Community – The first Tuesday in September can only mean one thing: it’s back to school for thousands of area students. On Sept. 2, Naismith Memorial Public School was a busy place and it was Sebastian Von Rosen’s first day of school. He was ready to start junior kindergarten with his new backpack.

Municipal nomination deadline is Sept. 12 Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@perfprint.ca

News – Time is running out for those interested in running for municipal office. Nomination day, the last day for filing nomination papers, is Sept. 12 and forms may only be filed from 9 a.m. to 2

p.m. on that day. The municipal election is set for Monday, Oct. 27 and voting will take place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. In Mississippi Mills, so far there is a lack of councillors running for council. In the Almonte ward there are four councillor positions up for grabs and as of Sept. 2 four people have filed their

papers: Jane Torrance, Bernard Cameron, Jill McCubbin and Alex Gillis. In the Ramsay ward, there are four positions available, only Paul Watters has filed his papers. In Pakenham, Denzil Ferguson and Duncan Abbott have filed for the two seats in that ward. See RUN page A/CP2

Sports – The Carleton Place Junior A Canadians host the Pembroke Lumber Kings on Saturday, Sept. 6, during the team’s 2014-2015 season home opener. The Canadians are coming off an outstanding year, winning the Central Canada Hockey League and Eastern Canadian championships, as well as finishing second at the RBC Cup (nationals) in Vernon, British Columbia. Prior to Saturday’s game Carleton Place’s sister city committee is sponsoring a good-old fashioned tailgate party outside the Neelin Street Community Centre (arena). Admission is free, and everyone is welcome. Festivities run from 2 to 5 p.m. According to committee chair Jeff Maguire, the event is fit for the entire family, and there are lots of activities for kids. “This is our fourth straight year,” he said, “and it is a way for our group to get involved in the community.” Beginning at 2 p.m. local musical favourites the Bowes Brothers take to the Cavanagh Construction stage to entertain fans, and at 3 p.m. this season’s Canadians will be officially introduced and the team’s new uniform unveiled. To thrill fans there will be a booth with both the Bogart Cup and Fred Page Cup trophies this year, Maguire

said, and people can have their picture taken with the hardware. Moreover, Canadians players will take part in a shootout with children, and they will sign autographs and pose for photographs. Maguire noted the Carleton Place Giant Tiger, which sells team merchandise, would be on site with souvenirs (for purchase), and kids can have their faces painted. Tailgaters won’t go hungry with the Carleton Place Minor Hockey Association running a barbecue and offering other tasty treats. “The first 100 children age 12 and under receive a free hot dog,” Maguire said. Preceding the puck drop at 5:15 p.m., the Bogart Cup and Fred Page Cup championship banners will be unveiled and raised. The tailgate party also gives the 15-member sister city committee an opportunity to highlight to the community what they are all about, including its annual Sister City Youth Exchange. Maguire said an exchange takes place yearly to Franklin, Tennessee, and every second year to Comrie, Scotland. Carleton Place twinned with Franklin in January 2005 and Comrie in August 1992. The tailgate party takes place rain or shine. The community centre is located at 75 Neelin St.

News – The Ministry of Environment has approved the locally developed Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Plan. The source protection plan, required under Ontario’s Clean Water Act, sets out policies to keep contaminants out of rivers and underground aquifers that supply municipal drinking water systems in the region. The Clean Water Act is one of the province’s responses to the Walkerton tainted water tragedy and is part of Ontario’s strategy to safeguard drinking water from source to tap. “The Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Plan is the culmination of many years of work by the source protection committee and municipalities and a great deal of valuable input from provincial ministries, interest groups, local residents and the broader public.

Community – Local residents are invited to come out and support an area woman fighting a battle with cancer Saturday, Sept. 20 at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion. Sherrie Brown, who lives in the Gatineau area but her parents reside in Smiths Falls, was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, which recently spread to her brain. Good friend and local resident, Flora Riley, is spearheading the event to help support the Brown family. All funds raised will go directly to them. “I’ve known them for over 20 years and I see how they’re struggling and how devastating it (illness) is,” she noted. “I’ve gone through this myself with three members of my family, so I know what it feels like. You feel like there’s no hope.” Five months ago, 52-year-old Brown had brain surgery and is currently undergoing treatments. Riley has gathered a full slate of talented local musicians who are all donating their time to perform. They include: Harry

Upcoming dog seminars aim to open communication Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Community – Dogs have been man’s best friend for thousands of years though they have never spoken our language. This month the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) in conjunction with André Hurtubise (Perth’s Pooch Pal) will be offering free dog education seminars at the Perth public library. The purpose of these sessions is to further LAWS’ mission to provide educational opportunities to the communities they serve. “Maybe we can help one dog from not going into LAWS,” Hurtubise said. “We should be able to help some people in the community,” added Beth Searle, humane education co-ordinator. “It’s all free.” There is no registration required and all sessions are free though a donation to LAWS would be welcome. For a complete wish list of needed items go to www.lanarkanimals.ca. The information sessions were developed by Hurtubise based on the feedback

he was hearing from pet owners he worked with. “Dogs know us and understand us better than we understand them,” explained Hurtubise. The first session on Sept. 18 (6 to 8 p.m.) is Dog 101. This is includes discussion on where dogs come from, their history, intelligence and communication style are explored. Hurtubise is very excited about the scientific research that has been done on this topic in the last two to three years and will share this data with those in attendance. Then on Dec. 4 (6 to 8 p.m.) the series will continue with dog communication. Questions like ‘what is my dog trying to tell me’ will begin to be answered in this session by understanding the way in which dogs speak. “Dogs are talking to us and talking to other dogs all the time,” Hurtubise said. “They live in a world of body language.” This session will attempt to explain to attendees how we can see how a dog feels through their method of communication. This brings us to dog aggression,

which is the focus of Feb. 26 session. From 6 to 8 p.m., Hurtubise will be explaining some misunderstandings on this topic by shedding some light on where aggression comes from. Hurtubise doesn’t like the term aggressive dogs, preferring to say “we have dogs that exhibit aggressive behaviours.” He will look at how to calm your pet down and ultimately how to prevent an aggressive incident from happening. On May 7 (6 to 7:30 p.m.) the subject of a dog’s interaction with kids will be on the table. This session will focus on safety and how to build the relationship between your dogs and your children so that mistakes aren’t made and everyone is safe. Wrapping up the series on June 4 (6 to 7:30 p.m.) will be a session on dog myths. This session will run the spectrum from health, training, behaviour and some common misconceptions. Hurtubise tells dog owners that when it comes to your pet eating grass it isn’t so much about an upset stomach as it is an appetizer. “As far as we can tell it tastes good,” he said.

The 2014-2015 school year represents year ďŹ ve in a ďŹ ve-year implementation plan, which will see all schools in the CDSBEO providing a full-day kindergarten program.

In the ďŹ rst year of implementation (2010), 15 per cent of provincial schools participated, which included four schools from the CDSBEO. In year two, two schools were added, and in year three an additional six schools offered FDK. In year four, with the provincial total at 75 per cent, the CDSBEO added an additional ďŹ ve schools. The largest program expansion occurred for the 2014-2015 school year, with implementation of FDK at the board’s 12 remaining elementary schools.

CDSBEO schools receive gold EcoSchools certiďŹ cation Ontario EcoSchools is an environmental education and certiďŹ cation program for grades K-12 that helps school communities develop both ecological literacy and environmental practices to become environmentally responsible citizens and reduce the ecological footprint of schools. Schools may apply to be certiďŹ ed as an EcoSchool through an annual certiďŹ cation process which assesses and recognizes accomplishments awarding points in six key areas of achievement including: teamwork and leadership, energy conservation, waste minimization, school ground greening, curriculum and environmental stewardship. Curriculum consultant, Tanya Sesbreno, summarized the Ontario EcoSchools CertiďŹ cation Program for the board of trustees, and highlighted some of the successes of CDSBEO schools.

In order to become certiďŹ ed, schools must consider the certiďŹ cation guide, which provides a quick reference tool for the steps to certiďŹ cation. The guide also provides tips for successful completion of the certiďŹ cation process. Schools receive points for the six areas of achievement which must be completed to obtain an EcoSchools certiďŹ cation. Participating in the EcoSchools program gives students the opportunity not only to contribute to bettering the environment, but also to learn about the environment through integrated curriculum. “There are a variety of projects which are happening to connect environmental issues to the curriculum,â€? explained Sesbreno. “One school wrote a play about environmental issues and recorded it with iMovie, while another school produced a video which highlighted how each class was working on separate environmental initiatives.â€? Some examples of activities which contribute to EcoSchools certiďŹ cation include: planting trees, growing plants, creating school gardens, garbage clean-up, composting, and recycling projects. All schools from the CDSBEO were challenged to

News – The following are highlights from the Aug. 26 Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting at the board ofďŹ ce in Kemptville. Over the course of the last 12 months, the CDSBEO plant and maintenance department has worked diligently toward the completion of an extensive number of upgrades within schools and board facilities. Manager of plant and maintenance, Bernie Kehoe, presented to the board an overview of the considerable number of projects which have been completed in 44 facilities including more than 4,800 work orders and 123 projects under School Renewal, School Condition Improvement, Capital, Ontarians with Disabilities Act (ODA) and Energy EfďŹ ciency. “This has been our busiest year yet,â€? noted Kehoe. “The schools look great, and we’ve worked to develop the designs and concepts with the supervisory ofďŹ cers, with the students’ priorities in mind.â€? The largest project, a 12-classroom addition at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, includes renovation to the construction shop, an atrium with staff room, washrooms and service space. Site preparation is now complete, and footings and foundation have been installed. The project is expected to be completed for September 2015. A large classroom addition is also nearly complete at St. Mary-St. Cecilia Catholic School in Morrisburg. The four-classroom addition of three regular and one Kindergarten classroom, which began construction on March 10, will be open for students for the start of the 2014 school year. St. Edward Catholic School (Westport), St. John Bosco Catholic School (Brockville), and Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic School (Ingleside) will all receive a new one classroom addition to accommodate full-day kindergarten. All new kindergarten rooms are larger than standard classrooms, and feature whiteboards, cubbies, counters and shelving. In addition to the ďŹ ve major construction projects, an additional ďŹ ve schools have received renovations to create one large kindergarten classroom by connecting two standard classrooms. These renovations include upgraded oors, ceilings, whiteboards, millwork and painting. Schools to receive the refurbished rooms include: Bishop Macdonell (Cornwall), Iona Academy (Williamstown), Sacred Heart (Cornwall), St. Andrew’s (St. Andrews West), and St. Mary (Chesterville). Additional projects were carried out in 42 schools under various government grant initiatives. These 123 upgrades include: painting, replacement of ooring and window coverings, asphalt and improved drainage upgrades, ODA (Ontarians With Disabilities Act) compliant washroom projects and elevator installation, installation of new lockers, installation of portable classrooms, electrical upgrades, rooďŹ ng and shingle replacement, renovations to secondary school hospitality suites (2 schools),

Help ‘Light up the Labyrinth’ Sept. 12 in Carleton Place

The Labyrinth Committee of Carleton Place are putting the finishing touches on this year’s annual Light up the Labyrinth event set for Friday, Sept. 12. The labyrinth is located beside the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum at 267 Edmund Street. Guests

are invited to come early and help prepare luminaries, such as the ones shown above, which will dot the labyrinth and be lit in the evening for a candlelight walk. Live music will be provided by local musician Kerron Lamb.

fortunate to have live music with local musician Kerron Lamb. Our candlelit labyrinth walks have become a popular fall event, as individuals and families from across the region bring along their festive lanterns, and enjoy a walk in the crisp autumn air. “Children love this particular nighttime event. It’s a chance to bring along one of their own lantern creations,” says Julia Heathcote, a volunteer labyrinth keeper. To add to the after-dark fun for children, glow in the dark face painting will also be available. For those who wish to relax and watch the candlelight, garden benches and a wheelchair-accessible contemplation ring encircle the labyrinth. If you would like to sit for a while and take in the candlelight glow, bring along a lawn chair, too. Thanks to support from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Town of Carleton Place and individuals and businesses within our community, this permanent labyrinth exists for people to use at any time. Labyrinth Park is always accessible, and on Tuesday of every week until the end of September, there is a volunteer labyrinth-keeper on site. For more information or if you would like to help prepare luminaries, contact Debby at 613-257-1014. For more, visit the labyrinth blog: http://carletonplacecommunitylabyrinth.blogspot.com or look for them on Facebook.

