Community – It’s that time of year again: the Salvation Army Kettle Campaign is back in full force in Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills.

So, as you’re decking your halls, trimming the tree and preparing for your holiday dinner, take a moment to think about the people who don’t have the opportunity to do those things, and make a donation.

“There are so many people who can’t afford the holidays,” said Major Faith Cameron of the Salvation Army.

“It’s a nice gesture for people to give a bit of help towards those families.”

The kettle campaign launched at both Steve’s Independent Grocer in Carleton Place and Patrice’s Independent Grocer in Almonte on Friday, Nov. 15.

Volunteers will now man those stations, plus additional ones at the Walmart and LCBO in Carleton Place, until 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 24.

“Our goal is to raise over $200,000 this year,” said Melba Jarvis, the local campaign co-ordinator.

“We’ve been raising more and more money each year, and even though we fell just short of our goal last year, we’re hopeful we can pull together to reach our goal this year.”

Three areas will be contributing towards that goal this year, Jarvis said: Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills.

The money raised through the campaign will, as always, go towards the Salvation Army Christmas hampers and towards the social work done by the organization year-round.

While the goal is an ambitious one, Jarvis said they have some interesting ways of collecting the funds.

“We have a few friendly competitions each year,”

EQAO literacy scores show long-term upward trend: UCDSB News – A review of provincial testing results within the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) shows our students are progressing well in the areas of elementary reading and writing.

More work must still be done in mathematics and the board has launched an initiative to help elementary teachers improve instructional practices and our students improve results, Director David K. Thomas told trustees Nov. 13.

An interim report by Thomas on Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) standardized testing results shows a ten-year upward trend in elementary scores in literacy, the director said in a report to trustees. The report was requested by the board as part of its update of the accountability framework.

In primary writing over the past ten years, our scores have risen from 52 per cent of students attaining levels 3 and 4 to 76 per cent. Junior reading scores have jumped from 52 per cent to 74 per cent, and junior writing scores have increased from 45 per cent to 71 per cent. “We have clearly delineated our work in numeracy and literacy by moving the culture of our classrooms so that our students are involved in genuine learning that is rooted in the Ontario curriculum,� said Thomas. “...

Responsive teachers are embracing this new pedagogy and our classrooms

are becoming places of learning as opposed to places of schooling.�

Board staff members are working hard to improve students’ mathematics scores, he added. While Grade 9 academic math scores are historically higher than ten years ago, with an improvement from 67 per cent to 77 per cent, more work overall in both applied and academic math instruction must be done.

Thomas described mathematics as a “significant issue.� “We have to look at preparing our teachers, particularly at the primary and junior level, and give math more attention,� he said.

Thomas reminded trustees the board has implemented a new charter under its CREW Strategic Plan simply called Math. Through this charter, elementary teachers will gain the confidence to enable their students to acquire the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum and to better challenge, respond and extend student thinking in mathematics. The charter is addressing junior math initially with a focus on algebra and basic numeracy to provide a solid foundation for success in mathematics in high school.

according to Ministry of Education requirements. The board had, for provincial compliance purposes, in-year revenue of $348,802,048 and expenses of $348,205,830 with an in-year surplus of $596,218 for the year 2012-2013.

Additionally, the external auditors have provided an unqualified opinion as assurance to the board that the statements were prepared in accordance with the required basis of accounting and are free from misstatements. • Trustees re-examined a board facilities report from 2008 that states that over the subsequent 25 years the province will save more than $52 million from the changes implemented by the board through the Boundary 2020 process. The board again called for the province to allow it to use the savings generated by these local courageous decisions to modernize the UCDSB school system.

The board wants the province to take the report into consideration during the Ministry of Education’s School Board Efficiencies and Modernization Consultations.

Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

Gord Brown announces public meeting on Rideau Canal set for Dec. 5 in Lombardy News – On Nov. 18, Gord Brown, Member of Parliament for LeedsGrenville announced the date of his public meeting on the Rideau Canal.

“There has been a lot of work taking place this fall by our member partners in the Living and Visiting the Rideau project and I am pleased at the progress that has been made and excited to see the final report,” explains Brown.

“I will be holding a public meeting on at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5 at the Lombardy Agricultural Hall to add to this process,” he adds.

Since the beginning of October, the Rideau Roundtable has held a series of meetings and brought together a number of interested stakeholders to come up with an effective strategy to create a collective re-visioning of the canal to ensure that it would live up to its potential as a UNESCO World Heritage Site now, and into the future.

With the support of Brown, the United Counties of Leeds & Grenville, Parks Canada, Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (with Frontenac and 1000 Islands CDFC), the Rideau Heritage Route Tourism Association, Lanark County, the Town of Smiths Falls, and the Ministry of Tourism and Culture for the Province of Ontario, this project evolved into the Rideau Canal Visitor Experience Opportunities Concept (VEOC).

The VEOC encourages stake-

holders to take an active, coordinated and collaborative role in the visioning of programs, services, and activities that will facilitate meaningful experiences and opportunities for guests to the region to connect with the essence of the region’s natural and cultural character, and the heritage of its people.

This approach builds upon experience gained in similar successful VEOCs conducted for the Historic Fortifications of Quebec City, Grosse Ile National Historic Site, Gros Morne National Park and the Terra Novas, in Newfoundland and the Four Windows on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. In Fundy, this stakeholder engagement process received a tourism award.

The Rideau Canal VEOC process occurred during October and November with a series of six, twoday, facilitated discussions with small stakeholders groups, made of people from and wide array of interests and backgrounds from specific geographical regions of the Rideau Corridor.

These groups were tasked with brainstorming new experience concepts that would create a base for collaboration and action aimed at enhancing the financial sustainability of the canal and adjacent communities, and ensuring the canal meets its potential as a world class site, vibrant and animated.

Throughout the VEOC sessions, a number of inter-linked challenges were addressed, such as: 1) Responding to the values and

interests of guests and residents with relevant and responsive programs and services; 2) Strategically expanding the Rideau Canal’s world heritage site image and profile, though opportunities to connect with the heritage of the Rideau Canal, its related communities and landscapes, and to enhance the reputation of it as sustainable heritage corridor; 3) Increasing and diversifying the number of visitors who can benefit from the experience opportunities offered throughout the corridor; 4) Identifying opportunities for collaborative and strategic investment in the growth and evolution of the Rideau Canal as a world heritage destination, thereby benefitting the economic, social and environmental well-being of Rideau Corridor communities; and 5) Achieving the above in accordance with Canada’s Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Sustainable Tourism.

There were a range of ideas and

At the meeting he will accept written comments and ideas and, time permitting, allow individuals to briefly explain their submissions.

“The submissions will be used in the final report,” he says.

In January 2014, a final report on what has been learned in the VEOC sessions will be released to the public for review. The next steps will be for all interested parties to evaluate these ideas, identify some items for commitment and to start making things happen.

The VEOC or Visitor Experience Opportunity “Concept” is intended to be a living document which may be used to set the foundation for work that will hopefully guide the direction of the Rideau corridor into the future.

This grassroots project has something for everyone and has the potential to engage a broader audience in creating a welcoming, more economically viable and sustainable Rideau Canal and corridor for years to come.

Christmas Celtic Kitchen Ceilidh Dec. 6 at the Perth Museum Community – Help the Friends of Murphys Point Park and Heritage Mica Days raise some funds while getting into the spirit of the season Friday, Dec. 6 at a Christmas Celtic Kitchen Ceilidh.

The event will be held at the Perth Museum and Visitor Centre (11 Gore Street East) from 7:30 to 11 p.m. and will feature Celtic music by Cratur, seasonal snacks and beverages, as well as a fabulous silent auction and door prizes. Some of the silent auction items collected so far include: a family membership to the Diefenbunker; gift certificate towards brewing a batch of wine; CDs and handmade jewelry from Pat Moore; CDs from Linda Greni-

initiatives generated. With some actions “doable” immediately; some actionable in the next few years, and some, when opportunity permits.

The process, though future oriented, has proven to be immediately relevant, and has already served to bring different groups together to move ideas forward in collaboration for the betterment of their businesses, their communities and ultimately for Rideau corridor.

“I am extremely pleased at how well these sessions have been working and the ideas that are coming forward,” says Brown.

“I am also encouraging people to take part in an online survey,” he explains. “The information gathered in this survey will stand with final VEOC report for consideration.”

The survey can be accessed at: www.surveymonkey.com/s/RideauExperiences.

“The public meeting I am holding will also be used to generate ideas and comments to add to this process,” he notes.

The benefits of an enclosed cargo trailer When it comes to hauling your property enclosed cargo trailers offer maximum protection, both from the elements during a harsh Canadian winter, and from theft.

It is this feature that really distinguishes enclosed trailers from flat-bed utility and sports models.

Enclosed cargo trailers can be useful in a range of situations. For example, if you’re in the landscaping or construction business and need to bring large equipment to work sites on a daily basis, an enclosed trailer can be a convenient and simple way to do so. They’re also a good solution for moving recreational equipment, from ATVs to jet skis to camping gear. Finally, enclosed cargo trailers are perhaps the best option for hauling your furniture and other belongings when moving homes.

TM

Both cars and motorcycles can tow enclosed cargo trailers and they are available in a range of structures, sizes, and shapes.

Montreuil is using the event to obtain live performance video footage for use in her promotional packages for area booking agents and festival directors and this seemed like a perfect opportunity.

Also on the bill for the evening is the Kingstonbased duo of Anna Sudac and Jesse MacMillan. Sudac is from Kingston and has spent years working in the performing arts in Toronto as well as Kingston. Montreuil felt it would be nice to bring some fresh, new talent to the area and Sudac seemed like the perfect choice. This event will have a cash bar and is a fundraiser for LGBT Lanark County Civitan.

Also, anyone who takes video footage throughout the evening and provides it to Montreuil before leaving will receive their $5 admission back in appreciation. What a great opportunity to contribute to the development of a local area artist and to have a terrific time in the process.

Tickets are on sale at Shadowfax and Tickets Please and will also be available at the door. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the show will starts at 8 p.m. A cash bar will be available.

Community – Some would call it a midlife crisis and others would simply say that it’s about time. When local area sax player and singer-songwriter, Shelley Montreuil, gave her notice to her landlord that November would be her last month living and working out of the Old Perth Shoe Factory building she knew there was no turning back.

Having spent 20-plus years writing and performing music from jazz to blues to rock and roll and Janis Joplin, Montreuil is somewhat of a fixture in the Lanark County area but she has only recently decided to follow her heart and spend more dedicated time doing what she loves most – writing and performing music. And so, the funky loft space is being traded in for a 30 foot RV, a home on wheels where she can always have her music and her web development business at her fingertips no matter where she happens to be. A gutsy move (some may use different adjectives) that can only lead to new experiences the plan is already turning itself into something wonderful.

As a goodbye to her current live-work space at the Old Perth Shoe Factory, Montreuil is staging a four-band extravaganza set for this Friday, Nov. 22.

“Treaties were signed between First Nations and the Crown (Government of Canada). The struggle to have the treaty relationship respected should not be the responsibility of native people alone,� he continued. “As we are all treaty people, we too have a responsibility to ensure that our obligations and duties under the treaties are upheld by our government. Our intent is to show that non-native people not only do care about the issues the petition raises but also care

The petition was inspired by a number of political realities facing First Nations peoples, including the fact that Ontario elementary schools receive on average $11,000 per student while schools on reserves receive on average $6,000 per student.

In addition, there were 168 contaminated water advisories reported in 127 First Nations communities in 2011, while real per capita transfers

from Ottawa to the provinces for health and social programs were up 40 per cent since 1996, while federal payments for reserve infrastructure (such as housing) were down 40 per cent over the same period.

Since the launch of their petition at a Sunday service at West Hill United in July, the Public Service Alliance of Canada, Unifor, Kairos, the Social Justice Project of the Southeast Toronto Presbytery of United Church, and the Caring Alliance, among other

groups, have endorsed and circulated the document, and thousands have signed on.

Holiday Hop Community – The streets of Almonte were a little busier the evening of Nov. 14 thanks to the Holiday Shop Hop event that took place on Mill Street.

Stores on the town’s main downtown drag stayed open past their usual 5 p.m. closing time to display their holiday window displays, left, and kick off the Christmas shopping season.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Food security must be addressed in our communities DEAR EDITOR: Thank you very much for your recent commentary on the rising cost of food in the tri-county area (“Food for thought,” Nov. 7). The editorial noted some alarming facts and figures about the rising cost of food in the area, and the number of people who live in a state of food insecurity.

I agree wholeheartedly with the advice that was provided in the commentary; namely, that we should all make donations to local food banks in an attempt to help our neighbours fight off hunger. It is the very least we can do to help out. At the same time, I urge readers to begin thinking why such conditions exist in our land of plenty. In my view, it is a real blight on our society that 9.3 per cent of people in the tri-county area believe that they cannot afford to put enough food on the table to adequately feed their family.

