the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. “Today, over 60 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive, compared to 25 per cent years ago,” she said. “With your research dollars, we can do better than this, and we will do better than this.” Wishing everyone a fun, good night, Carol added, “Each one of us has someone or several people we are thinking about tonight.” “We know why we are here.” Kimberly’s story The night’s guest speaker was Kimberly Pearson – cancer survivor. “Two years ago, I would have never come up here,” she said. “I would have been terrified that I’d have a seizure in front of all of you and make a fool of myself.” Furthermore, hair from her head would be collecting in her hands, and a scar from brain surgery would be healing and

hurting. She’d be falling asleep from the morning’s radiation treatment, her hand would be shaking due to an inability to control the nerves to her brain, and she’d be walking in circles as a way to cope with the restless leg syndrome – a side effect of chemotherapy drugs. “And I’d be afraid to tell you all that I was 28 and I had cancer,” she said. Today, she is in remission, and at age 30, she is spreading the word to other fighters to value each day and be a proud cancer survivor. “I learned so much about life from being a cancer patient,” said Pearson. “My two weeks in the hospital that I dreaded so much, I don’t look back at them as a bad time but as a surprisingly fun time that still makes me smile.” “I don’t remember being scared or sad or alone,” she continued. “Everyone I knew (family, friends, acquaintances and coworkers) spent every waking minute with me. They were always there for me, just

celebrating life.” They had dinners, television nights, and most importantly they laughed. “Everybody around me realized how precious life was,” said Pearson. “Everyone got a wakeup call.” Life can’t be taken for granted. “If we can make it through cancer, we can make it through all those little things that life throws our way,” she said. Hakuna Matata (No worries!) became her motto, and it is tattooed on the back of her neck as a reminder. Pearson knows cancer is a life-long battle, but for now she deals with life one day at a time and celebrates life’s moments. “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning how to dance in the rain,” she said.

Entertainment – Puppets Up!, Fibrefest, the Almonte Fair: Mississippi Mills has a plethora of festivals and events to celebrate the community. Now another event can be added to that ever-growing list as, for the first time ever, Mississippi Mills will participate in Culture Days, a weekend-long event spotlighting a community’s individual culture. “It’s great to have something to celebrate our culture,” said Tiffany MacLaren, the town’s community economic and cultural coordinator. “It defines us. It’s something that we have in excess; something that we’re known for here.” Culture Days is a nationwide event that takes place each fall. It was started in 2009, and according to its website, the event is “devoted to providing Canadians with opportunities to participate in, and appreciate, all forms of arts and culture.” Culture Days will take place on Sept. 27 to 29 across the country, and now in Mississippi Mills as well. On Saturday, Sept. 28, organizations will be hosting all kinds of workshops and showcases to engage the public in various cultural activities, from dance to music. JB Arts, from Almonte, will be hosting a hands-on acrylic painting demonstration at Almonte Old Town Hall from 3 to 4 p.m.; the Mississippi Music Society will be holding an open rehearsal where locals can

First Culture Days this weekend

By TARA GESNER

Community – It was a ladiesonly night out benefitting the Canadian Cancer Society. The inaugural Little Black Dress Event in Carleton Place on Saturday night, Sept. 21, was a huge success, offering fun and pampering for a crowd of more than 300. There was a real sense of occasion and everyone had made a real effort to glam up. The party atmosphere in the upper hall of the local arena offered attendees an opportunity to catch up with friends, relax and raise funds for charity. The Canadian Cancer Society celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. The Little Black Dress Event included a Shepherd’s fashion show, silent auction, prize draws, games, red carpet, glamour photos (Mike Gauthier/ Freedom Photography), music and hot and cold hors d’oeuvres by Leatherworks, as well as a goodie bag for all attendees. Proceeds from the popular balloon pop, which quickly sold out, will be used to assist the Canadian Cancer Society’s Wheels of Hope campaign, which provides transportation and support for those living with cancer. The Ocean Wave Fire Company fire fighters were also present on Saturday, along with members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The night’s emcee and disc jockey was Jack Denovan. “Doesn’t Carleton Place know how to do it up well, ladies?” asked mayor Wendy LeBlanc. “Jack, I hope you realize how lucky you are to be with over 300 of the most beautiful women in the area.” The town’s leader thanked event organizer Carol Dryburgh and her “wonderful team of people.” They are: Kate Bennett, Lorna Drummond, Leanne Dryburgh, Lisa Ross, Sarah Sanftenberg and Gay Wilson. Carol, the president of the Almonte, Carleton Place & Pakenham branch of the Canadian Cancer Society, told the ladies in attendance the mission of the organization was

CDSBEO develops bully prevention plan discipline, schools are instructed to respond to and deal with difficult behaviours by using a restorative approach, allowing students to understand the effect of their actions. The approach facilitates an environment where relationships can be repaired and rebuilt. Additional specialized student supports are put in place when a serious or repeated case may exist in order to stop bullying and student victimization. The draft plan will be publicly available for consultation; any comments can be directed to Karen.Hogan@cdsbeo. on.ca. Use of copyright-protected works for education The Copyright Act (R.S.C. 1985) is the federal statute that governs copyright law in Canada. The act is intended to balance the interests that people have in using copyright-protected works with the rights of creators to receive payment for the use of those works. On June 29, 2012, the act was amended with the passage of the Copyright Modernization Act. A key amendment was the expanded fair dealing provision to identify education as one of the eligible purposes for fair dealing. The Ministry of Education has, in response, set out recommended guidelines to describe the conditions and limits of fair dealing for education, and by extension, the roles and responsibilities of school boards regarding the use of copyright-protected works in compliance with the copyright act. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Charlotte Rouleau, outlined the guidelines for fair dealing provisions to the board of trustees. These guidelines permit the use of copyright-protected works without permission or payment of royalties. To qualify for fair dealing, the use of the work must be for the purpose stated in the copyright act: research, private study, criticism, review, news reporting, education, satire, and parody. In addition, use of the copyright-protected work must be fair; this means that a teacher can make copies of short excerpts for each student in her or her class, however teachers cannot copy whole textbooks. Examples of short excerpts include

a single article from a magazine, one chapter from a book, a newspaper article, or up to ten per cent of a copyrighted-protected work. Compliance strategies have been created for school boards, and the fair dealing guidelines have been distributed to all CDSBEO teachers. In addition, copyright posters which summarize the fair dealing guidelines have been posted for educators at Board computers, work stations, and photocopiers. Ontario EcoSchools certification Ontario EcoSchools is an environmental education and certification program for grades kindergarten to 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 certified as an EcoSchool through an annual certification process which assesses and recognizes accomplishments awarding points in six key areas of achievement. Curriculum consultant, Tanya Sesbreno, summarized the Ontario EcoSchools Certification Program for the board of trustees. In order to become certified, schools must consider the certification guide, which provides a quick reference tool for the five steps to certification. The guide also provides tips for successful completion of the certification process. Schools receive points for five areas of consideration which must be complete to obtain an EcoSchools certification. These five areas include: teamwork and leadership, energy conservation, waste minimization, school ground greening, curriculum connections to the environment, and environmental stewardship. Schools from the CDSBEO first began applying to become certified as an Ontario EcoSchool in 2009. That year, three elementary and three secondary schools became certified. Since then, applications from the board have grown exponentially each year. Nine schools were certified in the 2010-11 school year, 15 the following year, and 17 in the 2012-13 school year. Submitted by the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario.

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) regular meeting held Sept. 17 at the board office in Kemptville. A draft board bully prevention and intervention plan has been developed by the CDSBEO, in response to the Ministry of Education’s Policy Program Memorandum 144. Under this legislation, schools and school boards must provide students with the opportunity to learn and develop in a safe, inclusive, and accepting school climate. Research also indicates that early intervention is essential for both the victim of bullying and the child who bullies. Superintendent of school effectiveness, Dr. Donaleen Hawes, presented an overview of the draft plan to the board of trustees. To develop the plan, the board is soliciting views from principals, staff, students, parents, community partners, and the special education advisory committee. The plan focuses on building resiliency and using restorative practices for prevention, identifying targeted interventions, and providing specialized supports, including community mental health supports. Building resiliency and positive mental health is a central focus for the plan at the preventative stage. This approach is strengths based; encouraging students through positive supports which helps them to focus on developing their gifts. Resiliency surveys are used to help identify any students who may require additional supports to build resiliency. School teams focus on developing empathy, understanding and effective skills by using early prevention strategies and programs such as Roots of Empathy and WITS (Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out, Seek help) and various social justice initiatives. Proactive classroom circles are used to support the building of an environment that is positive and inclusive. While many students respond positively to the prevention programs and activities, some students require more targeted interventions and specialized programs. Reinforced by the school code of conduct, and the use of progressive

Delta United congregation marks 185th anniversary Sept. 29 Events – Let’s celebrate! On Sunday, Sept. 29, starting at 10:30 a.m. the Delta United congregation will celebrate three milestones in the life of their congregation with guest minister Rev. David Timpson and special music by the choir. Refreshments will follow the service. The church celebrates 185 years having started as a Methodist congregation in 1828 with visits made by Saddle Bag Preachers out of Kingston. In the beginning the first settlers would meet in each other’s homes or at the school house and possibly the mill but they also congregated in the Anglican Church sharing space with the Baptists. A few years later the Anglican Diocese purchased the building.

They celebrate 125 years in their current building that includes the bell tower, sanctuary and hall. The Methodist congregation had built their first church in 1868 which in just 20 years they outgrew. In 1888, Beverley/Delta was a very prosperous community so the congregation managed to build their second church on land donated by the Russell family. In 1925 the Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregationalists amalgamated to form the United Church of Canada, hence changing the name, but nonetheless the people continued to congregate in the same building. The celebration gives thanks to all who helped in any way with the renovations to the building. With fi-

nancial help from the federal government’s Community Infrastructure and Improvement Funding (CIIF) they have completed repairs/replacements to the main roof, installed an energy efficient propane furnace and a new hot water tank. With other donations improvements were made to the hall. The past is being celebrated with guest speaker Dr. Sandra Campbell, author of ‘Both Hands: A Life of Lorne Pierce of Ryerson Press’. Dr. Campbell will talk about the life of Lorne Pierce and his family who were prominent members of the community and the Methodist/United Church in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Copies of the book will be for sale and signed by the author.

New outlook, strong faith has given Lombardy man new lease on life By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Community – Caleb Robson’s positive attitude has made all the difference in his journey over the past few years. So has his faith.

The 52-year-old Lombardy man recently received a new kidney from his younger sister, Jodi, and he’s been chosen as this year’s Kidney Foundation ambassador. “She’ll do anything to get under my skin,” Robson said

with a laugh. “That’s my little sister.” Despite some medical setbacks – which Robson calls “little bumps” in the road – he says he’s chosen to look at the brighter side of things. The once-active, 270-pound

man, who played hockey and many other sports, faithfully, but admitted his diet was a little too much on the fast-food side, dropped nearly 100 pounds on the road to a new kidney. Prior to his kidney operation, he had to go through a series of surgeries to remove various organs where tumors were growing. A tumor was found on his pancreas in 2009, so out came his spleen and part of his pancreas. In 2011, he was diagnosed with diabetes, forcing him to take a look at his life and get into a healthy eating/ exercise routine. In short order, he’d dropped a significant amount of weight, all the while still ingesting medicinal cocktails to manage his creatinine level. “I look at all the labels now,” he said of his food. “It’s something I can’t take lightly.” But his kidneys were still failing, and even more so by the beginning of 2012 when he had to start dialysis. Working an early shift at his job at Kia, Smiths Falls, where he is the parts manager, Robson was able to drive himself to Kingston for dialysis which took about six hours: four hours on dialysis and two hours of driving time. “It made for really long days,” he said. Then he was transferred to

the Perth and District Smiths Falls Hospital’s dialysis unit, where he met his new team of nurses and fellow patients, who became his friends and extended family. “I can’t say enough about Debbie Hamilton (head dialysis nurse) and the girls – Darlene, Debbie, Shelley and Shelley, and Cindy… they’re all just amazing and very knowledgeable about diet and how to control fluid intake. Any questions I had, they were great to answer.” Early this year, Robson had part of his stomach and colon removed because doctors found another tumour. He was diagnosed with cancer, a prognosis he lived with for about three months. “It gets better,” he said, still smiling, as he related his story. “I was supposed to get my kidney – my sister was tested and she was the first one too, and everything was good to go. Then the doctors told me I had cancer. So I had to wait to see how I going to go through treatment for that.” That was in May this year… in June, he was told the growth that was removed from his stomach – along with part of his stomach, colon and now, gallbladder due to gallstone attacks he was suffering – was benign.

“We thought I had cancer,” he said. “But it turned out it wasn’t, so the kidney surgery could go ahead.” The transplant happened in an Ottawa hospital on June 27. His sister was in hospital for five days, Robson for six days. But all is not yet rosy, in fact, Robson, despite his jovial outlook on life, has to be cautious of disease due to his compromised immune system. “I have a surgical mask I need to wear in public so I don’t get sick,” he said. “I carry Purel (hand sanitizer) with me, but what else can I do but stay positive?” Not only has he been under medical stress, but there has been stress at home too. “We’ve had some financial difficulty, and had to put our house up for sale,” he said. It’s a home that he built for his family of five: his wife, Susan; daughter Ashley, and sons Jacob and Connor. “My wife is not too happy that we have to sell,” he said. “But that’s not the important thing. A house is just a house… home is where we make it.” Kidney foundation On Sunday, Sept. 29, the Perth community will be hosting the fourth annual kidney See KIDNEY page 4 R0012311575_0926

New United Counties housing and homelessness plan approved ognized for service Warden Ron Holman and council congratulated Township of Athens mayor Herb Scott Sept. 19 for receiving a long-service award at the Eastern Ontario Municipal Conference in Kingston last week. Scott was recognized for his 25-plus years of service to his community. Scott has served in municipal politics since 1982 when he was first elected as councillor for the Township of Rear of Yonge and Escott. Sitting council members encouraged him to run. He was elected reeve of Rear of Yonge and Escott in 1992. In 2001, following the amalgamation of municipalities, Scott became mayor of the Township of Athens. He would later serve as a councillor for the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley before being re-elected as mayor in Athens in 2010. “I still enjoy the job,� Scott said, adding his interest is having the township and Counties running smoothly. Scott attended the counties council meeting despite experiencing a large barn fire at his Athens family farm overnight. The barn was destroyed along with thousands of bales of hay and straw. Fortunately the family’s Holstein herd was not in the structure at the time. The Scott family has been farming in the Athens area Athens mayor Herb Scott rec- since 1950.

News – The following are highlights of the regular United Counties of Leeds and Grenville Council Meeting held Sept. 19 and the Joint Services Committee of Leeds and Grenville on Sept. 18. The Joint Services Committee of Leeds and Grenville has approved a housing and homelessness plan which will now be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) for review. The Housing Services Act of 2011 requires a 10-year plan. Deborah Gill, Leeds and Grenville’s manager of housing, and a working group spend the last 18 months developing a plan for Leeds and Grenville. The group worked in consultation with the Housing Services Corporation, the Ontario Municipal Social Services Association, and the Ministry. Three main goals have been identified. They include maintaining the current affordable services and housing, enhancing services to reflect the changing needs of the community and, thirdly, involving all stakeholders in the development and implementation of the housing plan. The ministry’s review process takes 90 days. Leeds Grenville staff will then review recommendations from the ministry early in 2014.

The operational plan for each site describes the activities, personnel, policy and procedure, and responsibilities associated with operating and managing the well water system. Except for system-specific diagrams for each site, the plans and supporting procedures are the same. Under the Quality Management System there are required internal and externals audits, a risk assessment of the waterworks, an emergency testing exercise, and infrastructure and management reviews. A financial plan mandated by the Safe Drinking Water Act has also been completed. Both plans will be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Monitoring and compliance activities are already in place and are funded through the Community and Social Services budget. Miller Manor and The Maples are the only two properties within the Leeds Grenville public housing portfolio which have drinking water systems falling under the Drinking Water Quality Management Standard and developed by the Ministry of the Environment and Ontario’s water sector.

walk, starting from Crystal Palace, with registration at 9:45 a.m. In the past three years, this event has raised $28,000, said Bruce Hill, senior development manager with the Kidney Foundation of Canada, who looks after this area from his Ottawa office. Money raised from this event goes into the national research fund, but locally, there are many programs and initiatives that are taking place, like a fun day, hosted in the spring at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club where 85 people were in attendance. “If we can bring a smile to someone’s face, then it was worth it,� Hill said. “Hosting

events where dialysis dependent people can have a little fun, dance, socialize, that’s a big thing.� He also added that education is one of the top priorities, which includes alking to people about their personal history, family history, diets (which if kidney disease is prevalent, then a low sodium/salt/potassium diet is followed) and exercise. “Stats are pretty significant. One in 10 people have kidney disease and may not even know it.� For instance, in Smiths Falls with a population of about 9,000 people, 900 of whom could have kidney disease. In Perth, where there are about 6,000 people living, another

600 people may have kidney disease. That’s 1,500 people just in Perth and Smiths Falls alone. “There are five stages of kidney disease and the first four are silent,� Hill said. “You don’t know you have it until, bang, you’re on dialysis and your life has changed forever.� The easiest way to see is through a blood test. “The next time you’re at your doctor, ask him to check your kidney function. It’s a simple blood test,� Hill said, whose own father succumbed to kidney disease. People with diabetes are more susceptible to kidney disease, and people who have had a transplant are more susceptible to cancer, he said.

