EMC Events – There is strength in numbers and nowhere is that more evident than with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraiser. Locally, the rebirth of the Smiths Falls Relay for Life kicks off this Friday evening, June 7 at 7 p.m. at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. In nearby Almonte, the Mississippi Mills Relay for Life in Gemmill Park will also unfold that night, with both events concluding at 7 a.m. Saturday morning, June 8. Over the course of those 12 hours, teams will come together to walk and run the track, honouring those who have lost their lives to cancer and celebrating the ones who have beat it. This is the signature annual event for the Canadian Cancer Society and funds raised will benefit the local Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit, based in Perth. This year’s edition of the Relay is particularly poignant as 2013 marks the 75th anniversary of the society. “We want everyone in the community to come and visit us (in Smiths Falls and Mississippi Mills) noted Amanda Gifford, fundraiser coordinator of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. “See what Relay for Life is all about and hopefully next year they’ll be so moved by the event they’ll want to put in a team.” Gifford indicated that the opening ceremonies for both Relay for Life events begin at 7 p.m., followed by the Survivor Walk and the parade of teams. Once the sun goes down, the track will be illuminated in light during the emotional luminary ceremony, set to take place at 10 p.m. Gifford said monies brought in from the Relay for Life will go towards cancer research, as well as local support services, including transportation and peer support programs.

EMC News – Two people were involved in a serious head-on collision that occurred Monday just after 1 p.m. at the corner of Wolf Grove Road and Concession 8 in Mississippi Mills. The driver of one vehicle needed to be extricated by firefighters at the scene and airlifted to a hospital for immediate

medical care. Fire chief Art Brown of the Mississippi Mills Fire Department said the man appeared to be semi-conscious and in critical condition. Brown said the driver of the second vehicle appeared to have a broken leg and some gashes, but was otherwise responsive. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. While the collision is still

under investigation, the police at the scene said the two vehicles, an SUV and a truck, were travelling in opposite directions when the collision occurred. It is believed that the SUV drifted over the centre line and into oncoming traffic. Attempts were made to contact the OPP but calls hadn’t been returned as of press time.

Beckwith Heritage Days Saturday By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – If you don’t remember history accurately, how can you learn? Established more than a decade ago, Beckwith Heritage Days celebrates the township’s rich agriculture heritage and traditions. This year, the popular event takes place on Saturday, June 8 at Beckwith Park, and promises a fun-filled day for young and old. Rain or shine festivities begin with the most important meal of the day – breakfast.

The Girl Guides will serve up pancakes from 9 to 11 a.m. For the children, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo in Ottawa is hitting the road and joins the outdoor affair for an 11 a.m. show. The adults will enjoy performances by Corkery Road (12 to 2 p.m.) and Jamie McMunn & Friends from 2 to 6 p.m. Don’t miss the milking and sheep sheering demonstrations between 12 and 2 p.m. All day festivities: antique and modern machinery display, livestock, craft market, children’s games, barbecue, face painting, petting zoo, pony rides, giant bouncy slide and more.

Dinner – roast beef on a bun – will be served from 5 to 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the municipal office. The beach volleyball tournament returns. Besides bragging rights, this year the winning team receives a cash prize of $120. The group finishing second earns half – $60. There is no admission charge for Beckwith Heritage Days. For additional information about Beckwith Heritage Days or the volleyball tournament, contact the municipal office at 613-257-1539.

Mississippi Mills Gemmill Park in Almonte

will be transformed into an exotic destination as the second annual Relay for Life event there carries the theme ‘Tropically Relaying for Life.’ Gifford said the inaugural year for the fundraiser wildly exceeded the cancer society’s expectations. She hopes residents from Almonte, Carleton Place and Pakenham will come out to support the effort. “We had a woman, Allison Vaughan, approach us and she loved the Relay for Life and participated in it in Ottawa. She wanted to bring it home to Almonte,” she explained. “...And that first year blew us right out of the water!” With a goal of $38,000, the Mississippi Mills event nearly tripled that, bringing in $111,000. This year’s target is to raise $144,000. “We have 33 teams signed up for the Mississippi Mills event,” Gifford stated. She stressed that there is still plenty of time to make a donation to either Relay for Life event or to purchase a luminary. “People can donate or purchase a luminary online at www.relayforlife.ca or do it at the event,” Gifford said. Smiths Falls In Smiths Falls, the Relay for Life is being revived in a big way this year. Having previously been held at the Lombardy Fairgrounds for the past 14 years, organizers have moved it to the SFDCI track in an effort to engage the community more. The theme ‘Groovin’ For a Cure’ was announced during the Relay launch back on March 7 at Chuckles Jack in Smiths Falls. Participants are encouraged to travel back in time to the 1960s and dig out those bell bottoms. Forty-one teams walked and ran in last year’s Relay, which included 451 participants, 97 survivors and the lighting of 532 luminaries. According to Gifford, similar numbers are on par for this Friday’s event. For more information about Relay for Life, visit www.relayforlife.ca.

Former Central Frontenac mayor to fight for rural families as Liberal candidate for LFLA EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Former Central Frontenac mayor Bill MacDonald has been nominated as the official candidate for the Ontario Liberal Party in the next provincial election, pledging better representation for the rural and small-town families of Lanark-FrontenacLennox & Addington. MacDonald was officially nominated June 1 during a Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington Provincial Liberal Association nomination meeting at St. James Major Catholic Church hall in Sharbot Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am honoured to represent the Ontario Liberal Party and support Premier Kathleen Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of a fiscallyresponsible, fair society,â&#x20AC;? MacDonald said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to being the voice for real, positive change that will help people in their everyday lives here in Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because our families deserve better representation.â&#x20AC;? An owner of a logging and forest management company in Sharbot Lake, MacDonald has a comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing families and small businesses. In his 18year experience in municipal government he has served for nine years as mayor of Central Frontenac and two years as warden of Frontenac County. He has volunteered with Frontenac Lodge, Sharbot Lake United Church, and the Sharbot Lake and

District Lions Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since 2007 our riding has been stuck in the gridlock of fruitless opposition politics,â&#x20AC;? MacDonald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its current PC MPP is focused on opposition stunts, ignores our most pressing issues, and even votes against budgets before reading them. During my 18 years as a local councillor, mayor, and county warden in Frontenac, I have always put the needs of our community first. As your MPP I will be your strong voice in government at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park and work for what is in the best interests of all communities across this very large riding. MacDonald especially looks forward to championing the commitments made in Premier

Kathleen Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 budget and working for several important local projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 15 per cent reduction in auto insurance will be a huge help to families here in Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington,â&#x20AC;? said MacDonald.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to investments in rural and small-town infrastructure, improved home care for seniors, and better jobs for our youth, the priorities of her budget will help people in their everyday lives. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right vision for rural and

small-town families, the right vision for Lanark-FrontenacLennox & Addington, and the right vision for Ontario.â&#x20AC;? Submitted by the LanarkFrontenac-Lennox & Addington Provincial Liberal Association.

UCLG awards $2.75 million contract for County Road 44 overpass EMC News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville council, joint services committee, and United Counties’ governance and finance committee meetings are listed below. Counties council has awarded the County Road 44 and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) overpass replacement project in North Grenville to Dalcon Enterprises. Dalcon submitted the lowest of four tenders at a cost of $2.75 million. CPR is to cover 85 per cent of the overall costs to a maximum of $2,025,885, leaving the Counties share at approximately $700,000 to $800,000 and including the Leeds Grenville share of the design and construction administration cost and contingency amounts. The Counties budget has provided for a total of $1.3 million for the project. Regional cultural plan under consideration The Leeds and Grenville joint services committee has asked Counties staff to prepare a report on the viability of a regional cultural plan. The request comes after a presentation this week by Howard Alexander, a founding member of the newly-formed Brockville Arts Council. Alexander is proposing a regional plan involving all Leeds and Grenville municipalities as cultural activities are a tourism draw and are a creator of economic development. A regional program will help market cultural, recreational, and sporting events, Mr. Alexander said. He noted more than half of the Brockville Arts Council members are from the area outside of the City of Brockville. Maple View Lodge arbitration award The United Counties of Leeds and Gren-

ville and the Ontario Nurses Association received an arbitration award on May 15. The Ontario Nurses Association (ONA) represents the Registered Nurses at Maple View Lodge, who certified on July 29, 2010. Maple View Lodge, located in the Township of Athens, is a 60-bed facility owned by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. It employs three full-time, four part-time, and six casual staff members represented by ONA. After extensive bargaining for a first collective agreement, the outstanding issues between the parties went before an arbitration board as required by the Hospital Labour Disputes Arbitration Act. The term of the first collective agreement is from Aug. 17, 2010 to Dec. 31, 2012. Counties council was advised that staff will be meeting with ONA representatives to ensure an efficient implementation of the new collective agreement. In addition, Council was advised to expect a significant impact on the budget for Maple View Lodge as a result of the arbitration award. A study of the full financial impact is continuing. One of the requirements of a board of arbitration is to take into consideration the employer’s ability to pay, in light of its fiscal situation. The United Counties also requested the board take into consideration a long held view that a first contract award ought not to introduce a collective agreement that would be typical in a mature bargaining relationship that has taken numerous rounds of bargaining. It does not appear to the United Counties that the arbitration board took either of these two key factors into account. Counties human resources manager, Kristen Argue-Hobbs said the Counties values the care provided by the Registered Nurses. However, the arbitration award is disappointing to

Forget fast and furious, try slow and cautious at Slow Bike Race By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The annual Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Slow Bike Race was held in the parking lot of the Lanark County administrative offices in Perth on Wednesday, May 22, to kick off bike month. The winner was actually the politician who crossed the finished line last â&#x20AC;&#x201C; almost seems counter intuitive to a bunch of people genetically pre-dispositioned to finish first-past-the-post, as it were. Organizer Jeff Mills, while he had everyone lined up at the starting line, could not resist the opportunity to do some lobbying for his beloved pet project of expanding shoulders on county roads to accommodate bikes. Who could blame him, seeing as he had a bevy of county politicians in front of him, a captive audience, if only for a minute, awaiting his word. While Mississippi Mills mayor John

Levi literally went off the rails and ended up on the edge of the parking lot, the race was â&#x20AC;&#x153;wonâ&#x20AC;? by the slowest of the slow, Lanark Highlands Township Deputy mayor Brian Stewart.

UCDSB to host fifth annual Champions for Kids Fun Run/Walk June 16 in Kemptville have the choice.â&#x20AC;? Crawford said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also thrilled that the event has once again partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville which will be hosting Ribfest at the same location. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Both events have one common goal in mind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to support children in our communities,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After the walk/run, participants are invited to visit Ribfest next door and enjoy the kids zone, face painting, bounce house, petting zoo, pony rides, skee ball, basketball, arcade games, balloons, and of course, ribs!â&#x20AC;? Prizes will be awarded to the participant who raises the most money in pledges, has the best costume (for centipede teams), shows the best spirit and is the youngest and most senior in age. Registration begins at 9 a.m., with a 10 a.m. start for the one-kilometre event and a 10:15 a.m. start for the five-kilometre event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past four years, we have contributed over $10,000 to Champions for Kids. It is truly rewarding to know that the money raised goes right back into the hands of families who see the benefits immediately.â&#x20AC;? The minimum pledge is $20 for families or individual runners, and $100 for centipede teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve run twice now,â&#x20AC;? says North Grenville District High School principal Steve Sharp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a wonder-

ful experience; lots of fun with my family and colleagues for a great cause. Then we got to eat some ribs!â&#x20AC;? Crawford would like to thank TD Canada Trust locations in Kemptville and the Brockville Shopping Centre for their ongoing support of this event. For the last three years, TD has sponsored student centipede teams from schools in their local area. New this year, branch managers from Perth, Prescott and downtown Brockville have joined in to sponsor teams from Glen Tay Public School, South Grenville District High School, and Brockville Collegiate Institute. Crawford would specifically like to thank TD representatives Kimberly Bologna of Kemptville, Joe Dorrington of the Brockville Shopping Centre, Michael Rath of Perth, Lisa Tyo-Chatterton of Prescott, and David Keenleyside of downtown Brockville for getting on board. In addition, Crawford would like to thank accountant Anthony Fritz for sponsoring a Lyn Public School team, Team Solutions for sponsoring a team from Big Brothers Big Sisters, St. Lawrence College for sponsoring two teams to participate, and Walmart for sponsoring a student team from Kemptville Public School for the third year in a row. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is gearing up to host its fifth annual Champions for Kids Fun Run/Walk called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strive for Five!â&#x20AC;? on Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day (Sunday, June 16) at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville. This year, event organizers have a goal to raise $5,000 for the foundation which supports families of children who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to play sports or enjoy the arts outside of school hours, as well as families whose children require medical care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so excited to reach this goal, and we know we can do it,â&#x20AC;? says event chair Sarah Crawford. As in previous years, participants are invited to participate in the onekilometre or five-kilometre walk/ run as individual participants or centipede teams. Centipede teams are groups of five to eight people who walk or run in costume and stay tied together in some unique way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we are challenging schools, staff, school councils, community partners, daycare providers, and all interested parties to submit a centipede team of at least five members,â&#x20AC;? says Crawford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Centipede teams are a lot of fun for groups of families, friends, or coworkers.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also understand that some of us would rather finish the event individually, and not tied to a team,â&#x20AC;? laughs Crawford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That option is still very popular too!

