Community – Now in its 12th year, the Fall 400 Dragon Boat Festival in Carleton Place returns next Saturday, Sept. 7, making waves for charity and offering plenty of fun for competitors and spectators. Hundreds of paddlers will descend on the Carleton Place Canoe Club in Riverside Park, located along the picturesque shores of the Mississippi River, competing in numerous races, including the popular Dale ‘Scoon’ Scott Community Championship. “We are very excited to have another full festival, with 46 teams from all over Eastern Ontario participating, said Crystal Devlin, festival president. The event draws competitors of both sexes and all ages and abilities. An independent group of volunteers, all former dragon boat paddlers, established and continue to run the event, and all profits are returned back into the local community. “This year, we are pleased to have the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital as our main beneficiary,” said Devlin. Races by and large begin at 9 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. An awards ceremony is held immediately afterward. There is no admission fee to the park or for the festival, and there is ample parking on site. A variety of food, drink and merchandise will be available for purchase.

Cenotaph to be restored for Remembrance Day By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
Holiday deadlines Due to the Labour Day Holiday on Monday, Sept. 2, the deadline for all advertising, Regional Roundup and editorial submissions for the Sept. 5 edition will be moved back one day to today, Friday, Aug. 30 at 4:30 p.m. Thank you.
Community – In time for Remembrance Day, Almonte’s Cenotaph monument will be brought back to life with a restoration. Work on the statue, which is located near the Almonte Old Town Hall, will begin soon, after the Town of Mississippi Mills received a notice in late June that they were successful in obtaining a grant for $12,100 from the Cenotaph/ Monument Restoration Program through Veteran Affairs Canada. “The cenotaph is in need of a good restoration,” said Diane Smithson, the chief adminis-
trative officer for Mississippi Mills. The statue has been in Almonte since Sept. 9, 1923, and, according to Smithson, only has minor signs of having work done on it in its 90 years. “There is some evidence that the statue had been waxed at some point,” said Smithson, “but it is apparent that it hasn’t been done recently.” In order to restore the monument to its full splendor, the statue will be removed from its base and transported to Russell, ON, where a team will clean and wax it before returning it to its home. The stone masonry incorporated into the monument will
also be repaired and conserved, and letter cutting will be done to additional names to the cenotaph that were omitted before. The $12,100 grant will cover half of the project’s total cost of $24,200. The rest will be paid by a $1,000 donation from Branch 240 of the Royal Canadian Legion; $6,700 from a town reserve and the remaining balance by taxation, according to Smithson. With only just over two months until Nov. 11, Smithson said the restoration team is in a bit of a time crunch. “We’ll be lucky to have it all done by (Remembrance Day),” she said, “but we’re hoping it will all go smoothly.”
News – As students take their first steps into the classrooms of area schools on Tuesday, Sept. 3, the Canadian Gazette is wishing everyone an enjoyable and safe 2013-2014 academic year. This is also a friendly reminder to local principals and teachers – don’t forget to let your community newspaper

“There will be live entertainment (3’s a Crowd) over the lunch hour,” said Devlin. Teams compete in timed heats on a 400-metre course. Groups posting the quickest times move into the final contests: Women’s Challenge, Dale Scott Community Championship and Open Challenge. Each team will be provided with paddles, lifejackets and a dragon boat. Dragon boats – unique vessels painted to look like menacing Chinese dragons – feature 20 paddlers, a steer or tiller and a drummer. The sport originated in southern central China thousands of years ago. Today, dragon boat racing is the fastest growing water sport in the world – recognized for the strength, endurance and team spirit that participants share. The mission of the festival’s organizing committee is to host the best (fun and well-run) small, one-day dragon boat extravaganza in the Ottawa Valley. “We are hoping for a day of great weather,” said Devlin. Typically, the event attracts between 1,500 and 2,000 spectators. The finish line is right at the canoe club, there’s not a bad spot for watching. It takes countless volunteers to help run the festival: dock marshals, timekeepers and people driving boats and assisting with parking.

Rick Gales retiring as UCDSB’s superintendent of business News – An administrator responsible for revamping transportation and implementing new financial safeguards within the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) is giving up the balance sheet in favour of a golf bag and a gardener’s hoe. Rick Gales, superintendent of business, is officially stepping down on Sept. 1. The man affectionately known as “Crusty� among his colleagues will be replaced by current comptroller of finance Nancy Barkley. After 24 years working in Ontario’s public education system, Gales rejects any notion of a second career. He is ready to move on to a life of leisure. “I’m planning a trip to Italy and a lot of relaxing, gardening, skiing, canoeing and golfing,� Gales said recently. The 65-year-old father of three came to the area in September 1989 to work as head of finance for the old Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry County Board of Education, following a seven-year stint in finance with St. Boniface School Division Number 4 in Manitoba. Following school board amalgamation in 1998, Gales became one of three chief financial officers with the new Upper Canada District School Board. He was responsible for managing the amalgamation of facilities once controlled by the four predecessor boards. In 2001, he won the job as the first superintendent
of business for the new board, under former director Gino Giannandrea. David K. Thomas, the current director of education for the board, credits Gales for transforming the business department at the UCDSB into a high-performance team. “Rick is a great leader,� Thomas said. “He has vision, but also gets that we have to be accountable to the public so we can provide a worldclass education to our students. He ensured we have the financial safeguards in place so we are seen as accountable and he has put the right people in place to ensure we get the job done.� Among Gales’s accomplishments are: playing a critical role in establishing the new Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) busing consortium; establishing financial assistants in the families of schools to better regulate school finances and ease the burden of school office administrators; the creation of an internal auditor’s position to support the system; and the advancement of occupational health and safety practices within the board – changes which have contributed to reduced absentee and accident rates. Board chair Greg Pietersma says that Gales’ expertise, his wit and his passion for public education will be missed. “Rick is an excellent financial administrator,� said Pietersma. “But what made him so great was not just that
he kept track of our dollars, but that his focus on financial management was always through the lens of what was best for our students. He used our dollars to ensure we de-
liver a world-class education system that helps our graduates succeed.� One of many examples where this proved true was about eight years ago when
board to revamp special education programs. Despite the loss of funding, the board courageously proceeded with its plan to improve special educa-

CAA reminds motorists about back to school road safety News – With school buses about to make a return to roadways across the province as thousands of students get ready to head back to the classroom, CAA North & East Ontario is reminding motorists to study up on road safety. Regardless of where your daily commute takes you, under Ontario law motorists travelling in both directions must come to a complete stop when approaching a school bus that has its upper red lights flashing. Failure to stop for a school bus can be a costly decision. For a first offence, drivers face a fine between $400 and $2,000 and the
loss of six demerit points from their licence. Each subsequent offence brings fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000, as well as six demerit points and the possibility of serving up to six months in jail. Motorists are also reminded that roadways in designated school zones have a speed limit of 40 km/h.

Emerald ash borer found in two areas of Lanark County News – Lanark County is urging residents to take action to slow the spread of the emerald ash borer (EAB), an invasive beetle that aggressively attacks ash trees, following confirmation the insect has been found in two locations within the county. Stephen Clare, regional program officer for the North East Region of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), appeared before the county’s economic development committee of the whole earlier in August to explain the agency’s regulatory role in slowing the spread of the EAB and to provide general information. The EAB does not pose a threat to human health, but the CFIA estimates there are 30 million dead ash trees in the US and Ontario, with an estimated two billion at risk in Canada and no natural predator here. “The EAB has been in Windsor since 2002 and there are no ash trees left there,” Clare said. “North American ash trees are very susceptible. The EAB attacks all except mountain ash, which is not technically an ash tree.” The borer has been found already in all of the municipalities surrounding the county. The CFIA set traps here in early May. When they were checked in July, two sites were positive for EAB: one in Carleton Place and another near Pakenham in Mississippi Mills. In Lanark County, about 30 per cent of the forest cover includes a component of ash trees, with the majority of ash-dominated forests occurring in the southeastern portion of the county. “Now that the EAB has been found here, we want to ensure the public is made aware of ways to slow its spread within the county,” said warden Bill Dobson (Montague reeve). “The main way to do this is to restrict the movement of wood between infested and noninfested areas within our boundaries and beyond since that is a major way the beetle travels.” To slow the spread of the emerald ash borer to new areas, the CFIA uses measures to control the movement of potentially infested materials. This includes ash logs, branches, nursery stock and wood chips, as well as firewood of all species. With evidence of the beetle
Lanark County public works department has revealed that the emerald ash borer (EAB), shown above, has been found in the county. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency set traps within the county and in July, two sites tested positive for the EAB: one in Carleton Place and another near Pakenham.