Take Back the Night march continues plight to end violence against women Community – Bridge Street in Carleton Place was an uplifting scene on the evening of Sept. 19 when dozens of local residents and politicians came together to put a stop to violence against women. The occasion was Lanark County Interval House’s (LCIH) seventh annual Take Back the Night march, which began in the park behind the Carleton Place Town Hall with a special ceremony to empower women who are victims of harassment, sexual abuse and assault. LCIH provides residential and shelter programs as well as outreach services and transitional support to women and children throughout Lanark County who are the victims of violence. Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc welcomed those gathered and remarked how she wished this event wasn’t needed in the community. “We’re here to take back the night and I wish that wasn’t the case. I wish that there wasn’t any (of these events) and we didn’t have to take back the night,� she stated. She noted that Carleton Place is a safe community with strong police and protective services “yet why is it that women, and maybe men as well, feel uncomfortable walking the streets at night?� “As the mayor, I should feel safe and somehow it’s engrained in me to walk quickly or look over my shoulder,� LeBlanc continued, adding that getting the message out that this is a safe community is about events such as Take Back the Night. Other local politicians on hand during the evening were Carleton Place councillors Doug Black and Jerry Flynn, Beckwith deputy reeve Sharon Mousseau, Beckwith councillor Brian Dowdall, as well as Montague Township reeve and Lanark County warden, Bill Dobson. “Victimization against women must stop. It is a public health problem and a human rights issue, he said, urging people to step up and do their part to end the violence. “...If you see an incident, report it and make sure these incidents

are documented. We must change our environment to make our society equal for all genders.� Dobson said every member of the community has an obligation to “do our part to slow this process down and try to stop it.� He also commended LCIH for the work they continue to do. “This is an emergency like any other emergency service and I appreciate the hard work that Interval House does,� Dobson stated. Victim’s words Providing a poignant moment prior to the start of the march, Tracy Kwissa, spoke to the audience about the experience of her daughter, Emily, who was unable to attend the event as she is away at college. Emily was sexually abused by her stepfather at a young age and has written a memoir, Am I Not. “...She’s (Emily) still very young at only 20-years-old but has lived and her story is not for the faint of heart,� Tracy said. “Her stepfather began abusing her at three and before she was six-yearsold he raped her.� On July 20, 2004, what Tracy calls her “Independence Day,� she and her family packed up a few belongings and three dogs and left Colorado and her exhusband. She said the legal battle didn’t end there and continues today. It has cost her thousands of dollars and “left us financially and emotionally bankrupt.� The latest setback came recently when www.lulu.com, which had published I Am Not online, took it down after Tracy’s ex-husband claimed the book was full of lies. “Lulu gave up supporting other’s free speech and sided with an abuser,� she commented. “They’ve given power to the abuser over the victim.� “It’s a shame and another example of injustice in our community,� noted LCIH executive director Erin Lee-Todd. Tracy said this issue generated a lot of media and since then, I Am Not is back in print. She acknowledged the support of LCIH over the last 10 years since moving to the area. “...Without them (LCIH), the battle to be free of our abuser would not have

been a victory,” she said. Tracy then read a statement provided by Emily, who said the cycle of sexual abuse needs to end. “We’re taught not to wear short skirts, low-cut shirts, tight jeans and not to wear our hair in ponytails because people can grab it and also not to wear it down because it can be seen as sexual,” Emily wrote. “...We’re told all of this when most sexual assaults aren’t committed by strangers...The night does not belong to us, we are strangers in the night. We need to take back our bodies and our place in it.” “Children should be able to go to bed without fearing the monster that lies, not in the closet, but outside their bedroom doors,” Emily continued. “Tonight, we do together what we’re too afraid to do alone...we are taking back the streets we have always been told were dangerous.” Lee-Todd thanked people for attending the event, despite the fact that each year she hopes LCIH doesn’t have to hold the march. She said the organization will continue its work to speak up for victims such as 27-year-old Amy Paul, who was found dead in an Osgoode field last week. “She was a sex worker. There was no press release about her missing...,” she

stated. “...We’re human beings first and Amy Paul deserves respect the same as everyone else, whether she was a sex worker or not.” The same week Paul’s body was found, the Fallowfield train/bus tragedy also occurred and while Lee-Todd acknowledged the loss from that incident, “in a week from now, will we still be hearing about the bus accident, which was horrible and horrific? But do you think we’ll hear about Amy Paul? Think about that and what you’re going to do to make a difference.” As Lee-Todd conducted a vigil and read names of women who lost their lives to due to violence, members of the crowd placed a rose in the Mississippi River to honour them. A rose was also cast into the water for Paul. “Today that woman was Amy but tomorrow it could be me. Tomorrow it could be any of you,” she said. “It’s important to remember and reflect. It’s important to honour these women as we walk the street.” The LCIH shelter remains full with a large waiting list, but Lee-Todd said that keeps her striving towards ending violence against women. She acknowledged the valuable partnerships LCIH has with the Ontario Provincial Police, local municipalities, as well as LGBT Lanark County, the HIV/AIDS Regional

Service and the Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence advisory, which have strengthened the organization. “I want to assure you that despite what’s happening in this horrible world that tries to divide us, LCIH is standing strong...we’re going to be solid and we’re going to move on,” she continued. “There is nothing that’s going to stop us in this community from ending violence against women. We will not be silent. We will continue to take these risks for the flowers floating in the water and for those women I see tonight who I haven’t seen in ages and it’s so good to see.” In the end, Lee-Todd issued a challenge to the community. If someone sees an incident taking place, report it and stand up to violence. “Challenge yourself and your neighbours, because if you don’t challenge someone, we’ll keep putting flowers in the water,” she concluded. Armed with special Take Back the Night cowbells, courtesy of gift bags provided by the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO) Occasional Local, residents then took to the streets in a united chant. The group marched down Bridge Street from the town hall before turning around and ending back at Read’s Book Shop. For more information on LCIH, visit www.lcih.org.

Eight weeks remaining in annual Canadian Aid for Chernobyl Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign News – The countdown is on‌ there’s only eight weeks remaining in the Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville and Kingston areas. Currently, 250 boxes are packed and ready to go. Campaign coordinator, Colleen Gray, is anticipating another 300 to 500 boxes will arrive at the drop off locations over the next two months. Gray stated that “typically we see a huge influx of filled boxes as well as bags of items arriving in the last two months of the campaign.â€? The Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign is in its 11th year of service to seniors living in Chernobyl. The program, which operates under Canadian Aid for Chernobyl, provides basic hygiene items, small house-

hold items and a large dose of kindness to the neediest individuals. The seniors receiving these care packages live very lonely and isolated lives in a state of poverty. The shoeboxes are hand-delivered to seniors on occasions such as birthdays, Seniors’ Day, Invalid’s Day, Veteran’s Day and special anniversaries. They not only provide basic care items but bring home and joy into their lives. Participants may fill a shoebox or drop off essential hygiene items (toothbrushes, toothpaste, hand and body cream, deodorant, combs, brushes, hand soap, shampoo, razors, etc.), at any of the locations. Individuals are encouraged to fill just one box and together the goal can be reached.

Shoeboxes will be shipped to Chernobyl for distribution in early spring 2014. Drop off locations are: LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark’s office (Brockville); Community Home Support Lanark County (Smiths Falls and Perth); Kemptville and District Home Support Inc. (Kemptville); and any Community & Primary Health Care (CPHC) office. Tax receipts will be issued for those who include their name, address and the original receipt(s). Campaign completion date is Oct. 31, however donations of filled boxes, miscellaneous items and cash donations are also accepted throughout the year. Submitted by the Canadian Aid for Chernobyl Shoeboxes for Seniors campaign.

The workshop attracts dozens of lake associations and other volunteer stewardship groups from eastern Ontario as well as numerous government and non-government agencies. Special thanks goes out to the Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations for their continued generous support of this event. Please

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Conservative energy plan doesn’t make sense DEAR EDITOR: In his article on energy policy in the EMC Sept. 19, the Conservative MPP from Leeds- Grenville tells us to see the Tories affordable energy plan in their website. The so-called plan is not only not affordable, it does not make sense. First of all, everybody knows that the cheapest and fastest way to produce energy is through conservation and there is not one word about conservation in their program. Secondly, the Tories state that nuclear will be the key future source of Ontario’s basic energy supply. However, they want people to have a choice in their electricity

suppliers so we will all check off who our supplier will be when we receive our electricity bill. No nuclear company would spend billions of dollars building nuclear plants when it knows that nuclear power will be more expensive than renewable energy and there would be no customers for its power. This would mean that, under a Tory government, there would be electricity shortages and we would be at the mercy of other jurisdictions when we would have to purchase power from them.

COMMENTARY Find the stars in your community Editorials – On a regular basis, this newspaper profiles the positive contributions youth are making in the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville area and it’s time for those actions to be showcased on a broader scale. It’s time once again to consider nominating a deserving youth for the 2013 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award, offered annually by the Ontario Community Newspaper Association (OCNA), of which this newspaper is a member, and sponsored by Direct Energy and TD Bank Group. One doesn’t have to look far to see youth impacting their communities in inspiring ways. Take a look on the sports field, students helping out others in school or at church. Any resident of Ontario, aged six to 17 (who is six but no older than 17 by Nov. 30, 2013) can be nominated in four different categories, including: those involved in a worthwhile service; a young person who contributes to their community while living with a physical or psychological limitation; kids who go above and beyond to make life better for others over and above what would normally be expected of them; and an individual who has done a heroic act over the past year. According to the OCNA, up to 12 nominees will be chosen with the final recipients of the provincial award to appear at a gala in spring 2014. Help us pay tribute to the youth who will shape our communities into the future. Youth nominated for the honour will be personally presented with a certificate of recognitions and their contributions will be showcased in this newspaper. The deadline for nominations is Nov. 30. Forms are available online at www.ocna.org/juniorcitizen or by calling the OCNA at 905-639-8720 ext. 221.

Scratch proved her worth as a house cat on the farm Lifestyle – As far as Mother was concerned, there were no “ifs, ands, or buts” about it when it came to having pets in the house. They belonged in the barn, and that’s all there was to it. The barn cats had litters, it seemed to me back then, every time the weather changed. And every time a new batch of kittens came on the scene, I begged Mother to let me keep at least one in the house for a pet. I promised I would look after it. It would never wander through the rooms, and I would feed it myself, so there would be no spots on the kitchen floor, which Mother kept as clean as a whistle. “No cats in the house” she would say again! And so I would have to play with them in the barns, where they were allowed to wander freely, some in the cow byre, some in the stable, and often one or two in where Father kept the sheep. I would make sure they all had fresh milk every day, and of course, I gave

them all names. My brother Emerson said giving barn cats names was just about the craziest idea he ever heard of...especially when there were so many. I paid him no heed! They came in all colours, but mostly they were grey or black with white spots. And then one batch produced one that was golden brown with white around its neck, and a pure white tail. Emerson said it looked like its mother had been scared by a fox, whatever that meant. To me, it was the most beautiful kitten I had ever seen. But it didn’t look like its mother had much love for it. To me it always seemed to be pushed aside, and away from the other kittens. And it got thinner and thinner. Emerson said it wasn’t long for this world, and the best thing that could happen to it was to put it in a grain sack and take to the Bonnechere! Needless to say that sent me into fits of crying and I begged Mother to let me keep it in the house until it had grown a bit.

knit an extra dishcloth without being asked, a task I likened to cleaning the outhouse! Finally, Mother relented. It would have to be kept in a box at night. I would have to take it outside to “do its business”, and it would only be in the house until it was able to fend for itself out in the barn. I was so happy, and that night I printed in my diary that for the first time ever, I was allowed to have a baby kitten in the house! I called it Scratch...because it loved to scratch on the side of the cardboard box which was its home through the night. And it grew and flourished. How Scratch grew! And every day Mother would warn me

that soon it would have to join the other cats in the barn. The litter was born early in the fall, and as the nights got colder, I was eternally grateful that Scratch was in a warm spot to sleep. Just before I went to bed every night I took Scratch outside and then put her into the cardboard box. She was growing so fast with my tender love and care that soon she would outgrow her night bed. And then one morning, even before I was out of bed, I heard Mother let a scream out of her that I was sure could be heard across the 20acre field. I tore downstairs, not knowing what to expect. And there was Scratch, sound asleep outside the box, and beside her, half mutilated, were two very dead mice! Now, if there was anything Mother hated more than the common house fly or pet animals in the house, it was a mouse! She was sure they carried germs. It wasn’t so much that she was afraid of them; it was just that she thought they

were just about the dirtiest critters on earth! And there was little hope of keeping them out of the house, in spite of the countless traps spaced around the floor. Well, it was obvious how the mice had come to meet their maker. Scratch had done them in, that was obvious. And that’s what changed Mother’s mind about having a pet in the house! Scratch, as long as she was ‘earning her keep’ was allowed to spend the nights in the cardboard box in the kitchen. She spent most of the winter there, that year. But the day came when Scratch herself wanted to be out in the barns. She had grown full size, and remained the only cat with the odd colouring, and she sneaked around unheard and ignored the other cats completely. And when I saw that she much preferred the hen house over the cow byre, I wondered if there was more truth than poetry to what Emerson claimed...maybe there was a bit of fox-blood running through her veins. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

Temple’s Sugar Bush hosts hypnotist show and dance Oct. 25

Among the advantages of quads are their cargo-towing capacity and the fact that they tend to be lighter weight and more agile than UTVs, which translates into less of an impact on lawns and other terrain. ATVs are also generally less expensive than UTVs. Their limitations however, lie in the fact that most are intended for one driver, though two-person models are available, and that they provide limited space for carrying cargo.

If you’re looking for a vehicle for a specific task, UTVs are a good choice because of the large number of implements and attachments available.

Also known as quads, they come in 2WD and 4WD models, and offer a range of options including electronic power steering (EPS), front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, and electronic fuel injection (EFI), to name a few.

REGIONAL NEWS

Community bands together for teen left paralyzed following car accident Community – A recent accident involving a young man who resides in the community of Seeley’s Bay has impacted many and reminds us how quickly life can throw us a curve ball and the importance of banding together and helping those in need. Zach Elliott had just turned 18 and was graduating from Rideau District High School with a dream of becoming a commercial pilot, and on June 13, he was involved in a tragic car accident and has been left paralyzed from the waist down. There will be a community event on Oct. 12 where a dance, complete with a live and silent auction will take place to help raise funds needed to help Elliott and his family on his road to recovery. Elliott is well known in the area. To many he may only be known as the extremely tall, polite, young lad with a big smile who has worked behind the meat counter at the local store for the last three years. However there is so much more to Elliott. He was an honor student at Rideau District High School in Elgin, he had a love for music early on and played the drums and guitar in a band with several other local young lads from high school. His

Zach Elliott love for music was carried on when he joined the Shiloh Church and started playing at services. But for those of us that know him best it was his sense of family, and his love of flying that he learned from his grandfather. Before getting his driver’s license at age 16, Elliott had already accomplished something that many of us would never be able to do; he clocked enough flying hours and got his recreational pilot’s license. Then in April, 2013, while still 17-years-old, he obtained his private pilot’s license. Prior to the accident he had just started working at the Kingston Airport as the line crew and he had done some aerial photography for the Kingston Fun Flyers.

Elliott is a determined young man and an inspiration for many, his faith keeps him strong and he hopes if possible to be the first paraplegic commercial pilot in Canada. The community of Seeley’s Bay wants to stand behind this young man and help reach his goal. Currently Elliott is in Saint Mary’s of the Lake rehabilitation hospital in Kingston and will be faced with months of hard work before being able to come home and regain his life. He and his family will require assistance with this and our goal as a community is to help offset any additional costs the Elliotts will have. Organizers of the event are asking local businesses, and community members for your support to help make this event a success, donations of new auction able items/services or cash will help make this happen. Donations for this event can be given to any member of the organizing committee and should be made by Oct. 5. For more information or to make a donation email Jan Holland at holland@bell. net or call 613-387-3750 or Nicole Peters at petersn@ outlook.com or call 613-9290042. Submitted by the organizing committee.

Canadian Cancer Society introduces $100 cost for transportation service News – To meet the challenge of growing demand and rising costs, the Canadian Cancer Society will begin charging a $100 registration fee for new patients in Ontario who register with the Society’s transportation service after Oct. 1. Since the 1950s, the Society has provided transportation to patients in Ontario who have no other way of getting to cancer treatment. The one-time registration fee will apply to new patients only and will help ensure the Society is able to continue helping patients with rides. The decision was made based on the changing landscape of cancer. Ontario’s population is growing and aging, which means that the number of new cancer cases continues to rise and with it, the number of patients needing help to get to treatment. The price of gas and other costs have risen significantly over the years while the need for transportation grows. “The Canadian Cancer Society is committed to providing transportation but the service is expensive — we spend more than $6 million a year on the program and we’ve seen almost a 20 per cent increase in the number of patients needing rides in one year alone,” says

Tanya Nixon, Senior Manager, Transportation, Canadian Cancer Society. “This was a difficult but necessary decision to ensure the future of our transportation service so that we can continue to help cancer patients get to treatment.” “More people than ever need our transportation service,” says Nixon. “In addition, we are challenged by an environment in which resources have become scarce both in terms of fundraising and volunteer recruitment. Like all charities, we must make our dollars go further.” John Buchan of Penetanguishene is a volunteer driver who has been driving patients from all over Simcoe County to and from appointments in Toronto, Barrie, Orillia and elsewhere for 10 years. “Cancer patients and their families are already dealing with a lot of stress without worrying how they’re going to get to and from their treatments. As a driver, I know how vital this program is for helping patients who have no other way to get to appointments,” says Buchan, who is also a member of the Society’s provincial Transportation Steering Committee. “I support this registration fee because it means we’ll be able

to continue helping cancer patients with rides now and in the future.” The transportation service is offered province-wide and meets the needs of all kinds of patients who have any type of cancer and a range of treatment needs of varying duration. Some patients have no access to public transit and no other means of getting to treatment and many find the cost of alternative transportation, such as taxis, and parking prohibitive. Typically, a registered patient uses the Society’s transportation service 10 to 17 times on one-way trips during the course of their treatment. New patients who may face financial hardship may be eligible for assistance through our compassionate program. The Society is committed to ensuring that no patient is denied a ride due to their inability to pay the entire registration fee. Last year volunteer drivers helped 15,500 patients in Ontario and drove more than 12 million kilometres, a distance that is equivalent to driving around the world almost 300 times. For more information about the change to the transportation program, visit Frequently Asked Questions on cancer.ca.