Community – On Friday, September 12, the warm glow of more than 600 candlelit luminaries will flicker along the path of Carleton Place’s Community Labyrinth for this year’s ‘Light up the Labyrinth’. The labyrinth is located at the corner of George and Baines Streets beside the Carleton Place & Beckwith Heritage Museum, 267 Edmund Street in Carleton Place. In a departure from other evening labyrinth walks, organizers are asking participants to gather at 6 p.m. at the labyrinth to prepare and place luminaries for a 7 p.m. candlelit walk. Debby Lytle, chairperson for the Labyrinth Committee, explains: “This year, we thought we’d change it up a bit. We are a very small committee and really need some extra hands to make this event happen. Join us at the labyrinth at 6 p.m. to help assemble and place the luminaries then everyone will have a chance to be part of lighting up the labyrinth at 7 p.m. before the walk begins. If you have a barbecue lighter bring it along and if people are able to assist with the dismantling of the luminaries at the end of the night, that would be a great help as well!” The Labyrinth Committee of Carleton Place invites you to bring out your lanterns and join our evening walk. As in other years, participants are encouraged to bring along their glow-sticks, lanterns or flashlights. This year, we are

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

You could be the next target of Harper, Canada Revenue Agency: Reader DEAR EDITOR: One of the main pillars of democracy is a non-politicized civil service. The Harper government has changed all that and a good example is the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The CRA has been going after environmental charities and leftleaning think tanks as part of the Harper government’s partisan attack on perceived enemies, in my opinion. This politicization of the civil service and agencies such as the Canada Revenue Agency should concern all of us, even supporters of the Conservatives, because it means that a new federal govern-

ment will be able to follow in Harper’s footsteps and, using his example, persecute organizations and even individuals who disagree with it through the use of government departments or agencies such as the CRA, in my opinion. The CRA maintains that it is not taking orders from the Tories but it does not help the optics to have a partisan Canada Action Plan advertisement on the “non-partisan” CRA website.

COMMENTARY

Punching out poverty Editorial – We often hear of people around the world living in impoverished countries and have seen the heartwrenching images of young children without enough food to eat. However, many forget that poverty doesn’t discriminate and happens here at home. Canada is considered an affluent country and the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark area doesn’t look to be suffering on the surface, but dig deeper and it’s a real issue. So much so that the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit is organizing a Bridges Out of Poverty workshop Oct. 2 at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club. The workshop aims to help people better understand poverty and open their minds in order to create a framework to help deal with it. Many often take for granted the fact that the dinner table is heaped full each night, but according to a Canadian Community Health Survey from 2011, close to 11,000 families in the tri-county area are living on $19,000 or less per year. This is unacceptable and it’s unrealistic to believe that a family would be able to pay for a roof over their head, food, health expenses, child care or transportation on that sum. Real-life stories of those dealing with poverty will be shared and can shed light on the issue. It’s time to start a dialogue about poverty and address it. There’s no reason why any child or family should go to bed hungry or not have access to the basic necessities.

You asked permission for anything you needed or wanted to know by raising your right hand. Never your left, which apparently meant an entirely different thing. That was a challenge for Cora who was naturally left handed, but she soon got onto raising her right hand when Miss Crosby ignored her otherwise. And the second Miss Crosby appeared on the stoop outside the school, and rang the big brass hand-bell, you lined up like soldiers. The smallest at the front of the line and the biggest at the back.

And of course you never went into the school after being ‘rung in’ and immediately sat down...you stood perfectly still until Miss Crosby came back in, went up to her desk, and nodded permission! There seemed to be no embarrassment in asking to go out to the privy. But there were even rules for asking permission back then for something as basic as having to use the outhouse. If it was to be a fast trip, you raised one finger on your left hand...this was when the left hand was put to use... and two fingers on the left hand meant you expected to out there for a bit longer.

Elton & Billy bring non-stop hits to Studio Theatre Sept. 13 Arts – For years, in concert halls, nightclubs, casinos and theatres across North America, Canadian keyboard wizards Jeff Scott and Jeff Brewer have been keeping the legendary music of Elton John and Billy Joel alive for wildly appreciative fans. Just not on the same stage, at the same time. Then, after getting to know each other on the US casino circuit, they began toying with the idea of putting together a “duelling pianos” show. The incredible response to Elton John and Billy Joel’s “Face to Face” tour sealed the deal, and the two Jeffs realized that re-creating this exciting new style of show was what they were born to do. Flashy costumes, inspired piano playing and instantly recognizable Submitted photo songs are the essence of the show. From Your Song to Crocodile Rock, Canadian keyboard wizards Jeff Scott and Jeff Brewer, above, will bring their Elton John and Billy Joel triband from Only the Good Die Young ute show to the Studio Theatre in Perth Sept. 16.

And once the deed was done, you quickly washed your hands in the basin at the back door, dried them on the huck towel on the roller, and took your seat, and got right down to work. Miss Crosby was high on ritual and so every morning we stood solemnly at our desks, with our right hand, palm opened over our heart and paid homage to the King, repeated the Lord’s Prayer and then sat, ramrod straight with our eyes glued to the teacher, as she read a verse from the bible. And it was on that first day of school that each of us was assigned chores. These could include sweeping the floor, emptying the waste

paper basket at the end of the day, wiping off the blackboards, changing the drinking and washing-up water, and making sure the pencil sharpener had been emptied every night. This schedule was tacked to the wall at the back of the schoolroom, and it was considered a great privilege to be asked to do chores for the teacher. My head would be spinning by the time I tried to remember all what I could and could not do at the Northcote School. To forget meant a sour look from Miss Crosby, a finger wagging from my sister Audrey and of course, a reprimand from Mother when I got home from school. That seemed to be the order of command back then.

By the time the first week of school had passed, all the rules would have been established, and the school would be running like a well-oiled wheel. It would be many years later that I would finally realize what Miss Crosby meant when she said in her opening remarks, as she stood at the big oak desk at the front of the room at the start of every school year. “Remember going to school is not a right, it is a privilege.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Fire and time ravage Great Britain’s seaside piers for the undamaged pavilion, at the seaward end of the structure, will have to be moved or postponed. There is currently no access from the landward end where the gutted games dome was located. By way of explanation games rooms (arcades) are a ďŹ xture on Britain’s seaside piers. Repairs begin Fortunately a fund has already been established to raise money to rebuild the damaged section. Recognizing its importance, the British government has kicked in ÂŁ2 million ($3.8 million CDN) which will allow the work to begin immediately. Sadly many of Britain’s popular piers weren’t as fortunate. Fires and the ravages of time, in particular storm damage, long ago claimed more than three dozen of these seaside attractions. When those piers were damaged there were no funds available to rebuild or repair them. There were once three piers in Brighton. The Chain Pier, opened in 1823, was destroyed by a storm in 1896. The West Pier, which dates from 1866, was a popular destination for more than 100 years. It operated until 1975 when high maintenance costs forced the owners to cease operations. Plans for redevelopment stalled and in 2003 three suspicious ďŹ res in two months destroyed much of what remained of the pier including its once grand pavilion. Since then storms have caused further collapses. When we last visited Brighton, two summers ago, only parts of the metal skeleton were still standing. Earlier this year a severe storm washed away more of the superstructure. There is a long standing plan to build an observation tower and restaurant on the site and that project is still on according to recent reports. So, why is it so important to save Britain’s iconic piers? My feeling is that saving history is usually worth the expenditure. And England’s piers, although hardly unique in the world (there are lots of them in the United States for example), are a national treasure. The history of the seaside pier can be traced to the growth of coastal communities such as Brighton and Blackpool which remain the most popular holiday destinations in Britain. In the late 1700s it became fashionable for the rich to take the “natural watersâ€? of the sea which were separate and distinct from the mineral springs or inland spas in places such as Bath and Harrogate for example. Even Queen Victoria was caught up in the trend. She regularly holidayed at Brighton, staying in the Royal Pavilion which, next to the Brighton Pier, remains the second biggest attraction in the city.

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

Eventually she opted to leave growing and bustling Brighton for the nearby Isle of Wight and Osborne House (don’t miss visiting Osborne if you have a chance, its wonderful) where she could “take the watersâ€? in privacy. Over the years seaside vacations became a much anticipated getaway for virtually everyone in the UK. In fact you would be hard pressed to ďŹ nd anyone who lives there, or who was raised in Britain, who doesn’t have fond memories of seaside vacations. Those who couldn’t afford such “extravaganceâ€? certainly aspired to it. Piers were originally jetties which allowed wealthy Britons to sail to the various seaside communities and gain easy access to shore without getting their feet wet. Over the course of time the jetties in many communities grew into longer promenades and various attractions – pavilions, restaurants, bars and arcades – were added. Fish and chips, rock candy, pinball machines, garish lighting and carnival rides (the 524 metre long Brighton Pier has a full amusement park at the seaward end) are staples on Britain’s piers.

Important venues Originally the success of these attractions in some centres led other coastal towns to follow suit. That led to a 19th Century boom of purposebuilt piers along the coasts of England, Wales and Scotland. In communities such as Brighton, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Eastbourne, Great Yarmouth, Llandudno (Wales) and Weston-Super-Mare piers became such an important part of the local tourism industries that they have continued to thrive, despite setbacks, to this day. Blackpool leads the way with three thriving piers, all of which we have been fortunate enough to visit. The pier at Ryde on the Isle of Wight is the country’s oldest. Its 200th anniversary was marked in July. Fire has proven to be a major enemy of seaside piers. Some were destroyed by ames and never rebuilt. And despite advances in ďŹ reďŹ ghting techniques the spectre of ďŹ re continues to haunt pier owners and the communities which depend on them. Besides Brighton’s West Pier others which have been hit hard by ďŹ re in recent years include the pier in nearby Hastings (East Sussex) which in 1872 became the ďŹ rst purpose-built “plea-

sure pierâ€? ever erected, with a built-in entertainment complex. Hastings Pier was closed when we visited the town and viewed it in 2008. In 2010 a suspicious blaze almost totally destroyed it. Fortunately investors have been found to repair the structure and the owners expect to re-open next spring. In July 2008 the pavilion at the Grand Pier in Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset was destroyed by a huge inferno. It was so important to Weston that by October 2010 a new, modern pavilion opened. The Grand Pier has resumed its place among Britain’s most visited attractions. The pier at Southend-on-Sea, on the Thames estuary in Essex, is an astounding 1.34 miles in length. That makes it the longest such ediďŹ ce in the world. You can take a train to the pierhead, which we have been fortunate enough to do. Southend pier survived four ďŹ res in 50 years (the most recent in 2005) as well as damage caused when a barge crashed into it in 2011. Still, it is piers such as the once beautiful West Pier in Brighton which are missed by the communities which have lost them and by the untold millions who visited them over the years. Also among the nearly 40 lost piers are two at Cowes on the Isle of Wight, two at Morecambe on England’s west coast and one in the resort town of Scarborough in North Yorkshire. As for Kathleen and I, we will continue our quest to visit all of the remaining seaside piers in the UK. Each visit leaves us wanting more!

Lifestyle – I travelled to Regina at the end of July where I spent a couple of days before accompanying our daughter Heather and little granddaughter Lily on a ight back to Ottawa. You may have read about our rather harrowing ight in a column I wrote last month. One morning during my stay in the Saskatchewan capital I quietly chatted with Heather’s partner Indy before he left for work. Then I read the Regina Leader-Post and glanced at the news on television while ďŹ ve-month-old Lily and her Mom slept. Accordingly the volume on the TV was down when I saw images of a large ďŹ re ash across the screen. The aerial footage revealed a seaside pier in ames. I quickly realized I was looking at the pier in Eastbourne, England which we have visited twice during our travels in Great Britain. It’s a beautiful old structure and one of the ďŹ nest such seaside attractions still remaining. I had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I realized it had been heavily damaged. On our very ďŹ rst visit to the United Kingdom my wife and I spent nearly a week in the seaside resort of Brighton. The city, on England’s south coast (an hour from London by train and close to Eastbourne), has arguably the ďŹ nest remaining Victorian pier in Britain. At that time it was still called ‘Palace Pier’ although the owners have since changed the name to Brighton Pier. We immediately fell in love with the famous, old pier and have visited it time and again over the years. Just as we are on a quest to visit every covered bridge in the State of Vermont, Kathleen and I also have a goal of visiting all the remaining seaside piers in the United Kingdom. So far we’re more than halfway toward that objective! I use the word “survivingâ€? because so many of seaside promenades no longer exist. Between 1814 and 1905 there were 100 piers built in Britain. Today the National Piers Society website lists 58 which are surviving, although not all are currently open. When ďŹ re raced through the twostorey, domed games room of the Eastbourne Pier in East Sussex on July 30 that number was temporarily reduced to 57. The blaze, which is believed to be electrical in nature, has put the popular pier out of action for some time. But due to the excellent work of 80 ďŹ reďŹ ghters from several south coast communities two-thirds of the ediďŹ ce was saved. Even a temporary closure of the pier is a huge blow to Eastbourne’s main industry, tourism. The pier is the town’s biggest attraction. Several weddings and other events planned

News – The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit recently alerted residents of McNally’s Bay on Upper Rideau Lake of a potential blue-green algae bloom following calls from concerned residents. As blue-green algae blooms may be hazardous to health and can only be confirmed

through testing, the health unit issued notices with precautions residents could take while waiting for results from the Ministry of Environment. Results have now come in and confirm that the specimens collected are blue-green algae and that toxins are present. Residents

of McNally’s Bay using water from the lake for drinking purposes should use an alternate source as boiling does not remove the toxins. Pets and livestock should not be permitted to drink the water directly from the lake in this area. Should residents see any further algae blooms, they should

contact the Spills Action Center at 1-800-268-6060 to report these blooms. Further updates will be posted on the health unit website as results become available or by calling 1-800-660-5853. You can also like the health unit on Facebook for important public health updates.