found here, the CFIA will move to “regulate” Lanark County. “We found the insect on two properties, so wood products cannot be moved off of those properties without CFIA oversight in order to try to slow the spread,” Clare explained. On April 1, 2014, Lanark County will become part of a large consolidated area in Ontario and Quebec that is regulated in an effort to slow the spread of the pest to unaffected areas. Firewood or any ash products that have been illegally brought in to Lanark County from a federally regulated area could be infested with EAB. “Lanark County residents can help slow the spread of the EAB by buying or cutting their firewood close to home,” said Jonathan Allen, operations manager for Lanark County Public Works. “It’s important to learn what ash is and try not to move it around.” Park and campground opera-
tors, where visitors often bring their own firewood, are urged to be particularly vigilant. At an Aug. 23 public works committee meeting at the Lanark County building in Perth, county councillors expressed concern about the effect of the die-off of ash trees, particularly in some wetland areas and along certain waterways where the dominant species is ash, which provides shade for the waters and habitat for numerous species. “This has the potential to be devastating in Lanark County,” said Brian Anderson, advisory services coordinator with Mississippi Valley Conservation, which provides professional forest-management services to the county. “Our wetlands contain black ash stands, our fence rows have green ash and our community forests have white ash. It will affect every ecosystem we have.”
“You have a different situation that is unique to eastern Ontario,” Clare noted. “Ash has come back on lands that were cleared, and we don’t know what we’re going to see with those lands.” He said local municipalities, particularly urban areas, will have to expect increased costs and hazards related to tree removal and maintenance. Information sessions will be offered to local municipal staff to help them recognize the signs and symptoms of infestation, along with hazard trees, and to identify hot spots. “Municipalities can explore a variety of ways to plan ahead for the demise of our ash tree population,” Anderson said. “In forested areas, the stand can be thinned to reduce the number of ash trees and diseased trees can be removed. Regeneration or replanting efforts can focus on non-ash species.” The EAB was first discovered in Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan in 2002 and is believed

to have come from eastern Asia in wooden packaging materials in the 1990s. It has since infested most of southwestern Ontario and from Frontenac County east into Quebec. North American trees have little natural resistance to it. The beetle is a hardshelled, winged insect that is about 1 to 1.5 cm long and a striking metallic emerald green colour. The adult beetles emerge through the bark of ash trees from June to August, leaving a small, D-shaped hole. The adults eat foliage and lay eggs in bark crevices over the summer. The larvae tunnel through the bark and begin to eat the sap wood, making S-shaped galleries that get progressively larger as the larvae grow. This cuts off the flow of nutrients and water to the rest of the tree. The larvae spend the winter under the bark, pupate and emerge as adults starting in spring. Signs of EAB infestation in ash trees include seven to 10centimetre cracks in the bark
of young trees, zigzag galleries under the bark of any ash trees, small D-shaped adult exit holes, increased woodpecker activity, die-back in the top half of the crown, or new, green shoots emerging at the base of the tree. Often, by the time the signs are noticed, the beetles have been in the tree for three or four years already. The Eastern Ontario Model Forest organization is taking a lead on advising rural landowners about options they have in light of the arrival of the EAB.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR
Reid just doesn’t get importance of food safety DEAR EDITOR: Canadians count on the government to make sure the food we eat is safe, yet when it comes to the inspection system, Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MP Scott Reid and the Conservative government refuse to own up to their own mistakes. An independent review of last year’s XL Foods E. coli outbreak, which led to the largest beef recall in Canadian history, found that the outbreak was entirely preventable. It found that there was not “a strong food safety culture” in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) at all levels. Staff were inadequately trained and inspection practices weren’t good enough. Our government failed. Many of these problems would have been fixed if the Conservatives had followed through on their commitment to implement the recommendations of the Weatherill Report on the listeriosis contamination at Maple Leaf Foods in 2008, a serious shortcoming they refuse to admit. The Conservatives claim they have been “bolstering” our food inspection system and that they have “added 20 per cent to the personnel.” In fact, documents reveal they plan to cut hundreds of food safety and in-
spection staff at CFIA, which will reduce, not strengthen our food safety system. They also failed to implement the final recommendation of the Weatherill Report, which called for an independent, comprehensive resource audit to ensure that the CFIA had the resources, human and otherwise to carry out its mandate. Even the former president of the CFIA, Carole Swan, said that what they did do was not the audit the Weatherill report called for. That could have prevented many of the problems. This slapdash approach allowed problems at XL Foods to go unchecked for years, allowing the E. coli contamination that caused 18 Canadians to get sick, cost $16 to 27 million to the beef industry and undermined consumer confidence in our food safety system. Will Mr. Reid and the Conservatives actually implement the recommended changes to food inspection to prevent a third major food crisis on their watch? Don’t hold your breath – when I asked in Question Period, they refused to commit to an implementation date. Frank Valeriote, MP Liberal Party of Canada Agriculture Critic
COMMENTARY Let’s help run down cancer Editorial – It’s been 33 years, but the image of the brave Terry Fox running across Canada’s landscape won’t soon be forgotten. Fox may have lost his battle with the unforgiving cancer disease, but his Marathon of Hope continues across Ontario, Canada and globally, to this day. This year marks the 33rd anniversary of the Terry Fox Run, which traditionally takes place the second Sunday following Labour Day. It falls on Sept. 15 in 2013. The month of September is symbolic and chosen by Fox himself. According to the Terry Fox Foundation website (www.terryfoxrun.org) the month was picked “to reflect when he had to stop running and when Canadians had to start.” Fox lost his battle with cancer on June 28, 1981, just one month shy of his 23rd birthday and the first Terry Fox Run to continue raising funds for cancer research was held Sept. 13 later that year. There are many ways to keep Fox’s dream alive by participating in one (or several) of the Terry Fox Runs throughout the area. In Almonte, participants will gather at the Almonte Arena at 1 p.m., the same time the Lanark run gets underway. Perth’s event will take place at the Conlon Farm Recreation Complex, beginning at 10 a.m., while both the Elgin (Elgin Lions Hall) and Kemptville (Riverside Park) runs kick off at 10 a.m. Most routes are bicycle, wheelchair and rollerblade accessible and available in a variety of distances, from 2K all the way up to 10K.
Being bored something that never paid off for Mary Lifestyle – The day was dragging on, too slowly to suit me. It was late summer, and my Saturday chores had been done hours before. Neither of my best friends could come to play. I was bored beyond belief! I sat on the cement step surrounding the boards at the pump in the middle of the yard, and curled dandelion stems, just the way my sister Audrey had taught me. They were laid out before me like a pile of pale green pencils. From the same cement stoop, I had played Jacks, but without someone to play with, I soon tired of that too. Then I braided long pieces of grass, another talent I learned from sister Audrey. I picked up stones around the pump with my toes. Then I piled them neatly on the platform. Finally, I resorted to letting them plop down the well between the boards, and listened to them drop in the well water below. It was a hot day for late in the summer. My three brothers had gone to the Bonnechere for a swim, and Audrey was visiting her friend Iva on the
next farm. There was nothing for me to do. I had dressed and undressed my dolls too often to count, and even Sport, our old Collie dog wasn’t interested in fetching a stick I threw out from my perch on the platform. I thought of going into the house and telling Mother I was bored, and there was nothing to do. But I knew from past experiences what kind of a reply that would earn me. “Well, get the ball of string out of the cupboard and knit a dishcloth. That will keep you busy for a while.” I hated knitting dishcloths with a passion. I hated knitting with a passion. Once my sister started me on making a scarf. Bright red wool it was. It didn’t take long to see that something was drastically wrong, when what I had knitted was turning into a complete circle. Audrey admitted there was a good possibility I would never be a knitter. I heard her say “hopeless” under her breath. And making dishcloths out of a ball of string that had come in pieces from Briscoe’s General Store was low on my list of fun things to do.

was always able to manage to create what could pass for a dish rag, even though I hated every last stitch I made. Beads of sweat were on my nose, and I looked over at the house with its blinds down, and the kitchen door tightly closed. I knew it would be cooler inside than where I was sitting. But what was I going to do when I went in? The house would be as dark as Mother could make it to keep out the summer heat, and I knew the Findlay Oval would be out. Mother had a talent for working when there was very little light. I pictured her sitting at the table stringing beans, or peeling potatoes, or doing some other kitchen chore that didn’t News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Jennifer Westendorp DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-284-0124 ,ext. 27 CLASSIFIEDS/REGIONAL ROUNDUP: Fax: 613-283-5909 Judy Michaelis Email: jmichaelis@perfprint.ca Lee Ann Gilligan Email: lgilligan@perfprint.ca Jennifer Coughlin Email: jcoughlin@perfprint.ca

require open windows. I went to the swing in the grape arbour. It was cooler, but not much, and there sure wasn’t any fun in swinging by myself! I even thought of phoning bad Marguirite to come over. I was desperate, I knew, but not that desperate. And the minutes ticked by. As slow as molasses in January! Well, there was nothing to do but head for the kitchen door. Maybe Mother would raise the blinds and I could look through the new Eaton’s catalogue that had arrived in the mail that week. Or maybe draw with the bits and pieces of chalk mother kept in a Watkin’s Baking Powder tin on the floor in front of the back door that lead upstairs. It was a flat door, just a slab, really, and a perfect spot to draw or write with chalk. The rule was, as soon as we finished, it had to be washed off completely. I opened the back door, and just as I thought, Mother was at the kitchen table, in the dim light, stringADVERTISING 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
ing beans. I shuffled in, letting out a big sigh, trying to gain sympathy from Mother, who could, as Audrey would say, “read any one of us like a book.” “Nothing to do, eh?” I knew right away. I was caught. Mother took her eyes off the beans long enough to nod her head towards the back-to-the wall cupboard. That’s all it took was one nod. I let out a big sigh...in fact, I sighed all the way to the cupboard. I reached into the basket that always sat on the bottom shelf, and took out the ball of string and the knitting needles sticking out of it. I got no sympathy from Mother as I headed for the kitchen door and the swing, with the string and the knitting needles. Never, ever in the 30s did you say you were bored and there was nothing to do if you were seven-years-old. In fact, all you had to do was look bored, and you knew what your fate was.

To facilitate growth, allowing more artists to participate, a move to the Fall River Restaurant’s river view location last year was a natural progression. To reflect the expansions, the name has been changed to Sundance Artisan Festival.

As always, the theme of Sundance is individual creativity with an element of reclaimed, recycled or natural materials, with impressions in wood, stone, cloth, metal, clay and other media. The original expressions of the returning artists will be complimented by new artists, and there are more than 30 set to participate this year. Along with visual art, patrons will enjoy the natural flavours of handcrafted organic food.

As hosts of the Sundance Festival, restaurant owners, Paul and Michele Zammit, recognize the tradition they are carrying forward and hope to expose the diversity of talent our area has to offer. “We have worked to include all the arts and make the Sundance Festival a complete experience for all the senses,” the Zammits said.

