MPP’s son joins fight against ISIS Sam Cooley and Desmond Devoy desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Dillon Hillier, 26, the son of local MPP Randy Hillier, has joined in the fight against ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) on the side of Kurdish fighters or “Peshmerga.” Hillier flew to northern Iraq on Nov. 15 and has been fighting alongside the military coalition, whose name in Kurdish means “those who confront death.” In a battlefield interview, The Canadian Gazette reached Hillier on his smartphone at an undisclosed location in northern Iraq. “I’ve wanted to do something like this for years,” Hillier wrote, adding “fighting for the Kurds is a good cause.”

He said he was inspired by, of all things, media reports about Dutch and German bikers joining the fight against ISIS on the side of the Kurds and, now that he is fighting alongside the Peshmerga, he has found them to be “a professional military force.” In fact, as a more humble militia, when compared to his old regiment, the Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry (PPLI), there is no “endless paperwork to do,” and that when the time comes to get something done, “they just do it.” He has posted photographs online of his time in Iraq, but tipped his hat towards his old regiment, writing: “once a Patricia, always a Patricia.” During his weekend interview with The Canadian Gazette, Hillier sometimes had to cut his conversation short.

“There may not be a lot of time to talk, and planning a time is difficult, as the situation is fluid,” he wrote. A father’s home front worry In his only Canadian newspaper interview on the subject, conducted on Friday, Nov. 28, Randy Hillier, the Progressive Conservative MPP for LanarkFrontenac-Lennox and Addington said, “I’m very proud of what he is doing. I don’t want to amplify the dangers that he is in,” which is why, “I’ve been very reluctant to speak to the media,” having only issued a press release statement on the subject last month. Dillon was raised in Blacks Corners in Beckwith Township, before moving to the Perth area with his family in his See HILLIER page A/CP2

News – After four weeks on the Build a Mountain of Food campaign trail, organizer Hugh Colton is proud to report that they are right on target. But what he’s most impressed with after his weekend in Elgin and Westport, is that these two “small but mighty communities” brought in a whopping cash count. “Look at these numbers… $12,500 from these two communities in cash donations. That’s huge,” he said Monday as he finalized his figures from the weekend, with just two more weeks remaining in the 11-community food campaign. “I’m surprised,” he added. “The cash count has always blown me away. The pound count (of items of food collected) is a little down, but it balances out at the end of the day.” In Elgin, the campaign was set up at Gordanier’s Grocery Store where they were able to

50 banana boxes from Quattrocchi’s and that’s another 2,100 pounds for that food bank.” Those numbers have not been counted into the figures for the Build a Mountain of Food campaign, but that is the plan, Colton said. There was another $2,000 donation on Wednesday night from the Perth Civitan Club. A new partnership has reared its head for the campaign as the Lanark County Ambulance Service has offered to collect food in Perth, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place this weekend at several grocery stores. Not to be double-dipping, Colton said, but perhaps it will be a way for those who have used the service of the paramedics to have a chance to donate to the cause. “Or perhaps some people may have wanted to donated, but missed the opportunity,” he said. “We’re hoping it will be successful, and they have indicated they want to do it on an annual basis.” Look for the EMS teams out at Barnabe’s Independent Gro-

cer in Perth on Saturday morning, then in Smiths Falls at Food Basics that afternoon. On Sunday, the ambulance will be on site at Patrice’s Independent in Almonte in the morning and at Steve’s Independent in Carleton Place that afternoon. Week five will take Colton and the crew to the Portland Food Market on Saturday, Dec. 6, 9 a.m. to noon with all donations to the Portland Food Bank. From 1 to 4 p.m. the Merrickville Food Market will be busy during its annual Christmas in Merrickville, as donations to the campaign will be given to the Merrickville Lions Club Christmas Food Hamper Campaign. Finally, on Saturday Dec. 13 from 9 a.m. to noon, Colton will wrap his road-touring campaign with final stops at the Athens Fresh Mark, with all donations to the Athens Food bank, and from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Delta Country Market with all donations to the Delta Food Bank.

In Westport, they collected $6,240.40 and another 585 pounds of food for the Westport Food Bank. “We had Jim McGlade and his crew at St. Edward’s Church collect an amazing $1,401 in their loonies and toonies drive, and Neil Kudrinko donated another $1,000 on top of what we collected that day. He had $5, $10 and $15 gift cards that got us another $400,” Colton said.

LAWS membership at odds with process of electing new board of directors akulp@perfprint.ca

Ashley Kulp/METROLAND

Ontario Landowners Association president Jeff Bogaerts, who facilitated the annual general meeting of the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) Nov. 30 at the Carleton Place Legion, discusses the organization’s bylaws with a member. A slate of 15 board members was acclaimed during the meeting. However, the packed hall of members immediately took issue with that process. Former board president Hoyland indicated directors are to be voted in by the membership at the AGM. “…We (membership) have no idea who the directors are. We need to know who they are and we have to vote,” she said. “We don’t know if the membership wants these particular people as directors of this organization.” Incoming director Piche said that the process followed was sat-

isfactory. “There were 14 nominations, there was a call for nominations from the floor and you have 15 board members. They are automatically acclaimed,” he stated. Bogaerts agreed. “Fifteen board members are needed, there were 15 nominees. There was no 16th nominee, therefore there will be no vote, therefore they are acclaimed,” he reiterated. Former treasurer of LAWS, Joan Schapansky, noted in years past, the membership has “always voted individually for R0012872706_0911

News – The Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) has a new slate of directors, but the process of selecting them has the membership concerned. The board of directors was acclaimed during the organization’s annual general meeting (AGM) Nov. 30 at the Carleton Place Royal Canadian Legion. According to LAWS bylaws, a total of 15 director positions are available on the board. A nominations committee, headed up by former LAWS board president Melissa Rusk, had received 14 applications for director positions during the recent nomination process. Nominations were also accepted from the floor during the meeting, at which time acting board president James Kingsley put Rusk’s name forward as the 15th director. The new directors announced during the meeting, include: Rusk, Kingsley, Kathy Hoyland, Cathy Taylor, Jim Piche, Carleton Place deputy mayor Jerry Flynn, Johanne Marshall, Caroline Paterson, Alex Menzies, Tineke Doornbosch, Lauri Maitland, Dan Woods and Dave Linstedt. The official list of the board was not released as of press time. “Given that there are 15 names put forward and in the bylaws it states that there should be no more than 15, there will be no vote held,” noted Jeff Bogaerts, president of the Ontario Landowners Association, who facilitated the AGM.

LAWS’ sister organization, the Perth Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), said her concern is the qualifications of the incoming directors since the membership didn’t know who they were in advance. “My concern in LAWS moving forward into the future to be successful in today’s world…. we don’t know if any of these individuals have the skills that are required,” she said. “To build an organization you have to have a competent group of board members. The members should decide if we have a competent group and there should be a vote on those members.” Rusk noted that a skilled matrix was used to evaluate the skills of each nominee in order to ensure they fit with the organization’s strategic directions. “I can make that matrix available and we can run through these qualifications to see if everyone is in agreement,” she stated.

each director.” “There’s a motion, a seconding, discussion and a vote,” she said. “I understand what you’re saying, but I’m going through the bylaws and I don’t see that,” Bogaerts pointed out. Members also took issue with the fact that they hadn’t been given biographies on each of the board nominees prior to the meeting. Bogaerts indicated that information was available, if they asked and he read out the list of incoming board members. “I asked for documents required to do my job up here. I asked and I got the information I needed,” he stated. “This information was not held back, it was there for anyone who asked for it.” “This is totally inappropriate. It’s not the way it’s been done in the past and it’s not right to just put in all those members,” Schapansky stressed, adding that bylaws state directors should be elected. Susan Roach, a member of

Community Justice unveils new logo, board Habitat for Humanity recruiting families

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Lanark County Community Justice (LCCJP) made several exciting changes to their organization at the annual general meeting held on Wednesday, Nov. 26. While continuing to provide the same excellent service throughout Lanark County and the Town of Smiths Falls as a leader in the use of restorative practices, the organization felt it was time to freshen up their look and unveiled their new logo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;LCCJP has come a long way from its origins in 1998,â&#x20AC;? said executive director Beth Peterkin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We needed to look at our branding and update our look.â&#x20AC;? Peterkin, along with program co-ordinator Sheri Halladay, lifted the cloth covering an easel to reveal the new logo which is composed of a stylized â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jâ&#x20AC;? to form a circle, with a definite point on one side. Chair Christine Peringer explained â&#x20AC;&#x153;The circle represents the healing forums we conduct bringing the accused person(s) and the complainants together to heal the harm that has been done in our community, and the point indicates the way forward.â&#x20AC;? The new logo was designed by the board who collected suggestions and ideas from many sourc-

es, combined ideas and narrowed the choices, finally deciding on a colour scheme. Over the next several months, the new logo will be rolled out on the LCCJP website (www.commjustice.org) as well as on letterhead, business cards and promotional materials. The highlight of the evening was an address to the membership by Crown Attorney Kimberly Moore. She first worked in Lanark County as an Assistant Crown Attorney from 2001 to 2010 and was appointed as the Crown Attorney for Lanark County in 2011. Moore spoke passionately about her belief in restorative practices, such as those of the LCCJP and gave the membership some insight into how decisions to refer cases are made. The annual general meeting was held at the Perth Museum and Visitor Centre and was attended by more than 30 people. In addition to the regular business

meeting and the unveiling of the logo, a new board of directors was announced. The term of several directors was complete which left some vacancies on the board. An application process was undertaken over the past six weeks and the new slate was presented to the membership at the annual general meeting by outgoing directors, Karen Smereka and Jim Higginson. Steve Brown, Betty Jo Dean, Jennifer Dickson, Murray Long, Brian Peters, Christine Peringer and Keith Pinkney were accepted as the board of directors for the coming year. For more information about LCCJP and the work that we do, we invite you to contact us at 613-264-1558 or by email at beth@commjustice.org. We are always pleased to receive invitations to speak at service clubs or other community groups. Submitted by Lanark County Community Justice.

Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region (NCR) is seeking up to 10 families who are interested in partnering with the organization and purchasing a Habitat for Humanity home. Habitat for Humanity NCRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeownership model empowers hard-working, lowincome families to invest in homeownership. With the help of generous donors, sponsors and volunteers, Habitat for Humanity NCR builds and renovates simple, decent homes and then sells them to its partner families with no down payment and an interest-free mortgage. The families must be living in inadequate conditions and be able to meet specific financial requirements. They are required to complete 500 volunteer hours of â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweat equityâ&#x20AC;? before they can purchase their home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to say that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re offering a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hand up, not a hand out,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? says Alexis Ashworth, Habitat for Humanity NCRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief executive officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have an excellent program in place for our partner families that provides extensive homeownership training and sup-

port, from effective budgeting and home maintenance to being a good neighbour.â&#x20AC;? The non-profit is currently building four semi-detached homes in Orleans and expects to build 10 homes in the Ottawa area over the next few years. Habitat for Humanity NCR does not compete with other builders as it services a clientele who could never afford to buy a house or qualify for a conventional mortgage. It is funded through donations from volunteers, individuals, businesses, service clubs, foundations, manufacturers and distributors. Houses are built by volunteers, skilled tradespeople and journeymen who are caring individuals. Manufacturers and distributors in the construction industry donate their products to help build houses and reduce costs. Habitat for Humanity NCR has built 43 homes and renovated eight properties across the region since it was founded in 1993. As a member of Habitat for Humanity Canada, it is part of a worldwide network that spans 100 countries and has built or repaired more than 800,000 homes.

People who are interested in applying to become a partner family should watch Habitat NCRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s groundbreaking online homeownership information video to learn if they are eligible to purchase a Habitat for Humanity NCR home. For more information about homeownership, sponsorship opportunities or volunteering, contact Habitat for Humanity NCR at 613-749-9950 ext. 225 or go to www.habitatncr.com. About Habitat for Humanity NCR Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region (NCR) is celebrating more than 20 years of building homes and building hope in our community. The non-profit organization mobilizes volunteers, sponsors, donors and tradespeople to build safe, decent and affordable homes and then sells them with long-term, no-interest mortgages to hard-working, lowincome families. People of all faiths and cultures are warmly welcomed by Habitat for Humanity NCR. Submitted by Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region.

we’ve begun to hear stories of discontent taking place in and around the shelter. Tensions and emotions were high…” she said. “As uncomfortable as this may be, it’s important and productive to acknowledge these feelings and find a way to move forward. Conflict can be a positive element for all groups.” Roach said conflict “erodes our foundation to the point where we can’t carry on effectively.” “LAWS may become perilously close to this reality,” she continued. The entire membership has compassion for animals or they wouldn’t be involved with the organization, Roach said. “We need to provide food, shelter, care and most of all, hope to our animals for a forever home,” she noted. “This is who we are, the people of LAWS. Our job is saving animals from an abusive past and connect them with new owners who delight in becoming a family.” The third guest speaker at the meeting was LAWS legal counsel, Terrence Green, who spoke about the directors’ liability and implications for LAWS. Green said he has been very active in the organization for the last six months. “Liability is a serious issue and every one of us do have liability in our daily lives, work or activities,” he stated, adding that directors who take on this role within

LAWS must understand that they are responsible for the “global picture of what LAWS is to become over the next year.” “The benefit of being on a board of directors is if a decision is made from a position of knowledge…they are called decisions of good faith,” he explained. “When decisions are made in good faith, the courts and legal system will not interfere with them.” However, when they aren’t, directors can be held liable. “It’s quite clear. People who are nominated and stand for election must know what they’re getting into.” The floor was opened up for

questions to Green and Lowson asked him to address the recent Metroland newspaper article where Kingsley stated only one staff member was let go from LAWS. “Can you tell us what the accurate numbers are?” she asked. “…This is neither the place, nor the time to do that. It’s part of the day-to-day operations of LAWS. It’s not something that should go to a meeting of members.”

organization’s financial situation during the AGM. Thompson admitted revenue was down significantly in 2014 ($318,603) over 2013 ($593,427), but attributed that to fewer intakes for pound services and a one-time anonymous $100,000 donation made in 2013. Expenses are also down, particularly in the areas of wages ($267,722 in 2014 compared to $386,450 in 2013) and vet expenses ($62,424 in 2014 compared to Treasurer’s report $102,712 in 2013), Thompson LAWS treasurer, Leann also stated.

“The bylaws don’t allow for that,” Bogaerts interjected. “Your bylaws do not indicate what you’re asking. You’re not even able to change the bylaws right now…” LAWS member Laura Lowson, also the bylaw enforcement/animal control officer for the Township of Montague, wondered if directors were elected in previous years, “where’s the grandfathering gone and why the secrecy in not putting (nominees) up on the website?” Hoyland said if the board of directors were acclaimed, she expected the membership would call a special meeting. “If you don’t allow the membership to vote, I have a pretty good feeling that there will be a special meeting of the membership to remove members from the board,” she said. “We should go ahead and conduct ourselves with how we’ve done in the past and carry on…” However, Bogaerts said the language in the bylaws dictates how the meeting is conducted. “This whole process has been hijacked. I can tell you now that a lot of members will leave…we have the right, as members, to elect the directors and you’re taking that away from us,” Schapansky exclaimed. “It’s not me, it’s your bylaws,” Bogaerts shot back.

Piche said there were two ways to deal with the issue: adjourn the meeting and resume it at a later date or accept the acclamation of the board and call the special meeting. “We have quorum, so that first one is not an option,” Bogaerts stated. “…Your bylaws are antiquated and I’m restricted by what your bylaws say…the bylaws are the bylaws.” Rusk suggested the nominees present could speak a bit about themselves. Three chose to do so: Doornbosch, a longtime cat volunteer with LAWS; Piche, a dog lover who has a background in bylaws and governance; and Woods, who believed his skillset could aid the organization. Guest speakers As the meeting was called to order by Bogaerts, he introduced new Carleton Place mayor Louis Antonakos, who said he was looking forward to strengthening the relationship between the town and LAWS. “The Town of Carleton Place is very committed to working with this organization to solve and improve all the outstanding issues we have out in our local community here and this county,” Antonakos stated. In her presentation to the membership, Roach reflected on the current unrest within LAWS and urged the membership to find a common ground. “Over the past several weeks,

Lanark County council to receive first 2015 budget overview Dec. 17

Hostel agreement proceeds Council has authorized the renewal of an agreement with various hostels throughout the county and Town of Smiths Falls to provide services for 2015. These include Rideau Ferry Country Home, Victoria House, Paradise Valley and Countryview Lodge, as well as a month-to-month agreement with Villa Montague (formerly Shardon Manor) until permanent ownership is confirmed. The program provides a permanent residence and some support for daily living for people with special needs, such as persons with serious mental illness, addictions, developmental disabilities and/or the frail/elderly. In a report to the community services committee, social housing manager Sandy Grey said this group would be at risk of homelessness without the program. Staff visit the hostels each year to review required standards and ensure compliance, and there is regular monitoring throughout the year. The health unit and fire departments certify facilities for health and safety requirements. With the cost of providing shelter increasing as energy, property taxes and food costs rise, council has also authorized an increase in the per diem rate provided to hostel operators, as well as an increase in the personal needs allowance rate. Domiciliary hostels are funded through the Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative allocation provided to the county by the provincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

Council accomplishments highlighted To mark the last meeting for the current term of council, warden Richard Kidd presented outgoing councillors with stained-glass plaques created by Mississippi Mills-area artist Stephen Braithwaite. He commended those councillors for their hard work and for the strength of ideas they brought to the table. “There is no use for us being here if we are all thinking the same way,” he said. “With a diverse group it is a lot easier to reach decisions.” Several outgoing councillors expressed their thanks for the support from council and county staff over the years and highlighted accomplishments and experiences. Council also accepted a report from chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves outlining a long list of those accomplishments by the 2010-2014 council. Several projects were related to infrastructure, such as the fire communications system, various road and bridge projects and paved shoulders. Corporate initiatives included development charges, recruitment and restructuring, asset management, a capital investment plan, the Sustainable Community Official Plan project, the sale of the 5N property and the renovation/new construction of public works facilities. Other highlights included the Renovate Lanark Program, the Ten Year Housing and Homelessness Plan, the Energy Management Plan, the Rural Connections High-Speed Internet Project, the Deer Lake evacuation, the Automated External Defibrillator program, the CP/Ottawa Valley Railway “Rails to Trails” project, OPP costing discussions, support

Receiving additional funds for homelessness initiative Council has authorized the acceptance of additional funding for 2014/2015 for the Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI). CHPI was introduced by the pro-

vincial Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in 2013 to consolidate homelessness-related programs. It aims to prevent, address and reduce homelessness by improving access to adequate, suitable and affordable housing linked to support services. The county received $876,053 for 2014/2015, with an additional $339,525 announced this fall. The most common assistance provided here is housing loss prevention, such as payment of rent arrears, energy arrears and last-month rent deposits. Using the county’s Ten Year Housing and Homelessness Plan as a guide and in consultation with community partners, staff will recommend a strategy for the additional funds to the community services committee in January. One program to be presented is a contract with a community partner to provide homelessness services outside of regular business hours for social services offices.