THIS WEEK IN

Make a difference in 2014: Volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters Community – September is Big Brothers Big Sisters Month. One way they are celebrating is by sharing stories about the impact of volunteering on our community. Katie Ireton, a Big Sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBSLC) and a board member, shared her story with us. “I’d wanted to volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) for some time. In fact, the idea had been in my head off and on for roughly seven years. I’d done a lot of work with large groups of youth and thought I would enjoy mentoring a child one-on-one. I just never followed through because there was always something else going on: school, family, work, and the frequent possibility of a move limiting my ability to commit long-term. Finally my husband and I settled in Lanark County with the intention of staying put for some time. I contacted BBBSLC to apply as a mentor for the traditional Big Sister program. Little did I suspect where that application would lead. I applied over the summer and had a lengthy intake interview with a mentoring coordinator discussing my goals and interests, as well as my life experiences. It was clear from the outset that BBBSLC wanted to find not just a match, but the right one – one that would be organic and fulfilling for both of us. My mentoring coordinator shared the matching process and timeline with me, as well as a warning that I might not be matched right away, and then asked if I would be a mentor in the Go Girls program (A group mentoring program for girls ages 12 to 14 that focuses on physical activity, balanced eating and self-esteem). It seemed like a good way of getting to know the organization so I jumped in. Over the next school year I mentored two groups of grade 7 and 8 girls at two different schools. For two hours each week for ten weeks at a time, my co-mentors and I listened to our girls’ worries and shared some of our grade school fears and traumas.

EAT IT!

I’d forgotten how difficult it can be to be a 13 or 14-year-old girl: bullying, body image worries, food issues, boys, depression, pretty girls, mean girls, cool girls... it was a stark reminder of how important my own mentors had been for me during that time period. The following spring I was matched with my Little Sister, a delightful then six-year-old who lived with her mother and younger brother. She loved crafts, baking and generally doing anything that gave her an opportunity to “create”, especially making chocolate pudding from scratch (A word to the wise... go easy on the vanilla flavouring and skip the Nestle Quik chocolate syrup!). At first she was timid, but as we spent more time together, she started to take more

risks and was more willing to try new experiences. I remember how taken aback I was when she refused to step on to an escalator during a trip into Ottawa. My Little Sister didn’t want anything fancy or special – just an opportunity for an adult to spend some time focussed solely on her. While she rarely commented on her home or school life, it was clear she craved some special one-on-one time. Bonus points if she could get twoon-one, and my husband quickly learned that if he were home, she would rope him into a game or a craft, too. In a few short spring and summer months we perfected her bike riding skills and her swimming skills and I had the privilege of watching her confidence grow as she mastered what many consider

to be basic childhood rites of passage. After 16 months my Little Sister and her family moved to Orleans. We continued our match for another two months, to provide some stability for her as she transitioned to a new home, a blended family and a new school, but ultimately had to close the match for sheer logistical and transportation reasons. The clever staff at BBBSLC wasn’t prepared to let me go, though! When I had foolishly asked what committee assistance they were seeking earlier in the spring, they suggested I apply to join the board and thus began my current path with the agency. Although most people who ask me why I volunteer are looking for the reasons as to why I started out with the agency, I think the more powerful story is why I stay. I’ve now been involved with BBBSLC in some capacity since 2010 and am into my second term as a board member. I stay not just because I believe in children and the power of mentoring (or because I have some deep-seated love for meetings and policy) – I stay

because of the amazing leadership, staff team and other volunteers who continue to support BBBSLC. The research on the impact of mentoring is undeniable and there’s no doubt that even my short match with my Little Sister, or the 10 weeks Go Girls session made a difference for the girls I mentored. But it’s the leadership, both from the staff and other volunteers, who make BBBSLC such a strong agency and a pleasure to work with. Even as a volunteer, it was clear that our local agency not only cares about children and mentoring, but it also has a clearly articulated vision that allows it to effectively offer supports to their volunteers and the families it serves as needed, and continue to grow. When faced with new opportunities or difficult situations, the response from BBBSLC has always been “how can we help” or “how can we make this work” rather than a “no, not interested, that’s impossible you’re on your own”. And as a volunteer, or as a child being served, it is that attitude that makes the difference between an agency doing

good work, and an agency doing great work. Had I realized before calling BBBSLC that there were so many opportunities within BBBS to volunteer, either in one-on-one mentoring or group mentoring, in short-term programs or long-term traditional matches, working with children, or helping with committees or thrift stores, during daytime or evening and weekend hours, I might have gotten involved with the BBBS movement much sooner. However, having found BBBSLC to be so committed to supporting its children and volunteers, I’m glad to be a part of its family.

Lanark County Food Bank launches ‘Great Veggie Grow-Off’ Community – A little friendly gardening competition reaps big benefits for Lanark County Food Bank. It’s a conversation with two green thumbs. Issued on May 1, the Workers’ Day, the ‘Great Veggie Grow-Off’ has ‘pitted’ the towns of Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place and Beckwith against each other in a friendly competition to see which can grow the most local produce for the Lanark County Food Bank. The grow-off offers local gardeners a higher purpose to plant another row for others less fortunate. “Having the ‘Great Veggie Grow-Off’ has been a very positive thing for the St. Gregory’s Next Door Community Gardens,” said Carleton Place community garden co-ordinator and local market gardener, Ray Elgersma. “At the beginning of the season a number of beds were simply weeds because the beds had been neglected or were not used during the 2013 gardening season. Today all beds are used and our crops are flourishing. We have a number of new gardeners. But more importantly we have a greater connectedness to our community.” “There seems to be a new appetite for community gardens,” added Master Gardener, David Hinks. “This spring citizen gardeners came out in droves to help create new Neighbourhood Tomato Community Garden garden beds in Almonte’s Augusta Street Park. There is new interest in the beds behind the library as well. We have some individual plots, as well as some collaborative gardens, even some specifically earmarked with

It’s great to help the food bank with their mission to provide safe and nutritional food for persons in need.” To date the total amount of food donated from the three communities is more than 700 lbs. Citizens are urged to share their bounty from their personal gardens with the food bank. Make sure when you drop off your produce to mention the name of your town. You have until Oct. 11, at 10:30 am when the final weigh-in will occur at

the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market. It is the final day of the market and it corresponds with World Food Day. “The partnership established this year between the Mills, Lanark Food Bank and St. Gregory’s has meant new energy, greater purpose, and healthy outcomes for producers and the food bank, and an improved sense of community for those engaged with the gardens,” stated Elgersma. “Regardless of whether Beckwith, Mississippi Mills or Carleton Place community

The goal of hosting these clinics is to help provide rabies vaccinations to as many cats and dogs as possible.

Your dog or cat must be vaccinated against rabies. It’s the law. In addition, hunters preparing for the hunting season are reminded to get their dogs vaccinated against rabies. While running in the bush, hunting dogs have the potential of interacting with wild life that may have rabies. To help protect some wild animals against rabies, the Ministry of Natural Resources has released bait in certain areas in August. It is important that pet cats or dogs remain up-to-date with their rabies vaccination as they too could be at risk of getting rabies. By increasing

the vaccination coverage in pets we will help to minimize the potential transmission of rabies to humans. Rabies is a deadly disease that can be prevented. Help prevent the spread of rabies by vaccinating your pet dog or cat. For more information about preventing the spread of rabies, contact the Health ACTION Line at 1-800-6605853 or 613-345-5685 and ask for a public health inspector, visit www.healthunit.org/ rabies or like us on Facebook at LGLHealthUnit.

A post-secondary education is expensive – and very necessary these days. Most students must carefully manage limited financial resources to obtain that degree or diploma -- without accumulating a crushing burden of debt along the way. That’s why students need a financial plan. Here are some practical strategies to help students manage money more effectively: Live economically. Students may choose to live at home (and save money) or move out, perhaps to a different city or province. College and university costs can vary dramatically depending on the institution and province of study. Budget realistically. Allocate financial resources to pay for the many expenses a student will encounter through the school years – fixed costs such as tuition, books, accommodation, transportation, and food, as well as variable expenses like entertainment. Assess against known resources (such as income from investments within an RESP, family contributions and personal savings) and expected income (from parttime or summer employment). Tap into every income source. Before applying for a student loan, check for potential scholarships or bursaries from the school, foundations, religious groups, service clubs or civic groups. Use credit wisely. Used

Manage Your Money responsibly, credit cards can be helpful in an emergency and for establishing a credit history. Pay yourself first. By putting a little bit away each week, a student can begin to invest for the future, save for emergencies or for a major purchase. Take full advantage of government tax relief for students: • Scholarships and bursaries are not taxable when the student is eligible for the Education Tax Credit. • Interest paid on a student loan is eligible for a federal non-refundable tax credit when the loan is part of a federal or provincial student loan program. Unused amounts of the credit can be carried forward and applied in any of the next five years. • Moving expenses are deductible when a student moves more than 40 kilometres to be closer to school or to a job. These expenses can only be deducted from the taxable part of your scholarships, fellowships, bursaries, certain prizes, and research grants. • Child care expenses may be claimed by the higher earning spouse/common-law partner of a lower-income student spouse as long as the lower income spouse is attending school and was enrolled in part-time or full-time

educational program. • GST rebates must be applied for on the student’s tax return each year. • Other tax credits available to students: • Canada Employment Credit on the first $1,117 of employment income. • Tuition, Education and Textbook Credit. Unused portions can be transferred to a spouse, common-law partner, parent or grandparent, up to $5,000 minus the amount used by the student. Alternatively, unused amounts can be carried forward and must be claimed in the first year you have a tax payable. • Public Transit Pass Credit. Receipts and transit passes need to be kept in case the CRA asks you to verify your claim. Talk to your professional advisor about the right financial planning strategies for your student.

Before buying an air conditioning unit or system, find out its energy-efficiency ratio (EER). Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER ofa 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair. Remember to buy the smallest capacity unit or system that will meet your needs.