Top left, diners at the first restaurant , Cafe Postino, enjoyed a first course of salads, breadsticks and wine. Centre left, one of the salad options Postinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was a Caprese salad of tomatoes and cheese, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Tenant insurance advice for students moving away from home

perhaps purchasing a tenant’s policy. As each insurance company packages tenant insurance policies differently or calls the products by different names, they all (should) include two kinds of coverage – basic liability coverage and contents coverage. • You could be held responsible if your actions (e.g., leaving the bathtub running) caused damage to your apartment, your neighbours’ apartment(s) or the apartment building itself. Without insurance you would be personally liable for such costs. • You may also be held responsible for personal liability, if someone is injured in your home – even if it is one that you’re renting. They could sue you for any costs associated with the injury. • Landlords have relatively few le-

gal obligations to compensate tenants for damage to, or loss of, their personal possessions. Tenants are responsible for the harm they may cause to any part of the building in which they live or to others who live or visit there. • You should keep an up to date list of your belongings in case of theft, loss or damage. Have your child keep an accurate list of the belongings that he or she takes with them to school. This will make it easier to settle your insurance claim in the event of theft, fire or other risks. • All college and university residences have their own requirements and recommendations for students living on campus, check with your school before you move in.

Your child will likely bring expensive personal items such as electronics, computers, stereo equipment and furniture with them to their new home. Furthermore, they may be liable for any damage to the dwelling they are living in while away at school. Some home insurance policies provide coverage for personal property while away at school up to a certain limit, it’s best to check with your insurance representative on your coverage. Without the protection of home or tenant insurance you and your child are vulnerable to loss of damage to those possessions and other liability risks. Here are a few insurance considerations when your child is moving away from home: • Notify your insurance representative to review available coverages and
Lifestyle – With a new school year and fall season fast approaching, many students will be leaving the family home for college or university and moving in to rental accommodation closer to their post-secondary school. If you’re one of them or a parent of one, Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) wants you to know the importance of protecting your young student with property insurance. “With all the stress that comes with having your child move away for school, the last thing you want to worry about is a financially stressful situation that could have been avoided,” says Ralph Palumbo, IBC’s vice president, Ontario region. “Tenant insurance can protect your child and provide piece of mind to make this transition to school a smooth one.”

Great laughs and heartfelt friendship completes final film of Cornetto trilogy
Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It began with Shaun of the Dead, it continued in Hot Fuzz and now the Cornetto ice cream films are a trilogy with The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End. The best night of Gary Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Simon Pegg) life was the night he and his four best friends graduated school. Their goal was to complete The Golden Mile an epic pub crawl through twelve pubs starting at The First Post and ending at The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End. While they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish it that night has stood in Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind as perfect. That was 20 odd years ago, and Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends have moved on to have careers and lives of their own. Sadly however Gary has not. Gary is pathetically stuck in the past, and
he desperately wants to recapture the magic of that night. He wants to go back with his old friends and finish what they started. For reasons only old friends would understand Andy Knightley (Nick Frost), Steven Prince (Paddy Considine), Oliver Chamberlain (Martin Freeman), and Peter Page (Eddie Marsan) allow Gary to talk them into this crazed reunion. They begin the night with the bitter sweetness of old friend, and the tension of unresolved issues. Fortunately for Gary he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to deal with it because they get attacked by alien robots. Most of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents have been replaced with robot look-aR0012224644_0725
MOVIE: The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End STARRING: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman and Eddie Marsan DIRECTOR: Edgar Wright RATING: 14A
My Take MARK HASKINS
likes and Gary, Andy, Steven, Oliver and Peter have to figure out whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening. They must fight for their lives, their town and even the Earth, but most importantly to Gary they must fight to complete The Golden Mile. The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End begins as this funny yet sad comedy about old
friends. Then it moves into this outrageous action-comedy with some of the best bar fights Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen, and Edgar Wright does it so naturally you never think to question it. Your laughing so hard you just get swept away. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touching, and above all else itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hysterically funny, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this thread of genuine and heartfelt friendship that runs through this absurd battle for survival that elevates The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End to the realm of genius. I loved this cast and I loved these characters. Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan and Rosamund Pike, who plays Oliverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister Sam, are fantastic. They

had the perfect mix of sensitivity, emotion, camaraderie and comic timing. They also had bar brawling skills that bordered on the obscene. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are the greatest comic duo of the last ten years. No one has the chemistry they do, are as funny as they are, or able to pull off the kind of outrageous films they do. The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End may complete the Cornetto trilogy, but I hope it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean an end to their films. Genius is sometimes a hard term to describe or define. I think The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s End does a pretty good job of it. Mark Haskinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Service dogs They are also working with branches of the Royal Canadian Legion, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organization, in an effort to raise the money needed to buy 50 service dogs to assist 50 veterans in need. Cousineau says Thai has played a huge role in helping improve his situation. He wants to offer the same benefit to as many others who are in his position as possible. A former tactical co-ordinator on a Sea King helicopter, Cousineau has struggled ever since he participated in the dramatic rescue of two injured American fishermen off the coast of
Newfoundland in 1986. He says his life changed for the better when he received his service dog nearly two years ago. Cousineau has lost weight, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reduced his medication and he says he now deals better with stress and anger. The ex-soldier has an ambitious goal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to raise some $350,000. During his September visit to our region he hopes the generosity of residents will help him realize his financial objective. Details of the activities surrounding Cousineauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local walks will appear in this newspaper closer to the dates involved. He will be in Kemptville Sept. 14, Smiths Falls Sept. 15,
Perth on Sept. 16 and Carleton Place Sept. 17. Brian Comeau, first vice-president of Carleton Place Legion Branch 192, urges people to come out and participate in the local walks Cousineau and Thai will lead. In Carleton Place, for example, he will complete a morning walk of 20 kilometres on Tuesday, Sept. 17. In the afternoon Cousineau will speak to students at Carleton Place High School. The same evening a social event is planned at Branch 192. Similar activities are anticipated in all of the communities where the walk-a-thon is scheduled to touch down! Comeau says the only casualty so far (the walk is in Toronto and Central Ontario this week) is Cousineauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thai has been wearing out some days.

illnesses such as depression and general anxiety. As officialdom struggles to come to grips with the depth of the problem and the potential consequences for taxpayers, some veterans are starting their own campaigns to both raise awareness about PTSD and raise the funds necessary to assist victims. One such effort will arrive, by foot, in our area next month including stops in Kemptville, Smiths Falls, Perth and Carleton Place. More on that later! In May, I came across a newspaper article which outlined how some Canadian veterans of the war in Afghanistan took their own proactive approach in the battle against PTSD. A group of them came together to make a pilgrimage to the scene of what is still called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming of ageâ&#x20AC;?, the WW I battle of Vimy Ridge. The Canadian soldiers, all of whom are struggling with the effects of posttraumatic stress, visited the gigantic and impressive Canadian National Vimy Memorial. They hoped the carnage from one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most horrific battles could assist them as they try to come to grips with the horrors they experienced in Afghanistan. It was an emotional experience for each of them, according to news accounts. And I can totally understand that. Because in 1995 my wife and I accompanied a group of Eastern Ontario WW II vets and their wives to the Vimy Memorial, which tops the ridge by the same name. Vimy Ridge rises high above the Douai Plain in northwest France. It was easily one of the most meaningful experiences of my life! And I am not a veteran. Little wonder this yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experience at Vimy was so emotional for the veterans involved. I will however, correct one error that appeared in the newspaper story about that event. The article said the Vimy memorial has the names of the nearly 3,598 Canadians who died in the April 9, 1917 Battle of Vimy Ridge carved into its limestone base. In fact the Canadian National Vimy Memorial was erected in memory of the 11,285 Canadians who were killed in France during WW I and whose final resting place is unknown. It is their names that are etched on the base of the Vimy Memorial. In total more than 66,000 Canadians died during the First World War. The Afghan vets involved in the May pilgrimage to Vimy say the visit helped them make sense of their own war experiences. One army captain told the Canadian Press the fact the majority of Vimy veterans resumed their lives, while no doubt suffering the emotional after effects of the battle, leaves him with renewed hope for his own future. The spring visit took place with support from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wounded Warriors Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; an organization dedicated to raising awareness of mental health issues in the military. Meanwhile individual sufferers are also playing a part in the process. In mid-September a veteran, who says he has lived with PTSD for more than 25 years, will complete a walka-thon from his home in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia to Ottawa, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. Medric Cousineau is being accompanied by his PTSD service dog Thai. They are currently walking the equivalent of about a half-marathon each day as they aim to raise awareness
R0012270708_0822
Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The impact of war on soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental health has been a well-recognized but controversial subject for hundreds of years. Seventy years ago this month, during World War II, famed United States General George S. Patton was temporarily relieved of command after slapping not one, but two, hospitalized soldiers in separate incidents during the Sicilian campaign. Both men were psychological casualties although the first man, who Patton called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a cowardâ&#x20AC;? and ordered out of the infirmary, was not only traumatized but extremely ill. It was later learned the teenage private had malaria and was suffering from a high fever when Patton encountered him during a visit to a military hospital on the Mediterranean island. Although the public backlash nearly ended Pattonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career, it is doubtful the gung-ho general ever understood how seriously the horrors of war can affect soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mental health. And yet based on my research, during the Second World War for every battle casualty there were four psychological casualties. Incidents of what is now called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Post Traumatic Stress Disorderâ&#x20AC;? (PTSD) have been documented throughout history from ancient Greece to present. During the American Civil War it was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;soldierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartâ&#x20AC;?. During the First World War it was known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;shell shock.â&#x20AC;? During WW II, despite Pattonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obvious and dramatic skepticism, it was labeled â&#x20AC;&#x153;war neurosis.â&#x20AC;? In the 1960s and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;70s, during the Vietnam War, the terminology evolved to what was then described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;combat stress reaction.â&#x20AC;? Now more and more western soldiers, including Canadians, are coming forward to make claims for psychiatric disabilities, most notably PTSD. Not surprisingly governments, including Canadian administrations, have been decidedly cautious in approaching this subject. Understandably perhaps, they fear the financial consequences of applications for compensation filed by current and former military personnel who claim to be suffering from PTSD. The issue is certainly recognized by the Canadian Armed Forces. In 2002, the National Defence and Canadian Forces Ombudsman released a damning report which said our military was failing its sick soldiers. He made a number of recommendations which, in varying degrees, have since been acted upon. As recently as 2012, with Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s combat role in the war in Afghanistan winding down, there were calls for the armed forces to institute a â&#x20AC;&#x153;more responsible treatment programâ&#x20AC;? for Afghan veterans suffering PTSD. According to a 2011 Parliamentary report on PTSD and mental health in the Canadian Forces it was noted that between 25,000 and 35,000 armed forces members were expected to be discharged over the next five years (the period ends in 2016). Of that number it was estimated 2,750 will suffer from a severe form of PTSD.

