Lanark County promoting emergency preparedness May 4 to 10 to raise public awareness of the local municipal activities. Municipalities are responsible for providing a plan of prevention, mitigation, response and recovery for their residents. “Lanark County’s emergency plan has several elements,� explains

Rick Hannah, emergency services co-ordinator. “It aims to protect the health, safety, welfare and property of residents; to support local municipalities and their emergency plans in the event of a local or county emergency; and to provide available

resources to help local municipalities,� he said. Examples of emergency preparedness include encouraging residents to have 72-hour kits ready, which helps people to sustain them during the early hours of an emergency in order to reduce strain for emergency response services. Hannah notes the local municipalities and the county strive to meet six components in its preparedness program, including having emergency plans, an emergency operations centre that is ready to respond, annual training, annual emergency plan exercises, a plan to provide information to the public during an emergency and ongoing public awareness and education. Warden Richard Kidd (Beckwith Reeve) adds that education and awareness about emergency preparedness helps to lessen the intensity of an emergency situa-

tion. “When residents use the information provided, then they are informed and it helps in the event an emergency in our communities. Emergency preparedness is vital,� he said. This year the county will provide emergency preparedness information through print advertisements and interviews about what to do in an emergency. “We will also be distributing a booklet this summer containing information to help with various aspects of emergencies,� Hannah said. Emergency preparedness information can be found on each of the local municipal websites and in newspaper notifications throughout the year. For more information, check the “Emergency Services� tab at www. lanarkcounty.ca. Submitted by the County of Lanark.

Omya takes clean water seriously with massive tree plant in Tay Valley Community – Just in time for Earth Day, Omya Canada Inc located in Tay Valley Township, has made another massive commitment to conservation in the Tay watershed. Following Omya’s huge gift to the Rural Clean Water Program last month, the company is now planting 80,000 new, vigorous young trees on about 100 acres of company land around its landmark blue and white manufacturing facility on the south side of Highway 7 west of Perth. Trees are notorious for helping keep water clean so this number of trees concentrated in an area close to Rudsdale Creek will create a huge environmental filtering and cleansing function. A forested landscape also encourages a lot more infiltra-

tion of rain and snowmelt into the ground to reduce flooding, to slow down surface runoff and to slowly replenish surface streams during the coming dry season. These 100 acres of new trees, tentatively called the OMYA WOODS, are also partly located in the Intake Protection Zone for the Town of Perth’s municipal water supply. The new OMYA WOODS forest ecosystem will make a significant contribution to protecting municipal source water against contamination. The types of trees planted will be similar to the forest composition of the Tay Valley in general with lots of white pine, white cedar, red oak, bur oak, sugar maple, white spruce and tamarack. Seventy-

thousand trees are to be planted this spring with the remaining 10,000 to be planted in the spring of 2015. Conservation authority chair and Smiths Falls Coun. Ken Graham called this project “…another example of Omya Canada providing its hallmark corporate leadership in protecting the quality rural lifestyle and landscape that everyone so enjoys.” Omya Canada Inc makes quality dry ground calcium carbonate products used by the paint, plastics and building products industry. Omya’s Tay Valley plant on Rudsdale Creek (tributary to the Tay River) is one of two Omya plants in Canada. Submitted by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.

Former OPP regional commander named deputy commissioner News – Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) chief superintendent G.J. (Gary) Couture, formerly regional commander for the OPP East Region, has been promoted to the rank of deputy commissioner, provincial commander for field operations. Couture is filling the vacancy created when former provincial commander J.V.N. (Vince) Hawkes was promoted to commissioner in March. “A thorough competition process was undertaken which has led to this excellent choice. Gary Couture has demonstrated exceptional service throughout his career with the OPP and I am looking forward to working with him as a provincial commander, where I know he’ll continue to serve the people of Ontario and the OPP well,” said OPP commissioner Hawkes. Originally from Sherbrooke, Quebec, Couture started his career with the OPP in 1985 at Perth detachment. He

has served in four OPP regions in various capacities and roles, including as an investigator, detachment commander, regional director of support and as the East Region commander in Smiths Falls since 2009. As provincial commander, Couture will assume responsibility and oversight for all OPP detachment and satellite locations, administered by five regional headquarters in London, Smiths Falls, Orillia, North Bay and Thunder Bay. OPP policing services are provided to over one million square kilometres of Ontario, and over 20,000 km of highways. Couture is fluently bilingual, an advantage for a police service that works in both English and French while serving the people of Ontario. In addition, the command also includes the Aboriginal Policing Bureau. The primary mission of the OPP’s Aboriginal Policing Bureau is to provide

Breaking records for a cure From humble beginnings, M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day has grown into Crohn’s and Colitis Canada’s largest annual fundraising activity by any single supporter. Over the past

25 years, M&M Meat Shops has raised more than $24 million for medical research dedicated to finding a cure for Crohn’s and colitis. The money raised through events such as Charity BBQ Day has allowed Crohn’s and Colitis Canada to fund more than $82 million in major medical research projects. Charity BBQ Day began in 1989, when Mac Voisin, founder of M&M Meat Shops, learned that Canadians suffer from these chronic diseases at an unusually high rate. He quickly realized that he had the unique opportunity to help raise awareness and funds for a little known, and even less spokenabout condition and Canadian charity. Charity BBQ Day was born and Crohn’s and Colitis Canada gained both a corporate sponsor and a public voice. Over the past 25 years, Charity BBQ Day has grown rapidly. This year the goal is also set at $1 million. “What began in 1989 with just a handful of stores has evolved into a highly anticipated national event at more than 400 M&M Meat Shops locations across Canada. Now in our 26th year of fundraising for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada, Charity BBQ Day combines the power of our local community involvement and nationwide reach. The commitment of our franchisees and volunteers in communities from coast-to-coast is truly amazing and we thank everyone for their dedication,� says Gary Decatur, president and chief operating officer at M&M Meat Shops. “Our goal is to help Crohn’s and Colitis Canada find a cure and support the many Canadians living courageously with these chronic diseases.�

Community – On Saturday, May 10, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., visit any of the more than 400 M&M Meat Shops locations across Canada to support the M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day in support of Crohn’s and Colitis Canada (formerly known as the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada). M&M Meat Shops’ franchisees, staff and thousands of volunteers from coast-to-coast will be manning their grills to meet the Charity BBQ Day fundraising goal of $1 million. Supporters will receive a hamburger or hot dog, a drink and a bag of chips for a minimum donation of $3. Proceeds raised help fund Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis medical research. Canadians have more reasons to be concerned about Crohn’s and colitis than anyone else in the world. Families new to Canada are developing Crohn’s and colitis for the first time – often within the first generation. Crohn’s and colitis are lifelong diseases that result in pain, urgent bathroom visits, hospital stays, and multiple surgeries. It affects academic success, careers, and relationships. One in every 150 Canadians suffer from Crohn’s and colitis, a rate that ranks in the highest worldwide. These are the “Canadian diseases.� This year, M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day is pleased to have 11-year-old Halifax resident, Jillian Robinson, as Crohn’s and Colitis Canada’s representative for the event. Jillian understands all too well what it’s like to live with ulcerative colitis. “I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at three-years-old. I’ve never known what it’s like not to be sick.�

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Energy East Pipeline project takes first step in approval process DEAR EDITOR: I am happy to announce that TransCanada’s Energy East Pipeline project crossed a key milestone recently with the filing of the project’s description to the National Energy Board of Canada (NEB). The filing is the first step in the formal regulatory process for TransCanada to receive the necessary approvals to build and operate the $12 billion project that will allow eastern Canadian markets to access a less expensive and more stable supply of crude oil from western Canada. The Energy East Pipeline project involves converting approximately 3,000 kilometres of existing natural gas pipeline in our Canadian Mainline between Alberta and eastern Ontario to crude oil service and building approximately 1,600 kilometres of new pipeline to access refineries and export terminals in Quebec and Saint John, New Brunswick. Energy East is anticipated to be in service in 2018. An independent economic analysis of Energy East conducted by Deloitte found that the project will generate $35 billion in additional gross domestic product (GDP) for Canada during development and construction and the first 40 years of its operation. The project is expected to support more than 10,000 full-time jobs during development and construction of the pipeline between 2013 and 2018 with another 1,000 full-time jobs directly supported once the pipeline begins service. It is also expected to generate an additional $10

billion in provincial tax revenues over the same time period. TransCanada has held more than 60 public open houses and participated in hundreds of meetings in 2013 to provide information and discuss important topics such as water safety, pipline integrity, environmental protection and economic benefits. Important input from these events has enabled TransCanada to narrow its selection to the preliminary pipeline route. We are finding that Canadians strongly support the benefits that a project of this scope will bring with assurances that the Energy East Pipeline will operate with a limited impact on all of the resources along the pipeline route. We are currently engaging with nearly 500 communities, 155 First Nation and Metis communities and organizations and more than 5,500 landowners in six provinces. TransCanada plans to hold more events in 2014 and is committed to ensuring all of our stakeholders receive the facts and information they require and is using their feedback to design a project that addresses their questions and concerns. We invite the public to obtain more information by visiting our website at www.energyeastpipeline.com or by calling 1-855-895-8750. Steve Pohlod President Energy East Pipeline

COMMENTARY

Go carnation crazy Editorial – They may be known as the rose’s uglier cousin, but this month, carnations have the power to do a lot of good. May is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Awareness Month throughout the country and local MS chapters will be out again in full force to participate in the 38th annual Mothers Day Carnation Campaign May 8 and 9. This campaign is traditionally held in conjunction with MS Awareness Month and has raised more than $45 million for research since it was established in 1976. According to the MS Society of Canada, MS is now known as the most common neurological disease in Canada and an average of three new people are diagnosed each year. There is no cure and it can affect those within the 15 to 40 age group, though in some cases, children who are just two have been diagnosed. On May 8 and 9, just prior to the Mother’s Day weekend, volunteers with the local Leeds and Grenville chapter of the MS Society will be out in full force to sell the vibrant blooms at a number of retail outlets. Look for volunteers stationed in Perth, Kemptville, Smiths Falls and other areas. All proceeds will go towards searching for a cause and cure for MS. Selecting Mother’s Day as the time for their campaign wasn’t by accident either. The MS Society says women are three times more likely to live with MS than men, but we should all support the cause. What better way to show love to your mother than to buy her a beautiful bouqet that can also save lives?

Fluffy flat out refuses to like indoor gardening idea Lifestyle - The seeds from SteeleBriggs had long since arrived in the mail. Mother had little wood flats laid out all over the downstairs of the house. Every day I checked looking for sprouts of life, and when I saw some that hadn’t been there before, I was as excited as if I was witness to a birth…which, in a way, it was. Some of the boxes filled the window sills, and space on the bake table had been taken over, and that table pushed close to the window that looked out into the grape arbour. Mother tried to capture as much sunlight as possible to help her growing seeds along. I couldn’t tell what the plants were to become, and I wasn’t sure Mother knew either. So to take the mystery out of it all, Mother placed the empty seed packet onto a little stick and there was one in each box identifying what was planted. Very clever indeed, was my mother.

There was still a chill in the air, but the days were warming up, and Mother said soon the garden would be ploughed up and by then the sprouts could be ready for planting. Every night before I went to bed, I carried my little kitten Fluffy in my arms and circled the boxes, putting firmly in my mind how tall each sprig was, so that in the morning I could check to see what growth had taken place over the night. Mother, who was dead set against any pets in the house, allowed me to keep Fluffy, but only until she was grown enough to move to the barn. And with her in my arms, I would talk to her about the plants and how once they had been tiny little seeds, sure in my mind that she knew every word I was saying.

teaspoon and poked at the earth around the little plants coming to life in the box under the window. I wanted to believe her, but to me they looked exactly as they did two days before. Firmly holding Fluffy, I got down on my knees and smelled the little plants. All I could smell was earth. I put Fluffy’s nose close too, but she didn’t seem the least bit interested in whether or not the plants were showing any sign of life. “Those have grown a good inch,” Sometimes I sneaked Fluffy upMother said that night, as she took a stairs to my bedroom, which I shared Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

with my older sister Audrey...I’d put her under my bed on a folded blanket. That night I put her in her small cardboard box behind the Findlay Oval, because the house had cooled down, and I knew she would be as snug as a bug in a rug. I wakened the next morning to Mother’s yelling up the stairwell for me to get down to the kitchen, and I better make it fast! Wiping the sleep from my eyes I followed Mother’s pointing finger to the flat box of sprouts under the kitchen window. There was Fluffy, stretched out as neat as you please, on top of what was just about ready for planting! With orders to remove “that cat” immediately and to get her right out to the barn, (she was never to darken the door again), Mother stopped only long enough to repeat once again that animals belong in the barn! I scooped up the kitten, and even I ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea McMurtry SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

knew the sprouts were beyond repair. Mother said I could take the wood box out to the junk pile behind the silo when I was at it! Still in my pyjamas, with Fluffy under one arm, and the box of soil and flattened sprouts in the other, I headed for the silo. Fluffy spent the rest of her days with the rest of the barn cats well away from the house. Litter boxes were unheard of back in those days, but you didn’t need a university degree to tell you the smell coming from the wood box held more than a few dozen would-be vegetable plants.

LFLA Green Party selects candidate Enjoy spaghetti supper to support for the next provincial election moms, children of Interval House May 8 News – The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has just released its most comprehensive report telling us climate change is a threat to food, security and humankind. No political party in Canada is even paying lip service to the need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions other than the Green Party. The Green Party’s is determined to try and reduce the potential impacts of the nightmare scenarios outlined in this latest report and playing out throughout the world today. From epic droughts, flooding and massive storms such as Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to Hurricane Sandy, climate change is happening today on a catastrophic scale. The Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington Green Party has selected its candidate for the next Provincial election. Cam Mather from Tamworth is a farmer and publisher of books about sustainable living. He and his wife Michelle power their home and business off the electricity grid using solar and

wind power. Mather noted, “The summer of 2012 convinced me that I had to be more active in politics. It was the hottest summer on record. We experienced a brutal drought as did much of North America, and we saw historic wild fires in the southern US. Then Superstorm Sandy demonstrated the results of rising sea levels and hurricanes fueled by warm water, as New York and New Jersey suffered billions of dollars in damages.” Mather had a front row seat for the epic drought of 2012 as he tried to grow a weekly basket of vegetables for the members of his CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) group. “Climate change is accelerating and it is beginning to have an extremely negative outcome. It’s starting to affect our basic way of life with historic low water levels in some of the Great Lakes and crop losses for farmers,” Mather said. “Even OMAFRA (the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs) was advising maple syrup produc-

ers to cut back on tree tapping in 2013 because maple trees were stressed.” March of 2012 had two weeks of almost summer-like weather, which had a dramatic impact on maple syrup production. We then had a hot dry summer and a drought so there simply wasn’t the precipitation that the maple trees need. Maple trees are stressed. Mather suggests, “Can you imagine Lanark County and the surrounding area no longer being able to produce maple syrup? It’s part of who we are and climate change is impacting that.” “The Green Party is the only party squarely focused on addressing an issue which is going to impact not just our children and grandchildren, but all of us, and now, not in some distant future. I believe voters in our community are ready to elect a government serious about addressing this issue before we reach a tipping point with the climate,” he continued. Submitted by the LanarkFrontenac-Lennox & Addington Green Party.