Lifestyle – Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is always accepting applications from individuals and families who would like to become foster homes. This little one wasn’t doing well, so staff brought him to the vet. He is now on antibiotics, required twice a day, and special care will be necessary to ensure this little one’s survival. A huge shout out to LAWS current group of foster homes! Now let’s start growing LAWS foster network. We are seeking foster homes for some of our newest arrivals – and there are more kittens on the way! We foster to indoor homes only, no exceptions. We therefore require you to have secure screens on your windows, and to ensure the cats cannot get out of your home at any time. We have a variety of fostering situations, as we take in orphaned kittens, feral kittens, pregnant mothers, mothers with kittens, and adult cats (female and male). Each year we need temporary homes and our busiest time of year is between April and October, but we need foster homes year-round. We require your own animals to be vaccinated, and in good health. Even so, it is not advisable for the fostered animals to mingle with your cats for a week to ten days to ensure no colds or other illnesses have been brought in. Friendly older cats can be a great comfort for the little orphaned kittens, and so can friendly dogs, once the isolation period has passed. The space required for fostering is a spare room or bathroom where the foster

Jasmine Bowen played the role of May Bell-Marks on the Perth through the Ages historic theatrical walking tour, a partnership of the Classic Theatre Festival, Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization, Perth & District Community Foundation, Matheson House Museum, and Perth Tourism that will return next summer with new stories and characters. more I learned about her, the more fascinated I became. May was quite the woman, having made a name for herself in New York before joining up with the already famed Marks Brothers troupe. She was a strong woman, surviving the stigma of divorce and being a theatre lady in the days when both things were nearly unacceptable. However, she never failed to act with dignity, and make her new hometown of Perth proud. I like to think that May’s spirit was happy to be reanimated daily at Matheson House, and through the streets that she once walked. I never received a ghostly push down the stairs, so I

took that as a good sign! From bringing her through confusion to excitement, reducing her through tears (crying five days a week at the Perth Curling Club was certainly an experience), and back to happiness, it was a roller coaster of emotions, an amazing challenge and opportunity that I was so grateful to have as an actor. Working with the rest of the cast was a breeze as well (although if there were more breezes in Perth, it’d be great! Those historic costumes get quite warm. I had nothing to complain about, however, as my jacket came off half way through the play, while my partner, Sean Jacklin, remained in his three-piece wool suit!). Madison Reid’s portrayal of Mrs. Morris, the strong, fiery wife of the Tay Canal builder, was one of my favourite scenes. Meaghan Brackenbury’s beautiful rendition of “Roses in Picardy” never failed to stir emotions in the audience, and it was a joy to listen to every day. And last but not least of the multi-characters, Bobbie Cordick’s Rosie the Riveter always made me smile, as a young woman coming into her own. And of course, with me from the start of the production to the very end, Sean Jacklin’s portrayal of Reverend Bell was a joy to play off of, whether in comedy or tragedy (and there was some of both in the production.) Every morning, when I came in to work, I was greeted by the smiling faces of the museum staff, who have been an integral part of this production. Without their assistance in many matters, big and small (everything from selling tickets to an emergency microphone fix), we couldn’t have put on such a successful production. All our partners, through Perth and across the province, helped us to create a show that I will never forget. All in all, working for the Classic Theatre Festival has been an experience I will never forget. Laurel Smith and Matthew Behrens have built an amazing foundation in a beautiful town, and I

was blessed to be a part of it this summer. As Ms Marks says in the show, “Since the moment I first saw it, Perth has felt like home.” Jasmine Bowen is an Ottawa performer who

played in the Perth through the Ages youth training project. A new tour with nerw characters and stories is scheduled for the summer of 2015. Stay turned at www. classictheatre.ca.

Arts – “This isn’t my home! Where in all the heavens is this place?” May Bell-Marks is quite stunned by Matheson House, in the first scene of The Preacher and the Leading Lady, this year’s Perth Through The Ages production and, to be quite honest, so was I. The museum is perfectly preserved and a great representation of the life of the Mathesons more than 100 years ago in Perth, Ontario. Sadly, this year’s tour is over, but I have many fond memories of participating. When I first saw the casting for this production, I nearly fell off my seat in excitement. After doing a BA in Theatre at the University of Toronto, and spending an additional four years working in Toronto as an actor, I had come to realize that site-specific historical theatre was exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I moved back to Ottawa, my hometown, in December of 2013 in order to be closer to my family, and this show seemed like a dream come true. The casting was for a historical animator, re-animating people who had once walked Perth’s beautiful streets, and often times, speaking the words they spoke, over a hundred years ago. Getting a part in this production was perfect for me. The rehearsal process for this show was one of the most intense, and yet most fascinating processes I have ever been through. For three weeks, often eight to 10 hours a day, the cast gathered under the direction of Laurel Smith, the artistic producer of the festival. We improvised the scenes first, finding the dialogue that came naturally as we began to discover our characters. My colleagues, Madison and Adam Reid, had spent a few weeks before the rest of the cast arrived researching the characters and finding the sites where they would come alive. They did a fantastic job at finding characters whose story needed to be told, and bringing it together with two main characters. I was honoured to be playing May Bell-Marks, the “leading lady of Canadian popular theatre”, and the

Carleton Place community leaders complete ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Tara Gesner

tgesner@perfprint.ca

Community – A handful of Carleton Place community leaders are a lot more cool-headed after taking the Ice Bucket Challenge last Wednesday, Aug. 27, as the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) awareness and fundraising campaign continues to sweep the world. Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and Coun. Jerry Flynn, local Member of Parliament Scott Reid and People First member Kory Earle took the Ice Bucket Challenge, which encompasses dumping ice-cold water over your head. In return, participants nominate three other people to do the

same. They also typically donate money to an ALS charity. Earle’s sister Jessica Munro and 10-year-old nephew Ethan Showers also took the challenge. ALS, also know as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a gradual neuromuscular disease that sees nerve cells die and voluntary muscles left paralyzed. According to the ALS Canada website, every day two or three Canadians die of the condition. Last week’s antics, held at People First of Lanark County’s office in Carleton Place, were videotaped and posted on social media. LeBlanc dedicated her challenge to a member of the public with ALS “who

wishes to remain anonymous.” “He told me the other day when I was speaking with him that he has less than nine months to live,” she said. The individual told the mayor that council must address accessibility issues on the town’s main street. LeBlanc nominated Carleton Place’s recreation and culture director Joanne Henderson and Ontario Provincial Police community sergeant Rob Croth, in addition to Carleton Place Canadians team owner and head coach Jason Clarke. Looking like a drowned rat, the mayor joked, “Is this how I should go to county council tonight?” Meanwhile Lanark-Frontenac-Len-

nox and Addington MP Scott Reid nominated his partner Robyn Mulcahy and her sons Ryan and Nathan Mulcahy. “I want them to come out and do this at the Smiths Falls Walk for ALS on Sept. 13,” he said. Before getting covered in icy water, Earle nominated People First Canada’s executive director Shelley Fletcher Rattai, Canadian Gazette reporter Tara Gesner and Community Living Association Lanark County and Community Support Services North Lanark staff “It’s a great cause,” Earle said, “and I hope people continue to donate after the challenge is over.” Coun. Jerry Flynn challenged his colleague Coun. Louis Antonakos,

grandson Reilly Devlin and resident Ron Goebel. Munro thanked her brother for nominating her to do the challenge. In return, she put forth the names of Carleton Place and District Youth Centre executive director Meghan LinkLepine, Jesse Showers and Sabrina Saumier. Showers nominated his brother Bryan Munro and People First member Courtney O’Halloran. In Canada alone, according to the ALS Canada website, the Ice Bucket Challenge has helped raise more than $10 million to fund ALS research and work to improve the quality of life for Canadians affected by ALS.

Terry Fox Run brings message of hope to Mississippi Mills Sept. 14 tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – One step at a time, Terry Fox’s legacy continues. It will carry on in Almonte on Sunday, Sept. 14 starting at Gemmill Park with a 5 and 10 km run. Registration is at 12:30 p.m. and the run goes at 1 p.m. Last year, millions of Ontarians participated in 220 community Terry Fox Runs (TFR) raising funds for cancer research. Brad Jones has been organizing the race in Almonte since 1998 after long-time volunteer organizer Norine Duhne passed away. “I think the Terry Fox Run is part of Terry Fox’s legacy. For many of us he is an important historic figure that demonstrated an intense will and drive to get something done,” he said. He encourages everyone to come

out to the run for two reasons. “It not only supports a good cause but it is an enjoyable community event,” said Jones. “I look forward to organizing it every year and seeing families who have multiply generations participate in it.” Jones thinks it is a communityoriented event and a good opportunity to raise money for a good cause. “It’s really fun,” he said. “We draw about 100 people every year and it is a good opportunity to go for a scenic tour of town and the rural area and at the end of the day we usually raise a few thousand dollars for the Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research.” Since 1983, the Almonte TFR has raised more than $105,000 and to date, the foundation has raised more than $650 million for cancer research worldwide. In just 2013/2014, the foundation will

have invested an estimated $23.5 million in three key areas of cancer research: discovery research (fundamental science, cure oriented biomedical), translation research (moving discoveries from the laboratory in the clinic more quickly to impact patients) and training future leaders in cancer research. The foundation is one of the largest non-governmental funders of cancer research in the country and it funds many different types of cancer: ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic, oral, liver, and many more. “I support the TFR because it takes a broader view of cancer. It comes in different forms and it is not just about one type of cancer, it covers a bunch of different people,” said Jones. “From my own research I have come to appreciate the foundation does a pretty good job at managing the funds and getting them into the hands of researchers.”

In fact, 84 cents of every dollar raised goes to cancer research. The TFR in Almonte has no entry and there is no minimum donation, however those wishing to fundraise on their own are encouraged to pick up a pledge form in Almonte from Baker Bob’s, the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library or at the Town of Mississippi Mills recreation office at Almonte Old Town Hall. Jones remembers watching Fox in 1980 on his Marathon of Hope, in which he ran a marathon a day for 143 days with a prosthetic leg to raise funds for cancer research. “I had just graduated from university and I was a runner myself,” said Jones. “My memory of him is a little coloured from history but he came across in interviews as a very humble and determined person. He decided what he could do to draw attention to the disease and he was

just going to do what had to be done.” The registration for the race will take place at 12:30 p.m. with the 5 km and 10 km race taking off from Gemmill Park. The 10 km race follows Bridge Street to Country Road, thru the Gemmill Park subdivision, back on to Bridge Street, across County Road 29, to the 8th Concession, along Wolf Grove Road, to Gleeson Side Road, back on County Road 29 to Rosamond Street to Malcolm, to Ottawa Street past Mill Street, to Union Street to Almonte and District High School, to Martin Street and back to the arena. The 5 km route is completely wheelchair and rollerblade accessible, all on paved streets from Bridge Street to Perth Street to Church Street and back on to Elgin Street. For more information, to register or fundraise, visit www.terryfox. org.

First-ever Mississippi Mills River Run hits the street Sept. 6 Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – Walk or run, either way, the first ever Mississippi Mills River Run is an excellent way to support the Almonte General Hospital. The event is taking place at the Almonte Fairgrounds on Sept. 6 starting at 8:30 a.m. with the 5km, 9:40 a.m. for the 3km, and at 10:10 a.m. for the 10km walk/run and for the first time ever in Almonte all of the events will be timed. The Almonte General Hospital/ Fairview Manor Foundation is currently raising $300,000 for capital equipment, which includes $100,000 to purchase more medical equipment for the obstetrical unit to support the health and wellness of new mothers and babies and all funds raised will go to this initiative. “We want the latest and greatest equipment so moms can have their babies here,” said Gerry Huddleston, executive director of the foundation. In 2013, the Almonte Hospital welcomed 408 new babies to the world in the obstetrical unit. “It’s becoming a regional birthing centre and it will be excellent for the greater community,” said Huddleston. “It’s going to grow and expand and the demand will be here in the Ottawa Valley.” Huddleston said the hospital has a wonderful staff and he often hears the praise from new mothers. “I hear the greatest stories about the physicians and nurses in the obstetrical unit who administrate top quality care with a personal touch,” said Huddleston. It’s one such mom who came up with the idea for the run. Almonte resident and hospital foundation board member Karen Smith delivered her first child, Hunter, in November 2012, at the hospital and wanted to give back. “My experience here was awesome,” said Smith. “The nurses here were fantastic and we are so fortunate to have such a high quality hospital so close to home.” Smith, a runner herself, has teamed up with Dayna Chicoine and Shelley Crabtree from Aegle Events, an event management company that focuses on running events that contribute to the health and well-being of communities. They have also teamed up with Tommy Lam from Almonte Shoppers Drug Mart, who is the master event sponsor and has committed $10,000 for the event. So far almost 200 people have registered for the inaugural event. Organizers hope the run/walk will become an annual event and there is still time to register at: www.aegleevents.com or the day of the fundraiser. “It’s not too late to register, there’s still time,” said Smith. “It’s going to be a wonderful event and all of the proceeds will go to the Almonte obstetrical unit.” The event is not only for runners but everyone is encouraged to come out. “We want to encourage families to come out,” said Huddleston. “Moms and dads can bring out the strollers and walk, too,” add Smith.

There will be lots to do the day during the fundraiser, including live music by Irons In The Fire who will be playing guitar/fiddle music in true Ottawa Valley Style and country music station Y101 will also be on site. Vamos Outdoors from Almonte will have a booth set up selling outdoor clothing and both Patrice’s Independent Grocer and Mike Dean’s Super Food have donated pre/post race food for participants. Organizers sent out a letter to local residents about the run and which roads would be affected, they would like to remind residents that the following roads will have rolling lane closures during the race: Water, Mill, Main, Farm, Colborne, Country, Robert, Ann, Church and John. Residents will have access to all roads but should expect delays of five to 10 minutes between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., the OPP will be located on key intersections and volunteers will be on hand to direct residents. For more on the event, contact Huddleston by calling 613-256-2514.