News – The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, Nov. 26. Lanark County councillors will receive their first budget overview on Dec. 17 with a presentation about Lanark Lodge, followed by “Financial Friday” on Jan. 9, when the rest of the departments will present their proposed budgets. At the corporate services committee meeting earlier this month, chief administrative officer Kurt Greaves congratulated outgoing councillors on their efforts towards sustainability with the county budget. For 2015, Greaves is projecting growth of 1 to 1.5 per cent and an equivalent tax increase. “In the last two years we have increased the net capital levy by $1.1 million with total real tax increases of zero per cent and less than 1.5 per cent,” he said.

It’s simple: lock it or lose it

ditorial – With the Christmas season in full swing and with news this past week that the Ontario Provincial Police are taking part in the Ontario-wide Lock It or Lose It Campaign, now is as good a time as any to remind a surprisingly large segment of the population that leaving car doors unlocked or leaving items of value inside a vehicle and in plain view is, in a word, stupid. We respect the freedom of choice that local residents have when it comes to locking the doors of their homes, garages and vehicles. As much as it shouldn’t be the case, no one should be surprised these days when an unlocked car or truck becomes a crime scene. We know this has been an issue in portions of many communities in Lanark County for several years. Car owners find that someone has violated their property and made off with everything from wallets, purses, laptops and other devices. The police would report on the thefts and remind the public to lock their vehicles

and not to leave valuables in plain view or in their vehicles at all. That would work until the next thief comes along and takes advantage of the opportunity provided by owners who haven’t learned their lesson or choose not to change how they do things just because of some petty crook. And don’t rule out identity theft as a possible motive to open an unlocked door or two. Anyone who leaves credit cards or even credit card documents in a car could be at risk. Some police are now advising motorists to take vehicle ownership and insurance slips with them rather than leaving those materials unattended in a glove compartment – especially if those doors are unlocked. A kid stealing a few bucks from a coin holder is one thing; a more savvy criminal stealing your identity and ruining your credit is a much more costly possibility to consider. So if a local OPP officer leaves a note on your car indicating which safety precautions have been overlooked, be thankful for the advice and do something about it.

next morning. My sister Audrey had made sandwiches and packed them in separate brown paper bags with a couple oatmeal cookies, which would be our lunch, since we expected to be in Renfrew well into the afternoon. We would be leaving the farm early, after a hasty breakfast. Before we children were even out of bed, Mother and Father would have arranged everything on the flat bottom sleigh, on top of layers of quilts covered with sparkly white flour bag sheets, and more blankets on top. Each fowl had to be placed just so if we hoped to sell them quickly. We knew the butter and mother’s sticky buns would go as soon as Father parked the sleigh. Parking the sleigh was another rea-

the men who came yearly from Ottawa, would concentrate on the centre of Raglan Street. Of course, with the big sleigh covered with all the stuff Mother and Father hoped to sell, there was no room for us five kids, so we went in the double cutter, following

busiest stores in the entire town of Renfrew. He parked the sleigh, unhitched the horses and with Everett driving the cutter, they headed for the stables at the end of Raglan street. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long until all the butter and the sticky buns were gone. I could see Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s little change purse starting to bulge. This was going to be good day. I could feel it in my bones! And the excitement of visiting the five and dime store was mounting by the minute. And then came the men in the long white coats, just like old Doctor Murphy wore at the hospital, over their winter outerwear. They had red embroidery on their pockets letting everyone know they were from Canada Packers and they were all business, let me tell you. The dream, of course, was to have them buy everything you had on the sleigh in one fell swoop. They took off their big fur mitts and poked the turkeys, lifted a goose high

They obviously made Mother and Father an offer they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t refuse, because I saw one of the white-coated men take a wad of bills out of his pocket as big as pickle crock and start counting out the money into Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstretched hand. Another of the men walked quickly away and before you could pledge allegiance to the flag, a big green truck pulled up beside our sleigh and they began loading everything into the cavity that looked to me like it could hold two full-grown heifers. And then our sleigh was empty! The look of sheer joy on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face was something to behold. Father, who rarely showed emotion of any kind, kept saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, by golly...well, by golly,â&#x20AC;? as he lit and relit his pipe. Emerson and Everett were sent to

with their pockets and change purse bulging at the seams, we five kids felt we had been done out of a day of excitement, all because three fat men wearing white coats cleared our sleigh with one fell-swoop. Turkey Fair Day was over for another year. Mother could see our disappointment and when the big sleigh turned into Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store at Northcote, she made up for it, giving us each a nickel to buy what we want.

Emerson headed for the licorice pipes, the others bought hard Christmas candy. I asked Mr. Briscoe to cut me off a couple slices of bologna, which I ate before we hit the cutter, so the day wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a total loss after all.

Free course available for Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program volunteers Community – It’s FUN to Move!, a new eLearning course for volunteers with the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program was just released. This free course covers basic skills to get started volunteering with the program as well as a new module on fundamental movement skills. The concept behind fundamental movement skills (FMS) is that it’s important for all of us to develop basic movement skills early. Mastering these skills set us up for a healthier, happier life. FMS include locomotor skills like hopping, jumping, and running; manipulative skills such as catching, kicking,

and throwing; and stability skills of balance, coordination, and twisting. For many participants in the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program, some of these skills can be hard to master in traditional school and sport environments. The program offers ways that riders can practice, improve, and stretch their capabilities in all areas. The natural movement of the horse causes the rider’s pelvis, trunk, and shoulder girdle to react in ways very similar to those of a natural human walking gait. The horse’s gait stimulates a natural instinct for the rider to balance and maintain good posture. Riders in the program also go through

a series of exercises that help to reduce spasticity, strengthen muscles, and increase coordination and flexibility. The new eLearning is geared towards volunteers who work with the participants and the horses. It helps volunteers better understand the active role they can play in developing participants’ fundamental movement skills. This training was made possible by funding from the Government of Ontario. It was designed and developed by Catherine Orfald of conex design. For more information or to try the course, see www.conexdesign.com. To find out more about or get involved with the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding

Program, see www.therapeuticriding.ca/ Volunteers. About the Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program Therapeutic riding is a unique and holistic approach to therapy, rehabilitation and recreation. The Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program provides a safe environment introducing children and adults to the benefits and joys of the healing powers of the horse. It has offered a specialized form of horseback riding to people with physical and/or developmental disabilities in Lanark County since 1986. Volunteers are an integral part of the program’s team.

Lanark County Interval House encouraging third party fundraising events 1989 at Ecole Polytechnique, 14 women were killed in 20 minutes by a gunman who was specifically targeting women he identified as feminists. On a lighter note, Beauties of the Beast, a women’s snowmobile club is also holding a fundraiser on Jan. 31. They will be riding to Barry’s Bay, staying overnight and returning the next day. They have chosen LCIH as the organization to receive the sponsorship from these women riders. For more information, visit www.snowmobile.on.ca or contact jabedard@storm.ca. Importance of fundraisers Third party fundraising events have become more and more important to the sustainability of LCIH. While we receive funding from the provincial government, we raise almost twenty percent of our operating expenses through local activities.

As time and staff get stretched trying to make ends meet, we rely more and more on our extended community to help. This year saw several new or newly expanded events. We had the Wellness of Women (Wowfit) centre in Perth hold a yoga session and donate the proceeds in March. They in turn challenged other businesses in Perth, and Two Guys for Lunch reacted and held a spaghetti supper in May and donated all the proceeds to LCIH. In August, Amanda and Kelsi from Bayshore Home Health wanted to help, so they decided to “take flight with wings of Courage” and go skydiving. They gathered sponsors, and then jumped! There was so much support, this will likely become an annual event. September saw a large crowd at Angels Roost Organic Spa for “Loving You” personal wellness day. They had local organic foods, tarot reading, yoga, photo booth,

INCREDIBLE PRICING ON EXCEPTIONAL USED VEHICLES! WE KNOW CARS!

music, crafts and a lot of fun. Again, this expanded event will be repeated next year. In October, Shoppers Drug Mart and the people of Smiths Falls were very generous with their Tree of Life campaign and again this year donated the funds raised to Lanark County Interval House. Foodsmiths in Perth hosted a ladies day where they sampled coffees and treats, mini makeovers, demos and prizes and donated the funds to LCIH, this was their second contribution this year, as we also received their “bring a bag” donation. Foodsmiths collects the money saved from customers brining reusable bags, and donates the funds to a different charity each month. We are grateful for their support. In Carleton Place, Ballygiblin’s hosted a “Feed the Fight to End Violence Against Women” evening and patrons enjoyed an upscale dinner, served by celebrity servers, emceed by radio personalities and

the profits were donated to LCIH. This year we were very fortunate to be selected by the Keller Williams VIP Realty “Laughs for Charity” organizers. They hosted an evening of comedy, cocktails, live and silent auction and LCIH was one of three groups to receive funds generated by the event. November also saw three of the most important fundraising events that LCIH runs every year. Nov. 8 and 9 saw our 26th Women’s Fair and our seventh annual Violet Femmes gala took place on Nov. 21. Later this month, our winter fundraising mailed appeal will go out and we count on our community to be generous as always during this very busy, challenging and family-oriented time of year. For more information about LCIH’s programs, services and events, visit lcih.org. Submitted by Lanark County Interval House.