If 9.3 per cent of the citizens in the tri-county area came down with some sort of serious disease, I would want to make sure that they received all the treatment they required. At the same time, I would want to try to help determine the cause of the disease in order to prevent future outbreaks. The same sort of thinking should be applied to hunger in our community.

Having to use a food bank is a humiliating experience. For the sake of the children whose parents need to use this community resource, we need to address food security. And this, in my view, amounts to going beyond donating to food banks.

COMMENTARY

Zero tolerance Editorial – The holidays carry with them many customs and the Ontario Provincial Police’s (OPP) annual tradition is to keep roadways safe with their annual Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign.

The campaign is set to officially kick off this Saturday (Nov. 23) and will run straight through the holidays, wrapping up on Jan. 2. Throughout the campaign, motorists can expect to experience many festive RIDE stops throughout Lanark County and Leeds and Grenville as police officers check for impaired driving.

While it’s unfortunate traditions like these have to exist, it’s comforting to know the OPP is there enforcing the message of drive sober and arrive alive. The RIDE programs are making strides towards that. According to statistics released by the OPP, in 2011, there were 90,277 impaired driving incidents in Canada but Ontario had the lowest rate among all provinces. The OPP credits public enforcement and education, as well as motorists’ good driving efforts for keeping those numbers down.

There is still much to be done, however. There is no safe amount of alcohol to have in your body when getting behind the wheel. The best method to practice is that of zero tolerance. In the past two Festive RIDE campaigns alone (2011 and 2012), the OPP have doled out 1,208 warn range suspensions (when a driver’s blood alcohol concentration falls between 0.05 to 0.08 range). Warn range suspensions carry with them an immediate loss of licence and motorists are not allowed to drive for a minimum of three days. Over and above those suspensions, the OPP handed out 1,375 impaired driving charges over the last two campaigns.

The OPP is also asking the public to share their personal experiences, tips and thoughts on their Facebook page.

We all contribute to the safety of our roadways so make good decisions this holiday season.

Wreath of waxed leaves brought a bit of joy for Mother Lifestyle – Where Mother got the idea, no one knew.

It certainly wasn’t from Aunt Bertha on the next farm. She was far too practical to do something that took a lot of time and really didn’t amount to a hill of beans when it came to keeping food on the table. No, my sister Audrey said it was probably something she picked up when she lived in New York. Father of course, said he never “heard” of anything so crazy in his whole life!

Fall had settled in, and with the blasts of cold winter already closing in around us, but snow yet to come, Mother decided she would do something to keep the season alive as long as she could.

The lawn at the side of the house still had plenty of fallen maple leaves on the ground, and Mother thought it would give a nice touch to the table at meal times if she could just bring a bit of those rich fall colours indoors. She was going to wax the leaves, and place them on a lace doily all around the spoon holder and the sugar bowl.

A small honey pail held all the pieces of wax that came off the top of

the preserve and pickle jars once they were opened, and Mother would use it instead of buying a whole box of wax at Briscoe’s General Store. That alone should have impressed Father, but it did nothing of the sort. He still thought waxing leaves was right up there with trying to nurse geraniums through the winter once they had lost their bloom, which Mother was prone to do. But Mother paid him no heed.

It was on a Saturday that cold fall day when she sent Audrey and me out to the yard. We were to bring in only those leaves which were perfectly formed, didn’t have a break in them, or a mark on them, and were to be the largest and reddest we could find.

We shoved the fallen leaves around the ground with the toes of our boots and ever so carefully gathered those we thought were exactly what Mother had asked for.

Mother had given us a breadbasket to bring them in, and she told us over and over again to handle them very carefully, laying one on top of the other so they wouldn’t break.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

While Audrey and I were out in the yard picking through the leaves, which by that time in the fall were wet and soggy, Mother was in the kitchen melting the wax from the tops of the opened pickle and preserves jars on the Findlay Oval.

She had spread out pages of the Renfrew Mercury on the bake table, and Audrey and I were told to very, very carefully, lay out the leaves, making sure they were placed gently on the tea towel.

Mother, as carefully as she would wipe a baby’s bottom, dabbed the leaves with a tea towel. She brought the pot over to the bake table and, picking up a leaf at a time by its stem, dipped it News Editors: Laurie Weir, Joe Morin, Ashley Kulp REPORTERS: Howaida Sorour, Tara Gesner, Desmond Devoy, Kelly Kent, Jennifer Westendorp DISTRIBUTION: Lori Sommerdyk, 613-284-0124 ,ext. 27 CLASSIFIEDS/REGIONAL ROUNDUP: Fax: 613-283-5909 Judy Michaelis Email: jmichaelis@perfprint.ca Lee Ann Gilligan Email: lgilligan@perfprint.ca Jennifer Coughlin Email: jcoughlin@perfprint.ca

carefully into the melted wax. The leaf was then put onto yet another tea towel where Mother said anyone who touched it would do so at their own peril!

Father came in for his supper, glanced at the waxed leaves, shook his head, and headed for the wash basin. Not a word was mentioned about the waxed leaves over supper. But Mother rushed us through ‘redding’ up the kitchen that night and had Audrey wipe the redcheckered oilcloth twice to make sure it was good and dry. She then carefully, making a circle around the sugar bowl and spoon holder, laid out the waxed leaves. She overlapped them and Audrey and I thought we had the cleverest mother in all of Renfrew County! With the simple placing of waxed leaves, Mother had turned our plain old table into something grand.

Father complained there was no place to put the coal oil lamp. Mother settled that by pulling down the Coleman lamp that hung over the table and was used only when we had company, as the fragile wicks cost a whole dime at Briscoe’s General Store.

Of course, any wax that was left over was put aside to set, and then cut into blocks and again stored in the little honey pail to use when Mother again put down preserves and pickles.

Nothing was wasted.

Audrey and I thought the leaf display was lovely. And it stayed on the table for the whole week.

Audrey said it was the steady throbbing heat of the Findlay Oval, Father said they had just died a natural death, but by the next Saturday, the leaves had started to curl and after Emerson dropped several spoons from the spoon holder, he said accidently, the leaves started to look the worst for wear.

It was with great reluctance the next Saturday morning, what was left of the leaves was gathered up and tossed into the cook stove. Father said it was time.

After all, that night it was our turn to host the Saturday night house party, and the old pine table was needed for euchre.

A red geranium, which had seen better days, took the place of the wreath of wax leaves. It, and the waxed leaves, was Mother’s way of trying desperately • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published.

individual, when given the right help, can greatly improve their weak areas in literacy, directionality and more. Dyslexia manifests in several ways and it can be mild, moderate or severe in an individual.

Most people with dyslexia can read – up to a point. But auditory processing problems prevent them from hearing all the individual sounds in a word. So they don’t read by sounding out. Instead, they use alternative strategies: context clues (pictures and a predictable or familiar story), the shapes of words, and guessing based on the first letter or two. However, their memories can hold only a limited number of words. So these strategies will fail them by third or fourth grade. Without the right

type of help, they cannot progress any further – no matter how smart they are and how hard they try.

Programs designed to help dyslexics read and write focus first on phonemic (sound) awareness, then work on decoding syllables.

These programs are also multisensory, meaning they engage all the learner’s senses as research has shown this is the way dyslexics learn best.

Dyslexia results from a neurological difference; that is, a brain difference. In a dyslexic, language processing is not sent to the language centre found in the left side of the brain. It goes to the different places, places not set up to process language.

However, it’s never too late for someone with dyslexia to improve

their literacy skills – people in their 80s have improved with tutoring!

If you are interested in learning more about dyslexia and the solutions to dyslexia, you are invited to attend a free information session presented by Laura Mullin, Professional Tutor at Joy of Reading.

The sessions will be held: • Monday, Nov. 25, Carleton Place Public Library Board Room, 7 – 9 p.m. • Tuesday, Nov. 26, Perth Public Library, Upper Meeting Room, 6:30 – 8 p.m. • Thursday, Nov. 28, 52 Abbott Street (ontrac building), Smiths Falls (last door at back, upper board room), 7 - 9 p.m.

Community – The Knights of Columbus of Smiths Falls held a 4th Degree assembly Nov. 5 at their William St. location in town.

The 4th Degree is the highest degree of the order of Knights of Columbus. A Knight is eligible to join the 4th Degree after completing the first, second and third degrees of the order and is thereafter referred to as Sir Knight.

The primary purpose of the Fourth Degree is to foster the spirit of patriotism and to encourage active Catholic citizenship, in addition to the order’s three basic tenets. They are often referred to as the ‘visible arm of the Knights,’ due to the wearing of regalia (naval chapeau, sword, cape, etc.) in parades and social events and on more sombre occasions such as funerals, whereby we honour the passing of a fellow Knight and pay our respects to the surviving family members.

Charity, unity and fraternity are the founding principles of the Knights of Columbus and our venerable founder, Father Michael J. McGivney started our order on March 29, 1882 and is in the process of being canonized at this time.

Our District 4th Degree Assembly (Archbishop J.L Wilhelm Assembly 2783 – currently with more than 100 active 4th Degree members) exists primarily because of the efforts of Knights such as: (current) Worthy Master Tony Noonan; (the late) Former Worthy Master Dick Cordick; Sir Knight Doctor JEM St. Rose; Past District Deputy Joe MacEachern; and Sir Knight George St. Denis, to name but a few. There were 56 original Charter members when the Archbishop J.L Wilhem Assembly 2783 began in 2003.

The ladies of our assembly are instrumental and remain key in the success of all community/parish Knights of Columbus charitable functions and drives in all their respective communities, in both the 4th Degree Assemblies and in the 3rd Degree Councils in our Order.

A 4th Degree Assembly consists of an elected panel of executive officers installed annually, and a Worthy Friar – for Assembly 2783, that being Father Tom MacDonald of Toledo, and fellow Sir Knights.

Retirement living made simple.

News – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is taking the rare step of thanking Ontario drivers ahead of their 2013 Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign for not driving impaired over the holidays and for helping them get impaired drivers off our roads.

The reason for the early thank you is because the OPP knows that the vast majority of drivers do understand that enforcement is only part of the solution and that driving sober is the single most important factor in ending the numerous impaired driving related deaths that occur on Ontario roads every year. The OPP considers these drivers to be among their most dedicated road safety partners because they share the responsibility of saving lives on our roads through responsible driving behaviour.

The campaign runs from Nov. 23 to Jan. 2. According to the OPP, the public can expect to see as many OPP Festive RIDE stops as ever during this year’s campaign, in order to deal with the relatively small number of drivers who choose to get an impaired driving charge over the simpler and less costly solution of not getting behind the wheel after consuming alcohol. Unfortunately, the irresponsible behav-

iour of one driver can negatively affect the lives of many. “I am calling on all road users to help us keep everyone safe over the holidays. Never allow yourself to drink and drive, never allow someone you suspect is impaired by alcohol or drugs to drive and if you are out on the road and suspect that a driver is impaired, call 9-1-1. I would like to thank in advance the hundreds of thousands of drivers we know we can count on to take these simple but important measures to help us get everyone through the holiday safely,� said Chief Superintendent Don Bell, Commander, OPP Highway Safety Division. “Our most recent national statistics tell us that there were 90,277 impaired driving incidents in Canada in 2011 and I am proud to say that Ontario had one of the lowest impaired driving rates among all of the provinces that year. We attribute this to a combination of targeted police enforcement and education efforts by all safety partners, combined with the motoring public’s generally favourable compliance with impaired driving laws, their awareness of the risks and their willingness to be a part of the solution,� said Deputy Commissioner Larry Beechey, Provincial

Commander, Traffic Safety and Operational Support.

The OPP is also reminding drivers that there is no safe amount of alcohol consumption when driving. This is evident every year in the number of Warn Range Suspensions the OPP issues to drivers whose Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) falls within the 0.05 to 0.08 range.

Over the last two Festive RIDE campaigns (2011 and 2012), OPP officers issued a total of 1,208 Warn Range Suspensions over and above the 1,375 impaired driving charges they laid throughout the province.

Those who are issued a Warn Range Suspension immediately lose their licence at the roadside and are not allowed to drive from that point on for a minimum of three days.

The OPP is asking the public to join in on the conversation on Facebook during the campaign.

Arts – For the many gifted volunteers involved in community theatre across Ontario, this is an exciting time of year.

Every November, actors, directors, costume and set designers, lighting technicians and stage crews come together for the Eastern Ontario Drama League One-Act Play Festival, a feast of great entertainment, and a celebration of excellence in community theatre. This year the festival, which is a professionally adjudicated competition, was hosted by Theatre Night in Merrickville, where groups from Merrickville, Peterborough, Prince Edward County, Lindsay, Ottawa, Perth, and the Bay of Quinte gathered to perform one-act plays for capacity audiences. And once again, Perth’s own Studio Theatre was a standout.