Healing through horses with Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program By PAGE TAYLOR

EMC News – Have you ever wondered how a horse can help? Since 1986, the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program (LCTRP) has been enriching the lives of both human and horse alike by providing specialized lessons for those with physical and/or developmental disabilities. The program, which celebrates its 27th anniversary this year, offers rehabilitation and recreation for children and adults from ages two to 70, with some of the older riders having been with the program for almost 20 years. Cedar Rock Farm, near Perth, run by owner Pat Nolan, is one of the two farms in the region that offers lessons, the other being Willaway Farm near Carleton Place. “Today, there are more one-on-one kids (pairings), so we have more volunteers. Ideally we need nine,” said Maria Hofbauer, the riding instructor for both farms, during a lull between the horses getting brushed and tacked up and the kids starting to arrive during a recent visit. Looking up at the bloated clouds looming over the outdoor riding arena, Hofbauer confessed that this Wednesday lesson may need to be put on hold. “The horses have to be very quiet and people-tolerant,” she said. “But if it thunderstorms, even these horses get uneasy.” Nickers from the four steeds nearby seem to punctuate her statement. The horses, two decked out in English saddles and two dressed in mere bareback pads, waited patiently beside volunteers for their riders. Their names are as pleasant and friendly as they are – Monkey, Cricket, Ebony and Calabar. Out in the riding field, Jane Irwin, a volunteer with the LCTRP for close to

six years, set up a table with colorful plastic toys and foam swords. Framing the toy table, which stands in the center of the field like the hub of a wheel, are poles that protrude from the ground in a perfectly straight and evenly spaced line. Weave poles, as they are called, are used in a more relaxed version of the sport “pole-bending” where horses duck in and out around them at a walking pace. Balancing on top of the poles are large, plastic rings. “These are the rings that they pick up and we ask what color they are,” Irwin explained. “The volunteers will hold up the rings and they (the kids) have to get it with the sword.” She demonstrated by spearing the foam sword through the ring. It may not be jousting, but the activity is a great way to practice balance and handeye coordination, “which the little boys just love,” Irwin chuckled. However, the program doesn’t aim to put the cart before the horse when it comes to the physical benefits of the lessons. Improvement happens gradually, but when it does, it is a victory. “We had a little boy who couldn’t sit up on his own, and was too impatient to listen to stories. With the program, his balance improved and his parents saw him at home sitting quietly and coloring and it’s pretty amazing,” Hofbauer expressed. But the physical improvements are not the only positive of the program. Another benefit that is gained through therapeutic riding is the self-assured air instilled in humans that goes hand in hand with being around horses. It is often said that horses can sense emotions, and that calm, purposeful movements are needed to reassure the horse. The riders build confidence with the free-

dom that horseback riding offers. “We had another little boy who didn’t speak, but after a few months, he would walk around his house saying ‘Whoa Ebony, whoa Ebony,’ which is what the volunteers were repeating to the horse he was riding,” continued Hofbauer. As the kids start to arrive, the horses were brought to the mounting block and volunteers helped the riders onto the horses. Bennet Kaslof, who has been with the program for two years, was all smiles as he was set atop the dark mare Ebony. “It was a struggle at first, but now he gets excited when the time comes,” commented Bennet’s father, Larry Kazlof, as he watched the lesson with the other parents. “It’s so rewarding,” attested Jane Irwin in whispered awe from behind the fence. “I’ve never seen Eila smile before.” Eila VanWingerden, riding astride Cricket, has been in the program for five years, and has seen improvements in her trunk control and balance. Despite the success and longevity of the LCTRP, Hofbauer noted that keeping it running can be difficult. “We have to apply for grants every year, and we are always looking for volunteers and donations,” she said, going on to explain that Cedar Rock Farm plans to build a walk-in-shelter for the horses once the funds have been acquired. Saddles are also required, among other equestrian equipment.

Hydro One helps save butternut trees in eastern Ontario on the endangered species list. In 2006, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) started the Butternut Recovery Stewardship Planting Program to find and collect seeds from healthy, native, pure butternut trees. The seeds are then planted and grown in hopes that some may be naturally resistant to the butternut canker disease. One-year-old butternut seedlings are distributed to participating landowners across eastern Ontario

to re-establish the population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pleased to be able to contribute to the recovery of this important tree species,â&#x20AC;? said Terry Forrest, eastern Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forest technician supervisor for Hydro One. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hydro One is committed to preserving and protecting this important species for future generations. By partnering with organizations such as the RVCA and local landowners we can work together to achieve significant environmental

projects throughout Ontario.â&#x20AC;? Rose Fleguel, RVCA butternut recovery specialist hopes these seedlings will replace the dead and dying butternuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have planted over 14,000 butternut seedlings since 2006,â&#x20AC;? says Fleguel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope the seedlings will grow vigorously enough to reach seed bearing age and continue the existence of the butternut tree.â&#x20AC;? It is unknown whether some butternut trees have any resistance to the

disease, although some researchers believe it likely exists in some individual trees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an unknown as to whether these seedlings will be the key to saving this beautiful tree,â&#x20AC;? says Fleguel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be idle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we need to start the recovery process now.â&#x20AC;? Participating landowners help by monitoring the trees, reporting back each fall to track the over-all survival of the seedlings each year.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Reader says earlier pesticide letter lacks “substantiated evidence” DEAR EDITOR: Stew Hamill’s letter to the editor (May 30) concerning Jeff Maguire’s earlier opinion piece on the pesticide ban lacks any substantiated evidence and certainly contains no rational discussion or scientific authority. Hamill admits that everything he says to justify the ban is just opinion and speculative. Further, he suggests that toxic chemicals are a “leading candidate” in the death of birds and people, but surely the toxicity is the issue in a discussion of the ban. Asserting as fact that the chemical is toxic, in a debate as to whether the chemical is toxic, leaves little room for discussion. In fact, the academic research I’ve reviewed concerning 2-4,D overwhelming declares it not a danger to humans or animals. Of course, in the mind of Hamill and those like him – liberal progressives” I think they’re called – it’s not open to discussion. “It’s for your own good, you

know; chemicals bad, me good, so take it or leave it.” The tyrant indoctrinates the masses, through lies and half-truths, to achieve his own interests, which of course are not saving birds or people, but control and power. The masses, minions now mini-tyrants, follow willingly, believing the tyrant’s interests are their interests. Nowhere is this more clear than in modern environmental activism. “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.” (C.S. Lewis) Terry Bennett Carleton Place

COMMENTARY Rally for Relay EMC Editorial – Something inspiring is happening this Friday, June 7 and Saturday, June 8 and you’re all invited. The Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute track and Gemmill Park in Almonte will be illuminated with candles and messages of hope and remembrance during the Canadian Cancer Society’s annual Relay for Life celebrations. The signature event for the society, the Relay is a 12-hour inspirational event where participants, cancer survivors and sufferers come together to walk and run throughout the evening. They will listen to music, share stories and make new friends as they raise funds for cancer research. And all of the funds raised through the Mississippi Mills and Smiths Falls Relay for Life fundraisers stays in Lanark County and will be used for cancer support services as well as transportation and peer support programs administered by the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. This year in Smiths Falls, marks the rebirth of the fundraiser as it will be held for the first time at SFDCI, having previously called the Lombardy Fairgrounds home for the past 14 years. Anyone who hasn’t experienced the Relay, either as a participant or onlooker, certainly should. To witness the triumphant smiles on faces during the Survivor Walk, or read the handwritten notes to loved ones who have passed on during the nighttime luminary ceremony, it puts into perspective why this is so important; to make cancer history. For more information about the Relay for Life, make a donation or purchase a luminary in memory of a loved one, visit www.relayforlife.ca.

Once given a chance, dandelions had a place at the table EMC Lifestyle – “Woman, we have been eatin’ those on this here farm for a hundred years,” Father said to Mother. I could see Mother wasn’t impressed. “They’re weeds, Albert,” she said. “Plain and simple weeds. I never heard of anyone eating weeds!” We were at the breakfast table. And we five children were looking at Mother and Father as if we were watching someone in a tennis match. I didn’t think Father was going to win this one! The subject under discussion was dandelions. They covered what we called a lawn, but was really just our front yard, since we didn’t own a lawn mower, but when the grass got too high, one of the brothers tackled it with a scythe. It was hard to tell what was grass and what was dandelions. On the way to school that morning, I asked my much older and wiser sister Audrey if she ever heard of anyone eating dandelions. She said she had. Once at her friend Iva’s house. She couldn’t remember what they tasted like. Now, it wasn’t unusual for Father to whip up a German meal. In fact, we all enjoyed what he cooked...all except fried blood pudding which I even

had trouble looking at when it came to the table. When he fried sauerkraut, it never tasted at all like the batch Mother would make. Father would rinse it many times, put it in a fry pan with butter and chopped onions, and it wasn’t ready to eat until it had turned a golden brown. His German potato pancakes were usually made on a Sunday night. The potatoes were shredded, rinsed, squeezed dry, and then mixed with eggs and of course, chopped onions. We kept him busy at the Findlay Oval turning out his pancakes barely giving him time to eat them himself, we loved them so much. Of course, they were well lathered with butter and maple syrup too. And now it was dandelions. Well, I was with Mother on this one! I had no desire to eat weeds that were pulled out of the front yard where goodness knows what animal had trampled all over them. No siree. That Saturday morning Father ordered the boys to meet him in the yard with their jack-knives. He was carrying a milk pail and got down on his knees right in the middle of the yard, and showed the brothers how to dig up a dandelion, right down to, and includVice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

ing the root. It didn’t take long to fill the milk pail. He hauled the pail over to the cement step at the pump and filled it with water. He sloshed the dandelions around with his arm in the pail up to his elbow, dumped the water out, and repeated the performance. Mother was standing at the kitchen door with her arms folded across her chest, as if defying Father to bring the weeds into the house. Well, that’s exactly what he intended on doing. He laid out a spanking clean tea towel on the bake table, and shook what water he could off the dandelions and laid them out flat, cutting off the long roots. Then he folded the towel over the pile of weeds and patted it with his flattened hand.

time this was going on, there wasn’t a word spoken between Mother and Father. It was as if they hadn’t laid eyes on each other in their entire lives. Father took down a big pot from the shelf over the stove and piled in the dandelions. He poured in a scant dipper of water, sprinkled in a handful of salt, and slid the pot to the front of the Findlay Oval. Then he went over to his rocking chair, lit his pipe, crossed his legs, and waited. The table had already been set for dinner...we always had dinner at noon hour...supper was what we had at night, and Mother had roast pork and potatoes in the oven. It looked very much like we had a choice...either eat the dandelions as a vegetable, or settle for sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. Father was certainly in charge of the big pot, already boiling gently on the stove. Mother was having nothing to do with it. He tested the innards with a fork, and when they were done to his liking, he poured the dandelions into the sieve, pressed them down with the wood spoon, and plopped them into a big bowl. He took the wood spoon, dug it into ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

It didn’t take long for Mother to admit that the dandelions had a place on our dinner table. She did demand to oversee the washing of every last leaf, however. From that Saturday, like Father’s potato pancakes and fried sauerkraut, his boiled dandelions often found their way to our plates. She did however, draw the line on eating the fried roots.