Industry built around babies is just mind-boggling Lifestyle – There is a full-scale baby invasion underway in the Maguire household. The evidence is everywhere! Infant toys including stuffed objects, musical devices, plastic items, wooden blocks and something called “WubbaNubs” are scattered around the living room. For the uninitiated, a WubbaNub is a baby pacifier attached to a bean-filled stuffed animal. Kathleen is always saying we need more counter space in our kitchen. But at the moment my wife is quite content to have a third of the available space covered with formula containers, baby bottles and inserts, plastic serving bowls and spoons, a steamer and all manner of other items and devices. There is even a “Baby Bullet” which, by the way, is not a toy vehicle or weapon. It’s actually just a small blender for reducing vegetables and fruit to mush. For the first time in decades we currently have an infant high chair in our kitchen. On the lower level of our house some of the contents of the guest bedroom have been re-distributed in the family room. In their place is a combination crib/playpen. The first thing you see on entering the family room is a “Jumperoo” a spinning device which allows an infant access to a variety of activities and featuring lights, music and sounds. I’m sure most of you have already guessed that the reason for all the baby

fuss and bother is that we have a special guest in the house. Our little granddaughter Lily, along with her parents Heather and Indy, are on a long-term visit from Regina where they currently live. Heather (our daughter) and her partner, an engineer for an Ottawa-based firm, arrived in mid-November and will be with us until after Christmas. He is working and taking courses in eastern Canada at present. Despite the dramatic impact Lily and her parents have made on our home and our lives, we couldn’t be happier. Lily is our first grandchild and, at nearly nine months, she is an absolute delight. As I said about her in the column I wrote after her birth in March, I immediately fell head over heels in love with my new granddaughter. During this visit the bond between us continues to grow stronger. Lily comes with baggage – lots of it. And since her arrival our usually miniscule weekly trash and recycling output has more than doubled. So too has our grocery bill. But hey, that’s what grandparents are here for! During a month-long visit by the baby and her parents in August things were somewhat chaotic. There was stuff spread all over the house and Kathy was not amused.

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

better organized and, give her credit, she definitely is. The weekends before our family’s arrival were spent preparing the lower level of our home for their use. Now that they are here our laundry room, for example, is a picture of precision. Kathy has several fold-up bins in place for dirty clothes, all of them colour coded. We’ve all been given specific instructions which ones we are to use and which not to use. These days, the clothesline is generally filled with baby bibs, tiny shirts and pants. The bedroom closet and vanity were totally cleared and waiting for them. So too were the large shelves which normally hold my substantial collection of travel books, magazines and brochures collected during our many trips overseas and across this continent. They are in boxes (temporarily I hasten to add) and those shelves too are now filled with Lily’s “stuff”. Our special guests are not living out of suitcases this time around. Their Better organized Prior to this visit she vowed to be clothes are neatly hung in the closet or

folded and sitting in the dresser drawers. “Organization” is the buzz word in the Maguire household these days! Grandma, on the other hand, can’t stop buying things for the baby. Every time she goes shopping she comes home with something else. Last week it was a TV remote – well, a baby one, it doesn’t really change channels. One of Lily’s favourite objects of the moment is television controllers, because when she touches them with her tiny fingers red lights flash. All of the purchases of course only add to the incredible amount of material that will go with Lily when she travels to stay with Indy’s parents in Montreal at New Year’s and which her parents will have to haul back to Regina in early January. And Christmas is still three weeks away! After Lily and Heather had gone to bed one night last week (Indy was in Toronto on business) I sat looking at all the baby stuff in our upstairs living room and shook my head in amazement! Thanks goes to a number of our friends here who have loaned us toys and equipment that could not be easily transported from Saskatchewan but makes life with a baby much easier. Still, whatever happened to the days when a baby’s traveling kit was a pile of cloth diapers and a rattle? The diapers had to be stored somewhere and diaper pails don’t travel well.

So you can picture the commotion that went with that scenario. Not to mention the odor! Today it is all about disposable diapers. Diapers that are “guaranteed not to leak.” Very nice for modern parents. The used product ends up in a perfumed bag (biodegradable I trust) which is then deposited in the trash. Our granddaughter is quite the little fashion plate. Heather dresses her immaculately and everywhere she goes she is looking for the next size in clothes as Lily grows. I have been getting quite the education about the truly incredible industry which surrounds babies and child rearing in the new millennium. At one time department stores used to have small baby sections. As the demand for infant apparel and equipment grows, so too do those areas. Major retailers devote a lot of floor space to little ones “needs.” Whether they need it or not. Of course there are lots of establishments today which are devoted exclusively to infants. Some sell only toys (for children of all ages) while others deal mainly in clothes and foot wear. Baby shoes, boots and socks today are something to behold. Our Lily is quite the little fashionista when it comes to footwear. I want to make it clear that there is See COLUMN page 23

‘Christmas With The King’ Dec. 20 at Perth’s Studio Theatre Arts – Christmas was Elvis Presley’s favourite time of year, and carols and gospel music held a special place in his heart. In his annual Christmas show, “Christmas With The King”, world-famous tribute artist Gino Monopoli captures the essence of what Elvis was all about – he was happiest when he was relaxing with family and friends, enjoying the uplifting songs of the season, as well as songs from his own repertoire. On Saturday, Dec. 20 at 8 p.m. Gino Monopoli brings his popular Christmas show to the Studio Theatre in Perth, a fun-filled mix of popular and traditional music, in the spirit of Elvis at home in Graceland. It’s the premiere event of the 2014 holiday season. We were prompted to bring Gino back to Perth for a second time this year by the tremendous response to his sold-out show in June. We also wanted to offer something different from the standard type of Christmas concert seen year after year the world over. And a glowing newspaper article about Gino’s 2013 Christmas show in Smiths Falls made our decision to bring him back an easy one! Even though our Dec. 20 show comes just a few days after he returns from an exhausting tour of Australia, Gino has kindly agreed to postpone a scheduled vacation in order to be here with us in Perth. So we are especially pleased to bring this wonderful,

nothing elitist about baby wear and toys. Much of what is on the market is surprisingly inexpensive. Changing market Part of the reason for the lower prices today is the changing international marketplace, coupled with the fact discriminating buyers aren’t going to pay a fortune for clothes kids quickly grow out of. Consignment stores also offer a good alternative for anyone with babies and especially those on tight budgets. Many such outlets are operating in our community and across the region. The good news is that most infant apparel, toys, furniture and equipment is handed down or passed on to family and friends. That’s one tradition that has never changed during my lifetime. Today many young families donate their used baby clothes

Gino Monopoli, above in character as Elvis ‘The King’ Presley, will bring his annual Christmas show, ‘Christmas With The King’, to Perth’s Studio Theatre on Saturday, Dec. 20. family-friendly show to you, just in time for Christmas! Tickets are $30 (inclusive of taxes) at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street, Perth. Call 613-267-6817 or visit Shadowfax.on.ca (credit cards accepted).

and materials to charity. I know there will be youngsters in Saskatchewan who will benefit from Lily’s lightly worn clothing for example. Last week I took Heather and Lily shopping one afternoon. We visited a new outlet mall in west Ottawa including a shop which is strictly for little ones. On the way out we bumped into a lady who, judging by her age had to be a grandmother. She paused just inside the front entrance and said to me, “Oh my God. I can’t go in here. I’m already tired just looking at all this stuff!” I laughed and nodded my head in agreement. It was mind-boggling all right. Admittedly there are highend market products for babies, some of which are well over the top. I feel that most of that kind of material – gadgets for example – is purchased for the gratification of adults and not for children who are too young to appreciate all the

bells and whistles. Is Lily spoiled? No doubt! But hey, that too is a grandparents’ right. Still, I have to laugh at what keeps her busy during the day and amuses her the most. Her wide array of store bought or loaned toys and baby gadgets? No, not at all. When Lily is cranky and needs to be kept occupied until bedtime it isn’t the expensive items in her parents’ baby arsenal that is brought to bear. Instead they simply hand her an empty envelope, a newspaper flyer or a scrap of paper. A huge smile comes over her face, she laughs out loud and has a whale of a time waving, bending, folding and tearing the paper. Lily is an advertisement for the fact that keeping it simple is the best course to follow when it comes to children.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Brilliantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; the word of the day at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It seems to be the word of the day. Patron after patron coming out of the first weekend of performances of BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (BDP) Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!) at Full Circle Theatre summed it up with the same sentence: â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are brilliant!â&#x20AC;? Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!) is a remount of BDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s holiday season offering from last year and a patron, who also saw it in 2013, exclaimed: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How is it possible that they are even funnier than last year?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;? are a trio of veteran BarnDoor Productions performers. David Bird, Joe Laxton and David Jacklin bring a combined 80 or so years of theatre experience to the show and the result is hilarity. Audiences laugh from beginning to end of the 100minute show as they are treated to a whirlwind of fun, from Birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repeated (and failed) attempts to perform Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Christmas Carol to Laxtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piratical rendition of A Childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Yukon Cornelius (David Jacklin), Hermy The Orthodontist Elf (David Bird) and Gustav The Green-Nosed Reingoat (Joe Laxton) prepare to face the fearsome â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bumble in BarnDoor Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!). The hilarious and zany show runs Thursday through Sunday this week at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre.

Christmas With Whales to outrageous (and factual) Christmas traditions around the world and even a TV game show all about fruitcake. And there is much more, as well. Director Janice Jacklin keeps the action moving at a blistering pace, so much so that one high school student seeing the show asked â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can those old guys have that much energy?â&#x20AC;? The answer is experience and the fact that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;old guysâ&#x20AC;? are having as much fun up on the stage as the audience does watching the show. There is plenty of opportunity for interaction and ad-libbing with the audience and for reacting to whatever comments that audience â&#x20AC;&#x153;volunteersâ&#x20AC;? may make, keeping the show fresh and exciting for the performers, as well as totally unpredictable for the viewers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a show for all ages and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full of the most fun you can have about the holiday season.