The Studio Theatre’s entry this year was Norm Foster’s comedy The Death of Me, and a rousing standing ovation was only the first of many recognitions it received. At the festival awards banquet, The Death of Me was nominated for Best Costumes, Best Production, and Best Visual Production. Then the accolades really began: First, the show’s cast of Tracy Noonan, Lucas Tennant, Patti Greer and Brian Tannenbaum won the acting award for Best Ensemble. Next, Barb Guthrie, a first-time director, won the Best Director trophy, a win that was especially sweet because although there is an individual First Time Director award, Guthrie was acknowledged to be the Best Director overall.

The icing on the cake was the Studio Theatre’s win in perhaps the most prestigious category of all, the People’s Choice Award. The Death of Me was voted Best Production, as determined by a poll of audience members who had seen all seven plays. It was a thrilling conclusion to this year’s festival, and a recognition of the high quality achieved by the Studio Theatre’s actors, directors and stage technicians.

Adjudicator Carolee Mason, the noted theatre educator, director, and choreographer for whom PDCI’s Mason Theatre is named, along with her husband Jeff, shared a wealth of advice and insights with the companies, and praised their professionalism. As an audience member, you couldn’t help feeling a renewed respect for community theatre, and for the many volunteers who work tirelessly to bring theatre to local stages.

Perth is blessed with one of the finest community theatres in the province. If you haven’t yet been to a Studio Theatre production, make time to come out and see a play. It’s a theatre experience you’ll enjoy, and one we can all be proud of.

Kemptville woman praises local Canadian Cancer Society transportation program

By GENA GIBSON For the Canadian Cancer Society, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit

Community – When Kemptville resident Rebecca Dukes received a cancer diagnosis in August, she knew who to call to support her on her journey through treatment.

Dukes turned to the Canadian Cancer Society and its transportation program immediately, as she made a plan with doctors for chemotherapy and radiation.

The Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the organization covers the area from Gananoque to Cardinal, as well as Lanark County and everywhere in between, and Dukes already had experience with its many volunteer drivers.

She was first diagnosed with cancer in 2005, and looked into the transportation program. After using the services during those treatments, she knew how it worked and how important it was.

“They’re lifesavers, by golly,” she stressed. “Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to make it to 95 per cent of my appointments.”

Dukes is still undergoing treatments, with a second round of chemotherapy following a round of chemo once every three weeks and then 15 sessions of radiation, five days a week for three weeks. She said she has had 10-12 different drivers, and “they’ve all been wonderful.”

“They’re great, caring people,”

she added. “They’re awesome conversationalists.”

Dukes said she has had drivers from Kemptville, Prescott, Smiths Falls and the surrounding areas pick her up in Kemptville and take her to the General site of the Ottawa Hospital, or the Queensway-Carleton Hospital, for treatments and appointments.

With trips running about an hour each way, she said, she gets to know the drivers and they get to know her.

She said she would definitely recommend the program to other people undergoing cancer treatments.

“If people don’t get to their appointments, they’re probably not going to make it,’ she pointed out.

“They (the drivers) do it out of the goodness of their hearts.”

She admitted that it hasn’t been fun, dealing with the reality of a second diagnosis of cancer – this time, lung cancer. She said the drivers are always cheerful, lifting her spirits despite the circumstances.

“It’s a wonderful service and I thank God for it.”

Volunteer drivers with the Canadian Cancer Society receive mileage pay for their trips to hospitals in Ottawa, Kingston and occasionally further afield. Last year, the transportation program filled 3,560 requests, with drivers covering 299,518 kilometres to take 339 local clients to their appointments.

The program in the tri-county

unit cost more than $84,200, as the average cost to take one patient to a round-trip appointment is $60 due to the distances that clients need to travel compared to those in other parts of Ontario.

For that reason, the local Canadian Cancer Society has joined with others across Ontario to once again pro-

a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer.

Connected to your community

Smiths Falls hosts prestigious Dominion Tankard in just over two months

By HIT Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ROLL

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Dominion Tankard gets under way in just over two months, at the new Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre (Arena). Mark your calendars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jan. 27 to Feb. 2 inclusive.

An event of this magnitude is a major undertaking that requires a significant committee structure.

Agnes McVeety along with Paul Howard are cochairing the 2014 Dominion Tankard Host Committee with the intention of making the Ontario Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curling Championship a â&#x20AC;&#x153;roaring successâ&#x20AC;?.

In addition to the cochairs we have a treasurer, administrator, accounting, facilities, logistics/ volunteers, operations,

ice, social-entertainment and food and sponsorship/ marketing subcommittees.

Most of these committees are meeting regularly to fine tune their approach and ensure the delivery of a memorable Tankard.

The Masters curling event from Abbotsford, B.C. at the first of the month, found the Glenn Howard rink to be in good form. They won this first of the four grand slam events of the season. The level of play was exceptional which augurs well for their defence of the Ontario title here in Smiths Falls in January.

The Howard/Martin final game was like a chess match with lots of strategy and great shots. The Howard rink has been in four events so far this season

and has made it to the finals three times.

The next Grand Slam event takes place this weekend in Medicine Hat, Alta. If a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rink wins all four events of the Grand Slam they will receive $1 million.

On the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side there are two events and if one rink wins both they will win $100,000.

Rachel Homan of Ottawa won the first event.

Most of the top rinks from around the world participate in the Grand Slams.

Entertainment will be

provided each evening of the Tankard from 9 to 12 in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lockmaster Houseâ&#x20AC;? in the Upper Hall of the arena. Most of the entertainment will be musical with a wide variety from jazz, Celtic

to rock and pop.

There will be a variety show one night. Entertainers are coming from across our region.

Before each draw, the National Anthem will be played. Harold Frizell (613-283-5507) our entertainment director is looking for groups or individuals to perform O Canada. Several groups including SFCDI have stepped forward . If you or your organization are interested, please contact Harold. More information on specific performers will be provided

as we get closer to the event.

The ticket package order forms are available online at www.thedominiontankard2014.ca, at the arena and curling clubs in the readership area. Any one of the packages would make a great Christmas gift and with only 41 days to Christmas, something to consider for the curling fans in your life.

Single draw tickets are now available. There will be 11 draws in the round robin portion of the event. Each draw

which consists of five games of 10 ends will take 2.5 to three hours to complete. Single draw tickets will cost $15 during the round robin for general admission and $20 for Premium seating; but will escalate steadily throughout the playoffs reaching $35 and $40 respectively for the Championship game.

Mary Vandenhoff receives Ontario Land Trust Alliance Vision Award Community – Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy’s (MMLTC) own Mary Vandenhoff was recently honoured by the Ontario Land Trust Alliance (OLTA) at their annual conference when she received their 2013 Vision Award for Volunteers in recognition of her tireless and innovative leadership in the land trust movement.

The MMLTC is very proud of Van-

denhoff and delighted to see her receive this prestigious award. Ten years ago none of us would have believed how far we would come in such a short period of time nor that a small organization, located in a relatively remote and nonaffluent part of the province, would have one of our own so recognized.

As Vandenhoff stated in her acceptance response, MMLTC is a working

board where each volunteer director is expected to carry the work forward.

However, Vandenhoff recognized from the beginning that the task is so great that even if each director could devote full time to the work, our goals would always remain beyond our grasp. She helped forge partnerships in the community with like-minded groups and rallied community members to join us. This is never an easy task but her own demonstration of a volunteer extraordinaire makes the path much easier. Volunteers are the life-blood of our organization.

Perhaps the key to Vandnhoff’s success and what inspires so many to follow

her example is her unshakable belief in the importance of helping land owners to protect their wonderful wilderness properties so that they will be forever there for the benefit of wildlife and to meet the needs of our children for eons of time. Each time she sees the happiness on the face of a child who visits one of the protected properties, or sees the power of nature reach deep into our inner core, she comes away refreshed and reinvigorated to continue on.

Many of us are responding to her leadership and are discovering for ourselves that there are few things in life that we can devote our time to that will

have such wonderful results on so many levels, lasting far beyond our own lifetime – a legacy that only grows more important as the decades pass.

As Vandenhoff so elegantly stated, it is her dream that many will discover for themselves how personally satisfying it is to be part of such an important cause.

We are proud of her and of all our volunteers and will continue to take pleasure in seeing many others participate with their time, and yes with their financial support, to make this glorious dream a reality.

Fifty years later mystery surrounds JFK’s assassination

Stunning news I was only 11 at the time but I clearly remember wandering around the school yard during recess, stunned by what I had just heard. I wasn’t alone!

All of the older students and teachers were doing the same thing. Some teachers and a number of kids were in tears.

People today have become so desensitized to violence that it may seem odd to consider the attitude and the feelings we had in 1963. At that time Kennedy was a hero to North Americans. The Cold War had its terrifying moments. The worst was in the fall of 1962. US intelligence discovered the USSR had deployed missile launchers on the island nation of Cuba.

For a few tense days in October the world stood on the brink of nuclear war. Never before or since has such a scenario occurred. In effect the young American president went toe-to-toe with Nikita Khrushchev, the leader of the Soviet Union. It was Khrushchev who blinked!

With the benefit of information which wasn’t available at the time, we now know Kennedy’s handling of the crisis wasn’t as perfect as we thought. Neither was his personal life of course.

But at that time most people believed JFK’s calm approach had saved the world. Little wonder he was put on a pedestal!

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

The ongoing, positive publicity surrounding Kennedy, his glamorous wife Jacqueline and their two young children Caroline and John Jr. made them the best-known family on the planet.

In the wake of the assassination we were devastated by the images of the president’s widow, still wearing her bloodstained dress, which flickered across our TV screens.

I’ve always been a newshound. Coming from a newspaper family that isn’t surprising, I suppose.

But on the terrible weekend following JFK’s slaying my family and I were glued to the television, watching continually as the drama unfolded.

Early on that Sunday afternoon, we were watching the lead-up to a Canadian Football League playoff game between Ottawa Rough Riders and Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Suddenly the channel cut away to show American TV coverage of alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald’s transfer from the Dallas Police Station to the more secure county jail.

Oswald never made it. Nightclub owner Jack Ruby stepped out of the crowd and shot him with a pistol. Oswald was rushed to hospital where he died of his wounds.

At that moment it seemed to me the world had descended into madness. I had never before seen such a thing!

On Monday, Nov. 25, 1963 television sets were in place in every classroom in our school so students and teachers could watch Kennedy’s state funeral. Like our American neighbours, Canadians joined in mourning the loss of the youngest president in US history. Kennedy was just 46.

I won’t go into great detail because no American president, with the possible exception of Franklin D. Roosevelt, has had so much written about them.

The number of books on JFK’s assassination alone is staggering.

His slaying was not unprecedented of course.

Three earlier American presidents were also felled by assassin’s bullets. Abraham Lincoln in 1865, James Garfield in 1881 and William McKinley in 1901.

At least two major things separate Kennedy’s assassination from the others. He died at a time when the mass media was just coming of age due to the increasing impact of television. As a result the Kennedy assassination was arguably the biggest news story of the 20th century. Because it happened in modern times it is also THE most analyzed crime in history.

short on substance.

But like so many other interested people I have a hard time believing the official line that just one individual was involved in the assassination and its aftermath.

In September 1964 the Warren Commission, appointed to investigate the assassination, released an 889-page report. Their conclusion was that Oswald, acting alone, shot Kennedy and seriously wounded Texas Governor John Connally who was seated ahead of the president. It is often forgotten that Oswald is also alleged to have shot and killed veteran Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit who attempted to stop a man for questioning some 45 minutes after the assassination.

The Warren Commission ruled that Ruby, seeking revenge for JFK’s murder, was the only person involved in the fatal shooting of Oswald two days later.

Based on the totality of evidence I remain skeptical. The Warren package is just too neat and tidy. And Oswald’s slaying was far too convenient all around. If you are at all familiar with the case then you will know there are still a lot of unconnected dots in this picture.

My hope is the veil of secrecy which continues to cloak details of Kennedy’s assassination will eventually be lifted and the whole truth will be revealed in my lifetime.

Fifty years after the fact JFK’s murder is just as sad and the mystery which surrounds his untimely death is just as intriguing!

Share your memories of JFK’s assassination with Jeff. He can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Conspiracy theories As the headline on this column notes it is the uncertainty which continues to surround his murder that sets Kennedy’s death apart. Fifty years later conspiracy theories continue to abound.

The latest claim is set out in a TV documentary aired at the beginning of this month. The Canadian-Australia co-production claims one of Kennedy’s Secret Service security detail accidentally fired the fatal head shot. The film, based on one of the many books about the incident, says an inexperienced agent (he died two years ago) pulled a handgun after hearing the first shots. The writer alleges the man inadvertently pulled the trigger and a bullet struck Kennedy who was riding in the vehicle ahead.