Seniors’ Expo offers over 50 residents one-stop shop Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – Seniors looking to learn more about what Mississippi Mills has to offer them need to mark Sept. 11 on their calendars. The fourth annual ‘Mills Community Support presents Mississippi Mills Senior’s Expo’ will be at the Almonte and District Community Centre (182 Bridge St.) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is free, open to the public and will provide information about topics and services geared to those 50-years-old and older. Jeff Mills, coordinator community development and volunteers at the Mills Community Support calls the event a celebration of the community’s older adults. “What I love about it is there are more than just services for seniors,” said Mills. “It’s a great place to find out what activities are available for seniors and also a great place to find out about health

services or volunteer opportunities.” This year the tag line of the event is ‘healthy active seniors.’ “We are letting them know what’s available to them,” added Mills. So far, they have 68 exhibitors and the list is growing. Some of the groups that will be represented at the event are: Ottawa Valley Health Team, North Lanark Senior Games, The Hub and the Hub Hospice, Almonte General Hospital, Almonte Public Library and more. “The expo is of particular interest not only to seniors but to front line staff and caregivers for supports and services that are available for seniors in helping to keep them in their homes for as long as possible,” said Jan Watson, one of the key organizers of the event. Watson said the event wouldn’t run without dedicated volunteers and the event itself is very beneficial to the community.

“The event is important to Mississippi Mills as it brings people to the town who might otherwise not come here and the off shoot of this could be increased business for downtown businesses,” said Watson. “It lets people know that we are here to support our seniors and are a welcoming and age friendly community.” This year they will also have a booth for elected representatives and those who are running for municipal office. “It’s so seniors can drop in and talk to their elected officials and let them know what is important to them,” said Mills. “We felt it was important they have access to their elected officials.” Schedule The event kicks off with an opening ceremony at 9 a.m. with Al Lunney as the emcee, and a brief ceremony. • 9:30 a.m.: New senior driving program, Josee Bessette, Ministry of Transportation

• 10:15 a.m.: Pole walking with Greg Bellamy • 10:45 a.m.: Fire safety by Pascal Meunier, Mississippi Mills Fire Chief • 11:15 a.m.: Tai Chi with Joy Delahunt • 12:30 p.m.: Bonnie Schnittker, Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit • 1 p.m.: Zumba for Seniors • 1:30 p.m.: Provincial tax credits and benefits for seniors by Caroline Chartrand • 2 p.m.: Chair yoga with April Geogeadis Draw A free draw will take place for a Mississippi Mills ‘staycation’ for Friday Dec. 5 at the Almonte Riverside Inn and Saturday, Dec. 6 at the Fairwinds Country House B&B.

To help them with this planning they held a town hall community meeting on Aug. 20 at the North Lanark Agricultural Society hall in Almonte. “We recognize there are gaps on how we serve the community and instead of forging ahead based on our own ideas, we said let’s get input on how we can serve the community,” said Karin Nakamura, office manager at the LCFB. “We decided to seek input from the community, partners and stakeholders.” The meeting welcomed 19 different participants, with what organizers called some great discussions. There were representatives from: Carleton Place Town Council, Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit, Mills Community Support Corporation, Carleton Place Farmers’ Market, Neighbourhood Tomato Community Gardens, Eternal Hope Anglican Church in Carleton Place and Guthrie United Church in Clayton.

with other agencies in the community and we want to get referrals to and from other organizations,” said Nakamura. “We don’t want anyone falling through the cracks.” Karen Lomas Woods, chair of the board, stressed the food bank doesn’t want to miss anyone and wants to know how they can serve the community better. “There is a lot of perceived stigma in accessing our services, so what steps can we take to educate our community and what can we do for our potential clients to make them more comfortable?” said Lomas Woods. The LCFB serves 200 to 250 families per month (600-plus individuals and one-third are children) and on average they help 13 to 15 new families a month. In July 2013, the LCFB served 493 people and received 10,430lbs of donations and in July 2014, it served 618 people (an increase of 25 per cent) and received 10,048lbs of donations (a decrease of 3.5 per cent). It receives no government funding and the funding of day-to-day operations is a challenge as the majority of donations are ‘in kind’ (food). The LCFB was established in 1988 with the mission to provide safe and nutritional food assistance to clients in

Ice bucket challenge in danger of ‘jumping the shark’

Editorial – Has the ALS ice bucket challenge jumped the shark yet? For the uninitiated, “jumping the shark,” is a term that refers to an old episode of the sitcom Happy Days where The Fonz rides his motorcycle over a shark tank. Guess you had to be there. It is meant to show that a show, or, in this case, an idea, has run its course, run out of fresh and/or funny gimmicks, or has become so popular, with everyone doing it, that it is no longer cool. We have already started asking ourselves – “When do we cut this off? When will people get sick of it?” Well, after discussion amongst ourselves, we have an answer: after the ALS Walk at Lower Reach Park on Saturday, Sept. 13. Smiths Falls Police Service chief Bob Dowdall has challenged readers of the Record News to attend the walk that day, in lieu of further nominating someone else to take the challenge. We believe that this was a fitting challenge decision befitting a man of his stature in the community, and it also marks a turning point. Even the chief recognizes that

people cannot keep getting dunked forever – eventually, everyone is going to get dunked. Now, there is a unique wrinkle in all of this. On Sept. 13, participants of the ALS Walk in Smiths Falls will try to set a new world’s record for the largest number of people taking the ice bucket challenge simultaneously. We certainly hope that they break the world record and enjoy it for 24 hours – because the very next day, at Stewart Park in Perth, the community will be gathering to try to break that number. May the best town win, and we certainly hope that at least one local community walks away a world record holder. Civic bragging rights aside, there is no denying the numbers: last year, according to Maclean’s magazine, the ALS Society fundraising campaign brought in $2.5 million. This year, that number stands at $80 million – and climbing. Yes, it’s all in harmless good fun, and it is creating awareness about a disease some of us had not heard about, even when you mention it by its other name, Lou Gehrig’s disease. But there is a certain amount of a herd

mentality at play here, a degree of peer pressure and group think. Between 700 and 800 people die of this disease in Canada each year. A tragedy, and a terrible way to die. There are also loved ones left behind. But should it not be left to individuals to decide how to disperse their limited discretionary income? If your mother has been reduced to a shadow of her former self because of a stroke, or your best friend has died of heart disease, you’d be forgiven for wanting your money to go there.

Far more people die from these diseases than ALS. Not that ALS sufferers are no less worthy of our sympathy and support – but there is only so much money to go around. All that to say, take the ice bucket challenge if you want to. Donate if you feel it right to do so, not because all of your friends are doing it. If you choose not to, be kind to those who are – chances are, their hearts are in the right place. And let’s taper this fad out quietly, instead of taking a good idea and running it into the ground.

New run delivers for AGH Opinion – When you give birth, you don’t have the choice to pick the nurses and other staff members who are working those hours leading up to the happiest moment of your life. If I did have the choice, I would pick the nurses and staff at Almonte General Hospital (AGH) every time. I was in labour for almost 24 hours at AGH and every second the staff treated me with kindness and respect; more than that, I was a member of their family. Even before I went into labour I was offered a tour of the beautiful obstetrical unit and the two birthing rooms. I felt confident going into labour that I was going to be well taken care of. As you can imagine it was a very long day for myself, my husband and my soon-to-beborn son. But every step of the way the nurses and staff were extremely professional and showed they cared about not only the physical process of giving birth but how I was actually feeling. Once my son was born there were some complications but the doctors and nurses immediately sprang into action and knew exactly what to do. I was worried but I knew he was in their capable hands and once I heard his first cry, it brought tears to my eyes. I will be forever thankful to those doctors and nurses for the work they administered to my son in the minutes following his birth. My little guy is a very healthy 15-monthold, now, but in the days following his delivery he was sent to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) to follow up on his complications. I had someone remark to me that I should have had my baby at a city hospital and they would have been able to handle it better. My response: I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I got the highest quality of care at the Almonte hospital and I am forever grateful for the excellent care I received at their obstetrical unit. The doctors who were caring for my son

were able to monitor his issues and knew when it was time to pass Tiffany’s Take on his care to somewhere like CHEO. Not everyone would have been able to do this. But the wise doctors and nurses in Almonte knew exactly the right steps to take in his care and I am proud to say he was born in Almonte. I ran into Mary Wilson Trider, president and chief executive officer at the hospital this week and one of the first things she asked me was how my son was doing and had a genuine interest in his latest accomplishments. (He’s walking!) The Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor Foundation is currently raising $300,000 for capital equipment, which includes $100,000 to purchase more medical equipment for the obstetrical unit to support the health and wellness of new mothers and babies. This is an incredible investment not only in our hospital, but our community and our future generations. One way local residents can support this fundraising campaign is by participating in the first-ever Mississippi Mills River Run organized by a fellow new mom. Karen Smith gave birth to her first child in Almonte in November 2012 and wanted to give back, so she took the initiative, along with a few other people, to organize the run. I applaud what she has been able to accomplish and congratulate her on the already successful event. I hope as many people as possible come out to the run on Sept. 6, starting at 8:30 a.m. at the Almonte Fairgrounds to take part in the 3km, 5km and 10km timed runs. You can even sign up the day of the run. For more information on the run or to support the foundation, I encourage you to contact Gerry Huddleston, foundation executive director, at 613-256-2514 ext. 2297. When the time comes for me to deliver another baby, someday, I hope and pray that I am able to do it under the exceptional care of the staff at AGH.

Letter to the Editor

Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists respond to ministry letter DEAR EDITOR: In the Aug. 28 issue of the Carleton Place-Almonte Canadian Gazette, Mississippi Mills Coun. Denzil Ferguson submitted a letter from David Orazietti, the former Minister of Natural Resources (MNR,) “to clarify information regarding the Mississippi River water levels”. The letter, dated March 12 is a response by the former minister to Mississippi Mills council regarding concerns about a massive dieback of soft maple trees in the Appleton Wetland caused by high water levels resulting from Enerdu operations. Unfortunately that letter contains a number of statements that the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) could not agree with at that

time. Now that MVFN has completed a year of research and published a final report, The Appleton Wetland; Its Decline, Cause and Recommended Action, there is little doubt that the letter is erroneous and does not clarify anything. MVFN chose to do this study because MNR chose not to. In particular, the conclusion that “there has not been a significant change in the use of flashboards and, therefore, high water did not cause the dieback” is wrong. Our research does show that there was an increase in flashboard height in the years immediately before 2001, along with changes to summer water control. The net result is water levels through the summer growing season were

much higher (and still are) than the trees can tolerate, and this is the direct cause of the observed tree mortality. The trees are drowning. We also object strongly to the minister’s letter which states, “It was noted that the wetland is healthy. However, the soft maples are dying and – because of this – the ecology of the wetland may shift, causing different species to form new communities.” This is true, but the death of the trees will leave behind hundreds of hectares of dead tree boles for tens of decades to come. The wetland’s soft maples are the defining species of this unique wetland. Further, the minister stated, “Making changes to save one species may

cause cumulative impacts to other species in many locations.” This statement is very misleading. What Minister Orizeitti should be saying is “Destroying one species will cause a cumulative impact on other species.” The Appleton Wetland was a thriving soft maple swamp for centuries. It continued in good health throughout the early industrialization of Almonte and up to the end of the 20th century. It was unique enough to be granted the status of a Provincially Significant wetland. Its decline resulting from Enerdu operations has been limited to the past decade or so and correction of those operating water levels will al-

Reader disagrees with recent editorial DEAR EDITOR: I don’t agree with your view editorialized in the Aug. 28 Carleton Place-Almonte Canadian Gazette regarding the need for another inquiry into murdered aboriginal women. I have been closely following this issue from many different sources and I think the article in the Aug. 28 issue of MacLean’s headed up “the solutions are there should we care to act upon them (referring to the numerous studies/ inquiries already on file). Rather than have another study, we need to encourage our elected representatives and the native leaders to take action on the existing recommendations.”

low the trees to survive. We remain hopeful that the MNR response to our report will be positive, that the Mississippi River Water Management Plan (MRWMP) will be amended appropriately, and that nature will restore the wetland to its former state. With the recovery of the forest canopy many departed species will be able to return. The MVFN report on the wetland can be obtained through the MVFN website at mvfn.ca.