Re-think your drinking: Know the standard drink sizes drinking by providing safe drinking tips and times when zero is the limit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Choice mattersâ&#x20AC;? is an important topic because of the way alcohol impairs our judgment and reaction time. Did you know it can take three hours to remove alcohol from your body from just two drinks? During the holidays and at all times, it is important to remember that, according to the Ministry of Transportation, even small amounts of alcohol affect your brain and it is hard to assess how impaired you might be. Plan ahead and choose not to drive if you are drinking. When are those times when zero is the limit? The guidelines recommend zero is the limit when you are: â&#x20AC;˘ Driving a vehicle; â&#x20AC;˘ Doing any kind of physical activity; â&#x20AC;˘ Responsible for the safety of others; â&#x20AC;˘ Making important decisions; â&#x20AC;˘ Taking medication or other drugs that interact with alcohol (such as energy drinks); and â&#x20AC;˘ Living with mental or physical health problems.

Planning to become pregnant and during pregnancy or breastfeeding are also times when no alcohol is the best choice. Low risk drinking supports healthy lifestyles. When it comes to alcohol, size matters. Following the low-risk drinking guidelines can help you decrease health risks! Understanding standard drink sizes matters since some drinks have more alcohol in them than others. Here are some things to keep in mind: â&#x20AC;˘ One standard drink means one, 12oz bottle of five per cent alcohol, beer, cider or cooler; one, 1.5oz shot of 40 per cent hard liquor (vodka, rum, whisky, gin, etc.); one, 5oz glass of 12 per cent wine. â&#x20AC;˘ Women should drink no more than three drinks on any single occasion. Men should drink no more than 4 drinks on any single occasion. To reduce longterm health risks, women should drink no more than 10 drinks a week and men should drink no more than 15 drinks a week. â&#x20AC;˘ Remember that a cooler, beer or cider may have more than 5 per cent al-

cohol which means it is not a standard drink. For more information on how to rethink your drinking, please visit our website: www.healthunit.org or call the Health ACTION Line at 1-800-660-

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the first time ever, Canada has one national set of low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines. These guidelines, intended for Canadians of legal drinking age who choose to drink alcohol, aim to provide consistent information across the country to help Canadians moderate their alcohol consumption and make informed choices. The new guidelines outline standard drinks sizes and limits for men and women, discuss when the limit is zero, and provide healthy alternatives and tips to decrease health risks. Drinking alcohol is a personal choice and the majority of people drink responsibly. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not asking you to stop drinkingâ&#x20AC;Śinstead we want you to re-think your drinking and gradually reduce the amount of alcohol you consume as part of a healthy lifestyle. If you choose to drink, these guidelines can help you decide when, where, why and how. Remember during the holidays that when it comes to alcohol, choice matters. The low-risk alcohol drinking guidelines can help you plan ahead when you are

And I have the sweet personality to go with it. They say Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy-go-lucky, playful and good-natured. Aww shucks, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just a young medium-large hound mix who wants to make friends with everyone. I get along just fine with most dogs and would make an excellent family dog.

Baggins She is fluffy, black cat with stunning eyes and because of her longer hair needs regular grooming which she enjoys. Baggins was a stray cat, but so lovely and friendly that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure she had a loving home before. So far nobody came looking for her. We hope that one of our readers will recognize her as being their cat. Baggins really doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be confined to her small kennel. She would love to be in a home on a warm clean bed where she gets cuddles and kisses.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recently moved into the cat run where they get to play with other cats. Initially shy as they had never played with other cats, Lana went into hiding. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve now both come out of their shell and enjoy having a little more space to wiggle around. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both very affectionate, healthy and very pretty.

Jack and the Beanstalk opens Dec. 4 for two-week run at Station Theatre Arts – The 2015 season of plays at the Station Theatre has been announced. And it’s a worthy successor to the great season ending this month with the hilarious Christmas pantomine, Jack and the Beanstalk. Next year, it’s a delightful mix of a couple of comedies, a mystery, a farce, the Canadian premiere of a children’s

musical and another Britishstyle Christmas pantomime. The theatre is offering patrons an opportunity to attend all of the six plays presented next year for just $99. This season ticket comes in the form of a “Six-Pack Flex Pack”. Patrons can select how they want to use their six vouchers to purchase tickets to any of our six shows

in the 2015 season. The deal – which is good up to the deadline of Feb. 22 – offers a saving of almost 20 per cent compared to the regular adult ticket price. Go to www.smithsfallstheatre.com for detailed information on the different ways the “Six-Pack Flex Pack” can be purchased and used throughout the next season. The voucher package makes a great Christmas gift. Don’t miss out. Jack and the Beanstalk, a play for young people of all ages, is set to run from Dec. 4 to Dec. 14, bringing frantic action, lavish costumes, dancing and familiar songs to the stage. Director Emily Duberville, who grew up in England attending Christmas pantos, has assembled a cast of talented youthful actors and experienced veterans and

readied them for an outstanding performance. Mike Adams stars as the Dame, a male cast in a female role in the best tradition of the English pantomime. Jenny Jasiak, age 15, plays the Principal Boy, Jack. Although young, Jenny has already been in four pantomimes in her stage career. Bethany Duberville, one of many Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI) students in this production, plays the Principal Girl, Princess Demelza, in her ﬁrst major role. Some of the zaniest action revolves around Daisy the Cow, played by Sheila Jasiak and Shawna Merkley (front and back end respectively).

Ontario Provincial Police keeping the roads safe this holiday season Tara Gesner

“Just because a person feels okay in the morning, his or her blood alcohol may still be high,” Croth said. Police can issue an immediate roadside driver’s licence suspension to individuals who register a blood alcohol concentration in the warn range, between .05 and .08. Anything over .08 will result in arrest and an impaired driving charge. Because they can’t be everywhere, police rely on the public’s help immensely. “If you suspect someone is driving or is about to drive impaired, call 911,” Croth said, “and make sure you get a description of the vehicle and note the licence plate number.” People engaging in any activities that may affect their ability to drive

tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – The Carleton Place detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is cracking down on impaired driving during the upcoming holiday season, launching its annual Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere) campaign on Nov. 24. Sgt. Rob Croth told the Canadian Gazette the province-wide initiative is an enhancement over and above the OPP’s regular RIDE program that runs 365 days a year. “We want to make drivers aware of the importance of driving sober and safe during the holidays,” he said. “Officers will be setting up RIDE checkpoints at any time and anywhere.” Drivers are reminded to be heedful and approach RIDE stops carefully, especially in hazardous weather when visibility is a concern. Even though the Festive RIDE campaign’s focus is impairment, police are also targeting aggressive and distracted drivers and individuals violating seat belt laws. “We also look at vehicle safety and check for insurance and valid licences and licence plates,” Croth said. Between 11:30 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Nov. 27, Croth, Staff Sgt. Karuna Padiachi, Const. Julie Anne Fathi and Const. Kevin Sauve conducted a RIDE stop at the corner of Coleman Street and Park Avenue. A total of 60 vehicles were checked and officers found 100 per cent compliance; however, one driver was discovered to have an expired licence. So far this year, from Jan. 1 to the

need to ensure they have a plan in place (plan ahead). “Have a designated driver, plan to take a taxi or stay overnight,” Croth said. “The OPP goal is to get through the holiday season without losing a single life to impaired driving. We will use a combination of public education and focussed enforcement to drive home the message that impaired driving on Ontario roads is never acceptable,” OPP Commissioner Vince Hawkes said in an OPP release. The OPP is asking the public to join the Festive RIDE conversation on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ontarioprovincialpolice). The Festive RIDE campaign continues until Jan. 2.

Sadly, it’s a message that needs to be repeated year after year – Don’t drink and drive. Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Sgt. Rob Croth talks with a driver at a RIDE checkpoint in Carleton Place on Nov. 27.

present, Croth said Lanark County OPP has dealt with 111 impaired operation incidents over 80 mg. “Two involved vessels and the others involved motor vehicles,” he continued. “In two incidents the driver was impaired by drug.” Whereas public opinion may be the Festive RIDE campaign targets people driving under the influence of alcohol, driving while impaired by drugs – prescription or illegal – can be just as dangerous. “And it’s also against the law,” Croth said. OPP drug recognition experts will

be working over the holiday season to remove these drivers from the road. Croth said there are misconceptions when it comes to the body’s ability to process alcohol. “Any amount of alcohol can weaken a person’s ability to drive,” he said. People often ponder why a RIDE stop is performed first thing in the morning, but officers are finding individuals will indulge in a night of drinking, go home and go to bed, and then wake up and believe they are fine to get behind the wheel.