From Winnipeg to Windsor in a 1938 Ford convertible Lifestyle – In the summer of 1958, when I was 16, my older brother John and I acquired a 1940 Buick Super coupe in our hometown of Leamington, Ontario. I spent my spare time that summer driving around Essex County in search of other old cars. One day, I saw a lavender-coloured (light purple) 1938 Ford convertible with rumble seat on a street in Windsor. I saw it again a few weeks later at Bob Gault’s FINA gas station in nearby Harrow. I never saw the car again until 55 years later, when the two photos you see here turned up, thanks to Bob Taylor of Kingsville, Ontario. I met Bob recently at the Leamington Chrysler dealership when our family car was in for servicing. He had owned a customized 1952 Plymouth convertible in Windsor in the late ‘50s and he said it had been a big hit at the Hi-Ho drive-in restaurant. When he mentioned the Hi-Ho, I immediately remembered the ’38 Ford ragtop I had seen over 50 years ago. With its nonoriginal paint job, it was the type of car that would show up at a drive-in restaurant and so I asked Bob if he remembered seeing it. Imagine my surprise when he told me the car was owned by his brother-inlaw, Chris Smith, and Bob remembers riding in the rumble seat! Chris owned
the car while stationed at an RCAF base in Winnipeg in 1956 and brought it with him when he moved to Windsor. I asked Bob if he had any photos. His sister Pat turned the house upsidedown and finally found the two you see here inside a Jaguar photo album! If this convertible was built in Canada, it had a Windsor factory price of $950 and Toronto-delivered for $1039 (license included). The engine was a flathead V8 with 221 cubic inches with 85 horsepower and a three-speed floor shift transmission. But the story doesn’t end here. Was it bought new in Manitoba? Who painted it lavender and when? Does anyone out there or down here have more photos of it? And – most exciting of all – is the car still around? Stay tuned. I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in this column will receive a free autographed copy of my latest book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

Vehicle vets and shop operators pass along tips to understand your ride Lifestyle - Other than reader letters and emails, I often find sources for topics for this column from dealership service departments and local repair shops. These vehicle vets and shop operators often want to pass along tips to improve customer understanding of a variety of issues which they hope lead to happier and more loyal clients. Here’s a few that have landed on my notepad recently. 1) Keep records. It’s no secret that a certain percentage of vehicle owners have routine maintenance done at a private or regional/national chain store rather than return to their OEM (original equipment manufacturer) dealership. But when it comes to having OEM warranty repairs done, only an authorized dealership can do the work. When it comes to any failure of internal engine or other fluid lubricated components on an older vehicle with high mileage, you can expect that you may have to produce copies of oil change and maintenance receipts. Fortunately just about every size and type of service centre uses some type of invoicing software that should let them reprint any missing invoice, but if all you ever get is a handwritten bill as a receipt, don’t count on it. 2) Why isn’t that covered? Manufacturer warranties only
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
cover defects in original workmanship and materials, not damage caused by outside sources/ forces. The one that always takes car owners for surprise is when a rodent or some other type of critter gets in or under a vehicle and chews through wiring, or hoses, or if a piece of road debris is kicked up by a wheel and impacts some under-carriage component. If a dealership is completing this inspection, they should prepare an estimate for your review as soon as their tech reports that he or she is not dealing with a warrantable situation. 3) Why isn’t that covered II? When a repair is covered under an OEM warranty, everything (parts, labour, fluids, and taxes) should be covered. About the only exceptions are towing invoice limitations (if required) and fluids that would normally been required due to maintenance schedules (e.g. replacing three month old engine oil after repairing an engine oil leak). Diagnostic time is always covered by the carmaker for a warrantable repair.
4) A unique story cropped up in Toronto recently that pointed out some unclear policies by insurance companies. A vehicle that was involved in a collision ended up in storage at a local body-shop. A disagreement developed between the shop and the insurance company over the daily storage fee. The shop wanted $100 per day and the insurance company would only pay $60 per day. The insured in question, no longer owned the vehicle (it was apparently written off in the collision), but was named as plaintiff in a law-suit the insurance company initiated against the shop over the storage fees. The insurance company is firm that their actions are allowed under the driver’s policy but will remove the driver’s name from the suit if asked. The point of the story here is to exercise your right to have your vehicle taken to the shop or storage facility of your choice in the event of a collision.

by philanthropic organizations and sent to Canada in hopes of securing a better future for them. After traveling to Canada by ship and spending time at one of the many receiving homes located in this country, the British Home Child would often travel to their new ‘home’ via train. There is little doubt that many of these littlest of immigrants would have been found waiting in or near a building such as the Aultsville train station for pickup by their new ‘family’. It is for this reason that the Ontario East British Home Child Family, which seeks to preserve
and promote the story of the British Home Child, approached Upper Canada Village to seek permission to house a collection of memorabilia and information on British Home Children in Canada at the Aultsville station. The Aultsville station will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays from Aug. 31 to Sept. 28. For further information on the exhibit, the organization or plans for the second anniversary, British Home Child Day in Ontario event to be held on Sept. 28 at Upper Canada Village, please contact Glenna Walkden at 613543-0421.

Lifestyle – Ontario East British Home Child Family (ODBHCF), in partnership with Upper Canada Village, is pleased to announce that the Aultsville train station will house a British Home Child exhibit on weekends from Aug. 31 to Sept. 28. Between the 1860s and the 1930s, more than 100,000 impoverished children from the British Isles were sent to Canada, many here in the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville region, to work as indentured servants in the homes of farms of this country. These children, ranging in age from infancy to 16 years, were removed from their homes

Downtown Balderson probably has fewer residents than the posted speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour, but it does have Ema Lee Fashions, the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley. When Emily Desjardine and Gerry McSweeney bought the old general store in Balderson, situated seven kilometres north of Perth in 2002, there was quite a buzz going around. They were called crazy, told to bulldoze it down and that their business would never succeed. With one year of hard work and persistence, the renovations were complete and their business began. Ten years later Ema Lee Fashions, which is open seven days a week, is still going strong. Well known for its vast selection of ladies apparel, purses, bathing suits and men’s shirts, the demographic area of returning customers and new visitors keeps growing larger and larger. “We have customers from Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto, just to name a

few, but I find it absolutely amazing to think that from this little hamlet, our clothes have travelled all around the world,” Desjardine said. “But our success could not be possible without our dedicated staff and the support from the surrounding areas,” she continued. “It’s nice to hear customers tell us that while visiting Perth, the ladies from the Chamber of Commerce sent them our way.” In 2007, Ema Lee Fashions was named as ‘The best in Canada’ for destination shopping. Customers sum it up by commenting, “If you can’t find anything here, you’re not shopping,” and
“What a hidden treasure.” Another French visitor said “Ca vaut le detour,” (It’s worth the detour.) While visiting Ema Lee Fashions, you can also enjoy breakfast or lunch at the quaint Balderson Café, buy local produce and all-natural ice cream at Balderson Fine Foods or treat yourself to some homemade pies, bread and lemon squares from Anne & Vanessa’s Bake Shop. All of the stores are adjacent to each other. Across the road, you will find Balderson Village Cheese, The Amish Store and Cora’s Gift Shop. There’s plenty to discover in Downtown Balderson!

OPP veteran of Caledonia dispute to temporarily lead county detachment By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
News – Acting Inspector Stephanie Patterson has learned a lot that she never hopes she needs to use in her new role. Patterson took over as the acting detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP on Aug. 12, following the announcement of the retirement of outgoing Insp. Gerry Salisbury. But after her time dealing with the tense standoff between First Nations people and developers in Caledonia, she is looking forward to a quieter posting. Several years ago, a tense land dispute erupted between the Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation and developers of suburban housing in southern Ontario. As part of the OPP’s provincial liaison team, born out of the Ipperwash Inquiry, Patterson worked with the First Nations’ people, “building bridges with them,” she said during an interview in her new office at the Perth headquarters of the OPP on Wednesday, Aug. 21. Overall, the tense situation “was challenging, absolutely. There was a lot of dialogue that had to go on. My role was explaining what the OPP’s role was there.” Patterson was quick to point out that she was not alone in Caledonia, and was backed up by “hundreds and hundreds of officers there.” What made her job difficult, in an already tense situation, was the expectation by some that the OPP could simply roll in and solve the problems, to their side’s satisfaction.