Millworkers’ Reunion at textile museum

Community – The Mississippi Valley Textile Museum is hosting its third annual Millworkers’ Reunion on Saturday, Sept. 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. The museum hopes that all former workers from textile mills in Appleton, Almonte, Arnprior, Carleton Place, Perth, or their representatives, will come out to enjoy a pleasant time meeting former acquaintances and sharing Richard Alexander memories. Carleton Place

Here is the final paragraph in the article, which I believe sums up the situation best. “The millions of dollars that would be spent on an inquiry could be used for initiatives that could actually help end violence against Aboriginal girls and women. That would do far more to achieve justice for Tina Fontaine than yet another process to explore problems that are already well-documented and draft solutions that already exist.”

The Barley Shakers Band will entertain with toe-tapping Celtic and Valley tunes, and delicious refreshments will be provided. We also hope that you will bring along a favourite family recipe that can be added to the museum’s new heritage cookbook. Come out and spin a few yarns with us!

Remember these tips to enhance bird feeding program this fall, winter decks, where spilled seed can attract rodent pests. Types of feeders with natural colours are best, as birds are wary of bright conspicuous colours. Do not paint feeders as paint particles may be harmful to birds. Platform feeders are easy to make. They leave seeds open to Mother Nature, thus drainage holes are necessary, plus regular cleaning. Silo or tube feeders are easy to use and move. Small perches allow finches and nuthatches to easily access seeds through small holes in the sides. Hopper feeders dispense

Feeders are clean and ready to be well-located, next to trees or shrubs, to provide birds with shelter. But, keep them far enough from trees so that cats cannot pounce on birds during mealtime. Feeders in locations visible from your windows need to be either less than one metre or more than three metres from windows. Also, keep feeders away from

Community – On Saturday, Sept. 13, you’re invited to the 163rd edition of the wonderful Middleville Fall Fair. The fair continues the tradition of a true fall harvest celebration – complete with livestock shows, home craft exhibits and children’s activities. Nearby Middleville and District Museum will be part of the fair as well, highlighting displays of life on the farm in the old days; a tractor taxi will be offering free rides between the fairgrounds and the museum, so you don’t have to miss anything. Come watch sheep being shorn, see people hand-spinning fleece into yarn – and then visit the knitting and

weaving exhibits to see what can be done with that yarn. Visit local vendors selling produce, baked goods and hand-made items ranging from soaps to shawls to tableware. Watch the livestock being judged: horses, cattle, sheep and swine, poultry – all the farmyard animals. Both folk music and country music will be on-stage through the day. And don’t let the children forget the pet show, the three-legged races, or the stuffed toy competition. A ham and bean lunch, and a full turkey dinner will both be on offer – tickets will be available on-site. The Middleville Fair – an old-fashioned country fair at its best.

lion (grants and taxpayers) in Almonte Old Town Hall and Gillis feels that it should be put to better use. “We should be putting it to a significant use. My first desire was to have it be the municipal town hall but we didn’t achieve that but now we are starting to use it for town staff, parks/recreation/ planner are in there and we are looking at putting the planning department in there too,” said Gillis. “I really value the community, its heritage and I love the small town atmosphere and I will continue to promote that.” He is also concerned about all of the heritage aspects of the community. “We have to protect our natural and built heritage and by that I mean the river, from my point of view the Riverwalk, the views from the walk and I’m very concerned about the Appleton wetland issue, too,” said Gillis.

News – Incumbent councillor Alex Gillis said he has received several calls/ emails from people telling him not to leave council. “Quite a few people are insisting that I should run,” said Gillis. So, Gillis is listening to his supporters and has decided to run again for councillor for the Town of Mississippi Mills. Gillis has been on council for the past 22 years, including the amalgamation from Almonte to Mississsippi Mills and feels he still has the passion to continue. “I’m still quite enthusiastic and I have a lot of energy concerning municipal matters and just recently found myself in council meetings with the gallery full and having all kinds of desire to continue,” said Gillis. “You toy with the idea of leaving and then you encounter topics that are really riveting and increase your desire to participate.” Gillis has lived in Almonte for 26 years and is a retired army colonel who served for 31 years and then worked in the private sector at Martin Marietta Canada Limited. He was responsible for systems engineering and information systems projects. He also attended universities in Nova Scotia and England, obtaining a mechanical engineering degree and a Master of Science in information systems. “I think I bring a lot of experience to the council and a very useful background and an ability to debate well on issues,” said Gillis. “I looked at who was actually running. If a lot of people aren’t coming forward why leave because I still think the issues that I represent are important.” Gills has been very active in the community over the years; he was president of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum for two years; and in the 1990s he was president of the Almonte Tennis Club for eight years, North Lanark Highland Games secretary for eight years, Mississippi River Power Corporation board director for three

about most and it seems to fly under the radar, is the ever escalating water bills we have. They are headed to $1,200 per year,” said Gillis. “I’ve been trying to revisit financial plans and look at cash flow and see if we can implement the rises more sympathetically, phase it in over time rather than one giant increase.” He said the water bill increases affect a lot of people including those on a fixed income. The second money issue is the increases in property taxes. “We haven’t been successful in limiting the property tax increases as much as I would prefer,” said Gillis. “I would like to continue to argue for limited tax increases. We can’t not have tax increases but we can limit it to the extent necessary.” Gillis said he fought very hard for an operational review of the town but it came too late. “We should really be looking at how we run the services of the community and how we can best deliver them cost effectively,” he noted. The municipality has invested approximately $5 mil-

Just Try It program returns to Carleton Place 
for third straight year Community – The Town of Carleton Place Recreation and Culture Department are pleased to once again, present the JustTry It program in Carleton Place. The Just Try It program, now entering its third year, offers residents an opportunity to try a variety of recreational and fitness classes free of charge. 
 “This is a wonderful opportunity for residents to try some of the amazing programs in our community, without the financial obligations of registering,” says community programmer Jessica Smith. “The goal of the Just Try It program is that participants trying a new program for the first time will love enough that they sign up for fu-

ture sessions and keep active within the Town of Carleton Place.” For each session, simply arrive to the location of the class and notify the instructor that you wish to take part in the Just Try It program. This session of the Just Try It program runs throughout the month of September. Participants are encouraged to contact the individual organization for questions on each class, or contact the Carambeck Community Centre for questions regarding the program at 613-257-1704.

Community – Japanese students aged 17-18 got a taste of small-town Canada while visiting Carleton Place from Aug. 15-30 for an ESL Learning Program through Muskoka Language International (MLI). MLI has been sending students from all over the world to Canadian communities for more than two decades. Lanark County families hosted the students who took part in a daily activity program at Carleton Place High School (CPHS). A farewell celebration took place inside CPHS’ cafetorium on Friday, Aug. 29. Clockwise from top left: Students perform a fun dance routine to the popular Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj song Bang Bang; Oyama Rena paints a sign; and wearing their traditional Japanese kimonos are students, from left: Shiho Inui, Saho Ikeda and Yuuka Morobe.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, take the high road when you find yourself in the midst of a disagreement with a friend. It may be tempting to stick to your guns, but the disagreement is nothing too significant.

There are only so many hours in the day, Libra. You need to pick and choose your activities accordingly. You likely will not be able to squeeze everything in.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Much is going on, Taurus, and you have trouble zeroing in on a focal point. Unless you make a list of all you want to accomplish, you may get lost in the shuffle.

Scorpio, if you want to get involved in something, then by all means give it your best shot. If it’s something foreign to you, let others take the reigns until you’re more comfortable.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

You sometimes change your moods on a whim, Gemini. But lately you have been more steadfast in your convictions. This behavior will continue for some time.

A new perspective is all you need to feel better this week, Sagittarius. A change of scenery or even looking to an old friend for advice can make a real difference.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Don’t make any rash moves in the next few days, Cancer. For whatever reason your common sense meter is a little off. You may want to run ideas past a trusted friend for a while.

The friends you thought you could count on turn out to be the real deal, Capricorn. Just see what they have in store for you this week. You will be so surprised.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Leo, unless you try you will never be able to tell if something is within your capabilities. Do not be afraid to fail. It’s better than putting in no effort at all.

It is okay to have strong opinions, Aquarius. But respect the opinions of others who may disagree with your point of view. Learn how to walk away from pointless situations.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Virgo, you’re wearing your heart on your sleeve this week. Don’t worry, as your willingness to share your emotions will endear you to others.

There’s more to the story than meets the eye, Pisces. Quick judgement may land you in hot water. Wait for the dust to settle.

Lifestyle – Serious allergic reactions to food often happen without warning and can quickly become life threatening for some children. As many as 1.2 million Canadians have food allergies and this number may be increasing, especially among children. Up to six per cent of children are estimated to have food allergies. The symptoms of allergic reactions can range from mild skin irritations and hives to breathing difficulties and loss of consciousness. Symptoms can also develop at different rates, sometimes getting worse very quickly. The most dangerous symptoms include breathing difficulties or a drop in blood pressure with shock, which may result in loss of consciousness, or even death. Although many foods can cause allergic reactions, most allergic reactions in Canada are caused by peanuts, tree nuts, sesame seeds, soy, seafood (such as fish, crustaceans and shellfish), wheat, eggs, milk, sulphites and mustard. These ten items are known as “priority allergens.” To date, there is no cure for food allergies. Avoiding the allergen is the only effective way to prevent allergic reactions. This is why it is important that allergic children not be exposed to allergens that regularly cause extreme and sometimes fatal reactions. For this reason, many elementary schools do not allow certain foods in student lunches. Because of the potential seriousness of allergic reactions, many schools have policies in place to stop students from bringing certain items in their lunches. It’s very important for you to follow the school’s food allergen policy closely, even if your child does not have allergies. Make sure your child is aware that it is not safe to trade or share food with other children, in case they have allergies. Here are some specific tips to follow if your child does have food allergies: • If your child has food allergies, your doctor may prescribe an adrenaline auto-injector such as an EpiPen. Always carry an EpiPen and know how to use it. If it is your family members who are affected, teach them how to use it and stress the importance of always having it with them. At the cottage or on a trip, be sure to keep one or more EpiPens on hand. • If your child is subject to severe allergic reactions, train him or her to read labels and ask questions before eating foods. • If your child is allergic to a certain food, make sure the school knows about the allergy. • Work with school staff to come up with a strategy to keep your child safe. • Remind your child that it is not safe to trade or share food. What about food labels? To help parents and Canadians with food allergies identify foods that they should avoid, Health Canada has recently updated the rules governing the labelling of priority allergens. Details are available on food allergen labelling on Health Canada’s website (www.healthycanadians.gc.ca). Always read the labels on the food you pack in your child’s lunch. Don’t pack any food with ingredients that are not allowed at your child’s school. Look for warning statements on the label such as “May Contain...” Remember, even trace amounts can cause a severe allergic reaction. Submitted by Health Canada.

Calculate the EER by dividing the unit’s cooling capacity (BTUs/ hour) by its energy requirement (watts). An EER of 10 or more is very good, and 6 or 7 is fair.

Catch the colours and fall Brosnan shines in summer-ending spy thriller asleep in Ontario parks Lifestyle – As fall approaches, cooler evenings mean better sleeping conditions, especially if you’re enjoying fresh air during the day and sleeping under a roof in an Ontario provincial park at night. Ontario Parks offers a variety of roofed accommodations, including cabins, yurts and cottages. Whether you’re looking for the simplicity of a soft-sided shelter, the convenience of trailer camping or the luxury of Maple Rest Heritage House at the Sandbanks Provincial Park, Ontario Parks offers it all. Maybe you’d prefer to bring your own accommodation. If you own an RV or rent one, many parks offer electrical hook-ups and other amenities, like trailer dumping and water-filling stations. Campsites can be reserved online 24 hours a day or by calling the park reservation line at 1-888-ONTPARK between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. daily. Encouraging people to explore Ontario’s parks is part of the government’s plan to invest in people, build modern infrastructure and support a dynamic business climate. “Ontario’s provincial parks are beautiful places to visit throughout

the year,” stated Bill Mauro, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. “I encourage people to think outside the tent and extend their enjoyment of our parks into the cooler months by taking advantage of the many roofed overnight opportunities that they offer.” Quick facts • There are more than 330 provincial parks in Ontario, covering more than eight million hectares – larger than Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island combined. • In 2013, Ontario’s provincial parks received more than 8.5 million visits from people around the world, bringing in $69 million in revenue and supporting jobs and businesses across the province. • Starting Labour Day weekend, park visitors can consult Ontario Parks’ Fall Colours Report to see the progress of leaf change across the province. See the 2014 Ontario Parks Guide or get a printed copy by calling 1-800-ONTARIO (6682746). For more information, visit www.ontarioparks.com. Submitted by Ontario Parks.

