark County. Perth offers clinics at the Perth & District Union Library (30 Herriott St.), the Salvation Army Family Centre (40 North St.), and The Table (190 Gore St. East). Smiths Falls offers clinics at the Community Health Centre (2 Gould St.) and at Rainbow Community House (42C Empress St.). Carleton Place offers clinics at Lanark Community Programs (30 Bennett St.); and Lanark offers clinics at the North Lanark Community Health Centre (207 Robertson Drive). Pakenham offers clinics at Linda Lowe Daycare (106 Isabella St.).
This assistance enables taxpayers to file their taxes so that they can continue to receive the Child Tax Benefit, GST credit, the Guaranteed Income Supplement, the Working Income Tax Benefit, and the provincial benefits (Trillium). Here are some of the forms that you should bring to the income tax volunteer: • Tax slips for all income, such as T4 (employment income), T4A (pension and other income), T4A(P) (Canada Pension Plan), T4A(OAS) (Old Age Security), T4RSP (Retirement Savings Plan), T4RIF (Registered Income Fund), T4E (Employment Insurance), T5 (interest income), T5007 (benefits), RC62 (Universal Child Care Benefit), • Tax slips for deductions or credits, such as T2202 (tuition), RRSP contributions, children’s fitness and children’s arts amounts, medical expenses, donation receipts, • Property tax or rent costs for 2013, name of landlord, • Dates of birth for any dependents, and • 2012 Notice of Assessment, if available.
The free income tax service for those with modest income and a simple tax situation continues to be available for individuals throughout Lanark County until the end of April. Above, community income tax volunteers Sheila Willis and Susan Lafosse help prepare and efile tax returns. Submitted photo

Community – Since 1917, the Captain Hooper Chapter of the IODE has been raising funds for important community organizations with commitment and perseverance. The group founded as the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire has 37 active members from the Carleton Place and Almonte areas and aids several other organizations by holding fundraiser events and by raising awareness of some of our community’s most important services. The IODE has raised funds for several organizations such as Interval House, the Therapeutic Riding Program, The Lanark County Food Bank and the hospitals – just to name a few,” said A large part of our mandate is education and so we raise money for our community’s school nutritional programs as well as bursaries to the Carleton Place High School, Almonte High School and Notre Dame. The organization is always looking for fresh and exciting ways to raise money and and this year, they have the opportunity to book The Psychic Experience with Matthew Stapley. “I have always been a big fan of paying it forward,” Stapley said. “Having grown up in Carleton Place I have used the hospital and the schools and the community programs which have helped me and when I received this opportunity I felt it would be an excellent way to give back to the community organizations which have helped me and many others. The IODE is a group helping community services to make the community the best that it can be. I knew I wanted to be a part of that right away.” Stapley, psychic-medium of Lanark County origin, who has raised money for organizations in Ottawa such as Operation Come Home and the Ottawa Humane Society will be performing a show at the town hall auditorium in Carleton Place to help raise funds on April 11. “I can’t use words to describe how happy I am to be able to return to my hometown to help the IODE,” Stapley said. “My grandmother and now my two aunts have been members of this organization and I have seen first-hand the good within the community that they are able to create.” Stapley specializes in spirit communication in group settings bring-
will consist of a talk, messages from spirit and a question and answer period,” Stapley said. “When we shine our light onto the paths of others in a helpful way the inspiration that is generated forms an ambitious bond that we like to call community. The one thing that being a member of the IODE has taught me is that we all need to work together to create change, raise awareness and be the best we can be – individually and collectively.” The IODE is excited and proud to bring this uplifting event to Carleton Place on April 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at Soul Scents in Almonte, C Style Fashions or Apple Cheeks in Carleton Place, or from any IODE member.

COMMENTARY
Food for our future Editorial – Food is one of the most important aspects of our lives. It sustains and nurtures us. And throughout Lanark, Leeds and Grenville there has been a movement to ensure we all have access to safe, healthy food that is locally grown, ensuring there is a place for our growers and producers. Today, the long talked about food charter was unveiled at Farrell Hall in Perth. After months of planning by the steering committee, foodcoreLGL, including a survey to local residents about what they would like to see, the food charter will become a reality. The concept began to be shaped back in March 2013. It provides a set of guiding principles promoting food that is “fresh, accessible, safe and affordable and an agricultural system that is strong both now and in the future. A food charter will strengthen the local economy, support local producers, promote environmental conservation and improve the health and well-being of residents,” according to foodcoreLGL’s website: www.foodcorelgl.ca. It’s important for our future generations (and ourselves) to understand how our food is produced and where it comes from. Ever wondered how far that head of broccoli or apple travelled to make it to your table? Wouldn’t we all feel safer knowing that our potatoes or carrots came from a farm in Perth or a farmers’ market in Kemptville? Having a food charter will open a dialogue about food and agriculture in our communities and make connections with organizations and groups. It can ensure we all have safe, nutritious food and also protect farmland and provide further opportunities for growers and producers. This is a document for the future and we hope it will be adopted not only by residents of the tri-counties, but also businesses, schools and local levels of government. It will certainly give us all some food for thought.
Jealousy ends up tearing apart a precious hand-me-down Lifestyle – Emerson was not happy. The hand-me-down box was wide open in the middle of the kitchen floor, and the entire family sat around it in chairs as we would at a prayer meeting at the Lutheran Church. The call had come that morning: “She’s here...she’s here.” That’s all the station master had to say. We knew the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina had arrived on the CPR train. Of course, there was no touching it until after supper, the kitchen had been “redded” up, and our hands washed. Why we had to wash our hands before we touched a wood crate that came all the way from Regina by train was something I could never understand, but no one got near the box, or the mounds of clothes packed inside until we had thoroughly washed our hands! The reason Emerson was in a state was because a nice store-bought sweater had been claimed by Earl. Alpaca, it was, Mother said. We had
to admit it was a fine specimen of a sweater, and it fit Earl to a ‘T’. Earl, being several sizes smaller than Emerson, and weighing about 50 pounds less, was the logical owner of the newly arrived sweater, once worn by a rich cousin in Regina. But Emerson, claimed since he was older, he should have had first pick, and as far as he was concerned the sweater would fit. “It’s supposed to be tight...that’s the style of it,” he reasoned. Mother would have no part of the argument. The sweater was Earl’s and that was the end of it. Alas, if that were only the case! The entire box was emptied, and as usual, there was nothing in it for my sister Audrey or me...all boys’ clothes. We knew some of Uncle Jack’s suits would eventually be made into skirts or jumpers for us, and the dresses Aunt Lizzie had no more use for, being several sizes too small for Mother, would be turned into blouses.

been sorted, pawed over, and put into piles, and the empty box moved out to the summer kitchen, where it would eventually be pulled apart and used for kindling for the Findlay Oval. It looked like Earl was the only one who had anything decent out of the whole box. That is, everything else had to be cut down to size, let out, pressed or passed on to the rummage sale the Salvation Army held once a year in Renfrew. The whole evening was spent pawing over the clothes from Regina, with Emerson still insisting the one prize in the entire box, the Alpaca sweater beNews Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Laura Armstrong DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-283-3182 ,ext. 138 Classified/Regional Roundup 613-283-3182 Judy Michaelis x122 email: jmichaelis@theemc.ca Cheryl Code x133 email: cheryl.code@metroland.com Fax: 613-283-5909

longed to him. Earl had rolled it into a ball, and it was under his arm, and as far as he was concerned, he owned it, lock, stock and barrel! Even when we were on our knees around Mother saying our nightly prayers, Earl never let go of the sweater, and we knew he would be wearing it the next day to the Northcote School. Well, at the crack of dawn, which was when we five children were roused from our warm beds, all heck broke loose! Earl, who only cried if he was physically hurt, was crying like he had lost an arm. Between sobs he was calling Emerson every vile name he could think of. Mother left making the porridge and took the stairs two at a time to settle whatever was causing the uproar. Well, it was plain to see what had happened, and it was going to take a genius to fix it. In fact, not even a genius could repair the damage.

How Emerson did what he did without being heard through the night would forever remain a mystery. But somehow he had snuck downstairs to Mother’s sewing basket; gotten her good scissors that no one could touch, and cut out the sleeves of the sweater. And there he stood, fully dressed with a clean plaid shirt and over the top was the now-sleeveless sweater. He ignored the fact that it barely touched his waist. The arms fit, and to Emerson that was all that mattered. Now, Earl was small, but he was powerful when he was in full anger mode, and he attacked Emerson with fists flying. Everyone stood around in the upstairs hall, which was really Audrey’s and my bedroom, too stunned to enter into the battle. Even Mother looked like she had turned to stone. Earl grabbed at the sweater, latching onto a shoulder where it had been relieved of one of its sleeves, and See MARY page 9 • 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.

decided every night for a week he would “red” up the kitchen, and that meant putting on a long white pinny, washing the dishes, drying them, and putting them into the cupboard. “Girls chores,” he called it. Earl didn’t think the penalty was severe enough, and so all the time Emerson was at his “Girl chores,” Earl sat on the bench behind the table making faces and sneering in Emerson’s direction. Emerson dared not complain, because he knew Mother could easily add another house chore to his punishment...like peeling potatoes or making the toast in the morning. More girl chores!

THANK YOU,
MARY pulled with all his might. And right before our eyes, the piece of yarn he had a firm hold on, reamed off the sweater, falling in a soft mound on the bedroom floor. Soon there was very little left to that side of the sweater. It was unravelling and if Earl kept at it, soon there would be nothing left but the band on the bottom! Well, there was nothing to do but admit that was the last of the Alpaca sweater. Audrey said she doubted if even the wool could be saved. Mother said she would think of a punishment for Emerson after we had all gone to school, and she could get her wits about her. All the way out the long lane, Emerson walked half a mile behind us, like someone with leprosy. If there was anything Emerson hated, it was doing house chores. Mother

Renowned climate change expert to speak at April 14 public meeting
The speaker Jim Bruce was the first director of the Canadian Centre for Inland waterways in Burlington and was active in drafting the US/Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement 1972 and 1978. Subsequently he was assistant deputy minister of environmental management and of atmospheric environment service (weather service) of Environment Canada. After leaving the federal government he served in senior positions in the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. He led in the establishment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and for several years participated in their various working groups on economic and social dimensions of climate change and water impacts. For his work with IPCC, he was selected as a member of the IPCC delegation to receive that organization’s Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo in 2007. More recently he has acted as a consultant on climate change adaptation for many national and international projects.
Tuberculosis skin test sometimes required for work, school Community – TB stands for Tuberculosis. It is an infectious disease that usually attacks the lungs. Although the incidence of TB is low in our area, it is important to prevent the spread of Tuberculosis and protect vulnerable people. As a way to protect vulnerable populations, a TB skin test may be required by employers, agencies, colleges and universities. Tuberculosis is spread from person to person through the air, when people with TB cough, laugh, sneeze, sing, or even talk. However, to be infected with TB, a person usually has to have repeated contact with someone who has TB disease. Signs and symptoms of TB disease include: cough lasting three or more weeks, fatigue, night sweats, loss of appetite, fever, weight loss and positive TB skin test There is a difference between being infected with TB and having TB disease. Someone who is infected with TB has the TB germs, or bacteria, in their body. The body’s defences are protecting them and they are not sick. Someone with TB disease is sick and can spread the disease to other people. A person with TB disease needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. Testing for TB can be done at the health unit and at many doctors’ offices. It will require two trips – one to have the test done and one to have the test read and interpreted two to three days later. For more information about TB, visit www.healthunit.org/infectious/tb/ tb.htm. or call 1-800-660-5853.
Bruce holds a Masters degree in Physics (Meteorology) from the University of Toronto and Honorary Doctorates from The University of Waterloo and McMaster University.