Christmas Basket Fund in dire need of community’s financial help tgesner@perfprint.ca

Community – Francis of Assisi once said: “For it is in giving that we receive.” Hoping this rings true is Wayne Drummond, longtime organizer of the Carleton Place Christmas Basket Fund/Angel Tree Program. Each year the Carleton Place Christmas Basket Fund/Angel Tree Program aims to help people in need enjoy the holidays, over-

looking, if only for a moment, their difficult situation. “This year we need help,” Drummond told The Canadian Gazette on Monday, Dec. 1. “We need more money.” “We have 144 more requests than we did last year at this time,” he added, “and we have 19 calls waiting to be returned on the answering machine.” Funds are needed to buy food for the baskets, which

typically contain items for breakfast on Christmas morning and all the trimmings for a holiday dinner. “Everyone gets the same,” Drummond said. Currently there are asks for 240 baskets, which translates into hundreds of people (children and adults). The Angel Tree component of the program offers gifts for residents up to 16 years of age. Presents received are from suggestions

given by mothers or fathers when they call the request line: 613-257-4277. “Angels are distributed to the area businesses that assist us,” Drummond said. The Carleton Place Christmas Basket Fund/ Angel Tree Program covers the K7C postal code area – from Franktown to along 8th Concession Ramsay to Ashton to Innisville. Drummond stressed the Christmas Basket Fund/ Angel Tree Program is dif-

ferent from the OPP’s Angel Tree program. “Those angels provide Christmas gifts for children associated with the Lanark County Children’s Aid Society,” he said. If your family can support the Christmas Basket Fund/Angel Tree Program financially, send your donation to: The Christmas Basket Program, 296 Gardiner Shore Rd., Carleton Place, Ontario K7C 1X9.

teenage years. He graduated from Perth and District Collegiate Institute. He served in the Canadian armed forces with the PPLI, based in Shilo, Manitoba, having signed up at the age of 20. He served for five years, carrying out one tour of duty in Afghanistan. He was discharged this past March, and went to go work in Alberta, working first in Calgary, then heading towards the province’s oil patch for the summer months. “He’s joined up on very strong convictions,” said Randy. “(But) it certainly carries a lot of worry as well.” Randy said he is in contact with his son, though not as often as when Dillon lived in Alberta. “I have no idea and I’m sure he doesn’t either how long he will be there,” said Randy. In talking with his son, Dillon has had to pick up some of the Kurdish language to speak to his fellow soldiers. “I am sure it is a significant culture shock,” said Randy. But, his son was “immensely impressed with the Kurds, their openness, tolerance, diversity,” and found the people to be “very friendly. He’s been very much welcomed.” Randy stressed that his son “paid his own way over, buying his own kit, body armor, and he is volunteering… there is a significant cost.” He also pointed out Dillon “is following very noble footsteps. We (Canadians) have a long history of volunteering,” such as Canadians volunteering to fight in Sudan in the 1870s, both sides of the U.S. Civil War in the 1860s, in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s, and even in one of the world’s lesser known conflicts, in a war between Finland and Russia in the 1920s. Randy reiterated that he is “very proud of Dillon and he is a man of strong convictions and we hope he comes home soon.” Kidnap concern Scott Taylor, the editor and publisher of the military magazine Esprit de Corps, was himself once held hostage in Iraq. Speaking to this paper from Ottawa on Nov. 28, he said that Hillier was putting himself in danger of being kidnapped himself. In a telephone interview, Taylor said the Peshmerga were a “very complicated ethnic mix,” and that “anyone with a

more will be issued. “There is always concern whether public and corporate donations will be enough to help us meet the need,” Drummond said. “We need about $25,000.” Christmas baskets and An-

gel Tree items are handed out a few days before the holiday. Drummond said a growing number of working families are requiring assistance. “It can happen to anyone,” he said.

This past Tuesday, according to a Canadian Press story published in the Toronto Star, both Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney have warned Canadians not to travel to Iraq or Syria. Blaney went so far as to say that Canadians wishing to fight terrorism should consider supporting domestic law enforcement.

Embrace holiday season with Carleton Place hospital Dec. 14 akulp@perfprint.ca

Community – The Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) is the place to be Sunday, Dec. 14 to celebrate the spirit of the season. Fresh from the Christmas in Carleton Place House Tour the weekend before, CPDMH is inviting the community to take part in a variety of different activities, beginning with the second annual Santa Run. Co-ordinated by Heritage Fitness and benefitting the CPDMH Foundation, the 5K run begins at 2 p.m. and according to CPDMH Foundation manager of fundraising, Robyn Arseneau, there are a few changes this year. “Things are a bit different this year. Last year the run began at Heritage Fitness but this year, we decided to take a route around town and people end up at the hospital to celebrate our tree lighting and Santa’s Pre-Flight Check-up,” she noted. The entry fee for the Santa Run is $20 per person but there are a few incentives for those who register by Dec. 5. “You get an amazing goodie bag with items from our partnering businesses on the day of the run and a chance to win a three-month membership at Heritage Fitness,” Arseneau explained. “Participants will also receive a special Santa Run family token.”

Arseneau encourages participants to accept pledges to raise more funds for the hospital foundation. “Get your neighbours, friends and family together. Every penny raised goes directly to our (foundation’s) patient care equipment fund,” she said. That includes a $1.5 million diagnostic imaging fund to purchase a diagnostic x-ray machine and other equipment. With close to 50 runners donning costumes and braving the cold at last year’s inaugural event, Arseneau hopes that the community will come out in full force once again. “It’s really fun and a great group of people,” she said. All ages are welcome to participate but those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. For more information on the Santa Run, visit www.heritagefitness.ca, email santaruncp@gmail.com or call 613-253-2112. Santa’s Pre-Flight Check-up After the run winds down, stick around the hospital to see Santa receive his pre-flight check-up from former chief of staff, Dr. Marty White at 4:30 p.m. The man in red also received a clean bill of health from CPDMH last year. “Out of all the hospitals in the world, Santa chose Carleton Place as his hospital of choice,” Arseneau explained. “Dr. Marty White really knows what he’s doing and he checks Santa very thoroughly

Families are invited to visit with Santa as he receives his check-up. Com-

plimentary hot chocolate and treats will be available and kids activities will also be set up and Mrs. Claus will make an appearance as well. Santa, along with his elves, are also expected to visit all of the patients in the hospital to wish them a Merry Christmas. Tree lighting After receiving a clean bill of health,

Santa will be the special guest magically lighting CPDMH’s Christmas tree outside the hospital at 5 p.m. Hot chocolate will also be served at the tree lighting. This is the 17th year for the CPDMH tree lighting and Arseneau said it is one of the hospital’s largest fundraising campaigns of the year. “People can donate a light on the tree in honour or in memory of a loved one or just because,” she said. Those interested can purchase a bulb on the tree, for a donation of their choice, right up until Dec. 31. Packages are available at the foundation office in the hospital, located at 211 Lake Ave. E., or visit www.carletonplacehospital.ca to donate. “One-hundred per cent of the proceeds to directly to the hospital. It’s a really great event,” Arseneau commented. All members of the public are welcome to come and see the tree being lit. Arseneau noted that the hospital takes great pride in offering the community different activities to mark the holiday season. “We want to offer things that are unique to Carleton Place and these events are growing in attraction,” she said. “It’s all about bringing Christmas to the hospital, especially for the patients. Some are here over the holidays and we like to heighten their Christmas,” Arseneau added.

News – At the policy review committee meeting on Nov. 25, Carleton Place council passed a motion to direct staff to draft a proposed bylaw that regulates the use of donation bins in town. As a result, director of protective services, Les Reynolds will craft the document, which will be brought forward to a future committee meeting for review and further discussion. The Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) raised the subject of donation bins with council in August, indicating it has been overwhelmed with unregulated boxes bins. As well, a lack of maintenance on the bins has resulted in household garbage being dumped beside them. Outgoing Coun. Gary Strike, council’s representative on the BIA board, said the organization has requested a ban on donation bins in the downtown core that are not directly linked to a downtown business. Furthermore, bins should be maintained on a daily basis, and no bins should be placed on a vacant property. “However, I think we should ad-

Unfortunately, only two responded: Canadian Diabetes Foundation (two boxes) and Lighthouse Mission (two boxes). Both are licensed charities. The others: Canadian Community Support Foundation (seven boxes), Eye Camp for Poor People (three boxes) and Carleton Place Athletic Association (one box). “The lady at the Canadian Diabetes Foundation was very helpful,” Reynolds said. “Pick up is done at least weekly and the proceeds benefit diabetes research.” The frequency of the missions’ pick up is weekly and money goes to aid the poor.

A Passion for Caring for Seniors “We are very happy to welcome Dr. Shamji,” notes Dr. Rob Courchene, Chief of Staff. “She brings special expertise and will be a wonderful addition to our care team.”

Dr. Salima Shamji did part of her residency at Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) more than 20 years ago, and now she’s back as CPDMH’s new geriatric specialist. She is coming full circle, to care for seniors in local communities once again. “This is such a warm and supportive community and I’m happy to be back,” she says. “I realize that it’s hard for seniors and their families to travel into Ottawa and it’s nice to have the same services right here in Carleton Place.”

Dr. Shamji obtained her medical degree at McMaster University and completed her residency in Family Medicine at the University of Ottawa. She also holds a fellowship in Care of the Elderly and teaches at the University of Ottawa. Most recently, Dr. Shamji was the Medical Director of the Geriatric Day Hospital at Bruyère Continuing Care.

Dr. Shamji says the every patient is different when you are caring for the elderly. “The combination of complex medical issues is always interesting. And the ultimate goal of affecting someone’s quality of life is very rewarding. I love to hear their stories.”

Dr. Shamji will spend one day a week in Carleton Place, providing inpatient and outpatient geriatric consultation for family physicians.

The ultimate goal of affecting someone’s quality of life is very rewarding. I love to hear their stories.

CP council, meetings to be videotaped tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – The following are issues discussed by Carleton Place council members at the regular and policy review committee meetings on Nov. 25, as well as the community issues and corporate services committee meetings on Nov. 18. A resident volunteer, owing to a new web-based news resource organized by local Brian Turner, will videotape council and committee meetings in Carleton Place. With no other information provided and no discussion from council, a staff recommendation was carried to advise Turner the town has no objection to the video recording provided it does not interfere with the gallery and the proceedings of council and committee. Although the vote had already taken place, resident Peter Adamovits had concerns. “I think there is an opportunity, if somebody is videotaping this (meetings), for (him or her) to edit the proceedings and perhaps influence the public perception,” he said. “It might be worthwhile having it as raw video as opposed to any post processing.” Furthermore, Adamovits suggested the town take ownership of the resulting video, even though volunteers and a separate organization do it. “It’s a public record of the town’s activities,” he said. Coun. Rob Probert thanked Adamovits for his observations; however, said: “We passed it. The next council can deal with it.” Council meetings in Smiths Falls and North Grenville are videotaped and broadcast by Cogeco. Tax arrears Carleton Place is an average community when it comes to tax arrears. Treasurer Phil Hogan said Carleton Place ranks 35 out of 85 municipalities in Ontario. “We’re not the best, but we’re not the worst,” he added. There are 66 accounts with balances owing greater than $5,000. Hogan said the total owed by these accounts, which represents 1.3 per cent of the total accounts (4,846), is about 80 per cent of the arrears. “I would estimate the arrears to be in the $1.3 to $1.4 million range at Dec. 31,” he continued. The town sends regular notices to those in arrears. “We also tax register properties in the third year of arrears, if an adequate payment plan is not in place,” Hogan said.