Acting Inspector Stephanie Patterson, interim detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, stands beside one of the OPP’s cruisers on a recent sunny day in Perth. “It’s not really the OPP’s role to work out he differences in land disputes,” said Patterson. “We were there to make sure that while the government is sorting it out that people stay safe…Nobody has been killed there, thank God, but there has been a lot of heartache for people.” She had had a type of foreshadowing of this dispute during her first posting near the Akwesasne Mohawk First Nation. “I remember hearing the stories from Akwesasne when I was a rookie,” she said. Looking back on Caledonia, it is not the flashpoints she remembers, but the people. “You come away with a lot deeper appreciation of the
Team
issues and what people face in those situations,” she said. She found that both non-native Caledonia residents and First Nations members she spoke to were “good people who cared about their communities,” but their actions often did not make the news. “The attention wouldn’t be drawn to people trying to work behind the scenes to make peace,” she said. Patterson was born in Winchester, and was raised in Metcalfe, where she still lives. She attended Osgoode Township High School before heading out to take English Literature at the University of Western Ontario in London. “I always had an inkling about policing,” said Patterson. “You don’t always know
what you want to do when you get an arts degree.” However, she has made her readings of Jane Austen and essay writing work for her in her job as the county’s interim top cop. “It has helped me with any oral and written communication skills,” she said. “You’re probably a bit more flamboyant in university with writing…(but in court it’s) just the facts. That’s what the judge wants to hear.” After graduation, she sold insurance, and later helped manage a retirement fund, but, by that time, the call of the police siren had grown too loud, and she was already in the process of applying to the OPP. She was accepted and spent her first 16 weeks at the Ontario Police College
in Aylmer. After she graduated, she was assigned to a “coach officer,” a mentor of sorts, in Long Sault, near Cornwall. She had a homecoming of sorts when she was posted to Winchester, before being moved to the provincial communications centre in Smiths Falls. After her stint there, she began her time with the liaison team in Caledonia, followed by a posting to Napanee and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, during the Robertsville Mine protests. She returned to eastern Ontario as a detachment commander in Napanee, essentially the detachment commander’s second in command. She then transferred to the same position back in Long Sault in the United Counties of Stormont, Glengarry, and Dundas. Her final move has been to the East Region headquarters outside of Smiths Falls, where she will return once Salisbury’s replacement has been found. “They gave me this opportunity and I have gladly accepted,” she said. The deadline for applications for Salisbury’s fulltime position have already been closed, and now OPP brass are sifting through the applications, though no date has been set for interviews. With her calm, focused demeanor, and steady but polite gaze, Patterson said she is not intent on making waves, or bringing in major changes, during her time in Salisbury’s old chair. “I want to keep things moving along as it has been, making this transition as smooth as possible,” she said. Already, after so long see-
ing Salisbury at the head of the local police hierarchy, with a new commander on the horizon, possibly as soon as November, big changes “may happen with the new person…everybody had a different leadership style.” To enact any major changes now, “would not be fair to the members. Consistency is part of what makes things run smoothly.” Also, she and her officers are too busy with the end of summer rush to try to deal with any new changes. “(It is) a busy time in the policing world, and resources are stretched with people on vacation,” she said. The population of the county increases as cottagers head to their second home, boaters hit the lakes and rivers, and both clog up the county’s roads. “I expect that the long weekend will be busy,” she said of the Labour Day holiday. She has not been out on patrol yet with her officers, but has attended police services board meetings in Perth and Tay Valley Township. On the personal side of things, at the end of her hourlong commute each day, she has a husband, a lineman for Hydro Ottawa, and two sons, one entering Grade 8, the other entering Grade 11. She enjoys golfing in the summer, curling in the winter, and best of all, “I love going to the rink to watch my boys play hockey,” she said with pride. “My husband is a good guy,” she adds. “He’s the main taxi!” what with the unpredictable hours of police work.

It starts with one step; Walk to End Childhood Cancers Sept. 14 Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario’s (CHEO). Bridget’s mother’s (Christy McNeely Zavitske) family is from Carleton Place and her father’s (Dave Zavitske) is from Renfrew. She has three siblings: Maddy, Stella and Miller. “I worry for Christy because she has other children she has to help deal with their emotions,” said Tammy.

Community – Taking care of a seriously ill child is one of the most draining and difficult tasks a parent can face. Each year, approximately 400 children are diagnosed with cancer in Ontario. “Going through cancer with my son was hard and stressful,” said Tammy Devlin, organizer of the upcoming Walk to End Childhood Cancers, “and it affects the entire family.” Dylan Devlin, 16, just completed his two-year treatment for T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. He had a tumor near his heart. “Not only are you extremely worried about losing your child, you’re worried about how your entire family is coping,” said Tammy, “and you try very hard to keep everybody positive.” So focused on her son while he was sick, Tammy’s daughter (Kourtney Devlin) developed severe anxiety and depression. “Suddenly, I found myself helping her as well,” she said. “Kourtney felt so alone and not important.” An added stress Financial ruin should not be a cancer side effect; however, a number of families of children with the disease experience money problems. Luckily, in Tammy’s case, she wasn’t alone. “We received a lot of support from the community,” she said, “as well as family, friends and co-workers.” Tammy and her children reside in Mississippi Mills, and she is employed

at Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor. A fundraising dance in the fall of 2011 brought in approximately $15,000 to help cover a variety of expenses, including living, travel and medical. “I can’t begin to tell you how thankful we were,” said Tammy. Now, she wants to give back, pay it
forward. “I was inspired by a special little girl – six-year-old Bridget Rose Zavitske,” she said. From Dunrobin, Bridget has stage IV Wilms tumor, a rare kidney cancer. It has already cost her a kidney, and it has also spread to her lungs and lymph nodes. She is receiving treatment at the
Every step helps The Walk to End Childhood Cancers takes place on Sept. 14 in Carleton Place, beginning at Carambeck Community Centre and ending at the Thirsty Moose Pub & Eatery. “The walk commences at 2 p.m.,” said Tammy, “and proceeds will benefit Bridget’s family and Candlelighters.” A not-for-profit volunteer organization, Candlelighters offers comfort and resources to young cancer patients (and their families) in eastern Ontario. “Before the walk, local entertainer Johnny Spinks, along with his son will perform light music at the community centre,” said Tammy. Candlelighters will have a display table, selling pins, offering information and accepting private donations. “T-shirts and bracelets will also be for sale,” said Tammy. An Ontario Provincial Police car with sirens on and lights flashing will signal the start of the walk. “Childhood cancer patients and their families will lead the way, carrying a special banner,” said Tammy, “and participating teams may also carry banners.” Walkers are encouraged to wear the colour of the childhood cancer they are
walking for. Orange is the colour for kidney cancer. “Members of the Carleton Place Canadians Junior A hockey team will be taking part in the walk,” said Tammy, “as well as the Big Strong Ones (world class strongman competitors).” In the municipal parking lot on Bridge Street (near The Eating Place), SRC Music will offer entertainment, and there will also be clowns and face painting for children. Complimentary bottled water will be distributed. The week of the event, an impressive silent auction will be on display outside the local CIBC branch, and at the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market and outside the Thirsty Moose Pub & Eatery on Sept. 14. “The Barking Spiders will perform at the pub that evening,” said Tammy. The cost to register is $20 for adults. Children are free. Pledge forms will be available upon registration. Walkers can register by Sept. 1 at the following locations: 28 Frank St. (Carleton Place), 153 Concession 5A Ramsay (Mississippi Mills) and 357 Megan Dr. (Beckwith). Prizes will be handed out in a number of categories: most money collected, most enthusiastic, most creative and so on. There is a tough road ahead for Bridget and her family, but knowing she has much love and support behind her helps tremendously, said Tammy. Other events in the area are being held for Bridget.

SEPTAGE CHARGE ON 2013 TAX BILL
The following explanation provides information on the septage charge on the 2013 tax bill. Municipalities in the Province of Ontario are governed by many pieces of Provincial legislation with the broadest one being the Municipal Act. This Act provides authority to municipalities “to provide any service or thing that the municipality considers necessary or desirable for The remaining 50% cost of the project will be paid for the public…” and includes such items as highways, by a $1,000 donation from Branch 240 of the Royal public utilities, waste management, recreation, culture, $BOBEJBO -FHJPO B 5PXO SFTFSWF JO UIF BNPVOU PG economic development, health, safety and well-being of $6,700 and the balance by taxation. persons and protection of persons and property.

Although they 613-256-2064 ext. 225 may not be used by all the residents of Mississippi Mills, they are used by significant numbers.

When Council determines what services people with disabilities to do the things most of us take to provide (some of which are mandatory and some are for granted - things like visiting a facility, participating discretionary) to meet the needs of the community, it does so in a manner that is best for the majority of in community activities or seeking services. residents. THE EMC - A/CP2 - Thursday, August 29, 2013
In 2010, Council made the decision to proceed with the construction of a new Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) that included the ability to treat septage from those properties not serviced by water and sewer services. Council was motivated by a desire to eliminate the spreading of human septage waste on licensed agricultural fields within Mississippi Mills. The capital cost of building the septage treatment component of the WWTP is 5.76% ($1,424,231) of the overall construction cost of the entire facility ($24,720,000). Some residents may choose not to have their septage waste treated at the new facility just as some residents do not use the library or the arena. However, like the arena and the library, the WWTP is available to those residents who choose to use it. When Council determines the services it will provide to its residents, the services have to be funded. Council does its best to apply for available grants to help offset costs, charges fees for use in some instances and then pays for the balance of services through taxation. With regard to the WWTP including septage, the Town was successful in obtaining a 2/3 (1/3 Federal/ 1/3 Provincial) grant to help pay for the construction of the entire WWTP including septage. The Town will raise another portion of the cost through Development Charges (charged to new rural development within the Town for the septage component only). Finally, the balance of the capital costs of the septage component (24% of the overall capital cost) is being paid for by eligible property owners through a one-time $115 charge on the 2013 final tax bill. In closing, the municipality has the ability to fund the services it provides its residents through taxation and fees. The taxpayer does not have the option to pay for some services and not others.