The evidence presented is interesting. Especially considering that the Secret Service agents involved have publicly admitted their security detail was very low on experienced officers during the fateful tour of Texas which ended so tragically in Dealey Plaza, Dallas.

As a career journalist with an intense interest in the case I have read countless articles and watched endless documentaries outlining conspiracy theories. Most are long on sensationalism and THE EMC - 23 - Thursday, November 21, 2013

Lifestyle – Where were you on Friday, Nov. 22, 1963?

Like me, anyone who was alive on that fall afternoon half a century ago is almost sure to remember exactly where they were and what they were doing. Events that capture the attention of everyone in the world are rare. And certainly the tragedy that unfolded on the streets of Dallas, Texas 50 years ago tomorrow qualifies as “world shaking.” The President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, was killed by gunfire as he rode in a motorcade through the streets of the southern US city.

Few events in modern times can replicate the sense of horror and loss that gripped North America and much of the globe in the wake of JFK’s murder. One year earlier Kennedy was credited with saving the world from nuclear annihilation during what is known as the “Cuban Missile Crisis.” His sudden, violent death was so shocking.

Anyone old enough to appreciate the depth of the tragedy that occurred in Dallas wondered what might happen next? JFK’s assassination left us feeling sad, scared and vulnerable!

In my lifetime there is only one other calamity that prompted feelings approaching how I felt on Nov. 22, 1963. That occurred nearly 38 years later, on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. I was much older of course. But the terrorist attacks on the US, including the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, sparked the same sense of shock and fear I felt in the aftermath of Kennedy’s slaying. The images from both events are forever seared into my memory!

In the lead-up to the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination the details from those shocking times have been reprised in books, newspaper and magazine stories as well as in a made for television movie and numerous TV and radio documentaries.

The black and white footage from that time (few people had colour TV in those days) is just as stark and troubling now as it was then.

Watching an emotional Walter Cronkite, the late, great anchor of CBS Television News, struggle to announce that JFK had died of his wounds, still brings a lump to my throat. One of the best programs I saw last week was a two-night, fourhour documentary, part of the always impressive ‘American Experience’ series on PBS. I thought I knew a lot about JFK but I learned much more during that excellent program.

I began this column by asking where people were on that tragic day. Interestingly tomorrow’s 50th anniversary also falls on a Friday which, somehow, makes it even more poignant.

For me the memory is as fresh as if it happened yesterday. It was early afternoon and I was in the Grade 6 classroom at Stittsville Union Public School. The door suddenly opened and our principal, the late Mrs. Ida Alexander, strode in wearing a grim look. She told us she had heard on the radio that President Kennedy had been shot and killed.

Tolkien’s epic The Hobbit comes to Perth live onstage Nov. 28, 29 Arts – On Nov. 28 and 29, be prepared for a marauding dragon, 12 dwarves, a wizard, several bow-and-arrow-laden elves, trolls, goblins, spiders, and an unsuspecting hobbit to come to town.

The Perth Academy of Musical Theatre is extremely proud to present J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous epic The Hobbit, which will be coming to life onstage in the gorgeous sanctuary of St. Paul’s United Church in Perth.

Unlike the recent film versions of the show which present the story as a trilogy, this adaptation, penned

by Canadian playwright Kim Selody, presents the show in its entirety, and is very true to Tolkien’s original. Compelling characters, gorgeous music, exciting swordplay and beautiful set pieces make this a presentation not to be missed!

Bilbo Baggins lives a quiet, peaceful life in his comfortable hole at Bag End. Bilbo lives in a hole because he is a hobbit – one of a race of

small, plump people about half the size of humans, with furry toes and a great love of good food and drink. Bilbo is quite content at Bag End, near the bustling hobbit village of Hobbiton, but one day his comfort is shattered by the arrival of the old wizard Gandalf, who persuades Bilbo to set out on an adventure with a group of thirteen militant dwarves.

The dwarves are embarking on a great quest to reclaim their treasure from the marauding dragon Smaug, and Bilbo is to act as their “burglar.” The dwarves are very skeptical about Gandalf’s choice for a burglar, and Bilbo is terrified to leave his comfortable life to seek adventure.

But Gandalf assures both Bilbo and the dwarves that there is more to the little hobbit than meets the eye.

After the group sets out, they are captured by hungry trolls, spiders, goblins, and wood elves, from which the adventurers, with the help

of their new burglar, and the magic ring that he secures from an encounter with the creature Gollum, escape successfully.

However, Bilbo’s encounter with the sly dragon Smaug is yet to be determined, as the adventure continues through Smaug’s wrath at Bilbo’s intrusion, and an epic battle of fie armies for control of the treasure of the Lonely Mountain.

The beautiful sanctuary of St. Paul’s Church provides an exciting setting for this production with its cathedral ceilings, balcony, and many nooks and crannies from which various mysterious creatures appear. The acoustics for the beautiful singing by the actors are also excellent.

The Hobbit will be presented by a group of 18 talented young actors, ranging in age from seven through 16, several of which come from as far away as Ottawa and Kingston, to participate in this fantastic production. Audience

members will be enchanted and amazed at the talent of these young performers, as they take us on an “unexpected journey” through the enchanted lands of Middle Earth.

The Hobbit will take place

at St. Paul’s United Church in Perth (25 Gore Street West) on Thursday, Nov. 28 and Friday, Nov. 29, at 7 p.m.

The show is suitable for all ages, so do bring the whole family along for an exciting night! Tickets are $12 each,

and are available through Tickets Please (Jo’s Clothes in Perth – 613-485-6434 – www.ticketsplease.ca) or at the door.

Enjoying one fall weekend of talented performers

her musical skills blossomed. When the relationship ended, she headed to Halifax and through hosting an open mic night became well known and CBC helped with her first, self-titled album. Her verbal dexterity in crafting her songs about snippets of life, whether her own or stories of others help ease those listening into that place where you’re, as if, recollecting with a family friend.

There’s a tranquillity, an accepting story worth repeating, where she intelligently captures past historical culture, colours, emotions and dreams and delivers through her deep, haunting voice what her soulful eye envisions. I was surprised and delighted to hear she had performed as Marilla in Anne of Green Gables for two seasons to which I could see in my minds-eye her nailing that part, one I’d previously seen done by the late, great Barbara Hamilton, back in the day, in the same locale.

The recording business is not a kind one. As a naive public we see the successes but there are far more stories of musicians having been kicked and taken advantage of. Smith’s wellreceived growth saw her winning and being nominated for many musical awards, playing festivals and distant places desiring her attendance. I saw her first live with a full band at the Tulip Festival in Ottawa and couldn’t wait to hear and see more of this up and coming talent. Unfortunately the business behind the scenes took its toll as well as some challenging health issues.

Luckily, I’m happy to report Smith is definitely back and her latest new CD Everything is Moving, produced

This album blends traditional tunes with several of her own timeless creations to connect you to this talented, timeless soul. At the Studio Theatre she was very ably backed by local Jamie Campbell on guitar (previously an acoustic player for Roch Voisine in his prime) and Ken Hall on keyboards of Kingston.

The evening was made complete by catching the last few tunes at the Golden Arrow Pub by Long Sault Trio who perform self-written and more traditional tunes. Linda Grenier, Victor Maltby and Dave Tilson have created and honed a sweet sound.

Catch them where you can.

Sunday evening saw me head to Carleton Place Arena for the fifth annual Country Harvest Music Show, a wonderful evening of good ol’

country music by some local greats; originated by Bob White and Andy Bowes. I was especially looking forward to their planned tribute to the late Ray Donaldson who we used to see on pedal steel in the house band.

the price of admission, featuring guitar picker Brad Scott, Andy Bowes (of Bowes Bros) on bass; on fiddle, the master, Wade Foster, on pedal steel, Brian Ostrom, and Mark Lemieux keeping them in line on drums.

With Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame inductee; perennial emcee Charlie Kitts in control, the band kicked off each set with a few tunes to get us all in the mood.

There was much mention of the musical families we are blessed with in the area and a member of one of them, Barry Munro’s son, Brad Munro, was the first up and nailed several tunes, old and new. From another musical family, Cheryl Adrain-Dermann (Harry Adrain being her proud father) took the show onward, her lovely vocals adding some nice spark, especially her version of ‘Satin Sheets’ which apparently Ray Donaldson always got her to sing and to whom she dedicated it. She really hit her stride though with her rendition of the Righteous Brothers’ classic tune, ‘Unchained Melody’ (music by Alex North and lyrics by Hy Zaret).

Heading up the second set, Brian Ostrom nailed ‘Steel Guitar Rag’ in honour of Ray and Wade Foster dedicated a new song he’d recently written to Ray, entitled ‘The Band of the Angels,’ that understandably brought the audience to their feet.

Andy Bowes, from yet another local musical family – The Bowes Brothers – told a few stories of Ray. See MUSIC page 27

Lifestyle – It took a couple of evenings witnessing talented performers in our neck of the woods to help get me through our first truly rainy, damp, fall weekend of the year. We’ve been revelling in the extended warm, sunny, above normal temperature days we’ve had to enjoy the uniqueness many parts of the world are envious of: the changing of seasons and the remarkable colours fall shares with us. It was through a visiting friend’s eyes from Columbia where they don’t get a change of season that I was reminded just how lucky we are to be able to witness the diverse palate of colours the changing leaves bring to us. It also reminds us of the work necessitated in raking and bagging but, usually the colours help ease these necessary seasonal tasks.

I’ve written before about Maritime singer/songwriter Laura Smith’s impact on the audience this past summer at Stewart Park Festival, how they rose in unison to offer her a standing ovation following her set. Much deserved. I’ve known of her music for many years, probably being first turned on to her unique voice along with so many others by Peter Gzowski’s championing her on CBC’s Morningside. Her adaptation of the traditional Scottish folk song ‘My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean’, entitled ‘My Bonny’ won her a continually growing following and prominence in the Canadian music scene.

Born and raised in London, ON, she was a relatively late bloomer musically, teaching herself first piano and later guitar. She claims her writing was encouraged by Governor General Award-winning poet and then writerin-residence at Western University, Margaret Avison. She played locally and then moved to Toronto where she gigged for nine years before moving to Cape Breton with her then beau, a lighthouse keeper. As she says, “this dramatic change of environment, with the rugged landscape, shifting ocean, moon filled nights and welcoming community made her feel she had arrived home.”

She played local ceilidhs with her fiddle playing lighthouse keeper and

SMITHS FALLS

REGIONAL NEWS MUSIC

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY!

ber of yet another one of the great local musical families, Barry Brown of the Family Brown clan. Barry sang several tunes he’d written through the years that were performed by Family Brown, including their first recorded song ‘RR # 2’. Barry’s grandparents had a farm they spent lots of time visiting over the years near Wilton, ON and he wrote this song in 1972 remembering those times. Barry went on to say the family has been enjoying hosting an annual benefit concert in that area for many years to raise funds for the upkeep of the local cemetery, where their grandparents are buried. Topping off the show was Barry inviting his baby sister, Tracey Brown, to join him onstage to sing a couple.

Her version of Dolly Parton’s ‘Coat of Many Colours’ left many a tear. The packed house left satisfied.

Now back to raking up the ‘beauty.’

From page 25

The one that hit home with the essence of Ray, for me, was Bowes describing how Ray had been in a vehicle with himself and Kenny Jackson, driven by a local politician, on their way to play the Good Roads Convention at the Royal York, in good ol’ Toronto. In Ray’s inevitable way, he got ragging on the politician about the Lanark Village water issue and, as Andy described, “Ray took his first breath around Belleville” ... a story that brought down the house.

Andy ended his touching ‘roast’ with one of Ray’s favourites ‘Kansas City’. In a rare solo appearance, Rod Bowes, from that same musical family heritage, took to the stage with a few tunes and the now expected quips about his brothers and a story or two about our departed Ray. The 20-plus members of the Donaldson family in attendance were touched by the tributes. I spoke to pedal steel player, Brian Ostrom, following the event and he told me of Ray’s oft repeated desire to find a way to teach youth the pedal steel so it would be carried on locally.

That would be Ray, the visionary.

The evening closed with a short set by Canadian and Ottawa Valley Country Hall of Fame member and mem-

Vintage cast offers up memorable feel-good film MOVIE: Last Vegas STARRING: Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline, and Mary Steenburgen DIRECTOR: Jon Turteltaub RATING: PG Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Every once in a while thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slow weekend at the box office where nothing opens. When that happens I take advantage by seeing a film I missed. This time itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Last Vegas, and I have to say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad it was a slow weekend.