The one process the municipality has avoided involves the seizing of assets (furnishings, etc.), which it is allowed to do under the Municipal Act. “I call it the hammer approach,” Hogan said.

“Ready, Set, Snow” kicks off on Dec. 2 and runs until March 31; however, the official opening takes place during the museum’s Christmas open house – Dec. 14 from 1 to 4 p.m. LeBlanc said there would be historic skis, snowshoes and winTree trimming ter fashions on display.

OPINION

COLUMN

Holiday music magic Opinion – Christmas conjures up different images for many. Perhaps your favourite memory is trimming the tree with the entire family or making gingerbread cookies as a child with your mother. For me, it’s gathering with family on Christmas Eve for food, board games and fun, with my favourite Christmas album, Once Upon a Christmas by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton, crackling in the background. This record holds a special spot in our family. I can remember being just a kid and my mom would put the record on. Over the years, she’s upgraded to the CD version, but nothing compares to that record. It reminds me of my grandmother, the person I most aspire to be, and makes me feel like she’s still with us. My mother has given each of us three children copies of the album and I’ve begun to purchase it for friends who have never heard of it. Perhaps it’s an acquired taste for some, but it’s something that just screams Christmas to me. I’m someone who believes that the magic of the holidays never disappears, whether we are eight or 81. On the topic of Christmas music, a number of years ago, my love of it prompted me to start a tradition of an annual Christmas mix for the family. It contains a little something for everyone, whether it’s jazz, country or indie music. I design the cover and liner notes with little inside jokes between family members, coupled with my so-bad-theyare-good (but they really are bad) Photoshop skills. It’s something I enjoy immensely. I’ve always loved giving gifts to people and watching their reactions and this is no different. As Christmas nears, family members often ask when the album is going to “drop.” Usually I try to have it ready for late November, but due to the fact that I moved to a new house last October, I skipped last year. To make up for it, I created a double album this year. Many people wonder how I

ASHLEY KULP The Usual Kulprit haven’t run out of Christmas songs to choose from yet, but are you kidding me? There are so many good ones out there and castoffs from the previous year’s CD usually make up a new list for the following year. I’m a sucker for the classics, so there is usually a ditty by Bing Crosby or Frank Sinatra on there. Louis Armstrong is always a favourite and of course, Kenny & Dolly. While people’s thoughts are on summer barbecues and pool parties, I’m usually starting to think about the family Christmas mix. I’m constantly making lists of Christmas songs I’ve heard or searching out the more obscure versions of Christmas classics. That’s my favourite part of the process. You never know what gold you’ll find. I always delight when I come across a new rendition of something old by a favourite musician or I come across a crop of Billie Holiday or Ella Fitzgerald tunes that I hadn’t discovered before. One of my favourite bands, The Killers, who I had the opportunity to see live for the first time this summer at Bluesfest in Ottawa, release a Christmas single each year with proceeds going to charity. This marks their ninth year of doing it and I always look forward to seeing what they’ll dream up. They can border on the obscure or depressing themes, but in my opinion, they never disappoint. Their Christmas songs have always been a staple on the family Christmas mix as well. Not everything on the mix is well received by everyone, but that’s the beauty of it. There is at least one song on there that each person can identify with. I’m not personally a big fan of country music, but some family members are, so I make sure to include that genre. So far, it’s worked pretty well. Whatever your holiday tradition, I hope you and your family enjoy making memories this Christmas season.

Mississippi Mills council thank outgoing members for their hard work Tiffany Lepack

tlepack@perfprint.ca

News – Three members of the current Mississippi Mills council will not be returning for another term of office. That made Nov. 25 their last official meeting as members of council. At the end of the meeting, outgoing mayor John Levi thanked the councillors for all of their hard work over the last four years. “We have had a productive four years,” said Levi. “I wish the new council all the best and I am looking forward to retiring to private life and enjoying our great municipality.” Coun. Alex Gillis asked for a motion to officially recognize Levi’s outstanding service. “Thank you mayor Levi for your dedicated service to our town,” said Gillis. “I wish him all the best.” “All in favour?” Levi added with a laugh as it passed. Coun. John Edwards asked to recognize Coun. Garry Dalgity, who has served on Almonte and Mississippi Mills councils for 29 years. “He has always been a pleasure to work with,” said Edwards. “He always tried to do the fair thing around the council table to ensure openness and transparency.” Coun. Val Wilkinson spoke on outgoing Coun. Rickey Minnille, who

was not in attendance for the meeting. She thanked him for his 10 years of service on council. “Coun. Minnille caused a lot of frustration and amusement. He was frank and to the point,” said Wilkinson. “He was never short of surprises and had a sense of humour. I really enjoyed working with Rickey.” She also noted that he represented the blue collar workers. “He made that a passion to represent them,” Wilkinson said. The new Mississippi Mills council was officially sworn in on Tuesday, Dec. 2. The following briefs were issues that were discussed at the Mississippi Mills council meeting on Nov. 25. Meeting with ministry Council decided that four people would attend a meeting with Bill Mauro, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, regarding the Appleton wetlands on Monday, Dec. 1 in Toronto. Mayor-elect Shaun McLaughlin called the issues at the Appleton wetlands near and dear to his heart and assumed he would be going as the mayor-elect. “I have done a lot of research on this topic and I think I should be going,” said McLaughlin. He suggested that the two council

representatives with the Mississippi Valley Conservation Association should attend. Coun. Duncan Abbott suggested the same four attend that did before with Edwards. “I am interested but my schedule does not permit it,” said Edwards. Levi asked what was to be on the agenda. McLaughlin told council that the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists recent study on the wetlands would be discussed. “I may bring up one or two other issues related to the wetlands such as Enerdu,” said McLaughlin. “Maybe we are loading it one way,” added Coun. Denzil Ferguson. “Maybe someone else should go.” Coun. Alex Gillis then expressed interest in attending and it was also decided that the town’s chief administrative officer Diane Smithson should be there as well. “If they are going to discuss Enerdu, I would like to know what will be presented to discuss,” asked Levi. “Enerdu is an entirely separate issue,” added Wilkinson. McLaughlin explained that the ministry is also in charge of Crown lands and would like to discuss the waterfall that may be affected in the Enerdu development as that may be on Crown lands. Council then approved councillors Abbott, Gillis and McLaughlin to at-

tend the meeting with Smithson. The previous minister was set to meet with a council delegation earlier this year, however due to a flight delay/weather that didn’t take place so the issue was discussed with a staff member. At that time, they were promised another meeting after the wetlands study was completed. Encroachment Two encroachment bylaws were passed at council on Nov. 25. The first is for an encroachment agreement with Nathan and Krista Mitten to allow a new verandah on the residence located at 130 Brougham St. to extend into a road allowance. The second is to authorize an agreement with Garth Teskey and Marjorie Gaw to allow the encroachment of the front steps and surrounding patio of 36 Main St. W., into the Coleman Street road allowance. New Ramsay bridge The Ramsay Concession 6D was approved by council for rehabilitation at an estimated cost of $600,000 using a single lane, fiberglass composite bridge system with a 75-year life span. At the Nov. 12 Committee of the Whole meeting, Coun. Bernard Cameron asked about the new fiberglass technology.

“We have researched it, our design firm has researched it,” said Cory Smith, roads and public works technologist with Mississippi Mills. “There is a bridge in Ottawa that used it. I went out to it, jumped on it, walked on it. It is proven under the highway design act and approved in Ontario.” The 2014 budget included an allowance of $60,000 for the completion of the detailed design for the renewal of the bridge and the project currently remains on budget. The approval of the preferred design alternative does not bind council to proceed with the project, however. Future costs, including bridge works and engineering, are currently estimated to be $600,000. These costs will be re-confirmed after detailed design works are completed and construction ready plans are available. Updated figures will otherwise be brought forward to the 2015 budget deliberations as they are received. Appointments Council approved the following people to sit on the Enerdu design advisory committee: Coun. Alex Gillis, Coun. John Edwards, community at large member Stephen Brathwaite, heritage committee member Fred Dennis and town planner Stephen Stirling.

Community – Residents are invited to kick off Christmas in downtown Carleton Place this Saturday, Dec. 6, with many great events taking place. “There will be something for all ages,” said Cathie McOrmond, Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) project manager. “We have the traditional breakfast with Santa Claus, horse drawn trolley rides, BIA Buck draws, Christmas tree sales at the Canoe Club and Civitan toy making workshop,” she added. “Also, a number of BIA businesses are having special sales and holding special activities.” Shoppers at a number of downtown businesses (stores and restaurants) will have a chance to win one of five $200 BIA Buck prizes. “You make a purchase and you receive a ballot,” McOrmond said. “I am pretty excited.” Participating businesses: Olivia and Oliver, Technique Hair Salon, Platinum Black Nail Lounge, Mr Mozzarella, The Good Food Company, Nancy’s Impressions, Wisteria, Dack’s Jewellers, The Granary, Graham’s Shoes, The Dress Shop, IDA Drugmart, The Green Counter Boutique, The Bridge Café and Bistro, and The Blossom Shop.