Tips to effectively close up cottage for the season Housing starts for August up slightly over last year Lifestyle – When it comes to closing up the cottage, every cottage owner has their own checklist and methods but it’s useful to review some best practises and perhaps add a few additional tasks to your to-do list to make sure that next spring, there aren’t any unwelcome surprises. In Canada, the top causes of cottage damage are wind and water. Fortunately, the risk of damage can be reduced by taking a few simple steps at the end of the season. “There are a few main areas to focus on when closing up the cottage before an Ontario winter hits,” says Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association. “By tailoring your to-do list to take care of the most important areas first, you will be well on your way to ensuring a smooth winter and an easier time, come spring,” adds Dorner. Here are the most important tasks to take care of at the cottage this fall: • Drain the pipes: Make sure all water is removed by opening all taps

and valves. If your cottage is not winterized, the Canada Safety Council recommends filling supply pipes with non-toxic anti-freeze and wrapping pipes at key junction points to help protect against the cold. • Inspect your roof: A leaky roof can cause a lot of water-damage. Replace any missing or broken shingles. Make sure trees are trimmed so that wind and snow do not cause them to damage your cottage. • Electricity: If shutting the electricity off completely, Hydro One recommends turning off all appliances, the water heater and electrical room heaters before turning off the main switch at the electrical panel. If leaving your electricity on (for a security system or lighting) turn off the power supply to your major appliances at your main panel and shut off the power to any space heaters. • Fireplace and woodstove: Make sure your fireplace damper is closed to prevent animals from getting in. Block off the flues, stovepipes and chimneys. Chimneys from fireplaces

or woodstoves should be professionally checked to ensure they don’t have hazardous amounts of creosote. • Empty refrigerator and cupboards: Clean and defrost the fridge, leaving the door open to keep it fresh. Pack up the cupboards, including dry food and canned goods. • Walk through: Make sure that all utilities and appliances are unplugged and any potential fire hazards are removed (old newspapers, chemicals, etc.)

“Once you’ve taken care of the most important tasks, you will be able to turn your attention to the remaining cleaning and packing up, and of course the final goodbye,” says Dorner. If possible, have a neighbour or friend check up on your place periodically throughout the winter, this will provide some additional peace of mind. Submitted by the Ontario Real Estate Association.

Lifestyle – Housing starts in the Ontario region were trending at 59,187 units in August, compared to 58,292 in July, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates of housing starts. “The trend in Ontario new home construction edged higher for a second consecutive month in Ontario – stabilizing in the 55,000 to 60,000 SAAR starts range in recent months. Stability in resale market conditions very early this year combined with a gradual improvement in the job market has halted the slide in residential starts witnessed between the spring of last year and spring of 2013,” said Ted Tsiakopoulos, CMHC’s Ontario regional economist. CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some sit-

uations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 67,767 units in August, up from 59,372 units in July. Row and backlog of apartment units breaking ground boosted activity while single and semi detached construction eased in August. Growth in construction was broad based with communities in and outside of the greater Toronto area posting increases. For the year ending August, Ontario urban starts are down 26 per cent from this time last year. As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable housing solutions.

was seven and his father later married Ruth Crawford Seeger, a now recognized, notable modernist composer and also a lover of folk music. Music was a staple in the Seeger home as Pete’s four stepsiblings from his father’s second marriage all went on to also become folk musicians including Peggy, who was married for many years to British folk singer/activist Ewan MacColl (writer of ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’). Pete’s stepbrother Mike Seeger went on to form the New Lost City Ramblers. From these early musical beginnings Pete first learned the ukelele by himself and began entertaining community and his classmates with popular songs of the day and traditional folk tunes. In 1936, Pete, while travelling with his father and stepmother chanced on the Mountain Dance & Folk Festival outside Asheville, North Carolina where he heard the five-string banjo for the first time and the family later acknowledged this time as their “conversion experience” to folk styles of music. It was here Seeger apparently first picked up his early beginnings of learning the five-string banjo from festival organizer Bascom Lunsford and, in the fall, taking one with him when he headed off to Harvard on a scholarship. That banjo would become often his instrument of choice later, wherever he played; so often for little money, at rallies, community meetings, across the country for one of his many admirable causes. By 1948, he’d developed his own banjo that had an extra long neck, longer than a bass guitar by three frets which would become known as the Seeger banjo. It wasn’t until the late ‘50s that he started accompanying himself with the 12-string guitar. Pete’s skilled himself in the conscientious use of music to empower, encourage, enlighten and remind us of our past. We must remember he became quite involved in folk music at a time when folk music found a voice within politics, especially around the ideology – exploring university campuses. Pete gradually became active, joining the Young Communist League prior to the Second World War. His marks suffering, he lost his scholarship, dropping out in 1938. He’d developed a real knack for performing with that ukelele which he further polished via a summer job touring New York State with the Vagabond Puppeteers. Through the summer’s travel, shared meals and ongoing discussions with the rural families they’d play for, Pete’s commitment to activism was further nurtured, recognizing and learning to exploit his gifts of utilizing music in creative ways to promote solidarity as a mighty power for the common man, whether through unions, ra-

cial equality marches, parades or anti-war activities; organizing to bring about equality. Through his father’s contact he got a job in Washington, DC with Alan Lomax who was assistant in charge of the Archive of American Folk Song for the Library of Congress. Lomax had previously travelled with his father John Lomax, taking some primitive recording equipment into the fields and across the country to record what were then called “race” and “hillbilly” types of music for archive purposes. Now known as the ‘Field Recordings’ they brought musicians like Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, and Jelly Roll Morton to the American public, many becoming great blues, jazz and folk players of their country. Alan had a radio show ‘Back Where I Come From’ and encouraged Pete to perform, joining musicians like Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie, Burl Ives and Josh White in the then unique, racially integrated cast. This was during the Second World War. Their show once performed a command performance at the White House in 1941, arranged by Eleanor Roosevelt, entitled ‘An Evening of Songs for American Soldiers’. Hard to believe today but, due to the integrated cast it was not aired nationally. Pete’s activism further evolved into The Almanac Singers, which Seeger co-founded in 1941 with Millard Lampell and Arkansas singer and activist Lee Hays. They were a topical group, designed to function as a singing newspaper, promoting the industrial unionization movement, racial and religious inclusion as well as other progressive causes. Its personnel included, at various times: Woody Guthrie, Bess Lomax Hawes, Sis Cunningham, Josh White and Sam Gary. As a controversial Almanac singer, the 21-year-old Seeger performed under the stage name Pete Bowers to avoid compromising his father’s government career. Due to their political leanings, the Almanac Singers were eventually blacklisted and through fear of retribution, presenters refused to hire them. Pete took to the rails for a while with Woody Guthrie, learning firsthand the plight of the migrant workers in California and the south where he lent his musical support wherever possible and has continued to do so, ever since. Pete was in the US Army first as an aircraft mechanic and later as performer for the troops. In 1950 the Almanac Singers were reformed as The Weavers and had a string of hits on the popular hit parade such as ‘On Top of Old Smokey’ – a Lead Belly song, ‘Goodnight Irene’, which was 13 weeks at number one, ‘So Long, Been Good to Know You’ (Woody Guthrie), ‘Kisses Sweeter Than

Wine’ and ‘Wimoweh’, to name a few. They were playing the best halls and clubs until 1953 when they were blacklisted, due to the infamous MacCarthy era. A reunion was chanced in 1955 to what turned out to be a sold-out performance at Carnegie Hall and a tour where concerts were recorded and large sales realized. Pete says he broke company with The Weavers because the rest were willing to sign with a tobacco sponsor and out of principle, Pete refused. I could go on for days with various stories about this remarkable man. He built his family’s own log home in the woods of upper New York State and for quite a long time had no hydro, running water or phone...an early hippy. He reemerged in the ‘60s as a protest singer, utilizing his songs such as ‘Where Have All the Flowers Gone’ or ‘If I Had a Hammer’, these songs copied and made famous by many other musicians. He was seen in the movie of 2007 still cutting and splitting his own firewood. He acknowledges it was only his wife’s ongoing support that allowed him to carry on. His activism has not stopped. He was a long time supporter and promoter of the now successful clean up of the Hudson River called the Clearwater Project. Through a long range vision of utilizing a large sailing ship that would sail up and down the Hudson, teach students, fundraise, they connected enough caring people to make enough noise to cause congress to pass laws, all for the importance of clean water. In the film, he explains his changing the word ‘will’ from the original spiritual to the more sing-able ‘shall’ in one of his most heard songs, ‘We Shall Overcome’. The power of song carries on and at 94, Pete’s still getting his message out there. In October 2011, he helped with an Occupy Wall Street march. This Grammy Award winner just keeps going.

Lifestyle – I just got back from visiting my folks, just outside Orillia. They’re 88 years young now and still able to help one another live in their own home so I try to get over to spend a few days with them each month to hopefully brighten their day, take them where they need to go and share those family stories you never quite got around to before. We are blessed to have my sister Jan and family living close to them to provide lots of support. This article was hatched there as my Dad usually has some favourite music on and one day it was a wonderful CD my brother Drew had compiled for them of Pete Seeger music. It reminded me of the many stories I’d read of Seeger over the years and the tremendous respect I’d developed for this principled, ‘Renaissance’ man – musician, songwriter, activist, now 94, widowed this summer, losing Toshi after 70 years of marriage. Again, thanks to our family musicologist, my brother Drew, my folks and I pulled out and watched a wonderful DVD called ‘Pete Seeger – The Power of Song’ (2007) which Drew had given copies to both them and myself last Christmas. It was my second time through it and I’ll continue to pull it out and watch every once in a while because of the clips of him at so many monumental events in time leading a crowd to sing. Woody Guthrie’s son, Arlo Guthrie quips somewhere, how gifted Pete is in the way he can lead an audience to sing along with him. I cannot recommend it enough and thought I’d share a bit about this remarkable man. Pete Seeger personifies of the power of song. Pete Seeger was born May 3, 1919 in New York into a musical family. His father was a Harvard grad, a musicologist who, in 1912, developed the first music program at University of California, in Berkeley and his mother was a concert violinist who later taught at Juilliard. When Pete was 18-months-old his parents and two older brothers headed out in a homemade trailer caravan type vehicle to “bring musical uplift to the working people in the American South”. Their pretentious intention was to present classical music throughout the south but within a short time on the road his father was introduced to and became enthralled with the local Americana music played in the hills on banjos, guitars, fiddles and jugs, a far cry from their classical roots. The elder Seeger later went on to work to help shape the Archives of Folk Music in Washington DC. It’s hard to believe, in our current time of political apathy there was a time when people gathered, discussed, argued, debated and marched for the issues of the day. We take for granted what principles of equal opportunity, racial equality, peace and freedoms were fought for within his (and my) lifetime. Hard to believe today that Pete’s father would be forced to leave his employ at the University of California for being a Pacifist, during the First World War. We’ve come a long way...or have we? His parents divorced when he

Athletes’ pay continues to soar into the stratosphere alleged use of performance enhancing drugs. He won’t be paid for the period of his suspension, should it be upheld by an independent arbitrator. The appeal hearing is scheduled to begin Sept. 30. Yes, money and top-flight athletes go hand in hand and that is a major topic of discussion among people today, just as it was when Ruth was busily re-writing the MLB batting record book in the 1920s and ‘30s. For fans of team sports the main focus is the season, the playoff or pennant races and ultimately, hopefully, a championship for their favourite team or teams. I’m a Detroit Tigers’ fan. At this writing the ball club is on the verge of a third straight American League (AL) Central Division championship. I’m hopeful of another strong playoff showing. Tigers rolled to the AL Pennant in 2012 before bombing in the World Series, losing four straight to San Francisco Giants, the National League titlists. The National Hockey League (NHL) campaign is just around the corner – a full season too this time – and locally all eyes are on the Ottawa Senators. Fans are anxious to see how Sens will perform without long-time captain and talisman Daniel Alfredsson? Or at the very least Ottawa fans will be anticipating

the club’s first meeting with the Detroit Red Wings, Alfie’s new team. That comes up Oct. 23 in the Motor City. The clubs are now in the same division and will face-off four times during the campaign. Despite the fact fans like me enjoy following their team(s) day-to-day throughout the various seasons it is difficult for most of us to relate to what athletes today are being paid. Only a tiny fraction of people ever achieve such riches! Salaries incredible Being paid so handsomely to play a game doesn’t compute for most of us. But clearly it does when the various leagues and their member teams consider the bottom line, which is making money. Because I’m a Tigers’ fan I will focus on them as one good example of massive player salaries. In 2008 slugger Miguel Cabrera inked what was then the richest contract in team history,

an eight-year $153m pact. Certainly if anyone warrants that kind of money, Cabrera does. At age 30 he has quickly overtaken the biggest run producers in MLB history. Last year the Detroit third baseman won the “Triple Crown� which goes to a player who combines the highest batting average with the most home runs and the highest runs batted in total. His award was the first in 45 years. The previous Major Leaguer to achieve the rare honour was former Boston Red Sox star Carl Yastrzemski in 1967, Canada’s Centennial Year. Not surprisingly, with two years left in his current deal, Tigers’ brass has already begun talks with the Venezuelan-born Cabrera about a contract extension. Cabrera isn’t the highest paid player on the Detroit roster however. Far from it in fact! Power hitter Prince Fielder set

a new team record in January 2012 when he inked a nine-year, $214m deal. Fielder, son of former Toronto Blue Jays’ slugger Cecil Fielder, has played well although his home run production has tailed off. The distinction of the largest contract for a pitcher in MLB history belongs to current Tigers’ ace Justin Verlander. He agreed (who wouldn’t) to a seven-year, $180m contract prior to this season. Verlander, who won the prestigious Cy Young Award and the AL Most Valuable Player in 2011, has struggled somewhat this season however. Tigers’ management and fans feel he is so competitive that he may be over trying in an effort to live up to the hype. But despite being down in victories his overall pitching statistics remain among the best in the AL as this regular season wraps up. The long campaign ends Sunday with the playoffs starting the first week of October. I have not used the term “earned� to describe athletes’ pay. That’s because I don’t believe anyone can really earn such inflated salaries. Still, if there is any sport that can afford to pay such ridiculous amounts to its players, it is revenue rich Major League

Lifestyle – In 1930 baseball legend Babe Ruth was under public scrutiny due to his high salary. After making $70,000 each of the previous three seasons the New York Yankees’ sensation had his pay packet increased by another ten grand. The Great Depression was in full swing at the time and with jobs at a premium people were lining up daily to eat at soup kitchens. Terrible times, so little wonder the American public were envious of ‘The Bambino.’ In today’s terms his 1930 salary would be worth approximately $1.1 million. At the time it was considered “astonishing!� Ruth was never stuck for words and he had a quick response when a reporter asked how he could justify making $80,000 to play baseball when then US President Herbert Hoover was paid $75,000 annually. “I know, but I had a better year than Hoover,� he replied. Today another Yankees’ superstar Alex Rodriguez is taking home a cool $32 million (m) per season. That’s eight times the pay of current American President Barack Obama. Of course A-Rod’s pay cheque may only last as long as his current appeal of a 211 game suspension imposed recently by Major League Baseball (MLB) for his

Still, the highest earning soccer players don’t come close to the best paid athletes in North American sports, unless you include the endorsement deals for a select few such as former English star David Beckham and Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo. The National Football League and National Basketball Association in the U.S. also pay massive money for their top stars. Of course the real beneficiary of the Bale to Madrid arrangement is Tottenham. Sure, they lose a player who won both top awards in the EPL last season. But fearing a Bale exit they signed seven new players in the off season for a combined £115m. The transfer money from Real Madrid basically covers their signing spree. Oh yes, the 100 highest earning athletes in the world (according to Forbes Magazine) include 27 MLB players. Rodriguez at $32 million leads the baseball world. But he’s No. 18 on the overall list. Of the top 10 sports

is the demand for “customization” in today’s society. People are used to a wide variety of choices in every aspect of their lives, posing challenges for both businessmen and educators struggling to meet the needs of clients and students. “You can now go into a coffee shop these days and (instead of a basic coffee) order that half decaf, tall and skinny latté,” she said. “People can also do iPod purchasing where you can buy just the one song you really want. Again you are expecting customization through technology.” The demand for customized solutions is reaching into the school system as well, she said. Parents are now expecting an almost “private-school” level of attention for their children within the public school system, something which cannot be done with available resources. She believes that this is a trend teachers should be aware of as they work to meet

earners, five are Americans. Soccer’s Beckham ($47m) qualifies for the list despite announcing his retirement this past spring. He ranks eighth. The top five are led by golfer Tiger Woods ($78m), followed by tennis star Roger Federer ($71.5m), NBA stars Kobe Bryant ($61.9m) and LeBron James ($59.8m) with New Orleans Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees ($51m) rounding out the select list. The top 100 play 11 different sports with baseball first (27). There are 21 NBA players on the chart, 13 NFLers and 12 soccer stars. A total of 23 countries are represented on the elite roll. Not surprisingly 63 Americans are among the top 100 sports wage earners. Clearly they won’t be holding a tag day for the recently embattled Mr. Woods based on these numbers. All things considered it still totally boggles the mind! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers. com.