Registered dietitian Dianne Oickle of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit shared ideas and tips on how to engage children in cooking. Depending on their age, toddlers, preschool or school aged, all children can help and learn about food and how it is prepared. Being hands on, children feel part of the food preparations and are much more likely to eat healthy nutritious meals. ing them how to cut, with minimal safety risk.” Helping to set the table is another way for children to learn and be helpful in the kitchen. As for school age, Oickle agreed that the kitchen is the perfect classroom as children can read a recipe for literacy proficiency, measure the ingredients for math, mix and cook which is related to the sciences and it is a great way to learn. “That’s also a good age to mea-
sure out the ingredients for baking and even making the dish,” encouraged Oickle. “Make a tortilla wrap with different fillings, toss a salad with the dressing, pick out a recipe, put together yogurt and fruit, cereal and milk or peanut butter spread on bread.” For all children as they progress in learning about food, how to use kitchen utensils, they also develop fine motor skills. “They think they are cooking even when they are not

Lifestyle – Teaching children how to cook helps them to make healthy food choices, appreciate food and learn a skill that will benefit them as they grow older. “The more children do in a kitchen, the better it is all the way around,” said registered dietician Dianne Oickle of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. “Even to know the difference between the types of knives is a safety aspect in the kitchen. The kitchen is a perfect classroom for a kid.” Oickle even feels that toddlers can be of help while learning about colours, textures, smells and the use some math skills. “If you have chopped carrots or sliced cucumbers, perhaps they can count these,” said Oickle, “which will keep them busy, engaged and feel part of making the meal.” She also mentioned that when children are involved in preparing food, they are more likely to eat the foods they have helped with. Other tasks could include stirring a mixture in a bowl, washing vegetables, empty ingredients from measuring cups, putting paper in the muffin tins, adding chopped items to a casserole. “This teaches them that we prepare food and there’s a role in preparing food and that they have a role, as part of the family,” said Oickle. “What is an apple; what is an orange, what do you do with it and some fruits you eat the skin and some you can’t. They learn those basic things even at a toddler’s age. For preschoolers, they can assist with pouring a liquid from a measuring cup, mashing cooked vegetables, counting the number of carrots from a bag, remove shells from hard-boiled eggs, make a trail mix or stir ingredients together. “Safety in the kitchen is always the most important thing, whether talking about toddlers, preschoolers or any age of kids,” indicated Oickle. “A regular bread and butter knife or spreader with a dull edge can be used with really ripe fruit to cut into pieces. There is skill involved in teach-
ily value cooking food.” Oickle has referenced Simply Cook and Enjoy, as well as information from the Dairy Farmers of Canada. For free resources or to talk with a registered dietitian at no

Broadway classic The Lion in Winter opens April 3 at Studio Theatre Arts – Kings and castles, knights and fair ladies, schemes and skulduggery. Has there ever been a more captivating formula for entertainment? Starting April 3, the stage of Perth’s Studio Theatre will be transformed into a 12th century English royal court as James Goldman’s The Lion in Winter roars to life for seven thrilling performances. When The Lion in Winter burst onto the Broadway scene in 1966 it was an instant sensation. Three years later, the film adaptation starring Peter O’Toole, Katherine Hepburn and Anthony Hopkins won a host of international awards. And now, when this monumental play about medieval intrigue arrives at the Studio Theatre it will feature our
own cast of acting greats, under the direction of theatre veteran Kathie Reid. “The Lion in Winter is a sharp, witty period piece, a deliciously dark comedy that challenges our actors and the audience,� says director Kathie Reid. “I’ve had my heart set on directing this classic play for some time, and this year my wish was granted.� The play is set in 1183 AD at the court of King Henry II, during Christmas. But this is no merry yuletide story; the aging, conniving monarch has planned a reunion where he hopes to name his successor. To that end he has summoned his scheming wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine; his mistress, Princess Alais, whom he hopes to marry; his three sons,
Richard, Geoffrey, and John, all of whom have designs on the throne; and the young but crafty King Philip of France, who is also Alais’ brother. Naturally, with the fate of the empire in the balance, everyone engages in their own brand of deception and treachery to stake their claim to the throne, taking sibling rivalry – and ribaldry – to new heights. The Lion in Winter, more than most plays, demands skilled actors, and Reid has found them. Playing the part of the shrewd Henry II is well-known thespian David Bird; Janet Rice is his queen, the stately Eleanor of Aquitaine. Lucas Tennant, Scott Duncan and Mark Daley are Henry’s three sons, while Julian Rice-Laprisse plays the young
French king, Philip, and Mary Ann Majoury is Philip’s halfsister Alais. A powerful cast, portraying a powerful family. Of course, with a play of this scope and complexity (there are nine scene changes in all, brilliantly conceived by set designer Earl Sonnenburg and set painter Bruce Raby) there is often as much going on behind the curtain as there is on stage. Stage manager Roberta Peet, lighting director Yogi Sepp, and props manager Margaret Wilkinson – along with a host of costumers – are the
backstage stars of the show. Perth’s Studio Theatre Productions continues to push the boundaries of community theatre, with plays that broaden the range of our local actors, and extend the creative vision of our set designers. Shows like The Lion in Winter prove that the Studio Theatre has truly arrived as an artistic force to be reckoned with. And the theatre’s new elevator and bright new lobby make the entire experience more rewarding and accessible than ever. The Lion in Winter runs April
3, 4, 5, 11 and 12 at 8 p.m., and April 6 and 13 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance at The Book Nook (613-267-2350), and $22 at the door or at Tickets Please in Perth, which accepts phone, credit card and online orders (613485-6434, www.ticketsplease. ca). Students with ID pay just $10 at the door. For further information, call the Studio Theatre box office at 613-267-7469 or visit studiotheatreperth.com. Submitted by the Studio Theatre.

Dreaming about the 40 shades of green and Irish landscape time was 2006 and we’re overdue for another visit. Our good friends and travel companions Wendy and Frank LeBlanc have been to many places. But they’ve never visited Ireland. We have been talking about going there together for a couple of years. Now we have penciled it in for this summer. We will visit both the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland which, of course, remains part of the United Kingdom. The “Emerald Isle� is steeped in history which makes it a perfect destination for us because we’re all so interested in history. There are three things about the island which are keys. My wife and I both had grandfathers who were born there. Kathy’s paternal grandfather was from Dublin. My maternal grandfather was born and raised in Belfast. My father’s ancestors are from Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. In fact the Maguires were one of the most prominent and powerful clans in the north. They were “the chiefs of Fer-

managh� dating back to 1302. The Maguires controlled Lough (lake) Erne and the river of the same name. The river and its lakes (Lough Erne is really two large lakes) formed the chief high road through Fermanagh in ancient times. Kathy’s grandfather was a cooper (a barrel maker) who ended up practicing his vocation on both sides of the Atlantic. With reference to my wife, have you ever heard a name any more Irish than Kathleen Maguire? No one ever asks Kathleen about her roots. They know automatically! The second reason we love Ireland is its people. Despite “The Troubles� which have afflicted the north for far too long, the people of Ireland, north and south, are some of the finest we have ever had the pleasure to
meet. They are genuinely friendly, outgoing and helpful. On the first night of our second visit to the island, in September 2006, we took a taxi from our hotel in the Ballsbridge district of Dublin to Temple Bar, the thriving entertainment area in the city centre, on the south side of the River Liffey. Driver’s tip Our driver was a local, something which is rare in the big cities of Europe but common in Ireland. We asked him to set us down at the end of Grafton Street, the pedestrianized main shopping thoroughfare in the heart of the Irish capital. The man chatted amiably with us throughout the short drive. He was particularly pleased to discover our Irish heritage. We Irish stick together!
At Grafton Street Kathy produced her purse to pay him. It was an uneven amount and he asked her to round it off which meant we paid less than the fare showing on the meter. On top of that he refused her offer of a tip. Instead he provided a tip of his own! “Now you be havin’ a good time at da pub. But watch out for da Romas,� he advised. Realizing we didn’t know what he meant he clarified the matter. “Gypsies! They’ll snatch your purse and be gone in a heartbeat,� he warned Kathy. At that time Romania was on the verge of admission to the European Union. A relatively large number of Romanians had gained admission to Ireland. Most were hoping to find better lives although sadly that hasn’t worked out very well. Unfortunately a number of them gave all Romanians a bad name by becoming involved in panhandling, begging and petty crime, especially in Dublin which has nearly one-quarter of the Republic of Ireland’s
population of 4.6 million. Many months after our visit I read newspaper stories about the Irish government rounding up many so-called “Romas� and airlifting them back to
their native land. Based on complaints from the Irish government the Romanian authorities followed suit, offering free flights home See COLUMN page 20 R0012172507_TF
Lifestyle – Monday March 17 was St. Patrick’s Day so the “wearing of the green� is over for another year. This spring, however, it is not the green related to St. Patty’s Day that is on my mind. Instead I am thinking about the “40 shades of green� inherent to Ireland. After the winter we have just come through, the first sprouts of green grass have never been more anticipated. Spring officially arrived last Thursday, followed by more winter. I won’t be happy until I see grass growing, leaves sprouting and blossoms appearing. The sooner the better! My wife Kathleen and I are not winter travellers. We prefer the spring, summer and fall for our excursions, including overseas trips. When winter arrives we batten down the hatches and dream of what lies ahead. Early in the New Year, when the spring and summer brochures arrived at our travel agent’s, our focus was on Ireland. We’ve been there twice and loved it. But the last

for its citizens. All of that aside, our third reason for loving Ireland is the weather. It can be very wet of course. But sitting in the Atlantic, off the northwest coast of mainland Europe (and very close to Great Britain), the country has a maritime climate. In March the average daytime temperature is 10 Celsius (C) or 50 Fahrenheit (F). The lowest monthly averages are in January and February when the temperature is generally a moderate 8C (46F). The warmest months are July and August when, on average, the mercury reaches a comfortable 17C (63F). Last week here I would gladly have settled for 8C! It was late September (2006) when we called a cab to take us from our hotel in Limerick to the nearby international airport at Shannon on Ireland’s west coast. It was the end of our Irish stay and we were catching a flight to Manchester, England to visit friends there. As usual in Ireland the cabbie was a native. It was a cool afternoon and we were both wearing light jackets. I noticed he was sporting a short sleeve shirt. Like most of his countrymen he was friendly and talkative. He wanted to know where we had been and where we were going. I asked him about the weather in the Limerick region. How cold it gets in winter, for example. “You see this,” he said, tugging on the sleeve of his shirt. “This is my uniform year round!” Yes, rain or no rain we love the weather in Ireland! The secret for visitors is to go prepared with a raincoat and brolly. But if you don’t like the weather wait five minutes and it will probably change. Irish showers are normally followed by warming sunshine. The cycle often repeats itself several times a day. Rail vs. road For us the train is the preferred method of travel in Ireland. The island is sparsely populated. Add those living in Northern Ireland (about 1.8 million) and the entire country has fewer than 6.5 million residents. Except for some four-lane roads which provide access to Dublin, the
largest city on the island, all of the highways are two lanes (or “single carriageway” as they say in Ireland and the UK). If you rent a vehicle the going can be slow because many of the routes are winding and narrow. Distances are reasonable of course. At its longest Ireland is just 302 miles (486 kilometres) in length. At its widest the island is 189 miles (304 km). The history of the island is intriguing with estimates of the first human habitation dating to 8000 BC. There are prehistoric monuments (including numerous stone circles), monastic ruins and sacred towers all across Ireland. Highlights in the south include the monastic settlement at Glendalough and the gardens and striking mansion at Powerscourt Estate, both in County Wicklow south of Dublin. On the west coast you can view the barren, stony topography of the Burren or visit the magnificent Cliffs of Moher. On the east coast, just across the border in Northern Ireland is Downpatrick and impressive Down Cathedral where St. Patrick is said to be buried. Go to the top of the country and travel the rugged Antrim Coast, making a mandatory stop at the impressive Giant’s Causeway. In Belfast you can view the Northern Ireland Parliament Buildings at Stormont. But seeing the areas at the heart of “The Troubles” is a must in my opinion. Back in bustling Dublin there is so much to see and do. A visit to St. James Gate Brewery, where Ireland’s famous “black nectar” Guinness stout is brewed, is a highlight for beer lovers. Every visitor gets a free pint! If you don’t like Guinness you’ll enjoy the 360degree views of Dublin from the taproom, high atop the Guinness storehouse. There is much to recommend Ireland and we are eagerly anticipating our visit this summer. Following a winter we are still trying to shake in early spring, it is Ireland’s 40 shades of green that are most appealing to me!