Billy (Michael Douglas), Paddy (Robert De Niro), Archie (Morgan Freeman) and Sam (Kevin Kline) have been friends for almost 60 years. These days Sam spends his time in Florida with his wife wondering who among them is next to die. Archie had a mild stroke, and his over protective son has had him on what amounts to house arrest ever since. Paddy spends his days in his bathrobe mourning the death of his wife. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Billy. Billy is about to get married to a woman half his age.

In light of the pending nuptials the four decide they need to do it

My Take MARK HASKINS

up right. They all meet up in Las Vegas for a bachelor weekend to end all bachelor weekends. These guys have a lot of history and there are some unresolved issues, but none of that stops them from taking full advantage of everything life and Vegas has to offer. In the end it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how old you are, or who did what to whom. All that matters is that your friends are there for you.

On the surface the premise for Last Vegas, four guys pushing 70 trying to recapture their glory days, is ludicrous. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not ludicrous, in fact itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful. This is one of those films that hits all the right notes at all the right times. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heartwarming, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silly, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s romantic, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring. This is how you live

life. This is what being friends is all about. Last Vegas is how you make a feel-good film.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing I really need to say about Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman or Kevin Kline. I could watch any one of these guys in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst film and they would still be worth seeing. Having all four together in the same film is a real treat. These guys make it look easy. Their chemistry together is nothing short of magic. They are so smooth and so quick with each other it is a joy to watch.

Mary Steenburgen plays Diana a former tax attorney-turned-Vegas lounge singer. Diana grabs the attention of the boys, and manages to put a wrinkle in Billyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding plans. Mary Steenburgen also garbs the attention of the audience.

She is stunning. She lights up the screen, and is the perfect fifth for this already perfect foursome.

I really liked Last Vegas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect cast in the perfect feelgood movie.

Mudds present old story with a new twist

By LAUREL TYE

Arts – The Christmas spirit has descended on Carleton Place and can be seen and heard in the Mississippi Mudds current performance, Humbug!

The show is loosely based on the popular story, A Christmas Carol, written by Charles Dickens. This panto/drama has most of the ingredients of a traditional English panto along with several twists and turns, which will certainly be a surprise.

As artistic director of Humbug, I was keen to retain the redemption story theme of a pitiable, gruff miser who opens his heart once he has faced his past, present and possible future. To do this all in one night might be daunting

for any of us. That Scrooge can alter his dismal future by changing his ways is a wonderful theme of hope, and sees Scrooge choosing compassion over greed.

However, being a panto, there was the freedom to twist parts of the story in unexpected ways, using improbable music for a Christmas tale, and introducing unlikely characters into the story. Gender bending is quite evident. A little bit of political humour will touch the funny bone of the adults while the sillier antics of a few characters will delight the young. The town of Carleton Place itself is well represented throughout the show in such a way that strangers to the town will be more familiar with the places and people after seeing the show.

The cast and crew have been happily rehearsing this unusual panto and we want to share our Christmas Cheer with you. We’re looking forward to seeing you there, and as Tiny Tim would exclaim, “God bless us every one.”

Performances will be at the Carleton Place Town Hall.

Evening performances, at 7:30 p.m., are Friday, Nov. 29; Saturday, Nov. 30; Friday, Dec. 6; and Saturday, Dec. 7.

Matinee performances, at 2 p.m., are Sunday, Dec. 1 and Saturday, Dec. 7. Evening performances, $20. Matinees, $15. Tickets will be sold at the Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce, 132 Coleman Street, 613-2571976.

Clayton woman needs community’s help; fundraiser to be held Dec. 14 ness about the need for organ donations while awaiting her surgery.

On Aug. 11, Dew and her mother (Leslirae Rotor) moved from their home in Clayton to an area near Guelph, to be within the required two-hour radius of the TGH. They have lived in Mississippi Mills for the last eight years.

However, now that Dew is unable to leave TGH until her transplant, Leslirae must now find accommodation in the city as soon as possible, while maintaining the family home in Clayton.

“I am worried about them,” said Garwood. “They are barely coping financially.”

What’s more, TGH requires the mother and daughter to live in Toronto for a minimum of three months post transplant, which will add additional expense.

People First of Lanark County (PFoLC), along with Garwood are spearheading the Dec.

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

Community – “We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.”

A fundraiser will be held next month in aid of a Clayton woman suffering from pulmonary fibrosis, leaving her breathless and dependent on oxygen.

Dew Rotor, only 33 years old, is permanently hospitalized at the Toronto General Hospital (TGH) until she receives a lifesaving double-lung transplant.

According to close Rotor family friend, Terry Garwood, it was earlier this month that Dew learned her lungs have failed to the point that she must stay at the health-care facility until she receives her transplant.

“It is not known how long it will take to find an organ donor,” said Garwood.

Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic disease that results in scarring of the lungs. The scar tissue replaces healthy tissue and causes inflammation. This damage causes the lungs to stiffen and makes breathing increasingly difficult.

Less than 10 per cent of Dew’s lungs are still functioning and even the functioning parts of her lungs are severely compromised.

“In August, the transplant team at the Toronto General Hospital put Dew on the list for a double-lung transplant,” said Garwood.

TGH has become the undisputed world leader in lung transplantation.

Ottawa native Hélène Campbell received her double-lung transplant at TGH in April 2012.

Her story became public after she reached out to celebrities including Justin Bieber and Ellen DeGeneres to raise aware-

Clayton’s Dew Rotor, right, has pulmonary fibrosis. She is in Toronto with her mother and sole caregiver, Leslirae Rotor, above, while she waits for a lifesaving double-lung transplant.

The family desperately needs financial help. A fundraiser will take place on Dec. 14 in the upstairs hall of the Carleton Place arena.

Team

14 fundraiser to help cover costs for Dew and her mother: accommodation, meals (the hospital cannot meet Dew’s requirements for a specialized diet), medical, transportation, moving expenses, the list goes on.

The fundraiser – Life4Dew – takes place Dec. 14 from 7 to 12 p.m. at the Carleton Place Arena (upstairs hall), located at 75 Neelin St. There will be live music (lineup still to be determined), raffle draw, refreshments and more.

Admission is a $10 donation to the cause.

Dew needs your financial help. To donate or for more information, go to www.

Life4Dew.ca. Moreover, follow Dew’s journey on social media: www.facebook.com/Life4Dew (Facebook) or @Life4Dew (Twitter).

Watch the Canadian Gazette EMC for more details about Dew and the upcoming fundraiser.

Due to her fragile health status, Dew was given a hypoallergenic cat in 2010 – Toby Cat – her best friend.

Local author pens smoky tale of murder amidst the ashes

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Though the years have passed, through the smoke and flame, John Kenny still sees the child â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the one who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it, much though he tried, while on a fire call.

Choking up several times, pausing, sometimes for what must have seemed like an eternity for him, to compose himself, it all came back.

Though his new novel, The Spark, is a work of fiction, it does draw on his experiences as a Toronto firefighter. Reading aloud from chapter two of his book, the Ebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay resident, now far removed from a cold winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night, giving CPR to a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifeless body, adjusted his glasses, looked out at family and friends gathered at the Carleton Place Canoe Club on Sunday, Nov.10, and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Firefighters are flesh and blood, too.â&#x20AC;?

In the book, as his eyes scanned each line, reading out, the novelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hero came to the realization that â&#x20AC;&#x153;training was no longer a duty. It was literally a matter of life and death.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are elements of truth in that (reading),â&#x20AC;? said Kenny afterwards, back at his booksigning table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even after 20 years, it still has an emotional impact on you. It stays with you.â&#x20AC;?

The book is set in Toronto, where he continues to work for the Toronto fire department, and it is available for purchase on Amazon and at Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Shop in Carleton Place. He is also in talks with Mill Street Books of Almonte to carry it.

He moved to Ebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay, fulltime, five years ago, commuting out on rotating weeks to the fire hall in Toronto. His family has been living in Ebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay â&#x20AC;&#x153;since we stole it (the land) from the Indiansâ&#x20AC;Śmy grandfather, John Cooke, built the log cabin that is attached to the house.â&#x20AC;?

A firefighter for 25 years in January, he said he wanted â&#x20AC;&#x153;to make it as realistic as possible,â&#x20AC;? for readers, and to steer clear of â&#x20AC;&#x153;plastic Hollywood heroes.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They never show the density of smoke,â&#x20AC;? said Kenny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re totally blind. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see a damn thing.â&#x20AC;?

Far from being a fictionalized memoir, it instead weaves in a murder mystery as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The events in the book are made up,â&#x20AC;? he hastens to add, but having a firefighter, usually a peripheral character at best in most other crime novels, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is one of the strengths of it.

Usually, it is a cop or a private investigator. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what sets it apart.â&#x20AC;?

Not that his hero is flying solo in solving a case that most everyone else believes is just

Photo by DESMOND DEVOY

Ebbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay resident John Kenny reads aloud from his newly published novel The Spark, during the launch at the Carleton Place Canoe Club on Sunday, Nov. 10. an accident, when his mentor dies in a blaze. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are cops in the book, but not the main protagonist,â&#x20AC;? said Kenny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fire investigation is a science of its own.â&#x20AC;?

Kennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hero decides to take matters into his own hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He bends the rules and breaks a few laws in his eagerness,â&#x20AC;? said Kenny, of the investigation a hit man who uses fire

to cover his tracks.

Kenny has been a writer all of his life, and used to write the scripts for a planetarium show in Toronto. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started a couple of times,â&#x20AC;? with the manuscript, he admits. Then, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put it away.â&#x20AC;?

Ultimately, the deed was done thanks to â&#x20AC;&#x153;discipline. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time at the keyboard.â&#x20AC;?

While the novel involves the

murder of a mentor, Kennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own mentors include the famed spy novelist John le Carre, author of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (1963), whom he calls the â&#x20AC;&#x153;master of suspense thrillers.â&#x20AC;? The recently-departed Tom Clancy is another favourite, â&#x20AC;&#x153;who was exquisite in his detail and research,â&#x20AC;? for novels such as The Hunt for Red October (1984).

His own genre tastes run from science fiction to biography to historical fiction.

He got his first copy of the book on Oct. 6, and at his book launches in Carleton Place and Toronto, a few of his fellow firefighters came out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually reconnected with friends I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in years,â&#x20AC;? because of the book, he said.

While the brotherhood of firefighters would take to the jargon of their field right away, Kenny knew he had to write with the uninitiated in mind, lest they be turned away by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;inside baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; terminology. He writes out terms like â&#x20AC;&#x153;self-contained breathing apparatus,â&#x20AC;? followed by (SCBA), and then refers to SCBA for the remainder of the book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was thinking of putting in a glossary of terms, but the terminology changes from department to department,â&#x20AC;? he explained, with American firefighters referring to an engine, while firefighters in Toronto would call it a pumper.

While his novel is set in Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest city, it was suggested to him that â&#x20AC;&#x153;you would do a lot better if you set it in Los Angeles or New York City or Chicago. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the reality of the publishing business. You can stay here and be a starving artist, or go to Hollywood and hope for success.â&#x20AC;?

Heritage plaques unveiled in Carleton Place The second plaque revealed contains a pictorial essay and short literary explanation of the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium.

“Just wonderful, beautiful,” LeBlanc said.

“It details how it was used over the years,” DeFrancesco said.

The auditorium has hosted such notables as Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who spoke in the grand hall during the country’s 1911 election, and the CFRA Happy Wanderers, who made use of the theatre in the 1950s to perform a live radio show.

The acoustics are second to none.

News – The Carleton Place Municipal Heritage Committee (CPMHC) has been quite busy this year.

Last Tuesday, Nov. 12, committee members Bernie DeFrancesco and Jennifer Irwin attended the local council meeting, unveiling two heritage plaques.

Irwin is the curator of the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum.

“We are here this evening to unveil two plaques that were produced by Jennifer at the museum over a long period of time,” DeFrancesco said.

“Many hours, many weeks.”

He explained the plaques are two in a series of four.

Mayor Wendy LeBlanc unveiled the first plaque, a pictorial essay of the Carleton Place Town Hall and short literary explanation of the heritage of the building.

“Isn’t that lovely,” she said. “Look at the old photographs.”

Town hall history Toronto architect George King designed the Town Hall, built between 1895 and 1897 for approximately $26,000, in the Richardson Romanesque style.

The Bridge Street building, constructed of cut limestone quarried from Beckwith Township, once housed the municipality’s fire hall and police station.

LeBlanc noted many people visit

“Now that we have this, people can read it,” she said.

Many have enjoyed auditorium Generations of Carleton Place residents have enjoyed the facility. Several years ago a committee was established to watch over the treasure.

“Thank you very, very much for your significant donation,” LeBlanc said.

“You are answering a growing interest in the history of our community,” LeBlanc said.

