Fraser and Yee provided a background on how the City of Brockville began last fall investigating the possibility of regional policing. They are currently awaiting the province’s costing model. The intent is to provide a service that is cost effective with partnerships designed to share resources. Yee asked which municipalities would be interested in participating and whether is it logis-

based on guidelines and research conducted by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and approved for use by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. A presentation to Counties Committee of the Whole by Forest Manager, Geoff McVey outlined how the 2013 program, including the use of six mowers, slowed the growth but didn’t eradicate wild parsnip and dog strangling vine. Timed mowing was used on wild parsnip and herbicides were sprayed on the invasive dog strangling vine to reduce seed development. McVey said mowing alone is not controlling the spread of the weeds and in some cases it is spreading the seeds. Weed control is also a public safety issue as wild parsnip can cause severe allergic reactions and the vine has a negative effect on maple syrup production, woodlots, agriculture and threatens biodiversity.

News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council meeting held April 24 and the Committee of the Whole session April 8. A trial-run weed spraying program is being introduced in two Leeds Grenville townships in a bid to control the spread of noxious weeds. The trial is part of the overall United Counties 2014 Roadside Weed Control Program to ensure clear sight lines along roadways and intersections and for the control of dangerous and invasive weeds. Roadside herbicide spraying will be on all Counties roads outside of settlements in Augusta and Edwardsburgh-Cardinal townships, with the exceptions on Leeds Grenville Roads 2 and 45. Residents who don’t wish to participate can request a “No Spray” sign from the Counties. Signs must be put in a prominent place on lawns and ditches. Areas sprayed will be from the road shoulder to the fence line. Spraying will be done from May 27 to June 20. Any stretches where landowners are mowing and maintaining their ditches will not be sprayed. For general inquiries and additional information or to find out more about picking up a “No Spray” sign call 613-342-3840, ext. 2413. Additional information will be available on the Counties website at www.leedsgrenville. com. Public notification will also be placed in area newspapers and online news sources in the coming weeks. The effectiveness of the herbicide trial will be reviewed to determine if the program should be expanded into other local municipalities next year. The type of herbicide being used will be

ernment is proposing a new mandatory provincial pension plan – the Ontario Retirement Pension Plan – that would be cost-effective, responsible and help Ontario workers build a more secure retirement future. The plan would build on the Canada Pension Plan (CPP), and expand pension coverage initially to more than three million working Ontarians who currently rely on the CPP, Old Age Security and their own savings for retirement income. The government is focused on investing in people today to provide fairness and security for all Ontarians. The 2014 Ontario budget includes the following measures: • Continuing to reform

for large, growing businesses and a tailored conservation program that helps small businesses and entrepreneurs ease their energy bills. Transportation and infrastructure Ontario’s investments have helped make the province one of the best places in the world to live, work and invest. Since 2003, Ontario has invested nearly $100 billion in hospitals, schools and transportation infrastructure, supporting an average of 100,000 jobs each year in construction and related industries. The province’s projected population growth will result in significant demand for all types of infrastructure. To meet this challenge, the 10year plan proposes over $130 billion in infrastructure investments to create jobs now, spur productivity and help the province grow and prosper, including: • Dedicating funding to make nearly $29 billion available over the next 10 years for transportation infrastructure, public transit and other priority infrastructure projects – $15 billion for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and nearly $14 billion for outside the GTHA. • Providing more than $11 billion over the next 10 years for elementary and secondary education infrastructure. • Planning to invest over $11.4 billion in major hospital expansion and redevelopment projects over the next 10 years. This is in addition to almost $700 million over the next 10 years to address deferred maintenance in hospitals.

News – The provincial government is moving forward with a 10-year plan for the economy focused on investing in people, building modern infrastructure, and supporting a dynamic and innovative business climate. These actions will build opportunity and security, and put the province’s businesses and people in a position to create new jobs today. The government will continue to manage growth in spending and will balance the budget by 2017-18, while making strategic investments in key public services and to help grow the economy. Highlights of the plan include: Jobs Despite a challenging global economic environment, the economy continues to grow and create jobs, providing Ontarians with opportunities today and to move into new careers and higher-paying jobs. The next steps the government will take include: • Establishing a new 10year, $2.5 billion Jobs and Prosperity Fund that will improve Ontario’s ability to attract significant business investments, strengthen Ontario’s strategic sectors and support the province’s future economic growth. • Investing $295 million over two years for the Ontario Youth Jobs Strategy, which gives young people the opportunity to gain a foothold in the job market. Since September 2013, it has already helped more than 10,000 young people gain work experience and find jobs. • Expanding the reach of Ontario’s exports to fastgrowing emerging markets to help many small and mediumsized businesses grow and create jobs.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Honesty always the best policy, says reader DEAR EDITOR: It seems that in this busy world today, we don’t take the time to say thanks, where thanks is due. I was parked in the parking lot of a local grocery store, one Saturday late in March. To my surprise, as I was loading my groceries into my car, and elderly gentleman approached me saying he was just in the process of leaving me a note of apology. The note read “My apologies – Neighbour, I think I clipped your left front fender, please call me when you get a moment” and left his name and telephone number on the note he handed me. When I returned home, I further inspected my car and did notice

a couple of marks on my car, where he had indicated that he may have bumped my vehicle. When I called him to discuss the incident, he was very apologetic and offered to pay for any damage. I received a quote from a local body shop and let the gentleman know the cost for the repair. Within a day the repair had been prepaid at the local shop. For your honesty and stepping up to make things right, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Cindy McIntosh Clayton

COMMENTARY

Local hockey at its best Editorial – Junior hockey may have wound down in many communities across the county, but fans have the opportunity to cheer on a local team having an extraordinary season. The Junior A Carleton Place Canadians won the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) championship back on April 20, the first in its five-year history, earning a berth to Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian championship tournament in Saint-Jerome, Quebec. They were undefeated heading into the final game versus the host Saint-Jerome Panthers and remained that way, winning 3-1 on May 4. They brought the Fred Page Cup home to Carleton Place later that evening. The Canadians arrived home to a rousing welcome with more than 100 fans cheering them on as they descended from the team’s bus; an experience that captain Elias Ghantous said sent “tingles up and down my spine.” These types of things make a big difference in how a team performs. Having Lanark County behind them, gives the Canadians even more ammunition to perform well on a national scale. The Canadians season doesn’t end here, though, as this paper makes its way to area homes, the team will be on its way to Vernon, British Columbia to represent eastern Canada in the national RBC Cup tournament. The five-team competition kicks off this Saturday, May 10. No matter which team you traditionally root for, it’s hard to argue that the Canadians don’t deserve this good fortune. They worked hard throughout the season, remaining atop the CCHL leader board and have only continued to grow stronger during the playoffs. Hockey fever is infectious throughout the county and as the last area junior team still on the ice, residents should be cheering on the home team as they continue to make their mark on the local hockey history books. Keep up to date by visiting www.hockeycanada.ca.

Spring cleaning brought new life into Mary’s childhood home Lifestyle – The signs were everywhere. Our old log house had finally taken on the look of spring, leading into summer. Although any visitor coming into the house would not be aware of the difference, it was very obvious to us who lived there. Outside, the very last smidgen of snow had long since gone. The foot path from the summer kitchen to the barn was now dry, and the mud that followed the melting snow had hardened like it did every spring. Inside, everywhere, I could see the changes that had taken us from one season to the next. Mother had pulled out the strips of rags and old wool socks that had been crammed around every window downstairs to keep out the winter drafts. Of course, these weren’t thrown away. No, they were washed, hung out on the fence to dry, and then rolled in newspapers and tucked under an upstairs bed at the ready for the next winter. And the windows, grimy from the long months when it was impossible to clean them, were shining from the bath they took of water and vinegar.

The windows were ready for the warm weather. When the cold fall weather struck months before, braided mats had been scattered all through the house...one hefty one rolled and kept tight against the back door to keep out the drafts... many others put here and there, in the hope they would help keep our feet warm from the icy cold floors that were impossible to heat up no matter how raging was the Findlay Oval. And joy, oh joy, the navy blue fleece lined bloomers had one last washing on laundry day, and they too would be tucked away. Of course, they were no longer the deep navy of a few months ago when they were fresh out of the parcel ordered from Eaton’s catalogue...now they had faded to a pale purple, attesting to the dozens of times they had been washed over the winter. The bloomers would join the suits of long underwear and undershirts helping to keep us warm on long walks to school, and they would be packed in the hump-backed trunk that sat under the west window in the bedroom I shared with my sister Audrey.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Of course Father insisted on wearing his undershirt, long sleeves and all, under his work shirt long into the summer. He gave up his combinations only when Mother snatched them off the chair by his bed when he was sleeping, and when the heat of the summer had the rest of us panting. There were no clothes closets in that old log house, and no storage cupboards, and no attic to store things away one season to the next, and I was always amazed how Mother found space to tuck things away, sight unseen. Gradually winter outerwear would be hung on the clothesline, or thrown over the wire fence in the back yard to get a good airing...always a chore for a warm sunny day.

amined by Mother, buttons replaced, seams sewn and spots removed, would be packed into a big cardboard box scrounged from Briscoe’s General Store. Between each piece of clothing, Mother would tuck in a few mothballs. When the box was put in the boys’ bedroom, the whole upstairs smelled of the mothballs. The Findlay Oval would yet be moved out into the summer kitchen. Father thought that idea was just about the craziest notion he ever heard in his life. And as soon as Mother got the itch to “turn the whole house upside down” as he called it, he began lamenting about the huge job ahead that took up the better part of a day...a day better spent on the back fields. “Three generations of Hanemans have lived with the cook stove in the kitchen 12 months of the year,” he’d lament. But Mother insisted the big lumbering Oval be moved to the summer kitchen...rolled out by every hand in the house on two logs, the stove pipes taken down, repainted and a smaller portion of pipe poked through a hole in the summer kitchen wall.

But the biggest change to me, and the one I looked forward to most, was when the parlour would be open for the summer. All winter the door which separated it from the kitchen was closed tightly, a thick braided rug jammed along the bottom of the door to keep out the cold air. You could see your breath in the parlour if you had to go in to get the bible off the twig table, or the picture album. It was almost like the parlour was no longer part of the house. And now the door was flung wide, the one window opened to get rid of the musty smell, and the house was ready for summer! The last job was done. Spring was upon us, and soon the heat of the summer would penetrate the logs, and after working so hard to keep the house warm over the winter, Mother’s next challenge would be to keep the heat outside, and capture inside what cool air she could.