EMC News – Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville will receive a Fire Safety Award from the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council at a ceremony on June 12 in Toronto. The annual Fire Safety Awards recognize outstanding contributions to fire protection and prevention in Ontario. Rob Wittkie, a former volunteer firefighter, and his wife Kitty Wittkie, an employee of Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, are well aware of the importance of fire safety to the lives of children. So much so that in 2009, they approached the Lanark County fire chiefs with some ideas about making the homes of vulnerable children safer from fire. To enhance safety, Wittkie and her supervisor, Pat Finnagan, developed the following strategy to ensure client homes were being protected by working smoke alarms. When a caseworker visited a home, he/she would check for working smoke alarms. If there were none, the caseworker would supply them. If any major fire safety issues were noted, the fire department would be contacted to follow up. The idea received the fire chiefs’ enthusiastic support, and the program was underway. Since the inception of this initiative, 381 smoke alarms and 96 batteries have been distributed to clients of Family and Children’s Services in Lanark County. In 2011, Rob was called to testify at the inquest into the deaths of a mother and two children in a Toronto house fire. The Crown Attorney’s office was aware of the Lanark County program and felt that, since the fire victims had been under the care of the Children’s Aid Society, it would be of interest to the jury. As a result of those inquest recommendations, a provincial program involving Children’s Aid Societies across Ontario has been implemented. “The Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville has been instrumental in getting important life-saving information to those who are sometimes hard to reach,” said Ted Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal and chair of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council. “Thanks to Family and Children’s Services of Lanark, Leeds and Grenville, hundreds of families in Lanark County are now protected by working smoke alarms.” The Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council gratefully acknowledges the support of its sponsors in this event: Technical Standards and Safety Authority, The Co-operators Group, Kidde Canada Inc., Home Depot of Canada Inc., Proctor & Gamble Inc., Electrical Safety Authority, CSA Group, Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., Roxul Inc. and Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada.

Chubby Checker becomes honourary resident of Beckwith Township promoter,” he said. Over the years the two have stayed close, visiting and staying with each other. Checker resides in Philadelphia with his wife of nearly 50 years, Catharina. In the summer of 1960 he became a sensation with his version of Hank Ballard’s song, ‘The Twist’. What’s more, Checker’s dance, The Twist, transformed movement on the dance floor – people dancing apart to the beat. His career is laced with honors and legacies, including 36 hit records, 250 million records sold and a 2012 induction into the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. These days, Checker still maintains a plump schedule of concert performances and personal appearances. Darnell-Stokes is also a musician. During the ‘60s and ‘70s he performed throughout Ontario, Quebec and the eastern U.S. with his band, the XL’s.

Chubby Checker performs a song on the piano at the Beckwith Township municipal oﬃce on May 16. He was in the area visiting Chuck Darnell-Stokes, his longtime friend and resident. R0012141409_0606

EMC News – He was born Ernest Evans, but people worldwide know this American singersongwriter as Chubby Checker. In the area last month for a performance at the Casino Lac Leamy in Gatineau, Checker called on his longtime friend, Beckwith Township resident Chuck Darnell-Stokes. “The day before the show (May 16) he was visiting and wanted me to show him around,” said Darnell-Stokes. The duo made a special stop at the municipal office, thrilling both staff and Reeve Richard Kidd. “I was honoured to have Chubby Checker drop into the township office,” said Kidd. “Having an international entertainer sing while playing our piano will go down in Beckwith history.” He thanked Stokes for organizing the afternoon. In recognition of his visit, the township’s leader presented Checker with a plaque on behalf of council, declaring him an honourary resident of Beckwith Township. The performer was thrilled with the recognition. Darnell-Stokes said Checker is a very downto-earth person, someone who always remembers his friends. “He is a shy type,” he continued, “and when he is not performing, he is very reserved.” Darnell-Stokes would love to bring his friend back to Beckwith Township to headline a fundraiser for the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. Unfortunately, associated costs would be in the region of $35,000 and backers would be required. He said the show could be held at the Beckwith Recreational Complex, and other entertainers – a mixture of country and rock and roll – might include Marty Stuart, a five time Grammy-winner and Grand Ole Opry star, as well as Canadian group Ambush (made up of Mark McDonell, Riq Turner and Tom VanCoughnett). Approximately 2,500 people attended Checker’s show on May 17 at the Casino Lac Leamy. Any businesses, organizations or individuals interested in supporting a possible concert can contact Darnell-Stokes by email at westone@storm. ca. “We need a new hospital,” he said. “The populaSubmitted photos tion is just booming.” Chubby Checker, fourth from right, with members of Beckwith Township’s muDarnell-Stokes and Checker pair met in 1960 at the Montreal Forum.

Household Hints

Small museums offer window to local history

R0012141598_0606

EMC Lifestyle – Museums have been high on my personal radar recently. So much so that I am moved to offer some thoughts about the role museums play in the life of every community that has one or more of these important institutions. I am a founding member of the Roy Brown Society in Carleton Place which is dedicated to developing a full-fledged aviation museum. Carleton Place residents made a significant contribution to the incredible story of flight. Most prominent among them is Captain Arthur Roy Brown. He is the First World War flying ace who shot down Germany’s Baron Manfred von Richthofen on April 21, 1918 during a dogfight in the sky above war ravaged France. Richthofen, later nicknamed ‘The Red Baron’, was the highest scoring airman of World War I with 80 victories to his credit. The first phase of what, hopefully, will be an even larger museum, is now open in historic Moore House located opposite the Carleton Place Town Hall. The initial displays, most of which are dedicated to Brown and 14 other World War I pilots from Carleton Place, are now available for public viewing on Friday and Saturday afternoons. I took a shift at Moore House Friday on behalf of the society. It was very quiet because word is not yet out that the museum is open to the general public. The photographs and artifacts our small group has compiled to date are fascinating. They offer insight into a local story which, surprisingly, has achieved very little recognition here since the fateful aerial showdown between Brown and Richthofen 95 years ago. The Brown-Richthofen saga is far better known internationally than it is in Canada. The evidence is in the

large number of books written on the subject as well as the massive amount of material available on the world-wide web. Some of the items currently on view in Moore House were purchased via the Internet. For any readers planning to visit Carleton Place in the near future there is also an impressive mural depicting the aerial battle in 1918. The spectacular, 40-foot by 40-foot mural was formally dedicated during a ceremony last November. It is painted on the side of the building which houses the offices of local MP Scott Reid and MPP Randy Hillier at the intersection of Bridge and High Streets. That’s on the opposite side of the Central Bridge from Moore House. Local museums, such as the fledgling Roy Brown facility, are a window to the communities they serve. Through displays of all kinds they offer visitors an opportunity to trace the history of the community and the district to which they are dedicated. Two years ago we visited Germany and France in the company of our friends and regular travel companions Frank and Wendy LeBlanc. During his military career Frank spent 11 years criss-crossing Germany as a member of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. His wife Wendy (she is now the mayor of Carleton Place) was a teacher who taught at several schools during her

time in the country. Local museums During our 2011 visit we were based in the picturesque village of Gengenbach in the breathtaking Black Forest region of southwest Germany. From there we also toured the Alsace wine producing region of east-central France. In my opinion no visit to any country is complete without checking out some of the local museums. On our first full day Wendy scanned her guidebook and discovered a museum in the village of Steinach, not far from Gengenbach, they had never been to. Not unlike small museums here this particular facility is run by volunteers. An affable, elderly gentleman welcomed us. He and Frank, who is fluent in German, were soon engaged in conversation. All four of us were fascinated by the little Steinach museum which is filled with many excavated artifacts including a large collection of arrow heads and weapons (among them

Connected to your community

were numerous hand fashioned knives and small tools) from past civilizations. Our guide directed us to the basement, a rather musty smelling place. It contained many more interesting objects from the history of the community and the region. The visit left us wanting more and we found that in the numerous centres, large and small, we toured during our 10day stay. That’s the thing about local museums. They provide snapshots (often literally) of the communities they serve, giving visitors an introduction to the district and the country they are exploring. It is no different here. I am sure the local museum where you live has a great deal to offer. Unfortunately most people tend to ignore some of the wonderful places and opportunities available in their own communities. Small museums struggle to attract an audience. That’s a shame because so much hard work goes into the displays and the information available is incredibly interesting and important. On May 17 my wife Kath-

leen and I attended the opening of the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum’s 2013 exhibit. The museum is located in the former Victoria School, the same place where one Roy Brown attended classes when he was a lad growing up in Carleton Place. This year’s exhibit is entitled ‘Traveling Through Time.’ It’s an ingenious way of promoting, not time travel, but rather how Canadians, and specifically people in our district, got around over the years. From a photo of the steamer which once plied the waters of the Mississippi River and lakes, to a look at the first motor vehicles here, to souvenirs of the taxis and the buses (do you remember Colonial Coach?) which once served the area, the display offers intriguing glimpses of how the transportation network developed locally. In winter horses and cutters, skis, snowshoes and even skates were among the modes of transport favoured by many. There’s also a look at how traveling salespeople impacted the economy as well as information on the service stations (local garages) which were so

important before the arrival of major automotive dealerships. I spent a lot of time viewing information, documents and photos in a cabinet dedicated to the late George Doucett (18961974). Besides operating his well-known insurance business he also served as both the MPP and MP for this district. Doucett spent 20 years in the provincial Legislature including serving as the Ontario Minister of Highways. Among his many accomplishments was overseeing the

development of Highway 400, a major provincial artery which runs north from Toronto. Among the transportation artifacts on display is an old wooden spoke wheel. The photo collection includes some historic pictures featuring Bennett Motors and the late Vic Bennett Sr. The firm continues to operate very successfully here. The Carleton Place museum display perfectly illustrates what I am attempting to articulate this week. Local museums

are far too important to miss. Take the time to visit the museum in your community soon. I’m sure you won’t regret it! I think this rather profound statement, which I have heard a number of times, helps sum up the role of museums in our lives, “If you don’t know where you’ve been, how can you know where you’re going!” If you have any comments or questions for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Dedication ceremony in Carleton Place this Saturday for C-1 Howitzers By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The cenotaph in Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memorial Park commemorates the sacrifice of residents who have died in war. However, the past few years have been frustrating for the committee overseeing the expansion and restoration of the memorial. The final phase â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the addition of two C-1 105-mm Howitzers, which was recently completed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was â&#x20AC;&#x153;unbelievable.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although I felt like packing it in a few times, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel,â&#x20AC;? said Ron Goebel, committee chair. The process of obtaining the two pieces of military artillery guns seemed quite simple originally. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other Canadian communities even threw in the towel due to the stringent process,â&#x20AC;? he said. Goebel initially made contact with the Department of National Defence back in June 2010. With the assistance of local Member of Parliament Scott Reid, he finally received notification from the Assistant Deputy Minister of National Defence, Dan Ross in September that year granting approval for the donation of two Howitzers for Carleton Place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were supposed to get them in January 2011,â&#x20AC;? said Goebel. Arrangements were made through Coun. Jerry Flynn (committee representative) to have two cement pads installed at each side of the cenotaph prior to winter setting in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So needless to say, we were prepared for their arrival,â&#x20AC;? said Goebel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However, from that point on, we ran into a lot of red tape.â&#x20AC;? The C-1 and C-2 Howitzers, introduced by the military in 1952 and 1955, replace the 25-Pounder Field Gun, which was used during the First World War. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The C-1â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were removed from service in 2010,â&#x20AC;? said Goebel. In addition to Goebel, committee members overseeing the expansion and

Team

restoration of the memorial were Garry Pond, Iain Davidson, George Wood and Bill Carvill, all members of Branch 192, Julie Sadler of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (IODE) Captain Hooper Branch, and Flynn. The C-1 Howitzers came from a supply depot in Montreal. They are demilitarized and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fired. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we went to CFB Uplands, I was not going to believe we got them until I saw them on the truck,â&#x20AC;? said Goebel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once they were, I was ecstatic.â&#x20AC;? Local businessman Thomas Cavanagh of Thomas Cavanagh Construction provided the truck, driver and float for the transport to Carleton Place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The town has been more than cooperative,â&#x20AC;? said Goebel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Joanne (Henderson) at the arena has been excellent.â&#x20AC;? Previously, Memorial Park was the home to a 25-pounder field gun, which was the type of gun used during the Second World War. The gun is now at the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa Regimental Museum. Goebel said the C-1 Howitzers give more meaning to the cenotaph â&#x20AC;&#x201C; adding so much more to the remembrance of the fallen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It says it all, it tells it all,â&#x20AC;? said Goebel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve added to the military connection.â&#x20AC;? The price tag for the expansion and restoration of the cenotaph was $40,000. A cenotaph dedication ceremony takes place next Saturday, June 8. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The date ties in with the 69th anniversary of D-Day (June 6),â&#x20AC;? said Goebel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also coincides with Canadian Forces Day (June 2).â&#x20AC;? A parade kicks off from the town hall at 1:45 p.m. Participants include the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 Colour Party and the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets Corps Lanark 211 band, to name a couple. Beginning at 2 p.m., festivities are as follows: words of welcome (Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc, Beckwith Township reeve Richard Kidd, Member of Provincial Parliament Randy Hillier