The mayor noted other local initiatives helping to preserve the heritage and history of the town: Shaun McInnis’ murals and Coun. Jerry Flynn’s interviews with older Carleton Place citizens.

DeFrancesco said another plaque (Findlay Foundry) would be unveiled during Heritage Ontario Week 2014, Feb. 17 to 23.

Coun. Rob Probert is the council liaison on Carleton Place Municipal Heritage Committee.

Annual Santa Claus Parade heads to Carleton Place next weekend tgesner@perfprint.ca

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The annual Santa Claus Parade in Carleton Place takes place on Saturday, Nov. 30.

Hosted by the local Business Improvement Association (BIA), the parade features a number of entries: marching bands, dazzling floats, loveable mascots, talented dancers and jolly St. Nick himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in support of the Lanark County Food Bank (LCFB) and Christmas Basket Fund (CBF),â&#x20AC;? said Cathie McOrmond, BIA manager.

The Carleton Place and District Civitan Club will be pushing carts along the parade route, collecting non-perishable food items for the LCFB and monetary donations for the CBF. More than a few years ago, the BIA made the decision to switch the Santa Claus Parade to an early evening time slot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5 p.m. The holiday event was formerly held in the afternoon.

As a result of the numerous illuminated floats, the excitement of parade-goers never seems to fade, said McOrmond.

The festive atmosphere is intensified, owing to the luminous cascade of LED Christmas lights that decorate the trees along the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown thoroughfare â&#x20AC;&#x201C; another BIA initiative.

Carleton Placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Santa Claus Parade is one of the largest in the Ottawa Valley, with thousands of spectators attending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really has become a destination event,â&#x20AC;? said McOrmond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come from all over.â&#x20AC;?

Typically lasting an hour and a half, the parade begins at Townline Road, travels the full length of Bridge Street and ends at Heritage Mall on Lansdowne Avenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The theme this year is Toys Alive, which will be reflected in the various entries,â&#x20AC;? said McOrmond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, the misfits from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story.â&#x20AC;?

The BIA is hoping entrants will take their floats to the next level.

Pre-registration is mandatory for participation. The fee is $10 fee. The money collected will be donated back into the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have not decided on a charity at this time,â&#x20AC;? said McOrmond.

She noted registrations would be accepted until Thursday, Nov. 28.

Plaques will be awarded to the most enthusiastic and decorative entries that are consistent with the theme. A group of judges will select the Best Commercial, Best Small Independent Business and Best Overall entries, as well as the first, second and third place

winners in the Best Walking and Best Use of Theme categories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner of the Best Overall trophy was the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital,â&#x20AC;? said McOrmond.

With safety always a concern, the parade route will be roped off, and no parking is permitted on Bridge Street after 4 p.m., from Townline Road to Bridge Street.

Parade-goers can warm up with some hot chocolate from the Carleton Place Canoe Club and Canadian Career Academy.

Downtown Carleton Place is always geared up to welcome both residents and visitors, offering many stores, services and restaurants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you are coming downtown for dinner, I recommend reservations,â&#x20AC;? said McOrmond.

The Santa Claus Parade is a joyous community occasion. And of course, it is always the last float that everyone anxiously anticipates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Santa and Mrs. Claus.

The North Pole couple wave to the spectators, wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.

After the parade, Santa and Mrs. Claus will visit the residents of Carleton Place Terrace (formerly Carleton Place Manor), located at 6 Arthur St. For additional information about the Santa Claus Parade, contact McOrmond at 613-2578049 or cmcormond@carletonplace.ca.

Support local children at annual Champions for Kids concert

By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

Community – As the Christmas season starts up in full swing, many organizations will be hosting fundraisers, parties and galas.

If you only go to one of those events, though, go to the second annual Champions for Kids concert in Almonte, says organizer Bruce Monteith.

“This is a great chance to raise money for local children in need,” he said.

The concert will be held in the gymnasium of Almonte District High School on Dec. 1 from 2 to 4 p.m. As always, the proceeds gathered throughout the evening will go to help support local kids who need a leg up financially.

The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) started the Champions for Kids initiative eight years ago in an effort to level the playing field between lower-income families and their peers.

“Sometimes kids need help so they can go to summer camp, play sports after school, get their eyes checked or so they can simply have winter clothes to wear,” Monteith said.

“Funds raised through Champions for Kids go towards things like that.”

So far, after almost a decade of raising money, the initiative has brought in more than $700,000 to put towards the foundation.

Ward 1 of the UCDSB, which includes areas such as Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place and Beckwith Township, began hosting Champions for Kids concerts for the first time last year.

They were able to raise more than $10,000 through two separate concerts.

This year, Monteith hopes to surpass that by hosting one large concert instead.

“It was time consuming and costly to do the two concerts last year,” he said. “This year

we hope to raise more money with a bit less effort.”

This year’s concert, entitled So Many Gifts, promises to be full of entertainment. Kids from each school in the area, from young kindergarteners to Grade 12 students, will showcase their talents.

Singers, dancers and musicians will take the stage to perform holiday-themed sets; some will even perform original songs.

Monteith said he is really excited about the concert’s “headliner” as well. Carleton Place’s very own up-and-coming star, Breanne Lawrenson, will be joining the concert to perform her hit song ‘Honey’ as well as other singles from her albums.

“We’re very lucky to have her at the show,” Monteith said. “It’s great to have her supporting our cause.”

Apart from the live entertainment, there will also be a silent auction beginning at 1 p.m. in the school’s foyer and

running until the concert ends.

“We have over $2,000 in goods for the auction. It should be very good,” Monteith said.

Tickets for the event can be found at all Ward 1 schools as well as at Mill Street Books in Almonte. The cost is $10 for

$94.4 billion of indulgence Editorial – Putting money in the hands of teenagers can be equivalent to setting it on fire.

An interesting figure came to light recently that Canadian teenagers spend $100 billion annually and yet earn a meagre $5.6 billion. Where does all this money come from? Their parents, grandparents, robbing banks…? Perhaps this figure is some sort of mistake. After all, who would be stupid enough to simply hand over more than $94 billion?

A conspiracy theory is afoot in all this.

There is no way that parents are so filthy rich, they hand money over to their kids like it’s going out of style. The same goes for grandparents and banks.

Growing up in modern society would be a mind blowing experience. The ability to take without earning, attend school without learning, text and instant message without conscience and spend 18 hours a day plugged into some sort of hand held device. It’s amazing how unproductive

some kids can be.

Back in the day, when you had to get a job at the tender age of 12, spent hours studying to earn a good grade because tests were hard, read books (not to be mistaken for Facebook) for entertainment and spent the majority of your time outside mastering the monkey bars, people actually had the ambition to do things.

Now what? This mindset of entitlement is going to, drastically, alter the course of human history. Some children rack up $100 phone bills, expect their parents to hand over their car keys when they get their G2’s and then ask for extra money on top of it all. A lot of money it seems. Gone are the days of the $2 weekly allowance.

Giving does not always equal generosity. Sometimes it creates an enabling environment.

Modern parents must rise up and together, in one booming voice, say ‘enough is enough.’

No more paying your kids phone bills,

or lending them your car – which they empty of its warranty and gas content – or handing over $20 bills on a regular basis.

By sticking together, parents can reverse this horrendous trend of youthful consumerism.

When kids have to work for their money, they’ll respect it more and therefore spend less. It’s a rather simple equation that parents seem to have forgotten.

It is a parent’s responsibility to provide

shelter, clothing, food and love. If you do that, then stop going overboard.

Going back to the basics and keeping things simple is the only way for the human species to alter the damaging effects of the credit system and extreme consumerism.

Don’t wait until your kid is 28-years-old and living in your basement to put your foot down.

Act now!

Why all the hospital secrecy, town councillor asks DEAR EDITOR: At the request of many residents, I asked mayor Wendy LeBlanc at our Nov. 5 town council meeting to clarify her comments made at a town council meeting held Oct. 22 in regards to the use of lobbyists associated with our hospital redevelopment project.

The mayor responded by stating that she had made a poor choice of words when using the term lobbyists.

With respect to my second question to the mayor: who

are the three individuals you mentioned were working on our community’s behalf?

The mayor made it quite clear that the names of the three individuals will not be shared with council or the public.

My third question to the mayor: why won’t you disclose the names of the individuals to this council?

The mayor refused to answer the question with any clarity but did restate that she would never reveal the names

of the three individuals.

It is a key part of my job as councillor to ask questions on behalf of the residents of Carleton Place in a respectful manner and the mayor has made it clear that she is not interested in answering public questions that pertain to the hospital redevelopment project.

The mayor has also made it clear that she is not interested in revealing the names of the people she personally cleared or appointed as representa-

tives of our community in association with the hospital redevelopment project.

I find this type of mayoral conduct and accountability unacceptable in response to questions from the public.

I also find the mayor’s actions and responses regarding this matter unbecoming of an elected official of the Town of Carleton Place.

This Week’s Pets

This week’s featured cats Holly and Ivy These two brown tabby sisters are striking with their markings.

Because they have been raised together, they must be adopted as a pair to ensure their comfort. Being five-and-a-half-years-old, the shelter is not an environment that they are familiar with and they tend to

Affectionate, with a sweet nature to match her sweet face, she enjoys the company of most dogs, and, although a bit shy at first meeting, once she’s warmed up to you, she’ll happily make you her new best (human) friend. She knows some of her basic commands, but they still require some work – particularly her

hide when visitors come to give ear scratches and belly rubs. Out of sight, out of mind and therefore they remain at the shelter.

Holly and Ivy are waiting for a

home that understands their skittish nature and has the patience to instill trust. Please come to the shelter to meet these beauties, they are there... they are likely just hiding!

Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is located on Glenview Road, just off Highway 43, about 2 kilometres west of Smiths Falls. The shelter is open Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Write to us at P.O. Box 156, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1 or contact us at 613-283-9308, or email at shelter@lanarkanimals.ca.

News – Ottawa is the home of startups. The most recent is called the African Bronze Honey Project, a fun and powerful social enterprise. Artistentrepreneurs Paul Whitney and Liz Connell have partnered with ZambianCanadian Dan Ball in creating a project that gives from Africa to Canada…and then back to Africa.

Ball has trained more than 6,000 beekeepers in the remotest part of Zambia, in a massive forest at the headwaters of the Zambezi River. Together they produce the most amazing tasting, 100 per cent organic, forest honey. A year ago while visiting Ottawa, Ball posed a question, “Would you help us market our honey into Canada?” Whitney and Connell started thinking outside the box and partnered with schools and not-for-profit organizations to sell the honey and share the profits.

“Every year these forest beekeepers produce over 800 tonnes of the most amazing honey that you’ve ever tasted… and trust me, you’ve never tasted anything like it. Complex, beautifully dark and very compelling… it’s Africa in a bottle,” laughs Whitney. He should know, he spent eight years “trying to figure out how things work” in southern Africa.

“This project is so simple and there is not a penny of development aid involved. This is a world-class, epicurean food, produced in one of the least developed places on the planet, processed, packaged and marketed creatively and inexpensively with half the profit going back to assisting Canadian non-for-profit projects and training

more beekeepers in Africa. It’s a win, win, win project!” he said.

Last week, the African Bronze Honey Project visited the Stewart Public School in Perth, Ontario where 350 students went on a virtual tour of rural Africa led by Zambian-Canadian Zvondai Muchenje, our Schools Project facilitator, a graduate of Carleton’s International Development Program.

“I am a marimba player and drummer too, the kids love it when we sing and talk about making honey in the forest. A lot of the money these beekeepers make… it’s used to pay for school fees for their kids. So, it’s a great feeling when an entire school of Canadian kids all get excited about helping Zambian kids and their families start their own business…,” Muchenje said. “I worked in international development for years… this is what we were supposed to be doing. Now, here’s a project that is doing it!”

Whitney points out that people find this honey really interesting when they discover that it’s produced by African ‘killer bees’.

“They get a bad rap,” he said. “They don’t really kill people, except in Hollywood… however they are very aggressive to other bees… and they do make ‘killer honey’!”

The full story and the honey is available at africanbronzehoney.com.

Stewart School in Perth will also be selling the honey up until Dec. 15 as a fundraising project. The Gorgeous Grannies of North Gower will be offering it as well at their own upcoming fundraising events in Osgoode.

I hope we have money for vacation.

I hope it’s covered by insurance.

I hope they vote me prom queen.

I hope it comes in my size.

I hope they make it to the playoffs.

Storytelling, Christmas stories and thinking about summer at Full Circle Theatre Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BarnDoor Productions is getting the jump on the season, while celebrating the season this next month at Full Circle Theatre (FCT).

Saturday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m., 2 women productions bring the first event of their 2013-2014 season to FCT. A Dubious Blessing: Two Old Women Speak features storyteller Marta Singh telling of a personal journey into her past and herself, through the lens of a Russian folk tale and an Argentinian story.