All proceeds go toward emergency funds. There are approximately 43 items available to bid on. This is a great opportunity to shop and help your local no-kill animal shelter! To bid on an item, visit www.facebook.com/friendsofLAWS. Shelter update Although it doesn’t feel like it, spring has sprung! Spring is a very busy time at the shelter and we already have three litters of kittens to welcome the season. Keep an eye on our website for these sweet little guys as they become available for adoption. Due to the influx of kittens that occurs in the spring months, we seek the public’s assistance with helping us get stocked up on kitten milk formula and kitten canned food. Kitten season is a time of year where we utilize our available foster homes the most. If you have ever considered being a foster parent to an animal, please visit our website at: www.lanarkanimals.ca and select the “Fostering Info� under the “How to Help� tab on our homepage. Alternatively, you can contact the shelter at 613-283-9308 for more information. This week’s featured animals Java, Jemma and Jade Are you a cat whisperer? Do you have the time and patience to give
happy and content. Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is located on Glenview Road, just off Highway 43, about 2 kilometres west of Smiths Falls. The shelter is open Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Write to us at P.O. Box 156, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1 or contact us at 613-283-9308, or email at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca.

If you have lost a dog or cat please check our website or phone or visit the shelter. If you have found a dog or cat please visit our website to find the number of your local animal control officer.
This Week’s Pets these beautiful calico girls a chance? These three beauties came in together from a feral colony of cats back in November 2013. Although much progress has been made with their socialization here at the shelter, they are still quite unsure of humans and may socialize better out of the shelter in a home environment. They can be adopted all together or separately. A patient, experienced cat owner is strongly recommended for these girls. Jada She may be a child of the snow, but this one-year-old Husky mix is as warm as her thick, plush coat. With her alert expression and perfectly sculpted features, Jada’s unique beauty is more than skin deep. She is highly intelligent, a very fast learner who knows some of her basic commands, and is eager to learn more. She is also outgoing and playful, extremely enthusiastic and endearingly sociable with all people and some dogs. Adoring and adorable, she has good off-leash recall and a high level of energy. When excited, she can become quite jumpy and mouthy, and she has been working daily and diligently to correct this behaviour. Joyous Jada will do best in an active household with no small children, where a regular regime of exercise and stimulating activities will keep her
OPP highlights dangers of romance fraud News – Fraud committed through romance and dating scams continue to rise according to members of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) AntiRackets Branch. The criminals seek their potential victims online, generally single or recently unattached people. Usually this occurs through singles and datingrelated ‘meet’ websites, social media platforms, or e-mail blasts. In some cases, prolonged interaction with individuals has cost some victims tens of thousands of dollars before the ‘relationship’ ends, usually without ever meeting in person. According to the Canadian Anti-
Fraud Centre, in 2013 there were 1,728 complaints from Canada of romance fraud – a year-over-year increase of nearly 300. Of those complaints, 1,149 victims – often female – were identified and their combined financial losses exceeded $15.6 million – more than any other identified financial loss due to fraud. If you suspect you or someone you know has been a victim of romance fraud, or if you have already sent funds, don’t be embarrassed – you’re not alone. Contact your local police service or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS). Submitted by the OPP.

Mississippi Mudds’ Fox on the Fairway opens this week to many, is played by our favourite diva Michele Eno. Richard “Dickie” Bell, sleazy director of Quail Valley Golf Club and ex-husband of Pamela, is played with aplomb by Chris Jones. Brian McManus, director, and Cait Morton, assistant director, have been so supportive developing these characters to bring them to life on stage. Mudds brochures were printed before stage dates were changed for this show, so if you had planned to see this play or know of anyone who wanted to see it in May, don’t forget to reschedule! We are performing this weekend and the first weekend of April. Don’t be disappointed. Dates are March 28, 29 and April 4 and 5 at 8 p.m. and March 30 at 2 p.m. Tickets, $20, available at the Carleton Place Chamber of Commerce (132 Coleman St.), or at the door. 613-257-1976.

Arts – The Mississippi Mudds’ Fox on the Fairway will be on the stage at the Carleton Place Town Hall starting this week. How did it come up so quickly? Henry Bingham is tearing his hair out trying to win the tournament for his club Crouching Squirrel. Pamela is not helping to keep his mind on the game. Dickie just knows that Quail Valley is going to win the trophy again. Justin is besotted with Louise and definitely cannot keep his mind on the game and Muriel, well Muriel, she is a force to be reckoned with…she has a different game in mind. Come out and meet the Mudds madcap cast of characters in this farce. Romance, intrigue, double-cross…we have it all. Speaking of cast, let me introduce them to you. Perennial favourite Robert Horne plays Henry Bingham, Director of Crouching Squirrel Golf and Country Club. Muriel Bingham, Henry’s longsuffering wife – new to the farce stage – is admirably played by Sylvia Giles-Jones. Ever-popular Andrew McDougall plays Justin Hicks, our slaphappy new employee at Crouching Squirrel. Louise Heindbedder, Justin’s love interest, and just a little bit ditsy – another favourite of our farces, is played by Patti Lockhart. Pamela Peabody, cougar du jour, and love interest

Above, Louise (played by Patti Lockhart) is not quite sure what Justin (played by Andrew McDougall) is trying to show her when he tries to explain a golf swing to her in this scene from the Mississippi Mudds upcoming production of Fox on the Fairway at the Carleton Place Town Hall. Right, Henry (played by Robert Horne) and Pamela (played by Michele Eno) enjoy a toast of the bubbly during the tournament between Crouching Squirrel Golf and Country Club and Quail Valley Golf Club.
Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society launches 2014 season Community – Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society is launching its 2014 season with a meet and greet on Wednesday, April 2, at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall. Tawse Winery of Niagara, voted Canadian Winery of the Year an unprecedented three years running (2010 to 2012), will present for tasting some wines akin to their awardwinning 2010 Carly’s Block Reisling, Estate Chardonnay, Laundry Vineyard Cabernet Franc and Meritage. The wine tastings will be accompanied by a selection of local artisan cheeses. Bushgarden Farmstead Cheese on Bush Road, just south of Elgin, will provide some of their fine cow’s milk cheeses. If your pleasure is sheep’s milk cheese, Milkhouse Farm and Dairy, on Matheson Drive north of Smiths Falls, will be happy to share their experience and tastes of their cheeses. The evening’s educational portion is all about biodynamics – the science of life-forces that recognizes the basic principles at work in nature and applies them to agricultural practices to bring about balance. A biodynamic vineyard produces what it needs and purges what it doesn’t need, without using anything sourced externally. Biodynamics applied to the growing of grapes is the latest big trend in the best vineyards all over Europe. Tawse Winery will share some of their secrets for growing grapes using biodynamic principles. This event is for members only, and a guest. Not a member? Not to worry. Memberships may be purchased at the event. A membership is $15 for the year and entitles you to six more evenings of enlightenment and camaraderie on all things horticultural. You might be pleasantly surprised what that gets you into! Guest speakers this season will discuss topics ranging from trees that will
save the world to those dam builders, beavers, with garlic, ticks, and trends in vegetable growing and Christmas decorating thrown in in good measure. A day trip to Rideau Woodland Ramble in Merrickville-Wolford is planned for the July 2 meeting. You can pick up a bookmark listing this year’s program of events at your local branch of the Rideau Lakes Public Library. Refreshments are provided by members at each meeting, which is always held the first Wednesday of the month and generally at the same time and location. Proceeds from membership go toward the society’s many community projects. Last year, the society installed a pollinator garden at the corner of Highway 15 and Chaffeys Lock Road, and supported the Community of Gardens initiative led by Country Roads
Community Health Centre. Every year, a student from Rideau High School receives a bursary for post-secondary studies related to horticulture. This year, the society will coach students on starting seedlings, plant another pollinator garden, and undertake a planting of edible trees and shrubs that will be open to the public to share in the produce. You don’t have to be an avid gardener to enjoy the society. Even if you don’t garden at all, it’s a great place to learn and get involved in making our communities more beautiful and sustainable. So, come grow with us! For more information, visit www. gardenontario.org/site.php/rideaulakes. Yvonne Helwig is a member of the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society and editor of their publication, The Lilypad.
One in 10 Canadians has kidney disease Lifestyle – The facts are startling. One in 10 Canadians has kidney disease, which is one of the top 10 causes of death in Canada. Most Canadians don’t know the vital role that kidneys play and that they can lose up to 80 per cent of their kidney function – without even being aware of it. Throughout March, which is Kidney Health Month, Canadians are encouraged to learn more about their kidney health and potential risk. The Kidney Foundation of Canada has made this a bit easier through the development of a simple online assessment tool to better understand your risk of developing kidney disease. Early detection is key to delaying the progression of this disease. Visit www.kidney.ca/risk to understand your personal risk factors. If the assessment shows that you are at risk, talk to your health care provider and find out if you should be tested.
A recent survey by the Kidney Foundation of Canada shows that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians are unaware that the two most common and preventable causes of end-stage kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure – illnesses that are often preventable. Research shows that people from Asian, South Asian, Aboriginal or African-Caribbean communities experience a higher incidence of diabetes and high blood pressure, the two leading causes of kidney disease. Other factors that can put you at risk include having a family member with kidney disease, being 50 years or older and carrying excess weight. You and your loved ones can take action by learning more about your kidney health. Knowing your blood pressure and blood sugar numbers and keeping them under control can help prevent kidney disease.

As home heating bills continue to skyrocket, REAL recommends actions If you use electricity, and everyone does, the qualifications are basically the same, but contact GreenSaver at 855591-0877 or search for Home Assistance Program, GreenSaver, or Home Assistance Program, Hydro One online for the details. Don’t get bogged down by the process. Both will require that you send documents to prove your eligibility. But, the audits and all the actions are free to you. You could end up with new appliances, and more insulation in your attic and basement, all for free. It costs less for utilities to invest in making your home more energy efficient than it does for them to build new power plants or bring in more (expensive) natural gas. For those who can’t take advantage of these programs, or who want more detailed knowledge about their own particular houses and environmental footprints, REAL continues to provide an extensive range of thorough home
energy audit services. REAL’s certified energy advisor, Alan Leonard, is a home performance expert with 30 years experience in construction and building science, and eight years experience in audits. He is very conscientious and dedicated to giving you impartial advice. We all know we need more insulation and that we should seal up cracks. But, an energy audit of your own house provides you with the specific information you need for that house, and, critically, helps you decide where you will get the greatest payback for your investment. The written report recommends the measures that help you to most effectively save on your energy bills. If you have home energy problems such as ice damming, condensation on windows, dry air, cold or drafty rooms or summer overheating, the energy advisor can diagnose the problem and
suggest the best solution. The advisor performs a thorough basement to attic evaluation of your home, including insulation, windows, doors, HVAC and water heating. An air leakage test is done with a blower door to determine how drafty your house is, where the leaks are, and the best air sealing method. All this information is gathered to create a computer model that simulates the performance of your home and helps guide your advisor in making recommendations. Depending on your needs, REAL’s advisor is also able to use thermography to assess your house problems. The Canadian Electricity Association will provide you with a customized written energy efficiency evaluation report that rates the current efficiency of your house, gives specific improvement recommendations and calculates the energy savings that you can expect from your upgrades.