Peter Devereaux (Pierce Brosnan) is a retired CIA operative who gets pulled back into the game by his old handler Hanley (Bill Smitrovich). A former colleague, Natalia (Mediha Musliovic), is deep undercover in Russia, and has important information that could take down the next Russian president Arkady Federov (Lazar Ristovsk). She needs out, and Hanley says she’s asked for Peter. Peter goes to Russia and gets Natalia, but it doesn’t go well. Natalia is killed by a CIA hit squad led by Peter’s former protégée David Mason (Luke Bracey). Before Natalia dies she tells Peter a name and hands him her phone with pictures of Federov and a young girl. The name leads Peter to a social worker, Alice (Olga Kurylenko), who may be able

to lead him to the girl. The girl is the key to uncovering a conspiracy that ties Federov to the Chechen War. The CIA and Federov both want Alice, and what she might know. Peter has to keep Alice alive long enough to figure out the truth, and who he can trust. The November Man is an intense game of chess as the teacher Devereaux takes on his former pupil Mason. Each spy tries to outmaneuver the other, yet there’s so much more to the game than just these two. Other players are constantly making moves, and then changing the rules. It builds in intensity with every twist to the plot, and each twist in the plot is better than the next. It’s the perfect blend of action and drama, and is one of the best spy movies to come out in a while. Pierce Brosnan isn’t just good, he’s

astoundingly good. He’s played his share of spies and spy-like characters over the years, and he has never been better than he is in The November Man. There was never a moment when I didn’t believe he was every inch the CIA operative. Olga Kurylenko is both stunning and compelling in her performance. Her character is dragged into the world of espionage, and forced to trust a man she hardly knows. Kurylenko portrays her character with incredible strength and depth of emotion. David Mason is the young agent still looking to prove himself to his former teacher and partner. He’s caught between his training and his desires. He’s caught between his orders and what he believes may be right. Luke Bracey nails the role. Bill Smirtrovich plays spy master Hanley perfectly. You’re never sure what game he’s playing. You’re never sure if he can be trusted. It’s a great role and Smirtovich takes full advantage of it. I love spy films, and The November Man is a great spy film.

Local author debuts first children’s book echoing her world-wind adventures Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@perfprint.ca

Community – Red the wolf travels across the country to find his big brother, Blue and what an adventure it is. Now, his journey is set to hit major bookstores across Canada and the United States in just a few short weeks. The Adventures of Red was born from the reallife adventures of Almonte resident and first-time author Monique Martell’s cross-country road trip. Martell has lived in Almonte for the past three years and has family with strong roots in the community. After she retired in 2006, Martell and her husband travelled across Canada and the United States through 10 provinces, two territories and 45 of the 50 American States. Martell’s husband gave her a stuffed animal and he would make up stories about Red the wolf before going to sleep. “My husband kept telling me these stories on our travels and I said, ‘You know what? I’m going to write them down,” said Martell. “It’s all the places we have been, which makes it pretty exciting…I’ve always wanted to write a book but never thought it would be a children’s story.” It took Martell five to six years to write the book, but she says she sat on the final draft for more than a year. “I was afraid, I did not know a thing about publishing,” said Martell. After some research online, she found Evelyn Budd of Budd Publishing, who is a self- publishing coach and sent it to her. “That night I got her response and she said

Almonte’s Monique Martell holds up her first-ever book The Adventures of Red, which will hit bookstores in a few weeks. it was wonderful, it was so encouraging,” said Martell. “With her knowledge and expertise she put me in touch with an editor, an illustrator (Jim Boucher from Smiths Falls) and she did the graphic design work.” Now that the book is finally finished she is very excited about the outcome. “It feels amazing, awesome, exhilarating,” said Martell. “When I picked up the book it was the most

incredible feeling, I had goosebumps on my arms and tears in my eyes.” There are three main characters: Red, the young wolf, Ambie, his younger sister and Bumby, his friend who is a big elk. Martell says the book is a thrilling read for boys and girls ages 7 to 11-years-old.

“It’s a story about a young Canadian wolf who goes looking for his big brother after he does not return from a day of hunting,” said Martell. “Red and Bumby embark on an amazing journey to find Red’s big brother, Blue.” It also has many practical life lessons for young readers. “The story shows many qualities of teamwork as well as sharing and helping each other, especially in difficult times,” said Martell. “They also learn about the consequences that happen when one makes the wrong choice…Red gets in trouble all the way through.” The journey will also teach readers about wildlife and some famous landmarks on the way such as the Calgary Stampede, Banff and Salmon Glacier in British Columbia. They will also learn about western Canada, Alaska and local geography. “It’s a fast-paced story with engaging coloured illustrations that will delight people of all ages and it’s an easy read,” said Martell. “I left the chapter ending so kids can say ‘What’s going to happen?’ and parents reading can say ‘That’s for tomorrow night.’” Copies of the books will be available in all major bookstores, (Chapters, Indigo, Barnes and Nobles) in a few weeks across Canada and the United States; in stores in Canada, it will cost $19.95 for a hardcover and $14.95 for paperback. However, local residents can purchase a copy directly from Martell by calling her at 613-2564143 for $15 for a hardcover or $10 for a paperback. She is also donating copies to local libraries as her gift to them.

Doucette is back: Former councillor running again in Carleton Place Tara Gesner

tgesner@perfprint.ca

R0012877412_0904

News – Former Carleton Place Coun. Brian Doucette is coming out of political retirement to run in this October’s municipal election. After filing his paperwork for councillor, Doucette said, “I chose to run in this year’s election because having closely followed many of the critical issues facing the community I believe I have valuable skills to offer.” “A town grows best when its council pursues well thought out solutions and new initiatives that address the concerns of the residents,” he added. “With my experience and neverafraid-of-a-challenge nature I can work well with other members of council to achieve these goals.” Now 60, Doucette has been out of politics for eight years, but the last time he ran – in 2003 – he was elected and was within 40 votes of topping the polls. “I garnered 600 more votes than the person (Paul Dulmage) who won the mayor’s seat that year,” he said. From 2003 to 2006 Doucette served on all committees of council, and he chaired the policy review and planning and development committees. Furthermore, he sat on the boards of the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital, Carleton Place Police Services Board and Mississippi

Brian Doucette Valley Conservation Authority. The local boy considers himself experienced, professional and fair, and he has adopted the campaign motto, “Taking action, getting results.” Listing his top three priorities if elected, Doucette noted, “Ensuring council treats the public with respect and hears their concerns and acts appropriately on those concerns.” Moreover, he wants to work to use proven technology to improve services and lower costs...keeping taxes affordable. “(I want to) ensure council decisions are based on reliable, accurate,

timely and complete information,” Doucette said. Politics runs in Doucette’s blood. His father (the late Allan Doucette) served on Carleton Place council and the Lanark County Board of Education, and Arthur Blackburn, “my grandfather served on Lanark Township council at one time.” Doucette left a career in the insurance industry at the end of the 1980s to open up BWD Systems, a full-service computer technical services firm, which he has operated in Carleton Place’s Business Park North to date. Looking to the future, Doucette said, “The community will continue to grow with residential increases due to our proximity to Ottawa. That will evolve naturally. But, the challenge is to encourage small to medium-sized businesses to embrace Carleton Place as their new home and a great place to do business as well as encourage existing business growth.” Without a balance of residential and commercial taxation, he noted the town would run into problems meeting the growing costs of basic services and the maintenance of those services. “I see planning for the next 10, 15, 20 years to be critical, not just the next five years,” Doucette continued. In 2001 Doucette initiated the Carleton Place Ratepayers’ Association and served as its chair for two years.

He stepped down from the organization when he ran for council. Doucette continues to be an active member of the community. Voters head to the polls on Oct. 27. For more information on the candiR0012871654_0904

New changes at ADHS will make getting to class safer “Our Grade 7 and 8s were crossing that street to go to their recess yard,” explained Ferguson. “Today, you would never design a school campus with a road going through it.” The recess space has a shaded area and room for the kids to play. “We want them to be active at recess,” said Ferguson. The street can still be used for emergency purposes but on a daily basis it will serve as a crossing for students to the new sports field or to play sports on, such as ball hockey.

you need to update it to make it a 21st century school,” he commented. The Upper Canada District School Board recently purchased a portion of Stephen Street to Mitcheson Street, which the school will also utilize now.

News – Almonte and District High School is changing with the times. There are a number of new improvements that students will see when they return to class this week, both inside and outside. The changes include a new bus area, paved parking lot, sports field, basketball court, the purchasing of a portion of a street and new traffic lights. The total cost of the entire project: $500,000. One of the major changes is at the bus-loading zone. Students used to catch the bus on Martin Street North and Stephen Street but now they will be loading in a new paved parking lot where Comba School used to be. “The old way was not ideal, this is a safer solution,” explained principal Ron Ferguson. The buses will go in a loop around the outside of the parking lot, entering on Martin Street, into the parking lot and exiting on Teskey Street. “It’s safer and it’s better for the community because the buses will be picking up and dropping the students off the road,” said Ferguson. There are also new audible pedestrian signals to help move pedestrians across Martin Street. The new paved and lit parking lot

The school also has a new full-sized basketball court and regulation sports field for soccer/football. “Before our students didn’t have an official field and they had to walk to Naismith School,” said Ferguson. The school is planning a pep rally and an official ceremony at the first football game of the year in midSeptember. Also new this year are three new student spaces for performance arts, a fitness centre and a new technology area.

Stage two archaeological assessment for Hooper Street industrial land akulp@perfprint.ca

News – Whether they wanted to know or not, Carleton Place will soon find out if there is anything of archaeological significance underneath the Hooper Street industrial lands. The issue came up for discussion at the town’s community development committee meeting Aug. 11 in Carleton Place council chambers. It’s expected that the stage two archaeological assessment will cost the town between $10,000 and $15,000. The lands, in the Hooper Street Park, have been earmarked for future development and were the subject of a stage one archaeological assessment due to the presence of the former brickyards onsite. It was completed, under a funding agreement with the Ontario Site Certified Program, by Past Recovery Archaeological Services Inc. for $2,452.50, back in the spring, the results of which triggered the stage two assessment. If the town does the study within the site certified program, 50 per cent of the costs associated will be reimbursed. “Archaeological studies are required as part of the site certified program, which is being done by the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Employment to market lands to the province for

foreign investment,” explained Carleton Place’s economic development co-ordinator Jasmin Ralph. However, she said this one will be done for the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. The former brickyards are located on the northern part of the industrial lands and while Ralph said that as a town, an archaeological study isn’t required as part of development, “it’s difficult for us to continue to develop with a study that says there could be protected archaeological finds on the site.” “This was unexpected and I’m hoping to get quotations from different consulting companies to get this done,” she continued. According to Carleton Place chief administrative officer Paul Knowles, the town is between a rock and a hard place when it comes to the stage two assessment. “This is hanging over our heads,” he said, noting that it was strictly an archaeological study “not environmental. They’re going to dig in the ground and find a bunch of tools used in brickmaking.” If items of archaeological significance are found, Ralph said it would limit development on Hooper Street. “How could we sell a parcel (of land) in good faith to somebody if there are archaeological items that says to be careful on

the site?” Ralph questioned. “We could sell it and someone would run out to look for a building permit and find these issues. Once you open the can of worms, you have to close it.” Mayor Wendy LeBlanc pointed out that proximity to water and artifacts is what traditionally triggers an archaeological assessment. “Is this the first time

we’ve had a situation like this, Paul?” she asked Knowles. “Yes, this is out of the ordinary of what would normally be factors,” he answered. Committee member and Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce manager, Jackie Kavanagh, wondered what the findings of the stage two assessment would suggest. “If there’s

nothing there, can we go ahead (and develop)?” she asked. “Yes, they are going to dig a few holes and tell us nothing is there,” Ralph stated. “Or, they will dig a few holes and find something and tell us something is there,” Knowles interjected. “I see no other choice here, Jasmin,” noted Coun. Doug

Black. Coun. Louis Antonakos was disappointed with the news. “So, we may be paying for information that will seal our fate in terms of the marketability of that land?” he said. “That is a possibility, but we’re doing what we’re supposed to do according to the ministry,” Knowles explained.