Singh is the creator of Landscapes of Silence, featured in 2 women productions first season.

Tickets for the event are at www.ticketsplease.ca. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been along time since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve laughed so hard,â&#x20AC;? commented one patron after BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (BDP) hilarious The 39 Steps in October. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to bet that will be topped when BDP returns to the stage Dec. 6 through 15 with a show that surely encapsulates the most ho-ho-holiday spirit of all.

Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some) is a 90-minute tour of, well, every Christmas story ever told. Veteran BDP performers David Bird, Joe Laxton and David Jacklin will keep you laughing and howling while they tell you every story from Rudolph (in a non-copyright infringing

version) to The Grinch to Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Wonderful Life and, yes, even A Christmas Carol. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silly and nonsensical and a great way to start the holiday season.

Tickets info is at www. barndoorproductions.ca.

BarnDoor is also looking well beyond the holiday season this month, making some announcements about the summer of 2014. Next summer will see Full Circle Theatre return to the kind of summer entertainment that BarnDoor does best: highenergy, high-entertainment, unpredictable and unusual. First up will Gaslight (also known as Angel Street), the seminal mystery thriller of all time, running in June.

For July, BDP revives one of its most popular productions ever, The Lure of the Lights (Or Why Women Sin), an original musical built around a 1903 shocker. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of BarnDoorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marks Brothers Melodrama series, taken from plays in the archives of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous Marks Brothers Dramatic Company from the 1900s and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tale of gangsters and fallen women and the underworld of New York City in 1910, all set to great songs from the time.

Then in August, William Wycherlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1673 comedy The Country Wife will continue BDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long tradition of summer classic theatre. The Country Wife was so risque

in its time that it was banned for more than 200 years! Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, funny and still a little bit shocking, 340 years later. Of course, there will be plenty to see in between

then and now at FCT, from musical concerts, more story-telling, some racy, adults-only comedy in February, one of the most honoured and evocative plays of the

last decade in April, student theatre, cinema and much more.

You can get all the details at www.barndoorproductions.ca.

While the summer sun seems a

long way away, the temperature is already climbing at Full Circle Theatre.

John Andrew William Milne, of Perth, was in his 83rd year. Dearly loved husband and best friend of Marguerite, and cherished father to David (Babette), of Whitehorse, Yukon, Cathy (Chesley), of Makkovik, Labrador, Debbie, of Perth, Trisha (Karen), of Tomerong, Australia, and caring brother to Marie (Brian) Lelievre, of Waterloo. He will be sadly missed by his five grandchildren: Jenna, Jake, Erin, Fawn and Prism. Mr. Milne was predeceased by his parents, Andrew and Hilda Milne (nee Bierworth). John was born and raised in Grey County, Ontario and started his teaching career right out of high school at 17 in rural Pike Bay, Lake Huron. He moved to Wawa in 1951 to teach where he met and married Marg. A promotion to principal meant going back to school over many summers to acquire degrees. In 1970 the family moved to Gravenhurst, where he was elementary school principal. Upon retirement, he and Marg turned their Gravenhurst home into a B&B for over a decade. Marg and John moved to Perth in 2006. He was a solid tenor in the Cellar Singers choir and the Gravenhurst United Church chorus for many years before joining the St. Paul’s Choir in Perth. His gardening skills produced lovely floral displays and very tasty garlic. His love of travel took him on many adventures with Marg to all corners of the globe.

John was a kind and gentle man who will be greatly missed by many friends and family. A celebration of John’s life will take place on Friday, November 22 at 11:00 a.m., in the O’Dacre Family Chapel, 15 Victoria Street, Perth, with the Rev. Gerald Kerr, officiating.

Cremation has taken place with an interment to be held at later date. For those wishing, please direct donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of Lanark County. Special thanks to the staff at the Perth District Hospital for their kind and respectful care of John over these past two months.

DOHERTY – In loving memory of our dear parents, our Mom – Margaret June who passed away on November 22, 2004 and our Dad – Patrick John who passed away on March 12, 1970.

Down a road that’s calm and peaceful, Guided by God’s loving hand, They have gone upon a journey, To a distant, brighter land.

And although our hearts are heavy With sorrow we still bear, It helps to bring us comfort, Knowing they are together there.

Forever in our hearts, Your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren

Billy Duffy January 26th 1983 - November 25th 2008 We little knew that morning, God was 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 beautiful 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.

Love always Mom, Brent, Tara, Tiffany, Kyra, Evan, Avery and Family.

BURNS - In loving memory of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents, Harry E. Burns, passed away October 9, 1992 and Elsie M. Burns passed away November 25, 1992.

There is a bridge of memory From here to Heaven above, That keeps you very close to us It’s called the bridge of love.

As time goes by without you And days turn into years, They hold a million memories And a thousand silent tears.

To us you were so special What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts That you were here today.

So whatever we do Wherever we go, Today, tomorrow Our whole life through, We will always love and cherish you.

Always remembered your family, grandchildren and great grandchildren

HOBBS - Keith Hobbs who left us for Heaven November 20th, 2009.

I found a penny today just laying on the ground, But it’s not just a penny this little coin I’ve found.

“Found” pennies come from Heaven That’s what my Grandpa told me, He said angels toss them down Oh, how I loved that story.

He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown.

So don’t pass by that penny When you’re feeling blue, It may be a penny from Heaven That an angel tossed to you.

We’re still ‘keeping the change’ Dad and picking up pennies makes us smile.

Always in our thoughts Your loving wife Margaret and your children & grandkids Rick & Chris, Henry & Wendy, Patsy & Murray and families

VIRTUE, Mae Marie In loving memory of our dear sister, who passed away November 22, 1988.

If we listen really close In the silence of the night We hear your voice to comfort us And say that you are all right.

But it’s often hard to understand Why certain things must be And the reasons why they happen Are so often hard to see.

But we all find comfort in just knowing That God is always there To keep the one we love so much Forever in His care.

Lovingly remembered by your sisters Betty, Emma, Edith, Esther, Maxine and Families

GIFF, Reg In loving memory of a devoted husband, father and grandfather who was called to heaven on November 22, 2002 Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on Cherished memories never fade because one loved is gone Those we love can never be more than a thought apart For as long as there are memories they live on in our heart Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear.

McINNES, Carmen - In loving memory of a dear father and grandfather who passed away November 27, 1994.

As time goes by without you, And the days turn into years, They hold a million memories And a thousand silent tears.

To us you were so special What more is there to say Except to wish with all our hearts That you were here today.

Forever loved & remembered Sharon, Eldon, Ryan and Gregory

CONNOLLY, Lloyd November 23, 2002 His helping hand was always first, To tender any aid he could.

His voice was always raised in praise, His words were wise and good.

Ever since you went away, The ones you loved so true, Try hard to carry on the way, We know you’d want us to.

Lovingly remembered, Mary & family

JACQUES, Raymond Jr. – November 26, 1988 Twenty-five years today my son was called To his eternal rest; Gone where the angels sing so sweet, And taken when God knew best.

I miss him here so very much, His presence oft seems nigh, But I hope in Heaven to meet Where no one says good-bye.

nault Quatre Chevaux of the 1950s to 1970s.

“The Morris was popular in many countries previously under British occupation in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia until the German and, later, Japanese cars took over.

In my childhood in Haifa, Israel, two neighbour ladies from Rhodesia (Zimbabwe now) who immigrated to Israel, came with a new Morris Minor station wagon (also with wooden covered frame outside), by driving loaded with baggage from Salisbury (Harare) to Mombasa in Kenya (2,700 km), all on East African roads and no roads and then by ship to Eliat on the Red Sea. They made it safe and sound!”

Virtually identical to the 1960 model driven by the two women from East Africa is the 1961 Morris Minor station wagon seen here and owned

by Danny Bateman of Leamington, Ontario, in the 1960s. Note the curved one-piece windshield. Whenever Danny tried to pass a big truck on Hwy. 401, he had to keep the gas pedal to the floor and often got only as far as the truck driver’s door before having to fall back for lack of power.

Mike Filey, author of many books on the history of Toronto, reports that his first car was a 1949 Morris Minor “with one option, a heater, the fan of which was under the passenger’s seat.

Turn the device on and the person sitting beside me would rise two or three inches. The car also had mechanical brakes, a set of flipper directional signals, and was constantly infused with a not totally objectionable (at least not to me) aroma of burning oil.”

The car was maroon. Mike mixed several cans of paint to achieve a unique turquoise colour which he applied, starting at the front.

He ran out of paint before reaching the rear and pushed the paint the rest of the way by hand.

If the owner of the 1952 Morris Minor station wagon seen recently in Ottawa is reading this, please get in touch. We would love to feature your car in this column!

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

On Nov. 23, Lanark Laughs proudly presents Comedy Night, featuring Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legendary King of stand-up comedy, Mike MacDonald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge deal, a legend,â&#x20AC;? said organizer Ken Strangway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited.â&#x20AC;?

Diagnosed with Hepatitis C two years ago, the 57-year-old funnyman underwent a successful seven-hour liver transplant operation in March this year.

MacDonald has appeared on

However, donations will be accepted throughout the evening for Carleton Place Minor Hockey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show is for mature audiences only,â&#x20AC;? reminded Strangway.

Although not necessary, reservations are a good thing, he said, especially with MacDonald on the bill.

So why come out? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free entertainment, a chance to see a dying art,â&#x20AC;? said Strangway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Support local talent.â&#x20AC;?

Community – He’s BACK! Singer-songwriter Wayne Rostad and Light Up The Night festivities return to downtown Almonte (Mississippi Mills) Friday, Dec. 6.

Rostad, who was travelling last year in December, brings a booming voice and a great presence to the Mill Street stage, one that he has shared with his musical friends for the majority of the past 23 years.

“Wayne Rostad is Light Up The Night,” said LUTN committee chair Nancy Fulton. “He is our shining star living right here in our community. He is a music legend known nationally and we have him as host of one of the major Christmas season performances.”

Several thousand people line the main street of Almonte each year to hear Rostad and an entertaining line-up.

Rising star Brea Lawrenson, Voices of Praise, Johnny Spinks, Delaney Ziebarth, Marty McTiernan, Brad Munro, Cedar Hill Church Choir, Twinkle Fairies and the Snow Queen along with Santa Claus will delight the crowd.

Light Up the Night is the pride and joy of chair Fulton, Yvonne Stewart, Robin Moir, Tiffany MacLaren, Scott Newton, Calvin Murphy, Bram Karp, Don Willey and Gerry Huddleston. The committee fundraises year round

When Light Up the Night returns to downtown Almonte Friday, Dec. 6, singer-songwriter Wayne Rostad will be there too. A fixture at the holiday celebration, Rostad was absent last year due to touring obligations. and receives excellent support from area merchants, the town of Mississippi Mills and volunteers.

Dedicated volunteers set up and tear down the stage, including carpenters who donate their time and skills.

At 7 p.m. sharp on Dec. 6, Wayne Rostad hits the stage and begins a magical two-hour show of Christmas favourites.

You are all invited to come to Mississippi Mills.

As an entertainer, Wayne Rostad has become one of the most recognized voices and faces in Canada.

His award-winning television show, On the Road Again, touched millions of people from coast to coast as he came into their living rooms with classic stories about interesting Canadians.

Gerry Huddleston is a member of the Light Up the Night committee.

Dr Murphy why do I feel so SLUGGISH all the time?

So you’ve got that SLUGGISH feeling, did you know...

Feeling SLUGGISH leads to feeling OFF leads to feeling DOWN leads to feeling SAD leads to feeling DEPRESSED leads to feeling NERVOUS leads to feeling ANXIOUS leads to feeling EXHAUSTED leads to feeling USELESS leads to feeling LOST leads to LONELINESS leads to ISOLATION leads to TELEVISION leads to COMMERCIALS leads to MEDICATION leads to DRUGS leads to the beginning of THIS paragraph.

So how do you break this cycle?

Find out what is causing the ‘disconnect’ resulting in feeling SLUGGISH. The majority of people have a body that is working WAY TOO hard to breath, to beat a heart, to circulate blood, to digest food, to move bowels, to stay happy.

So many people are having a hard time seeing the relief that comes from a solid connection with God at this time of year.

Why? The cause can be a poorly functioning nervous system because of spinal misalignment, crushing on the nerves and spinal cord. You

get confused, frustrated with your health and where you are in life.

The nervous system is the wiring. God does the healing.

Get the kinks off the wiring with chiropractic care. Allow your brain to communicate FREELY with your body again! Open a channel of clarity for yourself.

The purpose of chiropractic care is to keep your spine in correct alignment for a lifetime.