Spring maintenance underway for canal bridges News – The Government of Canada has made record investments toward heritage canals. In the coming weeks, Parks Canada will be conducting spring maintenance at some of our swing bridges and sites, in preparation for the 2014 navigation season. This includes preventative maintenance tasks like washing and greasing swing bridges and conducting visual inspections to ensure their safe operability. Temporary bridge closures The Old Slys and Abbott Street swing bridge were already closed April 23 and 24, and April 29 and 30, respec-

When the rubber hits the retirement road be sure your financial tires are fully inflated Whether your retirement begins tomorrow or somewhere down the road, the time to begin real retirement planning is now – especially when it comes to ensuring you’ll have the retirement income you need to realize all your retirement dreams. Here’s your retirement planning quick start guide. 1. Decide when your want to retire If you decide to retire ‘early’ you’ll have fewer years to save for retirement. If you retire after 65, you can continue the tax-saving, income-building advantages of investments held in your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) until the end of the year in which you turn 71. 2. Decide on your retirement lifestyle Will you keep working at least part of the time, or even start a business? If so, you can save less in advance because even a little extra employment income can go a long way. 3. Conduct a retirement/ income analysis Estimate your monthly retirement living expenses like utilities, insurance and mortgage payments. Also consider additional costs such as travel, hobbies, and other forms of entertainment. 4. Know your government sources of income Find

Manage Your Money out how much income you can expect from government sources like the Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) or the Québec Pension Plan (QPP) and Old Age Security (OAS). Get good info at http://www. servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/ services/pensions/infocard/ janmar14.shtml. 5. Know your pension at work – if you have one Determine whether your employer-provided pension plan is a defined benefit plan or a defined contribution plan. If it’s a defined benefit plan the Pension Administrator can give you a monthly benefit payout estimate. If it’s a defined contribution plan, you’ll have to do your own estimate of monthly pension. 6. Add in your savings Know what you can expect from investments held in your Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA), RRSP and other investments. Also know the rules governing the withdrawal of income and the taxes that may be applied. 7. Do the math Add up all sources of monthly retirement income including your savings and investment withdrawals. Compare this

against your estimate of monthly retirement living expenses. If you come up short, you may need to re-think your planned retirement lifestyle, ramp up your savings strategies, or both. 8. Aim to manage taxes in retirement Strategies can include income or pension splitting with your spouse, sharing CPP/QPP benefits, and investing in a tax-advantaged mutual fund-based Monthly Income Portfolio. 9. Get professional advice Now that you know exactly what you want in retirement, meet with your professional advisor to develop a plan that will ensure you are adequately prepared for the costs of your retirement.

Community – If you want to give your home some TLC this spring, then the Algonquin College Perth Campus has just the courses you need to get the job done. From window installation to re-furbishing furniture, the college’s continuing education program has two home-related courses on offer this spring that will help you tackle those jobs on your to-do list. The first course, Do-It-Yourself Home Renovations, provides participants with basic theoretical and practical instruction in Canadian wood frame house construction. Topics covered over the six-week course include: basic framing of walls, including openings, insulation and vapour barrier, interior and exterior finishes, window and door insulation, interior and exterior trim, history of styles and proportions. Taught by Algonquin College professor, Shawn Thomson, students will also have a one-on-one opportunity to sit down with him to review any first-hand questions about their home-renovation projects. “People really want to take ownership over their home projects, and this course is a great starting point to boost their confidence in finishing the projects themselves,� explains Thomson. Work boots and safety goggles are required, but all other tools and materials will be supplied.

Winning Junior A title is a total community effort As a long-time Carleton Place resident and junior hockey fan I thoroughly enjoyed the playoffs which culminated Easter Sunday when Canadians won a 2-1 overtime thriller against visiting Smiths Falls Bears to wrap up the CCHL championship series in five games. They claimed the Bogart-Nielsen Cup for their efforts. Now they are hoping for more success along the national playoff trail. I have covered junior hockey for newspapers for 43 years. This season in Carleton Place made me think of the town’s past successes in Junior B hockey. Clarke himself led the former Carleton Place Legion Kings (now Almonte Thunder) to back-to-back Valley Division championships in what is now the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) in 2008 and 2009. He then completed the considerable jump to Junior A hockey. By the way Almonte won the Valley Division (Junior B) title this year and should be applauded. They too are in just their fifth campaign in the EOJHL. This season in Carleton Place harkens back to the late 1970s and early 1980s when Legion Kings were coached by the late Bill Griese Sr. Carleton Place won Junior B titles in the former Northwest Division in 1979 and 1981. Their 1981 line-up included a young defenceman named Dave Ellett. He went on to a 17-year National Hockey League career including lengthy stints with Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs.

playoff tickets early in Carleton Place. The rink was jammed to the rafters every night. With no reserved seating, fans went to the arena during the day and placed blankets or coats on seats to save them for night games. The atmosphere was electric and Legion Kings delivered solid success for several consecutive campaigns. This season it was déjà vu all over again. Except in Junior A hockey the level of play is so much higher. And the production values – the light and sound show – is extremely good for a small town. Canadians have made it fun to go to the community centre and local fans have responded. The playoff crowds were huge with capacity audiences for most of the club’s nine home games during the post-season. It takes a community effort to make a junior hockey team a success. Clarke has stressed that from Day 1. He’s to be commended for getting his players so involved in the town in general. Canadians’ players volunteer at the local daycare facility and the public library among other places. They take part in many community functions throughout the long Junior A season. I am most impressed on Remembrance Day (Nov. 11) when I see all of the Canadians’ players who are available at the Cenotaph, wearing their Huge interest In those long ago days you uniform jerseys, and taking part had to get your junior hockey in the annual service of remem-

house laughed when I spoke to her at the series clinching game Easter Sunday. Yes, it takes a community to make this kind of organization work and become the success Carleton Place Canadians have in such a short time. Canadians’ motto is: “One Town, One Team, One Goal!” In just five short seasons Carleton Place Canadians have reached their goal. Obviously I wish them nothing but success at the Fred Page Cup in Montreal and a berth in the national championship tournament in B.C. A Canadian title is a rare feat considering there are 127 teams in 10 leagues, in three regions of the country who vie for the honour annually. In the more than 50-year history of the CCHL only two clubs, the most recent being Pembroke in 2011, have won the national competition. To me, whatever Canadians accomplish following their recent league championship victory will be gravy. But as a long-time Carleton Place junior hockey fan I will be following their national playoff exploits with great interest!

families who agree to billet players. The athletes themselves are recruited from across North America. Canadians’ current 26-man roster features six American players and 14 (including those from the U.S.) from outside this region. They are young men, many of them students who require a good home to live in during the hockey season. Their families quite rightly expect nothing less! Every season people here step forward and open their homes to a player or in some cases more than one. They are welcomed into people’s homes and soon become a member of the family. Even though the team subsidizes their living expenses it is a huge commitment to take another person into your home. Especially someone who eats so much! Ask a host family what their weekly grocery bill is? There must be many hidden costs involved and yet these families happily take on a major commitment which, this season, is at least nine months long. A host family who lives in our neighbourhood had a lot of visitors from Michigan (where their player is from) Easter weekend. “I had 23 for brunch this morning,” the lady of the

brance. This has happened every year since Carleton Place joined the CCHL. As Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc told me last week, “The players are such great role models for children here.” Owner and head coach Clarke is quick to credit the people of Carleton Place for his team’s success. Following the big overtime win Easter Sunday Clarke told me, “It was so unbelievable to share this experience (league championship) with all of our fans, supporters and sponsors.” Obviously it is regular fans that back the team through 31 home games and the post season. It is supporters who assist the club whenever and wherever necessary. And most important of all it is the sponsors who help fund the team through either direct or in-kind donations. Early this season Canadians’ bus suffered a malfunction and caught fire. It was destroyed. The team had to scramble to make alternate travel arrangements. A major sponsor soon stepped forward and the team now has an excellent vehicle to get them to and from road games. Another huge factor is those

Lifestyle – When Carleton Place Canadians’ owner and head coach Jason Clarke had his expansion bid accepted by the Central Canada Hockey League (Tier 1 Junior A) in 2009, he told me his goal was to win the league championship in “a reasonable period of time.” It has taken Clarke just five seasons to achieve that goal. Quite remarkable when you consider that some junior hockey teams never win a championship despite decades of trying! Clarke has proven himself to be an excellent recruiter. He clearly knows blossoming hockey talent when he sees it. This season underlines the fact. His Canadians either set or tied every record for winning in CCHL history. The league is more than half a century old and Carleton Place is the most recent addition in what is now a 12-team loop. The CCHL includes five Ottawa-based clubs and seven others in communities across eastern Ontario. Canadians rang up an impressive 110 points in 62 games and set new benchmarks for wins, home ice victories and consecutive wins at home. They also tied Pembroke Lumber Kings’ mark for road triumphs set in 2009-10. As you read this column Carleton Place is in Saint-Jérôme, Quebec (a Montreal suburb) competing in the Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian Junior A championship tournament. The final game is set for Sunday afternoon. The winner advances to the Royal Bank Cup Canadian Junior A championship which this year is being played in Vernon, British Columbia May 10-18. So, pretty heady stuff for such a young organization.

Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists get set to host fifth annual Spring Gathering By IAIN WILKES

Lifestyle – The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN), founded in the spring of 1988, will hold their fifth annual Spring Gathering. The evening will include a banquet and a keynote presentation entitled “Caterpillars Talk and Butterflies Listen" which will be given by Dr. Jayne Yack, acoustic ecologist at Carleton

iversity. Once thought to be both deaf and mute, we now know that caterpillars can talk and butterflies can listen. During their daily activities these creatures communicate via a wide range of sounds and vibrations. Caterpillars send signals to defend territories or to startle predators. Butterflies eavesdrop on predators. Tap into the secret communication channels of the acoustic

sensory world of insects and meet translator, Dr. Yack. MVFN’s Spring Gathering will take place Thursday, May 15 at the Almonte Civitan Community Hall, 500 Almonte St., just west of Highway 29, in Almonte. The reception will begin at 6 p.m. at which you can meet, share a drink, and chat with friends. The banquet commences at 6:45 p.m., followed by the featured presentation at

approximately 8 p.m. Tickets are $35 and must be purchased or reserved in advance by Friday, May 9. Tickets may be purchased in Almonte at the Gilligallou Bird Store, #3 – 14 Mill St. (613-461-7333); in Carleton

Place at Read’s Book Shop, 135 Bridge St. (613-2577323); in Lanark at New Runway Clothing Store, 46 George St. (613-259-5677); and in Perth at The Office, 11 Wilson St (613-267-2172). Please contact MVFN’s

Barbara Has Assisted over 3000 Families to Buy or Sell their Homes

a home by themselves. The top factors considered by those who intend to buy this year include the stability of their job situation and manageable debt levels. Confidence in these areas indicates that Canadians are more mindful of their finances than in 2013, which directly impacts the ability to afford home ownership. Among those likely to buy a home within the next two years, four-in-ten will be first time homebuyers. “The increase in buying intentions across the country gives the strong signal that there is renewed confidence in the market, but also that Canadians are more prepared this year to take that step into homeownership,” said Rachel Wihby, senior manager, Home Equity Finance, RBC. “We want to make sure that Canadians have access to the advice they need when they are buying a home. Often, there are things that first time home buyers may not think of that can ensure they are more prepared, like budgeting for closing costs or getting a home inspection. We want to help set them up for success.”

Business - More Ontarians plan to buy homes this year compared to last, according to the 21st annual RBC Home Ownership Poll. Nearly one-in-four (24 per cent) residents of Canada’s most populous province said they intend to buy a home this year, up from less than one-in-five (14 per cent) in 2013. “Ontarians continue to see the value in home ownership,” said Erica Nielsen, vice-president, Home Equity Finance, RBC. “The continued belief that the housing market is a good investment, combined with the increase in number of those who intend to buy, really highlights that Ontarians have no doubt in the strength of the housing market and want to participate more than they have in recent years. These findings are uniform across Canada, and may be the result of a number of factors, including job stability and having saved enough for a down payment.” While the majority of Canadians (62 per cent) intend to buy a home with their spouse or partner, more than one-in-four (28 per cent) Canadians intend to buy

Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society to hear from renowned botanist May 7 Lifestyle – Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society welcomes renowned botanist Diana BeresfordKroeger to its May 7 meeting. Diana brings together ethno-botany, horticulture, spirituality and alternative medicine to reveal a path toward better stewardship of the natural world. Dubbed “The Tree Whisperer� by The Globe and Mail’s Sarah Hampson (Oct. 17, 2013), Diana defines herself as a “renegade scientist.� Her book, The Global Forest: 40 Ways Trees Can Save Us, is to be featured in a documentary currently being shot by award-winning filmmaker Jeff McKay (Recreating Eden). This documentary is part of the Ten Trees That Can Save the World project that will use television programming, a website, and interactive educational components to try to educate seven billion people on the importance of trees. Trees are, of course, Diana’s topic at the upcoming Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society meeting, and it is a topic she takes very personally. Over the years, she and husband Christian have planted more than 100 indigenous and endangered trees on their 160-acre property near Merrickville. Diana’s first-hand study of these and other specimens she has visited world-wide

PCC is excited to announce that their fall 2014 musical will see a return to the big stage at Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) with the much anticipated Oliver. “It’s no secret that I’ve wanted the opportunity to do Oliver for many years

now,� said this year’s director David Bird. “It’s a wonderful show that can really show case the incredible talent we have in this area.

are wonderful choral numbers too.� Information about where, when and how to audition will be a main agenda item at this year’s PCC annual general meeting to be held on Wednesday, May 21 at 7 p.m. in room 101 at PDCI. “We’re expecting to generate a lot of excitement at this meeting,� said Bird.

Consider some of the fostering opportunities available at LAWS Lifestyle – Lanark Animal Welfare Society is currently looking for reliable and loving foster homes. The foster program is an essential tool for coping with the overcrowding issues that the shelter often faces. It is a way for kind-hearted individuals to give a shelter animal a less stressful environment in which to heal, care for kittens/puppies and deal with behavioural issues such as separation anxiety. Fostering provides short-term care in safe, loving environments for our cats and dogs in need until they are adopted into their forever homes. Fostering can last anywhere from a few days to several months and all animal care costs are covered. All you need to provide is the space and the love. This essential program maximizes the number of animals rescued, and offers a healthy alternative to shelter life. A good foster home provides opportunities for exercise and socializing and increases the opportunities for adoption and a smoother transition into a permanent home. The win-win program offers individ-

this sweet natured and gentle dog was custom made for loving and cuddling. She may have a moderate energy level, but she remains a happily active social butterfly, excellent with people, with most dogs and with cats. Low to moderately vocal, Rosie knows some of the basic commands, is housebroken, good on leash and really, really loves car rides. An all round healthy, outgoing and bubbly little beauty, she will need some dental work in the near future to perfect that beauty. And to complete this almost perfect picture, she would love nothing more than to become some loving family’s forever social butterfly.