Musician April Verch to play, dance at local Mother’s Day concert Arts – One of the Ottawa Valley’s most popular musicians in returning to the area for a Mother’s Day concert. Internationally renowned fiddler, stepdancer and singer/songwriter April Verch will break away from a tour of the US to play a concert this Sunday, May 11 at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham. “I am so looking forward to getting home to the Ottawa Valley, if only for one night, and performing at ‘home’ as well,� said Verch. The event, a fundraiser for the Anglican Parish of Pakenham, will begin at 2 p.m. The $25 tickets are available in advance at Nicholson’s, the Pakenham General Store, Darvesh Gas and Grocery (Kinburn), or by calling Sean Watson at 613-624-5069. The April Verch Band - rounded out by bassist and clawhammer banjo player Cody Walters and guitarist Hayes Griffin, who has a Masters in jazz improv from the New England Conservatory, is an energetic, virtuosic, tradition-celebrating outfit. The band’s dramatic grand finale involves Verch fiddling and stepdancing, often executing two entirely different intricate rhythmic patterns at once. Verch, who is in the second decade of her musical career, has won many awards and competition and represented Canada’s fiddling tradition by performing in the opening ceremonies at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. “The accolades are important and noteworthy and special to me,� she says. “But what I think is most impressive to me is that I’ve been doing this full time since 2000. We make a living playing music that we love and it touches other people. “I feel like we’re extremely lucky to do that, but also I work really hard, not just at the music, but at every aspect of our career, to make that happen. That we find a way to make it work, and have had that kind of longevity, that’s impressive to me.� Verch is getting rave reviews for her ninth album, Bright Like Gold. One review says it “captures a woman who’s fleshed out her identity and is in full command of her gifts, a woman who’s grown from a prodigy into an enduring artist - one of music’s most unforgiving public transitions - with grace and grit to spare.� The album features an impressive range of material from the trio. Verch is fluent in folk traditions, the

Ottawa Valley ones she was born into as well as the American ones she later discovered. She reinvigorates fiddle tunes like those featured in the Canadian medley ‘Dusty Miller’, ‘Fiddle Fingers’ and ‘Grizzly Bear’ and the Appalachian medley ‘Edward in the Treetop’, ‘Yellow Jacket’ and ‘Quit That Tickling Me’. There are also originals on the album like her instrumental waltz ‘Morris & Boris’ and country courting number ‘The Only One’. What makes the latter song even more special is that Bluegrass Hall of Famer Mac Wiseman’s voice is on it, and he’s not the only guest of note. Premier old-time fiddler Bruce Molsky joins Verch for some handsome dual fiddling on ‘Evening Star Waltz’ and bluegrass banjo icon Sammy Shelor appears on ‘Davy Davy’ and ‘Folding Down the Sheets’. Verch also chose to include ‘No Other Would Do’, the only song her dad’s ever written, on the album.

News – Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier (Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington) welcomed last week’s news that Ontario’s Liberal government lost the confidence of the House of Commons. “After $1 billion cancellations of gas plants to save Liberal seats, people losing their lives due to the incompetence at ORNGE and tens of billions of dollars in failed promises, reck-

less spending and jobs leaving Ontario, Ontario citizens are going to have the chance to put Ontario back on the road to recovery,” he said. NDP leader Andrea Horwath’s announcement that they won’t be supporting this year’s Liberal budget comes as a surprise. Despite the wiping of documents relating to the gas plant scandal from government computers, the high and increasing

cost of hydro electricity and a lack of jobs in Ontario, the Ontario NDP have supported every single confidence motion in the Liberal government since 2011. Hillier will continue to put the people of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington first and bring Ontario back on the road to recovery. Submitted by the office of Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier.

Killing too many deer proves costly for Delta man News – A Delta man has pleaded guilty and been fined a total of $3,000 for huntingrelated offences. Gordon H. White was fined $1,000 for killing and abandoning two white-tailed deer and allowing their flesh to become unfit for human consumption; $1,000 for obstructing a conservation officer, and $1,000 for unlawfully killing more than one white-tailed deer. His hunting licence was also suspended for four years. The court heard that on Nov. 13, 2013, White shot at three deer while hunting and failed to determine if any had been killed. White subsequently

discovered he had killed all three deer. Since he only had one game seal, he attempted to acquire another game seal from local hunters but was declined. White abandoned two of the dead deer and affixed his game seal to a third – a mature buck – which he hung from a tree located on the property he was hunting on. The next day, a conservation officer inspected the buck to ensure compliance. An investigation revealed that White had killed three deer, two of which he abandoned and allowed to spoil. The buck was seized during the investigation and

was forfeited to the Crown. Justice of the Peace Raymond J. Switzer heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Brockville, April 2. For further information on hunting regulations, please consult the Hunting Regulations Summary available at ontario.ca/hunting. To report a natural resources violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (8477667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Submitted by they Ministry of Natural Resources.

Local fashionistas strut their stuff on CP catwalk Arts – The Carleton Place Spring Home and Garden Show brought a little bit of the Milan runway to the upper hall of the Carleton Place arena on Saturday, April 12, as local fashion powerhouses Nancy’s Impressions and The Dress Shop brought out their brightest designs, and most stunning models, in an effort to quote the late, great Mickey Rooney, “put on a show.” Clockwise from top left: Candace Burn is a rainbow vision in her dress from Nancy’s Impressions; Flora Neave twirls an accessory around her nick, seen here in mid-twirl, during the portion of the event for Nancy’s Impressions; Michelle Jordan strikes a defiant pose in her sunny, golden outfit from Nancy’s Impressions; Kelly Hobbs strikes a pose, showing how the fabric falls and flows from her, during the segment devoted to The Dress Shop; Candace Burn is a multimedia sensation, who can get her sunny dress to twirl on any media platform, including this old-media one, in a dress from Nancy’s Impressions; and Stephanie McEvoy shows that a little grey dress can be just as pretty as a little black dress during the fashion show segment for The Dress Shop.

Throwaway society is damaging our environment Lifestyle – I knew we were in deep trouble on this planet during a visit to Scotland in 1999. We were on a coach (bus) tour of the picturesque Highlands. As our driver slowly guided the huge vehicle through valleys (glens) and hills I had good views at times from my window seat. What I saw startled and horrified me. Garbage – trash of all shapes and sizes. It was scattered hither and yon. The junk was everywhere! That fact put the brakes on my false impression that the Scottish Highlands are beautiful, uninhabited and largely unspoiled. Lightly inhabited? Yes. Picturesque? Definitely – in many places at least. Unspoiled? Absolutely not! People are responsible for that. Members of our “Throwaway Society� who dispose of waste materials everywhere and anywhere, with absolutely no thought about what their thoughtless, deliberate actions do to the landscape. Or more to the point, how negative this problem is for the environment. I’m sure you have seen the terrible photographs of wildlife that inadvertently run afoul of materials man discards. Deer with plastic rings caught around their necks. Ducks and geese with fishing line wrapped around their bodies or caught in their webbed feet. Sadly the situation is worsening. The amount of material discarded in public places increases with every passing day. Recently, during the long and difficult search for that ill-fated Malaysian jetliner, the seriousness of this problem was further underlined. What search aircraft thought might have been debris from the missing aircraft was, on closer inspection, found to be masses of floating garbage. A few weeks ago I heard a radio report which offered startling details about the volume of trash floating in the world’s oceans. Vast quantities of garbage often mesh together to create huge, floating islands. The majority of these islands, which are often the size of several football fields, are comprised of our favourite disposable item, plastic bags. People on cruise ships are sometimes stunned as they watch the huge vessels plow through a seemingly endless field of junk, bobbing along on its way to nowhere in particular. Some of it will eventually wash up on land and will have to be dealt with. But with approximately 70 per cent of the earth’s surface covered by water it is probable much of it will continue to wash around until it encounters more flotsam and jetsam and forms into larger floating trash fields. Here in eastern Ontario a reluctant spring has finally arrived. When the huge amount of snow on the ground melted the most prominent feature exposed was garbage. Some of the sights I saw in our community and this district were outrageous. Trash of every description was everywhere. So many of our fellow citizens have absolutely no respect for our property, our streets and sidewalks, public parks or the community we live in.

JEFF MAGUIRE

Like so many villages, towns and cities across the country, Carleton Place where we live has an annual “Pitch-In� campaign (it was held two weeks ago). It’s part of a long running national clean-up initiative. Residents are encouraged to clean up their own properties as well as the streets, sidewalks and other public spaces nearest their homes. Obviously some people jump in and do a terrific job. Most don’t! And judging by the amount of garbage blowing around here (and most places) the majority of us contribute to the problem instead of helping to alleviate it. Personally I hate to see discarded refuse anywhere on our property. I make a point of picking it up as soon as I see it. I do the same on the street in front of our house. To me it is embarrassing to leave garbage sitting on the street in close proximity to our place. Yes, it’s annoying that people drop their trash in public. But if I ignore it, I feel I’m to blame somehow. I wish more people would adopt this attitude. If everyone did their part then this community – your community – would be a cleaner, prettier place to live. Better public education is one approach. It won’t work for many obviously. However, every person who changes their habits and decides to join those who are properly disposing of waste materials is one more important convert. For whatever reasons, many people don’t think twice about throwing materials of all kinds on to the street. Sure, maybe it is just a gum wrapper, tissue or plastic bag. But as I have already clearly illustrated one becomes two, two becomes three and before you know it there is junk everywhere. Why can’t drivers save the garbage left from their latest trip to the drive through window? It’s just as easy to toss it in your trash receptacle at home as it is to roll down the window and deliberately discard material on the street or along the highway. How thoughtless and how destructive to engage in such behaviour! For far too many it is straight out the window with everything they don’t want. I recently heard a radio host say that municipalities “should increase the fines for littering.� A good idea, on the surface! But it fails to address the practical realities. Most municipal bylaws are not enforced unless someone complains. Besides, it seems unlikely that bylaw enforcement staff (they are thin on the ground) will spend much time chasing litter bugs. Outside of more public education I admit that finding solutions to this situation is difficult. But somehow we have to try and appeal to people to exercise some common sense and consider the consequences of thoughtless and often destructive behaviour such as littering.

clear aquamarine. The owner stressed a standing rule at the location. Everyone who visits is expected to take their garbage with them or deposit it in the appropriate containers so it can be disposed of properly. Underwater footage taken around and near the marina showed a pristine sea floor. No empty bottles and cans, no discarded objects of any kind. Very different from the rivers and lakes in our own region where, during the warm weather months a careful survey is required before anyone enters the water with bare feet. Broken glass and sharp objects are everywhere. It’s all completely unnecessary and totally within our power as a society to eliminate. But unless people’s attitudes change, a relatively easy solution appears unachievable. It’s a sad commentary on our throwaway society!

Everyone’s problem

Reflections

Attitude adjustment Countless people, in this country and around the world, need an attitude adjustment. Of course those who take no pride in themselves are unlikely to take much pride in their property, their surroundings or their community. Clearly the best way we can address this growing problem is to make people realize how damaging littering really is. How cumulative it is! There’s no question this can be accomplished in part, if there is a will to address the matter. To me it is shameful. Therefore shaming the “perpetrators� seems a logical approach. Everyone who sees this as an issue needs to speak out when they see others engaging in such behaviour. Peer pressure, when it is applied reasonably, can be a powerful tool. Recently I watched a travel show on television which highlighted a marina on an idyllic cay (island) in the Caribbean. The sea at the location was a beautiful, crystal

UCDSB establishes new superintendent of district alignment, accountability position News – A new superintendent’s position will allow the Upper Canada District School Board to meet its information needs to more effectively align with organizational changes that were announced by director David Thomas to the board of trustees on April 23.

Community – Each year in early June for the past 43 years there has been a large bicycle tour through our region organized by the Ottawa Bicycle Club. This year, the event will see just over 2,000 cyclists on some of our local roads Saturday, June 7 and Sunday, June 8. The event has become so popular that there are cyclists from all regions of Ontario, eastern Quebec and Montreal) plus many from New York State. Most of the riders will be with groups of friends working together on a long (180 km) ride. There will be no mass start for the event and consequently there cyclists will be spread out along the route in small groups. They are not racing but merely trying to complete the challenge of two days of strenuous, but exciting and picturesque touring in the Rideau Lakes area. The entire route will be pa-

Perkins He arrived at LAWS as a matted, emaciated, very sick cat. It took a lot of love, care and vet visits to bring this gorgeous Main coon mix boy to good health. He has most of his soft fur back and looks like a mini-lion. Perkins is ready to purr on your lap or a soft pillow.