Champlain LHIN works to integrate health systems in local hospitals EMC News – Many local hospitals will be participating in initiatives this year to improve the quality of patient care. The Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) held a meeting May 29 at the Cedar Hill Schoolhouse in Pakenham to discuss and pass motions on a number of topics, including the health system integration of small hospitals in the local area. Toni Surko, chief executive officer of the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital and representative of the Chair of the Champlain Alliance of Small Hospitals, and Suzanne Dionne, senior director of health system accountability with the Champlain LHIN, gave a short presentation outlining the upcoming process of integrating the health systems of many of the local hospitals, including those in

Mississippi Mills. The Champlain LHIN, a group dedicated to helping co-ordinate health services so local people may receive the care they need in a timely manner, has received over $3.8 million in funding from the ministry to support the transformation of eight small hospitals in the area. These hospitals include CPDMH and Almonte General Hospital, as well as Kemptville District Hospital, Arnprior General Hospital and Renfrew Victoria Hospital. The goal of this project is to integrate the local hospitals so they may better work together to provide standardized patient care. Surko outlined the funding allocation in her presentation: most of the funding, over $2.7 million, will go toward Electronic Medical Record adoption. The goal of this part of the project is to enable information sharing so hospitals may send operational and clinical information be-

tween them. The Carleton Place hospital will be the lead for this initiative, though all eight hospitals will participate. Additionally, $300,000, will go toward clinical information integration. Arnprior Regional Health will lead that project, which will facilitate the direct exchange of data between a range of health service providers like ambulatory clinics and mental health or long term care providers. Other initiatives in the integration project include patient order sets, to standardize patient length-of-stay and improve access to care; course repository, to establish a web-based curriculum to support quality and patient safety training; regional pharmacy, a study to analyze the potential of a regional pharmacy program Photo by KELLY KENT to improve medication management; and home first, to provide a comprehensive Suzanne Dionne, left, and Toni Surko, right, gave a presentation at the roll-out of the existing HOME FIRST Champlain LHIN meeting May 29 on the local hospital health system program. integration project currently underway in the area.

Lambs Down Park Festival next Saturday at Wool Growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; property tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ewe donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss out! The 2013 Lambs Down Park Festival next Saturday, June 15, promises to be bigger and better than ever, says Cathie McOrmond, manager of the Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely have more registrants this year,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More artisans, crafters and vendors.â&#x20AC;? The festival, now in its sixth year, is held on the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited property, located at 142 Franktown Rd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a wonderful partnership with the Wool Growers,â&#x20AC;? says McOrmond, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and general manager Eric Bjergso has been amazing with his support.â&#x20AC;? The Wool Growers is the largest and oldest distribution centre for lambâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wool in Canada. It grades and markets nearly three million pounds of raw wool every 12 months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wool Growers is a rich part of our history, unique to the community,â&#x20AC;? says McOrmond. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festival is on the same weekend as Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get a jumpstart on the special day and bring your dad to the festival,â&#x20AC;? says McOrmond. The rain or shine event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very fortunate in previous years with the weather,â&#x20AC;? says McOrmond. To protect festival goers from the

sun and heat, tents will be set up to provide shade, and there will be picnic tables, too. Well-known local resident and musician Jack Denovan returns as the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s master of ceremonies. With wool being the fibre on which the festival is based, the day offers hands-on demonstrations: sheep herding with Werner Reitboeck, sheep shearing by Ross Creighton and wool spinning and weaving. There will be music all day long â&#x20AC;&#x201C; filtered throughout the festival area. Smiths Falls radio station 92.3 JACK FM will also be broadcasting live on site. Once again, People First of Lanark County (PFoLC) will host a fundraising barbecue, selling hot dogs, sausages and drinks. The barbecue follows the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh annual walk-a-thon, which takes place in the morning. The walk leaves from the historic Moore House on Bridge Street. PFoLC advocates for people who have been labelled. Other foods available for sale at the festival include lamb burgers and pulled pork. Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Haven Lamothe, Miss Teen Ontario-World, will be raising money through the sale of bottled water and freezies. Yet again, informative tours of the Wool Growers will be conducted, and McOrmond notes the Real Wool Boutique will be running its usual sale. The retail outlet, situated between the main wool business warehouse and the Livestock Supply store, specializes in wool clothing, bedding and

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An operational review committee meeting for Mississippi Mills was held last Tuesday in Almonte to discuss and analyze the inner workings of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departments. Steve Fournier of Fournier Consulting Services gave a presentation discussing the results of an operational review that identified the strengths of and issues with the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departmental structure and recommendations. In November of 2012, the town commissioned Fournier Consulting Services to conduct online surveys, group consultations and interviews with members of council, community stakeholders and staff to determine what works and what doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in Mississippi Mills. The survey saw responses from 160 community members, which represents 1.3 per cent of the population of Mississippi Mills, a statistic that Fournier said he was pleased with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall it was a very success-

ful survey,â&#x20AC;? he said. Based on the results of the operational review, Fournier made several recommendations to improve the structure of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departments, mostly by grouping together like positions to improve efficiency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea is to put like things in like places,â&#x20AC;? said Fournier. He suggested a new organization of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departments. The existing structure has six departments under the chief administrative officer (CAO), Diane Smithson, who is under the council; the proposed structure would group together similar departments, so that only three larger departments report to the CAO. These proposed new departments would be: Community Infrastructure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Operations and Facilities; Corporate and Community Services; and Planning, Building and Protection Services. Fournier said the proposed structure is meant to build upon the existing structure and be a cost effective solution as the town will

not need to create many new positions; rather, existing employees will, in many cases, take on more responsibilities. Another suggestion Fournier made was to create an administrative position to assist the CAO and other employees with their day-to-day duties. After the presentation, the councilors had a chance to discuss the review. Some of the feedback was positive, with most councilors saying that many of the recommendations were valid and worth looking into, but there were some concerns. Many of the councilors said they agreed that the administrative assistant was a good idea, and Coun. Duncan Abbott suggested a central phone system be implemented as well to provide more organized communication. However, Coun. Gary Dalgity said he thinks shifting administrative work from the CAO to an assistant would be a waste of time. Coun. Alex Gillis said he was concerned with the distribution

of the results â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 63 per cent of the responses came from Almonte, 10 per cent from Pakenham and only 27 per cent from Ramsay, Mississippiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest ward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is (the data) biased?â&#x20AC;? asked Gillis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is it in favour of the small urban areas?â&#x20AC;? Still, he said he was impressed with the number of responses from the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employees. Coun. John Edwards said he thinks a lot of good work is already being done with the current long term planning already in place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of things are not broken. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not really excited about this four department model.â&#x20AC;? He said that with each layer there is a chance for broken communication, and that he would prefer a flat model where everyone is on the same level. The council members will continue to look into the options presented by Fournier to discuss which will work best for Mississippi Mills as a whole.

EDITORIAL

What’s in your pocket? EMC Editorials – A cell (or smart) phone or computer can hold a lot of secrets. It’s another world for many people. It’s a place where you can lose yourself, create a new identity, become someone you’re not. Granted, in today’s society, getting through a day without being plugged into something electronic is practically unheard of. Smartphones are needed by working society as people respond to emails, create appointments, check in on their kids, plan the grocery shopping – all at the click of one’s finger… or thumb. Hand-held devices, laptops and tablets go everywhere one can travel comfortably. Walk down the street, go grocery shopping, to a show or a restaurant - anywhere you go – there

are people plugged into their devices: texting, listening to music, making calls, Googling, shopping. Our worlds are so integrated in our devices that if we misplace it or leave it at home one day, or heaven forbid, it needs a factory reset for some techie glitch, then the world will collapse around us. So what is on that smartphone in your pocket? Would your spouse show you his or her phone if you asked? What about your child’s devices? Would they let you near them? If the answer to those questions is “no”, then it may be time to get some answers. Adults, you’re on your own here, but as far as your children are con-

cerned, in today’s world, where it seems everyone has a cell phone, there are even more precautions that parents need to take to ensure their child’s safety. This is not just about bullying via text messages, or phone calls, but it’s about sexual predators. Smartphones allow children and youth the opportunity to get online to pornographic sites, dating sites, Facebook accounts, look at photos and watch videos. Const. Sean Trahan, OPP officer with the Lanark OPP Detachment in Carleton Place, visited The Stewart School last month where he shared concerns about predators online who are seeking young victims. “It’s not like in the old days when you would find your dad’s old Playboy magazine,” Trahan said as he talked with students and parents about internet safety.

The constable said that some of the top hits for children and youth with cell phones are ‘porn’ and ‘sex’. These two searches are in the top 10; right after Justin Bieber and video games. Trahan recommended students not share their email passwords with anyone but their parents. He also said that activating a firewall and backing up all files to help keep your children safe. By being open with your children and their electronics, you can keep a better handle on what is happening in their world. Ask them to share with you; don’t put them on the defense, but encourage them to talk about their safety plan, and the judicial fallout about sexting (sending and receiving lewd or nude photos of others), pornography and bullying. It’s better to scare them with the truth than ignore the issue all together.

COLUMN

New reporter joins team EMC Editorial – Hello, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills. I am glad to be writing New to you from my new home in the newsroom of the Canadian Gazette. My name is Kelly Kent, and I am very excited to be starting my first reporting job of my (hopefully successful) career. As a recent journalism graduate from Algonquin College, I was ecstatic to land any job in my field, but I was even more excited to begin a job with the Gazette – a paper I literally grew up reading. I have spent my whole life in this area: I was born in the Almonte General Hospital in August of 1991, and lived just outside of Franktown on a quiet dirt road called Cuckoo’s Nest Road until I was 15. After that, my family and I moved into Carleton Place, where I attended Carleton Place High School. When I struck out on my own almost three years ago I moved into the beautiful town of Almonte and took up residence in a small, but lovely, house with a nice, big backyard with lots of room for my new puppy, Minion, to run around in. I have been drawn to journalism since I was

young, and although it was not always my first career choice (I also considered Kid on the Block being an accountant, a lawyer and a teacher) it was always there, stuck in the back of my mind. Journalism appeals to me because of its ever-changing nature; every day is different when you’re writing. One day you could be covering a fire, the next you could be writing a profile of a local hero. That is something I know for sure about this career: there is never a boring moment in a newsroom. When I’m not chasing down the latest stories for work, I enjoy reading anything I can get my hands on, knitting or crocheting the occasional pair of mittens and running. Well, maybe I don’t exactly enjoy running, but I try to do it anyway. At the end of June, I will be running my first 5K race with my father, an avid and very fast triathlete, who is coming down from his home in BC to attend my college graduation. Let’s hope I can keep up. I am delighted to have an opportunity to contribute to my community by writing for the local newspaper, and I look forward to bringing you the latest stories and news.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Carleton Place council: Three strikes and you’re out DEAR EDITOR: The town council of Carleton Place has, in the past year or so, discouraged at least three excellent residential/commercial proposals. Strike one In late December 2011, a developer had presented a proposal for redevelopment of land at 400 Franktown Road, into a 27-unit apartment building, which, according to the presentation previous to December, would be primarily for seniors, renting at or below market rents for Carleton Place. There were two new conditions placed on this development by the corporation, developments not required at that time for similar developments, which raised the cost of the units to market, or above, rents. The developer walked away from developing this property. An article was published in

the Canadian Gazette on Dec. 22, 2011, ing and another traffic study may be explaining the dilemma of the devel- required. oper. More seniors housing that did not happen. Strike four The town council in Carleton Place Strike two may have set a president for discouragIn March of this year, a comprehen- ing development. A local developer put sive development of residential, com- together a consortium of local developmercial and health care, eventually ers, landowners, shopkeepers, lawyers, worth in the tens of millions of dollars, realtors, designers and others, to preswas shot down because the proposal ent a concept for redevelopment of the did not fit into the employment lands entire downtown. This was a concept designation. Carleton Place has acres proposal that the council and staff reand acres of employment land, both quested, and a preamble to a formal available now, and in the undeveloped “nuts and bolts” proposal. Doyle lands.

This proposal had, of course, as any $80,000,000 proposal would have, various areas for in depth consultation and negotiation. The developer for the McNeely Avenue, Cavanagh Road development was advised that our town needed downtown development. He then proposed a combination of housing, apartment buildings, commercial development and an attractive improvement of Moore St., Franktown Road and Bridge St. Looks like our healthcare village start, residential and commercial development on Cavanagh Road is dead, and

Strike three Just last week, a major development proposal at thriving restaurant on Highway 7 was put on hold. New conditions imposed on the submitted development permit are being discussed. Landscap-

the intended use of dealing death and destruction. Although these guns may have been used in the defense of freedom, similar guns were used by the enemy against those whose sacrifices we honour. That sacrifice was made so that children could play in safety and freedom. Somehow I think that those who made the ultimate sacrifice would be very happy to see children playing on the guns. I wouldn’t shed a tear about it. How much better off would the world be if all the tools of war were turned into play structures. “Swords into plough shares,” remember?