People have so much stimulation at their fingertips right now that it is adjusting our expectations and our attitudes about what will engage us,” Buckner added. Educators must adapt instructional approaches to meet this trend. While Buckner readily concedes she is not qualified to tell educators how to incorporate games into the classroom, she will play a video featuring an entrepreneur trying to build a business based on the use of games in the classroom.

This year’s lineup will include artists from as far away as Toronto and Montreal and as close to home as Merrickville, Kemptville, Brockville and Gatineau as well as many from the Ottawa area. While there will be very occasional crossover into other genres of music, MJF can proudly say that it offers almost 100 per cent jazz content.

around 75 mph. I took it in to a local Nissan dealer and they attributed the noise to the tires which had been replaced the year previous but did not make this noise when they were first installed. I had them rebalanced twice to no avail. When I returned to Ottawa, I had the front discs and brakes pads replaced because one disc was warped. This hasn’t cured the front end noise and it still persists and the dealer still blames the tires. I suspect the wheel bearings again as the noise is similar to the previous one. I’ve had other bearing failures on other SUVs and the noise is similar. I’ve also had a four-wheel alignment done with the same result, no change. Any insight would be appreciated.� Peter With regards to fuel mileage, the US’s EPA (the only mileage rating source to use until NRCan gets the Canadian specs in line in 2014) rates your FX35 at 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway (US gallon) so your mileage while lower than it was, is still up to snuff. According to Nissan/Infiniti’s schedules the spark plugs aren’t due for replacement until 168,000 km, but this is a very ambitious projection of how long the platinum tipped plugs will last. I’d recommend having the plugs removed for inspection and having them all replaced if they’re worn. Dirty air filters are the number one non-driver cause of poor fuel mileage. Also, don’t discount the possibility that the fuel you purchased might have changed in formulation between the first and subsequent road-trips. Gasoline producers are adding more and more ethanol (ethyl alcohol) to their fuels with the US feds pushing for more use of E15 blends (15 per cent ethanol) and this can cause a drop in fuel economy. An easy test to distinguish between tire noise and wheel bearing noise is to gently (and safely) swerve the vehicle left and right while driving at lower highway speeds when the noise is noticeable (no wide swings or sudden moves are required). If the noise changes noticeably when swerving to one side or the other, then it’s most likely a front wheel bearing at fault. If not, it could be caused by tires, a rear wheel bearing, or something else. To check the tires you could try having them rotated and then road test the

Lifestyle – “Good Morning, I am a big fan of your articles. I grew up with a father that flipped cars like dimes and my spouse’s hobby is old cars. We were sitting around having coffee the other day and my dad says to the spouse, “Do you think it’s bad for my car if I turn the engine off and then put my van in park?� (Of course he asks the “guy�!) Spouse says no problem, I say problem. So we now have a friendly gentleman’s bet going on and I decided to ask the expert! It would be very much appreciated if you could end this little tiff. If I’m wrong...I’ll take it like a man! Ha ha.� Judi About the only difference it would make if you turned off the engine before putting the shift lever into park would be that the power brake assist would be lost when the engine quit running. If you already had your foot on the brake, this wouldn’t matter unless you released the pedal before shifting to park. You should make sure you apply the park brake before releasing the main brake after putting the shifter into park. You’d be surprised to know that without the parking brake applied the entire rolling weight of your vehicle is held by a small short metal rod in the transmission about the diameter of a pencil. When these rods wear because of lack of use of the parking brake, they can develop a groove that makes it harder to get the transmission out of park. “Hi Brian: I enjoy reading your column every week. It provides a lot of insight. Here’s what I’ve had to live with for the past year or so. I have a 2007 Infiniti FX35 with 118,000 km. When I bought the car three years ago, I was getting approximately 23.9 mpg (US gal.) premium fuel on a 1,500 mile road trip to Florida. Last year it dropped to under 21 mpg. Now I am down to 19.5 mpg. I change the air filter and oil regularly. It doesn’t seem to matter what speed I drive at: 60 mph or 75 mph, sometimes higher in order to keep up with traffic, A/C on or not, nothing changes. Would new spark plugs help or anything else that you can suggest? Here’s my second issue. I took it in to the shop with a noise in the front end. For a bit of background, I’ve had all the wheel bearings replaced under warranty two years ago. Last year the car developed a grinding noise in the front end. I went to the dealer and they said all that was needed was a slight adjustment to the brakes which was done. On my drive to Florida last year a slight vibration developed and an irritating rubbing noise at

Friends of Augusta Street Park need your help to make a splash! Fund offers us a chance to put our fundraising efforts over the top,� says committee member, Linda Nilson. “Aviva’s criteria fits perfectly with our vision of recreating Augusta Street Park as a safe, accessible community place where neighbours of all ages and abilities can meet, play, and relax.� The Augusta Street Park Community Committee has submitted their idea for funding for the splash pad phase of their plan through the Aviva Community Fund and is happy to have the support of Aviva Broker, Oegema, Nicholson & Associates. The committee sees this park element as more than just a splash pad for children but also a memorial water fountain of sorts in honour of all the hard community work done 40 years ago by neighbours who helped to bring water services and Augusta Street Park to the neighbourhood. The contest consists of three qualifying rounds from

The Bard of Avon comes to Carleton Place this October Arts – Othello, Shakespeare’s classic tragedy of love, betrayal and murder comes to the Carleton Place Town Hall theatre this October. Fifteen young people from Carleton Place, Almonte, and Lanark County will be presenting the tale of the Moor of Venice in the way it was originally intended – in the round, surrounded by the audience. Othello has been an audience favourite continually since it was written four hundred years ago. Its story has universal appeal: Iago, a soldier in the army of Venice, is passed over for promotion, and in his jealousy, seeks revenge. Pretending friendship, he sows seeds of doubt within his military commander and former friend, the Moorish general Othello. He convinces Othello that his new bride, Desdemona, has been unfaithful – while at the same time, Iago slanders the man who was promoted over him, the suave and intelligent Cassio. In the end, Othello, driven mad with doubt, mistakenly seeks revenge upon the faithful and unsuspecting Desdemona, who loves him still. Many theatregoers in the area will remember this group of young actors from previous Shakespearean performances. With the Mississippi Mudds this group presented Macbeth in 2010, and Much Ado About Nothing in 2011. And most recently, this year with the Almonte Valley Players, they presented Hamlet. Audiences will remember Hayley Fortier’s master turn as Hamlet in this spring’s pro-

duction. In this production of Othello, she takes on the role of the scheming villain Iago. Newcomer Dayna Stone takes on the title role of Othello. Leah West, who portrayed the mad Ophelia in Hamlet, now challenges herself with the role of Desdemona. And Katie Irvine, who lately played the nefarious villain Claudius, returns as the dashing Cassio. Connor Lyon, whose most recent role in Shakespeare was as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing, returns to help out as assistant director – and takes the small part of Brabantio, Desdemona’s father, as well. Director Mark Piper returns for his fourth outing, as well. “I’m having so much fun with this Shakespearean company, I don’t know if I’ll ever stop,� he says. “And it’s been a great learning experience for me as well. These actors, teenagers though they are, have taught me a lot about both Shakespeare and about acting. Some of them have developed their talents nearly to the professional level, and it’s a great privilege to work with them.� It’s a chance to see some very talented local teens bring life to the story of “the one who loved, not wisely but too well.� William Shakespeare’s Othello comes to Carleton Place Town Hall Oct. 20, 25, and 26.

News – Each year, Aviva Insurance gives away $1 million in Canada’s longest running online community funding competition, dedicated to funding the little things that will make a big difference in communities. The August Street Park Community Committee in Almonte has worked hard over the last two years to encourage renewed citizen interest in the park. Community engagement has helped to build community “ownership� of this neighbourhood park which in turn has resulted in in-kind donations, successful grant applications and a new sense of community for the park neighbours. Perhaps you attended one of the free music concerts we provided through “5 Wednesdays in July.� These events drew a wide range of citizens to the park, raised money for the park, but most dramatically helped make many “friends� for the park. “The Aviva Community

1933 Ford hot rod turns up in Niagara Falls 44 years later, with upgrades! Lifestyle – Russell Boles of Niagara Falls, Ontario, writes: “Hi Bill, I have been enjoying your ‘Old Car Detective’ column for several years. “Back in 1968, I purchased my first and only hot rod from a friend in rural Niagara. Charley Crowther built it – a 1933 Ford two-door coach with a flathead V8, lovely canary yellow paint job and a silver naugahyde interior stitched up by his mother! I drove it as my only car for about a year, with a constant smile on my face. However, I was getting married in the spring of 1970 and reluctantly sold the car in the fall of ’69 as I could not afford to keep it. I’ve kicked myself for over 40 years for letting it go. I sold it in Stoney Creek and it changed hands several times and I lost track of it. “A few years ago, I learned that my old ’33 had returned to Niagara, next door to where it was built so many years earlier. I finally traced the owner and in late June 2013 was able to see the car again after 44 years! It is now bright red and running a 327 Chevy with many fine upgrades. Enclosed are pictures of when I owned it and again this year.” The 1933 Fords and the almost identical ‘34s have long been a favourite with hot rodders and restorers alike. The ‘33s were the first Fords with a grille set back at an

angle as a big step toward streamlining. They are still a delight to look at today, 80 years later. And what does Russell Boles drive today? “I have just purchased from a collection in Arkansas a nicely restored 1941 Chevrolet pickup. So once again I’m having

fun cruising. This one won’t get away!” I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON

Town of Carleton Place welcomes Paws Fur Thought participants owner’s body chemistry when he is about to have a nightmare. She will poke him, wake him and change his focus, forcing him to interact with her.

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – “Welcome to our council chambers, welcome to our community,� said Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc last Tuesday, Sept. 17. LeBlanc was speaking to Canadian Armed Forces veteran Medric ‘Cous’ Cousineau. Cousineau was in town for the eighth leg of his fundraising walk, dubbed Paws Fur Thought. “I would like to say a very special thank you to the members of the legion who have accompanied Cous, his wife (Jocelyn) and his dog (Thai) here today,� said LeBlanc. “You have made them all feel very welcome.� Important message “Today is the 48th day of a 50-day odyssey that began in Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia,� said Cousineau. “I have been in more than 50 communities across this country raising funds and awareness for service dogs for veterans that suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).� The goal is 50 service dogs for 50 veterans in 50 days. The estimated price tag: $350,000. At present, Veteran Affairs Canada does not fund service dogs for veterans. Cousineau has battled PTSD for more than 26 years, resulting from a service injury. During a daring rescue mission off the coast of Newfoundland in October 1986, the former Sea King helicopter navigator was battered and almost drowned. For his bravery, Cousineau received the Star of Courage. “She (Thai) was the single largest step in the recovery of my health,� he said, “and now I

Carleton Place and area residents met at the cenotaph at sunrise for a 20-kilometre walk around town. “We had a wonderful day here in Carleton Place,� he said. “I visited with your high schools, your facilities for seniors, and I went to the Hall of Valour, which is really a national treasure. You should be very proud of that.� He also visited the Roy Brown Museum at the Moore House. “I really enjoyed my time in Carleton Place,� said Cousineau, “and thank you for letting me share some information about something you may not have heard before, but it’s a cause that’s near and dear to my heart.� His journey concluded at noon on Sept. 19 at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. Donations to Paws Fur Thought can be made online at www.pawsfurthought1.com or at the local Legion. LeBlanc presented Cousineau with yellow roses (a sign of friendship) and a donation for $100 from council. “Cous, I am going to give these (flowers) to you, but I want you to present them to Jocelyn,� said the mayor. “She’s accompanied you all along.� Again, LeBlanc thanked Carleton Place Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 for helping to make the day a success.

Events will be held throughout Saturday and Sunday in both Almonte and Pakenham. “The best part is that it’s all absolutely free,� said MacLaren. “It’s just a fun family day to get out and enjoy the arts.� This year the events are being organized individually by the businesses hosting the workshops, but it is being thought of as one unified event. “There is a possibility that this could

continue to grow year after year if there is a show of interest,� MacLaren said. “Culture is such a big part of this town; it definitely has the potential to become a large-scale event.� Fittingly, the Folkus concert series will be kicking off their season with their launch Sunday night as well. It is not connected to Culture Days in Mississippi Mills, but MacLaren says the timing couldn’t be better. “What better way to end the weekend than with something so culturally wellknown?� she said. More information about the event can be found on the Mississippi Mills Facebook page, where a flyer outlining the workshops and their locations has been posted.

PUBLIC NOTICE Water restrictions during renovations of the Almonte water tower During the months of September and October, the Town of Mississippi Mills will be moving forward with extensive renovations to the Almonte water tower. The renovation project led by McDonald Applicators (New Brunswick) will include a complete cleaning and restoration of the tank coatings as well as various mechanical repairs and upgrades. The

scheduled maintenance work involves fully draining the tank, removing all loose paint materials where necessary, and applying new paint finishes throughout all internal and external surfaces. The tower will also be refinished with a new white and blue colour scheme along with a rebranded logo approved by Town Council. The estimated cost of the overall project is $450,000 once all engineering, construction and stand-by costs are factored in. The 625,000 gallon water tower has not been painted since it was originally constructed in 1992, and coating systems are otherwise considered to be past the useful service life. The Town will continue to supply safe and clean drinking water to Almonte residents and businesses for the duration of this major project, however conservation measures will remain in place for the duration of the project. Residents are therefore advised that summer water restrictions will be extended from the normal date of September 30th until October 18th as follows: r 0EE OVNCFSFE BEESFTTFT NBZ XBUFS PO PEE calendar days between the hours of 5am and 9am as well as the period from 7pm till 11pm r &WFO OVNCFSFE BEESFTTFT NBZ XBUFS PO FWFO calendar days between the hours of 5am and 9am as well as the period from 7pm till 11pm The Roads and Public Works Department will also be doing its share to implement conservation measures including suspension of hydrant flushing activities as well as suspension of bulk water sales for the duration of the contract.

Town of Mississippi Mills seeking public input on council size: deadline Sept. 30 By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

News – Mississippi Mills residents have now had their chance to give input on the size of their town council as the three public meetings wrapped up Sept. 24; surveys on the subject are due Sept. 30. The town held three public meetings to inform the public about the current inquiry about changing the size of council. The Canadian Gazette attended the second meeting, held at Stewart Community Centre Sept. 19. The meeting was attended by less than 20 people, not many of them members of the public, and was led by Diane Smithson, the town’s chief administrative officer. “Town staff and council members outnumber the public tonight,” said Smithson at the start of the meeting. “Where is everyone else?” The attendance record wasn’t any better at the first public meeting held in Almonte, according to Coun. Shaun McLaughlin, only 19 people showed up there to give their thoughts. Despite the perhaps poor turnout at the meetings, Smithson gave a structured presentation outlining the ins and outs of the potential change in the size of council. She explained that a decision on the size and structure of council needs to be made by Jan. 1, 2014 in order to come

into effect for the municipal election scheduled for next fall. “Anyone wanting to run for council can begin submitting their paperwork in the new year, so that’s why this decision needs to be made by the end of this year,” said Smithson. “That, and we want to put this issue to bed, finally.” She also explained that in this instance, appeal rights will not exist, meaning that the public will not be able to appeal any bylaw that council may pass regarding its size. The size of the Mississippi Mills town council has been reviewed three times in the recent past by three separate firms. All three recommended that the council size be reduced; furthermore, they all recommended a size of seven or fewer councillors. Currently, council is structured in a ward system and has 11 members: a mayor, four councillors in each Almonte and Ramsay wards, and two councillors for Pakenham ward. Smithson, though, reminded everyone that there used to be 19 councillors in the area, before the amalgamation took effect; Almonte had nine councillors alone; Ramsay and Pakenham each had five. Four models are currently being considered, including the status quo model: one with 10 members including a newly created deputy mayor position; one with 10 members; and one with seven members including

a deputy mayor. “One important consideration is effective representation,” Smithson said. “This does not mean absolute parity, but all of the chosen models fall within the guidelines for relative voter parity.” Smithson also said that growth is another important factor to take into consideration when discussing the size of council. She explained that there will be opportunity to evaluate the wards before the election in 2018, and that there will be ways to accommodate growth and voter representation before then. After her presentation, Smithson opened the floor up to the public. One woman, a resident of Pakenham, asked what the job description would be for a deputy mayor. Smithson answered, saying that while there is no firm description, the purpose of the deputy mayor would be to take the place of the mayor when he is not available, and to become the second representative to Lanark County Council. As for what he/she would be paid, she noted there is no hard and fast rule, but similar wages in other communities have been 60 per cent of the mayor’s wage. Several town councillors also gave their opinions on what they would like to see happen to the size of council. McLaughlin said he is indifferent to the size of the council itself, but he wants to see a dep-

uty mayor position. “The deputy mayor position benefits everyone in town,” he said, explaining that councillors represent a single ward, whereas the deputy major is a representative of the entire area. Coun. John Edwards said he had the opposite view, saying that at election time it is the local concerns that surface, rarely county concerns. Coun. Denzil Ferguson said he was in support of a smaller council. “The meetings would be more effective with less people, and all consultants suggested the same model,” he said. Coun. Bernard Cameron showed his support for the status quo model. “Look at the number of people who are really concerned,” he said, referring to the number of residents who attended the meeting. “If it’s not broken, why fix it?” Since council members have differing opinions, one man asked whether it would be a problem to have a larger council if there are so many different wavelengths. He said a smaller council of seven members would be more efficient. Mayor John Levi wrapped up the public discussion with a clear statement: “A competent group of people, whether it’s 11 or seven, should be able to make those decisions.” The Town of Mississippi Mills is looking for public input to assist the council to de-

termine which direction they would like to go. A survey is available online and can be easily found on the Mississippi Mills Facebook page. The deadline for submissions is Sept. 30 and may be filled out online or in a hard copy to be dropped off at the municipal mailbox in Almonte. Call the office at 613-256-2064 for more information. Council will consider the public’s input at a council meeting in the near future, and will

make any decisions by Dec. 31. If no decision is made to change the size of council by the end of the year, council can decide to include a simple yes or no question on the 2014 ballet, according to Smithson. If there is a reply of 50 per cent or more either way, council is bound to follow through. “Council needs your help to make this decision,” said Smithson. “Use the survey to have your say in the size of your town’s council.”