The power of gospel has always been enjoyed May 3: Cure SMA at Little Rock Farm from 2 to 10 p.m. This is a wonderful fundraiser for the whole family to raise funds and awareness about SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy). There will be horse rides, a mechanical bull, a lovely country dinner, a pie eating contest, a silent auction and, best of all, a

messages of hope through life’s challenges. I recently attended a concert entitled country gospel bluegrass concert featuring a Kingston-area based group called The Old Hims held at the local high school. They got their start singing hymns set to a country style and have since expanded to also utilize more contemporary songs of praise. The quartet is made up of Ross Clow on vocals and rhythm guitar – 79 years young, Glen Neff, 81, on mandolin, pedal steel and vocals, Dwayne Rennie on bass – the youngster at nearly 70, and Charlie King on keyboard, fiddle and that gift of the stunningly deep bass voice (often found in gospel), just having turned 70. Their harmonies were simple and sweet, their instrumentation adding to their sound. The almost full house certainly enjoyed their presentation. Other notables on the bill were Perth’s own George Lackey who, at 95, hobbled to the mic and proceeded to impress us all with his sense of humour, passion, guitar and vocal work. Ervin Sweeney, joined by 13-year-old vocalist Grace Francis and Ervin’s young granddaughters, Arianne, Annika and Anastasia Burnside, all on fiddle and their mother on piano, showed us just what a wonderful musical family sounds like. Fred Williams, his daughter Miriam and her husband Sean Keye covered a couple of songs and then sang a sweet tune Miriam had written. Fred’s guitar work was impressive as were their subtle harmonies, impressing us all. It’s easy to see why Thom Gardiner, previously of the now defunct Northern Sons Bluegrass Band won so many Songwriter and Vocalist of the Year awards previously at the Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards. Hearing his unique voice was a memorable experience in itself and his self written tunes rang with hope. It seemed fitting to close this show with everyone joining in on the classic Amazing Grace. Its theme of forgiveness and redemption, written by English clergyman/poet John Newton in 1779 has stood the test of time and, like gospel music, will continue to bring hope and reassurance to us all.

Lifestyle – I’ve always enjoyed the power of gospel music and have been touched by it throughout my life. I remember early days of Sunday school when we’d sing songs then identified as “negro spirituals� like Go Tell It On the Mountain or the song Pete Seeger helped make famous, We Shall Overcome. It was originally thought he took it from the gospel song, I’ll Overcome Someday, originally written by Charles Albert Tindley in 1901 but more recent study has shown that the song actually came from a spiritual written in the early 1930s by Louise Shropshire entitled If My Jesus Wills. It was taught to Seeger by Zilphia Horton, which he claimed in 2012, adapting it into what has become the anthem of the civil rights movement. Gospel music roots are from field songs, the African American styles dating back as far as the 1700s where most in the fields were unable to read, so, call and response songs with much repetition were utilized to allow everyone to join in and build strength through songs of hope and communal singing. Originally mostly a cappella (sung without musical accompaniment), it evolved to be supported by foot stomping and hand clapping. Gradually guitars and other instruments were added as they became available. Gospel quartets utilizing often complex harmonies, developed in the 1930s with groups like the Blind Boys of Alabama and the Dixie Hummingbirds, singing a cappella. These groups have evolved to this day, now having instrumentation backing them. The Jordanaires were one of the first white gospel groups to sing spirituals and became the backing group for Elvis Presley in 1956. They continue to this day in Nashville where the Ottawa rockabilly band, The Kingmakers, had them do some background on one of their albums, just a few years ago. Besides recording with Elvis, The Jordanaires became the go to background group, recording with Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Marty Robbins, Ricky Nelson and virtually every other major name in both pop and country music during the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s; between 2,200 and 2,500 hundred artists and more than 30,000 sides recorded in the studios; plus, their stage work, radio transcriptions, shows and television appearances, to date. I remember seeing the Dixie Hummingbirds at Ottawa’s Bluesfest a few years ago and being mesmerized by the harmonies, the power and the spirit their music oozed. Recordings of Mahalia Jackson, Lou Rawls & Pilgrim Travellers, The Staple Singers and later, Mavis Staples all still give me goose bumps.

Recent Tree Talk sheds light on local Emerald Ash Borer situation

human involvement. “Firewood is one of the major ways that this bug is being spread,” Nadar said. “When the firewood is transported, the bugs go with it and then are able to infect healthy trees.” The beetles are also transported through nursery stock; the young trees that are grown in nurseries to be planted elsewhere are also prone to infection and can spread the problem when they’re dug up and shipped away. All ash trees are vulnerable to the Emerald Ash Borer, though the species of Blue Ash seems to show some tolerance to the bug. The Mountain Ash is not affected at all, but only because it is not a true ash. “The worst news is that any infected tree will die without treatment, and the treatments are not always effective and they’re costly,” Nadar said.

The Emerald Ash Borer makes its home inside of ash trees, Nadar said. Not only do the adult beetles feed on the leaves of the tree, but the larvae grow, hatch and feed on the inside of the tree, leaving tunnels and gorges in the tree’s wood. Once adult Emerald Ash Borers land on an adult tree, they get to work starting families. “They are excellent lovers,” Nadar said with a laugh. “They can lay numerous amounts of eggs inside the trees.” After the larvae start to grow and feed on the inside of the tree, and the adult bugs start eating the leaves, the tree will start to die. First, the leaves around the crown of the tree will start to die as the tree fights to stay alive. Then, the bark on the tree’s main truck could start to split as the larvae’s tunnels become too much for it to bear. “Suckers,” or newer, smaller trees, could soon start sprouting from the base of the tree as the original tree gets closer an closer to death. Then, finally, the tree will die completely, never to be revived. Catching the bugs before the problem gets too involved could be the first step in saving the tree. “Sometimes, the tree can be saved if someone is willing to treat the tree,” Nadar said, “but the problem needs to be caught early on.” The bugs will leaves just a few signs that they are there: look for cracks in the tree’s bark, thinning leaves with feeding marks on them, increased woodpecker activity and D-shaped exit holes on the trunk and branches. “Some of these beetles are dyslexic, though,” added Ed Lawrence, “so the D-shape could be upside down or sideways.”

The infection

The solution

By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

News – It’s green, it’s mean, and it’s here to stay. That was the message of the Little Green Monster seminar that Dr. Ian Nadar recently gave to a small group of concerned local residents on the Emerald Ash Borer and the situations it is causing in North America: the pest is here now, and there’s not much that can be done about it. On Wednesday, April 23, Nadar spoke at the Almonte Old Town Hall as part of Mississippi Mills’ Arbour Week, presenting information on the current threat the Emerald Ash Borer beetle poses on local trees. “The Emerald Ash Borer bug is not good news,” Nadar said during his presentation. “Local ash trees, if they are not already infected with the bug, soon will be. There is little chance of escaping it.” Nadar is a tree expert with more than 40 years experience dealing with tree disasters. In fact, at the beginning of his career, Nadar worked with Ed Lawrence, Mississippi Mills’ own famous Master Gardener, on the Dutch Elm Disease outbreak of the 1950s and ‘60s, which caused the majority of elm trees in North America to be completely wiped out. Lawrence himself was present for Nadar’s Little Green Monster presentation, adding bits of humour to the otherwise grim news of the future of ash trees in Mississippi Mills and the rest of North America. The problem Nadar started his presentation by giving a history of the Emerald Ash Borer, and how it came to be the problem that it is today. The Emerald Ash Borer, he said, is native to Asia and came to

Dr. Ian Nadar gave an eye-opening talk on the current threat of the Emerald Ash Borer at his seminar called “Little Green Monster” on Wednesday, April 23 at the Almonte Old Town Hall. From left: Ron Ailing, the chair of the Mississippi Mills tree committee, Dr. Ian Nadar, Ed Lawrence. North America by way of wooden crates that had been imported from China. In its native land, the Emerald Ash Borer is not a problem: with a sort of natural resistance to the beetle, the Chinese Ash is not affected by the presence of the bug, and natural predators help keep the bug’s population under control. However, in North America, where there are no known natural predators and the trees are vulnerable, the Emerald Ash Borer quickly began to wreak havoc, and worse, spread farther than anyone had anticipated. “At first we thought that it would not be as big a problem as it has now become,” Nadar said. “We were wrong, though.” The beetle, which is a bright emerald green colour, hence the name, grows to be between 8.5 and 14 millimetres in length. It was first discovered in North America in 2002 in Detroit, Michigan.

Team

By the time the Borer had been discovered there, though, the affected trees were too far gone to save. Since the signs of an Emerald Ash Borer infestation are not always immediately obvious, trees can suffer silently for years before it is known why. One of the major reasons why the beetle has been able to spread so quickly is because, during the demise of the elm population with the Dutch Elm Disease, the dead trees were often replaced by ash trees; now, with a massive population of ash trees all over the continent, the bugs are able to flourish. “Ash was not the best option,” Nadar said, “but it was used to replace trees everywhere.” On their own, the Emerald Ash Borer was thought to be able to travel between one and three kilometres, but that has proved to be false hope, Nadar said. We now know that the bugs can fly quite well on their own, but the major problem is

While Nadar said there is no hard and fast solution to the Emerald Ash Borer problem, there are a few things that can be done. The first, he said, is to stop the spread of the bugs. Firewood transportation is now being regulated across North America, but local residents need to be conscious of it as well. The second thing that needs to be done is to dispose of any infected trees that cannot be saved. The best way to dispose of the trees, Nadar said, is to doublegrind them into sawdust, to get the pieces down small enough that the bugs will not survive the process. As far as saving newly-infected trees or healthy trees, there are a few ways to manage the problem, but for a price. There are some injectable chemicals that can be purchased and administered to the tree on an annual basis to manage the Emerald Ash Borer, but the treatment is not cost-effective in the long run. Scientists are also working on the feasibility of introducing one of the bug’s natural predators to help manage the problem, but that won’t happen for a few years, if at all. Conclusion By the end of his presentation, though Nadar delivered it in an upbeat way, many of the seminar’s guests were left feeling upset. He said that by three years from now, most, if not all, of Mississippi Mills’ ash trees would be infected by the Emerald Ash Borer. “Is there anything we can do?” one woman asked. “If you have an ash,” Nadar said, “consider it gone. The best thing to do is to plant another tree, a different species, right away.”

project, and it turned out to be a great success. The municipality now has a regional fund plus 10 other funds, and local assets are used to support local priorities. “Now we’ve decided to come out to this area,” Brunette said. “We offer a lot of knowledge, endowment management expertise and philanthropic engagement experience,” he continued. The vicinity of Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills falls between the Perth & District Community Foundation, Brockville Community Foundation and CFO. Smiths Falls has already had discussion with the Perth & District Community Foundation. “The Community Foundation of Ottawa’s role, which began a couple of months ago, was to come in and make sure there was interest in the communities,” Brunette said. Seventy-one established charities exist in the Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills area. Brunette will be speaking to councils in Beckwith and Mississippi Mills in the near future. He said there are 37 charities in Carleton Place, and many are well known. For example, Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital, Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital

Foundation, Carleton Place & District Youth Centre, Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society, Carleton Place and District Horticultural Society, People First of Ontario, Carleton Place Public Library and Lanark County Interval House. “The idea behind the community foundation is to make philanthropy accessible to all individuals, families, clubs, corporations and other charities,” Brunette said. The first formal meeting of interested parties (Scantlebury, Jeff Mills of the Mills Community Support Corporation, etc.) regarding the local initiative happened on March 7. Since then a number of meetings have taken place with stakeholders, and the general consensus seems to be a North Lanark communities fund, rather than segmented in smaller groups. “I am passionate about this,” Brunette said, “and interest from the charities I’ve spoken to is better than anticipated.” “Community foundations are not meant to bulldoze through existing charities,” he continued. “We work closely with organizations such as the United Way, and more importantly, our expertise is in endowment management.” The CFO has a number of donors, and 764 funds. “Donors work with community foundations for several rea-

sons, including simplicity, anonymity, community knowledge and endowment management,” Brunette said. The idea behind the community foundation is to make philanthropy accessible to all individuals, families, clubs, corporations and other charities. Coun. Rob Probert understands the management level a community foundation can bring to small charities “that desperately need that kind of help.” The politician had a simple question: “The money raised from this area, does it stay in this area?” “Yes,” Brunette answered, “and local stakeholders allocate the funds.” Community funds are usually invested as endowments and a percentage of the total value of the fund is made available to be distributed annually, in perpetuity. Mayor Wendy LeBlanc asked when Brunette saw the area foundation being officially established. “We are currently formalizing our awareness with the local community,” he said. “However, we do need to explore this a bit longer, and decide who would site on the board, etc.” “In the third quarter of 2014, if the right people are involved,” Brunette continued. “Most of the success of this relies on word of mouth.”

FLOODING From front page

“We’re at the mercy of nature always,” he said. “We just have to do the best we can in the conditions that we’re given.” Usually, Mountenay said, water levels peak in early April and the goal is to have everything back to normal by the long weekend in May. This year, though, the water levels are just now starting to drop. The good news is that it looks like the worst of the flooding is over, but Mountenay says that the potential for flooding never really goes away. “We have a lot of rain in the forecast,” he said, “and a bad storm might push water levels back up, but we’re not expecting any major changes.” Mountenay says that water levels will remain high for about week, due to the large amounts of rain, but that they should regulate about a week

For A Taste of the County event May 5 to support Therapeutic Riding Program By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

Community – Everyone loves going out for an evening of great food and wine – but wouldn’t it be even better if you could support a great cause while you’re at it? For A Taste of the County is an annual event that is exactly that: a local food, wine and beer tasting gala that raises money for the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program. “The gala is one of the major fundraisers for the program,� said Amy Booth, co-ordinator of the organization. “We don’t receive any ongoing funding from the government so fundraising is really the way we’re able to keep the program going.� The Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program is one of the county’s oldest with more than 28 years behind them, the program has helped countless kids and adults through beneficial therapy and rehabilitation involving horses.

In order to help the program to continue and thrive, the organization hosts fundraisers, like this food and wine tasting gala, to help offset the almost $200,000 it takes to run it every year. This year’s For A Taste of the County event, which will be the eighth annual event of its kind, will take place on Monday, May 5 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Almonte Civitan Club. The $10 ticket will grant you access to the gala, where dozens of local vendors, from restaurants to breweries, will be ready and waiting for guests to sample their food and beverage wares. Some of the vendors being showcased this year are: the Barley Mow, CafÊ Postinos, Derick Cotnam Catering, Foodies, Ballygiblins, the Good Food Company, Slackoni’s, the Perth Brewing Company and Harwood Estates Winery. Once guests have entered the gala, they can purchase $1 tickets, which they can then use to purchase the food and beverage samples around the room.