Complaint about children playing on monuments an overreaction DEAR EDITOR: Editor’s note: The following is in response to a letter, ‘Memorial Park a tribute to veterans, not a playground,’ which appeared in the May 9 issue of the Canadian Gazette EMC. Memorial Park is a public park, only a small section of it is occupied by the cenotaph. The guns are a nice addition to the memorial, but they will inevitably be an attraction to children. I don’t think that the parents who allowed their children to play on the guns meant any disrespect to the memorial or the veterans. While we remember and honour the sacrifice of the fallen, we should also bear in mind the curse of war that took their lives. The guns are tools of war that were created with

now a major proposal to finally revitalize the downtown core is somewhere in limbo. Four strikes to a ball game is a new record. Did we really strike out?

Strictly for the Birds LYNDA C. BENNETT

the sewage lagoons, Northern Shovelers sat on the water, and a Spotted Sandpiper bobbed along the shore. One surprise was viewing an Olive-sided Flycatcher, and also that it took almost a day to find a Brown-headed Cowbird! Many thanks to all our supporters for the birdathon. Dorothy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien of the Carleton Place area, called to tell me her Ruby-throated Hummingbirds were not back by midMay. A week later, Dorothy called to report their return. In Pakenham, also in mid-

May, Ray Holland reported seeing all six species of swallows hawking for insects over the bridge in town. Ray has had 162 species of birds seen/ heard in Pakenham Ward for May. Three birds he has noted Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to find are the Upland Sandpiper, Sedge Wren, and Alder Flycatcher. He has noted a Black-billed Cuckoo in town, one of which Cliff and I spotted on a fence in Prince Edward County. In a pamphlet from the Nature Conservancy Canada (NCC), habitat destruction and frag-

mentation are critical threats to wildlife. Cerulean Warblers have experienced a large population decline through forest fragmentation. Ceruleans are listed as vulnerable on the world list, and as endangered in Canada. The NCC is working to protect their habitat in places like Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frontenac Arch, a wildlife corridor through agricultural landscape. Please call Lynda Bennett at 613-256-5013 or email bennett@magma.ca with your bird reports.

EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On the Baillie Birdathon we surpassed last year by seven species. Ninetythree species were seen and/ or heard as we covered Prince Edward Point and Presâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;quile Provincial Park. We heard warblers but could not see them, and one needs to brush up on their songs every year. One warbler we were pleased to hear was a Wilsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warbler, foraging, preparing for a further trip north. By the shore in the calf pasture, stood a Green Heron, a nice find. On the shore, at Owenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point in the park, we found a single Brant amongst the shorebirds. Blackbellied Plovers, Dunlin, Least and Semi-palmated Sandpipers walked all around this Brant. At the constructed wetland viewing spot in Brighton, we heard a Virginia Rail, saw American Coot, and heard loudly singing Marsh Wren. At

Bike Rodeo kicks off Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month By KELLY KENT

EMC News – Kids of all ages and their parents attended the Kid’s Bike Rodeo, which kicked off Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month on Saturday, June 1 in the Almonte arena, despite the sweltering humidity. Two bike courses and several table stations were set up inside the arena for the Bike Rodeo, which aims to teach children about cycling safety. Const. Dave Bird of the Lanark County OPP led children through the first bicycle course, which was set up to help youngsters learn to obey road signs and to learn hand signals for turning and stopping. “It’s important for kids to start learning these things sooner rather than later,” said Bird. Bird said the course was designed to start the process of learning to be safe when cycling on the road by recognizing street signs; a building block for children of which to stack later knowledge on top. There was also a just-for-fun course set up in the arena where young participants could bike at their own pace through twists and turns. In addition to the bike course, different stations were set up as well. As children entered the arena they had their helmet properly fitted by one station and there was a smoothie station where kids and adults had to create their own power to blend the drink using a bicycle.

Rag & Bone Puppet Theatre back in Almonte Saturday were both actors, and things just grew from there,â&#x20AC;? states Nolan. â&#x20AC;?We started out by doing shows in parks, birthdays parties.â&#x20AC;? Since then, Rag & Bone has toured Canada and the U.S., giving over 100 performances a year at schools, libraries, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s festivals and theatres, and earning numerous awards, including an ACTRA award and a Citation of Excellence in the Art of Puppetry from UNIMA, the international puppetry association. In addition to their performances, they regularly teach workshops on puppet making, mask and drama at all levels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our workshops are really for any school-aged kids â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they have a really broad appeal from five years olds right on up to highschoolers,â&#x20AC;? states Nolan. The workshops, in addition to

entertaining and teaching the kids, also give John and Kathy a chance to talk to kids about their ideas about stories, something they really enjoy. In their upcoming workshop, kids will learn all the steps that go into creating a puppet performance. To begin, Nolan and MacLellan show kids how to make wood puppets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use scraps of wood, and the kids arrange and glue the pieces to create puppets. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great way of making a really adorable puppet in a minimal amount of time,â&#x20AC;? says Nolan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re durable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot of times when kids go to workshops and make things, they last at little while and then fall apart. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked to highschoolers who did a workshop in kindergarten and still have their puppets!â&#x20AC;?

After crafting their puppets, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to put together a performance. The entire show is created by the kids, using their puppets and their stories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids are very creative! Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use their puppets make up stories, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll work with them to turn it into a show,â&#x20AC;? says Nolan. The performance is also videotaped, so at the end of the day kids can take home a copy of their final performance. This introduction to the art of puppetry and one-day workshop will be held this Saturday, June 8 in Almonte from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $15 to attend and includes a pizza lunch from Milanos.

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Enjoy â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Puppet Show by Kidsâ&#x20AC;? this Saturday, June 8 in Almonte! In this workshop, young puppeteers have the opportunity to put together a show with guidance from some very talented performers: Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous Rag & Bone Puppet Theatre, who are excited to be back in the friendly town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really happy to be out in Almonte again,â&#x20AC;? states Rag & Bone Puppet Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Nolan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love the town!

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When a woman becomes a mother, designer purses are replaced with diaper bags, trendy hairstyles become ponytails, and burp cloths conceal fancy threads. Does it have to be this way? Not according to Middleville resident Pam Grimm, Hot Mama trainer. Hot Mama is a 50-minute fitness class for pregnant women, held Tuesdays and Thursdays at Heritage Fitness Centre in Carleton Place, running from 2:10 to 3 p.m. Participants benefit from the class beginning in their second trimester. Prior to this â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and always with doctor or midwife approval â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pregnant women are able to carry on with their current fitness routine. However, some minor adjustments may be necessary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women are able to start with the program right up into their third trimester, if they have been fit up until that time,â&#x20AC;? added Grimm. The class, unfortunately, is not operating at the present time. Three of the four participants have had their babies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad,â&#x20AC;? said Grimm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is always an individual end date to the program â&#x20AC;&#x201C; delivery. Although I am very excited and happy for them (women), it is sad to see them go.â&#x20AC;? She hopes to start the

joy the social aspect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing for pregnant women to take part in a fitness program with other pregnant women,â&#x20AC;? said Grimm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They become friends, share experiences and ask questions of each other. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like matchmaking for moms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while improving their health.â&#x20AC;? Grimm has always been active in sports, even as a child and teen. At age 20 she began running long distances, which is her favourite thing to do. She loves her job as a fitness instructor and personal trainer, which she has been doing for in the region of four years. However, it is only within the last two years that Grimm has been training pre and post-natal clients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started at Heritage Fitness last May,â&#x20AC;? she explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy working at the facility and have met some amazing ladies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and babies there.â&#x20AC;? The Hot Mama Fitness Program has been a huge success. Participants gain strength, stamina and posture, as well as mental wellbeing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The changes I have seen have been truly amazing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not only physically but in the confidence and outlook of the moms,â&#x20AC;? said Grimm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They learn to love and look forward to the classes.â&#x20AC;? She noted that the women should always speak to their doctor first before starting the class.

Celebrate Bicycle Month in Mississippi Mills By KELLY KENT

EMC News – Break out your helmets and put on your sneakers – it’s Bicycle Month in Mississippi Mills. This past Saturday, June 1 officially marked the beginning of the fifth annual event, which spans the month of June each year and promotes healthy living and active lifestyles. Bicycle Month is organized each year by a planning committee made up of volunteers who help to organize the many interesting and fun events that happen throughout the month, like the Kid’s Bike Rodeo that was held on June 1. Jeff Mills, chair of the planning committee for Bicycle Month, got the idea several years ago after reading about similar events in other cities in Momentum magazine, a cycling lifestyle magazine. “Well, I don’t live in the city,” he said, “so I wanted to see if we could do something like that here.” He said the month has been a huge success in the past, and that participation and awareness has been growing every year. Many events are held throughout the month and are hosted by individuals and local businesses, like the Birders on Bikes ride that is hosted

by Gilligallou Bird. Inc. and takes birdwatchers, both experienced and not, on a trip to see some of the local wildlife. Another event Mills is excited about this year is the Silver Chain Challenge. This is a friendly challenge between Renfrew County and Lanark County where residents can log their cycling mileage (or, in Renfrew only, their walking mileage) throughout June; the community with the highest number of logged kilometers wins. Participants can register at silverchainchallenge.ca. There are several more events planned throughout June and there is something for everyone, from novice cruisers to advanced cyclists. Here are some events to look forward to in the coming weeks: Stargazers’ ride On Friday, June 7 at night (weather permitting), there will be a night time expedition to the Mill of Kintail, guided by an amateur astronomer. There will be a 90-minute observing session midway through the ride where participants can stargaze and watch for night wildlife. Mountain biking for kids Kids can learn the basics of mountain biking from Dirty

Knobbies Mountain Biking on Sunday, June 8 at Augusta Street Park. Bike polo – pizza edition Enjoy a friendly game of bike polo and some Cortelli’s pizza on Thursday, June 13. All you need is your bicycle and a helmet to participate in this event that promises to be something you’ll remember. For a full schedule of activities taking place during Mississippi Mills Bicycle Month, visit http://mmbm.ca.

Together We’re Better Many of us will remember the ‘Howdy, Part’ner!’ line we used to hear on the old TV cowboy shows of the 1950s and 60s. The Lone Ranger and his faithful companion Tonto, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans and their sidekick, Pat, Zorro and his manservant Barnardo, and so many more - all worked to make things better for the communities they lived in or visited. As children we role-played these partnerships and gained a rudimentary understanding that by working together, good things can happen. OK, so I know it’s a stretch, but when I look at various community organizations forming partnerships to work either on a long-term basis or for a specific project, it’s easy to see that good things really can and do happen when groups work together for a common cause. For example … As a result of a five-municipality partnership with Carleton Place in the lead, the new municipal waste policy was created with considerable savings to taxpayers for both garbage and recycling collection. Our Carleton Place BIA (Business Improvement Association) is a stellar example of a group working with partners for the common good. The Market Square pavilion roof resulted from the BIA providing funding along with the Town and the Farmers’ Market Board. The 5th annual Lambsdowne Festival happening on June 15 began as a partnership with the Canadian Co-operative Woolgrowers. This summer’s four-concert family-oriented Music at the Market series beginning July 9th is a partnership between the Parks and Recreation Department and the BIA. Many groups work hand-in-hand with the Hospital for fundraising events such as the Notre Dame Stage Band’s Music For Miracles happening on June 14th and the Cruise Nights every Wednesday evening at the Market Square. The Town is now partnering with the Carleton Place Canoe Club for the operations of the building giving the Canoe Club staff and volunteers the opportunity to concentrate on their programs. Arts Carleton Place and the Carleton Place in Bloom Committee have joined forces to present the fabulous Blooming Arts Garden Tour on July 6th. The Carleton Place and Beckwith Historical Society, the Roy Brown Society, and the Municipal Heritage Committee together under one umbrella are seeking ways to conserve and promote local history. It’s clear that partnerships within the community work. By sharing responsibilities, we also share benefits. Kudos to all those who work together – partner - to make Carleton Place a wonderful community in which to live, work, play, and grow!

CPDMH Auxiliary still making difference after 60 years Emotional, Henderson finished with a volunteer blessing.