Lake Avenue West to get new sidewalks this week News – Cavanagh’s crews are continuing with their driveway restorations and landscaping activities in the section of Lake Avenue West from Mississippi to Boyd. From Bridge Street to Boyd Street, Cavanagh’s crews are to finish grading the base material in preparation for concrete installation. This week concrete crews will be in Carleton Place to begin the large task of forming and pouring concrete curbs and sidewalks on Lake Avenue West. Cavanagh’s crews on Princess Street and Lisgar Street will be testing the new watermain next week. The town and its partners request your patience and ob-

servation of construction signage and travel with caution through this corridor during this major reconstruction project. If it is not practical or convenient to avoid the construction zone entirely, please drive with caution and follow the directions provided by the traffic control person and the posted construction signs. We ask for everyone’s patience and cooperation during the construction season, however, should a member of the public have any concerns or questions, please contact the public works office at 613257-2253.

Cousteau organization films documentary in Almonte and Appleton Washington-based Blue Legacy foundation, an advocacy group dedicated “to telling the story of our water planet and shape society’s dialogue to include water as one of the defining issues of the 21st century.” Sunday’s filming focused on the dying wetlands along the upriver from Appleton, and on the potential impact of the proposed Enerdu hydroelectric project in

downtown Almonte. Logistical support was provided by the Mississippi RiverWatchers, a local advocacy group that works to preserve the river’s aesthetic importance, ecosystem value and recreational potential. The documentary series is a joint project of Blue Legacy, the de Gaspé Beaubien Foundation and the Ottawa Riverkeeper. It will “tell the story of one of

Canada’s greatest rivers and how government and citizens are innovating ways to ensure a healthy and sustainable future for the river... and the people that champion those causes.” The films will pay special attention to the impact of hydroelectric development along the Ottawa system.

Unique sighting of snow geese in Pakenham recently Lifestyle – Travelling along many of our roads lately, overhead the scavenger of the skies soars effortlessly on outstretched wings. It is beautiful and so relaxing to watch a Turkey Vulture slowly rocking back and forth with support from the wind. Outside Carleton Place, in Beckwith Township, Steven Dormer watched two Rubythroated Hummingbirds at his hummingbird feeder. All of a sudden, they chased each other around the feeder, then they were dancing over the grass. Down onto the ground, one hummingbird seemed to dominate the other one. Since most adult hummingbirds have left our area by now, these were probably two “teens” fighting for control of the feeding area. Two days later, on Sept. 13, Ray Holland, Pakenham ward, moved his hum feeder to the front window. Three hummingbirds are still coming to dine. He told me that a good place to watch for

Strictly for the Birds LYNDA C. BENNETT

hawks migrating is along the Carp ridge. In Beckwith Township, Randy Marinelli still has one or two hummingbirds daily. He mentioned also that by mid-August, the Rosebreasted Grosbeaks had gone. However, on Sept. 13, one was seen feeding on Ironwood tree seeds. As well, on Sept. 12, a Great Crested Flycatcher was still present. A week prior to this, he heard a Winter Wren, and saw both Red-shouldered

Hawk and Wood Thrush. A gentleman reader called to tell of a friend in Almonte enjoying three otters playing in and on the shore of the Mississippi River. It’s wonderful to see these otters having such a good time. From her home in Carleton Place, overlooking the dam, Sandy Schapert sees the Osprey all spring and summer. Since last week, no Osprey has been seen. A Great Blue Heron often fishes there. Interesting news came from Ray Holland on Sept. 17. Seven Snow Geese swam in the river below the dam, two were white phase, the seventh a blue phase. It was their first time ever in Pakenham, and Ray took pictures of them. Thirty minutes later, I saw them there. They were all by themselves, peacefully floating on the water. It was a great sighting. Please call Lynda at 613-256-5013 or email bennett@magma.ca with your bird reports.

Lanark County Food Bank seek volunteers for board of directors News – Fall has officially arrived. The weather is turning a little cooler and the leaves are slowly beginning to change colour. With the arrival of autumn and the start of school just a month behind us the demand for our food bank assistance remains high. The non-denominational, non-political food bank’s operation depends solely upon the generous support of private and organizational donors. No level of government provides support for the assistance offered by our food bank. The bank is operated by a volunteer board of directors, a paid part-time manager and approximately 30 dedicated volunteers who pro-

vide front line service to our clients. The bank currently provides 12 hours of support weekly, including two evening hours. Using Food Banks Canada research data, the value of food distributed year-to-date is estimated to be $160,200 and the volunteer workforce has provided approximately $34,000 hours of volunteer service. The daily operation of the food bank is overseen by a volunteer board of directors. This board meets once monthly to review operations and resolve issues that may arise. At present, the board requires additional directors who are interested in making a positive contribution to their community through ensuring those in need

EDITORIAL

Impact of horrific crash felt by many Editorial – The awful events of Sept. 18 cost six people their lives. Naturally we all have questions about what went wrong when a double-decker OC Transpo bus struck a Via train near Fallowfield Station in Barrhaven. Yet, our priority in these days following the tragic event should be to care for those affected and let them know that their neighbours are here to help in any way they can. We will find out what happened as the Transportation Safety Board and Ottawa police complete their respective investigations. We may never know exactly why events unfolded as they did, but we’ll have a general idea.

In the meantime, we should all make an effort to avoid speculation. Guessing at the cause serves no purpose and can only be hurtful. There is also no good reason to point fingers at past decisions about the design of the rail crossing on Woodroffe Avenue and the Transitway where the collision took place. That crossing met all the existing standards of the day and is no different than hundreds – or possibly thousands – of crossings across the country. If that crossing is inherently dangerous then there is much work to do across Canada, and the federal government will have to help other levels of government pay to keep citizens of this country safe by separating train

lines for roads in many places. The TSB has committed to sharing all its information when their work is done and has also promised to alert the public and authorities if they find a glaring safety issue during their work. We can ask nothing more and nothing less. But as for now, many residents across Ottawa are bound to know someone who was on the bus, on the train or sitting in their car on Woodroffe Avenue when the collision occurred. This was a traumatic event, and those who witnessed it deserve our support to cope with the emotional fallout. Some will also know the families

of the six people – Michael Bleakney, Connor Boyd, Karen Krzyzewski, Kyle Nash, Rob More and Dave Woodard – who lost their lives. Those family members need all the help and support this city can afford them. But perhaps forgotten among those who might be shaken by this tragedy are the OC Transpo bus drivers. It’s never easy losing a colleague, and many drivers may recall the times they’ve driven past that site and think it could’ve been them and their passengers. So next time you’re getting off a bus, take a moment to thank your bus driver for getting you there safe and sound – their job is far from easy.

Dressing for success Opinion – You’re dressed for success wearing a little black dress. S a t u r d a y ’s inaugural Little Black Dress Event in Carleton Place was a huge victory for the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) – and organizers. Carol Dryburgh, president of the Almonte, Carleton Place & Pakenham branch of the CCS, said there are still some loose ends to tie up, but it is looking very good for dollars raised. More than 300 beautiful ladies across Lanark County glammed up their ‘do’ on Sept. 21, dusting off their little black dresses for a night of fun, friends and fundraising. One of the night’s funniest moments came as Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc welcomed guests. “I am wearing a LBSD tonight,” she said. “Long black stretchy dress.” The mayor also teased emcee and disc jockey was Jack Denovan. “Jack, I am really surprised you didn’t show up tonight in a little black dress,” she said. “If anyone could pull it off, it would be you.” The affair – a sellout – took place in the upper hall of the Carleton Place arena. This year the CCS celebrates its 75th anniversary. Cancer (the C-word) does not discriminate. It affects everyone – the young and old, the rich and poor, men, women and children.

Almost all of us know someone who got very sick or died from cancer. Tara Firma Wishing everyone a fun, good night, Carol stated, “Each one of us has someone or several people we are thinking about tonight.” “We know why we are here.” Carol and her committee (Kate Bennett, Lorna Drummond, Leanne Dryburgh, Lisa Ross, Sarah Sanftenbe and Gay Wilson) deserve huge kudos for putting on the Little Black Dress Event. It was of an exceptionally high standard and thoroughly well organized. Owing to her leadership role with the local CCS branch, I have had the pleasure of working with Carol for some time. She is professional, polished, organized and dedicated. I consider Carol a friend. While interviewing Carol for a preview story about the Little Black Dress Event, we enjoyed coffee and homemade scones at her house, and we shared personal stories about the C-word. She is a good listener, and I always feel better after one of our chats. Next year’s Little Black Dress Event has already been scheduled for Sept. 20. Tickets will go on sale in May. I know it will be another success because of Carol and her team. If you have any comments or questions for Tara Gesner, she can be reached by email at: tgesner@perfprint.ca.

Resident urges council to be accountable when receiving gifts from businesses

Councillor comments on MM council size DEAR EDITOR: The size of council debate which is before Mississippi Mills’ council is a fundamental democratic issue about how the municipality should govern itself. Some councillors have concerns about the current proposals to potentially reduce council to seven members. The supporters of the reduction say the current number of councillors causes meetings to be too long and too inefficient. They prefer a smaller council so decision-making can be accelerated. The question before all of us, is: What is the price? This is not a question of economics as there is little doubt that council salaries will go up commensurately with the increased workload. It is a question of how the average person can access their council and feel a part of their government. In these discussions, council needs to See SIZE page A/CP10

accepting them rather than not offering them to those that cannot? 4) Should town councillors/staff attend functions at the expense of local companies what assurances are being provided that proprietary information about current or future town contracts is not being discussed? Can town council provide taxpayers with 100 per cent assurance that this has never in the past, present or future taken place? If the answer is no, then this alone should be the

catalyst to end the current practice of councillors/staff using their positions to receiving gifts that are a result of taxpayer funded contracts. After pursuing this issue for almost 18 months I have received little more that silence. Recently, the mayor has offered to meet with me to discuss my concerns, but only “informally.” I find this to be very ironic considering that the mayor’s homepage states on 12 separate occasions she and council are

upholding “transparency and accountability” for Carleton Place. In addition, since I have been pursuing this issue the mayor has not taken the time to say hello to me, even though I see her at the farmers’ market almost every weekend. Why is the town not being fully transparent and accountable to taxpayers in what they receive in the way of gifts from contractors? Why does the mayor and majority of council continue

to condone this unethical practice? And when this issue is brought up why do they suddenly become very quiet? Until I receive some clear answers (ones that are transparent and accountable), I guess I will never know. I would ask that other taxpayers in Carleton Place press our elected officials for some answers to these questions.

DEAR EDITOR: Since May 2012, I have repeatedly asked Carleton Place Council why they allow staff and councillors to receive gifts from those that get town contracts. The only answer I received to date was that it was important for town officials to receive gifts from local businesses because they had influence with the provincial government. I found this response to be a little odd – how and why does getting gifts from local business oblige them to lobbying for Carleton Place at Queen’s Park? Do we not already have an MPP and numerous provincial ministries who are responsible for this very function? Recently, the town passed the fundraising, campaigns and donations policy, which requires all gifts over $200 be recorded in a public gift registry. This new policy was approved during a summer council meeting that had a very heavy agenda. I unfortunately could not stay until 11:30 p.m. when this policy was tabled to outline my concerns. However, it should be noted I did provide my concerns in writing to the mayor and council well in advance of this meeting. The four key points of my most recent letter regarding the fundraising, campaigns and donations policy included the following points: 1) The new town policy requires all single gifts over $200 received by councillors and staff to be recorded in a public registry. However, the policy fails to account for gifts under $200 that may be given repeatedly. So any member of council or the administration could receive multiple gifts that could easily add up to hundreds or thousands of dollars – as long as each gift is below the $200 threshold, there is no obligation for them to report. 2) Councillors are provided with a discretionary fund to cover expenses related to Town’s business. Why are councillors not required by town policy to use these funds to pay their own way to invitations from local companies to outside events? 3) Other municipalities (i.e. the Town of Perth) require that all gifts over a very small amount be donated to local charities rather than be enjoyed by town councillors, staff or their families. Why has Carleton Place not undertaken the same position in terms of receiving gifts from local businesses? Why are those that can easily afford these perks

remember that it exists to serve the people, first and foremost. It does not exist to serve the municipal staff or the development industry as its primary function. Two fundamental principles are at issue. The first issue is; who gets to sit on council? Are there potential candidates who will be excluded by going to a smaller council? In theory, everyone would agree that our council should reflect the variety of people who live and work in the community. All groups whether they are retired or working people should have the ability to sit on council. The very success of a council depends upon having people from all walks of life sitting at the table. A higher number of councillors allows the work of council to be spread around so that no one carries too much of a burden. The proposal to reduce council will obviously increase the time commitment and the workload on fewer councillors. Unfortunately, this will be an additional major deterrent for the average working man or woman to serve on council. As the

workload increases, the new councillors’ salaries will increase and we will end up with a semi-professional ‘political class’ who will sit on council for decades. Rural Ontario would be much better served by a variety of average citizens sitting on council who are in touch with the concerns of the working people of the community. By excluding a whole group from council, the current proposal stifles the voice of the working people of our community. The second issue is the way council relates to the community. We are a rural community. We function very well by sharing information, by cooperating and by listening to one another. Our community is made up of literally hundreds of volunteer groups. Each one provides fellowship and leadership in our community. To truly be successful in small-town and rural Ontario, a municipal council should be in close contact and communication with all these groups. These groups do beneficial work in our community. Without these groups and their volunteers, our community would not be able to function the way it does. This is not the City of Ottawa which simply keeps adding departments and

employees when it wants to do things. We function quite differently. We create partnerships with community groups to further community aspirations and we do it in a way which is far more economic and efficient than the city. However, all of this sharing, partnering and listening takes significant chunks of time. A council of fewer councillors will not be able to support this vital characteristic of our municipality A council which is open to people in all walks of life and which maintains its contacts with all the community groups which are so vital to the life-style of rural and small-town Ontario is to be cherished and protected. A reduction in the size of council will further erode these values. Finally, proponents of a smaller council argue that decision-making takes too long in Mississippi Mills due to the larger council and consequently, growth is slowed down. The evidence is to the contrary. In the past 15 years with an 11-person council, Mississippi Mills has made enormous strides forward in growth and investment in the town.

Ottawa Street Business Park investment, a waterfront park, hundreds of new residences, Riverwalk, beautification projects, Community Official Plan, long-term fiscal planning, etc. are only the highlights of a strong and focused municipality. These achievements are the result of a combination of an experienced staff leadership team coupled with an 11person council. One thinks of the adage, “If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.� A smaller council might actually accelerate growth but it would be at the price of reducing public input at the council table where it matters most. Of course, there is an un-answered question; is accelerated development what the community wants? Instead of the current 800-plus residences in various stages of approval in Almonte, does the community want 1,600, 2,400, 3,200? Does the community want accelerated commercial strip development along Ottawa Street with more big box stores and fast food joints built faster and with fewer questions asked? Does the community want 1,000 more rural severances instead of the 700 we currently have?