The eighth annual For A Taste of the County food and wine tasting gala will be held at the Almonte Civitan Club on Monday, May 5. Pictured here is Derick Levesque, owner of Carleton Place’s Ballygiblins, which is one of the local food vendors that will be participating in the event. Levesque is a long-time supporter of the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program. Submitted photo

Each vendor will sell their various samples from between $1 and $6. “This is such a highly social event,� said Booth. “When people are milling around from table to table it gets to be a really fun night. It’s a great way for parents to have a night just for them.� In the midst of the wining and dining will be what Booth called a “monstrous� silent auction.

“The auction is always huge,� Booth said. “It’s a great way for us to raise some money and for people to get some really great stuff.� The event receives auction donations in a wide range of categories: from topsoil for a garden or wheelbarrows to art sculptures and spa certificates. “Overall, it’s just a fun way to spend an evening,� Booth said. “It’s become quite highly-anticipated by people who have been before.� Each year, the gala raises around $10,000 for the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program, which Booth says is a great start. “It’s just a drop in the bucket in terms of our yearly needs,� she said, “but it’s a large drop. Every little bit counts.� Anyone interested in attending the event can purchase tickets at Mill Street Books in Almonte, Read’s Book Store in Carleton Place or Shadowfax in Perth. Alternatively, they can contact Booth at abooth@lcp-home.com or by calling 613-257-7121 ext. 238.

Open Mic fundraiser May 4 to benefit Carleton Place teenager tgesner@perfprint.ca

The event is open to everyone to come and watch, and tickets are $5 per person (available at the door). “We will also be selling bracelets that read in English and French – Hope for Sara,� Bradley said. “They are $2 each.� Donations for Sara can also be mailed to St. Marys Catholic Church: 28 Hawthorne, Carleton Place, Ont. K7C 3A9.

Community – After a car accident left 17-year-old Sara Buckley of Carleton Place in a persistent vegetative state, non-communicative due to bilateral vocal cord paralysis, incontinent, and relying on a gastrojejunostomy (GJ) feeding tube due to an abdominal obstruction, the community is reaching out to support the teenager in her recovery. An Open Mic night for the youth of Carleton Place is planned for Sunday, May 4, at St Mary’s Catholic Church. Proceeds from the fundraiser, which runs from 7 to 9 p.m., will help support Sara’s family with her Devastating accident

Sara’s accident happened on Oct. 29, 2013. She was struck as a pedestrian by a minivan on Eagleson Road in Kanata. “Sara had no life signs, but a nurse on scene brought her back,� Bradley said. As a result, Sara suffered numerous fractures (facial, pelvic, tibia and fibula), and the optical nerve of her right eye was torn. It is not known if it will regenerate. Her most serious wounds, however, were a basilar skull fracture and diffused axonal brain injury. While in hospital at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO), Sara suffered significant weight loss due to four bouts of clostridium difficile (C. difficile).

“Since her last infection, she has gained weight,� Bradley said, “which is aiding in her recovery.� Deemed medically stable, Sara was discharged from CHEO earlier this month, on April 7, to continue to heal at the family’s home on Moffatt Street. Sara requires 24-hour nursing care and supervision, “and many costs are covered by insurance,� Bradley said. As indicated by family, Sara will require daily cognitive, physio, occupational, speech, massage, cranial-sacral and chiropractic therapies as well as intense rehabilitation over her life. “She’s a fighter,� Bradley said, “and we pray and hope.�

Many celebrate, recognize David Hueston’s contributions to community By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

Above, Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc presents local resident David Hueston with a framed certificate on Monday, April 28, recognizing his many years of dedicated volunteer service to the community. Right, a number of well wishers celebrated David Hueston’s recognition by the town for his years of picking up garbage downtown, helping to keep Carleton Place beautiful. Pictured, from left, is Ron Latham, mayor Wendy LeBlanc, Ken Blackburn, Hueston, former mayor Paul Dulmage, Dan Creighton and Wayne Drummond. all day.� Hueston was born in Carleton Place on March 24, 1938. “A couple of years ago David asked me to locate where his parents are buried,� adult protective services worker Marc Loubert recounted. After discovering they were laid to rest at the United Cemetery on Cemetery Side Road, “I took him out to visit, and we found out David’s father served in the First World War.� Hueston grew up in Carleton Place and went to Central School, which became the site of the post office. “He lived with his family until his mother passed away,� Loubert said. “David was 13-years-old.� Later he spent time in Smiths Falls, Picton and Kingston; however, Hueston came back to Carleton Place in the 1960s. Loubert thanked the ladies from LCSS and LeBlanc for arranging the recognition event, which included baked goods and coffee and plenty of shared stories. “David’s a great man, “ former mayor Paul Dulmage said, “and he remembers everything.� Today the guest of honour smokes a pipe, but back in the day it was cigars.

Dulmage recalled taking Hueston to Burger King in Bells Corners for his 40th birthday. “When I told David the sign in the restaurant read no smoking, he simply put his thumb over the pipe’s chamber and extinguished it,� he said. “Later he wanted to go to the Prime Minister’s house, and I took him.� Although the duo didn’t get in, Hueston told Dulmage he had a whole bunch of things to tell Canada’s leader. Another time the former mayor took Hueston to his wife’s baseball party, and “he never stopped dancing.� Retired police inspector Wayne Drummond recalled Hueston being fast at setting up bowling pins at the bowling alley. “He was faster than a machine,� Drummond said, “and he was always chewing a big wad of bubble gum.� Retired businessman Ken Blackburn of Ken’s Discount Shoe Store remembered the day Hueston needed a new pair of laces for his boots. “When he asked how much, I told him they were free,� Blackburn said. “David immediately told me he would take two pairs.� “David knew all the police officers, and even the names of their kids,� form police officer Ron Latham said. Hueston resides at Stoneridge Manor on High Street, and he helps out at Riverview Seniors Residence in the tuck shop. R0012604522_0320

News – His actions meant so much to so many people. On Monday afternoon, April 28, Carleton Place resident David Hueston was recognized for his many years of dedicated volunteer service to the community. For decades Hueston walked up and down Bridge Street, the town’s main thoroughfare, picking up garbage, helping to keep Carleton Place beautiful. Passing on a comment by former mayor Brian Costello about Hueston, current mayor Wendy LeBlanc said: “David cleans up the messes other people leave.� Hueston is a participant in Lanark County Support Services (LCSS) Lifeskills Day Program. LCSS offers a variety of services and programs to individuals with developmental disabilities. “It’s a great pleasure for me to be here,� LeBlanc said. “I’ve known David for a long time. He once lived beside my parents.� She thanked him for working hard to keep the community clean. Close to 1,800 people registered this year participate in the Carleton Place Business Improvement Association’s (BIA) week-long community cleanup campaign, which ran in conjunction with Pitch-In Canada (April 20-26). “Back in the day, David was a one-man show, which is quite remarkable,� LeBlanc said. She remembered the town’s former police officers always looked out for Hueston, making sure he was safe. “They even gave you a safety vest,� LeBlanc said. The mayor thanked a smiling Hueston on behalf of council and the town, presenting him with a framed certificate.“Again, thank you for all that you’ve done,� she said. When LeBlanc asked Hueston if he wanted to say a few words, he said: “Maybe some day.� “David is absolutely thrilled,� LCSS instructor Alexis MacDonald commented. “He’s been giggling

Community – With Mother’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how you’ll show your appreciation for the woman who devoted most of her time to caring for you. The Herb Garden, which is located just outside of Almonte, has a delicious way for you to treat your mom this year: their annual Mother’s Day Brunch. Served in their Heritage Barn, which was constructed in the 1830s, the gourmet brunch will take place on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 11, in two sittings: one at 10 a.m. and one at 12:30 p.m. “We started doing food events to showcase the culinary uses of herbs,” said Gerry Bedard, of the Herb Garden’s famous ownership team, Gerry and George. “The Mother’s Day Brunch is no different: we want to highlight the best traits of out herbs.” The Herb Garden has been hosting the annual Mother’s Day brunch since

Gerry and George took over in 2004. This year’s event, though, is a little bit different: there’s a new caterer now. Though they are new to the Mother’s Day Brunch event, The Mixing Bowl is an established Ottawa catering company known for creating gourmet dishes. Menu The brunch meal will be served family-style, and large platters of food will be brought to each table so guests can then fill their plates with whatever of the following menu items they desire. Brunch will start off with a variety of baked treats, like maple bread, banana muffins, blueberry scones and croissants to go with tea or coffee. For the main event, guests will have plenty of options, from frittatas with caramelized onions, sun dried tomatoes and feta cheese to bacon-stuffed French toast or miniature ham and cheese croque monsieurs. Also available will be a mixed greens and kale salad tossed with candied tomatoes, artichokes and cipollini onions with a pomegranate dressing

vices, located at 99 Bruce Cres. CPCC board members also have tickets available. Visit www.cpcanoeclub.com for contact information. New this year was an early bird prize, which was drawn March 1. The winner received tickets to an Ottawa Senators hockey game. There is still plenty of time to purchase your ducks for this weekend’s derby, and then come cheer them on down the Mississippi River.

Council decides Carleton Place community pool building will get new roof tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – The following are issues discussed by Carleton Place Council during its regular and policy review committee meetings, held April 22. Snetsinger Consultants Ltd. has been given the green light by the town to carry out a roof investigation of the Carleton Place Aquatic Centre (pool) and to prepare a design and tender for replacement. The proposed fee is $11,545 (plus HST), which includes the administration of the pool roof replacement initiative. Although the project is not a budgeted item, it will be funded by way of the pool major maintenance reserve. The Carleton Place Aquatic Centre’s roof has been mended more than a few times; however, it can no longer be patched. It is the original roof and there are ongoing issues. Labour will be completed in four phases, and Snetsinger Consultants Ltd. has completed work for the municipality before. “The town was satisfied with the work,” manager of recreation and culture Joanne Henderson noted in a written report to council, “and they also have experience with pool roofs.” “We don’t do flat roofs often,” chief administrative officer Paul Knowles said. “These guys have been recommended by the school board.” To make sure the roof is repaired during the summer months – the annual pool shut down – a request for tenders will begin immediately. Resident Jim Collins sought clarification concerning the role of Snetsinger Consultants Ltd. “Are you asking them to investigate, design and put the tenders out?” he inquired. Back on Feb. 28 “staff already put the tenders out,” Collins said,

and “you got quotes in,” Collins continued. Deputy mayor Ed Sonnenburg told the Canadian Gazette “facilities staff had used a little initiative and went ahead and obtained a couple of quick prices to bring to the parks and recreation committee for consideration and discussion.” The quotes were as follows: McKay Sheet Metal and Roofing, $94,400 (plus HST), and Godfrey Roofing Inc., $108,985 (plus HST). Owing to the discussion at the parks and recreation committee meeting, Sonnenburg said a full and open contracting process was deemed necessary, “given the expected cost and complexity of the project.” “The item was brought forward,” he continued. “In other words, the contracting process was put on hold until a full and formal request for proposal (RFP) could be undertaken.” The original pricing was moot. “It is the policy of this council that contracting be open and competitive – fair for all companies,” Sonnenburg said. “This was recorded at a previous committee meeting,” Coun. Rob Probert noted. “I was just asking what the procedure was,” Collins said. “It’s just the limited knowledge the public gets.” The Carleton Place Aquatic Centre is located at 359 Bridge St. Radio frequency Once again the myFM issue was raised in council chambers. Prior to council accepting the policy review committee’s decisions from April 8, Coun. Louis Antonakos asked about two letters he requested be included with the minutes. “They are not with the minutes,” he said, “and I am wondering why that’s the case, or maybe it’s just my minutes.”

“The only thing that’s recorded is the decision, and the only action that was taken was what council voted on,” Knowles said. The two letters in question were authored by mayor Wendy LeBlanc on the subject of an application by My Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) to operate an English-language FM radio station in Carleton Place. LeBlanc sent a letter of support last August, and one month later she sent a second by way of email, and claimed a knee-jerk reaction. “They were presented in open session,” Antonakos said, “and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask that these letters be included with our minutes.” “This is town letterhead,” he continued. “They should be in the minutes, and I asked for it.” “Showing in our minutes here, the decision was made to receive and file,” LeBlanc said. It was actually an actionable item, Antonakos said, and “the second part was that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) be formally asked to reconsider its decision (denial) related to the myFM application.” “It’s not too late,” LeBlanc said. “They can be included.” The CAO said the letter asking the CRTC to reconsider its decision has been sent. “If you’d like a copy of it, all you need to do is ask,” Knowles said. Antonakos said it would be nice to see the letter. All aboard Curator Anne Shropshire provided council with a snapshot of the Smiths Falls Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario. “We are located in Smiths Falls, but we are a regional museum,” Shropshire said. The museum is housed in the railway station building, which was constructed in 1912 by Cana-

dian Northern Railway on its new Toronto-Ottawa line. “It was designated a National Historic Site in 1985,” Shropshire said. In 2013, the museum had 4,674 visitors, generated $15,154 in net revenue, received $17,270 by way of donations and saw $71,650 in grants. Twenty-five volunteers contributed a combined 10,000 hours of work.“I am not able to do my job without our volunteers,” the curator said. “They are incredible and valuable.” To run the museum the annual fixed costs are $32,554, not including wages for staff. Highlights of last year included the completion of the Smiths Falls Railway History Project, the approval for an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, an Ontario Motor Coach Association membership, and the hiring of an intern for a sixmonth period. “We will receive $68,000 over two years from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, and the focus of the grant is capacity building,” Shropshire said. The museum hopes to strengthen its governance, concentrate on volunteer recruitment and retention, as well as come up with new programs and initiatives. Furthermore, thanks to seed money, the museum is embarking on the creation of a miniature railway attraction as part of a new exhibit. “Too, we will be launching an online store and implementing a new fundraiser: a craft beer festival in June,” Shropshire said. This summer the Smiths Falls Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario hopes to begin developing group tours and packages utilizing Carleton Place assets. Shropshire noted her museum’s relationship with the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum and Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited (Eric Bjergso).

Communication has also been made with the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce. “Think of us as a local resource when it comes to railway history and heritage, whether it’s through exhibits, publications or research,” she said. Carleton Place politicians and members of the public were asked to consider taking a seat on the museum’s board. “We would love to have representation from Carleton place,” Shropshire said. She was joined at council by president Tony Humphrey. Summer indulgence Chip trucks are a summer treat that everyone enjoys. During the policy review committee meeting council carried a motion to amend Schedule C of bylaw 57-2013 to permit a chip wagon at 255 Franktown Rd. Operated by Debbie Moldowan, Mike’s Fries was previously located on College Street (near the post office).