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

History lesson Eleanor offered a brief history of the Auxiliary at last week’s affair, which was held in the hospital’s boardroom. “There is nothing I like more than talking about history,” she said with a laugh. The CPDMH Auxiliary was officially formed on May 22, 1953 – a historic occasion. “Fundraising has always been the main focus of the Auxiliary,” said Henderson. “As soon as the hospital was built in 1953 the superintendent began attending all Auxiliary meetings, requesting money for babies clothes and other necessities.”

Photo by TARA GESNER

A plaque on the River of Life was revealed, in memory of deceased Auxiliary members. By 1956 the organization had spent $13,223 for these items, which was a lot of money back then. She said there was a pantry committee that received donations of preserves, honey, pickles, jams, jellies, marmalade, maple syrup, fruits, vegetables and canned goods from ladies and church organizations. These donations reduced the cost of meal service for patients and staff. “What would happen if we tried to do that today?” asked Henderson. Bake sales were held six times a year and a twoday carnival took place in the old arena (now the location of the Carleton Place Public Library) for several years – before the arena was condemned and torn down. “I remember attending it one year with my mother-in-law,” said Henderson. “There was something for everyone.” The year 1976 saw the Meals to Wheels program launched, and by 1980 the Auxiliary had gifted the hospital with $47,000. That decade three new ventures were established: roast beef luncheon, Christmas tourtieres and HELPP lottery. “These were successful ventures,” said Henderson. “Two still exist (roast beef luncheon and HELPP lottery).” The Canadian Association of Healthcare Auxiliaries presented its 2001 Care Award

(Canadian Auxiliaries Recognition of Excellent) to the CPDMH Auxiliary. “The award was given for the Auxiliary’s incredible fundraising effort to raise $92,000 to buy equipment for an outpatient arthroscopic program,” said Henderson. The late Dale Scott mentioned the Auxiliary’s popular Ride of Splendor to the late John Neave, an avid motorcycle rider, in the early 2000s. “The rest is history,” said Henderson. In 2005 the Auxiliary presented an outstanding $85,000. “We’ve raised a lot of money over the years and will continue to do so – to purchase essential hospital equipment as well as support new and ongoing hospital programs,” said Henderson. The Auxiliary’s volunteers are helping hands that support the hospital. They work in a number of departments: laboratory services, medical records, physiotherapy and more. What’s more, the Auxiliary operates the hospital Gift Shoppe. Today, there are in the region of 120 members (women and men).

Thank you “There was an argument between a volunteer and a professional about who was more valuable to the organization,” said hospital chief executive officer Toni Surko, “and it got rather heated until the volunteer pointed out that it was a volunteer that built the ark and it was professionals that built the Titanic.” “The Auxilians that went before us chose at one point in history to build an ark that would be a house of safety and healing to people who were deluged under a flood of health-care needs,” she continued. Surko is grateful for that vision. “We want to continue that and shape that in the future,” she said. “You don’t enter into history without standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us. My deepest appreciation to those who have gone before and everyone of you for your dedication over the years.” “I want to express our great appreciation for all that you do,” said CPDMH board chair Lois-Anne Brebner. “The hospital would not function nearly as well if we didn’t have volunteers – extra hands to help out, in addition to your fundraising efforts. All of you are ambassadors for the hospital out in the community.” Beckwith Township Reeve Richard Kidd said his municipality and Carleton Place are two different political bodies; however, the hospital Auxiliary is one of the best examples of the people from the two regions working together to make something very successful. “Thank you for all that you have done and will continue to do,” he said. Festivities also included refreshments and the handing out of years of service pins and special “V” (volunteer) pins.

EMC News – The Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Auxiliary has given hundreds of thousands of dollars and hours of volunteer service over the last six decades to the hospital. To honour this incredible contribution a number of events have taken place this year, including last Thursday’s (May 23) River of Life dedication. A stone on the wall mural was devoted to the memory of the auxiliary members who passed away within the last 60 years. The Rev David Andrew from St. James Anglican Church performed the blessing. “The River of Life, the brainchild of Melba Jarvis (former Auxiliary president), is the most significant example of our hospital and Auxiliary working together, to not only raise funds, but to honour the memory of many of our relatives and friends,” said Auxilian Eleanor Henderson. Designed by the Auxiliary’s 2001 executive (Jarvis, Dian Shaver, Betty Godfrey and Flora Neave), the River of Life was manufactured by Wilno’s Artwood Studios. It cost $25,000, including installation. “It was amazing,” said Jarvis. “We couldn’t believe it, and in the first 10 months we raised over $100,000.” The River of Life represents Carleton Place. The tree, leaves, ducks, geese, bulrushes and river stones depict the Mississippi River below Morphy Falls as well as the town hall.

EMERALD ASH BORER - COMING TO AN ASH TREE NEAR YOU

Photo by TARA GESNER

Signing the event guest book and looking at pictures on Thursday, May 23 are Phyllis Latourell and Jessie McBain.

This little beetle is a highly destructive insect native to the Asian Continent. It was discovered in the Windsor/ Detroit corridor in 2002. It has since destroyed millions of trees. It was discovered in the City of Ottawa in 2008. Since that time the City of Ottawa, Leeds and Grenville have been quarantined and the movement of ash wood and wood products is prohibited. The City of Ottawa removed 800 affected trees in the winter of 2011. The handling of ash trees that have been affected by emerald ash borer can take special techniques. Gardiner Tree Trimming & Removal Ltd. strives to use the safest methods possible to remove dead and dangerous trees of all species. Our methods use equipment such as a crane, bucket or excavator as the job requires. Gardiner Tree Trimming & Removal Ltd. offers TreeAzin® Systemic Insecticide. It is an injectable insecticide formulated with azadirachtin, an extract of neem tree seeds (not neem oil). TreeAzin is registered by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) (PCP 30559). Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment (MOE) scheduled TreeAzin® as a class 4 pesticide or “least hazardous that is

THE EMC - A/CP16 - Thursday, June 6, 2013

commercial”, with a class 11 active ingredient. TreeAzin is exempt from Ontario’s Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Act.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: EAB is a slender, elongate insect about 1/3 - 1/2 inch long. It is widest just behind the head, gradually tapering back to the abdomen. It is a bright iridescent green to copper-green color, often with a copper colored area behind the head. Its body underneath the wings is a purplish-magenta color. Trees typically are killed in two to four years. When trees are ﬁrst attacked by EABs, the symptoms are inconspicuous and hard to notice. By the end of the second year, thinning foliage and dieback in the crown begins to be

apparent. By the third year, there is severe dieback and little foliage. Ash can tolerate small numbers of EAB larvae but trees are girdled and killed when populations become more numerous. When the adults emerge, they create small, 1/8 inch D-shaped exit holes that are characteristic of this insect, although they can be hard to see. If you were to remove the bark on the trunk of a tree showing these symptoms, you should also ﬁnd the larval galleries. Woodpecker attacks on ash could also indicate the presence of emerald ash borers.

Dr. Clark M. Kerr, 59, passed from this life on Sunday, May 19, 2013 in Lubbock, Texas. Born to Evelyn and Archibald Kerr in Smiths Falls, Ontario, Canada in 1954, Dr. Kerr was the youngest of four children. A curious and intelligent child, Dr. Kerr graduated High School from Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute in 1972 as an Ontario Scholar, before moving on to the University of Ottawa. Earning his place at the University of Ottawa Medical School two years early, Dr. Kerr received his Doctorate of Medicine in 1978. After completing his Internship and Residency in Internal Medicine in Ottawa, Dr. Kerr was awarded a fellowship at Duke University to specialize in Infectious Disease in 1981. This unique specialty brought him to Lubbock in 1989 to head up the new Infection Control program for what is now the Covenant Health System. Practicing here in Lubbock in various roles, Dr. Kerr maintained his status as a premier expert in infectious and tropical disease and infection control, eventually growing a successful private practice with others in the field. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at the young age of 38, Dr. Kerr eventually retired from medical practice in 2001. Following this retirement, Dr. Kerr put his medical expertise to use by serving as a medical legal consultant and expert witness. As a young man in Canada, Dr. Kerr was saved by Grace. Throughout his life, he took every opportunity to share the Gospel with those he came in contact with. Although regarding Texas as “God’s country”, Dr. Kerr also enjoyed many happy summers at his cottage on the Rideau Lake near his childhood home. Dr. Kerr was an avid reader, dog lover and extensive traveler. He will be remembered by all who knew him for his commitment to his patients and his profession, his unique sense of humor, and his generous spirit. Survivors include his son, Andrew Kerr and his wife, Courtney; mother, Evelyn Kerr; brothers, Bill Kerr and wife, Carol, and Tom Kerr and his wife, Carol; and sister, Patsy Harlow and her husband, Phil; along with many other dear friends and loved ones. Dr. Kerr is preceded in death by his father. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a contribution in his memory be sent to the Lubbock chapter of the American Parkinson’s Disease Association. www.apdaparkinsons.org 3610 22nd Street, Suite 300, Lubbock, TX 79410, 806-725-0941.

JUNE

“WE REMEMBER” Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is

also our way of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown conﬁdence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying…“We Remember”.

IN MEMORIAM

WYNN, Gloria In loving memory of a cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend who passed away June 11, 2012. A year ago the Angels gathered near your bed so very close to you. They knew the pain and suffering that you were going through. We thought about so many things, as we held tightly to your hand. Oh, how we wished that you were strong and happy once again. But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky. Where Jesus held his outstretched arms, it was time to say goodbye. We struggled with our selfish thoughts, for we wanted you to stay. So we could walk and talk again, like we did just yesterday. But Jesus knew the answer, and we knew He loved you so. So we gave to you life’s greatest gift, the gift of letting go. Always in our thoughts and to never leave our hearts, Penny, Art, Matt, Jenn, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

IN MEMORIAM

RITCHIE-HILL, Cheryl – In loving memory of a dear daughter, mother, wife, sister and aunt who passed away June 8, 2012. God looked around His garden and found an empty place, He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you, and lifted you to rest, God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain, He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Forever in our hearts Love Mom and family

IN MEMORIAM

KNIGHT - In loving memory of my parents Gordon, who passed away June 29, 1996 and Lyllis, June 12, 2007 The moment that you died, My heart split in two, The one side filled with memories, The other died with you. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep, And take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is a heartache That never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart, And there you will remain, Life has gone on without you, But it never will be the same. For those who still have their Mom/Dad Treat them with tender care. You will never know the emptiness As when you turn and they’re not there. Loved and missed everyday, daughter Heather

TriCounty Addiction Services Needs Volunteer Board Members TriCAS provides health promotion and addictions counselling to families and individuals in Lanark, Leeds-Grenville who are challenged by alcohol or other drug misuse, problem gambling, or concurrent mental health and addiction issues. We would be especially pleased to invite you to our Annual General Meeting if you share an interest in our work and would like to volunteer to become a Member of our Board of Directors. We are a non-profit corporation which is funded by the South East Local Health Integration Network, and we also report to the Champlain LHIN. Our Directors are responsible for setting policies that guide our services and for ensuring our accountability in our funding agreements with the SE LHIN. Directors meet monthly throughout the year and may also participate on committees which report to the Board. Making addiction services available to our communities is as important as providing mental health and medical care. The work of the Board and its committees addresses the best ways to do that, how to ensure the quality and effectiveness of our services, options to integrate services with other agencies, and the most advantageous deployment of our resources in a time of provincial fiscal restraint. If you live or work in Lanark, Leeds-Grenville and would like to contribute your time, expertise, or life experience to our work, please contact Helen Latimer-Hanah, Administrative Secretary, by e-mail at helen@tricas.on.ca or by phone at 613-283-7723 Ext 311. For more information about our agency, please visit our website: www.tricas.on.ca, or drop into our offices and pick up a service pamphlet (Smiths Falls– 88 Cornelia Street West; Brockville – 1805 Oxford Avenue). If you are unable to attend our AGM but would like to meet at another time, we can then discuss with you the next steps to take in order to complete an application to become a Member of our Board.

REGIONAL NEWS

Connected to your community

Help give your baby a healthy start: Have alcohol-free pregnancy EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the first time ever, Canada has one national set of low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines. These guidelines, intended for Canadians of legal drinking age who choose to drink alcohol, aim to provide consistent information across

the country to help Canadians moderate their alcohol consumption. The new guidelines outline standard drinks sizes, limits for men and women, recommendations for youth and when zero is the limit. Specifically, guideline four recommends that the safest choice for

those who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding is no alcohol at all. Alcohol exposure in pregnancy can cause birth defects and brain damage to your baby. This lifelong disability is called Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and it does not go away as the child

ages. For more information and resources, call the health unit or visit our website. Over the next few months, the health unit, along with local partners, is promoting the message â&#x20AC;&#x153;No safe time, no safe type, no safe amount.â&#x20AC;?