News – With electricity and propane costs already skyward bound, and natural gas soon to follow, it’s making more sense to invest in making your house more energy efficient. There are two programs that can help if you’re low income. But the income level is so high that roughly half of Lanark County would qualify. For example, to qualify, a two-person household, whether renting or owning, must have a combined income of about $39,000 or less, or receive one of a range of supports including the GIS (Guaranteed Income Supplement) or ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program). Check these programs to see if you qualify. If you heat with natural gas, contact Envirocentre in Ottawa toll free at 1-877-580-2582 or find details about the program at their website at http:// envirocentre.ca/services/weatherization-program/.

New attractions planned for this year’s Valley Fishing and Outdoor show Lifestyle – Outdoor sports enthusiasts will be taking aim on the Carp Fairgrounds April 4-6 for the 14th annual Valley Fishing and Outdoor Show. Organizer Dave Arbour of Carleton Place, says the event will have something for everyone, including some new wrinkles this year. “The show is well-established but this year has a lot of new vendors that will add a new flavour to it,� he said. In addition to a massive gun show that will be featured in the arena and the hall, the show will have a wide range of hunting and fishing equipment for sale, including archery. “This year we are featuring new lures that have never been seen in this area, and are not available in stores,� said Arbour. “Seafour lures are the
newest.� And for anglers who want to extend their techniques, the show will feature fly fishing demonstrations. “The Fly Fishers of Ottawa will do a demo and teach people how to fly fish,� he said. People from all over the region attend the show, along with outdoors activists from Quebec, Cornwall, Peterborough, Belleville, Cornwall, Barry’s Bay, and up to Algonquin Park. On Saturday, a highlight will be the duck and goose calling competition. “Three judges are hidden and people will go through a series of different calls and will be judged accordingly,� explained Arbour. “Prizes will be given for top callers.� There will also be a turkey calling competition Arbour and his wife will be testing people for their wild turkey hunting
licence. To be eligible to take the test, applicants first have to first purchase the Ontario Wild Turkey Hunter Education Course on DVD. It is available from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters at www.ofah-cps. com/turkey/DVD.cfm. Seminars will be held on turkey hunting, trailering and calling ducks and geese. “We have got it all covered. Hunting apparel, tackle guns. There will even be boats and ATVs,� said Arbour. Another popular attraction is the big buck, moose and bear skulls contest. “People bring in mounted heads and they are scored by a measurement between antlers. They will win prizes. We also have hidden prizes,� Arbour noted. Bear skulls are usually
not mounted. Kids’ activities include a casting pond and fishing pond. They can win prizes such as lures and fishing rods. Children can also try out bows in the archery area. There will be a full line of archery equipment from local stores. Even a kangaroo On Sunday, the big attraction will be Jungle Cat World. This will be all different animals from previous years. It is an educational event, featured at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. “These are critters that you won’t see around here. They even have a kangaroo,� said Arbour. The expanded vendor area will have something for every outdoor interest. You can even book a hunting or fishing trip with outfitters. And participants can win the right to spend a

and deliver it in sufficient amounts on demand. While a lot of technology under the hood of a vehicle has changed over the years, batteries are still pretty much the same as when they were first designed, save for some changes in outer case materials. The cells still have a considerable amount of lead and a very corrosive acid is the medium liquid. I wouldn’t have replaced either the original or the second battery simply for ‘weak cranking’. The test results supplied for the second Mazda battery was well above an acceptable level at over 10 volts. The CTC replacement was rated at 650 cold crank amps (the amount of power the battery should deliver in its operating temperature range) and thus is more powerful than the original batteries, hence a better test result. Mazda, like most automakers, don’t manufacture their own batteries, but instead purchase them from an outside supplier and then re-label them with their own logos. I’ve never heard of a commonplace problem with their batteries. After a vehicle reaches three years of age its battery should be tested at a minimum on an annual basis and if possible twice a year (early summer and early winter). While inexpensive load testers can provide some information on a battery’s condition, a fully electronic and computerized charge/test station should be used. This equipment will ensure the battery is at a full state of charge before the load test is applied and will limit the load to the battery’s capacity resulting in a very accurate answer. And to the surprise of many drivers, just as many batteries fail in the heat of summer as do in the cold of winter.

Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, I find your articles about the car maintenance and repair industry to be very helpful and now I have a problem to ask you about. My 2010 Mazda 5 with 80,000km (bought new in December 2009) is already on its third battery. The first one was changed by the dealer under warranty at 48,000 km in January 2012, after only two years, because the cranking capacity at -18ÂşC was noticeably weak and I lacked confidence that it would start the engine when overnight temperatures went into the -20s. Now two years later (actually December 2013), the same thing happened again: weak at -18 and no confidence that it would start in the -20s. I bought a battery load tester and the battery tested at the very bottom of the green zone (approximately 10.5 volts). Note that the Mazda battery is rated at 570 cold-crank amps. The dealer said that 9.4 volts under load was within ‘specs’ but I knew this would not start the engine when Ottawa’s cold temperatures returned. Now that the car was off warranty, I had to buy a battery. I purchased it at Canadian Tire (CTC) and ran my tests on it. (It responded better at 11.8 volts under load). I sometimes take friends to a remote cabin (where I cannot connect the block heater) and I don’t want to risk a no-start with a known-to-be weak battery. My question for you is why is the battery’s capacity getting low after only two years with my car when my friends’ car batteries are easily lasting six years (as did the batteries on all of my previous cars)? I don’t do short trips and I don’t have add-on electrical accessories. The parasitic draw test results (the amount of electricity the clock, radio and computer memory systems use when the car is turned off) are within spec. I’ve contacted Mazda Canada’s Customer Relations but they have not been helpful.â€? FB I asked this reader for some more information and they confirmed the vehicle is usually parked in an unheated garage overnight and the block heater is used on cold nights. Basically a battery has to do two things: store electrical power

Lifestyle – Eric Jensen writes from Simcoe, Ont.: “Hi Bill: My most enjoyable car has been my 1968 Cadillac Sedan de Ville 4-door hardtop. It had always been my ambition to own a classic car. At last it came to pass through a wandering story. “An older couple had originally purchased this car in 1968. Sadly, they each died shortly after their trip to their Florida home. Apparently, the car was put in storage for a period of time, after which a young couple purchased the car. Later, the wife decided she preferred a different model for her own use. The husband put it up for sale and I purchased this dream in one day. “The car came with all the original documents, all the original sales advertisements, some family photos, and some Florida sand on the front carpet. This car has a 472 cubic inch engine (375 horsepower) which easily floats the car safely down the roadways. After 45 years, we have only 67,000 miles on the odometer, and the car has no problems or concerns. My youngest son is 46 years old and still being single drives it on every opportunity to any location. “During the summer and fall,

OPP wrap up distracted driving campaign News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has concluded its recent Distracted Driving campaign and is reminding drivers that as of March 18, new legislation kicks in that will have officers issuing much heftier fines to those caught using a hand held device or watching an entertainment device while driving. During the March 8 to 14 campaign, officers throughout the province were busy raising awareness among motorists that using a hand-held device and engaging in other forms of distraction while driving is a dangerous behaviour that, for three years in a row (from 20112013) has taken the lives of more innocent people than impaired driving (on OPP
patrolled roads). A total of 11 people have died so far this year (2014) in distracted driving related collisions on OPP patrolled roads and, according to some of the OPP’s Facebook followers, the public recognizes how serious a threat this driving behaviour poses to road users. “I see many people driving and using their cell phones and not paying attention (to) traffic. They should be kept off of roads,” said one follower. The OPP is reminding drivers that effective March 18, distracted driving fines increase from $155 to $280 (this includes the $225 fine plus a $50 victim fine surcharge and $5 court cost). Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

UCDSB students compete in trades in Cornwall News – Students from across the Upper Canada District School Board tested their mettle in the trades Feb. 26 at the Skills Canada Regional Competition at St. Lawrence College. About 170 students from the board participated in several trades events from small engine repair to TV video production, with the winners earning a chance to move on to the provincial competition this May in Kitchener. Competitions at the event included: aesthetics, auto service technology, cabinet making, hairstyling, photography, small engines, journalism, photography, two-person carpentry, culinary, and welding. Winners included: Mitchell Ferguson, gold, culinary, Gananoque Secondary School; Megan Moreau, gold, job interview, Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute; Abigail Graves, gold, prepared speech, Russell High School; Rebecca Anderson, gold, hairstyling, Cornwall Collegiate and Vocational School; Tiffany Roskell and Ashley Smith, bronze, two-person carpentry, Seaway District High School; Cody Edgley, silver, cabinet making, Athens District High School; Cole Tessier, gold, auto service technology, Glengarry District High School; and Will Freeland, silver, auto service technology, Tagwi Secondary School. Alex MacDougall, the board’s Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program facilitator, said the competition offered several benefits for participants. “We’re introducing secondary students to the trades through these competitions,”
said MacDougall. “We also feel it’s a good team-building exercise for these students as a lot of these competitions are done with partners. “It also gives students an opportunity to meet kids from other schools.” It’s important to expose students to the trades because there will be a growing number of jobs available in future as current tradespeople retire, he said. Four out of ten new jobs over the next twenty years will be in the trades. By the year 2020, Canada will be short one million tradespeople. In Ontario alone, 26 per cent of skilled workers will be retiring over the next 10 years. Students said the competition provides a good snapshot of life in the trades, allowing them to decide if a trade is right for their future. Connor Findlay, a 16-yearold student at North Dundas District High School, competed in the auto service technician event. Findlay said his event provided a wide variety of experiences in the trade from using diagnostic computers to analyze electrical problems to identifying issues with the brakes on a pickup truck. Seaway District High School students Roskell and Smith returned to compete in two-person carpentry for the third year in a row, taking the bronze medal. “It’s hands-on and it’s fun,” Roskell said. “It’s also nice to have a partner to talk to and it works really well... We’ve learned how to do things faster and better (over the three years).” Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

CP Chamber to continue focus on social media, business support in 2014 By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca
Business – The Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce highlighted a busy 2013 and set a new board of directors March 20 during its annual general meeting (AGM) held at Lake Park Lodge. Chamber president Donna MacDonald also handed out the President’s Award, which this year went to Chamber office manager Jackie Kavanagh. The award was established a few years ago as an opportunity for the Chamber president to honour someone who stood out in terms of dedication and support. “This year, there’s really so much to say about this person,” MacDonald remarked. “We are all volunteers but the executive has a little bit more work to do than the average board member and there are times that you are busy and life gets busy and you have to have someone to download to. This person kept coming to mind when I was thinking about the award. She has her own young children, husband and all of these challenges too but she always manages to pick up the slack.” Kavanagh was given an Inukshuk sculpture as her award. Guests dined on hors d’oeuvres provided by Lake Park Lodge staff and networked before the meeting got underway. MacDonald noted it was the organization’s 98th AGM. “We turned 98 years young on Jan. 16 of this year and what better place than Lake Park 1887 Lodge to celebrate this?” she remarked. “It survived two separate prohibitions by making their own moonshine...and was the perfect spot for stars – hockey players, politicians and gangsters...” MacDonald said that the

The Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce held its annual general meeting at Lake Park Lodge on March 20. A new executive and board were ushered in during the event, and, left, Chamber president Donna MacDonald, right, also presented the President’s Award, which went to Chamber office manager Jackie Kavanagh. Above, MacDonald provides the highlights of the past year and focuses for the coming year at the meeting.
Chamber exists to act as a voice for business in Carleton Place and the area as well as “enabling business success.” She indicated that 2013 was a successful one for the organization, focusing on five primary categories: facilitating contact, advocating, informing, celebrating and becoming known as an essential resource. “It’s been my pleasure to work with the highly dedicated and skilled staff at the Chamber office and around the board table,” MacDonald said. She said there has been “exceptional energy” at the Chamber’s monthly Business at Breakfast and Movers and Shak-
Team
ers networking events, which have grown in popularity. “Attendance (for Business at Breakfasts) has been consistently on increase and has increased by 50 per cent year over year since 2011,” she stated. Earlier this month, the Chamber partnered with the Mississippi Mills Chamber of Commerce on their first combined Business at Breakfast at Fulton’s Pancake House and Sugar Bush. “We had over 75 participants and it was amazing,” MacDonald said, adding that similar events are being planned for the future. “Great venues and great speakers have helped to contrib-
ute to a great deal of the success of those events.” Movers and Shakers is a second monthly event added to give business owners a chance to showcase what they do and 2013 also saw the Chamber host another successful golf tournament and most recently, on Feb. 15, the annual Comedy Nite, which MacDonald said had a “terrific lineup of fantastic comedians.” Arguably the biggest event last year for the Chamber was its inaugural Business Awards of Excellence Gala Oct. 19. Awards had previously been handed out to businesses during
the AGM, but the Chamber created a second event to honour them. Catered by Dennis Burn and his team from the Leatherworks, MacDonald gave him a token of appreciation during the AGM as he had donated his time, staff and the meal for 116 people for the event. “It was an unforgettable inaugural business awards gala and was sold out,” MacDonald said. “It was so much fun on a spectacular night where we recognized the best of the best of our businesses.” “We’ll be rolling out a new process to establishing the winners this year and our office staff will be involving all (Chamber) members,” she stated. She also took time to highlight the recently completed strategic plan. Calling it a map
and measuring stick for the Chamber, the plan, entitled ‘Staying the Course,’ sets out guiding principles for the organization in six key areas: economic development, tourism, political advocacy, community, member engagement and revenue growth. Social media Attending a recent workshop featuring Pierre Cleroux, vicepresident and chief economist of the Business Development Bank of Canada, MacDonald said the Chamber will continue to focus on increasing its profile through social media in 2014. “Social media is the theme this year,” she remarked.

Police charge Carleton Place man for child luring News – On March 25, the Ottawa Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) arrested a Carleton Place man following a child luring investigation. The man contacted a police officer posing as a young teenage girl on a social media site. On March 23, the man made arrangements to meet with the young girl for a sexual encounter. Police officers arrested the man, at the pre-determined location.
STUDY From front page
District is enabled by the Ontario Heritage Act, and allows a town to formally recognize and protect an area of heritage-oriented significance. “As much as it is about preserving the heritage though,” she said, “it is not about prohibiting or discouraging growth or change.” Instead, McArthur explained, it is about regulating the types of development or renovations that would be allowed in the area. Generally, HCDs designate guidelines that keep new development along a complementary theme to the existing heritage sites. It allows heritage to become one of the principal design tools and keeps the HCD area feeling the way the community has decided it should. In order to do this, special heritage permits would be needed to develop or renovate within the HCD area, whether the project is a new building or simply exterior changes to a new one. “I want to be clear that the HCD applies to the exterior of the building only in most cases,” McArthur said, further explaining that property owners would still be free to make changes to the interior of their buildings. “Actually, it applies mainly to the exterior that is in public sight, usually the front of the property.” From there, McArthur outlined the benefits of creating an HCD.
The 36-year-old from Carleton Place is charged with two counts of computer contact with a person under 16 years of age and two counts of computer contact with a person under 18 years of age for a sexual purpose. He appeared in court on March 25 for a bail hearing. Any persons having any information in regards to this investigation are asked to contact the Ottawa Police Service ICE Unit at 613-236-1222, ext. 5660 or
Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS) or toll free at 1-800-2228477. The Ottawa Police Service is a member of the provincial strategy to protect children from Sexual Abuse and Exploitation on the Internet. This project has been made possible by a grant from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Submitted by the Ottawa Police Service.
“Almonte has done well in managing its historic buildings so far,” she said, “and designating (an HCD) can help to continue that preservation going forward.” She explained that the HCD would become a planning tool for the area, bringing heritage to the forefront of the community’s priorities in an effort to maintain the current feel of the town. “It allows for the area of significance to be managed as a whole,” she said. “It becomes a cohesive chunk of history and can become a stronger asset by providing guidelines to avoid the creation of things out of character with the area.” She also pointed out that designating an HCD could be an opportunity to not only celebrate but also promote the area’s heritage as a tourism attraction. Though there are 113 HCDs in Ontario already, there are very few that incorporate industrial buildings, McArthur said. Therefore, Almonte could become a unique attraction in preserving its industrial past as a mill town. There are two HCDs nearby: Arnprior’s, which was designated in 2007, and Perth’s, which was designated in 2012. Both of those HCDs are thriving since their creation, McArthur said, but there are some HCDs that aren’t operating up to their potential. Ottawa’s Bank Street, which is a small HCD at only 2.5 street blocks, has been struggling. McArthur said that this is because of the surrounding zoning, which allows for towering buildings that
take away from the small heritage buildings being protected. However, she said, a recent study out of the University of Waterloo looked at 32 established HCDs that were created before 2003 (in order to study longstanding districts that had had a chance to effect some change) and found that in general, they are all performing well and continuing to improve the community. If the study is to go forward, said McArthur, it would be conducted in two phases: the study itself, and then creating the guidelines and principals that will govern the area from then on. The study portion of the process will involve an inventory of significant features; determining a thematic history of the area; defining the boundaries of the HCD; confirming findings through public consultation and finally, defining the objectives of the community. The second half of the information session was an opportunity for the participants to voice their opinions and ask questions of the consultants with Watson MacEwen Teramura. Everyone who attended the information session was also asked to fill out a short survey as part of the process to determine public support for the study. The public survey will also be available online, at www.mississippimills.ca, until Friday, April 4. Anyone interested is encouraged to submit their opinion, at the study will only go forward if the town see sufficient support from the community.

Town to investigate CivicWeb Portal program to improve accessibility, transparency tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – A government’s ability to deliver information to its residents is vital. Carleton Place council has asked town staff to investigate the cost and implication of utilizing the CivicWeb Portal program to organize all municipal agendas, minutes, bylaws, reports, etc. The request was carried by way of a motion last Tuesday, March 18, during the community issues committee meeting. Other area municipalities utilizing the CivicWeb Portal program include Beckwith, Montague and Perth. Carleton Place resident Mark Smith wants the town to strive to improve information transparency. “There are numerous meetings held by council that are not advertised in
any public forum,� he said, “and I am also concerned that all associated paperwork is not always available to the public prior to meetings.� Smith said the public should be able to peruse information in advance so as to formulate comments. “At the very least documentation should be available online when the (meeting) agenda is published,� he continued. “Numerous times references have been made to items that were not available – and even while they were being discussed in council chambers.� During a well-attended, important meeting on Jan. 7 (2014) regarding the proposed Lanark Animal Pound, mayor Wendy LeBlanc presented a two-page motion for discussion; however, the document was not made available to the public. It was only after the 50-plus attendees
voiced their complaints that photocopies were distributed. Last December during a meeting to discuss Volunder Thorbjornsson’s development project at 130 Industrial Ave. and his concerns regarding the development process in Carleton Place, public works development coordinator Wayne Fraser, a key player in the matter, was on holidays. “Mr. Fraser was not in attendance, even though he was the town’s appointed contact and negotiator,� Smith said. “There were questions regarding the agreement and discussion.� After citing additional instances, Smith said: “To have open and transparent government all material must be available for the public’s perusal, not just selected items. This should also include any
and all associated persons involved in case there are questions.� “Mark, I appreciate you bringing this to our attention,� LeBlanc said. The mayor noted an email she received from local resident Jim Collins suggesting council and town staff review the CivicWeb Portal program’s website. “A 15-minute video shows the ease of the program,� Collins said. Coun. Jerry Flynn reviewed the video and felt it was “a good system.� Linked to the town’s website, the CivicWeb Portal program would bring information to the public automatically as staff works throughout the day. “I’d like to talk to someone who uses it, rather than rely on a video and someone trying to make a sale,� chief administrative officer
Paul Knowles said. He brought up Perth’s website on his laptop to give council a look at the program, to show how it is portrayed. “This would be a great tool for staff,� he said, “but they know what they are looking for.� “I don’t think the average member of the public would have as good an understanding of what to look for,� Knowles continued. “I’d like to hear what the public has to say,� Coun. Louis Antonakos said. “This item has come from the public.� “If the public can’t find it they think you’re hiding something,� Collins said. “Why not put it out there. I think the system covers a lot of your needs.� “One real drawback that we believe to be true is that all documentation is not created in Microsoft Word,� Knowles said. “It’s
created in this proprietary software.� To create an agenda, he said staff would either need to be trained on how to generate the document in the CivicWeb Portal program or there would be an added step in the process – conversion.
“I don’t know how hard it is,� Knowles said, “and I don’t know what the associated costs are.� Coun. Rob Probert agreed with the staff recommendation; however, he was concerned about the workload this might create.

Seventh annual community fitness challenge to benefit CPDMH Foundation April 9 By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca
Community – Join in the spirit of competition and healthy living Wednesday, April 9 when Heritage Community Fitness & Rehabilitation Centre hosts the seventh annual GET ACTIVE Community Fitness Challenge in Carleton Place. The popular event will once again raise funds for the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation and involves teams of five people (or the more the merrier) spending 10 minutes on a treadmill, stationary bike or elliptical trainer. Their times are
recorded and added together to declare the winning teams. According to Robyn Arseneau, CPDMH Foundation’s manager of fundraising, the challenge “raises community awareness for fitness and the importance of being active.� It’s easy to get involved and teams aren’t required to participate at the same time. Heritage Community Fitness, located at 2 Costello Drive, will be running the challenge from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., so team members can pop in throughout the day to log their times. A minimum of $50 in pledges is being asked of each partici-
pant or $250 per team. Arseneau pointed out that individuals can also sign up and will be placed with a team. “I also encourage individuals who are participating to invite their family and friends to come out and cheer them on and get into the spirit,� she said. As an extra incentive, Arseneau said that this year special prizes have been added, donated by community partners, for rival teams, to increase the fun and competitive nature of the event. “We’ve had lots of requests as teams want to challenge each other as well as themselves, so we’ve added prizes such as most
spirited team, best workout costume, furthest distance, etc.� she said. Each participant will also receive a thank you gift. Last year, more than $10,000 was raised for the hospital foundation’s equipment fund and Arseneau said it remains one of their biggest fundraisers. “It is a significant fundraiser and over time, each year, it makes so much more of a difference. Not just for the individuals (participating) but for the hospital and health care. It’s about healthy communities and healthy living and having fun,� she noted. The CPDMH Foundation is hoping to raise even more with
this year’s event as they are short on meeting their equipment needs for 2014. Arseneau said they currently have $230,000 of $341,000 required. “Later on this year, we will be making announcements for equipment priorities for the coming year and our needs for the next five years. Most of that will be replacement equipment,� she said. Arseneau applauded the efforts of Heritage Community Fitness and said they continue to be a valuable partner to the CPDMH Foundation. “They started this (fitness challenge). They spearhead it, host the event and they

Public input heard by town on proposed White Lake Campground expansion Box also spoke of air and noise pollution concerns as well as over fishing in the lake. Other locals spoke up to express their concerns for the health of the fish populations in the lake, lake pollution and the proposal that the site will take water from the lake (up to 50,000 litres per day.) Mooder took note of all of the concerns voiced at the meeting and answered any questions he could. He and the town will take the public’s concerns into consideration going forward.
Next, the town’s Committee of the Whole members had a chance to speak as well. Coun. Shaun McLaughlin said he was concerned about the cumulative impact of multiple developments around the lake, which Mooder noted. “I sympathize with the people who live on the roads near this site,� said Coun. Val Wilkinson, “and I wonder whether it is possible that the roads could become hard-top roads in the future to make for better conditions.� Troy Dunlop, the town’s
director of roads and public works, who was also present for the meeting, responded, saying that regular maintenance would probably be enough to deal with the wear and tear on the road but that if it were to become an issue, a hard top road is something that could be considered. The meeting wrapped up after councillors had all had a chance to speak. It could take up to three to four months before the amendments are approved.

News – Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier has announced he will be among the speakers at the local protests against ever-rising electricity rates. Grassroots protests against unaffordable electricity rates are being held at cities and towns across the province on April 4. “Years of poor energy policies like the Green Energy Act have cost this province jobs, and forced people into the difficult situation of deciding whether to pay the mortgage or heat the house,” remarked Hillier.

News – In what continues to be a controversial and slow-moving topic in Mississippi Mills, the town council discussed at length again another item regarding rural lot creation policies and the Community Official Plan (COP) at their regular meeting on March 18. After the town held a special Committee of the Whole meeting to discuss the COP and its policies surrounding land severances and rural lot creation options on March 6, a recommendation was brought to the regular March 18 council meeting to host public meetings on the subject and also to provide a fiscal impact study during them. Currently, the town is working on a review of the COP, specifically rural lot creation policies regarding severances, estate lots and cluster

Financial report After the membership voted to approve revisions to a few of the Chamber’s bylaws, treasurer Dawn Lanouette took those in attendance through the organization’s financial statements for the year. The total income from March 2013 through February 2014 sits at $142,849,
lots. There is some support around the council table for the prohibition of both estate lots and cluster lots, while there is also support to allow them with or without restrictions. At a previous Committee of the Whole meeting, town planner Steve Stirling presented a report that recommended that no changes be made to the current COP other than to remove cluster lots as an option for creating rural lots, which was defeated by the committee members. Following that, at the special Committee of the Whole meeting on March 6, town council members discussed the options at length. In the end, they made a recommendation that council direct the planner to schedule public meetings as soon as possible regarding severances, estate lots and cluster lots, and also that a fiscal impact study of the various options be provided
at those meetings. The recommendation was on the consent agenda at the regular council meeting on March 18, but it was pulled by Coun. Duncan Abbott for discussion before being passed. He moved two amendments to the original recommendation. The first was to remove estate lots and cluster lots from the topics to be discussed at the public meetings. “I think we should be dealing with severances only right now,� he said, explaining that he felt that discussing all three options at the same meetings could cause confusion. After voting from council, that amendment was defeated and the original recommendation remained unchanged. “We’ve told the public one thing and we can’t go changing it now,� said Coun. John Edwards. “We have to leave all three options on
the table for discussion.� The second amendment that Abbott moved was to remove the fiscal impact study portion of the recommendation altogether. “I would support that,� said Coun. Denzil Ferguson. “I think we should see the public’s input first, then decide afterwards if the study is even needed.� However, Coun. Shaun McLaughlin pointed out that the fiscal impact study was meant to be provided at the public meetings in order to inform the local residents. After a recorded vote, the amendment was carried 6 to 4 and the fiscal impact study was removed from the original recommendation.
much higher than 2013’s figure of $111,266. Lanouette credits that to funds from the first awards gala ($3,497), and a spike in revenue from the golf tournament ($13,479 over $6,939 in 2013). Membership income was $30,097 compared to $27,285 the previous year. “We had a great year. There was lots of support from members,â€? she commented, noting that the number of meetings and networking events increased as well, bringing in $5,675 over $4,002 in 2013. â€œâ€Ś The awards gala was something we had no plans for, we didn’t know how much it would generate but it blew us away‌â€? However, retail sales in the visitor centre were down significantly. Last year saw just $3,643 brought in, compared to $6,022 the previous year. Lanouette said the Chamber’s partnership with Arts Carleton Place, who had supplied items to the centre, had been severed.
â€œâ€ŚWe’re working hard to get new inventory in, so there’s a bit of a lull there,â€? she said. “We will focus attention on that to bring to light some of our local artists.â€? The Chamber’s expenses, which included advertising (moderately increased over 2013), meeting and networking events, bank charges, insurance, website development and maintenance, property and office costs, totaled $138,493, an increase over 2013’s number of $111,327. Overall, the Chamber had a net income of $4,356 and as of Feb. 28, currently have $88,296 in assets. New board Carleton Place council representative on the Chamber board, Jerry Flynn, then held elections for the new executive and board. No new nominations came in, so the new executive stands at: president Donna MacDonald (Mortgage Brokers Ottawa); vice-pres-
ident Sylvia Giles (The Massage Therapy Clinic); treasurer Christa Bingley (Nephin, Winter, Bingley) and past president Tracy Lamb (Mopani Communications). The directors will be: Angela Beazley (Rental Village); Lori Cavanagh (Cavanagh Construction); Matthew Ferguson (Text 2 Systems); Richard Kidd (Township of Beckwith); Patti Saulnier (Accountapotamus Inc.); Clay Spero (TD Canada Trust); Jack Taylor (Bridge CafÊ & Bistro); Lynn Vardy (Royal LePage) and Flynn as the council representative. There will be a few changes as Lanouette resigned as treasurer and Shawn Pulikunnel (RBC Royal Bank) won’t be returning to the board. Neither will BIA representative Dennis Burn after the BIA opted to cease having a representative on the Chamber board. They were thanked for their involvement with tokens of appreciation by MacDonald.

Non to Nadon
E
ditorial – Judge Marc Nadon is not wanted on the voyage. The Supreme Court of Canada last week ruled 6 to 1 against the appointment of Nadon as Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest choice for the highest court in the land. Not that they questioned his qualifications, but merely that he was not qualified to sit, under the laws of the land. This ruling appears to bring up just as many questions as it supposedly answered. Is there not something wrong with the Supreme Court of Canada ruling on changes to, well, the Supreme Court of Canada Act? Yes, it is in an unusual position in that while it is ruling on the very law which governs it as an institution, there is also no other choice – it is the highest court in the land, and the buck stops there on Wellington Street in Ottawa. Some of the jurists on the court were appointed by Harper himself, so that puts lie to cries of Harper stacking the deck in
his party’s favour. Just because Harper appointed you, does not mean that you have to tow his line (sounds like the senate, frankly). In 2004, Harper said that Canadians need not worry about electing a majority Conservative government, because deeply embedded Liberal bureaucrats and activist judges would keep him in check. Now, his own appointees to the bench are keeping him in check. We should not kid ourselves into thinking that judicial appointments are above the political fray. According to Andre Pratte, a Quebec author and editorial page editor of La Presse, in that province, when the Liberals are in power, Liberal lawyers tend to get appointed to judicial appointments. Ditto for Pequiste lawyers when the Parti Quebecois is in office in Quebec City. But, Pratte notes, while the pool of potential judges is a partisan one, there is a gentleman’s understanding that the best of the best of Liberal (or PQ) lawyers is
sent up for the job. There is something unseemly in how Nadon’s appointment was handled in that the Harper Conservatives tried to change the law – while Nadon was working his way through the system. The Prime Minister’s Office said it was “surprised” at last Friday’s ruling – so why did it try to change the law on the fly then? If he was qualified to sit, then they should have let it go forward, instead of seeking expert legal advice from two former Supreme Court judges and a legal scholar. Also, with all respect to Nadon, is this the best they could do? Is there no one else currently on the Court of Appeal or Superior Court of Quebec? It can’t all hang on the fact that Nadon issued a ruling favourable to the Harper government, in relation to the Omar Khadr case, that courts should essentially butt out on foreign policy decisions. He may be a good man, an able legal mind, but he is also semiretired and a specialist in maritime law. It’s a worthy field of law, to be sure, but not one that is exactly crying out for the
Supreme Court’s attention. The law is clearly poorly worded and open to interpretation – but now the federal government may not be able to change it on its own. To change the Supreme Court will now likely require the support of not just a majority of the provinces, but of all of the provinces. So, essentially, passing a legal version of the Meech Lake Accord. Good luck with that. This seems like the court has shackled the hands of the government – which is concerning. It is one thing to strike down a law or a section of a law. There are ways around it. But to undermine the government’s ability to initiate change in the first place is questionable. But thumbs down too on the Harper government. For such an administration, transfixed like a laser beam on staying on message and being the government of no surprises, they should have seen what a screw-up this would be and never should have put Nadon in this position in the first place.

LOCAL NEWS Lifestyle – After much searching, Sandra Dedrick of Carleton Place, finally saw a Snowy Owl on March 11, and had a grand view. George Duck sees one routinely on Cemetery Side Road, in late afternoon. In Clayton village, Mississippi Mills, Bev Relfe stopped to take pictures of two beautiful Trumpeter Swans, right by the bridge in town, March 13. Two days later, behind the high school on the Mississippi River in Carleton Place, Arnie Simpson observed six Trumpeters: Six adults and six juveniles. On March 14, in Appleton, Arnie took grand pictures of a Red-necked Grebe as it was fishing in the river. One picture accompanies the column. This Red-necked Grebe has

also been spotted by Mike and Joyce Jaques, Iain Wilkes and myself during that week. Mike also saw the Grebe in Carleton Place, as well as noting another spring arrival, a Wood Duck. Still in Carleton Place, Julia Heathcote has a pair of Northern Cardinals, and reports hearing their spring song. Outside Carleton Place, in Beckwith Township, Randy Marinelli has had an American Robin since March 11. As well, in town, Mike

Jaques is certain that the robin in his garden in a spring returnee. Mike has spotted one Canada Goose, and one Pied-billed Grebe, both back from the south. St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, produced a flock of Cedar Waxwings by the gatehouse at Mill of Kintail, seen by Stephanie. They picked off flies and other insects around the win-
dows, bathed by the sunshine. Another cardinal was singing a lullaby, heard by Audrey Buckingham, at Millfall in Almonte. Spring must be in the air. Moving to Pakenham, Ray Holland reported seeing three Canada Geese in the village. I saw three Common Goldeneyes in the river there, but the geese were gone. East of Pakenham, along County 17, 13 Wild Turkeys were busy foraging. In trees, fields, or on the road, American Crows looked for food. Best of all, on March 17, Richard King of Carleton Place, had a Red-winged Blackbird at his feeder. Please call Lynda at 613-2565013 or email bennett@magma. ca with bird reports.

Arts – Enjoy good music and support a very good cause. A benefit concert in support of the Lanark County Food Bank (LCFB) will be held on Sunday, April 6, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Carleton Place, beginning at 3 p.m. Going hungry could happen to anyone. The West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus (OWLC), LCFB and St. Mary’s Catholic Church proudly present the event. “Our choir is probably not very well known in Carleton Place, although a few of our members do live or work there, and we have performed at Waterside Retirement Community to a warm reception,” said Mary March, OWLC event co-ordinator. Robert Dueck of Stittsville is founder and music director of the community choir. Bonnie MacDiarmid serves as the group’s accompanist. In existence for about two years the OWLC is made up of 33 women who reside in the communities of Ottawa and areas west and south of it including Kanata, Stittsville, Munster, Carp, Carleton Place and Fitzroy Harbour. OWLC continues to grow and increase its profile as a community chorus by performing annual spring and Christmas concerts, guesting at concerts, providing music entertainment for luncheon and banquet functions, and bringing the joy of music to residents at area retirement homes. Men of Note, an a cappella ensemble, will be guest performers on April 6, performing