EDITORIAL

Advance scorn for budget 2014 Editorial – Just charge it. That’s the attitude of many a trust fund baby working her way down the trendy stores of Sussex Drive or Rodeo Drive or whatever frou-frou thoroughfare she – or indeed, he – happens to call home. But Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne is no trust fund baby. Her money is not daddy’s and granddad’s money. It is our money. But she’s flashing the credit card anyway with today’s budget. Now, parliamentary protocol dictates that budget details are kept secret until budget day. There is a reason why the budget is usually delivered in the late afternoon, after the stock markets have closed for the day. Even at this, there are always no shortages of leaks.

Some of these are forgivable. A government doesn’t want to be caught with its pants down, and so, a trial balloon may be sent up prior to the budget to see how it will fly. If it comes crashing back down to Earth, the item is quietly deleted from the finance minister’s speech, and no one is the wiser and, better yet, a potential financial or political (or both) boondoggle is avoided. This week was no different, in terms of leaks, but we highly doubt that the numbers will be revised in a few short days to suddenly put Ontario back into the black, or even put it onto some credible path to fiscal sanity, once again. Yes, the bender continues at Queen’s Park. The Globe and Mail reported on Monday that the provincial deficit is set

to rise, for the second time in as many years, making it far, far less likely that the books will be balanced by 2017-18. This information was likely leaked to get the bad news out of the way now, before Charles Sousa is due to rise from his seat this afternoon and deliver the goods, so to speak. Just look what happened next door in Quebec. The former Parti Quebecois government promised balanced books by this year – and then, didn’t deliver, just one of a slew of broken promises in a cascade of incompetence that led to their defeat last month. Sound familiar? A similar fate could await the Ontario Liberals. The budget will likely include new spending, in a move to try to, basically, buy off the New Democrats. Reportedly, there is new spending slated for infrastructure like highways and subways (read, their Toronto base). New spending is always flashy and shiny, and looks good. But where is this money coming from? Someone has to pay. The province can’t or won’t pick up the bill for cancer patients who need life saving medication, but they can afford to buy off early childhood educators

with a wage hike. NDP leader Andrea Horwath cannot allow this sick charade to continue. But then, for the Liberals, sure, what’s another billion or so to buy votes in the Greater Toronto Area? At least they’re being more upfront about it now. Coupled with rising energy costs like hydro and gas, rumoured tinkering with pensions that could add significant costs to Ontario businesses, all while adding unsustainable debt to our books, does not make the Liberals good economic stewards. Even Transportation Minister Glen Murray, quoted in the National Post this week, said that “our recovery remains fragile.” We also saw that interesting sight of former finance minister Dwight Duncan returning to the scene to state the obvious. “Ontario is faced with a staggering debt,” Duncan said. If he, who helped get us to this precipice, is saying this (while also advocating contracting out government services to save money), and he, an Ontario Liberal, can see this, why can’t Wynne and Sousa? Let’s just hope Horwath can see this budget for what it is, and pulls the plug for us.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Wynne, Hudak and Hillier have same energy policy Editor’s note: The following letter is in response to the hydro rate protest story which ran in our April 10 issue. DEAR EDITOR: I attended the hydro rate protest in Carleton Place and the concern about higher electricity prices is very understandable. However, the protesters did not realize that Kathleen Wynne and Tim Hudak have essentially the same energy policy and our hydro rates will be the same no matter who is in power. Both the Liberals and the Conservatives will be relying on nuclear power to supply up to 60 per cent of Ontario’s electricity while solar and wind energy will only supply up to 10 per cent under the Liberals. Niagara Falls and other hydro producers will supply the rest. The cost of nuclear energy has been going up while renewable energy is going down so that renewable energy is now cheaper than new or refurbished nuclear. It is true that when solar panels were first installed under the Green Ener-

gy Act they were expensive. However, because many countries, especially China and India, are installing solar panels on a large scale, the price of solar panels has dropped dramatically. Wind power is also expected to go down in price but wind producers in Ontario are only getting approximately 14 cents a kilowatt hour so it is already reasonably priced. Since both major parties are committed to going with nuclear to provide the bulk of our electricity, energy prices will be going up no matter what Mr. Hudak or Mr. Hillier say. Mr. Hillier has shown in the past that he doesn’t always follow the party line. If he did a little research, he might find that he might be serving his rural constituents better by allowing them to have an income from solar panels and wind mills on their properties and the rest of us would benefit from lower energy prices.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Reader takes offence to ‘gross discrimination’ in smoking column Editor’s note: The following is a letter in response to Tara Gesner’s column ‘Honk if they toss a cigarette butt’ which appeared in the April 3 issue of the Canadian Gazette. DEAR EDITOR: Well, I’m not quite sure how to approach this one? Once again we have been hit with gross discrimination. Those of us who smoke have once again been singled out with that “disgusting” label. Who the heck does this Tara Gesner think she is? She has the gall to segregate those of us in society who take part in something that’s totally legal in this country, smoking. I can understand if she reported on littering, but this is carrying things a bit too far. The smoking issue has been beaten

to death. We surrender! People like Ms. Gesner have made sure that we (those who smoke), no longer have a place in society. You have made sure that we no longer have a social life. No more mingling with friends at bars, in a restaurants, and yes, even in a public place like a park. Being a tax-paying, law-abiding, overall excellent citizen, I cannot sit by and let this lady condemn a whole segment of society to further her agenda. “We” are people! People with constitutional rights that have been slowly but surely taken away from us. Our crime? We smoke. As a reporter maybe you should look into this injustice. Fight for our rights. Always remember, the smoking issue has been fought by one group

only, municipal governments, the purest form of dictatorship. You will never hear or see the provincial or federal governments take a stand on making smoking illegal, it’s not in their best interest. The revenue it creates is phenomenal. Budgets are based on these revenues from cigarettes and alcohol. Check your statistics, the total annual hospital budget for Ontario is around $7 billion. Revenue from “sin tax” (this refers to tobacco and alcohol tax) exceeds $7 billion. Will they make tobacco and alcohol illegal? You bet they won’t. Smoking related illnesses in Ontario account for approximately $2 billion a year. Who’s using the other $5 billion? You can certainly tell that this

issue strikes a chord with me and with a lot of other smokers. We’re not stupid people when it comes to smoking, but it’s the continual labelling and discrimination that irks us. This will make you proud. Nowadays it seems we can only light up in the confines of our own homes or the confines of our own property. Cigarette smoking has been around since the beginning of time, is it good? I’m not saying it is. Is it legal? Sure is. Remember prohibition? Humanity as a whole cannot be made a utopia. Utopias are found in the midwest or on private farms where tree-hugging runs rampant. This is where you might find it more comfortable.

In closing, Ms. Gesner should learn to lighten up. Making an issue about a cigarette butt is a waste of editorial paper. It’s the smoker you’re after, not the butt. It may come as a surprise but I look forward to Earth Day. Yes, even smokers care about their environment. You know, the big stuff like air pollution, the ozone layer, pure water to drink, etc. I ask you to urge the Carleton Place BIA to put out butt containers along the downtown routes, tasteful ones. We will use them. We can’t use a trash bin. It could start a fire and then we’ll be blamed for that. Elvis Hemeon Carleton Place

Reader asks for more investigative reporting DEAR EDITOR: Kudos to Melissa Rusk who wrote the letter to the editor in the April 17 edition of the Carleton Place-Almonte Canadian Gazette regarding the lack of coverage of municipal government affairs in Carleton Place. However, I was taken aback by the editor’s note stating that “due to Tuesday deadlines each week, council meetings in Carleton Place are held after the paper goes to press, so council news is always published the following week.” This statement is not exactly correct. There have been many issues discussed at council meetings that have appeared on the Carleton Place website and yet these issues have never appeared in the Canadian Gazette. Issues that I would think would be of interest to most journalists and their readers. Journalism for local weekly

newspapers I believe is about keeping the general public informed of the various happenings within their community. Not just reporting some items that take place at weekly council meetings and not others. Good investigative journalism I believe is all about reporting events as they happen, seeking out stories from such events, obtaining behind the scenes information from everyone involved, and then reporting that story in an unbiased manner. This is not what has been happening in Carleton Place. There have been many situations that have arisen over the past year in regards to possible economic development (or lack thereof) taking place in our town where there would be great stories and followup stories to be reported in the Canadian Gazette. These stories would be sought as follow-

up to town council or committee meetings through some good investigative reporting that I am sure most citizens would be interested in. But again, very few stories or follow-up stories are being printed and ones that are, are somewhat slanted containing views from only a chosen few. Your editorial in last week’s issue was concerning the fiasco that has taken place at council regarding the possibility of acquiring a radio station for the Town of Carleton Place. Hopefully the CRTC will reconsider the application now that the majority of council support such a station. This would then give us another voice in our town in regards to the issues being discussed by our elected officials as well as other matters of interest within our community.

Carleton Place branch of Bayshore Home Health joins Hike for Hospice this Sunday liative Care. \ The hike, which is happening in more than 100 communities, is organized by the Canadian Hospice Palliative Care Association and marks the start of National Hospice Palliative Care Week. This year our Carleton Place branch is excited to be hiking for the Hub Hospice (www. hubhospice.com) and the good news is that all funds raised at this year’s Hike will go directly to supporting the Hub Hospice, in our community. The Hub Hospice’s mission is to provide compassion-

ate palliative care by trained volunteers to clients and their families in their home at a most critical time. They started providing these services in September of 2013 to families in Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place and North Lanark and if you or someone you know could benefit from this they can be easily accessed by a phone call to their coordinator at 613-406-7020. We would love to have you join us at the Mill of Kintail on Sunday, May 4 from 2 to 4 p.m. Bring your kids, your grandkids, your dogs (on a leash)

and enjoy a beautiful walk or hike, whichever you prefer. Hikers aim to raise funds and awareness for hospice palliative care at the community level, as well as recognizing the vital contribution of volunteers and professionals in the field. Last year’s Hike for Hospice Palliative Care attracted the largest ever number of participants, raising more than $1.7 million. Bayshore, which has been a national founding sponsor since 2006, and its staff contributed $165,000. “As active members of the

community, Bayshore nurses and caregivers understand how important it is to raise money to expand access to local palliative hospice care services,� says Lori Lachance, area director for Bayshore Home Health’s Carleton Place office. “We cannot think of a better way to show our support than by working in unison with our friends and family.� Hospice palliative care programs allow patients to gain more control over their lives, manage pain and symptoms more effectively and provide support to family and

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think about, But so hard to be without. Too dearly loved to ever be forgotten, by his loving wife Dolly and family

“I think probably the time is right for me and my family more than anything else,” he said of his decision to retire. “I have the same keenness for work that I always did because I really do like my job. But I don’t have the same energy that I had 20 years ago.” MacLaren says what he is most proud of in his 16 years of service to the UCDSB was his role in the construction and equipping of a dozen schools, including our newest secondary schools – Russell High School, Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, Vankleek Hill Collegiate Institute, and North Grenville District High School. His role has been in preparing tender documents, purchasing land, equipping the schools with desks, SMART boards, chairs and other necessary items, as well as the sale of surplus schools. “I can’t say that I enjoyed any one project over the other, they were all great,” said MacLaren, a certified supply chain management professional. “It was always fun to see one finished, to see it glowing shiny and new, and to think how great it was for kids to go in there to learn.” MacLaren says he enjoyed working with a board that focusses its work through strategic planning. “I think the board’s strategic plan is excellent,” he said. “Why I say that is that it doesn’t matter what you do in this organization, everybody can connect to a 90 per cent graduation rate. We are here as a department to support kids in the classrooms by supporting our schools and our teachers so they can carry out their jobs.” MacLaren oversaw the purchasing team during a time of a major AUCTIONS

program change – the introduction of full-time kindergarten. Over the past five years his team has equipped full-time classes at all of our elementary schools – purchasing a range of items including: children’s sand and water tables, new blackboards, Smart boards, iPads, cubbies, and child-safe coat hooks. The task has been a challenge at times with “many balls in the air.” MacLaren credits a solid purchasing team for helping him be successful. “I’ve always been blessed with very good staff,” he said. In fact, MacLaren says it is the people at the board he will miss most. “I have had the opportunity to work with some of the brightest, most hard-working people I have ever met. A lot of hard work goes on in this place in support of kids that people really don’t see.” The 59-year-old says he has nothing major planned for his retirement. He just wants to spend more time with family – something he has always considered important during his 39-year marriage to wife Chris. He also wants to while away the days boating from his home on Otty Lake, watching his beloved Montreal Canadiens on Saturday nights, and teeing off on area golf courses. When he says goodbye in June, MacLaren says he will have no regrets. “I’m a very fortunate person,” he reflects. “I get up every morning and I really enjoy coming in to work. A lot of people are in jobs where they just can’t say that.” Current assistant manager of purchasing, Brad Notman, has been promoted to replace MacLaren.

Community – Looking for a way to get involved in your community and help support local programs? Then the Mississippi Mills Volunteer Fair is the event for you. “The Volunteer Fair is a great way for residents to come out and find a way to contribute to their community if they want to,� said Tiffany MacLaren, the town’s community economic and cultural co-ordinator. “Chances are there will be a good match for everyone who wants to donate some of their time to something that is important to them.� Organized this year by the Town of Mississippi Mills and Mills Community Support, the event will be held on Saturday, May 14 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Almonte Old Town Hall. The idea behind the event is to match local organizations looking for volunteers with the residents who are ready to donate their time. “There are several organizations in Mississippi Mills who rely on volunteers to make things work,� MacLaren said, “and at the same

time I think we have a lot of generous people who are willing to donate their time to help out. The fair is really a way to connect these two groups of people.� Whether you’re a volunteer looking for a regular gig with a lot of opportunities to help out year-round, or someone who’s looking to help out with their favourite festival for one weekend, MacLaren says that there will be something for everyone at the event. Local organizations like Celtfest, Puppets Up!, the Almonte Soccer Club, both the Pakenham and Almonte Horticultural Societies, Mills Community Support and the Almonte General Hospital are just some of the groups who have already booked tables for the event and will be there to collect volunteers. “There are so many reasons to volunteer,� MacLaren said. “It’s also a great way to meet people with similar interests and it can be a great social activity.� MacLaren also said that she encourages everyone, long-time residents or those who are new to Mississippi Mills, to come out and see what sorts of things they could be

Canadians face stiff competition in bid for Fred Page Cup title By STAFF

Sports – They’ve proven to be the best of the Central Canada Hockey League. Now the Carleton Place Canadians will stake their claim to all of eastern Canada at this week’s Fred Page Cup championship. The 20th edition of the tournament began yesterday (Wednesday, April 30) and wraps up Sunday, May 4 at Saint Jerome, Que. The winner advances to the national championship tournament, the RBC Cup, May 10 to 18 in Vernon, British Columbia. Two of the Canadians’ opponents hail from la Belle Province. The Granby Inouk are the champions of the Quebec

Jr. A league (Ligue de Hockey AAA du Québec). After falling behind in the best-of-seven final 3-1, the Inouk fought back and won the last three games, including a 6-0 shutout in the series clincher at home on Saturday, to knock off the Sherbrooke Cougars. The Inouk finished first in their division during the regular season with a record of 39-110-2 for 80 points. The other two teams in the championship are the host St. Jerome Panthers and the Truro Bearcats, champions of the Maritime Hockey League (MHL). Bearcats, the regular season champions, captured the MHL title by knocking off the Dieppe