Your spine needs to be in the correct alignment for you to feel ENERGIZED. Feeling ENERGIZED leads to feeling ON leads to feeling UP leads to feeling HAPPY leads to feeling BLESSED leads to feeling CERTAINTY leads to feeling JOYFUL leads to feeling ALERT leads to feeling USEFUL leads to feeling CONNECTED leads to COMPANIONSHIP leads to ACTIVITY leads to PARTICIPATION leads to FUN leads to FITNESS leads to CHIROPRACTIC leads to the beginning of THIS paragraph.

Which paragraph are you?

Blessings, Dr Murphy R0012427288_1121

Supporting Patients to go Home First from Almonte General Hospital Home First is a patient-centred philosophy focused on keeping patients safe in their homes for as long as possible with community supports. It is part of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s Aging at Home Strategy.

With funding from the Small Rural Northern Hospital Transformation Fund, Almonte General Hospital (AGH) is working with seven other area rural hospitals, the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), and our partners at the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) to embed this philosophy in our discharge planning processes.

The Home First philosophy is based on the belief that home is the destination of choice for our patients. Every effort is made to ensure patients return home at the end of a hospital stay.

Planning for long-term care, if it is required, takes place from home rather than the hospital.

Patients and their loved ones are involved with the

team in identifying the best options available to access care within their community.

Patients and families can expect the conversation about discharge to start when they are admitted.

The multidisciplinary team will collaborate and begin to evaluate the patient’s needs, coordinate with families as required, and identify referrals for home care or other services within 48 hours of admission.

This ad is generously underwritten by the THE EMC - A/CP14 - Thursday, November 21, 2013

Also within the first 48 hours of the hospital stay, a target date for discharge will be determined, based on the patient’s diagnosis and the care treatment he or she needs while in hospital.

Education on Home First, related new processes, and the consistent communication required to support the philosophy will take place across the Hospital with staff and physicians.

The team will work with the CCAC to identify and resolve perceived gaps in community service that could affect the success of Home First. They will plan for and carry out any improvements required to incorporate the Home First philosophy into daily practices and patient-centred goals.

By working together with patients, families and our partners in the community, the AGH team will support as many patients as possible to successfully return home after a hospital stay.

News – Maternity care at Almonte General Hospital (AGH) is ranked #1 in Ontario by patients asked the question, “Would you recommend this hospital to your family or friends?”

AGH is also in the 90th percentile of rated hospitals when the same question was asked about acute inpatient care and emergency department care. Being in the 90th percentile means AGH scored higher than 90 per cent of the other hospitals ranked in that category.

The results are in the report Patient Ratings of Overall Care and Likelihood to Recommend Ontario Hospitals 2011/12, released Nov. 18

by National Research Corporation Canada (NRCC).

“These excellent results reflect the efforts of our whole team,” said AGH president and chief executive officer Mary Wilson Trider. “Every member of the staff-from registration, through nursing, diagnostic, clinical and support services-along with the midwives, physicians and volunteers contributes to a positive patient experience.”

This is the second annual report that identifies Ontario’s top performing hospitals. Last year’s report also placed AGH in the 90th percentile for acute and emergency care in the category “Would you recommend this hospital to your family or friends?”

“I’d like to congratulate the entire AGH team for these outstanding results,” AGH board chair Paul Virgin. “Achieving top rankings for the second year in a row is a testament to AGH’s commitment to quality care for our patients.”

Canadians continue rise in rankings with two more victories broke a 2-2 tie with his 24th goal of the season from Evan Peterson 1:46 into the final frame to put the home team up. Craig Pefley then provided a little breathing room with the insurance marker on the power play at 18:02. Jim Roll and Luke Edwards assisted.

Despite firing 32 shots to their opponent’s 11, this game was tied 2-2 after 40 minutes, thanks in large part to outstanding goaltending of Colts all-star goalie Jordan Piccolino.

Sports – There appears to be no stopping the Carleton Place Canadians.

The top team in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) – now ranked sixth in the country according to the latest Canadian Junior Hockey League poll – ran its perfect home record to 14-0 this season with a 4-2 win over Cornwall Colts on Sunday. This after a heart-stopping last-minute win over the Braves in Brockville two nights before.

Now at 24-5-0-1 for 49 points, the Canadians maintain a 10-point advantage over both Smiths Falls (18-9-3-0) and Pembroke Lumber Kings (18-7-12), next closest in the overall standings.

In front of close to 400 fans at home Sunday afternoon, Canadians won 4-2, adding to the woes of the suddenly slumping Cornwall Colts, losers of five in a row.

Carleton Place dominated play, outshooting the visitors 40-20, but it took a pair of third period goals to ensure the victory.

SPORTS

Thunder drop two high-scoring affairs Sports – Lightning in the form of Mikael Gervais struck the Thunder a second time in a little over a week.

Gervais scored the overtime winner on the power play, giving the visiting Gatineau Mustangs a wild 8-7 win over the Almonte Thunder in Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) play Saturday night. A week earlier in Gatineau, Gervais also scored the winner, this time in the shootout in his team’s 4-3 victory.

Saturday, both teams had their offences in full gear, launching a combined 99 shots at the beleaguered goaltenders. Thunder built a 3-0 first period lead by the 16:52 mark of the first period on goals by Luke Martin, Justin Marquis and Andrew Rowbotham.

The Mustangs fought back with a pair of goals, but Liam Killeen restored a two-goal lead at 4-2 with his ninth goal at 4:39 of the second period.

Gatineau refused to go away and strung together four straight goals – the last two coming just five seconds apart early in the third period – to stake themselves to a 6-4 lead.

Thunder roared back this

time. Terry Mallon connected twice in less than a minute (at 5:52 and 6:31) to tie things 6-6.

Then Martin’s second of the game, a power play goal from Rowbotham and Brandon Mendham put the Thunder back ahead 7-6 at 10:13.

Again they couldn’t hang on and Vincent Lauzon scored the final goal of regulation, at 13:09 of the third, to knot the game at 7 and send it to overtime.

Several Thunder players posted big offensive numbers.

Terry Mallon led the way with two goals and three assists with Rowbotham scoring once and adding four helpers.

Hometown boy Liam Killeen, Thunder’s leading scorer, had a four-point night with a goal and three assists.

Thunder goalie Trevur Salomon suffered the loss despite making 44 saves off 52 shots. His Mustangs counter-

part, Justin Malette-Trottier, picked up the win with 40 saves.

It was a similar story the night before in Arnprior.

Thunder built an early 3-0 lead (goals by Cameron Cornwall, Justin Marquis and Brodie Braun) only to see the Packers come back with five straight goals, building a 5-3 lead by the midway mark of the third period.

Luke Martin pulled Almonte back to within a goal at 15:33 but Marc Shanks restored the Packers’ two-goal edge a minute later, leading to their 6-4 victory.

Special teams played a key role in this one. Packers were 2 for 6 on the power play while the Thunder was 0 for 4 with the man advantage.

Thunder travels to Renfrew Friday (8 p.m. puck drop), then hosts the Shawville Pontiacs Saturday. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

2013 Brett Pearson Run for Your Life in Carleton Place raises $5,787 tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – The 2013 Brett Pearson Run for Your Life was a huge success, raising an outstanding $5,787 and attracting more than 300 people.

Nicole Pearson of Carleton Place established the event, now in its third year, following her son’s death by suicide in 2006.

“The event is held in memory of Brett and others who are suffering from mental illness, depression and substance abuse,” Nicole explained.

This year the five-kilometre run/ walk fundraiser, which is sponsored by the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee (CPDSC), took place on Sept.

28 – Suicide Awareness Day. Last Tuesday, Nov. 12, Nicole at-

tended Carleton Place council and thanked Mayor Wendy LeBlanc for her “support and moving speech.” What’s more, she acknowledged the participation of council and town staff.

“Coun. Gary Strike and Mrs. Strike (Valerie) walked the five kilometres,” Nicole said, “and (treasurer) Phil Hogan is handling the funds from the run, issuing all the tax receipts.”

This year the CPDSC joined forces with the local Business Improvement Association (BIA) for the Brett Pearson Run for Your Life.

For Nicole, there aren’t enough words to describe “how heart warming it is for a mother, after losing her son to suicide, to have the support from the citizens of her own town.”

The $5,787 raised by way of the 2013 run will be put back into the communi-

ty, for presentations and workshops.

“The requests for presentations have already started coming in,” Nicole said.

“We’ve had eight requests from Smiths Falls.”

Message of Hope Nicole, a member of the CPDSC delivers ‘My Message of Hope’ to area schools, a story about the loss of her son. Often emotional, the conversation usually precedes presentations from the Ministry of Transportation Ontario Provincial Police about drugs and alcohol.

A Grade 11 student at Carleton Place High School, Brett was merely 16 when he died. He was suffering emotionally, experiencing feelings of sadness, helplessness and hopelessness. He became depressed and started skipping school.

His marks were dropping and he wasn’t

showing up at his part-time job. Brett’s personality changed and he turned to drugs as a way to escape his problems.

“Nov. 20 marks seven years that Brett left us,” Nicole said. “Every year it is a difficult day to get through, for me and the family.”

“You have made a difference,” said Coun. Jerry Flynn. “You have done remarkable things for young people.”

“Knowing that my son’s life is making a difference shows that his short stay with us was indeed special,” Nicole said. “I am proud to be Brett’s mom.”

Flynn, a member of the CPDSC with

Coun. Louis Antonakos, noted that Nicole was “a pleasure to work with.”

On behalf of her family, Nicole thanked council and the town for the stone in Brett’s memory.

“Mayor LeBlanc, you brought tears to my eyes when you mentioned this in your speech,” Nicole said. “I felt on top of the world. You are giving me the strength to carry on.”

“Brett’s legacy will continue in Carleton Place, as we move forward year after year with this event,” she continued.

The 2014 Brett Pearson Run for Your Life will be held on Sept. 27.

McNeely Medical Clinic lead physician offers clarification tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) chief executive officer (CEO) Toni Surko attended the town’s policy review committee meeting on Oct. 22, providing an update on the health-care organization’s redevelopment project and answering questions from council and members of the public.

Responding to a comment from resident Doug Snedden about erosion rates, Surko noted emergency department visits went down with the arrival of McNeely Medical Clinic; however, “they have since stabilized and are starting to go back up.”

“I’ve been hearing numbers over the last week or so about the degradation of services in the emergency department and the hospital in general,” Dr. Debra Weatherhead said, present for the meeting, “and sometimes I hear those numbers are put on us, our clinic.”

Weatherhead is lead physician and medical director at McNeely Medical Clinic, as well as chief of emergency medicine at Ottawa’s Queensway Carleton Hospital. With managing partner Laura MacFarlane she opened the clinic in 2010, which is located inside Steve’s Your Independent Grocer on McNeely Avenue.

“I understand some of these degradation numbers are starting at 2009,” the doctor said. “I lived in New Brunswick in 2009. I wasn’t responsible for anything

going on in 2009.”

“We opened in November 2010,” continued Weatherhead. “Therefore, we are not responsible for any degradation in numbers for that year.”

“For the past five years, if there is a pattern of degradation, the pattern was set for the first two years without us being present,” she added.

At last month’s Carleton Place & District

“We opened in November 2010. Therefore, we are not responsible for any degradation in numbers for that year.

DR. DEBRA WEATHERHEAD MCNEELY MEDICAL CLINIC

Chamber of Commerce Business Awards of Excellence Gala, McNeely Medical Clinic was nominated in the new business/venture category.

“We were very pleased,” Weatherhead said. “This was the first actual acknowledgement we received for our hard work and our fight to stand our ground in this community.”

McNeely Medical Clinic has brought three new family doctors working full-time to the area: Dr. Erin Jamieson, Dr. Christine Tai and Dr. Vaani Murthy.

“The last family doctor brought to this

area was Dr. Marcia Anne Spooner,” Weatherhead noted. “Dr. Spooner replaced Dr. (Martin) White.”

Not only does McNeely Medical Clinic have family doctors, it utilizes diagnostic imaging at the hospital very regularly.

“We provide a huge volume of service there,” Weatherhead said, “and most of our referrals are made to the specialists coming out to the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital.”

She said patients are thrilled when they hear they can see a specialist at home.

Until the lab moved out of the CPDMH, the clinic sent its patients there for blood work, etc.

“I hope this town and hospital embraces what McNeely Medical Clinic has done in the community,” Weatherhead concluded.

“Deb, you are right,” said Surko, speaking over the applause of council and members of the public. “It wasn’t my intention to lay blame. In fact, I spoke to council members about how it was a good thing the clinic came to town.”

“We have benefited from credentialing physicians,” the CEO continued. “They have picked up orphan patients. We are very blessed to have you in town.”

“I doubt you received a public thanks for coming here to Carleton Place,” said Probert.

“Here’s our opportunity to say thank you.”

“I appreciate that,” Weatherhead said.