Valentino This handsome boy came to LAWS with a large laceration above his eye that got severely infected. Each day he is improving and would love some help from somebody to help scratch his itchy new eyebrow. He is clear of infection but still needs to wear his head cone for a while longer to prevent him from open up the stitches. He loves a warm cloth Featured pets on his healing wounds or a soft scratch Cats This week we like to feature two cats on his head. Valentino is very affectionate and who, after a lot of TLC and visits to the veterinarian persevered through their likely is just the lap cat you’ve been looking for. Please come to LAWS to initial obstacles. meet this boy. Featured dogs Pongo The top of his handsome head looks as if it was dipped in dark caramel, and his nose is boyishly freckled. This former stray, once so fearful of people, has come a long way in a short time. He is slowly learning some basic commands and how to wear a leash. He now walks freely between kennels and has even begun to play.

Unfamiliar with affection and attention, young Pongo not only enjoys it, he’s started to actively seek it out. A moderate to high-energy hound, he barely barks, is sweet natured and trusting and willing to please. He takes his treats gently and shows, oh so gently, how eager he is to learn – everything. All Pongo needs now is a special forever home, where he can continue to learn, to grow and to know, at last, how it feels to be loved. Pongo and Charlie could be adopted together or separately.

Charlie Could there be a hound more handsome than this tri-colour hound with the sweet, sad expression, standing so still in the snow? Meet Charlie, the gentle companion of Pongo, who also knew little either about people, parameters or playtime. Who, like Pongo, has also grown in leaps and bounds. With his big heart open to the experience of loving and learning, he is now more trusting of his humans and more than happy to prove it by pleasing them. Only slightly more vocal than Pongo, Charlie is equally as bright and equally as motivated in making up for all he has missed. All he wants is the chance. Like his best hound buddy, he is looking for that chance with a forever family who will patiently and lovingly steer him in the right direction. The one that is marked: ”potential reached.” Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is located on Glenview Road, just off Highway 43, about 2 kilometres west of Smiths Falls.

Citizens to erect water level monitoring station in Appleton By DESMOND DEVOY and SAM COOLEY

News – The Mississippi Riverwatchers group will be setting up a water level monitoring station near Appleton that will take readings every six minutes. Mike O’Malley, the group’s leader, made the announcement during a gathering of concerned environmentalists at Appleton Bay Park on Saturday, April 26. O’Malley has long been concerned about the effects of water levels on silver maple trees in swampy areas along the river, particularly the stretch from Appleton to Almonte, an area recognized as a provincially significant wetland – one of only three along the Mississippi. The other two are near Glen Isle, outside of Carleton Place, and the other is in Innisville, in Drummond/North Elmsley Township. He has long expressed concern about trees dying along the water’s edge, and beyond, affecting the overall tree canopy in the area. “They (trees) want a predictable flood,” said O’Malley, standing in the midst of a light drizzle, pointing out to the stark-looking trees on the other side of the bay. The trees, he said, need dry periods, because “as soon as they get wet, they stop growing.” He noticed that, in about the year 2000, there was a significant change in the summertime water levels on the river. Because of this, he claims, “we have a very large tree canopy that is in the last stages of dying,” said O’Malley. For two years, he and his fellow citizen scientists looked at all possible causes for this, including taking daily

recordings of water levels. Looking at the similar areas in Glen Isle and Innisville, there were no comparable changes. “It is not systemic…it is manmade,” said O’Malley, charging that “the cause and effect changing the water level regime,” is having an impact on the trees. “We (Mississippi Riverwatchers) are trying to affect change in the water level regime.” He stressed that his group was not opposed to hydroelectric operations in Almonte, and that, indeed, hydro had been produced in the town for more than a century, without impacting the Appleton trees. “There is a level at which we can have both,” trees and hydro, he said. He criticized Enerdu Power Systems Inc. for, as he saw it, affecting the water level changes. “As a community, we find this fundamentally offensive…to destroy an ecosystem,” he said. “This was a pristinely beautiful ecosystem 10 years ago.” His group will be lobbying the municipality and the province to more tightly regulate the water levels along the river. The Riverwatchers are also seeking funding through fundraising and by applying for an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to help cover the $10,000 cost for the meter. “If we intervene now, we can save this,” said O’Malley. It is not just the Riverwatchers who are concerned with the river. To date, about 2,261 signatures have been collected in an online petition against Enerdu, according to the website: almonte.com.

Enerdu’s stance But Ron Campbell, a project manager at Enerdu, indicated in a May 1 telephone interview that he was confident the project will be complete in the near future. Campbell said Enerdu is a green, small-impact project and when asked to comment about the public concerns about Enerdu’s expansion, he said he

does not quite understand why things are being blown out of proportion. The public outcry may have to do with a “not in my backyard” sentiment, indicated Campbell. But Enerdu is one generating station among a dozen other dams and facilities which are studded along the Mississippi River all the way to Bon Echo

Provincial Park. “We’re just one player in a large group,” he said. Campbell outlined a figure of 300 kilowatts-per-hour generated by Enerdu. The town’s hydro facility, located about 125 metres away, produces around seven times the energy that Enerdu presently does. When asked about the

“provincially significant wetlands” nine kilometres upstream of Enerdu, Campbell said he knew about them. He also acknowledged there may be water-level related reasons for the dying off of what he called “Swamp Maple,” but added that, “those are natural occurrences.” Campbell said his company is expecting “flows to go down to historic levels (in July), and there’s nothing we can do about that.” He said the river is always changing, as it has for decades. The planning process for Enerdu included an Environmental Assessment. Additionally, there was public consultation before Enerdu could proceed. “Despite the escalations in areas of concerns, the Minister (of the Environment) indicated he was happy with the steps we took to address and mitigate it (concerns),” said Campbell. Muriel Kim is an environmental scientist who conducted the study for Enerdu while acting as a consultant on behalf of Water and Earth Sciences (WESA), a firm which conducts scientific research for industries. Kim released a document online on March 12, 2013 which addressed some of the public’s concerns. This document outlined the public’s “confusion” over some of the legal issues surrounding Enerdu’s expansion. In this document, and in a May 1 interview with this newspaper, Kim drew distinctions that the company was required to fully understand how development of the Mississippi River is See TREES page A/CP2

The “zone of influence� in the Environmental Assessment is defined in the March 2013 document as being the “immediate area,� around the Enerdu facility and weirs. Kim’s assessment states it did not observe potential impacts on the Appleton wetlands because they were nine kilometres upstream and not immediately surrounding the wetlands.

Canadians ultimately clinched the game with an empty net strike from forward Dylan Gareau with just 16 seconds left in regulation. Mark Gormley, a nurse at Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital, brought his daughter to the welcome home celebration. “I went to their first game Wednesday. But I had to work on the weekend so I couldn’t go to the final,� he said. Gormley said at every opportunity Sunday afternoon he snuck into a staff room to watch the game via an Internet connection which allows fans to view Canadians’ (and league) games live all season. “This is such a big thing for Carleton Place. I’m really proud of them,� he added. Fans of all ages lined up to have their photos taken during an impromptu photography session in which both the Bogart-Nielsen Cup, emblematic of CCHL supremacy, and the Fred Page Cup were placed

Winger Andy Sturtz a Buffalo, New York native was the top scorer in the league during the regular season. He is thrilled to be playing in the Canadian Junior A championship. “I’m really excited.

But I won’t be missing this (RBC),� he laughed. As for Clarke, he couldn’t say enough about the fan response. “I’m proud of this town. I am proud to be from Carleton Place,� the head coach stated.

semi-final hook-up. In the league final Carleton Place faced arch rival Smiths Falls Bears who finished a distant second to Canadians (24 points behind) during the regular season. Carleton Place prevailed in five games although all of the encounters were close. Canadians needed a 2-1 overtime victory on Easter Sunday afternoon to wrap up the best-of-seven. The hockey club swept their way to the Fred Page Cup, winning all four games played in the four-team event. As mentioned Carleton Place opens the RBC against host Vernon Vipers Saturday. The game begins at 10 p.m. (Eastern Time). They are guaranteed four games in the five-team roundrobin. The team flies to BC today (May 8) and will hold two practices before the tournament begins.

subject for the evaluation. A representative of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), Kim Beach, wrote in an email exchange that Enerdu must follow the terms in the Mississippi River Water Management Plan (MRWMP). According to Beach, the plan intends to make “considerations of the environmental socio-economic values� of the area. But the seventh page of the plan also states it “does not look at environmental issues that are not related to the manipulation of water flows.� The MNR has investigated the silver maple swamps in Appleton and, according to Beach, the cause of their death is unknown.

News – On May 2, the Ottawa Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) charged an Almonte man as a result of an online investigation. In December 2013, the Ottawa Police Service received information from the RCMP’s National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre that a suspect, residing in Almonte and employed in the Ottawa area, had distributed child pornography. On May 2, the Ottawa Police ICE Unit conducted two simultaneous search warrants at the man’s home in Almonte and his place of work in the City of Ottawa. As a result, a 50-year-old man has

been charged with two counts each of Possession of Child Pornography, Making Child Pornography, Conspiracy to Commit an Indictable Offence and one count of Distributing Child Pornography. He appeared in court for a bail hearing on May 3. The investigation is ongoing. The Ottawa Police Service is a member of the provincial strategy to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation on the Internet. This project has been made possible by a grant from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Submitted by the Ottawa Police Service.

Everyone and anyone is encouraged to join in on the fun, Mills said, all it takes is a bit of a green thumb. The goal behind the competition is to get as many people growing and donating produce as possible from the three municipalities. The veggies can come from community gardens, private and indoor gardens or wherever else, but they have to be selfgrown. “Providing healthier food options to the food banks is something that we should be striving harder to do,” said Al Jones, chair of the Lanark County Food Bank. “It is part of our mandate to provide healthy options, and we do the best that we can, but we’re always welcome to having help.” Participating in the competition couldn’t be easier: anyone interested can simply drop their produce off at the Lanark County Food Bank, but be sure to tell them that you’re participating in the Great Veggie Grow-Off and let them know where you reside. At the end of the competition in October, there will be a weighin at the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market, where the winner of the grow-off will be announced. As of yet, no prizes have been established, but the winning community will certainly have bragging rights and the pride that comes with supporting the food bank. “We’re all friends here, but I can already tell that this is going to be an interesting competition,” said Master Gardener Ed Lawrence, who was at the launch. “It’s going to be a fun few months.”

At the launch of the Great Veggie Grow Off competition, hosted by Mills Community Support in partnership with the Neighbourhood Tomato Community Garden Project and the Lanark County Food Bank, on May 1, locals from the three participating communities came out to strut their stuff.

of Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills – during this year’s summer season. The idea is to see which area can grow and donate the most produce to the Lanark County Food Bank. “What we wanted to do was create a kind of encouragement piece,” said Jeff Mills of Mills Community Support at the launch. “We thought that having a bit of competition might spark people’s interests and get them more involved.” The competition was launched on May 1 with a short presentation at Augusta Street Park in Almonte, and will continue throughout the growing season to end on Oct. 16, which is World Food Day.