Gibb-Carsley Natalie Maude Gibb-Carsley (Nee Crawford) July 5, 1936 – March 19, 2014 Natalie’s passing leaves very saddened, John, her much loved husband of almost 54 years; her cherished children, Althea, Victoria, and John (Jennifer) and grandchildren Zander Machan, Anna and Evan Carsley-Jones and Parker Gibb-Carsley. She also leaves to mourn, her brother John Crawford (Cheryl) of Toronto, Stephen Jones, May Mikhail, sisters-in-law Helen (Nick Farrell) of Montreal, Christopher (Lynda Hire) of Hemmingford and Pamela (David Milne) of Ottawa and their families. Natalie was predeceased by her wonderful parents, Brigadier-General Dr. John Crawford and his wife, Maude (Hopper). Throughout her full life, Natalie’s upbeat nature was to spread happiness, show love and compassion, and give encouragement to and for those who had the good fortune to meet her in daily life. Her mission was to give unselfishly of herself to the comfort and joy of her family and friends even when confronted with many challenging years of failing health. Never did Natalie say, “Why me?” as she dealt with life threatening cancer for many of her last 27 years, displaying extraordinary courage, optimism and stoicism all the while. Natalie contributed greatly to her community, serving on the Perth Planning Board, the boards of the Children’s Aid Society, the Perth Daycare and, for many years, the Perth & District Union Public Library—a very favourite and frequent destination to satisfy her keen intellect and prodigious appetite for reading. Over the years Natalie involved herself with St. James Church making banners and helping with dinners, the Cancer Society, and as a founding member of the Perth University Women’s Club. Her strong organizational and creative skills were much appreciated by those with whom she worked. For over 20 years Natalie taught English and Art at Perth Collegiate and coached the public speaking team. A highly respected and beloved teacher, she had many students say to her, some many years later, what an effective and encouraging influence she had upon their lives. Natalie took great joy from being with her children and grandchildren, spending time swimming and gardening at the cottage, with her book club, the Writer’s Circle and ‘Breakfast Club’ friends, and with the “Pickwickian Pedalers’” trips in Canada, the USA and once to France. She was a skilled artist who got great joy from calligraphy, drawing, and painting. She especially enjoyed the set design work she did for community theatre productions. She was able to enjoy travels and cruises with John to Europe, the Caribbean, the Pacific and South America in recent years. Natalie’s family wishes to express thanks for the unwavering support they received from many friends during the past few months and even longer. Natalie often said how lucky she was to have such kind friends. Very much appreciated was the care of many in the medical community. You are too numerous to mention by name, but you know who you are. Thank you all. Most of those who knew this tall, gracious and lovely woman will remember best her ever present smile, so radiant and warm. A fitting epitaph could be: Never underestimate the power of a smile! Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St W Perth on Friday, March 28th, 2014 from 2:00 to 4:00 & 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Funeral service will be held in St. James Anglican Church, Perth on Saturday, March 29th, 2014 at 10:30 A.M. Interment, Elmwood Cemetery. Donations in Natalie’s memory should be directed to “The Perth & District Union Library”, The Chris Tyson Fund (Summer Camp Program) Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville or the GWM Hospital Foundation.

Muppets Most Wanted least appealing of popular franchise MOVIE: Muppets Most Wanted STARRING: Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, Ty Burrell, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Walter and the whole gang DIRECTOR: James Bobin RATING: G Arts – I love the Muppets. I love Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Fozzie and all the rest. I loved their last film. I really wanted to love Muppets Most Wanted. Unfortunately it was truly awful. As the Muppets get set to embark on a world tour with their new manager Dominic Badguy (Ricky Gervais), Constantine, the world’s most dangerous frog, escapes from a Russian gulag. Aside from a mole on his cheek, and a terrible accent Constantine is a dead ringer for Kermit. A fact he and his partner, who is of course Dominic, plan to exploit. Constantine switches places with Kermit. While Constantine infiltrates the Muppets, Kermit ends up in a Russian gulag run by the Kermit obsessed Nadya (Tina Fey). Constantine and Dominic use the Muppets as a cover to rob museums across Europe with each heist bringing
My Take MARK HASKINS
them closer to their ultimate goal of stealing the Crown Jewels. Animal is the only one to see, or perhaps smell Constantine for who he really is though no one listens. Then Walter starts to piece things together, and he and Fozzie eventually figure it out. It’s then up to Walter, Animal and Fozzie to save Kermit and get his help to stop Constantine before the unthinkable can happen. Unfortunately it’s not as unthinkable as the possibility that they might make another film. Somewhere between that last Muppet movie and this Muppet movie the Muppets have lost their heart. Like so many sequels before it Muppets Most Wanted was forced. It felt like no one had their hearts invested in this film. It lacked inspiration, and so everyone was just following the same old formula. There was
no art and no charm, and so everyone was just going through the motions because they didn’t know what else to do. There are a few laughs, a few good lines, the classic cameos, and one or two decent musical numbers. I especially enjoyed watching Danny Trejo, Jemaine Clement and Ray Liotta sing and dance together. The Muppets themselves and the talented people who give them voice Steve Whitmire, Eric Jacobson, Dave Goelz, Bill Barretta, David Rudman, Matt Vogel, and Peter Linz are still great. Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey and Ty Burrell are okay, but the problem here I think is with the script. It is tired, it makes very little sense and it completely lacks direction. It is a poorly executed excuse to string together a bunch of old Muppet jokes and musical numbers. The Muppets had a sense of excitement that Muppets Most Wanted lacked. It’s extremely disappointing and not just because it’s such a bad film, but because it will most likely mean the end of the franchise before it had a chance to really get going again. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Soup for Thought fundraiser serves up success for Mississippi Valley Textile Museum By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There is nothing like a hot bowl of soup when the snow is blowing outside. The Mississippi Valley Textile Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (MVTM) annual Soup for Thought fundraiser was the place to be on Saturday, March 22. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our third year,â&#x20AC;? MVTM executive director/curator Michael Rikley-Lancaster said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and despite the weather, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased with the turnout.â&#x20AC;? He said the community continues to embrace the event, which brings some of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best chefs together to showcase their soup-making skills in support of the museum. Donating gourmet soup this year: Mike Curry, JRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Restaurant; Trisha Donaldson, The Chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Table; Steve Falsetto, CafĂŠ Postino; Natalie Houston, Robinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest Tea Room; Richard Kletnieks, Heirloom CafĂŠ Bistro; Julie and Jason Moffatt, Foodies Fine Foods; Sally Parsons, Palms Coffee Shop; Dustin Pettes, Ballygiblins Restaurant & Pub; and Charlene Santry, Mill Street CrĂŠpe Company. Each Soup for Thought guest selected and took home their oneof-a-kind ceramic soup bowl â&#x20AC;&#x201C; created by the Almonte Pottersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Guild and Blakeney studio potter Chandler Swain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A total of 310 finely crafted bowls were donated this year,â&#x20AC;? Rikley-Lancaster said. Soup for Thought is totally orga-
nized by the MVTMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board members and volunteers. To accommodate the large number of participants the luncheon fundraiser offered two seating times â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 1:30 to 3 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had 115 people attend our first seating,â&#x20AC;? Rikley-Lancaster said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and by the end of the day we are hoping to get to 200.â&#x20AC;? He was truly excited to see the community come together for the MVTM, which demonstrates its importance. Rikley-Lancasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite soup was Italian Wedding; however â&#x20AC;&#x153;with all the fabulous chefs you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong.â&#x20AC;? Buttered rolls, coffee, tea and a variety of desserts rounded out the menu. All proceeds from the event support the operation of the museum. Admission was $20 per person; however, children under age 12 were free. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The care of our building, which is a National Historic Site of Canada, is a big challenge,â&#x20AC;? Rikley-Lancaster said. A silent auction was also held together with the luncheon. The MVTM, located in the annex of the former Rosamond Woolen Company, was constructed in 1867 and features a fabulous blend of old and new â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all related to the history of the Mississippi Valley and the textile industry. The founding members were Herb Pragnell, Gerry Wheatley and John Dunn.

Do our local High Schools produce top notch students? They answered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A HEALTHY brain and nervous systemâ&#x20AC;?! I was completely overwhelmed with the responses I received and the level of intensity and power with which these students presented their answers. These students presented me with their own questions, speciďŹ cally about chiropractic, nutrition, post-secondary education and life in general. They shared their dreams and aspirations with me. We laughed and had fun together all while we learned from each other. What an honor! I could see that our nation will be in great hands in the future. In this class alone were three students who want to be medical doctors, three future chiropractors, one neurosurgeon, one nurse, several healthcare workers and ALL brilliant minds! Thank you Mrs. Johns and students in the senior Health Science class. Thank you CPHS for setting a standard for excellence that far exceeds expectations. This experience was easily a highlight of this chiropractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life!

My answer is a resounding: YES! I had the unique opportunity this week to speak at Carleton Place High School in the senior Health Sciences class. I had been asked by Jan Johns, the science and math teacher, to come in and give practical advice about health and our healthcare system. It was an honor for me to speak and even more of an honor to discover how brilliant these students are. I walked into a full classroom of eager brilliant minds, excited to learn about our healthcare system and chiropractic. We focused on neurology, the gene theory, health and nutrition. Where I was completely surprised and inspired was when I had an opportunity to ask a few questions of my own. I asked the students, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What controls the human body?â&#x20AC;? They answered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The brain and nervous systemâ&#x20AC;?. I asked the students, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How does the body kill a virus?â&#x20AC;? They answered, â&#x20AC;&#x153;By increasing temperature in the form of a feverâ&#x20AC;? I even asked the students, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What controls the healing in the body?â&#x20AC;?

The Employee Matching Gifts Program was initiated by co-owners Mr. Dhalla and Dr. Merani in 2003. Participation and the amount donated are voluntary and made through monthly payroll deductions.

Physiotherapy Equipment Donors The Royal Canadian Legion – Branch 192 and The Exchange Thrift Shop have teamed up to make generous donations ($5,475 and $690, respectively) to support the needed purchase of an Active/Passive Exerciser for the Physiotherapy Department at the Hospital. The interactive, accessible and mobile Exerciser is used every day for patients who have had hip and knee procedures, stroke, are in a wheelchair and for those requiring muscle gain in the arms &/or legs. The Exerciser is easy to use and provides visual direction for which muscles are working harder (as shown in the picture at top right: the Exerciser display indicates which side is working harder as the ‘driver’ is encouraged to stay in the centre of the road). Thanks to the Legion and Exchange’s valued donation, the Exerciser and attachments are now in use!

We wish them great joy & good health as they begin their journey as bride and groom! At left, Nigel and Ellie pose in front of the Hospital to acknowledge their gift.

Mississippi Mills
Do you have a septic system? If you answered “Yes”…
READ THIS ANNOUNCEMENT!
The Council of the Corporation of Mississippi Mills has made a decision on your behalf for which you will pay the sum of $115.00 The Almonte sewage treatment plant was replaced on July 25, 2012 at a cost of $24.7 million. Funding came from a grant submitted by the Town under the Building Canada Fund (2010) where Mississippi Mills (“MM”) was to contribute 1/3rd of the cost with the balance of 2/3rds provided by provincial and federal governments. There are 2,985 landowners in MM who use septic systems for wastewater. The MM council decided to charge each landowner a capital cost recovery fee of $115 to pay for the Almonte sewage treatment plant for a total of $343,275. The $115 on your property tax invoice is not part of your property taxes and is a separate charge. The cost of a private septic system can run up to $30,000 not including the well. Why do private landowners having paid thousands of $’s for their septic systems, required to pay for someone else’s sewage system when they already have one in their own backyard? What about new people moving into a rural property? Are they going to get a bill too or just the current landowners? The town residents of Almonte do not pay for the installation, replacement or maintenance of rural landowner’s septic systems? Almonte residents are responsible for their own sewage costs. The rural landowner is being forced by law to pay for a sewage treatment plant they are not hooked up to and never will be. Residents who have septic systems call a hauler to
pump out their septic tanks. After the hauler pumps out the tank he is paid by the private landowner and the contract is completed. The hauler looks for the best price per cubic metre to process the septage collected. Fees charged by MM to the hauler for processing may or may not be competitively priced and there is no requirement for the hauler to use the MM facilities. This is your opportunity to say “NO” to a bad law. The decision by council is wrong. Don’t wait to the October 27 Municipal elections to change Council. Find out now which councilor voted to take your money. Use the Courts to return your money with appropriate compensation for aggravation. Note: Municipal Act of Ontario Section 448. (2) 448. (2) Subsection (1) does not relieve a municipality of liability to which it would otherwise be subject in respect of a tort committed by a member of council or an officer, employee or agent of the municipality or a person acting under the instructions of the officer, employee or agent. 2001, c. 25, s. 448 (2). Some people have said that it is just easier to pay the $115 and say nothing than to push back. Well you might have the money… but there are people who do not. Not speaking out against this regulatory taking of your money, sends a message to council telling them that it is ok to take your money.

“Mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore” Donate to the Litigation Fund for a Class Action Suit against the Council of Mississippi Mills. If you allow this regulatory taking of $115.00 from your pocket today and say nothing, what will be taken from you tomorrow? The Lanark Landowners will match Dollar for Dollar the first $3,000 that is donated to the Litigation fund. We are asking every landowner to donate at least $20.00 to get this issue into court.

TIPS AND ADVICE FROM OUR LOCAL EXPERTS! EX X P E RT
How long does it take to form a bone spur? Many people, when told that their problem is a bone spur – whether in their neck, low back or on their heel, think that because the symptoms and the pain didn’t show up until recently, that the problem is a new one. However, when we look at xrays and we see a bone spur, we know that the problem has been going on for some time, like years. For a spur to show up on xray , the wear and tear has to have been happening to your bones for between 5 and 7 years. During this time you probably didn’t have pain. Maybe you noticed your range of motion decreasing – shoulder checks in the car felt harder? Maybe you had pain on and off, but medications took it away while your body was allowed to comfortably degenerated. Now you have a spur. Now what? The posture that caused that spur to form needs to be corrected. Then depending on how big the spur is, over time, by keeping the posture corrected, the process can be halted and it can even begin to heal. « Dr. Jaye Carlson Chiropractor Sow What?...Sow When? It’s now time to stop saying “Happy New Year” and to start browsing through your seed catalogues. This is the perfect time to formulate plans for the summer veggie garden and flower garden. Garden centre seed racks are fully stocked. It’s time to get dirty. Choose your crops carefully. There are definitely superior plant varieties. In your catalogues you can seek out AAAS or other award winners..They can be considered superior for any number of reasons. Perhaps they are earlier to harvest, or disease resistant or have superior flavour. Garden Centre staff are also well versed on the subject of superior varieties. To ignore this is to leave your spring production fraught with danger. (Maybe an overstatement) After choosing some exciting new varieties to grow alongside your comfortable favourites, there are some common pitfalls to avoid when the growing operation begins. The most common mistakes involve scheduling. This is another area where you can get excellent advice from your Garden Centre. You can also benefit greatly from your own records. Be sure to keep notes and benefit from your own experience. February is too soon for your Tomatoes and your Marigolds. Don’t let enthusiasm get in the way of success. Sow that’s what and when. « Dave Flatters Garden Specialist Choosing your project partner It could be a small project, major renovation, addition, or a new build, choosing the right people to work with, is key to success. Even if you are doing it yourself or hiring it out, teaming up with quality people will

make the entire process easier, faster, more cost efficient and in the end far more enjoyable. Projects can run from a few days, several months or even a year on a new build. From the planning stage to the specification stage to final completion, finding the right people to partner with is very important. You need to build a relationship with professional skilled and knowledgeable full time people. Be it designers, suppliers, trades people and general contractors. You are investing your hard earned dollars and future enjoyment with these people. You must enjoy working with them from start to finish and appreciate their experience, knowledge, dedication to your project and most of all enjoy your dealings together. We all like to give a newbie a chance, but unless they have obtained experience (somewhere other than your job) before starting out on their own or will be supervised, maybe it’s best to let them gain experience on other peoples projects. Referrals are a good place to start; this normally means knowledge, experience and good results. One area not to underestimate is the chain of supply. You could have all the best trades people and contractors on site but if the proper materials don’t show up on time, or are of poor quality or perhaps the product is not what you expect, then the whole job can be turned upside down. The understanding of what is needed, when it will be required and getting it there correctly and on time comes with experience. Be it lumber, windows, trusses, plumbing fixtures, trim, brick and stone or you name it, the project will come to a halt. You will spend hours, weeks or even months working with these people, so if you are not too impressed with the people you will be working with or trust them and are happy with their ability at the start of the project, then things might go well by the end. As we know education always come with a cost, experienced, knowledgeable people might not be the cheapest in the beginning, but in the long run it could turn out to be your best value and a wise investment. I know several people who said they went with so and so because they were the cheapest. I know now that was a mistake. Working with people that you like, trust and enjoy will only enhance any project. Choosing the right partners, is like choosing the right colour palette, it changes the job from an ok one to great one. « Sean Redmond Home Improvement Expert Skating on Thin Ice?

of thin ice. According to Drowning Prevention Research Centre Canada there was a 25% increase in deaths on or near ice, and a 56% increase in deaths related to snowmobiling between 2005 to 2009 versus 2000 to 2004. “Canadians enjoy the outdoors at all times of the year but the winter brings a unique set of circumstances,” explains John Bordignon, Media Relations with State Farm. “Staying safe around the ice starts with knowing the risks and how to avoid them, taking some precautions can be the difference between life and death.” The Thicker the Better Ice doesn’t freeze evenly on the surface of a lake or river, and thin patches can’t always be detected by sight alone. Ice strength is affected by current, wind, and other factors. Thin ice will not sustain the weight of a human, let alone a snowmobile, all-terrain vehicle, or truck. According to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) ice begins to be safe at around 9 to 15cm (4 - 6 inches) in thickness. In general, the rules for ice thickness measurement are: 7 cm (3”) (new ice) – keep off! 10 cm (4“) - suitable for ice fishing, cross-country skiing & walking 12 cm (5”) - suitable for a single snowmobile or ATV. 20 - 30 cm (8 to 12”) - suitable for one car, group of people. 30 - 38 cm (12 to 15”) - suitable for a light pickup truck or a van. Gone Ice Fishing? Ice fishing injuries and fatalities are usually the result of hypothermia or vehicle-related accidents. Some tips for safe ice fishing include: Dress properly and wear the right footwear. Due to the risk of hypothermia, keeping your head, hands, and feet warm and dry is essential; Bring a friend. Don’t fish alone. Also, make sure friends and family know where you’re fishing and when you plan to return home; Spread out. Do not drill too many holes in one place. The more holes, the less stable the ice surface; Don’t fish near plants. Plants produce heat as they decay. So watch your step in marshy areas; Wear a life jacket. Life vests have excellent flotation properties in case you fall into the water; Bring a pair of ice picks or screwdrivers. Keep them in your jacket in case you fall into the water and have to pull yourself out. Make sure they have wooden handles so they won’t sink; Pack a rope. It’s easier to pull someone out of the water with a rope than by the arms; Pack a first aid kit and matches. Keep these items in a dry and secure place so they will be usable in case of emergency.; Park your vehicle on dry land. Refrain from parking your car or truck on the ice. The added weight could cause the ice around you to break. WE HAVE MOVED TO 135 HOOPER STREET, CARLETON PLACE, ON « Jeff Julian Insurance Agent

Sports – After more than a week’s break, the Carleton Place Canadians’ pursuit of the Bogart Cup resumed at home on Wednesday night. The top team in the Central Canada Hockey League during the regular season had its way with the Kemptville 73’s, sweeping the eighth-place club 4-0 in the best-of-seven quarterfinal. Things will be considerably more challenging in Round 2 with the Pembroke Lumber Kings as opposition. While the Canadians won five of the six match-ups during the regular season, the Lumber Kings defeated the Canadians 3-2 in overtime the last time they met Feb. 28. And the Lumber Kings were one of the hottest teams in the CCHL down the stretch, winning eight of their last nine regular season games. They finished second in the Yzerman Division (one point behind Ottawa) and fourth overall. In their quarter-final series, the Brockville Braves pushed them to six games with the Kings taking Game 6 2-1 in overtime last Friday. After last night’s opening
Hometown boy Stephen Baylis led the way on offence for the Canadians in the opening round, scoring four times and adding four assists in the series. Brett D’Andrea has collected four goals and an assist. The defencemen were also active, led by Kelly Summers who scored twice and assisted on two others. Larry Smith, Elias Ghantous and Devin Campbell each collected four assists in the four games. Andy Sturtz, the CCHL’s leading scorer in the regular season, was injured in Game 3 of the Kemptville series after being kneed in the third period. Dean Galasso of the 73’s received a match penalty on the play for intent to injure. Sturtz didn’t dress for Game 4 but he had three assists to that point. Netminding duties will continue to fall on the shoulders of Guillaume Therien. The Mirabel, Que. native, who joined the Canadians mid-season in a trade with Hawkesbury, has been rock solid since his arrival in Carleton Place. He was a perfect 4-0 against the 73’s with a 1.25 goals against average and .949 save percentage.

Kirk Armstrong launches new CD
The published a series of articles on my business. Now everyone knows how great we are!
By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
Arts – Carleton Place professional musician Kirk Armstrong premiered his new album, Dawn, with a party at the Waterfront Gastropub in town on Saturday, March 22. Armstrong performed songs from the CD, which were written exclusively by him over the span of the last five years. “I could have put the album out two years ago, but I kept writing new songs that had to be on it,” he said. Although the singer, songwriter and guitarist classifies the music as light rock, “my own term for it is melting pop.” “I mix in a variety of musical influences,” he added. This is Armstrong’s third album. Wire, his first, was released in 2007, which was followed up by his second in 2008 – Island. “Wire was a mixture of songs I had around for a long time, and Island was written fairly quickly,” Armstrong said. He called Dawn his best work to date for a number of reasons. “First and foremost, the songs have been performed live with various instrumentation,” Armstrong explained. “They have been developed over time in an organic way.” Two of the 14 tracks – You’ve Become the Sea and You’ve Become a Stranger – have been sent to Hollywood for consideration for placement in movies and television by way of an independent agency. The other titles: Firefly, Disappear, I Lose My Head, Fever, Something I Cannot Have, She’s My Alibi, Every Time I Look at You, Time Has Passed You By, I’m Ready, She Is My Love, For Too Many Years and Walking Away. Furthermore, his experience recording and producing other artists adds quite a bit to the CD. Armstrong’s favourite song on Dawn is Disappear. He doesn’t elaborate. For more than 30 years the musician performed all over eastern Ontario as both a solo-

Armstrong recently gifted the municipality with the song Lost and Found Town. Available for download at CD Baby for $.99, all proceeds support the rebuilding of the historic town hall auditorium’s balcony. What are Armstrong’s musical influences? “Everything I hear is an influence, but my main influences have to be the Beatles, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix,” he said. Currently, Dawn is only obtainable by way of Armstrong; however, persons are encouraged to check www.kirkarmstrong.com for future availability. Going forward Armstrong will be promoting Dawn via the Civilized Busking Tour, “coming soon to an establishment near you.” “Again, check the website,” he said. “I have quite a backlog of material I hope to release in the next year or so.” First up is Clock, which will be a rock, electronic hybrid. “I have plans for a mostly acoustic album,” Armstrong said, “and a more roots oriented CD.”

residents who came out to hear the verdict on this motion, Coun. Shaun McLaughlin moved that the town planner, Steve Stirling, be directed to examine policies related to shooting ranges and similar facilities, and to provide guidance on amendments to the Community Official Plan and zoning bylaws that will direct such facilities to he most appropriate locations.

From page A/CP15
the town reviewed the 20-year growth demands for Almonte and designated those lots and the surrounding land to be included in the lands designated for the future expansion of the urban centre under the Community Official Plan. When the town created the zoning bylaw for those lands, the land was zoned “Development.” This essentially means that they are holding the land for future expansion and does not permit the erection of any additional structures on the lands, including the two privately-owned lots, other than was already existed at the time the bylaw was passed. This has created a problem for the current property owners, although they understand the need that the land be held for future development. As a result of this predicament, Committee of the Whole passed a motion recommending that council direct staff to review the current situation