Commandos four games to two in their best-of-seven final. Bearcats are no stranger to the tournament having won the Fred Page Cup a year ago on home ice. St. Jerome is not a typical host team. They were the class of the Quebec league during the regular season, posting a record of 42-7-2-1 for 87 points. They were upset by Sherbrooke in the semifinals 4-3. The Canadians were the dominant team of the Central Canada Hockey League. Their season to remember included a number of league team records set during the regular season including most points (110) and wins (54). They only lost six games in regulation in the

62-game season. After sweeping the Kemptville 73’s in the first round of the playoffs, they were thrown a big scare by the Pembroke Lumber Kings in the semis who held a 3-2 series lead. An overtime win in Game 6 in Pembroke and a solid win at home in Game 7 secured the series victory for Carleton Place though. In the finals, they took the Smiths Falls Bears

Canadians stay close to home with first draft pick By STAFF

Sports – The Carleton Place Canadians may still be involved in playoff action but they took several steps toward solidifying their future Monday night in Ottawa, making eight selections in the Central Canada Hockey League draft. Having ended the regular season with the best record among the 12 CCHL clubs, the Canadians picked last in the first round. With that 12th overall selection, they stayed close to home, choosing Ryan Shaw, a 6-1, 148-lb. centre

from the Ottawa Valley Titans. The 15-year-old midget player hails from Carleton Place. Fifteen-year-old Liam Markhauser of Kanata was the club’s second pick (24th overall). The 5-10, 150-lb. forward played with the Ottawa Senators minor midgets this past season. The following are the team’s remaining picks: • Jackson Atkinson (36th overall), 17, 6-3, 198-lb defenceman, OHA Maroon Mavericks • Michael Leach (53rd over-

Carleton Place Cyclones teams bring home medals from prestigious tournament Sports – On Easter weekend, the Carleton Place Cyclones Novice DS and Atom House teams brought home medals from the world’s largest female hockey tournament, the 47th annual Brampton Canadettes Easter Tournament, in Brampton, Ontario. Competing in the DS division of the tournament, was a huge accomplishment for both of our teams. All the other teams competing pooled their top 19 players from their house teams to play. The Carleton Place novice team played with girls from both of their notice teams and the atom team played with their only house team. Our Novice DS girls winning the gold, competed against 23 other teams in their division, beating the likes of North York, Burlington, Etobicoke and Whitby. In a nailbiting semi-final against Toronto Leaside, the novice girls fought through the five-minute overtime, and finally won the game in a shoot out to advance to the finals. In their final game the girls worked hard and battled against the defending champions (Cornwall Typhoons) to win 3-0. The Atom House team comprised of only 11 players won the silver medal as they competed in the DS division of the tournament. After a long season of being bumped from house to competitive these girls found their niche in DS. They had been considered

an underdog by most of the other 21 teams in their division because of our team size and their house status. But our girls showed that their hard work in both on and off ice practices, allowed them to compete against these larger teams made of 19 players. Battling through six games to make it to the finals. Our girls played a well-matched game against Whitby with chance for both sides. In the end, Whitby came out on top winning 1-0. This weekend is a huge accomplishment for both the novice and atom Cyclone girls. These girls showed what dedication, teamwork and amazing coaching can do.

Above, the Carleton Place Cyclones had two teams put in great showings at the 47th annual Brampton Canadettes Easter Tournament over the Easter weekend in Brampton. Known as the world’s largest female hockey tournament, the Carleton Place Cyclones Novice DS team, above, came home with gold. Players on the team include: Hannah Trader; Emma Cassel; Emmerson Gormley; Bridgette Pringle; Amelia Scott; Findlay Weir; Meggie Grabe; Mya McKitrick; Darynn Johnson; Jaime Birrell; Charlotte Bittle; Serena Scott; Laurissa Hickey; Avery Cain; Jersey Trtik; Jaylan Melcher; Maddison Shaver; and Briann Bowes.

Walk away winter blues at World Labyrinth Day May 3 which is still relevant today. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth is designed as a single path. There are no deadends or tricks. The path on which you enter is the same path on which you exit. A walker is free to focus on a thought or a prayer, or to simply enjoy the energy of the walk itself. Many walkers find that the circular pattern holds them in a type of walking meditation long enough to let their problems and worries fall away. In a busy world, walking a labyrinth can provide an opportunity to foster connection, support healing, and promote well-being. Labyrinths exist in many forms, in places as diverse as Peru, Iceland, Egypt, France, and the United Kingdom. There are more than 4,000

labyrinth societies active today. Some labyrinths have been built on private lands, while others, like the Carleton Place Community Labyrinth, have been created as a public space for all to enjoy. If you are new to the labyrinth experience, this Saturday walk will be a perfect introduction for you. Information about the history, benefits and unique aspects of the labyrinth will be available onsite. The Carleton Place Community Labyrinth is located at the corner of George and Baines Streets, beside the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum. The labyrinth construction was made possible by the Town of Carleton Place, individual, business and community sponsors, and an Ontario

Land

Trillium Foundation grant. Ways to walk the path in 2014 • Weekly walks every Tuesday morning from 9 to 10 a.m. from June to September. A Labyrinth keeper is on site. • Thursday, June 19: Walk in Peace at 5:30 p.m. Bring along a picnic supper for the evening peace walk, enjoy the gardens, music and guest speaker. • Light Up the Labyrinth Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. For more information, contact Debby at 613-257-1014 or check out our blog: http://carletonplacecommunitylabyrinth.blogspot. com.

Local woman helping to reunite families with business By JESSICA CUNHA jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News – While growing up, Lori McGrath would walk down the street, wondering if the women she saw could be her biological mother. Born in Barrie, she was raised 20 minutes away in Brantford, Ont. by the couple that adopted her. When she reached adulthood, she decided to start searching for her birth mother. She entered a public library and 10 minutes later, walked away with her biological mother’s name. “Through finding my own birth mom in a matter of 10 minutes at a public library, I thought, well this is cool,” said McGrath. Now, 20 years later, she continues to help others find their biological parents and children through her business, Search Trace Locate. “I’ve been helping other adopted people find their birth parents through genealogy,” said McGrath, who lives and runs her business out of Arnprior. McGrath will be one of a number of “human books” available this weekend (May 3 and 4) at the Pakenham library. All five libraries in Larnark County – the Perth Union Library, Smiths Falls Library, Carleton Place Library, Mississippi Mills Library (both Almonte and Pakenham branches) and Lanark Highlands Library – will take part in the event. People will have the opportunity to check out a human book and learn about that person’s life. McGrath will be at the Pakenham library on Saturday, May 3. McGrath estimates she’s helped

more than 3,000 people reunite with biological relatives, including her husband Sean. Finding Sean’s family took much longer than Lori’s – 10 years before they were able to track down his birth mother through the Children’s Aid Society in Newfoundland. “We had to find out if we were related at all. That’s a scary thought,” said Lori. “It’s a scary thought going out into the world and all these secrets were kept. You never know if you’re dating your brother or sister or cousin or whatever. It makes it very tough. “Luckily we weren’t related.” Mother-son reunion Holly Francis was reunited with her son almost a year ago. She saw Lori at a community event and stopped by her booth. “I was curious about what she did and what the chances were of me finding him,” said Francis, who lives in Carleton Place. She had previously contacted the Children’s Aid Society and left her contact information there in the event her son looked for her. “I gave her the info that I had, and she went with that,” said Francis. It turned out her son was located in Ottawa, in the west end where Francis grew up. Mother and son sent letters back and forth, spoke on the phone, and then set up an in person meet. “We finally got together,” said Francis. “For me, (it was) kind of unreal and wonderful.

talk about him. After her mother passed away, she decided to begin looking for her father. “I have always been wondering forever,” said Renauld, who lives in Pembroke. “Whatever happened to my father?” She ran across Lori at a craft show in Arnprior. They began talking about their experiences. “I gave her all the information I knew, which wasn’t a lot,” said Renauld. “Within three days she had my answers for me.” Lori found Renauld’s father, who had passed away and was buried in the United States. He had remarried and had other children. Through the connection, Renauld found four half brothers and a half sister. “We don’t see each other but I chat with one of them on Facebook. It was odd his reaction at first when I told him I was looking for our dad. His reaction at first was, ‘Why would you bother? He never did anything for us,’” said Renauld. “For me it was a closure thing. If he was living I probably wouldn’t have gone to meet him. It was more about learning his lifestyle. Lori was able to provide that closure for me.”

She had never said. “I’ve also had it where adoptmet her father and her mother didn’t ees who said ‘I like my life the way

it is now, I don’t want to know this woman.’” Only four provinces in Canada – Ontario, Newfoundland, Alberta and British Columbia – have open legislation when it comes to looking for biological children or mothers. Birth fathers, because they are often left off the birth certificate, have a harder time, said Lori. “Birth fathers got the biggest shaft of all as far as I’m concerned,” she said. “It’s much harder for the birth father to prove he’s the actual father, unless the child is found.” Siblings of adopted children also have no recourse if the birth mother is dead, she said. Lori uses a mix of systems to help locate the people she’s asked to find, such as online genealogy tools and social media sites, libraries, funeral homes, cemeteries, phone directories and national archives. “Anything I can get my hands on that has genealogy attached to it, I try to read it,” she said. And though it can be difficult, the successful cases far outweigh the negative ones. “For me, it’s the drive of wanting every person who wants that answer, where do I come from?” said Lori. “The feeling when somebody comes back and says, ‘I just spoke to so and so for the first time, how can I think you?’ I go, you just did.” For more information, visit searchtracelocate.com, email searchtracelocate@gmail.com or call 613-778-8225.

The EpLink program is a “virtual” team of researchers throughout Ontario who are teaming together to make significant improvements in the clinical

epilepsy care in Ontario. March was Epilepsy Awareness Month and Purple Day was observed on March 26.

success this year at Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor (AGH-FVM) with more than 40 staff joining in to support the day of awareness, March 26. Three judges this year – including lawyer Hunter Graves, mortgage broker Jeannie Mongrain, and real estate agent Lynn Vardy – had lots of laughter choosing who was the most creative in dressing in purple. This year the top two winners were Cathy O’Connell and Mary Sonnenburg. The judges suggested that the entire team at AGH-FVM were amazing and a great team of supporters. Ultimately, it is together that we are going to change the stigma for epilepsy. AGH-FVM has been raising money since March 1 through candy sales and a bake sale – the numbers are not finalized as of yet. There was also great support this year from the Carleton Place Civitan Club with them choosing epilepsy as their charity in February – they presented a cheque for $650. It was a

Community – Many came out for Purple Day festivities at Shoppers Drug Mart in Carleton Place on Saturday, March 22. The fourth annual Bake Sale and Makeover Day for epilepsy awareness and research was a huge success despite the weather that led to a slow morning. By afternoon we were busy and had a number of people talking about how they have come every year to be part of the event and support epilepsy. This year, $1,750 was raised at Shoppers Drug mart with the awesome support of Brenda Mattey (the cosmetics manager) doing makeovers, and Arissa from Platinum Black doing nails. Along with that, lots of fun was had with Ronski the clown joining in the fun. He brought kisses (yes – kisses – he offered lip-shaped stickers) to everyone! The bake sale was pretty much a sell out again this year! Organizers were very fortunate to have Jack FM’s Wayne Cavanagh join us live again this year as well. Purple Day was a great

Parents: How to make your kids as happy as Pharrell Williams By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Can a horse work better than Prozac? It may not be a substitute for any necessary medication, but Mary Lou Macfarlane-File, founder of Fawg Forest Therapeutic Farm in Mountain, feels that the horse can be a big part of a person’s road to wellness. “As soon as they (the patient), calms down, the horse calms down,” said Macfarlane-File, during a speech at The Stewart School in Perth on Wednesday, April 16. “A lot of young people will calm themselves down for the horse before they do it for themselves.” Macfarlane-File worked at the Royal Ottawa Hospital for about 28 years, but after nearly three decades in such an environment, “I wanted to do something different,” she said, in a “non-traditional environment.” Fawg Forest, a therapeutic farm that she describes as “a mental health clinic, on a farm, a counselling clinic on a 100-acre farm. It is out of an office, it is really fun, we can walk around,” she said during her talk, entitled: “Happiness and Mental Health: Health Essentials for Parents.” “For a long time, what I did was considered alternative therapy,” said Macfarlane-File. “Really, it is not. I just removed the office.” An award from the Canadian Mental Health Association, however, gave her the imprimatur of respectability of which she knew her farm was worthy. “You cannot be a horse trainer and

just do therapy,” she cautioned. “It is a method. It is not a treatment.” It is a means to an end. “We are not a riding facility, as such,” said Macfarlane-File. “(Though) I love teaching little kids to ride.” By taking therapy outside of a sterile, medical setting, she feels she is encouraging “pro-social relations,” relations which extend to animals, too. “We may go out and do chores, feed animals, but all the while, we are talking,” she said. One lesson that the patients learn right away is that, with animals, “the more you give, the more you receive.” Because there is still a bit of a stigma around mental illness, changing the venue also has another positive, intended consequence. “A lot of the time it is not, ‘Oh, I’m going to counselling,’” the patient will say. “It is ‘Oh, I am going to the farm!’” Failing young people Away from the farm, however, Macfarlane-File charged that society is failing its young people. “I think we have missed the boat on mental health,” she said. “We focus on the end results of mental health… If our youth are struggling and not feeling healthy, it affects (their) ability to function.” She added: “We need to talk about health and not illness.” While we may not be able to control our environments, parents can go a long way towards being good role models for their children. As Dr. Phil once said, children may

not listen to everything their parents say, but they see everything they do. “When you are handling your stress well, your children learn from that example,” Macfarlane-File said. “It is OK to struggle,” she added, but you need to demonstrate to your children that you can adapt and change and find solutions. “Are you being what you would like your children to be?” she asked. “Always start from a child’s perspective. How do they feel…We may think we are hiding our stress well, but our children feed off it.” Sometimes, your child may need more help than you can give him or her and outside help may need to be brought in, at the point where “what you are doing doesn’t seem to be working any more. That does not mean that you are a bad parent.” But there is also a difference in how mothers and fathers deal with the stresses of parenting. “Moms, we tend to feel guilty about everything,” said Macfarlane-File. “We have to let that go if we want to coach.” Both mothers and fathers though can also help more than hurt – even when they think they are helping. “We, as loving and protective parents, are too quick to jump in and intervene,” she said. “A lot of times, our kids do not want us to intervene… we need to stand back from our instinct to protect.” Also, some things we take as being bad in parenting might actually be good signs – even if it does not seem like it

at the time. Macfarlane-File pointed to research done by Nancy Darling at Pennsylvania State University, which found that teens who lied less to their parents, tended to argue more with their parents. “Arguing was a way of working out arguments, and telling truth to parents,” said Macfarlane-File. Teenagers are also more reactive. “If you have a teenage girl, you know about the drama.” Because of the instant nature of texting, for example, modern teens face even more opportunities than before for getting their emotions ratcheted up to a fever pitch. If a teen receives a nasty text message, “I (as a teen) send back an equally nasty text,” in retribution. “Because I haven’t stood back and thought about it, it usually means World War III.” She advocates letting teenagers run themselves dry. “Let them be extreme until empty,” said Macfarlane-File. Just say, “Wow,” or “Really,” periodically, to let them know you are still listening. “Very often, they will come up with their own answers. A lot of the time, they already know.” Parents often try to defuse the situation at the start: “We tell them because we want to cut out the drama and cut to the chase.” Another thing that parents can do is put down the iPhone in the evening. Even if answering that text message from your boss after dinner is going to save you having to take care of it tomorrow morning at the office, by doing that, “I rob myself of my kid time.”