I believe, the community as a whole likes the current rate of change as it seeks to balance growth with the preservation of the character of the community. One only has to look at other towns to see firsthand what rapid growth on the edge of the community has done to decimate main street businesses. Thankfully, Almonte and Mississippi Mills has a more balanced approach. In closing, many of you who read this may think this is a ‘tempest in a teapot’. “There they go again, smalltown politicians talking to themselves!â€? The very low attendance at the public meetings on this topic would confirm this view. Certainly, there are more important issues in this world such as wars, famine and injustice. We only ask for a small portion of your time to think about your own community and how we can make local democracy work as best we can. When questioned on democracy, Churchill said, “Democracy is the most inefficient form of government‌but, it’s the best we’ve got!â€? John Edwards, councillor Town of Mississippi Mills

Mississippi Mills to explore creation of heritage conservation district By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

News – It’s no secret that Almonte is a town full of heritage: several of its buildings are original to the more than 100-year-old town and are integral to the character of the region. Now, the town of Mississippi Mills is taking steps to create a Heritage Conservation District in downtown Almonte, and have drafted a request for proposals from consulting agencies. At their meeting held Sept. 17, Committee of the Whole approved a drafted request seeking proposals to provide professional services to prepare a Heritage Conservation District Study, the first of many steps to preserving the town’s physical history. In a separate interview, Diane Smithson, Mississippi Mills’ chief administrative officer, said a heritage conservation district is a defined area of a municipality that is protected and its heritage preserved. For Almonte, the drafted proposal has determined multiple buildings it would like to see included in the area. “We have defined a preliminary area,” Smithson said, “but that is part of what the chosen consultant will do. They will draft their own proposal for the

physical limits of the heritage conservation district.” The town will be accepting proposals from agencies until Tuesday, Oct. 10. The successful consultant or consulting team will be expected to evaluate the cultural heritage resources and attributes in the town; delineate the boundary of the district; and hold public information meetings on the adoption of any adopted bylaws, among other things. “The consultant will lead the project for the duration of the initiative,” Smithson said. The chosen consultant will begin with a heritage conservation district study, which will determine whether or not it is a fitting project for Almonte. This process involves evaluating the heritage sites of the town and the area as a whole. Once approved, the consultant will have their initial meeting at the end of this November with the town to discuss an outline and a plan. If all goes according to the drafted timeline set out for the project, a bylaw will be passed declaring the heritage conservation district in October of 2014; one year from now. However, the initiative is not set in stone, Smithson said during the committee meeting. The

project can be terminated at multiple points along the proposed timeline if council determines it should go no further. The first public meeting will be held in late January 2014, if everything goes according to plan. The meeting will inform the public of what the study means and how it will be achieved over the course of the year. There is currently no defined cost attached to the project. The consultants who answer the request will also provide estimates for their services. Smithson pointed out that Almonte could look to Perth, who just completed their own study, for comparison. Perth spent $55,000 on their heritage district conservation study, but Smithson said their project included evaluating 95 properties from start to finish, which is more than would need to be done in Almonte. “We have less properties to be evaluated and a lot of the work has already been done and is ready to go,” she said. “I would estimate that it would be significantly cheaper to do here.” The recommended consultant proposals will be brought forward to council no later than Oct. 22; after a team is chosen, the study portion of the project will begin.

United Way fall campaign kicks off News – September marks the start of the 26th annual fall fundraising campaign for the United Way Lanark County, where the community comes together to help those in need. “This year we hope to build on the success of our last campaign, where we exceeded our goal by $42,000”, says board chair Johann Ramsaran. “That success allowed us to once again support our friends, our neighbours, our community – through our member agencies – who reach out to our seniors, our youth, and our disadvantaged in the county, to help them to a better life.” To celebrate the opening of the campaign this fall, United Way Lanark County will be hosting kick-off breakfasts in Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills. The Mississippi Mills/ Almonte breakfast will take place on Thursday, Oct. 3 from 7 to 9 a.m. hosted by Mill Street Crepe Company (14 Mill Street, Almonte) who along with the Shops of Heritage Court are kindly sponsoring the breakfast. In Carleton Place, the Waterside Retirement Community (105 McNeely Avenue) is both hosting and sponsoring the breakfast on Friday, Oct. 4, again from 7 to 9 a.m. “These breakfasts provide us the opportunity to let the business community know how important

their contributions are, through the support they give with both employee and corporate donations to the campaign,” says Fraser Scantlebury, executive director of the United Way. “The idea of having individual breakfasts in each major town of the county,” continued Scantlebury, “is to allow local employers and employees to participate”. Each breakfast will feature a brief presentation on the work of the United Way Lanark County, as well as testimonials from some of those who benefit from the help provided by the 16 member agencies of the United Way Lanark County. “Hearing from those who are helped,” noted Ramsaran “ is often the most important and moving portion of our breakfasts meeting – it allows community members to see who and what their donations support.” “This year, we hope community members will consider becoming an Everyday Hero,” continued Ramsaran, “where for just $1 per day, you can improve lives and make our community stronger, and for $1 per day, you can be an Everyday Hero! The process is easy – just sign up to make payroll deductions with your employer at your place of work, or sign up with us to do it by direct withdrawals from your

bank account or credit card. If you need assistance, simply call our office at 613-253-9074 or go to our website at http:// www.lanarkunitedway.com. For a donation equal to $1 per day, you have the opportunity to make a real difference in your community!” “We are really pleased that Mill Street Crepe Company, along with the Shops at Heritage Court – Vamos Outdoors, The White Lilly, Rising Sun Yoga, Phil Wood Framing, Gilligallou Bird Inc., Colby McGeachy Accountants, and the Tony Mihok Studio & Gallery – are sponsoring our Mississippi Mills/ Almonte breakfast this year while the Waterside Retirement Community our sponsoring the Carleton Place breakfast,” continued Scantlebury. “We just need community members to let us know they will be attending, by either calling 613-253-9074 or by sending an email to info@ lanarkunitedway.com. We are asking for a $5 donation, and we hope as many community members as possible turn out to help us celebrate the start of the campaign.” For further information or to RSVP, please contact the United Way Lanark County office at 613-253-9074 or via email at info@lanarkunitedway.com.

Mississippi Mills considers ATV bylaw kkent@perfprint.ca

Regulations In order to pass a bylaw to allow ATVs on municipal roads, it has to comply with the Highway Traffic Act defined by the province. Therefore, rules and regulations have been set governing all aspects

The most common vehicle that fits these criteria is a four-wheeler; dirt bikes and side-by-sides or golf carts are not allowed. To be allowed to drive on the roads legally under the bylaw, the operator must: • Wear a legal helmet • Have a valid G2 or G drivers’ license; children under 16 or those who do not have a valid license will not be allowed on the roads • The vehicle must have its proper permits and plates • The vehicle must be properly insured Speed limits will be enacted as with any bylaw governing the use of vehicles. On roads posted at 50 km/h or less, ATVs will be allowed to travel no faster than 20 km/h. On roads posted at more than 50 km/h, ATVs will travel no quicker than 50 km/h. A curfew has also been proposed to restrict the use of ATVs on municipal roads between the hours of 11 p.m and 4 a.m. “We set the curfew to lift at such an early hour to accommodate the hunters and anglers in the area. Many of them start their days early and this would help them do that,â€? said Dunlop. The bylaw will not permit ATV use on any roads bordering communities who do not allow the use of them on their roads. For example, the City of Ottawa does not allow them on their roadways, so ATVs would not be permitted on Golden Line Road, which falls within Mississippi Mills. Fines will also be enforced at set fees: $110 will be charged for any use of studs or chains on an ATVs tires on municipal roads and for failing to have reflective markings on

all four sides of the vehicle. What it means For the many residents of Mississippi Mills who own ATVs, this bylaw would potentially make it easier to access trails and amenities such as food and gas, by opening up more permitted roads. Currently, ATVs are allowed to pass through Almonte and Pakenham on County Road 29, allowing access to gas bars and a few trails, but the passing of the bylaw would open that access to County Roads 17 and 16A among others, making it easier to get around town. So far, as Dunlop said, there have been no major signs of objection to the passing of this bylaw, but surveys are available online for anyone wishing to state their position. “People may be concerned about noise or safety,� said Dunlop. “But who knows why else someone might be against this issue. That’s why we hold the meetings.� At the public information session in Pakenham though, several residents who attended said they were all for the bylaw being passed. “I’ve wanted it for 13 years, ever since I got my ATV,� said Pakenham resident Jody Metcalfe. “I use it for recreation and this would just make it so much easier.� Those who spoke to the Canadian Gazette that day were in favour of the bylaw. Many residents said they use their ATVs for recreation, hunting or for everyday jobs. “I have 100 acres just down the road from my house,� said Fred Lowe, who lives in Pakenham. “I use my ATV for a work vehicle, hauling wood and such. This bylaw would make things much simpler.� ATVs will still not be allowed in urban areas, including downtown Pakenham or Almonte, meaning that owners will need to take the vehicles to the permitted roads by trailer. The roads and public works department of Mississippi Mills is looking for public input in order to make a recommendation to council at their regular meeting on Oct. 15. Surveys can be found online and must be submitted by Friday, Sept. 27. “We’re looking to see what the public has to say,� said Coun. Shaun McLaughlin. “It’s important to know what the locals think.� Any questions or concerns can be directed to Troy Dunlop at 613-2562064 ext. 233.

News – On Wednesday, Sept. 18, the Town of Mississippi Mills held one of two public information sessions on the possibility of passing a bylaw to allow all-terrain vehicles on municipal roads within Mississippi Mills. The meeting, held at the Stewart Community Centre in Pakenham, was conducted by the roads and public works department as commissioned to do so in April of 2013. “We were asked to investigate the possibility of allowing ATVs on municipal roads within the community,� said Troy Dunlop, director of the department. “This would allow locals better access to amenities and make it easier to get to trails.� Back in 2003, the province of Ontario passed a law allowing ATVs on certain provincial highways, and giving power to municipalities to determine their own bylaws on the subject under the Highway Traffic Act. Then, on June 26 of this year, Lanark County passed a bylaw allowing the vehicles on all countyowned roads, excluding those inside Perth, Carleton Place and a select few in Almonte (primarily County Roads 17 and 16A.) Following the bylaw, on April 16, Mississippi Mills town council asked the roads and public works department to investigate the option of passing another bylaw to allow ATVs on select municipal roads within the community and to seek public input before the end of the year. At two meetings, one in Pakenahm on Sept. 18 and another in Almonte on Sept. 19, the department offered public information sessions to answer any questions locals may have had and to ask them to fill out a survey stating their position on the issue. “So far we haven’t had many comments on the issue from either side,� said Dunlop. “But I can say that council supported Lanark County in their initiative. I think it would take a very strong voice of opposition to stop them from passing this bylaw.�

of the issue. These regulations will be consistent throughout Lanark County to avoid confusion when passing from ward to ward. First of all, and ATV or an off road vehicle as they are sometimes referred, is defined as follows: • The vehicle has four wheels which make contact with the ground • It has steering handlebars; not a steering wheel or other method • Its seat is straddled by the operator; one leg on either side • It is designed to be ridden by one person; no passengers are allowed

Angels Roost Organic Spa moving By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

Business – Kathy Blair is ready to rule a new roost. After 14 years at its current location, Angels Roost Organic Spa in Beckwith Township is relocating to a 97-acre property just two minutes down the road – 1731 7th Line. “A wonderful opportunity came up to buy this piece of property,� said Blair, spa owner and esthetician. She is hopeful to be in the new location by late fall, when construction is completed. Imagine a calm, picturesque country setting amongst beautiful gardens – a haven for rest and relaxation. “There is an apple orchard, peach and pear trees, pond as well as two greenhouses,� said Blair. “We will incorporate herbs from the greenhouses into our spa treatments, have fresh flower in the spa each day as well as have an apple waiting on pedicure chairs.� Wayne Massey, her husband fell in love with the property, which encompasses an 1840 heritage home, old barn and much more. “We are restoring a portion of the barn to become the spa,� said Blair. Truly organic

MVCA grand opening Oct. 18; hospital development decision expected late fall News – Carleton Place councillors serve on a range of committees within the municipality and Lanark County, and at the beginning of every community issues committee meeting they are afforded an opportunity to share updates. Last Tuesday, Sept. 17, the following items came forward: MVCA grand opening Oct. 18 Coun. Doug Black noted the grand opening of the new Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) headquarters along Highway 7 (at the site of Roy Brown Park) would be Friday, Oct. 18 from 3 to 6 p.m. The MVCA is a local, watershed management agency providing services and programs to help protect and manage water as well as other natural resources in the Mississippi River watershed. Chamber update The Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce has now moved into its new digs at the Old Train Station (123 Coleman St.), reported Coun. Jerry Flynn. “They are beside where they were before,” he said. “It’s a great space.” The Chamber had a successful

golf tournament on Sept. 10 at the Canadian Golf & Country Club in Ashton. The sixth annual Golf Classic raised just over $13,000. Proceeds will assist with future Chamber programming, staffing, and to increase our member’s profiles in the community. The Chamber will present its inaugural Business Awards of Excellence Gala on Saturday, Oct. 19. Good neighbours great neighbourhood Representing the good neighbours great neighbourhood committee, Black said his group last met on July 10. “We had a good roundtable discussion,” he said, “and it was felt by members that they have successfully achieved the mandate set out by council.” No further meetings are scheduled. Hospital redevelopment LeBlanc said there was not a lot to report in regards to the hospital redevelopment committee. “We are waiting to hear from the treasury board, once again,” she said. “They make the decision about where the big bucks are going to be spent and who is going to get into which part of the line.”

LeBlanc said the decision should be made some time in late October or early November. Ontario East Municipal Conference The Ontario East Municipal Conference (OEMC) was held in Kingston from Sept. 11 to 13. Both LeBlanc and Carleton Place’s deputy mayor, Ed Sonnenburg, attended by way of county council. “We had staff members Manda Blakeley and Lisa Young present,” said the mayor. “Paul (Knowles) was there as well.” Blakeley is the town’s communications coordinator and Young is the director of planning and development. “Lisa spoke about the development permit bylaw process and Manda spoke with Matt Ferguson about Text2 Systems,” she said. “Manda also talked about the sister city committee, along with resident Jeff Maguire.” Heritage ball The sister city committee will hold its annual heritage ball this Saturday, Sept. 28 at the town hall auditorium. It is sold out. “The theme this year is ‘An Evening in Paris’,” said Flynn. Four exchange students arrive from Comrie, Scotland on Thanksgiving Sunday.

While many patients with age-related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy, the two leading causes of blindness, were required to travel to Kingston to have vision-saving treatment, they can now stay in the Perth/Smiths Falls area to complete their procedures. Dr. Sanjay Sharma, an internationally recognized retina specialist has now brought the Macula Clinic to Smiths Falls to conveniently provide retinal care to patients living in Perth/Smiths Falls and surrounding areas.

The macula is the small central part in the back of the eye that allows us to see fine detail. This is important for activities like reading, driving, and face recognition. In both age-related macular degeneration and diabetes, the macula can become very wet with fluid which can ultimately destroy vision. Fortunately these conditions can be treated with medications that are injected into the eye. These injections result in stabilization of vision in 95% of people and significant improvement in nearly half. “We have heard from our patients that traveling to Kingston for their eye injections was very difficult for them and their family members. While our patients still have to have specialized testing done in Kingston, I believe establishing a Macula Clinic in Smiths Falls provides better care for patients in this and surrounding areas”, says Dr. Sharma, a Professor of Ophthalmology and Epidemiology at Queen’s University who completed his training in retinal diseases at Harvard University.

Community – People have been adopting children, pets and even highways in need for years, giving their time and resources to help make the world a brighter place – and now, in Mississippi Mills, locals can adopt a park of their very own. In the fall of last year, Lanark County Support Services (LCSS) became the first organization to become a part of the initiative, officially adopting Don Maynard Park in Almonte. “It’s a great thing for the community and for the group who adopted it,” said Leigh-Anne Giardino, the group’s supervisor. Adopting a park is much like adopting a highway: the town still takes care of general maintenance but the adopters are in charge of beautification and garbage removal. “We had two groups who came regularly to the park,” said Giardino. “Two or three times a week we’d come and take care of the garden and pick up any trash that we could see.” LCSS is a local Almonte group that provides day programs to adults in Mississippi Mills with developmental disabilities. The group strives to be an active part of the community and, in doing so, teaches important life skills to its members. Early in 2012, LCSS approached

Mississippi Mills Council with their proposal to adopt the small park, which is located on the residential Gale Street near the Almonte General Hospital. “We kind of got the idea from the Adopt a Highway thing,” Giardino said. “We wanted to have a project park to take care of.” Around this time last year, the council approved the group’s idea and LCSS officially adopted the park. “We couldn’t really start anything then, of course,” said Calvin Murphy, recreation co-ordinator for Mississippi Mills. “So we started in the spring and summer this year.” Since they took over the park, LCSS has planted a flower garden and done a general cleanup of the grounds. There is talk of more improvements next year, such as the addition of benches under the shade trees. “This is a great way for us to become involved in the community,” Giardino said. “Everyone has been involved in the work we did this summer.” After Don Maynard Park was adopted, another local group assumed Augusta Street Park, which has undergone a major transformation over the last couple of years. “We hope that more and more people will adopt parks in our community,” Murphy said. “It’s really a great initiative.” Mississippi Mills has a plethora of eligible parks for adoption. Anyone interested can contact Calvin Murphy at 613-256-1077.

News – The 2013 Junior Volunteer Program at the Almonte General Hospital/Fairview Manor ran from June 28 to Aug. 30 and had 42 participants. “There were many great, ambitious, young individuals from the community who helped with the program,” said student volunteer leader Melissa Costello. “More than 1,800 hours were contributed by the junior volunteers this summer.” The program was very enriching for the participants and also allowed the senior volunteers to take a well-deserved break from their volunteering positions during the rest of the year.

Almonte General Hospital junior volunteers put in 1,800 hours Fairview Manor recreation, Fairview Manor hairdressing, day hospital, physiotherapy, Rosamond unit recreation, volunteer services, and gardening. Anne McRae was the volunteer coordinator for the program. Loyal and hardworking volunteers who helped train the junior volunteers were Rita Munro (who trained them in physiotherapy) and Mary Dillabaugh and Claude Vachon (who helped with the medical/surgical unit, obstetrical unit and Rosamond unit water delivery). All of the volunteers found the staff welcoming as they assumed their volunteer roles, and they also put in a lot of hard work to keep the volunteer program going. “The experience was very good for me as a person,” said Costello. “All my expectations were exceeded and I tried my best to help the program grow. Students working at AGH/FVM are in the processing of deciding on their future with some exploring what it is like to work in a hospital.” Costello, 19, who volunteered previously for the program, is entering her second year of the Bachelor of Science program at Queen’s University in Kingston. She will have a busy school year focusing on major life sciences and taking courses such as anatomy, physiology, molecular biology, genetics and organic chemistry. When she finishes her first degree she will consider applying to medical school to become a doctor.