Soak up history, fun at 18th annual Fibrefest Sept. 7 and 8 in Almonte By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca
Community – Get ready to soak up the history – and fun – at the 18th annual Fibrefest. This much anticipated event of textile history in Mississippi Mills, demonstrations and vendors will take place the weekend of Sept. 7 and 8, and is sure to be bigger and better than ever before. “I’m really looking forward to having everyone come out and enjoying what I have put together,” said Michael Rikley-Lancaster, curator of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, which hosts the event. The festival, which is meant to celebrate Almonte’s rich history with tex-
tiles, is a two-day celebration of fabrics, yarns, threads and more. When it began 18 years ago the show featured around 15 to 30 vendors and has now grown to host more than 90. “The festival has always been a really big success,” said Rikley-Lancaster. Beginning on Saturday, more than 50 textile and craft vendors will fill the festival’s two locations, the museum and the Almonte Community Centre, to sell and showcase their products. Location The festival was originally scheduled to be held in three locations around Almonte, but the third venue, the Almonte Curling Club, had to

“It’s sure to be a big hit.” Tweed Ride Unfortunately, the popular Tweed Ride has been cancelled this year, much to everyone’s disappointment. “The co-ordinators of the ride said they are tired,” said Rikley-Lancaster. “They’re saving their energy to make it bigger for next year.” Even without the Tweed Ride, this year’s Fibrefest should be one to remember, said Rikley-Lancaster. “We have a lot of new features this year that are sure to make up for the Tweed Ride,” he added. The festival runs on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. More information can be found at www.mvtm.ca.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The nights are getting longer, the days a little cooler and the backto-school items are flying off of the shelves. Summer is winding down, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t still have fun. On Wednesday, Sept. 11, locals will have the chance to register for dozens of fall activities and groups at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Mississippi Mills at a Glance event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a really great opportunity for new residents, and long-time ones, to come and see what it out there and to sign up for fall activities,â&#x20AC;? said Tiffany MacLaren, community economic and cultural developer for Mississippi Mills. The event, which will be held at the Almonte Community Centre from 7 to 9 p.m., will feature around 50 booths of organizations, groups and activities for kids and adults to sign up for over the fall season. Curling clubs, drama groups and sports teams, as well as Girl Guides and Brownies are some of the exhibits that locals can expect to find there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The groups will often bring registration forms
to the event for people to sign up right away and a lot of them fill their lists that night,â&#x20AC;? MacLaren said. MacLaren stated that people are always a fan of the event, because it allows them to discover groups that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t previously know about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were some events there last year that even I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; field naturalists group locally that children can join.â&#x20AC;? Booths will be available for rent for $10 each; the cost of the tables will go to offset the costs of advertising the event, said MacLaren. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great way for local organizations to connect with the local people,â&#x20AC;? MacLaren said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always have a good turnout of people who want to see what is out there.â&#x20AC;? Exhibitors who wish to set up at the event should register with the recreation and culture department of Mississippi Mills as soon as possible by calling 613256-1077. MacLaren recommended vendors let her know if a power hook-up is required at their booth. More information about the event can be found at the Mississippi Mills Facebook page.

Local birds start their preparations for fall migration south Lifestyle – The birds are preparing for fall migration. Driving to a roadside stand to buy fresh corn, 17 Barn Swallows were lined up along the telephone wires. The adult shorebirds are already on their way south. We need to check out all the waterways with mud flats that are excellent stopover places for these birds to feed.

Carleton Place adopts Official Plan, sets future vision By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – Carleton Place council adopted the new Official Plan (OP) for the municipality on July 23. An OP is reviewed every five years. Pierre Mercier and Jane Almond, planning consultants with McIntosh Perry, were hired by the town to assist in preparing the document. Mercier said he’s been working with Lisa Young, the town’s director of planning and development, as well as council and other staff for more than a year to develop a 20-year plan for Carleton Place. “The OP lays the framework (what you can and cannot do), but the development permit bylaw (DPB) is yet to come,” he said, “and there will be public meetings.” Almond will facilitate the renewal of the DPB. Staff has been working with Carleton Place’s current DPB for
the last three years. Both the OP and DPB manage planning for the municipality. “They are important documents because everything that happens on land is going to be controlled by these documents in one form or another,” said Mercier. An OP spells out the town’s general use planning policies; makes sure growth is synchronized and meets the community’s needs; helps residents understand how their property may be used now and in the future; helps decide where roads, watermains, sewers, garbage dumps, parks and other services will be built; provides a outline for establishing municipal zoning bylaws to set local regulations and standards; provides a way to evaluate and settle conflicting land uses while meeting local, regional and provincial interests; and shows council’s commitment to the future growth of the community. Opportunities for public review and input were provided prior to
the town adopting the OP. The OP is now being submitted to the County of Lanark – the approval authority for the document. Copies of the OP are available for examination at the Town Hall, located at 175 Bridge Street, or on the town’s website: www.carletonplace.ca.

Time to give Ottawa its casino cut Opinion – Ottawa’s top doctor says a new casino would be bad for our health. No argument there. A casino invites customers to gamble their hard-earned cash, promising a big payoff if they win. The problem is most people don’t win. For many, dropping a couple hundred dollars at the craps tables and slot machines is simply the price of admission for an enjoyable night out on the town. For some, casinos feed an uncontrollable addiction, encouraging people to gamble away their rent money, retirement savings, or in extreme cases their home. But these addicts are a minority, the cost of doing business. And casinos are big business for both municipalities and the province, taking in hundreds of millions of dollars from residents – an inelastic source of income. Dr. Isra Levy, Ottawa’s chief medical officer of health, who is obviously a
realist, realizes the city will be unable to resist the lure of building a casino. As a realist, Levy is recommending the city pump $2 million into communitybased gambling treatment services, a steep increase from the $741,000 the Champlain Local Health Integration Network currently receives to fund programs in Ottawa, a number that hasn’t changed since 2007. He is also recommending the municipality allocate 6.5 per cent of its annual take of casino revenue, which amounts to around $350,000 of what the city currently receives from the Rideau-Carleton Raceway slots, to gambling prevention programs run by Ottawa Public Health. Levy’s recommendations are a reasonable compromise. If the city turns down the opportunity to build a casino, people will simply head across the Ottawa River to gamble at

Casino du Lac-Leamy in Gatineau, which is what many residents, including those from Lanark County, already do. Since Lac-Leamy first opened in 1996, millions of local and tourist dollars have travelled out of Ottawa and Ontario to the Gatineau casino. Every last cent lost at the Gatineau
casino ends up in Quebec coffers. Simply put, we want our cut. We can continue to do nothing and watch money leave the province and the city, or we can try and keep a slice of one very large pie. If there are going to be casinos, it’s critical that the profits do some good for Ottawans and Ontarians.

During this process, Patrick continually spoke to our son while assessing his vital signs and passing that information along to a woman who was kind enough to speak on the phone with 911. I believe the name of the woman was Brenda Harold and I apologize if I have your name incorrect due to the confusion of the day. We wish to thank you immensely for your help and your support and wish we could have sent you a personal thank you to show our appreciation. We also wish to praise the staff at the Carleton Place Walmart for all of their help and especially an employee by the name of Brenda who was kind enough to take our older son over to McDonald’s and get an ice cream cone for he and his sister to distract them from the stressful situation. We also appreciated their concern by asking us to let them know how our son was doing when we could. Thank you again to Patrick for your quick offer of help,
your expertise, your reassurances and for being there to pass along all of the pertinent information to the paramedics when they arrived. Thank you to the paramedics from the Almonte ambulance service for your wonderful work and compassionate care. Thank you to Dr. Roy, all of the wonderful nurses and the helpful woman at the desk of the Carleton Place District Memorial Hospital emergency for your prompt, professional and compassionate care. Dr. Roy was extremely helpful in explaining what was happening and helping to ease our worries. We can’t begin to thank everyone enough for their help and we apologize if we have missed anyone. We were truly blessed to be surrounded by so many supportive people that day. Our son is doing well and returning to his fun-loving, happy-go-lucky self which we are so grateful for.

DEAR EDITOR: I have often read Letters to the Editor where people have shared their stories of being on the receiving end of goodwill from a stranger and would like to share our story to recognize and to thank everyone that helped us in our time of need. Recently we were in the Walmart in Carleton Place picking up a prescription for our 18-month-old son who we had just had to the doctor. He was due for his next dose of Tylenol in half an hour when he suddenly experienced a febrile seizure due to a rapid spike in his temperature. We rushed him to the front of the store in hopes of finding someone with medical knowledge who could help him until an ambulance arrived. Upon hearing my husband’s calls for someone to dial 911, an off-duty firefighter by the name of Patrick Lemieux immediately offered his assistance and proceeded to place our son in the correct position while he helped him through

Tips on easing the transition from summer to fall studies have shown that people returning to work after a lengthy absence, due to illness or injury, have a successful return to work if they return on a Wednesday or Thursday. Returning on a Monday makes that first week back seem extremely long, and can elevate the stress. If you return in the middle of the week, it makes the weekend closer, and you can organize yourself better for the first full week back.
By Rich Nightingale, RN How many times have we heard or said, “I need a vacation to recover from my vacation”. Your summer vacation is full of activities, many meant to decrease your stress, and yet, as it comes to an end, the thought of returning to work, or school, can be stressful. The majority of us can’t follow one vacation with another, unless we quit work or win the lottery while on vacation. So what is the best way to get back in the swing of things? Here are a few tips, which may make the transition back to the grind, a little easier. First, get your sleep cycle back in sync. While on vacation, we tend to stay up later and sleep in longer. A few days before returning to work, go to bed at the time you would when you’re working the next day. You may stay awake a little longer than usual, which is why you need to start the routine a few days before
returning. Don’t feel you have to get up at the same time; at first, set your alarm for an hour after the usual time you get up for work. On the day before returning to work, set it for half an hour before your usual rising time. The more rested you are, the less stressful the first week back will be. Second, if you can arrange it, return to work from your vacation in the middle of the week. Many
Finally, bring a memento back to your workstation, such as a photo or souvenir from your vacation, to remind you of the good, relaxing time you had. Taking a minute or two to reflect on how much you enjoyed your vacation is a great distraction from the stress of your job. Rich Nightingale, RN, is a Mental Health Community Nurse with Lanark County Mental Health, which is a valued partner of Almonte General Hospital that provides service to patients from an office located within the Hospital.