That interaction time, “is lost in texting and emailing.” She advised creating electronic-free zones and times. Macfarlane-File provocatively pointed to the anti-bullying campaigns which have sprouted up in recent years at schools across the country like wildflowers. While they come from a good place, she fears that they are misguided. “We have anti-suicidal campaigns in school. We have anti-bullying campaigns in school,” she said. “I don’t think they work. If we built pro-social skills, we wouldn’t have bullying…I think that there is a place for anti-bullying,” but it does not address the cause, only the symptom. But she acknowledged that schools do need to be a part of the solution. Churches used to be repositories for morality and good behaviour to be imparted on Sunday morning. But now, “church attendance is at the lowest level it has ever been… Now, it has to be at the school.” Something that can prove helpful for all people who are contending with mental health problems, be they parents or children, are things as simple and universal as gratitude, charity, and peace. “Acts of kindness lift our spirits. Trusting others lifts our spirits,” she said. “If you are feeling really bad, go and do something for someone else.” As for mindfulness, “it is the ability to quiet the mind. You don’t think about the past, you don’t think about what is next, you are just in the moment. Just be mindful of the moment.”

Your Body Type &

Cravings

Key!

When your body is out of balance, your cravings are about your body trying to provide stimulation for the dominant organ which is related to your body type. So what can you do? If you crave: 1. SWEETS & CARBS - your dominant body type is THRYOID Your Solution: Reduce soy and raw cruciferous veggies ( kale, cabbage, broccoli, etc. ). Increase Coconut oil, which contains lauric acid, to promote optimal thyroid function and metabolism.

2. SALT & FAT - your dominant body type is ADRENAL Your Solution: Reduce caffeine & alcohol. Increase almonds which are rich in magnesium.

3. RICH & SPICY - your

wine and increase lemons to help balance hormones.

4. DAIRY - your dominant body type is PITUITARY. Your Solution: Decrease potassium rich avocado, which tends to be reduced in this body

Preparation Time: 10 min | Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1 cup Coconut water helps to infuse the body with energy boosting electrolytes, while the coconut oil stimulates your metabolism. Perfect for that hot summer day or after a workout. 1 very ripe banana, frozen ½ cup pineapple, diced plus 1 wedge for garnish 2 cups ice cubes

If you are consistent, you will make progress. One way to ensure your consistency is to make simple, highly achievable goals for yourself. You must ensure that you are 90-100% confident that you can stick to the goal for 30 days. If you feel any less confident, you must modify and simplify the goal until you feel it is achievable. For instance, instead of saying “I will cut sugar completely out of my diet”, which may be unrealistic, say “I will only have sugar on the weekends.” Therefore, you are still making a healthy lifestyle change, but one that is easily attainable. Reaching a short term goal and then setting new ones is key to long term success!

St. John Ambulance volunteers celebrate with dinner, honours and awards By DOREEN BARNES

News – Guest speaker at the St. John Ambulance Annual General Meeting and awards night was vice chair of community duty for St. John Ontario Council, Armand LaBarge. “One of the reasons, we are gathered here this evening is to honour the countless hours, days, weeks and years that the people in the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Branch of St. John Ambulance have selflessly contributed to make this community and other counties in the United Counties and Lanark, a safer place to live and to raise a family,” said LaBarge. Each spring, the local St. John Ambulance Branch recognizes the dedication and volunteerism of their members by presenting certificates, trophies and awards. Among these awards is the prestigious Major C.B.C. Broadbent Award, given to the individual who most embodies the organization’s core purpose. “She has always been a very dedicated member of St. John Ambulance,” said chief of community service, Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Branch of St. John Ambulance, Bud Eyre. “Besides her dedication to St. John Ambulance, she works as a community nurse and always has a smile for everyone. She exemplifies what a St. John member should be. She’s eager to learn, eager to help and eager to please. This year’s winner is Vera Dulysh.” Dulysh is a Kingston resident who travels back and forth to attend meetings and to perform her duties. Other members in the adult cat-

egory received certificates, awards and trophies for service duty hours, most duty hours, best new member and the Col. W. S. Watson Award. Car seat technicians with the St. John Ambulance’s Child Car Seat Clinic were acknowledged for their tireless work. A key announcement with re-

gards to the Child Car Seat Clinic was the new partnership with Brockville’s Canadian Tire. With this support, the Child Car Seat Clinic will be held at the Canadian Tire location. Moving onto the youth, one by one they were recognized with certificates, proficiency badges, spe-

cial service shield, the most duty hours, the Dame Lloyd Award and the Bud and Kim Eyre Award. In addition to honouring the people on the St. John Ambulance brigade, Sophie, a four-legged volunteer and her handler Alison Robb received a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of the fine

work this pair did and do, as part of the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog program. Sophie is well known at Sherwood Park Manor and the two BACLA (Brockville and Area Community Living Association) homes in Mallorytown and according to Robb, looks forward to her visits. In LaBarge’s speech, he noted that for over a century St. John volunteers have been dedicated to the vision of helping Canadians to improve their health, their safety, their quality of life by providing services and first aid training. “While the financial contributions of St. John community services volunteers could be calculated in the millions of dollars, I think the contribution that we make in the safety of Canadians is not measurable,” said LaBarge. “When you take into account 13 million Canadians devote almost three billion hours to their volunteer activities; that’s the equivalent of 1.1 million full-time jobs here in Canada.” He continued to say that the 13 million included the 52 SJA volunteers at the local branch who contributed about 17,000 hours of volunteer service to the community. In Ontario alone, 5,000 volunteers covered more than 4,500 public events which represent more than 240,000 medical personnel response volunteer hours. This didn’t include the therapy dog program, the youth training, car seat and other services. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Branch of St. John Ambulance is on duty at various events throughout the region which is a vital service to local communities.

GET ALL MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY INVOLVED IN YOUR CHARITABLE GIVING the perfect amount to leave children is enough “money so that they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they could do nothing. ” One of the most challenging estate planning questions that parents have to wrestle with is how much of their estate should they leave to their children. As Warren Buffet once famously remarked,

Once parents have provided an appropriate amount of financial support to their children, they are often motivated to give back to the community. An increasing number of Canadian families are establishing family foundations in order to encourage all family members to get involved in the family’s charitable giving.

A private foundation is particularly well-suited to a family situation. Family members can be directors or trustees of the foundation and play an active role in deciding how funds will be managed and what charities will be supported by the foundation. Families find that the foundation keeps the family connected and parents can pass along their beliefs and values to children and grandchildren.

Sometimes it’s a tough road to tow for roadside assistance Lifestyle – A local reader wrote in recently to outline some difficulties he had this past winter with a roadside assistance provider. On a particularly cold day in early December, he called the Volkswagen Canada roadside assistance office to report his still-under-warranty VW wouldn’t start in his driveway. They contacted their service provider, CAA, who dispatched a local truck. Our VW owner was surprised to learn that the tow truck wasn’t equipped with booster cables, and was only prepared to tow the vehicle to the nearest VW dealership. While the VW was being loaded on the flat/tilt bed truck, our owner reports he warned the tow operator that the front bumper cover was coming close to being struck on the bed of the truck. The driver ignored his comment and the bumper did scrape on the platform causing some damage. At this time the tow operator presented a damage waiver for the VW owner to sign. He naturally refused and the vehicle was deposited back into his driveway. The vehicle was eventually started and our owner took the vehicle soon after to a body shop to repair the damage at a cost of $180. When he presented this invoice to the towing company’s office looking for reimbursement, they refused, telling him to take the matter up with his own liability insurance. He figured the only recourse left was to seek a judgment through the Small Claims Court and as he was filling out the paperwork, he decided to report all this to VW Canada. VW Canada did an investigation and determined our owner merited reimbursement and sent him a cheque for the full amount. He was happy with that side of the story, but wonders what might have happened if he was stranded on a lonely highway in a blizzard. He also questioned the ethics of asking for a

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER damage waiver to be signed after his car was damaged. I forwarded his email to me (with his permission) to both the towing company and VW Canada and asked for their response. The towing company provided a rather terse response indicating they had forwarded my inquiry to their lawyer and nothing further was heard from them. However VW Canada provided this response for the record: “Thank you for the opportunity to address this issue. I’m very sorry that this customer has had a negative experience, but am gratified that Volkswagen Canada was able to resolve the matter to his satisfaction. Our roadside assistance program is administered by a third party, and we expect the same level of service our customers do when dealing with us directly. I spoke with a representative there and here was the response, which I believe is quite excellent: The standard industry practice to request a customer’s signature on a waiver form is solely for purpose of confirming pre-existing damage prior to the vehicle being towed. Once the service has been rendered, it is too late for the service provider to request that the customer sign a damage waiver. Volkswagen Roadside Assistance has a process in place to

review and investigate any allegations made against service providers; and we endeavor to take corrective actions to guarantee complete customer satisfaction. Safety and security is number one priority when providing roadside assistance services to our customers. Any actions by a service provider that would preclude the customers’ safety would be dealt with accordingly. I think that we, from our end, have done a good job with this customer and hope that he has many happy years of motoring.” Thomas Tetzlaff, Volkswagen Canada It’s not very useful advice to simply say, deal with a service provider you know and trust in a situation like this. Few consumers ever develop a repeat customer relationship with a tow-truck operator and both groups seldom meet under the best circumstances. As well almost no stranded motorist knows in advance, which operator will be dispatched to his or her assistance. When making a call for roadside on a bitterly cold winter day, advise the operator whether or not your vehicle is on the side of the road or in the driveway at home. This will let them properly prioritize calls. If you suspect only a boost is required, ask if the truck can provide that service or if your vehicle must be towed. I wouldn’t sign any property damage waiver until I could first document the present condition of the property. Since most of us are tethered to a cell phone or at least have a camera, take photos to protect both yourself and the tow operator. If you run into a concern, take it up with the agency that you first communicated with. As our VW owner found out, the carmaker seemed to be more interested in his satisfaction

than the towing company. With stories like this it’s no surprise that the following action hasn’t been initiated before. The Ontario government recently announced new legislation on tow truck operators to regulate both them and car storage facilities. The proposed new rules would require tow truck operators and storage providers to: A) Have permission from a consumer or someone acting on behalf of the consumer before charging for towing and storage services. B) Publicly post prices and other information, like the operator’s name and contact information. C) Accept credit card payments from consumers. D) Provide an itemized invoice listing the services provided and the total cost. “We are strengthening consumer protection for drivers involved in traffic collisions or in need of roadside assistance. Drivers should have the confidence that the tow truck operator helping them is reputable and will treat them fairly,” Tracy McCharles, Ontario Minister of Consumer Services commented.

would have been 100 years old this year. As a rising comic magician in Atlanta, Ga., Mullica met Skelton in the early 1980’s. They began a lasting, personal relationship that included some valuable advice from veteran to protégé : clean up the language, avoid jokes built on negative racial stereotypes, and always perform as though there are children in the crowd. After Skelton’s death in 1997, Mullica penned a show in tribute to his good friend.

Skelton’s daughter Valentina saw the show for the first time last year. “I thought it was my dad on stage, but it was Tom. His mannerisms and gestures were just like my father’s” she said. “What a treat to see a true impressionist.” Tickets to the show are $45.00 plus tax. They are available at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre (1-888-6559090). Part of the proceeds from the show will go to the Kinsmen Club. For more information visit www. freedomhouse.ca.

eloved entertainer Red Skelton charmed audiences for decades with hilarious characters such as Clem Kadiddlehopper, the Mean Widdle Kid and Freddy the Freeloader. On May 7 at the Gallipeau Centre Theatre, tribute artist Tom Mullica will perform a one-man show bringing these and other characters to life. “Good Night and May God Bless: A Tribute to Red Skelton” aims to capture the gentle sweetness and improvisational genius of the late comedy legend, who

Let the sounds of spring be heard on Blueberry Mountain May 11 ing, The public will have an opportunity to experience some of these amazing sounds at this year’s Spring Nature Walk on Blueberry Mountain scheduled for Sunday, May 11. The theme for this event is Let Their Voices Be Heard and visitors will be offered a hands-on experience using the Soundscapes equipment and be introduced to this exciting way of relating to nature with Chad Clifford, bioacoustics technician. Howard Clifford will make a short presentation on the importance of listening to complement the nature experience. As Soundscapes pioneer Bernie Kraus has asserted, “A picture may be worth a thousand words but a natural soundscape is worth a thousand pictures.” The Spring Nature Walk on Blueberry Mountain is an annual fundraiser for the MMLTC which works to legally protect properties as nature reserves for future generations. This beautiful 1,250-acre wilderness property, called cliffLAND after the Clifford family who placed it under protection with the land trust in 2009, had more than 1,000 visitors last year. Blueberry Mountain lies on the highest

range in Lanark County and provides an incredible 180° vista from the lookout at its peak. It has been named by county residents as one of the Seven Wonders of Lanark County. Registration for the Spring Nature Walk begins at 9:30 a.m. on May 11 and the Soundscaping opportunities and the guided hike up the mountain starts at 10 a.m. sharp. A donation of $10 per person (children under 12 are free) will go towards maintenance of the land trust’s protected properties. It takes about 45 minutes to reach the mountaintop following a gentle slope, with only one short, steep climb at

the top. Certificates are awarded those 80 and over and to children who make the trek. Blueberry Mountain boasts a large membership in its kids’ clubs and also has a growing membership in its 80 plus club. Refreshments will be served following the hike. CliffLAND is located at 502 Hills of Peace Road in Flower Station and a map with directions may be downloaded at the MMLTC website at www.mmltc.ca. For more information, call the Clifford family at 613-259-3412. Submitted by the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy.