Junior Civitan Mother’s Day Breakfast on May 11 By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

Community – Looking to treat your mom for Mother’s Day? The Almonte Junior Civitan has you covered. The morning of Sunday, May 11, the Almonte Junior Civitan will once again be hosting their famous Mother’s Day Breakfast, from 8 to 11 a.m. “The Mother’s Day Breakfast is always a great event,” said Marsha Guthrie, one of the Junior Civitan’s advisors. “We always see a lot of families coming out to enjoy a nice meal to celebrate everything that their moms do, which is nice.” Hosted at the Almonte Civitan, the club’s junior members, who are all in Grades 9 to 12, will be whipping up a feast of pancakes,

bacon or sausage, eggs and toast. Coffee, tea and juice will also be available. The breakfast costs $6 per person, and the some of the funds raised will be donated to a local charity of the Junior Civitan’s choosing. “This is one of our two major fundraisers for the year,” Guthrie said, “and the kids have supported many causes in the past with the money raised from the breakfast.” Historically, the breakfast raises of $1,000 each year that the Junior Civitan members can then donate to an organization of their choosing. Past recipients include the Hub, the Lanark Animal Welfare Society, the Salvation Army, the Angel Tree initiative, the Almonte District High School drama club and Relay for Life. To help raise money, the breakfast also

features a raffle draw for prizes. This year’s goodies include a purse from Almonte’s Keepsakes, Celtfest hats and tshirts, flowers, beauty products and a gift basket from Rexall. “The raffle prizes are like the icing on the cake,” Guthrie said. “It can be very fun for some of the moms to win prizes on Mother’s Day, or if their family wins they often give the prize to their mom.” There’s no need to book a spot for the event – the Junior Civitan members are prepared for the large crowd they usually see – just head to the Civitan on Sunday hungry and ready to eat. “We hope to see many families there this year,” Guthrie said. “Why not celebrate Mother’s Day and help out a local cause at the same time?”

Community – Even though it may not feel like it yet, spring is here, and so is the time to do some spring cleaning – but what do you do with all of your unwanted stuff afterwards? Donating it to the Community Garage Sale in Mississippi Mills is a good way to go. Not only will it mean you don’t have to deal with your unwanted items, but all the money raised from the sale will go towards putting on another great Light Up the Night event this winter. “We’ve been hosting the Community Garage Sale to benefit Light Up the Night for seven or eight years,” said Calvin Murphy, Mississippi Mills’ recreation manager. “It’s a good way for us to raise some funds to offset the cost of the event each year.” This year’s garage sale will be held in the parking lot of Almonte’s Home Hardware, where there will be enough room to accommodate all of the tables, on Saturday, May 24 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There are two ways to get involved with the sale. First, interested individuals can donate their items to the town’s table, where items will be sold and the proceeds will go directly to Light Up the Night. Alternatively, people can purchase their own tables at the sale for $20 and sell their own items. Proceeds from the sale of tables will also go towards Light Up the Night. Those who have purchased tables can begin to set up at 6 a.m. on the day of the sale. People may also begin to donate their items at that time as well. During the event, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Almonte Civitan will also be hosting a barbecue, the proceeds of which they have traditionally donated to Light Up the Night as well. “Light Up the Night is one of the iconic events in Mississippi Mills,” Murphy said, “and we want to keep it going for years to come. Fundraisers like the garage sale are important ways that we can help keep it around.” Anyone interested in booking a table or looking for more information can call the town’s offices at 613-2561077.

It seems that no level of government was immune, and no one ended up looking good by the time the work week ended. Just a sampling: • Toronto Mayor Rob Ford finally, finally sought help for his addictions, fleeing Canada’s largest city for rehab, on May 1. • Shawn Atleo resigned as the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations over his support for Bill C-33, the First Nations Control of First Nations Education Act, on May 2. • Premier Kathleen Wynne calls a provincial election for June 12, on May 2, after New Democratic Party leader Andrea Horwath declared that she and her party would not support the Finance Minister Charles Sousa’s budget – tabled less than 24 hours earlier. • Most troubling of all, on May 1, Prime Minister Stephen Harper accused Beverly McLachlin, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, of trying

to discuss a court case with him, specifically, his appointment to the very same court, that of Marc Nadon. It really is hard to know where to begin, but the most serious is the ongoing spat between McLachlin and Harper. Now, the game of hesaid-she-said goes beyond marital bickering or the high school cafeteria, and into the highest corridors of power. For Harper, it may seem like a little bit of payback for the court ruling against him, in spectacular fashion, on the Nadon appointment, and on senate reform. Harper refused McLachlin’s call, as Attorney General Peter McKay said it would be inappropriate. It may well have been, and McLachlin should have known better than to offer unsolicited advice. But where Harper has stepped over the line is in making it personal. McLachlin said that Nadon’s appointment might not meet the guidelines set out in law – and, indeed, she later voted this way when Nadon’s appointment came up for its review. But she is just one of several votes on the court. Harper’s timing is interesting in that it is coming out now, after the Nadon ruling, and not before. If

Harper truly had any qualms about McLachlin’s actions, should he not have made the phone call public before the Nadon case went to the Supreme Court, and asked her to recuse herself? Why wait until all was said and done? What good is it now except in a petty attempt at making the court look bad, maybe even forcing her resignation? This recent penchant of Harper’s for picking fights when there are certainly more important things to be worrying about it troubling. Look at the kerfuffle over the Fair Elections Act. Anyone who spoke out against it – including former Auditor General Sheila Fraser, once held up by Harper himself as a scion of ethics and good public morals during the sponsorship scandal – was painted as either biased or bought, or both. This bullying has to stop, of out-and-out character assassination. Claiming that Michael Ignatieff “didn’t come back for you,” in 2011 is one thing, but this ultra-paranoia is not healthy.

As for the provincial election we are finally in, well, it appears that someone fell into someone’s trap that day. On June 12, we shall see who –Wynne for setting the trap or Horwath for taking the bait. Horwath finally said what everyone else has been saying – that Ontarians have lost faith in this government to govern, and now is the time to decide. Just look next door in Quebec where new Premier Phillipe Couillard has admitted that the province has been living beyond its means for too long, and that it will need to look at all spending, including its European-style social welfare programs. Here is one Liberal who knows that proliferate spending cannot carry on indefinitely – if only we had Liberal leadership here who could have woken up in time to realize this too. It’s probably moot by now, but, soon, we will all have a chance to have our say. But looking back at late last week, if we get the government we deserve, what did we do to deserve this mess?

People First of Ontario organization applauds new provincial budget tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – While the opposition parties may not have viewed the budget in a positive light, having forced a provincial election June 12 by rejecting the document, People First of Ontario (PFO) applauded the Ontario government for its unprecedented investment in people who have an intellectual disability, as well as their families. “We’ve never seen anything like this before,� PFO president Kory Earle said of the declaration by Ted McMeekin, Minister of Community and Social Services. Earle was invited to attend the funding announcement, which

government had proposed an $810 million investment to eradicate, within four years, the waitlists for two critical programs – Special Services at Home (children) and Passport (adults). Furthermore, this funding would also provide assistance to more than 1,400 individuals who are waiting for housing support. Other advantages: support for young adults as they navigate key life transitions such as going to school or getting a job; promote community living partnerships through expanded Host Family and Supported Independent Living programs; offer more funding for agencies and front-line workers in the community services sector; and promote innovation

and cost-efficiency so that savings can be re-invested into improving services. “Our vision for developmental services in Ontario sees people with developmental disabilities participating as fully as possible in their communities,� McMeekin said. PFO was just one organization represented in Hamilton to hear the extraordinary news. “After shaking a number of hands, the minister grabbed my arm and told me: ‘Kory, you will not be disappointed’,� Earle said. Tribute During a reception, McMeekin took time to pay tribute to Canada’s former federal Minister

of Finance, the late Jim Flaherty. “Jim was a champion for people with disabilities,� Earle said, “and I had the privilege of meeting him last December, on Dec. 3, International Day of Persons with Disabilities.� Disability was a very personal matter for Flaherty. His son John, one of three triplet boys, has an intellectual disability. “When you spoke to him, his passion for helping people with disabilities was evident,� Earle said, “and he knew there was more work that needed to be done.� Earle noted the new federal budget tabled by Flaherty in February, two months before his death, dedicated millions of dol-

lars to expand Ready, Willing and Able, an initiative that encourages employers to hire and support youth and working-age adults with developmental disabilities. Quick facts According to the Minister of Community and Social Services, there are an estimated 62,000 adults with developmental disabilities in Ontario. More than 15,000 are supported through the Passport direct funding program. Moreover, an estimated 28,000 children with developmental disabilities live in Ontario, and the Special Services at Home program currently serves more than See REACTION pg A/CP12

took place in Hamilton on Friday, April 11. In his speech, McMeekin stated the province planned to eliminate waitlists for direct funding for 21,000 people with developmental disabilities. “This will significantly increase the availability of critical daily living supports and services for thousands of individuals in Ontario, as well as their families,� Earle told the Canadian Gazette, “and it will help numerous Lanark County residents.� The PFO president said the move would create freedom – an opportunity for people. “It gives them hope.� “These are people’s lives, not numbers,� he added.

12,500. “I told the minister that he had to get rid of these numbers,� Earle said. The PFO president’s own brother Kyle is on the waitlist. “Kyle’s multiple diagnosis is schizophrenia, developmental disability and attention deficit disorder (ADD),� Earle said, “and this funding would give him the support he needs – someone to talk to, someone to help him budget, someone to help him do groceries, whatever he needs.� The idea behind PFO is of a movement of people who want all citizens to live equally in the community. “The government’s announcement is a significant step toward realizing this vision,� Earle said. Election The investment was included in the 2014

provincial budget, which was revealed last Thursday, May 1, at Queen’s Park in Toronto. PFO had hoped both opposition parties would vote for the minority Liberal government’s financial document. “This shouldn’t be a partisan issue,� Earle said. “These are people’s lives.� Unfortunately, Ontario is going to the polls on June 12. “People First of Ontario finds this disappointing and shameful,� Earle said. PFO is calling on citizens to put pressure on each leader, each candidate to make the same commitment. “People who desperately need support require advocacy,� Earle said, “and a strong, firm commitment.� “We encourage people to call their Member of Provincial Parliament,� he continued. “We have a moral obligation in this province to protect our most vulnerable.�

Metallic green is the colour of the EAB wood-boring beetle beetle, approximately 1 cm to 1.5 cm in length. It first arrived in Canada and the

United States in 2002 from its native eastern Asia home. Currently the EAB cannot be eradicated. Guest speakers will be on hand, in addition to town staff. They’ll discuss the invading insect and the threat it poses to area ash trees. Jason Pollard of the City of Ottawa’s forestry services, talks about his municipality’s experience with the EAB and strategy to date, as well as what homeowners can do. Aspen Zeppa, a forest health specialist with Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources, talks about regulated areas for the EAB. Carleton Place director of public works Dave Young speaks about the town’s EAB program on public lands.

Last year the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) detected the EAB beetle at the cell tower on Cavanagh Road and the compost yard,. The Urban Forest and River Corridor Committee, which is chaired by Jim McCready, provided the town with an action plan to deal with the EAB. It contained the following recommendations: conduct an inventory of municipal ash trees; commence an ash tree injection program in 2014 on select ash trees; develop a tree planting strategy; and develop a communication plan for the public, utilizing information that has already been established. There are approximately 350 ash trees on municipal property.