Annual Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Expo Sept. 13 in Almonte will be bigger than ever before kkent@perfprint.ca
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Fall is the season of children: school starts again and it seems that all the commercials, ads and activities are focused solely on them. The good news for seniors is that fall is also the time when the annual Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Expo rolls into Mississippi Mills. On Friday, Sept. 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., seniors will be the guests of honour at the third annual Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Expo taking place at the Almonte Community Centre. Geared towards the 50+ age group, the expo boasts more than 70 exhibitions, presentations and demonstrations that are sure to inform and entertain the older crowd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we had 73 exhibi-
tors,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Mills of Mills Community Support, who help organize the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we hope to be even a bit bigger than that.â&#x20AC;? Presenters like Fit Minds, an organization that aims to help dementia patients stabilize or even improve their condition through brain training; Vial of Life, which aids seniors in organizing medical information for easy access for emergency personnel; and Don Wiles, a local author who wrote â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the World in 80 Years,â&#x20AC;? will be there to share their information with attendees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great opportunity for seniors to come and see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s out there. All of the exhibitors have something to offer,â&#x20AC;? Mills said. The exhibitions are not only educational, though. Some booths will be advertising activities and
classes, so locals could find themselves a few new hobbies while theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there. The Mississippi Mills Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Expo was established three years ago by Mills Community Support, who got the idea from a new resident who had moved from Brockville and had attended a similar event there. The first year the event was held at the Almonte Civitian building, but they quickly outgrew the space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had great success over the last couple of years,â&#x20AC;? said Mills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect it to keep getting bigger.â&#x20AC;? The event was then moved to the Almonte Community Centre, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to outgrow that location as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have exhibitions inside and outside this year,â&#x20AC;? said Mills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to put
some of them outside because there just wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough room inside.â&#x20AC;? The event itself has free admission, but a lunch will be provided by the Almonte Legion for a small fee. The arena, said Mills, will be made fully accessible to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. Multiple boards will be removed from the arenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edges to make several entryways and there will be plenty of seating. The event attracts more than 500 people each year and offers seniors a chance to network, but also for businesses to get their name out in the crowd. Exhibitioners who feel the Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Expo would be a good fit for Submitted photo their business can call Mills ComA photo from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Expo.

MHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present board. Rhonda is an Auxiliary member. Riders have the option of selecting from travel routes, ranging from 300 kilometres (km) and under. The Ride of Splendor offers prizes, awards and dice roll (riders roll at four locations along the route). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ask everyone to be back at the curling club by 2:30 p.m.,â&#x20AC;? said Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lunch, which is beef on a bun and salad, is served from 2 to 3 p.m.â&#x20AC;?

Algae and aquatic plants play an important ecological role in lakes and rivers and they should be present. They are the first, vital links in a natural food chain that all other water creatures rely on including insects, frogs, minnows, small fish right up to top predators like bass, muskie and lake trout. Under normal circumstances, they also produce large amounts of oxygen helping to keep the water quality in a healthy state. So they are very important, but too much of a good thing can be very bad! During warm weather, populations of algae and aquatic vegetation can grow quickly to form large masses. As the mass grows and expands, algae and plants at the lower
OPP ramping up for last summer long weekend of year News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With the last of the summer long weekends only days away, the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is giving advance notice that they will be honing in on distracted drivers as part of the heightened enforcement they have planned over this Labour Day weekend. With kids heading back to school next week, distracted driving is of particular concern to the OPP as distraction-related collision fatalities in OPP jurisdiction continue to surpass impaired drivingrelated deaths this year. According to the OPP, everyone travelling on roads and highways should be equally concerned about this alarming trend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people would not get into a vehicle with an impaired driver and they are at as much risk in the presence of a distracted driver as an impaired driver,â&#x20AC;? says Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander of the OPP Highway Safety Division. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If drivers do not have the good sense to stop this dangerous behaviour on their own, I encourage passengers to take responsibility for their own safety by speaking up. If you are a passenger in a vehicle and the driver is not completely focused on driving, is talking on a
cell phone or even worse â&#x20AC;&#x201C; texting, remind them that they are endangering your life and that you want them to stop.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far this year, 47 of the 177 people killed in motor vehicle collisions in OPP jurisdiction involved distracted driving, compared to 32 impaired driving-related collision deaths,â&#x20AC;? said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial Commander of Traffic Safety and Operational Support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our statistics make it clear beyond a doubt that road users need to pay greater attention to this problem and get on board with our efforts to stop it rather than wait for a devastating tragedy to occur.â&#x20AC;? Speeding and other aggressive driving behaviour, impaired driving and seat belt compliance will also be on the OPPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radar over the long weekend. Boaters and off-road vehicle (ORV) users should also be prepared to see a strong OPP presence on waterways and trails, with ORV fatalities up 80 per cent and marine fatalities up more than 15 per cent this year. For more information on the OPP, visit www. opp.ca. Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) wants to know if you are seeing more algae blooms and aquatic plants in our local lakes and rivers. In response to what seems to be an increasing number of concerns about algae and aquatic plants, a survey has been created to help better understand the current perception of their growth. But the survey wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be around forever! Comments are being accepted until Aug. 31 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so now is the time to get involved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Current results show 82 per cent of respondents have noticed an increase of algae on their water body in recent years,â&#x20AC;? says Kaitlin Brady, RVCA resource technician. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed changes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we want to hear from you. We need all sides of the story so we can get a better idea of local conditions and concerns.â&#x20AC;? The survey should take 15 to 20 minutes to complete and can be completed online at http://www.

SMITH – Jamie and Sylvia, along with Griffin and Emerson are truly grateful and blessed for the safe arrival of Rigsby Lawrence Smith, born October 20th, 2012, weighing 4 lbs. 10 oz., and 17.3” in length. Proud grandparents are Larry and Debbie Smith and Tom and Beth Graham. A nephew for Christina Smith and Allison Graham. A great grandson for Eva (the late Bert) Young and Ken and Audrey Smith. We couldn’t imagine life without you. I’ve seen the appreciation for life in the soul of a one minute old... I’ve seen the determination to succeed in an hour old... I’ve seen the unfailing will to live in a day old... I’ve seen the refusal to give up in the eyes of a two day old... I’ve seen a determined soul tell the world that it can be done. I’ve seen a miracle... And it’s the most humbling experience I have ever felt. “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.” I love you and I’m so proud of who you already have become. You are truly an inspiration! Papa

MORPHY, Leone – In loving memory of our dear mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, nanny, sister and aunt who passed away August 7, 2008. She is gone, but not forgotten, As it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of her are always near. To us you were so special, What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts, That you were here today. They say that time heals everything, But we know it isn’t so, Because it hurts as much today, As it did five years ago. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by all your family
TAYLOR, Adam – In loving memory of Adam who left us tragically on August 31, 2008. The After Loss Credo I need to talk about my loss. I may often need to tell you what happened – or ask you why it happened. Each time I discuss my loss, I am helping myself face the reality of the death of my loved one. I need to know that you care about me. I need to feel your touch, your hugs. I need you just to be with me. (And I need to be with you.) Please don’t judge me now – or think that I’m behaving strangely. Remember I’m grieving. I may even be in shock. I may feel afraid. I may feel deep rage. I may even feel guilty. But above all, I hurt. I’m experiencing a pain unlike any I’ve ever felt before. Don’t worry if you think I’m getting better And then suddenly I seem to slip backward. Grief makes me behave this way at times, And please don’t tell me you “know how I feel”, or that it’s time for me to get on with my life. (I am probably already saying this to myself.) What I need now is time to grieve and to recover. Most of all, thank you for being a friend. Thank you for your patience Thank you for caring. Thank you for helping, for understanding. Thank you for praying for me. And remember, in the days or years ahead, after your loss – when you need me as I have needed you – I will understand. And then I will come and be with you. Barbara Hills LesStrang Love Mom (Carolyn, nee Himmelman), Dad (Cemmis), brothers Vernon and David, Pa (Vernon) and Shirley and Fred. Family and friends who treasured Adam’s life as we did are invited to join us at Hillcrest Cemetery on August 31, at 8:30 p.m. for a Candle Vigil in honour of Adam and the 5th anniversary of his death. (Please bring your own candle). A special thanks to Wanda from Wal-Mart for the beautiful poem.

new books and magazine subscriptions are on the way. CPHS school council, led by co-chairs Jonathan Curtis and Lisa Meabry, did the lion’s share of the fundraising. “The community support and generosity for this program made the difference and is appreciated by all involved. The real winners here are the nearly 800 local kids who will incrementally benefit from this completely revamped facility and new innovative program,” Curtis commented. “We were humbled by the outpouring of community support for this project,” added CPHS principal Eric Hardie. “The Learning Commons project went from a discussion point at a school council meeting in December to a completed project in just seven months. The quick response of the community allowed us to go from vision to reality in a very short time.” The Learning Commons was officially opened at the end of June but will be available to all of the students at CPHS this September on a daily basis.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kids had a blast beating the heat at the annual Sprinkler Party, held at the Mill of Kintail Aug. 21. A sprinkler, which was provided by fire chief Art Brown and the Mississippi Mills Fire Department, ran off of a tanker truck and provided the children with hours of water-filled fun. Above left, a little girl tests the temperature of the water. Above right, kids and adults were welcome to get their faces painted. Right, kids covered themselves in shaving cream beards and hats at one station. Top right, future archaeologists dig up a dinosaur skeleton.