REGIONAL NEWS ALCOHOL

Connected to your community

your health throughout your reproductive years, even if you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t planning to have a baby any time soon. This includes monitoring your drinking and living a healthy lifestyle. Remember, if you are not actively preventing pregnancy with a reliable method of birth control, you are planning a pregnancy. A great alternative to drinking alcohol at any time is to substitute alcohol-

From page 34

and no safe amount of alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Fifty per cent of pregnancies are unplanned, so it is possible you drank alcohol before you realized you were pregnant. If this is the case, stop drinking immediately and contact your health care provider. It is important to maintain

ic drinks for non-alcoholic cocktails, also known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;mocktails.â&#x20AC;? Mocktails are a delicious and fun way to have a drink without the effects of alcohol.

The OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OSI Working Group is

undertaking an in-depth review of the Ombudsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations and the OPP is reporting quarterly on various activities including educational and awareness-raising initiatives. In partnership with the OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s human resource services, the OSI Working Group is piloting a workshop which is

being held in various locations across the province for managers at the rank of staff sergeant, and above. The Managing for a Healthy Workplace workshop focuses on injury, illness and employment accommodation; return to work; Workplace Safety Insurance; employee assistance programs; and workplace dis-

crimination and harassment prevention including respect in the workplace and conflict management. This training encourages managers to explore practical strategies for overseeing a healthy workplace while reducing stigma associated with employment accommodation. The OPP is also continuing to build

The Hub marks its 39th birthday in Almonte with annual Birthday Bash By KELLY KENT

EMC News – The stifling temperatures on May 31, the day of 2013’s first heat advisory, didn’t stop the party at the Hub’s 39th birthday bash. People came in droves to celebrate the Hub’s special day, which was made even more enticing by the great deals the store was offering: everything in the store was priced to move at only 39 cents. This two-day sale at the historic store made the already fantastic prices of the store’s donated goods practically irresistible, especially when you consider the Hub’s purpose. The Hub, as many locals know, takes donations of clothing, toys, books and other gently used items and sells them. The proceeds from the sales go straight back into the community, to programs like hospices, which received over $12,000 from the store last year. The birthday celebrations involved a short ceremony, which took place on Friday, May 31. Glenda Jones, the Hub’s president, welcomed everyone to the store before announcing that Jack Barr and Marjorie Buttrum, both longtime volunteers, would be receiving life memberships as a thank you for their service. Then Jones invited “two of the bravest people she has ever known,” Janet Rintoul and Donna Smith, to cut the cake, which was provided by the local Baker Bob’s. Jones said that Rintoul and Smith have both been though bouts of cancer in the past few years but that they always had high spirits. “They always have smiles on their faces,” Jones said. “When I think about what they’ve been through, my own worries just seem so small.” Rintoul has been living in Almonte since 1974. “Actually, I moved here one week before the Hub opened,” she said, adding the she has been volunteering at the Hub since 2002. She said she enjoys it because she gets to work in the books section and that it’s just a fun place to be. Smith is the volunteer coordinator with the Hub, and has been volunteering there for six or seven years. “I just love working with all the ladies,” she said. The festivities at the Hub concluded with slices of cake and heaping plates of sandwiches, chips and shrimp, which were provided by friends and family.

Despite the heat on May 31, people ﬂocked to the Hub for its 39th annual birthday bash. Above left, Donna Smith, left, and Janet Rintoul, right, cut the Hub’s birthday cake. Above right, kids and adults alike took advantage of the great deals during the two-day sale, where everything was 39 cents. Left, people came in droves to the Hub to gather armfuls of clothes, toys and books. Right, a new sign that has been put up on the Bridge Street side of the building was revealed during the ceremony.

Raising money, jumping rope and throwing pies By KELLY KENT

Birthdays are celebrated a little differently at Pakenham Public School. Or at least one was when students at Pakenham chose to give their principal, Mr. LeRoy, an unusual birthday treat for his special day on May 27th: a pudding and whipped cream pie, served by throwing it in his face. Throwing the pie was the reward for one lucky student, Nick Love, who raised the most money in the Grades 4-6 category for the Heart and Stroke Foundation through Jump Rope for Heart, which was held at the school that Monday. He raised $152.75 to put toward the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of $5,767.15, which was over $200 more than their total for last year. Braxton Barr, the student who raised the most money in the K-Grade 3 category, collected an amazing $534 for the cause. He also got to choose a staff member to throw a pie at; his victim was Ms. Laidly, a Grade 2/3 and French teacher. Students from Kindergarten to Grade 4 spent time in the beautiful sunshine jumping rope to upbeat music, from Michael Jackson to Gangnam Style.

Above right, principal Mr. LeRoy gets a pudding and whipped cream pie thrown at him by a student, as a reward for raising the most funds for Jump Rope for Heart. Right, Talia Bent, Grade 2, enjoys the sun.

SWIMMING POOLS The Swimming Pool By-law No. 03-40 requires a pool permit for all swimming, bathing, wading or reflecting pools which are capable of retaining a water depth equal to or greater than 600 mm (24â&#x20AC;?) Also these pools are required to have an enclosure at least 1.5 metres (5 feet) in height. Permits can be obtained at the Building Department Monday thru Friday 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. WATER RESTRICTIONS The Watering Restrictions By-law 0414 is designed to regulate and control the usage of water, within the Almonte Ward, in the hot summer months. Between May 1st and September 30th each year there are limitations on who can water and at what time. Odd number houses may water on odd calendar days and even numbered houses may water on even numbered days.

Watering may occur between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. each day and from only one connection. Midday is the hottest time of the day and the water is more likely to be wasted through evaporation when watering at this time. Watering from more than one connection simply uses too much water at once. A significant amount of new grass or sod is exempted from these provisions for one week.

Grimm has always wanted to work with moms. “I had always wanted to run a class specifically for pregnant woman, but in smaller communities this can be challenging as there is a very small window, about six months, where pre-natal clients are able to participate, and even more difficult to have those participants be at similar stages in their pregnancy within that window,” she said. “So prior to the past 12 weeks I had been doing one-on-one training with pre-natal clients, which I enjoyed very much. However, there is something truly special about the group format.” For additional information, contact Grimm at grimm_pam@hotmail.com or 613-253-2112 (Heritage Fitness Centre).

Host families needed for Japanese students EMC News – There are two groups of Japanese teens heading to this area August 2013. The first group consists of 14-year-old girls from Japan’s Denenchofu School. Their main goal is to immerse themselves in Canadian family life and practice their English. The group is due to arrive on July 29 and will stay until Aug. 11. The second group is a mix of 17 and 18-year-old boys and girls from Ritsumeikan Uji School, in Japan. They will spend their weekdays taking English as a Second Language program at Carleton Place High School and spend time with their host families on evenings and weekends. Local teachers will instruct the students while they

are at school. This group will arrive Aug. 16 and leave Aug. 31. That’s where area families come in. While the younger group will be with their host families throughout the day, older students spend much of their time at school, which is easier for families who might not be home during the daytime. They are at school during the day so it’s a little less intense for families. No matter which age group a family decides to host, the experience is well worth it, In order to qualify to host, families must be able to provide the student with his or her own room and anyone over the age of 19 must pass a vulnerable sector background check. Organiz-

ers also hope to match students with his or her ideal family, which means the more family members, the better, especially if there are teens around the same age, Buses are provided for the older students to and from Carleton Place High School daily with buses from Perth and Smiths. Students residing in Carleton Place might require a drive to or from school, or they can walk if they are close enough to the school. Families also receive a small honorarium to help out with costs. Anyone looking for more information can call JoAnn Campbell at 613264-8843 or email jcampbell@mliesl. com.

CCHL introduces new regulations at recent annual general meeting EMC Sports – The Canadian Junior Hockey League (CCHL) held its annual general meeting on May 23 in Charlottetown, PEI. The CCHL board approved several new policies aimed to strengthen the national organization for its member leagues, teams and athletes. The CCHL will enter the 2013-2014 season with several new regulations and initiatives, including the following: • Stronger dispute resolution and appeal procedures for application of CCHL rules and inter-league disputes. • Sanctions for payment of players in any manner that jeopardizes or potentially jeopardizes their (or their teammates’) eligibility to participate in college or university hockey at any level. • Sanctions for violating rules on the amount and type of consideration payable as part of a CCHL Player Transfer Agreement. • Creation of a “not-in-goodstanding” list for players refusing to report to a team after a CCHL Player Transfer Agreement. • Introduction of a “returnto-team” rule for players returning from other levels of

hockey, including National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Canadian university and college and Central Hockey League (CHL). • Adoption of a CCHL interleague player transfer freeze from 9 a.m. EST on Dec. 10 to 12 p.m. EST on Jan. 1. • Formation of a committee to review the USA Hockey – Hockey Canada Transfer & Release Agreement. Formation of a committee to review the proliferation of junior leagues which are not sanctioned by Hockey Canada. Additionally, a new ruling was made on what determines import status for players. From now on, the following applies to Junior A hockey in Canada: (a) No player having Canadian citizenship shall be classified as an import. (b) Any player who meets the definition of import in his first season of Junior A hockey shall continue to be classified as an Import when registering to play Junior A hockey in any subsequent season. (c) The maximum number of Imports that can register and play on a Junior A team at any given time shall be seven in the 2013-14 season, and shall be six beginning in the 201415 season. A review of that

maximum number shall occur prior to the 2015-16 season. (d) If a team requires special assistance through any unusual situation which develops, the chair of Hockey Canada or his designate may permit a team to register and play Imports in addition to the number of imports permitted under Regulation K.30.1(c).

Inaugural CCHL Super Showcase at Bell Sensplex set for Aug. 30 to Sept. 2 EMC Sports – The Central Canada Hockey League has expanded its season-opening Showcase weekend for the coming season. Now billed as the ‘September Super Showcase’, the event will take place over the Labour Day weekend at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata and stretch across four days – Friday, Aug. 30 through Monday, Sept. 2. Also, each team in the league will now play three games instead of two over that stretch. A total of 18 exciting games open the Central League’s 53rd season. As the original league showcase hosts, the CCHL has maintained innovative concepts to having league games played in a common venue as a means to attract scouts, recruiters, fans and families to a season opening kick-off. To avoid conflicts with other league partners in Canada, and to enhance an already excellent event, the CCHL has adopted an expanded showcase.

Studio Theatre’s ‘Proof’ full of surprising twists and revelations By JOAN SONNENBURG

EMC Entertainment – Family. One way or another, we have one. It may be next room, next door, or next province. We may get along, we may bicker, we may be estranged from them. Or they may have passed on. But we all have, or have had, family at one point in our lives. Studio Theatre’s final production of the season, ‘Proof’ by David Auburn is a story about a family in a situation that is becoming increasingly common: a child becoming the caregiver of an aging parent. Says director Jeremy Dutton, “More and more there are families who are going through this. Especially as money goes down for those in charge of ill people. As the population ages, well sorry folks we need more care especially if we’re sick.” Catherine is the daughter of a brilliant mathematician who has lapsed into insanity. She has given up a promising career to care for her ailing father, and now she fears that she may be developing the same affliction. Claire, her sister, who arrives to help out, only makes the situation worse by taking over and making Catherine feel even more inadequate. To further add to the problem, she suspects Hal, a young student who was working with her father, of stealing a long-sought after mathematical formula from her father’s papers. The story is filled with surprising twists and revelations as we learn more about Catherine and her family. ‘Proof’ features four of the areas most accomplished actors. The role of Catherine is played by Mary Ann Majoury who appeared as the young impressionable nun in ‘Doubt: A Parable’. Catharine Coleman of Station Theatre in Smiths Falls is her sister Claire. Hal, the young math student is played by Lucas Tennant, a young man who is well-known to Studio Theatre regulars. Talented and versatile, Tennant has appeared in a multitude of differing roles from a 17-year-old to a

The challenging role of the father, Robert, is played by another Studio Theatre regular, Alfred Von Mirbach. The plot is complex and intriguing, but above all, it speaks to all of us who deal with family issues. As Tennant so succinctly puts it “It is a brilliant story about families and relationships, about trying to care for people who

have been taking care of you. It’s role reversal. You get trapped, you get lost in taking care of someone and you lose sight of yourself.” While ‘Proof’ is a story about families and relationships, it does contain mature subject matter and some coarse language. Audience discretion is advised. ‘Proof’ opens June 6 and continues June 7, 8, 14, 15, at 8 p.m. with Sunday

matinees at 2 p.m. June 9 and 16. Tickets are $20 in advance or $22 at the door. Advance tickets (cash only) are available at the Book Nook, 60 Gore St. E. in Perth.. Credit card purchases can be made at Tickets Please 39 Foster St. in Perth (613-485-6434). There are also $10 student tickets available at the door on presentation of I.D. If you’re considering an anniversary or birthday gift, why not give the

gift of entertainment. Gift certificates are available for all performances, so watch for our exciting, upcoming season soon to be announced. Studio Theatre is located at 63 Gore St. E in Perth, overlooking the Tay Basin. For further information, visit www.studiotheatre.com or call 613267-7469.