Carleton Place seniors warned about fraud by Ontario Provincial Police tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – One of the biggest crimes being committed in the country these days is fraud, and scam artists for a number of reasons repeatedly target the elderly – the chief one being their trusting nature. The Carleton Place Seniors Forum hosted its third event at Carambeck Community Centre last Tuesday morning, April 29, entitled Seniors Take Charge. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, in conjunction with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Crime Prevention Section, sponsored the free session, which, according to Coun. Doug Black, “was necessary to understand the significance of what’s going on out in the marketplace.” Black, a member of the Carleton Place Police Services Board, noted the OPP was “very eager to undertake this and other community-oriented sessions,” and “we, the Police Services Board, are equally promoting community engagement from the OPP.” Seniors Take Charge offered important information to protect against fraud, which was presented by Lanark County and Carleton Place community services officer (CSO) Sean Trahan and Carleton Place community sergeant (CS) Rob Croth. In addition, it was an opportunity for local seniors to meet new Lanark County OPP detachment commander Derek Needham. An OPP-produced video complemented the material, which spoke about

the different types of scams: mail, telephone, fax, Internet, newspaper, magazines, door-to-door, romance, and any other method of communication. In 2013 the anti-fraud centre in North Bay, formerly known as PhoneBusters, received over 40,000 complaints from people who had lost more than $60 million by way of scams. “However, this is only approximately five percent of the stuff we know about,” Trahan said. “People often don’t report fraud because they are embarrassed or afraid to bother the police.” “Don’t worry about this,” he continued. “Please, if you see something that doesn’t feel right or you receive a phone call, tell us.” Croth stated it is key for Carleton Place residents to notify the OPP, “as it helps us with our crime analysis, and creates a bigger picture of what is going on in the community.” “In the last two years, we’ve had 187 successful frauds reported to us in Carleton Place,” the CS said, “and this is significant.” Easy prey Although it is important to note fraud affects people of all ages, seniors are considered easy prey. “They have disposable income, can be reached during the day, often live by themselves, and, in most cases, are lonely, making them vulnerable to very convincing scam artists,” Trahan said. He noted the senior population continues to grow, and by the year 2021 it is estimated there will be as many seniors as there are youth.

“The bad guys know this,” Trahan said. Vigilance is the number one defence against scam artists. “Remember, you are in charge, you can take control,” Trahan said. “Predictable is preventable.” One of the top scams right now, according to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, involves a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer calling to collect fines or income taxes. “You must pay or you will be arrested,” Trahan explained, and three cases have been reported in Carleton Place in the last month. The CSO said another popular scam is the announcement of lottery or prize winnings, which require individuals to pay taxes or fees in advance to receive the money or gift. “If it’s too good to be true, it probably is,” Trahan noted. “There are no guaranteed get-rick-quick schemes.” One more fraud sees appeals for emergency financial assistance by someone claiming to be a relative who is in trouble. “This is often referred to as the grandparent scam,” Trahan said. Another con is an offer to remove viruses from a computer, which is a way for tricksters to gain access to the owner’s personal data such as credit card numbers and email, etc. Romance scams are big right now on the Internet and over the phone. Don’t give out any personal information in an email or when chatting online, and only use reputable dating websites. “Many times people will call you to

Notice of Opportunity to Comment – Draft Heritage Impact Assessment Report

ENERDU HYDROELECTRIC GENERATING STATION EXPANSION & REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT Enerdu Power Systems Inc. (Enerdu) is proposing to expand and redevelop its existing waterpower facility, the Enerdu Generating Station (GS). The existing Enerdu GS is located on the Mississippi River at 11 Main Street in the Town of Mississippi Mills, Ontario. The Enerdu project involves the replacement of the existing flashboard system with an adjustable weir, and the construction of a new powerhouse adjacent to the existing one in order to increase the generating capacity from 300 kW to approximately 950 kW. The proposed project was assessed under the Class Environmental Assessment for Waterpower Projects (October 2008, revised January 2014), and a Notice of Completion was issued on December 17, 2012. During the Notice of Completion review period, the Minister of the Environment received 16 Part II Order requests, asking that the Enerdu project be required to partake in mediation and/or prepare an individual environmental assessment. On November 18, 2013, the Minister informed Enerdu of his decision that mediation and/or an individual EA was not required, and listed specific conditions that the proponent must meet prior to undertaking detail design work and construction. In accordance with the conditions outlined in the Minister’s decision, the proponent has retained a heritage specialist to prepare a Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) for the proposed development. The Draft HIA report is being made available for public review and comment for a 31-calendar day review period. Both hard and electronic copies of the Draft HIA report will be available for review and comment from May 19 to June 18, 2014. An electronic copy of the Draft HIA report may be viewed at the BluMetric Environmental Inc. website (www.wesa.ca). Hard copies may be found during the review period at the Mississippi Mills Public Library (155 High Street, Almonte). Enerdu must receive all comments in writing regarding the Draft HIA report no later than 11:59 p.m. on June 18, 2014. Please direct any inquiries, comments or requests to: Ms. Muriel Kim Ms. Julie Harris BluMetric Environmental Inc. 3108 Carp Road, P.O. Box 430 Carp, ON, K0A 1L0 T: (613) 839-3053, ext. 261 mkim@blumetric.ca

do a survey,” Trahan said, “and once you do the survey they continue to call you back and attempt to sell you something.” Never hand over money or personal information, or sign anything “until you have done your homework,” he added. When shopping online, just because an Internet site accepts credit cards doesn’t make it legitimate. There are a number of counterfeit sites. As well, if donating to charity, remember to give wisely. “If in doubt, approach a charity directly to make your donation,” Trahan said. Too, the Canada Revenue Agency has a database of legitimate charities that can be consulted. The bottom line is not to give out any personal or financial information over email or the telephone, or in person, Croth stressed.

Scammers are imaginative and manipulative, and they use high-pressure tactics. “Remember, you can always hang up the telephone,” Trahan said. The goal of the OPP is to reduce the number of seniors who are affected by consumer fraud and fall victim to financial violence. Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and Coun. Jerry Flynn attended last week’s session, as well as the town’s 2013 Senior of the Year Carol Dryburgh. The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre can be reached at 1-888-495-8501 or www. antifraudcentre.ca. Trahan advised seniors they can learn to protect themselves against fraud by downloading a free copy of The Little Black Book of Scams from the Competition Bureau of Canada, at www.competitionbureau.gc.ca.

The Rhippo Challenge Eat it all in 20 minutes

Community – Although confined to the Rosamond Wing of the Almonte General Hospital, friends and family met to see Shelagh Rolfe receive her 50-year pin from the Captain Hooper chapter IODE May 2. Shelagh joined the IODE in Toronto in 1964, and since moving to Carleton Place, has been a member of the local chapter, and until recently took an active role in the chapter’s activities. Even though she has been in a care facility for a couple of years, Shelagh

has never lost her interest in the works of the IODE, and faithfully kept up her membership. Her husband George, daughter Susan and her two grandsons joined members of the IODE at the Rosamond Wing at the Almonte General Hospital on Friday, May 2, and shared memories and cake while Shelagh received her 50-year pin. Even though confined to a care facility, she remains a member of the Captain Hooper Chapter, and will continue to support it in spirit.

OPP lay charges over stolen property News – On April 24, at approximately 5:30 a.m. the Carleton Place Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a suspicious persons report regarding two males that were seen coming from a residence back yard on Julie Anne Crescent. One male was wearing a yellow and black jacket with turquoise ball cap. The second male was wearing red running shoes, jeans and a grey and red hooded sweatshirt. Police later located two males matching this description on Ferrill Crescent. Upon further investigation the males were arrested and police recovered property including loose change, tools, and electronic devices believed to be stolen from motor vehicles. As a result of this investigation, a 24-year-old Carleton Place has been charged with Trespassing at Night, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime,

and Breech of Recognizance. He was held in custody for a Bail Hearing in Perth Provincial Court. \ A 19-year-old Carleton Place teen has also been charged with Trespassing at Night, Possession of Property Obtained by Crime (two counts). He was later released on a Promise to Appear for Perth Provincial Court on June 9. Police would like to remind residents to “Lock it or lose it.� Please remember to lock your vehicle and remove your valuables overnight. If residents believe they are missing property, they are asked to contact the Carleton Place Detachment 1-888310-1122 with a description. If anyone has any information regarding this incident, they can contact the Carleton Place OPP at 1-888-310-1122 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Beloved husband to Ingeborg Hirsch (d. 1990) for 35 years. Survived by his son Peter and daughter-in-law Carol Mortimer, and his four grandchildren: Kirsten, Nathan, Adrian, and Thomas. Born in the Netherlands to the late Timen Schut and Trijntje (nee Kingma). Older sibling to Hendrik Willem and Theodoor Geert. Gerry was a world-renowned photogrammetrist. He was a research scientist at the National Research Council of Canada from 1952 - 1980. During his career he was instrumental in developing the mathematics and computer algorithms that were used to the create topographic maps from aerial photography. He started programming computers during the 1950’s, using the world’s first commercial computer at the University of Toronto (FERUT), and later ported his programs to a succession of IBM mainframes, and eventually to the IBM PC. The programs that he wrote were used for decades by agencies around the world and have been used to map much of the earth’s surface. In retirement Gerry became an avid hiker and crosscountry skier. He completed the Bruce Trail and much of the Appalachian trail, and went on hundreds of hikes as well as ski and canoe trips with his friends in the Wednesday Walkers and the Rideau Trail Association. He continued to hike long distances well into his 90’s. At home he continued to program his beloved computers, learning the C programming language in his eighties and rewriting all of his programs in a new language one last time. He lived independently in his own home by his own choice until he suffered a stroke in February of this year. By inclination Gerry was private and somewhat reclusive. In keeping with his temperament, family and friends are invited to take a hike in his memory along one of the many trails in the Gatineau Park. Donations in his memory to the Canadian Red Cross Society would also be appreciated. Funeral arrangements entrusted to the care of the C. R.

DEFORGE – In loving memory of our little Angel, Jamie Elizabeth Deforge, who was a Granddaughter, daughter, and a sister, who passed away 12 years ago, May 10, 2002. This day will be a celebration Of the short time you were here. You will always be remembered With great love and many tears. But to only feel pain and sorrow Would not be fair to you. Your life meant so much more to us, More than words could ever say. You were here so briefly, I know you knew All the ways you’ve touched Our world and our hearts And everyone who knew you Since the day God called you home. Now our child, and sister, you’re an Angel With your heavenly Father above, We see not only what we’ve lost But our capacity of love. There will always be a big void In our lives and a hole in our Hearts that will never heal. Our souls will grieve forever. Will we forget or stop loving you? No! Not now… not ever. As this day is upon us, Oh, how our hearts still hurt. But, even as we mourn your death, We will always celebrate your birth. It was, and always will be, the happiest days of our lives. We will always love you and remember you in our hearts forever. You are never far away. Love Grandma (Clarice) Duncan, Mom and Dad, Douglas, Jenna and, Jamie, And Michelle and Chris

OBITUARY

HENDRY Winifred “Win” The family of Win Hendry (Baigent: nee Holmes), predeceased by her husbands Alexander (Sandy) Hendry and Harry Baigent, sadly announce her passing at the Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, BC, on December 21, 2013 in her 94th year. In 1954 she started her 31 year nursing career at the Rideau Regional Centre, retiring from the Smiths Falls Hospital in 1985, where she created many lasting friendships. After retirement, she moved to Victoria in 1997 and enjoyed her new home. Loved walking by the sea shore, greatly admired all the early show of flowers and delighted in the balmy weather of the west coast. She was a keen participant at her local community centre, enjoying her darts and crib games and maintaining an active social life. Over the years life presented her with many challenges, but she never lost her love of life and appreciation of all the positive things around her. Her favourite line everyday was “I always count my blessings”, and she always took the best of what each day offered her. She is survived by her sons Tony, Bernie, and Richard Baigent and daughter Leanne Kapostins (Hendry), 10 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at the St. Francis de Sales Church in Smiths Falls at 10:00 a.m. Saturday June 21, 2014. Cremation has taken place. Interment to follow in the St. Francis Cemetery. All are invited to share in a Celebration of Life at the Hanley Hall from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to your favourite charity.