COLUMN From page A/CP8
Arbour told us it was time to move onto our next location, which she revealed to be the Almonte Riverside Kitchen. So the guests paid their drink bills and filed out onto the sidewalk in front of the café. As we made the short walk across the bridge to the second restaurant, I learned that many in our group were not locals. Some people had come from as far as Ottawa and Arnprior – one lady had even driven from Toronto – to be there. The Almonte Riverside Kitchen is located in a huge stone building on the river and has a beautiful, quaint kitchen that looks much like a home kitchen; you feel as though you’re eating at mom’s – but with much fancier food. Here I sat with a group of three women who were long-time friends and Arbour. The ladies were a riot and we had a lot of laughs. We enjoyed an amuse bouche of pulled pork on a crostini that was the perfect blend of salty, crunchy and tender. Our main courses, which we had chosen earlier in the evening, arrived soon after everyone had ordered more wine. Some had a ceviche of scallops served with cherry tomatoes, while
others, including me, had a corn tortilla stuffed with molé chicken (a Mexican preparation with a sauce made of chilies and chocolate, among other things) and tomatoes, served on a puree of refried corn. The dishes were delicious, if a little large, and everyone that I could see scarfed down as much as they could, while still saving room for the third course. We were quite ahead of schedule by this point so everyone had a chance to chat, relax and drink more wine. Now two hours from our starting time, Arbour ushered us out the door to dash to our third and final location: The Heirloom Café. This was our longest walk, about five minutes down the main street of Almonte, and the out-of-towners had a chance to see the historic shops. The Heirloom Café has been in town for quite a while, but as I said before, this was my first experience with it. It was by far my personal favourite. It is a gorgeous building with lots of seating and an art gallery along the walls on the upper half, accessible by a catwalk. Here I sat at the end of the table and let people sit around me. Two older gentlemen and their friends sat down next to me and we soon got to chatting about my work. We had a great time
talking photography and writing while I laughed at their ridiculous humour and jokes. We were served a lovely plate of three bite-sized desserts. The first was a Baklava cheesecake with a phyllo pastry topping. The second was a chaispiced, dark chocolate truffle with a hard outside and smooth filling. The third was an Ontario plum crème brulee, with the signature crispy candy topping. Dessert was my favourite course of all three, but at 9:30 p.m., I decided it was getting late and said my goodbyes. I thanked Arbour for the chance to participate in such a wonderful event and bid farewell to my tablemates. As I walked home, clutching my thin sweater around my shoulders in the cold air, I thought about how I had experienced so much more than Almonte’s stellar cuisine that night: I had also experienced the friendly atmosphere that Almonte is famous for – and made a few new friends in the process. I can’t say enough about the success of Dine & Dash, which, for its second year, was outstandingly wellrun and went so smoothly. I hope there are more events in the future, and you can bet your bottom dollar that I’ll be there again next year.

Hub Hospice service ready to launch News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In February 2012, the Almonte Community Coordinators (the Hub) conceived of a palliative care volunteer visitor service that would help clients through the last stages of life. Fuelled with support from every side, the steering committee was convinced this would be an asset to the community. In late October 2012, a board was formed for the hospice, and before long, the Hub Hospice Palliative Care became a fullfledged corporation of its own, with charitable status. In March, the Hospice hired Wendy Powell as the coordinator of volunteer services. Powell, an Almonte native, is a registered nurse, who has worked in tertiary, primary and community health settings, where patient interaction is a key component. She will be responsible for interviewing clients, training volunteers, and matching volunteers to clients. In addition, as the need dictates, Powell will develop new programs for volunteers.

The Hub Hospice in Almonte is preparing to begin accepting clients Sept. 9. Above, Almonte native Wendy Powell was hired on in March as the Hospiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coordinator of volunteer services. Already she has been involved with the training of the initial group of volunteer visitors, and will be starting a second training course in September. Christine Bois, chair of the
board of Hub Hospice, has just announced that the hospice will be accepting clients as of Sept. 9. Referrals can be made personally or through a health care provider, physician, family member, caregiver, or other agency by calling the hospice at 613-406-7020 or by visiting the website: www. hubhospice.com. Powell will respond as soon as possible to arrange a home visit, and to provide clients with the appropriate level of care. Trained volunteer visitors will be matched to clients for added support for family as well. The Hub is particularly proud to have been a part of this endeavour, and is pleased that the board of Hub Hospice has been proactive in partnering with the health provider community on several levels to form a coordinated service for palliative care. The hospice is at the forefront of this movement recognizing that home support at the end of life is the choice of most people. Submitted by Hub Hospice Palliative Care.

People First of Ontario responds to letter sent to grandmother of boy with autism Millson immediately contacted the police about the letter, which is being treated as a criminal investigation. “First and foremost, Maxwell, you belong here and don’t let something so hateful get you or your family down,” said Kory Earle, PFO president. Earle spoke from the headquarters of People First of Lanark County
By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – Unity is strength! During a press conference in Carleton Place last Wednesday, Aug. 21, People First of Ontario (PFO) offered its full support to the family of an autistic boy who received a heartless and disturbing letter recently. PFO is an organization that promotes equality for all persons. The one-page, typed letter was delivered to Brenda Millson of Newcastle, grandmother to 13-year-old Max Begley. He was diagnosed with autism as a toddler. Even though Max resides with his parents and older brother in nearby Oshawa, he frequently visits his grandmother’s home.
People First of Ontario president Kory Earle speaks at a press conference in Carleton Place on Aug. 21. Topics discussed included the letter sent to the family of Max Begley. Photo by TARA GESNER
(PFoLC). “We are so disgusted by this offensive letter and call on the writer to come forward,” he continued. “Do the right thing.” The letter stated that Max “is a hindrance to everyone and will always be that way.” It went on to say that “they should take whatever nonretarded body parts he possesses and donate it to science.” “Max is not a retard, despite what the person who wrote this letter indicated,” said Earle. “In fact, Max is a person who wants, deserves the same hopes, dreams and desires in life like anyone else.” “You label jars not humans!” he continued. According to PFO, Max could teach the letter’s author so much
about life. “People First of Ontario is so sad to see this type of hatred,” said Earle. “It’s not acceptable! We strongly feel people should be able to live in their community with dignity and respect.” The letter concluded with the author stated that Max’s family should “do the right thing and move or euthanize him.” “Prejudice still exists,” said Earle, “and as a country, if we want to change this, we must stand united.” Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning there is a wide degree of variation in the way it affects people. “Our hearts go out to Max and his family,” said Earle. “You have our support!”

TIPS AND ADVICE FROM OUR LOCAL EXPERTS!
R0012280236_0829
BACK PACK SHOULD NOT = BACK PAIN! It’s back to school time again! Time to get a new back pack and load it up with lots of cool stuff . . . but WAIT . . . STOP. . . Before going out to buy that back pack and all that ‘stuff’, let’s think this through. Did you know that 80% of children over the age of 10 complain of back pain. And another 40% of children get headaches. Knowing that most low back pain and headaches are caused by pinching of nerves and tissues around the spinal joints, how can you best protect your children from postural strain? The actual storage size of the bag should be the length of the child’s back. A well designed back pack has a chest strap and a waist strap to off load the weight. It should have padding to cushion and protect the spine. To wear a back pack properly, it is important to wear the waist strap to support the load and keep the pack tight to the back. Wear both shoulder straps and tighten them, keeping the pack snug to the back and not allowing the weight to sag to the bum. The weight of a child’s back pack should not exceed 10% of their body weight. In teen agers, it is allowed to be 15% of their body weight. So, weigh your child without their back pack on and then weigh them with their filled pack on. Subtract their body weight from the combined weight to get the weight of their pack. Know what it should be and take stuff out or separate their lunch out into a lunch box they carry separately. What we normally see in children wearing their back packs it the pack sags low to their bum and their head is jutted forward as they need to lean to off set the weight of the pack. This puts tremendous pressure on the joints of the lower back and neck and leads to strain and pain. Keeping the weight of the contents down and wearing the pack correctly can save a little body from repetitive stress and strain, and ultimately pain. If you have any questions about fitting your child’s back pack correctly, contact us.

Lanark County Minor Hockey League embarks on two-year no contact pilot project By AMY HOGUE
Sports – The hockey world may be gearing up for another exciting season of minor hockey, but returning players and parents will find this year a little different. Following a May 2013 decision of Hockey Canada to remove body contact from Peewee level and below, the Lanark County Minor Hockey League (LCMHL) has followed suit with its own changes to contact rules, effectively removing body contact from all levels of house league minor hockey. One of the issues centered around the checking debate is at what age is it appropriate to introduce checking into recreational minor hockey. For Hockey Canada, that age is now at Bantam level, bringing them closer to the standards ap-
plied in other parts of the world. Canada joins the United States, Australia, Korea, Great Britain, and Russia in removing contact from players 12-years-old and younger. The change in the LCMHL contact regulations comes in the form of a two year pilot project, and affects all associations within its district, namely the Carleton Place, Perth, Lanark, Almonte, Pakenham, Stittsville, Richmond Munster, West Carleton and Osgoode minor hockey associations. Contact hockey will still be played at the competitive level of hockey. According to the Perth Lanark Minor Hockey Association’s (PLMHA) website, the discussion of checking versus non checking has been taking place for some time and that “recently there has been a focus on concussion awareness
and its long lasting effects and lengthy discussions on what levels of hockey should be checking and non checking.” Difficulties in locating checking tournaments for house league players was also cited as a contributing factor in the decision to remove checking from house league play. Stories of hockey related head injuries have made headlines in recent years, particularly following Canadian hockey player, Sidney Crosbie’s, head injury in 2011. PLMHA past president Anne Arnoldi, explained that the risk of injuries was part of the checking discussion. “There are injuries in many sports, not just hockey. In the past few years there has been a lot of focus on head injuries, concussions and the lasting effects. It has led to many discussions on what levels of hockey should have checking
and non checking,” she said. Safety issues aside, there are both pros and cons to removing contact from recreational hockey. For players who are looking to enter into the competitive world of hockey where contact is still the norm, a lack of experience with checkingcould potentially put them at a disadvantage. Conversely, no contact hockey can contribute to stronger player development in the form of skating and puck handling skills. Glenn Austin, LCMHL president, explained those players who are interested in playing competitively will still be given the opportunity to develop checking skills and will be prepared to enter competitive hockey safely. “LCMHL has adopted non-checking at all levels from Peewee and up, unless the player is moving up towards a com-
petitive level whereby it is mandatory that the player takes or has taken a body contact course before stepping on the ice in checking capacity,” Austin wrote in an email statement to the Canadian Gazette. Austin stressed that the removal of body contact in all levels of house league hockey is part of a two-year pilot project only, and that the League Executive will continue to monitor its progress for the 2013-2014 hockey season. PLMHA President, Bryan Greer, said that so far public response to the change in regulation in PLMHA has been positive but predicts the hockey world “will see more conversation come from when body checking should be introduced.” According to the PLMHA website, Lanark Carleton is one of the last leagues to provide checking at house levels.