Perth’s BarnDoor Productions launches into 20th anniversary season Arts – The fall of 2014 is the beginning of a special season for Perth’s original community theatre, as BarnDoor Productions (BDP) launches into their 20th anniversary season. Beginning in school and community halls, moving on to help create and fund their long-term home at Perth’s Studio Theatre, then finally opening their own building at the Full Circle Theatre (FCT) in August 2011, BarnDoor Productions has always worked first and foremost to present theatre of a very high quality to their public. “They have been called “a professional theatre that works with amateurs” and “community theatre as it was meant to be.” Past productions have ranged from the sublime (Hamlet, Romeo & Juliet) to the ridiculous (A Flea In Her Ear, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)); from the intense (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The Last Deadman) to the intensely comic (Noises Off, Not Now Darling); from the charming (The Importance of Being Earnest, The Tyranny of Tears) to the frightening (Deathtrap, Gaslight). The group has brought numerous original plays to stage, such as 2011’s Free Spirits; have created original musicals such as 2008’s The Lure of the Lights; have presented classics and chestnuts, tear-jerkers and kneeslappers, toe-tappers and brain-teasers, and all built around the talents of the people in the community. Their 20th anniversary season is a season building on the strengths of the past and pointing toward the future for the group. It includes three Tony Award-

It’s 20 seasons for BarnDoor Productions (BDP). Community players Garry Welsh and Brenda Healey celebrate VE Day in a scene from BDP’s very first production, MapleLeaf Up/MapleLeaf Down in April of 1995. The Perth-based community theatre is launching into their 20th anniversary season this fall, which will end next April, 20 years, almost to the day, since their very first performance. winning plays, two Pulitzer Prize winners, shows as hot from Broadway as they can be acquired, shows with decades of caché behind them and more. Here it is in one sentence: Venus In Fur by David Ives (October); Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald and John K. Alvarez (November/December); August: Osage County by Tracy Letts (February); and Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller (April), which will be BDP’s 100th production. That’s a season that includes two of Broadway’s hottest shows of the last five years, one of the greatest American plays of all time and

a re-mount of the funniest holiday show we’ve ever done. If that’s not enough, our summer season will include a new Canadian comedy and one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved romances. Venus In Fur will launch the season on Oct. 17. Author David Ives has imagined a playwright obsessed with a classic erotic novel and his search for the perfect actress for it. It’s a twoperson whirlwind of “the erotics of power” (New York Times) that rocked and shocked Broadway in 2011, was nominated for a Tony as Best Play, won Best Actress for the astonishing Nina

Ariadne and became the most produced play in North America in 2012. And, oh yes, it’s a comedy! It is fast, intense, erotic, shocking, scary, comic and much more and BarnDoor Productions will be bringing it to the stage in their patented high-energy style. Venus In Fur will run Oct. 17, 18, 23, 24, 25 at 8 p.m. and Oct. 19 and 26 at 2 p.m. The group is also sending out a heads-up to performers for the auditions for August: Osage County, which will reach the stage in February but will have an open audition on Monday, Nov. 17. All of the details on this Tony and Pulitzer-winning show are available on

BDP’s website. Of course, there are lots of other events at Full Circle Theatre as well, with Film Night International returning for a fourth year to Full Circle Theatre. The semi-weekly series of great cinema starts Wednesday, Sept. 24. The lineup and subscription information on this Perth & District Public Library fundraiser series can be found at filmnightinternational. blogspot.ca. The first musical concert of the season will be on Oct. 2, when Charles MacPhail Productions presents internationally acclaimed guitarist Don Ross, with special guest Thomas Leeb. Tickets for that are Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street, Perth or by calling 613-267-6817. And, the Academy For Musical Theatre, after bringing their summer workshop series to FCT this year, will be back in the fall and beyond with their acclaimed program of theatre for young people. They are at www.musictheatre. ca. All of the above and much more, including video and photos from 19 seasons and 95 productions, information on getting a subscription of BDP’s 20th anniversary Season, as well as on our auditions and other events, can be found at www.barndoorproductions.ca. It will be a very full season of great theatre for BarnDoor Productions. All it needs now is the support of the community – onstage, to take part in some of the best community theatre around, and offstage, to see, hear, be entertained, excited and grabbed by some of the best community theatre around.

Brakes should be inspected annually Lifestyle – Braking systems on vehicles may seem very much like a leave them until they’re broken type of thing leaving little a vehicle owner has to do themselves. After all everything else on the car has a warning system, so brakes should let us know when they need attention, right? Well, as with most things automotive, it’s not quite that simple. While advances in brake system design and engineering have brought some great improvements to this vital safety system, no one yet has invented a maintenance-free brake, so from time to time a little attention is needed. Most vehicles today have disc brakes on the front and rear, but drum brakes are still a popular feature on the rear wheels of many cars and light trucks. Disc brakes have exposed metal tracks that guide the pads or linings towards the brake disc or rotor when the pedal is applied and away from the rotor when the brakes are released. Thanks to the proliferation of open spoke wheel rim designs, these calipers are exposed to all the road salt, grit, water, and anything else our highways and weather can throw at them. If these ‘guide tracks’ get rusted and dirty (and you just know they will) the brake pads can ‘stick’ on the rotor after the pedal is released leading to premature wear and sometimes overheated rotors. In some extreme cases these sticking events can lead to a completely locked up wheel or a severe pull to one side or the other when the brakes are applied. Brakes, no matter how far the vehicle is driven or what type it is, should be inspected annually. Most service centres

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

(whether dealership, independent, or national chains) offer almost continual specials on engine oil change services combined with a series of inspections which always include the brakes. If the guides do require attention, they usually require disassembly, polishing with a grit wheel, and lubrication with a good heat-proof product. Prices for this type of service vary widely depending on the type of vehicle and labour rates, but for most mainstream ‘domestic’ products you can expect a range of $100 to $130 per set (front or rear). Having this done when needed can avoid replacing the rotors, pads, and sometime caliper units at much higher costs, not to mention improved safety. Even the best auto service counter consultants sometimes omit this advice, so I’ll add it here. If you’re picking your vehicle up from the shop after having the brake linings (pads/shoes) and rotors or drums replaced, drive carefully on the way home. This is especially important for drum/shoe brakes. After brake pads or shoes are replaced it can take a few kilometres and more than a few brake applications to ‘seat’ the new linings in. Even on the best designed auto, nothing’s perfect. The guides that the pads ride on don’t apply those linings so that the force is evenly distributed

across the face of the pads. And rear drum brake shoes don’t make a perfect circle, so those linings aren’t evenly applied either. Therefore during the first several brake applications the pads and shoe lining materials will wear in a very unique pattern to match the surface of the discs and/or drums. If you jam the brakes on hard or complete a panic stop, you can heat up the linings so that they won’t ‘wear in’ correctly. This can lead to noises and vibrations. So, if you want to get the best braking performance out of the money you’ve spent, take it easy if safe to do so, for the first couple of drives. There is still plenty of chrome to see in the area this weekend so don’t miss out.

I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models.

Hyundai has made a lot of their ‘fluidic sculpture’ design as of late but the new Sonata seems to have toned back the curves in exchange for a more conservative look. It’s a very subjective opinion, but this styling will have a much longer shelf or driveway life, leading to it looking fresh and new for years to come.

If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The 2015 Hyundai Sonata I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Smiths Falls Hyundai in Smiths Falls. Dealer principal Steve Leblanc at Smiths Falls Hyundai knows I prefer to road test entry or mid-level versions of vehicles, so I thought he was pulling a fast one when I drove one of the new seventh-generation Sonatas off the lot recently. It was so well equipped I thought it had to be a top or at least second from the top trim level. Imagine my surprise when I reviewed the window sticker and learned it was the entry level GL trim. Hyundai Canada has held the prices to last year’s mark on the Sonata GL which is a rare treat from automakers these days, especially considering it’s a ground up new model with much more extensive equipment supplied as standard fare. The GL is priced at $23,999 and the top sibling in this seven-member family, the Sport 2.0 Turbo Ultimate is only $34,799 (all prices before destination fees, license, taxes, or purchase incentives). My GL trim came standard with everything you’d expect in this price class plus remote entry (with alarm), 5” touchscreen display with rear-view camera, satellite radio, height adjustable heated seats, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, automatic headlamps, 16” alloy wheels, and cell-phone hands-free connectivity just to skim the highlights. Power comes from the tried and true 2.4 L direct injection four-cylinder engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The engine delivers a respectable 185 hp and 178 lb-ft of torque. Hyundai has made a lot of their ‘fluidic sculpture’ design as of late but the new Sonata seems to have toned back the curves in exchange for a more conservative look. It’s a very subjective opinion, but this styling will have a

This 1970 Malibu hardtop is still with its original owner Community – Elsie Barnett lives with her husband Richard on their farm near Cottam, Ont., in the heart of Essex County. Parked beside her airplane on their property is a classic car that Elsie has owned since new: “It was over 44 years ago when I purchased my 1970 Malibu hardtop. I was 28 years old at the time. I am the original owner and the car was ordered from the factory the way I wanted it – no cowl indicator (air scoop with turn signals) or racing stripes. Just a plain ordinarylooking Malibu. The car has a 350 cubic inch and 250 hp Chevy V8 engine with 2-barrel carburetor. The optional AM-FM radio is factory equipped along with an 8-track player. The colour is Cranberry Red.” The Malibu was the fancy version of the Chevelle, a mid-size car introduced by General Motors in 1964. The Chevelle name was discontinued after 1977 but the Malibu Remained in production until 1983. Elsie continues: “My 1970 Malibu arrived at Strait Motors in Port Hawkesbury, Cape Breton, on Saturday, February 7, 1970. From there I drove it to my home in St. Peters, Cape Breton. I arrived in Essex County in 1974 and married Richard Barnett. My Malibu has its home at our farm in Essex County, Ontario.” When Elsie bought her car, she fell so much in love with it that she promised herself she would never sell it – and she

never did! Over the years, wear and tear required that her Malibu be restored. A new rust-free frame from a southern state was a good starting point in bringing the car back to life. The restoration was completed in 2013 and Elsie drives the car on days when the weather is nice. All that remains is the rechroming of the trim pieces that fit the window sills on each side. When I arrived to see the car, Elsie had already parked it outside. It gleamed and glistened in the warm morning sun and looked like it had just rolled off the assembly line. It has been repainted in the original Cranberry Red and the interior also has been redone as original. Not content with just a Malibu, Elsie also wanted her own airplane. She bought hers from Dr. George Bruner and her first flight was over the Detroit River. Since then, she has taken part in many air shows. She showed us a special gas tank at the front of the cockpit. That auxiliary tank gives the engine a steady supply of fuel when Elsie is flying upside-down! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billsherk@sympatico.ca or write Submitted photo Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2. Also see Elsie Barnett poses with pride alongside the 1970 Malibu she bought new on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia more than 44 years ago. www.TheOldCarDetective.ca..

much longer shelf or driveway life, leading to it looking fresh and new for years to come. Inside the driver and passenger are welcomed by a very spacious interior with ample front and rear leg, shoulder, hip, and head clearance. The interior volume measures out at just over 3,000 L. The rear seat is not just for children, but will accommodate tall and full-sized adults with comfort for the long haul. The trunk is long and spacious at 462 L with deck lid hinges that don’t intrude into the storage area to reduce usable space. The instrument panel and audio and HVAC controls are well laid out and easy to use. Steering wheel switches are mounted only on the front with good clearance and feel to avoid unintended activation. One of the ‘neat to discover’ features of the information display, (between the analogue tachometer and speedometer), was a warning on start up to indicate if you left the front wheels turned to any great degree. In tight parking spaces, this reminder can easily prevent contacting a nearby car (or the garage doorway) when backing out. On the road, this Sonata was one of the quietest and smoothest Hyundai’s I’ve driven. The 2.4 L engine won’t put you in the back seat on hard acceleration, but you can pass, merge, and drive confidently. While the vehicle looks heavy, (a comment I received from a passerby) it weighs in at a fuel efficient 1475 kg. NRCan fuel economy ratings are 9.8 L/100 km city and 6.7 L/100 km highway (29 and 42 mpg respectively). Its 70 L fuel tank should deliver almost 800 km of mixed driving and cost about $84 to fill at $1.30/L. The P205/65R16 tires my GL tester was shod with are available from a medium sized range of makers in the $150-$225 price arena. Dealership oil changes will only set you back about $40 and with the volume that Hyundai will sell of this model; you can be assured of very competitive maintenance and repair prices for years to come. It will be hard, very hard to find a midsized sedan with all the features that the Sonata offers for a better price and with this all-new 2015, Hyundai proves it’s capable of converting more than its share of consumers from the competition.