Tell them how much we miss them and how we miss their cheerful smile. Don’t rush away please, won’t you all stay and chat with Ann, Sharlene and Brenda awhile. The vows we shared so long ago, Still guide me every day. They bind me with love and strength. To face what comes my way. Daughters like you is rare indeed, my daughters and my friends. I’m blessed that you all were by my side with love that has no end. You walk beside down a peaceful road. Their voice is the wind and rain. For the magic power of memory, gives them back to us again. Just think of them as living in the lives of those they touched. For nothing loved is ever lost, And they were loved so much. Loved and sadly missed, Mom (Marjorie Long) & Murray Long, Purdy family, Porteous family, LeBelle family, Davis family.

GORDON - In memory of Edwin, dear father and grandfather who passed away as a result of a tragic car accident on May 5, 1984. 30 years have passed and our hearts still sore, As time rolls on we miss you more, There is someone who thinks of you often, But tries to be brave and content, It is not the tears at the moment shed, That tells how the heart is torn, But the on seen tears, in the after years, Your welcome smile and pleasant face, No one can fill that vacant place, Always in our thoughts, Mary, Bernie and families.

Buchanan - In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather, Derrill who passed away May 2, 2011. We often think of days gone by when we were all together, A shadow o’er our lives has cast, Our loved one gone forever. You’re not forgotten, Derrill Nor ever shall you be; As long as life and memory last, We shall remember thee. Forever in our hearts; Phyllis, Steve, Leslie, Abigail, Jillian, Sarah, Tracy, Paige, Jeff and Amanda.

HALL, David M. – February 17, 1939May 4, 2009. A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled, We who loved him, sadly miss him, But will be forever in our hearts. Love, Debbie and the Lewis family

Sports – Stephen Baylis has scored the two biggest goals in what has been an incredible season to date for the Carleton Place Canadians. His most important tally came Sunday afternoon, May 4, in Saint-Jerome, Quebec. The 19-year-old Carleton Place native triggered a shorthanded marker at 7:17 of the third period. It turned out to be the game winner as the Canadians defeated host SaintJerome Panthers in the championship game of the Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian championship tournament. Dylan Gareau sealed a 3-1 victory when he scored into the empty Panthers’ goal with 44 seconds left in regulation time to send Carleton Place to the RBC Cup in Vernon, British Columbia. That fiveteam competition opens Saturday with Canadians taking on host Vernon Vipers of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). Carleton Place might not have made it to suburban Montreal for the annual Fred Page event if it hadn’t been for local hero Baylis. The six-foot, 195 pound left winger netted another vital goal, this time in Pembroke on April 4. On that occasion Baylis tallied unassisted early in the second overtime period to give his team a 4-3 triumph, tying their Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) semi-final set against Pembroke Lumber Kings at three games apiece. Two days later Canadians won the seventh and deciding game 5-2 on home ice. They went on to down Smiths Falls Bears in five games in the CCHL championship series, winning the first Junior A hockey title in Carleton Place history. The team claimed the BogartNielsen Cup in just their fifth

Latina with just 3:19 left in regulation. But as they have done all season Canadians’ excellent penalty kill took over. They faced a six-on-four situation when, with more than two minutes remaining and Latina in the penalty box, Panthers elected to lift their goaltender in favour of an extra attacker. Outstanding work by McVeigh, Baylis and the defence held SaintJerome at bay. In the final minute a long shot by Carleton Place just missed finding the empty Panthers’ cage. Then, with 16 seconds showing on the clock, Gareau, a late season addition from Kanata of the CCHL, converted a Latina pass into the empty net marker that clinched a big win for Carleton Place. The home team’s frustration boiled over and with only seven seconds remaining the referee handed out nine penalties, six going to the Panthers. Samuel Aquin of Saint-Jerome picked up three of the infractions including a minor and major for cross checking behind the head. Tempers cooled and when the final buzzer sounded Canadians’ mobbed goalie Guillaume Therien. The Montreal native made 22 saves to help preserve the key triumph. At the other end of the ice Philippe Gingras kicked out 26 shots in a losing cause. Outside of the late game rough stuff there were 10 other minor infractions signaled, seven of those going to the visitors. Some Carleton Place fans were particularly vocal in their condemnation of the officiating. Still, it was Canadians’ contingent who celebrated when the game ended. An estimated 250 Carleton Place fans were among the 1,833 who paid to watch the Fred Page Cup finale. Included was a bus load of 50 fans that made the just over two hour journey to Saint-Jerome.

Thursday afternoon Canadians got a pair of second period markers from McVeigh as they doubled Granby Inouk, the Quebec Junior AAA champions, 4-2. Almonte’s Tyson Stewart had a big game scoring once and setting up a pair. On Friday afternoon Carleton Place edged Truro (Nova Scotia) Bearcats, the Maritime Junior A Hockey League champions, 2-1. Andy Sturtz, the scoring champion and MVP in the CCHL this season, netted his second of the tournament and Latina fired the game winner early in the third period. Defenceman Owen Stewart earned assists on both goals. In the tournament semi-final Saturday, May 3, Saint-Jerome downed Truro 5-2 to make it to the championship game against Carleton Place. Canadians are guaranteed four games in the round-robin portion of the upcoming RBC tournament in Vernon. Vipers have not played a game since April 15 after falling in four straight games to Coquitlam Express in the BCHL championship series. Besides the host team the other three RBC participants will be Toronto Lakeshore Patriots of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, Dauphin Kings of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League and Yorkton Terriers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. All of the teams, except Vipers, were winners of regional competitions which concluded last week. Four teams will eventually qualify for the RBC semi-finals which will be played on Saturday, May 17. The final, which will be televised nationally on TSN, will be on Sunday, May 18. All games in the competition will be played at Kal Tire Place in Vernon. Only two eastern Ontario teams have ever won the national title. The former Rockland Nationals hosted and won the tournament in 1976, defeating Spruce Grove (Alberta) Mets in the final. The most recent winner was perennial CCHL champion Pembroke who captured the 2011 event played in Camrose, Alberta. For complete details about the RBC visit the website: www.hockeycanada.ca.

Almonte Lawn Bowling Club begins new season with May 10 open house

Sports – The sport of bowls, or lawn bowling, goes back in history to ancient civilizations in China, Egypt and Rome. The Aztecs, Maoris, Polynesians and North American natives all played some form of the game. Famous in our recent history was Sir Francis Drake, who was lawn bowling on the sward of Plymouth when a runner informed him of the arrival of the Spanish fleet. Sir Francis took time to finish his game of bowls before leading England to polish off the invading armada. Today, lawn bowling is still a very popular sport and is practised throughout the Commonwealth and many other countries. Canada is no exception and Ontario, through its Ontario Lawn Bowls Association, leads the pack. Almonte Lawn Bowling Club (ALBC), entering its 103rd year of play, is a member of the Ontario association. The ALBC season begins with a grand open house on Saturday, May 10. Members of the public and all former and present ALBC members are invited to attend.

Carleton Place

& District Memorial Hospital -

Ask Me If I’ve Washed My Hands

On May 5, Carleton Place District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) celebrated the World Health Organization’s Save Lives: Clean Your Hands Day - reinforcing the hospital’s commitment to rigorous infection control practices.

In June, CPDMH will partner with Public Health Ontario to present a poster at a conference in Halifax. It will show how rural hospitals are developing ‘just clean your hands’ programs.

As part of the day’s celebrations, CPDMH’s Hand Hygiene committee developed a poster showing the key handwashing moments when caring for a patient. There were also games and prizes to recognize staff who were “caught in the act” practicing proper handwashing techniques.

“We are committed to public accountability and transparency surrounding patient safety,” notes Toni Surko, CEO. ‘It is priority #1.”

Clean hands are the most effective way to stop the spread of infection. “Patients and visitors are encouraged to use the hand sanitizer dispensers located throughout the hospital,” notes Linda Howard, Infection Prevention and Control Nurse. “And don’t forget to ask your healthcare providers if they’ve washed their hands too.”

Join us for Community Health Fest Saturday, May 24 from 9 to 2 Carleton Place Arena

Hand hygiene is a key part of CPDMH’s Quality Improvement Plan and compliance is monitored and reported to the provincial Ministry of Health and on the CPDMH website.

with Clean Eating and Active Living Benefits of Circuit

The Secret to

Glowing Skin

Training

Beauty is from the inside out and the secret to glowing skin is about nourishing your body. Our top 5 tips to glowing skin are:

Cardiovascular fitness is one of the major benefits of circuit training. Your heart rate remains elevated and sustained above resting level throughout the workout. Both your lungs and hearts efficiency can improve with this training method.

1. Eat Low Glycemic Foods: A high glycemic diet tends to spike blood sugar and insulin which can contribute to acne breakouts. Stick to a whole foods, plant-rich diet low in processed food, sugar and caffeine.

2. Avoid Food Sensitivities & Allergies: There is a strong link between high dairy consumption and skin maladies such as acne and eczema.

3. Sleep On It: Getting at least 8 hours of restful sleep a night will help repair and restore skin; the hours of sleep achieved before midnight are the most effective.

4. Get Your Omegas: Omega 3 fatty acids are inflammation busters and skin lubricators, the perfect ingredient for radiant skin!

Preparation Time: 5 min | Serves: 4 | Serving Size: 1 Fillet 2 lbs salmon, cut into 4 pieces 1 tsp Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing Peppery Mango Salsa 1 small red onion, diced 2 limes, freshly juiced 1/4 cup yellow and red 3 tbsp olive oil peppers, diced 1 avocado, peeled and sliced 2 tbsp zesto pesto or Sea salt and freshly your favorite pesto ground pepper to taste ¼ cup mangos, diced TM

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place salmon fillets on a parchment paper lined baking tray and drizzle with Farm Boy Lemon Garlic Dressing. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tender. Peppery Mango Salsa: combine onion, yellow & red peppers, mangos, lime juice, olive oil and pesto in a small bowl and mix well. Serve salmon, layer avocado slices on top and garnish with salsa. Use sea salt and pepper to taste.

This form of training also promotes fat loss. Circuit training provides more fat and calorie burning than traditional weight lifting programs. More work is performed in less time, which results in greater caloric expenditure during the workout. Lean muscle mass is also improved which in turn increases your metabolism and allows you to burn more fat throughout the day. The benefits of circuit training are endless, it is a great way to lose fat mass quickly, build strength and tone, as well as improve your heart and lungs.