The program is designed to help students gain experience in a hospital environment and to help them earn the 40 hours of community service they need to graduate from high school. Junior volunteers could choose one of five positions. Each position allowed a student to spend a week (usually Monday to Friday) volunteering in at least three different areas of the hospital or manor. During the week, they worked from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and were given a half-hour lunch break. On Fridays, the junior volunteers had a pizza party to get to know each other.

Canadians continue to roll with two more wins on Sunday, Sept. 22 was no contest. The Canadians jumped all over the Colts from the start, building a 4-0 lead by the end of the opening period. The visitors tried to make a game of it with a pair of goals early in the second, but the Canadians struck for two more late in the period and added a single in the third to win going away 7-2. Andy Sturtz led the way with a hat trick. The Buffalo, N.Y., native now has nine goals in nine games so far this season, tops in the league so far. Other goals scorers this day were Vinny Post with two, Tyson Stewart and Luke Edwards. Brett DAndrea collected three assists; Larry Smith, Elias Ghantous and Jim Roll each had two. Laforest made 21 saves for the win. The increasingly chippy affair bogged down in the third with a series of 10-minute misconduct penalties to both teams. Referees Chris Hodgins and Scott Loney handed out a total of 142 minutes in penalties off 35 infractions. Upcoming games • The Canadians have a busy week ahead starting with a road game this Friday in Brockville. They host the Braves Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m., then travel to Kanata for a date with the Stallions on Tuesday; to Nepean to face the Raiders Wednesday; then on to Hawkesbury on Friday. • Tuesday, the league announced its Corporate Hype Player of the Week and the Canadians were again in the mix. Vinny Post received an Honorable Mention for his solid four goals in two games versus the Colts. The Clarkston, Michigan native has 10 points (four goals, six assists) in 10 games so far this season. The player of the week was Kanata Stallions goalie Cole Skinner. He won three times, recording a 1.33 GAA last week.

Carleton Place boxer captures national title Sports – Elite welterweight boxer, Lucas Rowe, competed at the first-ever World Boxing Council (WBC) sanctioned Canadian Championships late Sept. 13 in Langley, British Columbia. The competition pitted eastern and western conference champions against one another in one winner-take-all match. Rowe made the team after a gold medal victory at the OBA Golden Gloves this past March. Rowe, an amateur boxer born and bred in the Carleton Place region, fought against BC native George Vourtsis in the 147lb Welterweight category. The WBC Canadian Championships use the rules of the 2016 Olympics which means 10-point must system scoring, no headgear or shirts. This is the new direction of amateur boxing. In a unanimous decision, Rowe defeated Vourtsis in the three minute, threeround match. Rowe was one of the most experienced fighters from the Eastern conference. He has trained at Kitchener gym Boxing by Syd under the mentorship of Syd Vanderpool and Derek Lacey for more than five years and for two years has been a coach. Rowe’s experience,

Sports – The Carleton Place Canadians extended their winning streak this past week and continue to be the class of the CCHL. The club swept back-to-back games with the Cornwall Colts, extending their winning streak to a season high four games. At 8-2-0-0 and 16 points, they remain atop the overall standings, a point up on both Ottawa Jr. Senators and Kanata Stallions. Within the Robinson Division, the Canadians enjoy a fourpoint advantage on Cornwall (5-3-1-1) and five points on Smiths Falls (5-3-1-0) and Brockville (5-3-1-0). Last Thursday in Cornwall, the Canadians needed a third period comeback and then overtime to get by the always-tough Colts. Despite a wide advantage in shots, Carleton Place trailed 3-1 after 40 minutes. And they found themselves down 4-1 when Antonios Roumeliotis beat goalie Justin Laforest at the 3:31 mark of the third. Vinny Post sparked the comeback a little over a minute later with a power play marker, then brought the visitors back to within one with his second of the game 7:50 into the third. The comeback was complete when Stephen Baylis connected, assisted by Anthony McVeigh and Evan Peterson at 11:33. Baylis also scored late the first period. Luke Edwards made the night a complete success, scoring his first goal of the season just 18 seconds into the extra frame. Assisting on the winning goal was Kelly Summers. Cory Simic started in net for the Canadians but was pulled at 11:05 of the first period after allowing two goals on four shots. Laforest picked up the win in relief, stopping 13 of the 15 shots he faced. Jordan Piccolino took the loss for the Colts. The return match in Carleton Place

AGH/FVM family saddened by loss of long-time supporter Mary Hugessen Members of the Almonte General Hospital (AGH) Board of Directors, AGH/Fairview Manor (FVM) Foundation Board of Directors, AGH and FVM physicians, staff and volunteers are deeply saddened by the passing of Mary Hugessen on September 15, 2013. Mrs. Hugessen had a strong connection to health care in our community. Her grandfather’s uncle, Bennett Rosamond, built the Rosamond Memorial Hospital, which served the area for more than 50 years. Her grandfather, Alexander Rosamond, and her grandmother, Mary Rosamond, both served on the Rosamond Hospital Board of Directors. Norah Hughes, Mrs. Hugessen’s aunt, represented the Rosamond family at the 1961 official opening of AGH. In 1982, the Hospital’s complex continuing care wing was named the Rosamond Unit to recognize the family’s contributions to local hospital services. Mary and Jim Hugessen moved to Almonte in 1990 and Mrs. Hugessen joined the AGH Board in 1994. She served on the Hospital Board until 2003, including three years as Chair. During her tenure as Chair, the Hospital and County of Lanark negotiated the

Mary Hugessen agreement that led to the transfer of Fairview Manor to AGH, the redevelopment of AGH and the construction of the new Manor. Mrs. Hugessen was also a founding member of the AGH/FVM Foundation Board, which undertook the Quality Care For Life capital campaign to raise $4

million for the redevelopment project. Mrs. Hugessen Co-chaired the Campaign, which ultimately raised $4.5 million. She chaired the leadership gift committee, and she her husband donated $150,000 to the Campaign. She was Chair of the Foundation Board when the AGH/FVM redevelopment project was officially opened in 2008. “I considered it an honour to serve on the AGH/FVM Board and Foundation Board,” Mrs. Hugessen said in an interview in 2011. “But the big thing for me was the campaign to redevelop the Hospital and Manor. I think of my time as being part of putting it all together.” After leaving the Foundation Board, Mrs. Hugessen remained a strong supporter of the Hospital and Manor. “On behalf of everyone in the AGH family, I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Mrs. Hugessen’s family,” said AGH President and CEO Mary Wilson Trider. “Through her generous gifts of time, talent and philanthropy she made an enormous contribution to health care in our community that will benefit patients and residents for many years to come.”

Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee working to save lives By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – Most people would rather not talk about it. They hope it will never happen to anyone they know. But suicide is a reality, and it is more common than people think. In Canada there are 4,000 suicides (all age groups) every year, and there are a number contributing influences: mental illness, drug abuse, etc. When an individual finds himself or herself feeling helpless and hopeless, there are usually several factors linked to this, said Nicole Pearson, a member of the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee (CPDSC). Nicole attended the municipality’s community issues commit-

tee meeting last Tuesday evening, Sept. 17, updating council on CPDSC initiatives, including the upcoming Brett Pearson Run. The CPDSC tackles issues such as substance abuse and misuse, as well as mental illness. “Also, unfortunately, through the tragedy of my own family – suicide,” said Nicole. Her son, 16-year-old Brett, died by suicide on Nov. 20, 2006. She found him that day when she returned home to Carleton Place from her government job in Ottawa. Important message Talking about the unthinkable may prevent a death. “Suicide is a really, really difficult topic to speak about,” said Nicole. “I wasn’t sure how I was going to bring it into the schools.

But I found a way.” Through the CPDSC, she’s had a lot of support. “We’ve been in the schools for six years, almost seven years,” said Nicole. “We started right away after my son’s death.” At present, the CPDSC has given more than 100 presentations in Lanark County schools. “We’ve reached close to 5,000 students and adults,” said Nicole. Furthermore, the work of the CPDSC is being recognized by a number of professional organizations, including the Ottawa Police Service. “They are seeking information from us on how they can get the presentation into Ottawa schools,” said Nicole. “I am in communication with them.” “We need to be proud of the

work our committee has done over time,” she continued, “and proud as a community of what has been accomplished in Carleton Place and Lanark County.” School presentations in Carleton Place encompass the assistance of Open Doors and the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) community services officer. “We are all working together to bring information about drug abuse, alcohol abuse, mental illness and suicide to students,” said Nicole. Every suicide impacts in the region of 10 people (survivors), and the pain can carry on for many years. “I am a survivor of suicide,” said Pearson. The CPDSC is hopeful support and funding of area organizations continues – to help prevent sui-

SAFETY TIPS Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Installing a carbonmonoxide alarm near the sleeping areas of your home will alert you to the presence of this deadly gas. It is a good idea to invest in a batteryoperated alarm that will continue to work during power failures. THE EMC - A/CP26 - Thursday, September 26, 2013

cides and provide individuals in the community with resources. In May of this year, the Ottawa Citizen highlighted a study involving 22,000 young people between the ages of 12 and 17. One of the questions asked: Do you personally know someone who has died by suicide? One in five reported they did. “It is so important we continue our messages in the schools,” said Nicole. “Communities must come together.” In order for the CPDSC to get its message out, local members of the OPP have been extremely helpful. Town councillors Louis Antonakos and Jerry Flynn both sit on the CPDSC. “Coun. Antonakos and I are very proud to work with this or-

ganization,” said Flynn. “We are proud to work with this organization, we are proud to work with you, Nicole,” he said. “You deliver a message that everyone needs to hear, and you articulate it so well.” “You are touching so many people, you are making such a difference,” Flynn continued. “You never know who you are saving.” “Nicole, I think Jerry said it all,” stated mayor Wendy LeBlanc. “We certainly admire the work you’ve done, the work the committee is doing.” “I’ve been hearing many good things about Lanark County,” said Nicole. I hope we can continue on this path.” For more information, visit www.cpdrugstrategy.com.

Art of the Sunflower Show and Sale runs Sept. 22 to 29 at Herb Garden By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

Community – The sunflower stands proud, tall and straight, even with a head full of seeds. Running from Sept. 22 to 29, don’t miss the Art of the Sunflower Show and Sale, which takes place at the Herb Garden just outside Almonte (3840 Old Almonte Road). Inspired by this year’s sunflower crop at Kricklewood Farm in Frankville (owned by Dale Horeczy and Brad Daily), the event features 50 works of art created by a number of area artists and photographers, including Jan Gilbert, Jeff Gilbert, Jacquie Christiani, Suzette Macskimming, Danielle Donders and William Davidson. On Sunday, Sept. 22, many hardy souls braved the cooler temperatures and grey skies for an opening reception, which included a live auction and refreshments.

There’s no more exciting atmosphere than an auction. Father and son auctioneers from Perth, Jim and Trevor Hands, had guests competing for many of the pieces up for grabs. Hands Auction Inc. is a third generation auction company. Proceeds from the week-long Art of the Sunflower Show and Sale benefit the Table Community Food Centre in Perth. The goal of the organization is to ensure everyone in the community has enough safe, good quality food to have a healthy life. A popular agri-tourism attraction, the Herb Garden encompasses nurseries and gardens, as well as a labyrinth, and heritage barn, and the Comfrey Cottage Artisan Boutique and Bergamot Barn Art Gallery. The property, owned by George and Gerry Bedard, is home to Herbfest, which is held every July. For more information about the Art of the Sunflower Show and Sale www.herbgarden.on.ca, www.kricklewoodfarm. com or www.thetablecfc.org.

Mississippi Mills councillors request that river water levels be evaluated By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

News – At their meeting Sept. 17, Mississippi Mills Committee of the Whole passed a motion regarding a presentation asking the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) to reopen the town’s water management plan. The committee has approved an amended presentation to be brought to the Toronto-based MNR, outlining their desire to see the water management plan reopened immediately to reassess the water levels in the Mississippi River, as was requested by the standing advisory committee. In the presentation, the committee

calls attention to the Reach 18 Appleton Wetland, a soft maple swamp located upstream of Almonte, and its deteriorating condition. It is estimated that at least 60 per cent of the trees there are either dead or dying. The presentation reports that in 2006, the water management plan for Reach 18 was established to set the water levels at between 116.7 to 118 metres at the first Almonte dam, setting in place the water levels that have been in existence since 2004. Within two years, the soft maple forest at Reach 18 began showing signs of distress, while a similar soft maple forest at Lavaelle Creek Wetland, located upstream of Appleton adjacent to Glen

Isle, remains healthy and unharmed. Maple trees, according to the report, can survive if water levels remain below the base of the tree and the topmost roots are able to breathe. If underwater for two or more years, however, the trees will begin to die. The presentation to the MNR requests that the water management plan be reopened and water levels evaluated. Continuous high water levels, it points out, could be damaging the maple swamp, but it could be revived if action is taken quickly. The committee was largely in support of the presentation, but there was debate over whether it was worth sending a group of Mississippi Mills coun-

cillors to meet with the Minister of Natural Resources. “We need to follow through with this request,” said Coun. John Edwards. “Our residents expect it – it’s the least we can do.” Coun. Shaun McLaughlin was also in support of sending a group to Toronto, saying that this maple swamp is “our backyard” and that the preservation of the swamp is an important issue. Others, though, were less keen on the idea. “I don’t think it’s worth spending the money to travel to see a guy who doesn’t want to reopen the report,” said mayor John Levi.

In a separate interview, Diane Smithson, the town’s chief administrative officer, said that the town had a meeting with the ministry in 2012 but that it fell through. MNR representatives said they didn’t have the resources available to reopen the plan. This time, Committee of the Whole carried a motion to send a group of four town representatives to meet with the ministry and present the report. “It’s important that we stand behind this issue,” said Edwards. Coun. Duncan Abbott will join Edwards, McLaughlin and Smithson on the trip to Toronto in the near future. The motion was carried by five of the nine present members.

TIPS AND ADVICE FROM OUR LOCAL EXPERTS!

SPACE HEATER AND WOODSTOVE SAFETY

Even when they’re not your home’s primary source of heat, space heaters and woodstoves are great for warming up chilly rooms. But because these supplemental heat sources have been implicated in many home ďŹ res, they should be operated with a measure of caution. Help reduce the risk of ďŹ re with these tips: Electric space heaters: Radiant space heaters warm whatever is directly in front of them, while convection heaters can help make an entire room feel more comfortable. To use them safely, consider the following tips: Purchase units with an Underwriters Laboratories of Canada (ULC) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA) label. Keep heaters at least one metre from anything that can burn, such as upholstery, curtains, pets or people. Many residential heating ďŹ res involve a portable heater that was positioned too close to combustible material. Keep the unit on a level surface and plug it directly into a wall outlet. Never use a space heater to dry clothing. Select a unit that automatically switches off if the unit tips over. Do not leave a space heater unattended, especially when children or pets are in the room. Do not leave an electric heater on overnight or when you’re sleeping. Woodstoves: Woodstoves are a more efďŹ cient heat source than traditional ďŹ replaces, and many units can keep more than one room warm. However, they also play a role in thousands of residential ďŹ res each year. To keep woodstoves operating safely, consider the following tips: Before buying a stove, check with your local ďŹ re department to get local ordinances on solid fuel burning appliances. Be sure the unit has been tested and is listed with a nationally recognized testing laboratory. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and pay close attention to clearance requirements. If there are no manufacturer’s instructions or a label on the unit, allow a clearance of 1 metre from any combustible item, such as curtains or ooring. Install a oor protector that meets the heating appliance manufacturer’s requirements, and extends at least 45 centimetres on all sides of the heater, unless the manufacturer states otherwise. Have the chimney and stovepipe cleaned and inspected annually. Burn only seasoned hardwood or wood pellets in the stove, according to the manufacturer’s directions. Wait until ashes have cooled before removing them. Transfer ashes in a covered metal container to an outside location 3 metres or more away from the home, and douse them with water.

A major study which was reported in The New England Journal of Medicine added to the growing evidence that stimulating one’s mind by dancing can ward off Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia, much as physical exercise can keep the body ďŹ t. $ANCING ALSO INCREASES COGNITIVE ACUITY AT ALL AGES The study showed that almost no physical activities appeared to offer any protection against dementia. There can be cardiovascular beneďŹ ts of course, but the focus of this study was the mind. There was one important exception: the only physical activity to offer protection against dementia was frequent dancing. Reading - 35% reduced risk of dementia: Bicycling and swimming - 0% Doing crossword puzzles at least four days a week - 47%: Playing golf - 0% $ANCING FREQUENTLY That was the greatest risk reduction of any activity studied, cognitive or physical.

ÂŤ Janice Crowe, Director GET READY FOR WINTER

As the days get shorter and nights get longer we are all too well what’s around the corner. It’s time to get ready for winter. As we still have some nice days ahead of us (that means getting it done now and avoid freezing our ďŹ ngers off) it’s time to do a quick check of your outside. Keeping the cold blasts of winter outside where they belong takes some planning and not a lot of regular maintenance. A quick walk around checking out doors, windows, drier vents, outside plugs or any other area that cold wind might penetrate. Start off by checking your windows and doors. The caulking plays a very large part in keeping winter out. Is it cracked, damaged, falling off or even there to start with? Using a good quality exterior exible caulking around all doors and windows will have a large effect on drafts. A product like a FLEXTRA will last for many years. Be sure to remove any old or loose caulking with a utility knife or chisel. Whether stripping around doors either adjust it or replace it. Check the bottom door sweeps and do the same. There is an open cell foam tape that can be used around doors and windows for an added help on poor ďŹ tting doors and windows. For older windows that need to operate for the summer but are very drafty in the winter there is a seal and peel product available that will help keep the cold winter winds out but can easily be removed for the summer. Some windows can be covered with a see through heat shrink plastic. A little planning now can go a long way in making your house more comfortable this winter and maybe save on some of your heating costs. You got to like that.