Community – One of the first sounds that heralds the coming of spring is the evocative honking of Canada Geese returning from their long migration. Long before we spot their arrival in the classic V-shaped formation, we hear their instantly recognizable calls. There has been much study into the hidden meanings and purpose of all this honking, and indeed of many animal sounds. The study of the sounds of animals, as well as the positive and negative effects of sound in their environments, is called bioacoustics. Bioacoustics is a relatively new branch of science which uses cutting-edge technology to record and analyze the sounds of wildlife. Thanks to a grant from the TD Friends of the Environment, the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy (MMLTC) has been able to purchase some of this equipment and software and to hire a bioacoustics technician to help launch a wildlife monitoring program on its protected properties. In addition to the monitoring, the Land Trust has purchased equipment to enhance the sounds of nature for individual listen-

CECC union says ministry taking pre-emptive action to prepare to lock out employees months ahead of contract talks scheduled for the October negotiation time, noting that he feels the ministry always stresses that staff are looking for increased wages. “It’s not about that, it’s about the safety of the public as a whole,” as well as that of staff members and inmates, he says. Health and safety issues, like understaffing, overcrowding - and the associated violence - as well as being equipped with the appropriate, effective safety gear rank at the top of issues employees want addressed during their contract negotiations, Butsch said. Butsch notes that while he has not received confirmation, there is a flurry of rumours circulating around the institution that the ministry also plans to spend more money to build a secondary entrance at the back of the jail to transport in managers and supplies in case of a labour disruption. But, he adds that if it comes to workers either being locked out or walking out, they will be picketing at any entrance used at the institution. Ultimately, Butsch says the ministry is sending the wrong message to staff by essentially indicating they aren’t even interested in taking part in fair negotiations.

“Morale is down because of that,” he says, noting that while the ministry’s move is discouraging for employees, it also serves to help unite them under a common cause. “Generally staff don’t

want to go out on strike, but we will if it’s an important issue to us,” he says. Contract negotiations are set to begin in October, with the contract to expire in December.

thing: the Ministry’s intent is to ‘draw a line in the sand’ and lock out correctional officers before it even knows what issues are on the bargaining table.” Another president from local 369 in Penetanguishene, Chris Jackel adds that when managers were brought in during strike action in 2002, their biggest complaint was poor living conditions, noting, “It seems as though the Government is doing something about it this time.” OPSEU president Warren Thomas agrees, saying that he would like to see the Ministry spending money on increasing the number of inmate beds and improving working conditions at jails across the province instead of wasted on such pre-emptive construction. “The cost of the managers’ strike accommodations is estimated to be over $500,000,” he said. “If they took that money and invested it in their front-line staff and facilities, it would go a long way in ensuring there weren’t any future labour disputes.” As the union representative for employees at CECC, Butsch says there is often misinformation about the main concerns at issue for the workers he represents within the jail, come contract

R0012679071_0501

News – The president for the local union representing employees at the Central East Correctional Centre (CECC) says the corrections ministry is jumping the gun and preparing for a strike – or lock-out – by building on-site accommodations for managers months before contract negotiations are even set to start. Local OPSEU 368 president Chris Butsch says construction for the management accommodations began at the CECC on April 2, adding that he has no doubt whatsoever about what the construction is for. “It was confirmed to me by administration here that that’s what it’s for,” he said in an interview on Monday (April 14). The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) announced in a press release issued on April 4 that similar construction is also being performed at other institutions in Ontario including Sudbury Jail, Central North Correctional Centre, Niagara Detention Centre, Algoma Treatment and Remand Centre, Monteith Correctional Centre, Thunder Bay Jail, Kenora Jail, HamiltonWentworth Detention Centre, OttawaCarleton Detention Centre, Maplehurst Correctional Centre and Vanier Centre for Women, and is also pending at many other Ontario institutions. “Many correctional facilities are constructing housing accommodations for the sole purpose of providing temporary living quarters for managers who would be required to stay at the facilities in the event of a labour dispute,” the press release states. From the ministry perspective, representative Andrew Morrison notes that while the provincial government values the work of those employed at correctional institutions and is “fully committed to the collective bargaining process” and coming to a fair settlement, there is still a risk of a labour disruption in any contract negotiation. “It would be irresponsible to put public safety at risk by failing to prepare for such an outcome,” he says. “In the event of a labour disruption the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services remains responsible for the health, safety and transportation of more than 8,000 inmates, as well as all of the managers and staff that would run the institutions 24 hours a day. The work being carried out at some of our correctional institutions will help the government ensure public safety.” However, according to Butsch, what really threatens public safety during a labour disruption is managers brought in from other provincial ministries who are not properly trained to run the jails. “They have no idea how to run this building and that to me is a threat to public safety,” he says. Butsch says the threat is even more prominent when the under-trained government managers are responsible for care, control and custody of inmates during their regularly-scheduled escorts into the community, like traveling to the hospital for appointments. He notes he finds it odd that the ministry position is that it would be irresponsible not to take pre-emptive action in case of a labour disruption, when they took no such action before or during previous contract negotiations.

Morrison adds that there are currently several projects ongoing at the local jail, including, “upgrades to the fire safety system/alarm, seasonal maintenance/site servicing/ HVAC upgrades, washroom upgrades and space optimization (e.g., programming or training).” But, he stopped short of including manager accommodations in the list of projects provided, and further requests for clarification and estimated costs and time lines for the construction were not answered. Morrison did say that work being done, “will also provide lasting improvements to institutions that will help us ensure the safety and security of both staff and inmates.” However the union reports the ministry is being “secretive” about the construction, adding the employer is “taking extreme measures to ensure that unionized staff are denied access to these areas.” “The current collective agreement is not due to expire until the end of December 2014,” says Dan Sidsworth, the elected representative for correctional members with the union. “This can only mean one

run, or fight, or both. Mind you the running and fighting is pretty cool. I liked David Bell. This film doesn’t really require any real acting but then Bell isn’t in it

for his acting skills. The man is truly gifted at what he does, and it’s very impressive on the big screen. The late Paul Walker was an actor who brought a charm and enthusiasm to his roles that will be sorely missed. Walker always looks like he’s enjoying himself, and that’s certainly true in Brick Mansions. It may not have been much of a script but that didn’t seem to stop Walker from having some fun.

less does what they need to do. Catalina Denis pulls off the tough damsel in distress. Gouchy Boy attempts to give the film some comic relief, and Ayisha Issa is disturbing, but I think she is supposed to be. I’m still not a fan of RZA as an actor, but as a villain he does a fair job. Brick Mansions is a lousy movie. It’s got mind blowing chase and fight scenes, but it is a lousy movie. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

According to event chairman Vic Tesolin, “The event is being held at the Algonquin College campus in Perth,� said Tesolin, “because that is where the heritage carpentry programs are located and they offer a very supportive environment for an event of this nature. Perth is historic, beautiful and offers a lot for people to do in addition to the conference.� Attendees will be able to attend seminars, meet and mingle with each other, take in the furniture exhibit and browse the wares of selected commercial vendors.

Meetings are held monthly with a guest speaker.

There are currently about 100 members. Meeting schedules and other information can be found at www. ottawawoodworkers.ca.

maine for years, but he can’t get through the Brick Mansions alone. He needs someone who knows the terrain. Enter Lino (David Bell). Lino is an ex-con and Brick Mansions resident who’s been waging his own war against Tremaine. Unfortunately, Lino’s involvement in Tremaine’s affairs has led Tremaine to kidnap Lino’s ex-girlfriend Lola (Catalina Denis). Lino didn’t need more motivation to go after Tremaine, but the bomb does make him willing to work with a cop. Together Lino and Damien have to save a city no one wants to save. The combination of Paul Walker, and the founder of parkour David Bell creates some of the most spectacular action sequences in film. There is a fluidity and grace to the fight choreography and chase scenes that is spell binding. In terms of plot and story, however, there are holes you can drive a truck through. None of this film makes sense except as an excuse for David Bell and Paul Walker to

Community – The Ottawa Woodworkers Association is holding WoodWorks 14, a conference by and for furniture makers; and, WoodObjects, a public exhibition of outstanding locally handcrafted furniture and other wood objects. The event will be held Sept. 27 to 29 at Algonquin College in Perth. The organizers of Woodworks 14 believe the line-up of speakers is very inspiring and offers something for everyone. They include: • Ron Barter – designer/maker of fine furniture and the owner of Rosewood Studio in Perth. • Tom Fidgen – author, musician, designer/maker of fine furniture; from Toronto. • Garrett Hack designer/maker of fine federal-inspired furniture, writer and international woodworking teacher, from Vermont. • Mark Harrell – saw maker; from Wisconsin. • Linda Manzer – Canadian master luthier, from Toronto. • Konrad Sauer – Kitchener =-based designer-maker of some of the world’s finest hand planes. • Christopher Schwarz – woodworker, contributing editor of Popular Woodworking, author and publisher of Lost Art Press, from Kentucky.

MOVIE: Brick Mansions STARRING: Paul Walker, David Bell, RZA, Catalina Denis, Ayisha Issa and Gouchy Boy DIRECTOR: Camille Delamarre RATING: PG Arts – With the founder of parkour as one of the stars of Brick Mansions it sounded like this could be an interesting action film. It definitely was that. Too bad that’s all it was. In the near future the slums of Detroit become so crime infested the powers that be build a wall around it, annex it, and then wash their hands of it. It’s like its own country with heavily guarded border. They call it the Brick Mansions, and it’s a no man’s land ruled by a drug dealer and gun runner named Tremaine (RZA). Somehow Tremaine gets his hands on a neutron bomb, and starts threatening the rest of Detroit. To stop him, undercover cop Damien (Paul Walker) is sent in. Damien has wanted to take down Tre-

National Gallery of Canada announces annual art contest for teens News – Recently, the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) launched the fourth edition of its popular contest So You Want to Be an Artist? Youth aged 16 to 19 from across the country are invited to submit their work by May 21. Submitted works will be shown on the site soyouwanttobeanartist.ca so that visitors can vote for their favourite. The 12 entries with the most votes will be shown at the Gallery from July 28 to Sept. 1. From those 12 entries, a jury of visual arts experts will select the three most outstanding works. The grand prize winner will receive an exclusive behind-the-scenes visit of the gallery. So You Want to Be An Artist? is made possible thanks to the generous support of RBC Foundation. New this year: an art expert will choose three additional works that he or she believes deserve to be exhibited and considered by the jury for one of the grand prizes. In 2013, So You Want to Be an Artist? attracted 203 teens from all across Canada, and

more than 25,000 votes were cast on the contest website. A total of 151,412 users visited the site, a 14 per cent increase from the previous year. “Since launching in 2011, So You Want to Be an Artist? has been growing in popularity among youth, and we hope to see more and more of them enter,” said NGC manager of youth and school programs Gary Goodacre. “We are always blown away by the superb quality of the works submitted.” A panel of judges will evaluate the 15 finalists’ artworks on the following criteria: clarity of theme and message; originality and imaginativeness; and thought and feeling provoked in the viewer. How to enter Young artists can base their work on whatever sparks their imagination. They can also draw inspiration from the NGC’s rich collection, either in person or by visiting gallery.ca. Artworks must be original two-dimensional pieces in any medium, and must be accompanied by a

short text explaining the inspiration for their piece. A digital copy of the work must be submitted, which will be shown on the soyouwanttobeanartist. ca website, where visitors will be able to vote for their favourite piece(s) through Facebook (one vote per work per Facebook account). The contestants with the most online votes, as well as the three additional ones whose artworks have been chosen by an expert, will be invited to submit their original artwork for entry into the final phase of the contest. For more information, go to soyouwanttobeanartist.ca. Eligibility The contest is open to residents of Canada who are aged 16 to 19, as of August 11, 2014.

• Online voting phase: The NGC will post all accepted entries online at soyouwanttobeanartist.ca. During the voting phase of the contest, visitors to the contest website will be able to vote once for every artwork that appeals to them. The voting phase takes place from May 26 to June 30. • Public display and jury selection phase: The NGC will invite the top 12 contestants with the most online votes, as well as the creators of the three additional artworks chosen, to submit their original artwork for display on its Artissimo Gallery wall, located in the concourse. The works will be

on view from July 28 to Sept. 1. During the display phase, a jury appointed by the NGC will evaluate the artworks based on: the clarity of the theme and message; originality and imaginativeness; and the thought and feeling provoked in the viewer. Announcement of winners The jurors will choose three finalists who will be awarded prizes as outlined below. The NGC will announce the winners during the week of Aug. 11. First prize includes travel, accommodation and meals for a two-night stay in Ottawa for the winner and one accompanying adult as well as an ex-

clusive behind-the-scenes visit of the NGC that will focus on careers in the visual arts. The winner will also gain expert advice on his or her art portfolio and receive a $500 gift certificate for art supplies. (Note: If the winner lives within a 100 km radius from downtown Ottawa, a $1,000 gift certificate for art supplies will be awarded instead of the travel portion of the prize.) Total maximum value: $3,500. Second prize is a $1,000 gift certificate for art supplies, while third prize is a $500 gift certificate for art supplies. Submitted by the National Gallery of Canada.

One contest, three phases • Online submission phase: The NGC will accept entries submitted before 11:59 p.m. EDT on May 21 via the contest website at soyouwanttobeanartist.ca. No submissions will be accepted afterwards.

1939 Mercury sedan nicknamed ‘Black Beauty’ Lifestyle – Here is a 1939 Mercury telling you its “auto-biography� right from birth, courtesy of Ian Panton in Kingsville, Ontario: “I was born in 1939 in the Ford plant in Windsor, Ontario. My VIN is 56,906. I’m classified as a Series 99A 4-door Town Sedan with a V8 engine of 239 cubic inches and a curb weight of 3,013 pounds. My first owner paid $957 for me, and I was worth it! “That first owner was a Polish immigrant to Canada who lived in Kitchener, Ontario. I meant a lot to him and he always kept me housed in a garage and never drove me in the winter. Fortunately, he was able to walk to work at the Electrohome plant in Kitchener. He kept me for 34 years and, when he was 59, he found another loving home for me. By that time, my odometer read 18,173 miles. “There were three other employees at the Electrohome plant who were interested in making me a part of their family. When the day came, my first owner selected a man from Listowel, Ontario, as my new owner because he was paying my full price in cash. The other two had brought cheques and there had been stories of cheques bouncing. “My second owner was a real Ford enthusiast who took excellent care of me during the next 15 years. He had my body repainted

duced as a medium-priced car for the 1939 model year to fill the price gap between the Ford Deluxe and the Lincoln Zephyr. It was an instant hit with an estimated 75,000 built in the first y ear. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympa-

and my seats and floor reupholstered. Most of the time he just washed and polished me. He had a very clean building where he kept his other cars and I was always indoors with them. “In September 1988, Ian Panton from Oakville fell in love with me on his journeys through Listowel and my owner finally agreed to sell me to Mr. Panton. By that time, my odometer read 22,812 miles. And so I joined the Panton family and the loving care I had been receiving all my life continued. My engine was rebuilt and my transmission was overhauled along with all the usual washing and polishing. Every winter I was lifted up onto my frame to take the weight off my springs. Perhaps the greatest highlights of my nearly ten years with Mr. Panton were being the wedding car for his daughter’s marriage and driving in the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise. In 1998, I went to another good home in Troy, Alabama.� The first Mercury was intro- Ian Panton poses with pride alongside “Black Beauty,� his 1939 Mercury 4-door sedan.