TM

5. Detoxify: Cleaning from the inside out, helps to keep your hormones in check and a glow to your body and energy!

CPHS hosts Relay for Life yard sale fundraiser this Saturday Community – Carleton Place High School (CPHS) will be hosting their fifth Relay for Life event on Friday, May 23 to Saturday, May 24 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Relay for Life is a noncompetitive, inspirational, 12hour overnight fundraiser that brings communities together to celebrate life and join the fight against cancer. Relay for Life symbolizes the journey of a cancer patient fighting the disease that never sleeps. The fundraising and awareness event has been organized in more than 20 countries and more than 500 communities in Canada alone. This year’s Relay for Life event has been organized by more than 20 creative and devoted committee members to ensure the night is a true success. We have organized multiple activities and live performances throughout the night to keep everyone energized. With the theme, Holidays, we encourage teams to dress as their favourite holiday in support. Teams of 10 to 15 students raise money as a group and in-

dividually to help the Canadian Cancer Society save lives and support those battling cancer. Each team member makes a commitment to raise at least $100. This year, relay teams will include both intermediate and secondary students giving everyone a chance to join the battle against cancer. With more than 200 participants including teachers and committee members, the school’s fundraising goal is $19,500. To help us achieve this goal the committee will be holding a yard sale fundraiser on Saturday, May 10 at Carleton Place High School (215 Lake Avenue West). All members of the community are welcome to come shop and/or make donations. One of the most important things about Relay for Life is that it is a celebration of life. To celebrate those who have won the battle against cancer, CPHS will be holding a Survivors’ Banquet at the school from 6 to 7 p.m. the night of the event. Once the event begins, we honour the survivors by hav-

ing them run the first lap and start off the night. A luminary ceremony will also take place to honour everyone whose lives have been affected by cancer. Anyone can buy a luminary for $5 to light during the ceremony. The luminary ceremony will take place at 9 p.m. the night of the event. This is a special way to honour those who have lost the battle against cancer, celebrate those who have won and stand by those still fighting. Relay for Life isn’t just for the school, anyone can join the fight. The event will be open to the public from 7 to 10 p.m. We encourage everyone in the community to come out and support us, make donations or help in any way you wish. If you, or someone you know is a survivor and would like to celebrate with us, please contact us. Join us on May 23 to celebrate, remember and fight back! For more information, contact CPHS at 613-257-2720 and ask to speak with Mrs. Johns or Miss Read. Submitted by Carleton Place High School.

Art in the Attic show and sale returns to Almonte May 9 to 11 We will be paying homage to mothers by dedicating a special display to ‘Celebrating Mothers’, so bring your mother out to the show.

At the Art in the Attic show and sale this Friday, May 9 to Sunday, May 11, two-dozen artists from the Almonte and Area Artists Association will be putting their emotive creations on display with our special guest artist, sculptor Dale Dunning (Lost and Foundry Studio). You can even have a sneak preview of the artists’ works. Since mid-April, many of the stores in downtown Almonte have assisted in promoting the show by allowing members of the Almonte and Area Artists Association to display a piece of artwork in their store front

windows. These stores will also be contributing to your “artful” experience on the AITA weekend. Avenir Design Studio will be putting on a fashion show at AITA at 4 p.m. on May 10. Several stores will also be offering discounts to AITA visitors to help you extend your experience in Almonte’s authentic natural setting. Whilst enjoying the art at AITA, you will receive a package with a map and promotions from participating stores. You will be encouraged to then follow Almonte’s Riverwalk which starts right at Almonte Old Town Hall and continues to the other end of Mill Street, ending in a breathtaking lookout at the site of the old Victoria Woolen Mill. Then the map route will take you back up Mill Street to experience the unique shops and restaurants of a small town rich with history and charm. Make it an “artful” small town escape by coming to Art In The Attic during Mother’s Day weekend. The grand opening takes place Friday, May 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. and the show will also be open Saturday, May 10 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday, May 11 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Thank You

The Carleton Place Environmental Advisory Committee (CPEAC) held our 5th annual Recycling Day on Saturday, April 26th. TTER collected over 21 tons of electronics and electrical appliances while RONA collected 3,270 gallons of paint, 600 pounds of batteries and 350 CFBs. CAA North & East Ontario collected auto and small engine batteries, tested auto batteries and sold and installed one new battery. The lucky winner of our free rain barrel draw was Mark MacHardy of Carleton Place. We would like to extent our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated sponsors, RONA, TTER, Tim Hortons and CAA North & East Ontario, our volunteers, Wayne Cavanagh from Jack FM and to the community of Carleton Place and area. Together we participated in another very successful community event which will have a large environmental impact. R0012680700_0508

Community – Viewing and buying art is a personal and emotional experience. There is no mathematical formula that explains why one person may be drawn to the powerful piece of a well-known artists whilst another is enthralled with a piece from an unknown. But that is not surprising; emotions are at the heart of the creative process. At the Art in the Attic show and sale (AITA) this Friday, May 9 to Sunday, May 11, twodozen artists from Almonte and Area Artists Association will be putting their emotive creations on display with our special guest artist, sculptor Dale Dunning (Lost and Foundry Studio). The talents of Almonte District High School art students will also be shown, perhaps a budding Picasso in their midst. There will be photography, intarsia, textile art, and artwork in almost every media on a very wide range of subjects – surely there will be a piece that speaks to you! And at the grand opening on Friday evening, the Humm staff will be selecting the pieces that speak to them. AITA takes place on one of our more “emotional” weekends – Mother’s Day weekend.

Studio Theatre presents Little Women, the Musical May 22 to June 1 By JOAN SONNENBURG

Arts – One of the most beloved stories in American literature comes to life as a musical this spring in Studio Theatre’s production of Little Women, the Musical. This timeless, captivating story of family love, laughter, and heartache come to the stage in a Broadway adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s novel, with music by Jason Howland and Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein. It will be directed by C. Lee Bates. This will be C. Lee’s second musical. Last year, she brought us the quirky and entertaining The Second Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. It was a test case to see if a musical could be done with somewhat limited resources and how it would be received. It was a success on both counts. This year she has chosen to direct Little Women, the Musical. She explains why. “Little Women is a classic tale that transcends the 49th parallel (it is set in Civil War America) because it is a story about the strength of family and about finding the courage to overcome adversity and follow one’s dreams,” she says. “It has strong female characters and charming, engaging male counterparts. The music is truly spectacular. It is a relatively small cast musical (10 characters). Perhaps most importantly, I believe it is a musical that will appeal to Perth audiences; it is family-friendly, warm, humorous, and poignant.” Producing any play presents challenges, but producing a musical has its own special demands. For one thing, royalties are much steeper and some materials such as scripts and scores have to be rented. The cast must be made up not only of strong actors, but of competent singers as well. Studio Theatre has always concentrated on traditional stage plays and so has no stable of singers. However, there are many groups in this area who do specialize in musicals: Mississippi Mudds in Carleton Place, Perth Community Choir and Orion Theatre in Perth, Station Theatre in Smiths Falls, not to mention Orpheus in Ottawa. The

Little Women, the Musical, a take on one of the most beloved stories in American literature, opens at the Studio Theatre in Perth on Thursday, May 22. Above, Jacki LeClerc (Aunt March/Marmee Swing), Barb Guthrie (Aunt March) and Courtney Mason (Josephine “Jo” March) listen, enraptured by Jo’s reading of her “blood-and-guts” melodrama in a rehearsal for the production. problem is, these actors are in much demand and often not available. Furthermore, an orchestra and music director must be found, and that too is a challenge. However, C. Lee has gathered a

strong cast and crew locally and from other sources. Little Women requires a relatively small cast for a musical, one of the features that attracted C. Lee. Of those ten,

only one – Barb Guthrie who alternates with Jackie LeClerc playing Aunt March – is a Studio Theatre regular. The four March sisters are played by Courtney Mason, (Jo) Mary Hills (Meg), Lindsay

Rewi (Beth) and Emma Houlahan (Amy) who also appeared in Spelling Bee. Julie Kevan and Jackie LeClerc alternate as Marmee; Andrew McDougall is Jo’s friend and mentor Professor Bhaer; Kyle Booth is Laurie, the boy next door; Justin Hills is John Brooke, Laurie’s tutor and Meg’s suitor; and David Wright is Mr. Lawrence, Laurie’s grandfather. Mark Bailey has organized an outstanding 11-piece orchestra and rearranged portions of the music to suit their instrumentation. Laurel Tye is the music director, looking after the vocal coaching and conducting the orchestra. A large crew headed by producer Barb Guthrie and stage manager Joan Frommer handle the complex set which must include multiple changes of scene from the March house to the boarding house n New York where Jo stays. The set is designed by C. Lee herself. C. Lee is confident that audiences will love this show. She says, “The cast of Little Women is stellar and the orchestra and music are sensational. Audiences will be enthralled by the vocal and orchestral performances, moved by the acting and thoroughly entertained by the story and the music.” Little Women, the Musical opens Thursday, May 22 and runs May 23, 24, 30 and 31 at 8 p.m. and May 24, 25, 31 and June 1 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance, available at The Book Nook, and $22 at the door or at Tickets Please (613-267-2350) in Perth. Phone or credit card orders can be made through Tickets Please, 613-485-3434 or order online at www.ticktsplease.ca. There is a special rate of $10 for children under 12 and a two-for-one special on opening night. Come to the play Thursday, May 22 and bring a companion for free. (Season ticket holders can bring a second person free for that night only.) For further information, call the Studio Theatre box office at 613-267-7469 – please note this number does not take ticket orders) – or visit the website at www.studiotheatreperth.com. Joan Sonnenburg is a member of the Studio Theatre’s promotions committee.

It’s a no-brainer that to show your mom how much you love her you could shower her with gifts: flowers, chocolates, a gift certificate for a spa, or a new book she’s been waiting to read. But if you really want to touch her heart, don’t forget to give a little of the most precious gift all: your time. All the finest gifts in the world could never replace your presence. You could invite her to have brunch at her favourite restaurant or spend some time with her preparing some home cooked meals to freeze. You could take her for a walk in the park where you used to go together when you were young, which is sure to evoke many happy memories for both of you. Leaf through old photo albums together or ask her to tell you about the happiest times of her life. Laughter and even a few tears will likely accompany the stories. Your mother may need help with work around her home. Take advantage of her special day to do some helpful chores. You could clean the outsides of windows or help her do a bit of spring cleaning. No matter what your plans are for this May 12, be sure to spend some quality time with the person who raised you. In fact, why not make a resolution to set aside an entire day for your mom every year on Mother’s Day. She de- All the gifts in the world can’t replace your presence on her special day.

Ten gift ideas for ten styles of mother If you’d like to branch out and be a bit more creative with your Mother’s Day gift this year, here are gift ideas for ten different types of mother. 1. The food-loving mom: a gift basket that showcases local artisanal food products, such as cheeses, breads, and wines. It will be like a mini-adventure into the culinary world, and it will taste great too! 2. The philanthropic mom: a gift made in her name to a charitable cause close to her heart. 3. The Zen mom: a soothing object such as a coffee table fountain, meditation pillow, or a bonsai. 4. The travelling mom: a book all about her dream destination. 5. The busy mom: a homemade gift certificate offering to do a chore of her choice, such as taking her car to the garage for her, vacuuming her entire house, or de-junking the garage. 6. The sporty mom: a yearly membership at a sports club or a pass for the hiking trails in a federal or provincial park in her area. 7. The fashionista mom: a trendy accessory that she wouldn’t dare to buy on her own, such as a snazzy necklace, funky belt, or Jackie-O sunglasses. 8. The mom who loves to pamper herself: a basket of beauty products, such as a home spa kit, makeup, or a skin care system. 9. The green mom: a domestic composter to help her reduce the amount of garbage she sends to the dump. Or, you could offer to turn over her compost pile for her. 10. The cocooning mom: a cozy dressing gown or a good book to read in the late spring sun.