The minister also stated that 2013 was designated the International Year of Water Cooperation, and cited some of the work the government has undertaken in this regard. “We are working with our international partners, such as the United States in the Great Lakes, and with our provincial and territorial counterparts, to improve and protect our important water resources,” Kent said. “Our government has worked with the provinces and territories to bring about Canada’s first national standards for wastewater treatment.” Kent stated that such focus and cooperation was also key to addressing other environmental issues and challenges. “Canadians should take this opportunity to celebrate our rich and diversified environment, to reflect on our numerous achievements and to think and prepare for future challenges,” he said. “Collectively, we must never lose sight of the importance of a healthy environment in which to live, grow and raise our families.”

EMC News – The federal government is inviting all Canadians to reflect on their environment during Canadian Environment Week, observed annually during the first full week of June. Canada’s Minister of the Environment, the Honourable Peter Kent, noted that the week was a time to reflect on our collective environmental achievements and stewardship, for all Canadians today and tomorrow to enjoy. “Canadian Environment Week is not only a great opportunity to celebrate our achievements in protecting our natural environment, but it is also an excellent opportunity to further inspire all Canadians to work together to do even more to preserve, protect and restore our land, our air, and our water,” he said.

Kent pointed to some of the government’s important environmental achievements: • The launching of the joint-monitoring plan on the oil sands; • More stringent regulations in a variety of areas, to combat climate change through a sector by sector approach and fulfill our commitment of reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent below 2005 levels by 2020; • The cooperation with provincial and territorial counterparts, to improve air quality for all Canadians; • On the international stage, the government’s investment of $1.2 billion towards climate change fast-start financing to further help developing economies reduce emissions and adapt to climate change, which is a global challenge; • Canada’s collaboration with a variety of business and international partners to encourage innovative environmental technologies and clean energy; • The advancements made for the protection of wildlife, water and land in Canada—protected areas in Canada now account for an area that is nearly the size of Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Switzerland combined.

Stellar Canadian casts at upcoming Classic Theatre Festival season following her memorable turn as Gittel Mosca in last season’s ‘Two for the Seesaw’. Gordon’s comic chops will be on full display as she fends off the attentions of Ottawa’s Richard Gélinas, a celebrated veteran of the National Capital theatre scene (‘The 39 Steps’, ‘Stones in His Pockets’, ‘Cyrano de Bergerac’, ‘Eddie May Mysteries’), and Trevor Pease, who divides his time between TV and film (‘Nikita’, ‘Cybergeddon’) and stage (Upper Canada Repertory Company, Theatre New Brunswick, among others). “Simon is known for his sparkling dialogue, hilarious plots and lovable characters. ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ reflects the theme you see in a lot of his plays of opposites who attract but who also have to work through their differences to get along, just like the sloppy/neat freak roles in ‘The Odd Couple’ and the snarky vaudeville veterans in ‘The Sunshine Boys’,” says Smith. ‘The Marriage-Go-Round’ (Aug. 9 to Sept. 1) caused some stir on Broadway as it featured a happily married, brilliant academic couple (one of whom is the Dean of Women) whose lives are turned upside down by a Swedish blonde bombshell who wants the husband to father her baby so that the child inherits both beauty and brains. The couple is played by Scott Clarkson (who has previously performed critically acclaimed star turns in the festival’s productions of ‘The Fourposter’ and ‘Two for the Seesaw’)

EMC Entertainment – From July 12 to Sept. 1, the fourth season of professional summer theatre in Perth, courtesy of the Classic Theatre Festival, features a variety of returning talent along with new faces who have graced stages across the country, in addition to considerable film, television and radio work. Early bird tickets are on sale until June 8, guaranteeing discounted tickets with the option of choosing dates later. Director Laurel Smith, who will helm the comedic productions of Neil Simon’s ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ and Leslie Stevens’ ‘The Marriage-Go-Round’, is pleased with the star power she has assembled this summer to work alongside Ottawa set and lighting designer David Magladry, Mississippi Mills costume designer Renate Seiler, and local production manager Nolan Popplewell. ‘The Star-Spangled Girl’ (July 12 to Aug. 4) could have been drawn from today’s headlines about the red state/blue state divide that currently animates much of the U.S. political culture. Simon, looking at a similarly polarized America in 1966, created the story of two free-thinking liberal magazine writers who fall for a conservative southern belle and Olympic swimmer who’s about to marry a U.S. Marine. The “girl,” in this instance, is played by Kate Gordon, a regular at Upper Canada Playhouse who returns to the festival for a second

The PC MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills introduced the Fairness is a Two-Way Street Act in the legislature on May 29. It made it through the first reading. Although private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bills rarely become law, he is confident this one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; similar to one passed when Mike Harris was premier in 1999, but killed by the Liberals in 2006 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get support from all three parties,â&#x20AC;? MacLaren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They realize it is not fair.â&#x20AC;? If the bill makes it past third reading, construction projects

on the Ontario side will be off limits to Quebecers. While there is no formal ban of Ontario contractors on the Quebec side, MacLaren said he hears regularly from locals who find the red tape and other hurdles make it next to impossible to win Quebec contracts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of tit for tat,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are protecting our rights and Ontario jobs.â&#x20AC;? Critics say it is unconservative to promote what amounts to protectionism. MacLaren appears willing to take the heat to force Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand. He said if they make it easier for Ontario contractors, he is willing to do the same for Quebecâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Ottawa is lucrative for Quebec contractors with hospitals, businesses and more needing work done from time to time, and especially the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $2.1 million light-rail project. If the law comes into effect, companies that break it could face a fine up to $25,000 a day; workers could be on the hook for

$2,000 per day. Among those that would have to change its ways is the City of Ottawa. Last year it hired 30 Quebecers to remove snow instead of Ontario truck drivers. Although the Parti Quebecois governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inclination is toward protectionism, the province is reeling from a corruption scandal involving construction companies and may move toward cleaning up the rules in the future.

Flowers that are pretty enough to eat By DALE ODORIZZI Lanark County Master Gardeners

Master Gardeners has bright orange or yellow petals and has been used for centuries to give a beautiful to give a beautiful saffron-like golden colour without saffron exorbitant cost in everything from cakes to casseroles. Use the petals only, not the whole flower. • Daylilies are completely edible but the flowers are the prettiest. Each has a unique flavour, sweet or savory, raw or cooked or fresh snacks right off the plant. Remove the pistils and flower base for best taste. • Lavender combines well with other herbs. Use sparingly as it has a powerful fragrance. Sprinkle a few flowers on ice cream. • Rose petals taste as good as they smell. They are best used in desserts and confections such as rose petal jam. Use only unsprayed roses. Try vegetable and herb flowers which have the same taste as the more familiar part of the plant, only milder. Try squash or zucchini flowers in soups or stir fries or deep

fried in batter or sprinkle a few bright flowers of scarlet runner beans on a casserole. Flowers of chives, onions, garlic and leaks are very decorative so add a few to salads or stir fries. Herbs are a great source of edible flowers. Pale blue rosemary or pink or purple thyme add visual interest as well as flavour. Borage is grown for its pretty sky-blue flowers and has a mild cucumber-like taste. Never eat these flowers. While some flowers are edible, others are extremely toxic. The iron clad rule for eating mushrooms applies here too – unless you are 100 per cent sure of the flower’s identity and are sure it is safe to eat, do not eat. The following are some commonly grown flowers that must never be eaten: Buttercups (Ranunculus), Castor Beans, Crocus, Daffodil, Delphinium, Foxglove, Hydrangea, Lily of the Valley, Monkshood, Morning Glory, Petunia and Sweet Pea.

EMC Lifestyle – We often think vegetables are for eating and flowers are for looking at. You can combine the two to add flair to your food with flowers. Make sure that your flowers are edible and that they have not been sprayed with chemicals, making homegrown, unsprayed flowers or those grown by organic growers the best. Edible flowers should only be used in moderation to add zest or as a beautiful garnish. Some of the best flowers to eat are: • Nasturtiums are ideal to brighten a tossed salad. They have a watercress-like taste. The leaves are edible with a peppery flavour and the large round seeds have been used as a substitute for capers. • Violets are small in size and sweet in flavour, making them best suited for desserts. Crystallize them for fancy cake decorations or cut them up and sprinkle on ice cream or freeze them in ice cubes to flavour cool drinks. • Pansies are extremely colourful and versatile. Use them whole or cut up in desserts, salads or side dishes. • Pot Marigold (Calendula)

1958 Ford custom 4-door loses gas tank on way to dance those were the days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I forgot to mention that when the trunk floor let go, it took not only the gas tank but also the spare tire, bumper jack, and lug wrench. We had to leave those in the bushes because there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anywhere we could put them with five guys going to the dance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The trunk floor was full of holes when I bought the Ford. At that time (1966), we still had a lot of unpaved gravel roads so when driving the old Ford (of course right at the speed limit), the dust would enter through the holes in the floor and completely fill the inside of the car. Before leaving to go out at night, I would go to a nearby stream and soak a blanket with water, then spread it out over the trunk floor. This helped greatly with keeping the dust out but I guess it also added to the demise of the floor.â&#x20AC;? Lionel has fond memories of his dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1938 Mack pickup truck.

EMC Lifestyle - Lionel Churchill of Portugal Cove, Newfoundland, remembers the good old days when cars broke down and you fixed them at the side of the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first car was a 1958 Ford Custom 4-door. I bought it from my uncle for 20 bucks in 1966. It was a rust bucket and had a 223 cubic inch six cylinder that was knocking its brains out, but I loved the beautiful new set of green and white vinyl seat covers it had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One night, me and a few of my buddies were going to a local dance and the whole trunk floor fell out, complete with gas tank. We put a 5-gallon pail on the back seat and relieved my dad of about 10 feet of his acetylene hose, which we ran from the pail to the fuel line. Only problem, after about 10 minutes, the gas would soften the hose and it would collapse, causing the old Ford to starve for fuel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would yell out to one of my buddies in the back seat to pull the hose from the can and blow in it as hard as they could. That would open the hose long enough to give us another 10 minutes of fuel. However, it got us to the dance and back. Like I said,

Canadians can cancel wireless contracts after two years under new CRTC wireless code EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On June 3, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) issued a wireless code that will make it easier for Canadians to understand their contracts and sets out their basic rights. The code will apply to new contracts for cellphones and other personal mobile devices starting on Dec. 2, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day, Canadians rely on wireless devices while in their homes, at their jobs, at school or travelling abroad,â&#x20AC;? said Jean-Pierre Blais, chairman of the CRTC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two years.â&#x20AC;? The wireless code addresses the main frustrations that Canadians shared with the CRTC, which included the length of wireless contracts, cancellation fees, roaming charges and other indus-

try practices. Among other things, individual and small business consumers will be able to: â&#x20AC;˘ Terminate their wireless contracts after two years without cancellation fees, even if they have signed on for a longer term. â&#x20AC;˘ Cap extra data charges at $50/month and international data roaming charges at $100/ month to prevent bill shock. â&#x20AC;˘ Have their cellphones unlocked after 90 days, or immediately if they paid for the device in full. â&#x20AC;˘ Return their cellphones, within 15 days and specific usage limits, if they are unhappy with their service. â&#x20AC;˘ Accept or decline changes to the key terms of a fixedterm contract (i.e., two-year). â&#x20AC;˘ Receive a contract that is easy to read and understand. The wireless code will apply to all service providers in Canada. In particular, the code will apply in full to

postpaid services (where customers pay a monthly bill after using their services), and where applicable to pre-paid wireless services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wireless code is a

tool that will empower consumers and help them make informed choices about the service options that best meet their needs. To make the most of this tool, consumers

also have a responsibility to educate themselves,â&#x20AC;? Blais added. The participation of a large number of consumers and the collaboration of the wireless

industry will ensure the wireless codeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful implementation. For more information, please visit www.crtc.gc.ca/ wirelesscode.