PLANT NOW FOR SPRING

I’ve heard all of the excuses for not planting bulbs in fall for spring ower production. Too much work – Nothing is easier than planting a bulb. Dig, Drop and Done. I never remember. – I’m reminding you now. It’s a logical ďŹ nal step to the job of cleaning the annuals out in autumn. The deer eat the owers in early spring. – Choose deer resistant varieties. For example the sunny daffodils and other narcissus are usually left alone by the critters. So are the beautiful June owering Allium. The squirrels dig them up – The internet would not survive without the hundreds of tips written on combating this problem...Wirecloth, bloodmeal, SKoot etc etc etc My bulbs don’t come up in the spring. – Buy good bulbs from reputable source and plant in well drained soil. The bulbs are in the way when I plant my spring annuals. – Buy early owering varieties. The garden centre can help you with your choices. A little work now can yield huge rewards in spring. At the end of a long winter what could be more inspiring than a palette of tulips, daffodils, crocus, or hyacinths..all before the last snow is melted and before you even go into your garden next spring. Now is the time and there really is no excuse for missing out.

ÂŤ Dave Flatters, Garden Specialist REALLY ROUGH DAY?

Operation Christmas Child’s shoebox presents help children in need worldwide Community – Children in developing countries receive a touch of Christmas through Operation Christmas Child. A simple shoebox will brighten the life of an underprivileged child and show them that someone in another part of the world cares about their happiness. Last year, Operation Christmas Child reached the milestone of delivering to children around the world 103,720,570 boxes collected worldwide since 1993. The Canadian total given for 2012 was 662,312 with Ontario residents contributing 255,661. Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse and is the largest Christmas project of its kind. Shoebox gifts are given to children suffering in war, poverty, famine, disease and natural disaster, regardless of race, gender, religion or ethnicity. Through the giving of this simple gift and message of hope, these young and often forgotten survivors learn they are loved. Samaritan’s Purse also provides disaster relief in countries around the world that are in need including Canada. They respond to humanitarian crises with physical aid and a message of hope. In Canada, their Disaster Response Units, several tractor trailers outfitted with generators, pumps, hand tools, and safety gear, equip staff and volunteers to help in a tangible way for Canadians in need. In central Ontario, heavy rains and melting ice and snow created a devastating combination. Samaritan’s Purse helped homeowners clean out and prepare their homes for rebuild when several communities in the Muskoka region were forced to declare states of emergency. In southern Alberta, record river levels and melting snow from the Rocky Mountains combined with heavy rainfall to produce major floods in the city of Calgary as well as other southern Alberta communities. Three Samaritan’s Purse Disaster Relief Units and multi-

tudes of volunteers responded to help affected communities. Samaritan’s Purse works in more than 100 countries worldwide, enabling them to take Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes to many places. Though they distribute boxes in those countries where they are working, if they are invited to bring boxes to other countries they will respond. Canadian boxes are usually sent to West Africa, Central America, and South America, as well as Haiti; and when requested, to other countries where, because of natural disasters or unexpected events, the shoe boxes are a powerful message of hope. Samaritan’s Purse also provides food, clothing, blankets, shelter, clean water, sleeping bags, medical supplies and hospital equipment. Filling a gift-filled shoe box is something personal that a Canadian can do to let a child, who has suffered greatly, know that he or she is valued. For many children, the shoebox is the only gift they have ever received, something many of us find hard to imagine, Operation Christmas Child brings hope for today, and Samaritan’s Purse provides resources for a better tomorrow. This year, the boxes will be shipped to Argentina, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Haiti. What gifts go in the shoeboxes? • Toys: stuffed animals, dolls, building blocks, balls, small cars, musical items (harmonica, whistles, etc.) • School supplies: pens, pencils, sharpeners, crayons, coloured pencils, erasers, notebooks, colouring books, solar calculators • Hygiene products: toothbrushes (customs will not allow toothpaste), soap (placed in a plastic bag), hair brushes, combs, hair clips and acces-

sories, small towels, etc. • Other: individually wrapped hard candy in a sealable bag, clothing (Tshirts, socks, hats, gloves and scarfs), sunglasses, flip flops, toy jewelry or lightweight tools. • A personal note and/or a photo of yourself or your family is appreciated by the child receiving the box. Choose to pack your box for a girl or boy, ages two to four, five to nine, or 10 to 14. The $7 that is suggested you include, if you are able, is to help with the shipping of the boxes. You may receive a thank you letter from one of these precious children as others have in previous years. In Cuya, Guatemala, a single mother was crying as she thanked the Operation Christmas Child team for the gifts they brought to their community, especially the gift for her daughter. In her daughter’s shoebox was a pair of shoes which went perfectly with her school uniform. The mother had not known how she was going to afford to buy the shoes before the school year started, as she couldn’t find enough work to pay for them. Another young child in Africa with a gift of drawing but could not buy the supplies he needed received a box from a generous Canadian family who had filled it with materials that he could be used to continue his drawing. These boxes do make a great difference in children’s lives! Not only do they show that they haven’t been forgotten, but often are the answer to some physical need in their life. We are very fortunate to live in a country where help is available if we are in need but in these countries there is no help available. They have to scrape by with the bare necessities never being able to give their children those things that bring that special smile to their faces. See SHOEBOX page 31

What should be in a hunter’s backpack? • a reliable source of fire; • a whistle; • a compass with a map of the area; • a GPS with spare batteries; • a flashlight; • a small survival kit (sold in big box stores, the size of a tin of sardines); • a small first-aid kit; • rope; • brass wire (for building a shelter or a snare); • an orange garbage bag; • a water bottle; • trail marking tape. If the weather is cold, bring along a small thermos with a hot drink, and don’t forget a few energy bars or a snack. This pack should

be with you every time you step out into the bush. Think of it not as your suitcase, but as your survival kit; you should always have with you the basics you’d need to stay warm and protected if you ever lost your way or got injured and couldn’t walk out. Every time you go hunting, tell someone where you are going and when you plan to be back. Ensure that you contact this person in case of delay, either by cell or satellite phone or with the new satellite messenger technology, called “SPOT”. It is also recommended that hunters complete a first aid and survival course before venturing into the wilderness. Happy hunting!

DEER HUNTERS!

Garden Market

One of the most important pieces of equipment for hunters is a well-packed backpack or shoulder bag. Loaded with a few select essentials, it should be taken every time you go scouting or hunting. Be sure to choose a pack that is comfortable, weatherproof, and noiseless (doesn’t make swooshing sounds as you walk). Waterproof camouflage fabric is preferable but not essential. The extras you pack may depend on the distance you have to cover between your vehicle and your camp, but some articles should always stay in the pack. Here is a basic list of the items to be included: • a multi-purpose tool with a blade and small saw; • a survival blanket;

Three things to master As deer hunting season approaches, you’re likely beginning to feel the itch. This is a good time to review the secrets to a successful deer hunt. Sure, hunting’s not something you learn by the book, but better to brush up on theory than have to eat your pride with an empty freezer this fall. Taking care of details can make all the difference between returning home empty-handed or with pride written all over your face. SCENT A deer’s first line of defense is its sense of smell, so take every precaution to mask your own scents. A scent eliminator can be used on your clothes to remove any odors except for those present in the surrounding environment. Know how to take advantage of the wind by deciding which way it is blowing and where your game is travelling from before you set up your stand or blind. Pay careful attention to the lubricants that you use on your weapons. SOUND Deer have a very well developed sense of hearing, and any unusual noise can

startle them before you have a chance to shoot. Be sure to minimize any abnormal sounds coming from your stand or blind that could give you away. Wear a safety vest made of fabric rather than noisy vinyl or plastic. MOVEMENT A deer does not use its vision as much at its A good hunter always carries a sense of smell and hearing, but it is still a fac- backpack that contains a few estor that should not be neglected.

Ultimate anti-hero rules the big screen once again MOVIE: Riddick: Rule the Dark STARRING: Vin Diesel, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff and Dave Bautista DIRECTOR: David Twohy RATING: PG Arts – It’s kind of interesting to be cheering for the murderous psychopath. Though I suppose that was always the charm of the Riddick films. Betrayed by the Necromongers Riddick (Vin Diesel) is left for dead on a strange and harsh world. It’s the kind of planet where death waits for the unwary. In other words Riddick is right at home. Riddick claws his way back from the brink of death. Then he claws his way to the top of the food chain. Eventually he finds a mercenary outpost, and sends out a distress call making sure anyone who hears it knows who sent it. Then he waits. It isn’t long before two mercenary groups show up. The

My Take MARK HASKINS

first rag tag group, led by Santana (Jordi Molla), is only interested in killing Riddick and claiming the reward. The second more disciplined team, led by Boss Johns (Matt Nable), seems to be after something else. Riddick doesn’t care what they want. All he wants is one of their ships, and as long as they give it to him he won’t kill them all. Neither group is about to give up a ship, but Riddick knows something they don’t. He knows the rains are coming, and he’s seen what the rains bring. If they don’t get off this planet before the storm hits no one’s getting off.

Riddick: Rule the Dark takes us right back to the beginning. It’s Riddick versus the monsters in a battle that completely recaptures the intensity and thrill of the first film. It has those same elements of horror, action and that same twisted humour. Of course this time around we’re all well acquainted with the character of Riddick so the fun here is watching him do what he does best. You almost feel sorry for the mercs. There’s a pretty decent cast set up to be fodder for Riddick. Jordi Molla opens things up nicely as Santana. It’s not easy to play the kind of a psychopath that makes Riddick seem a

hero and provide comic relief, but Molla does an excellent job. Matt Nable does a fair job of portraying the straight and narrow soldier, and Dave Bautista provides a great climactic fight scenes. Then there’s Katee Sackhoff who plays Dahl. She steals her fair share of the spotlight with some great lines and a mean right hook. Of course this is really the Vin Diesel show. Riddick is one of the great anti-heroes, and I love the way Diesel plays him. When he’s in character everything about him becomes dangerous. In this third installment Diesel hasn’t lost a step or that air of menace. There’s never a doubt that Riddick is the most dangerous thing in the dark. Riddick is a slick film that gets back to its roots while it opens up possibilities for the future. I can’t wait for the next one. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Following that closely, the Perth Community Choir’s 33rd annual fall musical returns to Full Circle Theatre on Nov. 7, this time with the beautiful and wonderfully musical The Secret Garden. The musical won the Tony Awards for Best Musical and Best Score in 1980, combining a soaring score with a heartwarming story. The Secret Garden is a favourite with those who know it, and is sure to become a favourite with those who have the chance to see it this November. 2 Women Productions is also returning for a third season of grown-up storytelling at FCT, with their fall show set for Nov. 23.

Arts – The 2013-2014 season at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre (FCT) kicked off this Wednesday (Sept. 25) with a true-tolife adventure story when Film Night International (FiNI) returns to FCT for their third season at the ground-level, barrierfree theatre.

DEATH NOTICE

KING John Kenneth (Retired Almonte doctor passes away) Our dear father passed away on September 22, 2013, at the age of 84 on the Rosamond Wing of the Almonte General Hospital following complications due to a stroke and Alzheimer’s Disease. Born in Moncton, N.B., April 8, 1929, son of the late John and Pearl King, twin brother to Barry, Jean and the late Dorothy King. He was the beloved husband to Alma (nee Cooley) for 58 years and the father to John (Marilyn), Tim (Pam) and Heather (David). Dad graduated from UNB in 1950 with his BSc in Biology and from McGill in 1954 where he obtained his medical degree. John interned (general surgery) for five years in Montreal and Saint John, New Brunswick. A request for a locum from Dr. R. Bach brought Dad to Almonte, in 1959. A one year locum turned into 47 years of medical practice and devotion to the people of Almonte. We are convinced that if Dad were not faced by the challenges of Alzheimer’s that he would still be practicing medicine today. Dad was an accomplished athlete in many sports, excelling in track and rugby and was inducted into the Fredericton Sports Wall of Fame in 1999 along with his relay team that won the Canadian Championship in 1947. Even when Dad was not working directly with his patients he was involved in charity work through the Masons (Mississippi Lodge No. 147) and the Knights Templar in Alymer for 40 years. Dad’s intellectual mind, sense of humour, his caring and compassionate manner impacted many lives over the span of his life. Family and Friends Celebrated Dad’s Life at C. R. GAMBLE FUNERAL HOME & CHAPEL INC. 127 Church St., Almonte, ON. 613-256-3313 on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 from 11am to 1pm. Celebration of Life occurred the same day in the Chapel at 1pm. Reception followed in the Comba Suite of Gamble Funeral Home. Private family inurnment. A special thanks goes out to all the staff at the Rosamond Wing in Almonte who made Dad’s last days peaceful and who were an incredible support to our family. Thank-you to Dr. H. Abramenko for her medical attention over the years and to a special care-giver, Nancy Munro who has been a tremendous help to our family. If desired, John’s family would appreciate memorial donations to the Alzheimer’s Society. Condolences & Tributes www.crgamble.com

COE, Charlie In loving memory of my dear husband, Charlie, who passed away September 27, 2011.

In tears we saw you sinking, And watched you pass away, Our hearts were almost broken, We wanted you to stay. But when we saw you sleeping, So peaceful free from pain, How could we wish you back with us, To suffer that again? It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home.

We made our vows together, And said “till death do we part� So when God came and took your hand, My whole life fell apart. No one knows the heartache, I try so hard to hide, No one knows how many times, I’ve broken down and cried. When I look back upon our lives, Just one thing makes me glad, That you chose me to share with you, The precious years we had.

GIFF, Ronald Clarence “Butch� “Uncle B� In loving memory of a dear brother and uncle who passed away September 28, 2006. We little knew that morning, That God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone; For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same; But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Forever loved and always in our hearts Your Family

McLAREN, Andrew – In loving memory of a dear son, who was tragically killed 17 years ago by a drunk driver. October 19, 1977 – September 28, 1996. A million times we’ve needed you, A million time we’ve cried, If love could have saved you, You never would have died. Things we feel most deeply, Are the hardest things to say, Our dearest one we loved you, In a very special way. If we could have one lifetime wish, The dream that could come true, We’d pray to God with all our heart, For yesterday and you. Love, Dad and Mom

MARKS, Rob- In loving memory of our Daddy, Son, Brother and Uncle Robert Marks, February 23, 1973-September 16, 2001. In memory of our Grandpa Levi (Lew)Baker, May 10, 1905-September 22, 1971. There is a family who misses you And finds time long since you went. We think of you daily and hourly But try to be brave and content. Tears that we shed are in silence And we breath a sigh of regret, For you were ours and we remember Though all the world forgets. Always in our hearts, Nick, Kyle & Kassie Dad, Mom & Chris Cindy, John & Dana.

Learn about computers, Internet at Algonquin College Perth Campus Community – If you’ve always struggled to find files in your computer or to email pictures to your grandchildren in Calgary, now’s the time to learn how to navigate through your computer and be a confident user of the Internet. The Algonquin College Perth Campus will host computer and Internet courses this fall, as part of its fall 2013 Continuing Education program.

From Computers for Beginners to Internet: Beyond the Basics, there are four mini-courses scheduled to allow participants to get a full understanding of the course content without having to commit to an extended period of time. Algonquin College Perth Campus instructors Tanya Gray and Anita Warwick-Wall are well versed in computers and they make the learning process fun, ultimately eliminat-

ing the intimidation factor. “When students first come to class, they’re often worried they won’t be able to keep up,” explains Gray. “So it’s really gratifying to see them navigate confidently through the computer system and around the Internet by the time we’re wrapping up the course.” New this year is the computer help workshops, which take place Sept. 30 and Nov. 18. The college is hosting these two separate workshops this

fall, allowing up to 12 participants to register and get one-on-one guidance from an instructor on specific questions related to their own computer and needs. Participants will be able to email their questions ahead of time and the two-hour session will be the perfect opportunity to get their questions answered. For community members who want to build up their resumé, they can enroll in the Microsoft Office courses

scheduled for this fall. The courses include Microsoft Office for Beginners, Microsoft Office Advanced and Microsoft PowerPoint. The Continuing Education courses are offered to anyone over 18 years of age and registration is now open. Ready to register?

Community – A shoreline stewardship manager with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) is the guest speaker at the Oct. 2 meeting of the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society. Andrea Kymko’s presentation will cover the importance of natural shorelines and ways to protect water quality while limiting shoreline erosion. As well, she will discuss how to establish a shoreline buffer using native plants. Kymko has a Bachelor of Science from Trent University with a joint major in Biology and Environmental Science. She started with RVCA in 2006 as a conser-

vation lands technician, and soon moved into managing the lake planning program. In this capacity, she actively partners with local lake associations and other government agencies throughout eastern Ontario to develop community action plans on shoreline stewardship. Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society meetings are the first Wednesday of the month at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall (24 Water Street, Portland). Admission is free to society members ($15 annually for 9 meetings a year) and $5 a meeting for non-members. Refreshments and door prizes are provided following the guest speaker.

Tickets to the society’s annual Christmas dinner, open to anyone, will also be on sale at the Oct. 2 meeting. The dinner is Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 6 p.m. at the Westport Legion. The $25 ticket includes hors d’oeuvres, turkey dinner, dessert and beverages, as well as entertainment by the Celtic Combo. Tickets are also available through Janette Berry at 613-273-3560 or janby@googley. net.