1967 Camaro has been owned by the same family since it was brand new! Lifestyle – A letter arrived from Brian McCullough in Ottawa: “Hi Bill, my 1967 Camaro was purchased new from Rideau Motor Sales in Smiths Falls on November 30, 1966, by my father, J. S. McDougall, proprietor of McDougall Pharmacy, who later passed it on to me. Although Dad bought the car, I drove it most of the time. It still has an OPP Safety Check sticker on the window when I as a teenager in 1967 must have looked suspicious and they pulled me over. The OPP stopped issuing stickers that year.

“When I joined the OPP in 1970, my parents were wintering in Florida with my mom’s car and the Camaro was stored from October to April. At that time, I purchased my own vehi-

cle and moved to northern Ontario. When my mother could no longer drive, my dad turned the Camaro over to me. Both my parents have long since passed on and I treasure

the car as a keepsake, not to mention the times I had driving the car in my late teens. “The current mileage is 67,599 miles. The only time the engine has been opened was when I had to change the rocker cover gaskets. The car still has the aircraft cables that went on as a GM recall to reinforce the engine mounts. Later this spring, it will go to a local garage called K.A.R.S. owned and operated by Jim McMurtry, a Camaro restoration specialist for 25 years. “The car still has both sets of original GM keys and the plastic folder containing the original 1967 Camaro Owners Manual with VIN 126950 and Engine V1031MF noted on the front cover in pen, along with other original papers from the dealer. This vehicle has not been winter driven since the spring of 1970 and it has always been stored inside. It has never been in a serious collision, raced, or stolen. The vehicle has always had regular maintenance performed by qualified technicians.

“Since I acquired the vehicle in 1998, the car has received an original Butternut Yellow repaint, original windshield removed and resealed, new GM gas tank, radiator saddle, inner and outer front fenders, radiator, heater core, fuel pump, rear leaf springs, shocks, original front seat covers, window felts, GM Body by Fisher sill plates, complete exhaust system, new floor with original carpeting, new fuel line, new brake lines, major engine tune-up, and four new Uniroyal Tiger Paw P205-75R 14 whitewall tires.” The Camaro first came out in 1967 as GM’s answer to the Mustang. The Camaro was an instant hit and has remained so to this day. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico. ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Community – Now that day time temperatures have risen above 4°C ticks have once again become active. Please remember to be tick smart. Dressing with light-coloured clothing makes adult ticks and nymphs (small stage of the tick), easier to see when they are on you. Always remember to do a tick check when you return inside. Thoroughly check your body for ticks and nymphs and promptly remove and dispose of them. Have someone check you from behind if possible or take a quick shower to help remove any unattached ticks. It is important to know that Lyme disease transmission depends on the length of time the tick is attached. If

the tick or nymph is removed within 24 hours of when it may have attached to you, then you have a minimal risk of acquiring Lyme disease. If the tick or nymph has been attached for longer than 24 hours and does carry the bacteria, you are at an increased risk of getting Lyme disease. When a tick has been attached to you greater than 24 hours and it looks like it has fed and is enlarged, it is recommended that you contact your health care provider and advise them of this. Remember, not all ticks carry the bacteria. Submission of the tick or nymph to the health unit will not affect your treatment. Identification

and results of the tick submission will take up to three months. Tick submission to the health unit is for surveillance, not disease diagnosis. If you have been bitten by a tick, watch for symptoms of Lyme disease: bulls eye rash around a bite area, headache, fever and muscle/joint pain. Consult your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. For more information about ticks and Lyme disease, contact the health unit on the web at www.healthunit. org, call 1-800-660-5853 or like the health unit Facebook page for important public health updates.

Web slinger in perfect form for latest ‘Amazing’ Spider-Man sequel My Take MARK HASKINS

a new villain calling himself Electro (Jamie Foxx) has arrived on the scene. Electro is the living embodiment of power, and he has a real hate on for the web slinger. Somehow Peter has to find a way to protect Gwen, solve the mystery of his parents, help Harry, and save the city from Electro. This time it may be too much. I had my issues with Amazing Spider-Man 1, but I admit it was well done. Amazing Spider-Man 2 on the other hand is the film I’ve been waiting for. Visually it’s mind blowing. When you see Spider-Man swinging over New York it’s exhilarating. When you see Electro power up for the first time it’s terrifying. Story wise Marc Webb will have you on the edge of your seat, he will break your heart, and he will make you cheer as he tells a Spider-Man story to rival any Spider-Man story.

The third piece of the puzzle is the cast, and it fits perfectly. Sally Field, Colm Feore, Embeth Davidtz, Campbell Scott are fantastic. When I heard Jamie Foxx would be playing Electro I was thrilled. I knew he’d be great, and I was right. As Harry, Dane DeHaan is intelligent, driven and even ruthless. As the Green Goblin he’s on the cusp of greatness. Emma Stone is dazzling. Gwen is the light in Peter’s life. She’s smart, fearless, and passionate. Stone is all of that in a performance so complete it leaves you speechless. Spider-Man is my favourite superhero, and Andrew Garfield has become my favourite actor. Garfield has a complete understanding of what drives Peter Parker to be Spider-Man. he gives such a powerful performance it will be etched in your mind and heart long after you’ve left the theater. Amazing Spider-Man 2 is what Spider-Man is all about. They’ve truly captured the adventure, the heroics and even the tragedy that makes up much of Peter’s life. They’ve nailed it, and I can’t wait for number three. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Google’s self-driving car pilot test passes major milestone streets in Mountain View before we tackle another town, but thousands of situations on city streets that would have stumped us two years ago can now be navigated autonomously.� Several auto manufacturers have also been running various street tests of auto-piloted vehicles in different locations around the globe. Most of these earlytechnology stakeholders expect to see this feature available to the public within four or five years. The foothold, in terms of collision mitigation and lane departure control systems, has already been established in many different models now on the streets. I recently received an email from a resident from Quebec with a story on his BMW. He took his BMW x328 (that he thought was still within terms of the base fouryear warranty) into his selling/ servicing dealership for a maintenance inspection. Apparently the warranty end-date was misread and the vehicle was actually beyond the four-year term but with relatively low mileage (47,500 km). During the inspection the techs found an oil leak from a cracked engine valve cover. The dealer told him BWM would cover the cost of the part, but he would be responsible for the labour charges ($624). He agreed and the repair was completed. Soon after, a series of warning lights came on our BMW owner’s

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

dash (coolant level, anti-lock brakes and the 4WD system). Another appointment and diagnosis and he was told the coolant level sensor required replacement as well as the 4WD transfer-case motor. He again agreed and once more BMW covered the part (this time the 4WD motor only) and our owner paid out $734. After all this the owner still had a sour taste over the repairs and asked my opinion as to whether or not he should contact BMW’s head offices in Europe for some further consideration. He felt that the rocker cover was probably cracked before the warranty’s expiry, that his dealership gave him the wrong info on the warranty expiry date, and that the last two failures represented a poorer quality than BMW was known for, specifically in light of the relatively low mileage. I passed his email (with his permission) along to the media office of BMW Canada and asked for a response. Their representatives reviewed the repairs with the servicing dealership and responded that they believed their original offer to cover the cost of the parts

involved was more than fair in regards to the fact that the warranty had indeed expired. Without any documentation or reports it would be hard to pinpoint the exact time of the various failures. They also noted that complete warranty information including expiry date is supplied to every BMW purchaser. About the only morals of the story I can offer for our BMW owner is to know when your ve-

hicle’s warranty is set to expire and have a complete inspection done before that date. They commented that any communication of this nature that was forwarded to BMW’s global HQ would be sent to their Canadian office.

Lifestyle – Google’s self-driving car pilot test recently passed a major milestone. Chris Urmson, director, Self-Driving Car Project reported that their fleet of driverless cars have passed the 700,000 mile mark. Of great importance to the future of this technology is that most of the latest miles have been on the urban streets of Mountain View California, Google’s home town. As Urmson put it in a recent blog, “A mile of city driving is much more complex than a mile of freeway driving, with hundreds of different objects moving according to different rules of the road in a small area. We’ve improved our software so it can detect hundreds of distinct objects simultaneously – pedestrians, buses, a stop sign held up by a crossing guard, or a cyclist making gestures that indicate a possible turn. A self-driving vehicle can pay attention to all of these things in a way that a human physically can’t – and it never gets tired or distracted.� “As it turns out, what looks chaotic and random on a city street to the human eye is actually fairly predictable to a computer. As we’ve encountered thousands of different situations, we’ve built software models of what to expect, from the likely (a car stopping at a red light) to the unlikely (blowing through it). We still have lots of problems to solve, including teaching the car to drive more

OPP supports collection of unused prescription medications May 10 lead to prescription drug abuse. Police agencies and health organizations are working together again this year to fight against this public health and safety issue. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will be participating in a province-wide initiative that will provide residents an

opportunity to dispose of old and unused prescription medications. Prescription Drug Drop Off Day will be held on Saturday, May 10. The OPP is making more than sixty detachment locations available so that the public can simply and safely dispose of unwanted, unused or expired medica-

tions without exiting their vehicles. Officers and volunteers will be on hand to take the medications from community members on May 10 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The public is also reminded that they can drop off any unused medications at any time to their local pharmacist.

Be sure to find exactly the right spot to plant new trees this spring cut down on heat gain, but lose their leaves in winter to let sunlight enter your home and maximize solar warmth and light. Place them to the south and the southwest to provide shade from late afternoon/evening sun. 3. A good windbreak includes a mixture of coniferous trees, deciduous

shrubs, evergreen shrubs and perennial plants. The right combination planted tightly together can thoroughly shield your home from cold winter gusts. Even a single row of white pine trees can reduce the speed of wind hitting your home by 60 per cent. 4. Low-growing evergreen shrubs

More than 100 new jobs created for youth in Leeds-Grenville gain the skills, job experience and abilities they need to make a successful transition to the workplace. YES includes the Skills Link and Career Focus programs and the Canada Summer Jobs initiative, which creates thousands of job opportunities for students every summer. Canada Summer Jobs provides funding to not-forprofit organizations, publicsector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create summer job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next school year. Since it began in 2007, Canada Summer Jobs has helped more than 260,000 students. Skills Link helps youth facing barriers to employment – including single parents, youth with disabilities, young newcomers and youth in rural and remote areas – to develop the skills and gain the experience needed to find a job or the confidence to return to school. Since 2006, Skills Link has helped more than 179,000 youth. Career Focus helps postsecondary graduates transition to the labour market through paid internships and helps to provide youth with the information and experience they need to make informed career decisions, find a job and/or pursue advanced studies. Since 2006, the Career Focus initiative has helped over 26,000 youth acquire skills needed to join the job market. Through Economic Action Plan 2014, the federal government is supporting up to 3,000 internships in high-demand fields and up to 1,000 internships in small and medium-sized businesses.

In 2014, the Canada Summer Jobs program is expected to create approximately 35,000 jobs across Canada, while helping employers address skills shortages. “Creating summer jobs for students benefits not only youth and employers, but also local economies across the country.