Tenth anniversary of CP Santa Claus night parade enjoyed by all Tara Gesner

tgesner@perfprint.ca

Community – Carleton Place was filled with excitement and anticipation as the 10th annual evening Santa Claus Parade rolled into town on Saturday, Nov. 29. The parade, hosted by the local Business Improvement Association (BIA), was a success as hordes of residents braved the chilly night to catch a glimpse of marching bands, dazzling floats, loveable mascots, talented dancers and jolly St. Nick himself. “Overall, the BIA is pleased with the parade,” Cathie McOrmond said. McOrmond is the organization’s project manager. “There were 125 floats participating,” she said, “and the dancers and walkers were amazing.” Each year the Santa Claus Parade supports the Lanark County Food Bank (LCFB) and local Christmas Basket Fund (CBF). McOrmond said money totals collected along the parade route by the Carleton Place & Dis-

trict Civitan Club were not yet known; however, 1,400 pounds of food was gathered. The BIA is pleased to be the organization to present the parade to the community. “There is a tremendous amount of planning and it takes many, many volunteers to ensure the parade goes off without a hitch,” McOrmond said. The 2014 theme was Celebrate the Sparkle. Winners McOrmond said the Best Overall winner was the Carleton Place Childcare Services entry. As a result, they will soon be presented with the category’s custom-made trophy, consisting of a rich burgundy ceramic base (three tiers) and topped with a silver cup and Santa Claus. They keep it until next year’s event. Also offering enticement for parade participants were plaques, which were awarded to the ﬁrst, second and third place entries in a handful of categories. The winners were as follows: Best Walking Entry – Rose-

mary Breman School of Dancing (ﬁrst), The Studio School of Dance (second) and Carleton Place & District Girl Guides (third). Best use of Theme – Carleton Place Skating Club (ﬁrst), Carleton Place Water Dragons (second) and #IveGotYourBack Paramedics (third). Best Commercial Entry – NAPA Auto Parts Universal Supply Group Carleton Place. Best Small Independent Business – Valley Veterinary Clinic. Best Community Group – Carleton Place Scouting. In addition to all of its volunteers, the BIA thanks the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), OPP Auxiliary, Community Emergency Response Volunteers (CERV), Carleton Place & District Civitan Club, Carleton Place Lions Club, recreation and culture department, parade participants and students from the Police Foundations program at Algonquin College. “When we work together great things happen,” McOrmond said.

Fees and charges set to go up slightly in Mississippi Mills tlepack@perfprint.ca

News – The following briefs were issues discussed at the Mississippi Mills Committee of the Whole meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 25. The committee passed a motion to approve the proposed changes to the 2015 fee schedule. It is set to be formally approved at the Dec. 9 council meeting. The new schedule was first presented to Committee of the Whole at the Nov. 12 meeting and members asked for further explanation of the fees by staff. Karen Kane, director of daycare at the town, provided a report which stated the centre has an annual fee increase particularly in the programs that operate with a lass (infant and toddler). The infant rate is set to go up from $53 to $55 per day and the toddler rate from $47 to $48. Recreation director Calvin Murphy also submitted a comparison of recreation rates with the towns of Carleton Place and Arnprior. He noted that both municipalities are anticipating a three per cent increase and Mississippi Mills

will be in the “middle of the pack” compared to them. For example, a prime time minor resident rate in Mississippi Mills will be $166 per hour in Mississippi Mills compared to $111 in Carleton Place and $130 in Arnprior. The town is also set to establish a number of fees such as room rental at the municipal building for $25 per hour during office hours and $25 hours outside of office hours plus $25 per hour for staffing as required. Rural severances The committee tried to pass a motion to open up some rural lots to be severed for future development. However, after a number of motions being defeated, which would have opened up anywhere from 700 to 1,800 lots, the committee decided to defer the recommendation to leave the current policies as they are. This motion was deferred to the second Committee of the Whole meeting in January 2015. Pakenham RBC The new Pakenham Royal Bank of

Canada (RBC) has been hampered by delays, noted a new report received by the Mississippi Mills Committee of the Whole. The committee received a report detailing key milestones in the development approval process of the RBC in Pakenham, which started in April of this year. After a number of delays and issues, the building permit was only released on Nov. 3 and the bank is now scheduled to open in the new year. The report states “while there has been much speculation to date as per the reasons behind the delays in the issuance of the building permit of the RBC development in Pakenham, the table details that town staff in the building/planning/public works departments provided a level of service to the consultant and proponent that exceeds

industry standard…” “This is not acceptable to us or the planner,” said Coun. Denzil Ferguson. “It appears they dropped the ball on many occasions…this was not our fault.” Coun. John Edwards thanked staff for doing such a good job. It’s really nice to find out it was not planning’s (department) fault,” said Wilkinson.

IN MEMORIAM DUFFY - In memory of a very special wife, Hazel Duffy, who passed away November 29, 1997. If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again. It is lonely here without you, I miss you more each day, For life is not the same for me, Since you were called away. It broke my heart to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of me went with you, The day God called you Home. I seem to see in the soft dim light, A face I loved the best, And think of her when the suns last rays, Goes down in the far off west. Lovingly remembered Murray

their voices are perfect for a duet. Another regular, Molly Cooney, is well cast as Cinderella. She too has a sweet voice which was perhaps most evident on the solo ‘I Have a Dream.’ The Beatles’ songbook is at the forefront in this inventive musical. I really enjoyed ‘Good Day Sunshine’ and their 1960s classic ‘She Was Just 17’. The 15member chorus does yeoman service. I told you this show is quirky. Underlining the fact is the performance of “The Bailiffs” who are bent on re-possessing all of Cinderella’s furniture. Jenny Pfitzer, Kathleen Everett and Mary Alexander put in energetic and entertaining performances in the roles of Rag, Tag and Bobtail. They end up as flunkeys in the palace. Meanwhile Buttons, Cinderella’s family servant, secretly loves the young lady. But he is too shy to tell her. I thought the performance of Kyle Booth as Buttons was perhaps the most enjoyable of all. He was outstanding. This show wouldn’t be complete without a Prince and Clifford Glas does well in one of the most demanding roles. Of course there are the ugly stepsisters, named Tutti and Frutti, who are well played by male actors Brian McManus (he’s always a joy to see in action) and Peter Meyer. Anther performance of particular note is that of veteran actress Trish Smith as the Fairy Godmother. Smith has a strong voice and I enjoyed her lead effort on ‘Magic’ the closing number of Act 1. Kudos to Mudds’ mainstay Jim MacGregor who plays the frustrated King (no one lets him sing) and Karen Lapointe as Cinderella’s father, the appropriately named Baron Hard-Up. This very different show even has a family of Hillbillies. The work of Dobbin the Horse (Kate Cooney and producer Balazsi) adds a nice touch. Credit as well to Tony Stuart the musical director. This presentation is very much about the music. The band led by Peter Brown and including Tom Kemp, Cory Ell, Eric Hardie and Frank Martens is excellent. One of our companions said she could “easily sit and listen to them (the band) all night.” Now there’s a compliment. An integral part of every Mudds’ production is costumes and Cinderella certainly doesn’t disappoint. Judith Scott and her eight member costume team can take a huge bow. There were audible gasps from the large audience when Cinderella unveiled her gown for the ball. It is breathtaking. Tony Scott and the set builders have done well and the props are good. Cinderella continues this weekend with performances Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and a Saturday matinee at 2 p.m. The matinee is all but sold out although at press time a handful of tickets remained at $15 each. Tickets are $20 apiece and can be purchased at Read’s Book Shop. Call 613-257-7323 for information. Submitted by Jeff Maguire on behalf of the Mississippi Mudds.

The Canadians had two wins against the Kanata Lasers this week. In a previous week’s game against the Ottawa Jr. Senators, Canadians’ Ryan Daniel, right, looks for the open pass to line mate Nicolas Mucci as the Canadians try to parlay a goal in the first period.

nata Recreation Complex, the Canadians opened their first of two games with the Lasers. Jordan Larson got the Canadians on the scoreboard first at 3:48 of the first period, on a goal assisted by Andy Sturtz and Stephen Baylis. At 7:44, Andrew Dodson put the team up 2-0, with an effort assisted by Wesley Baker and Adam Lloyd. Carleton Place added their third goal in the third period, when Lloyd found the net, assisted by Wesley Baker and Owen Grant, at 0:45. Heading into the third period with a 3-0 lead, the Canadians managed to keep the Lasers off of the scoreboard entirely. Baylis had a power play goal, assisted by Willie Brooks and Craig Pefley at 5:31, and added his second of the Canadians 6, Kanata 0 game, a short handed efThe previous evening at the Ka- fort, from Sturtz and Devin

Campbell, at 7:19. Sturtz had the team’s sixth goal of the night, another short handed one, from Baylis and Klein at 10:29, giving the team a 6-0 win. While Kanata may have been kept out of the net, but they didn’t stay silent on the ice in the third, racking up six infractions, while Carleton Place also had six, including a game misconduct for fighting for Pefley. Carleton Place outshot Kanata 39-17 and rookie Adrian Clark got the win between the pipes. Upcoming games Carleton Place welcomes the Cornwall Colts to town Friday, Dec. 5 with the puck drop at 7:45 p.m. Then on Sunday, Dec. 7, they take on the Hawkesbury Hawks in an afternoon game at the Carleton Place Arena.

Sports – The Carleton Place Canadians dimmed the light of the Kanata Lasers last week, not once but twice. The Canadians earned wins during back-to-back matches against the Lasers, including a 5-2 effort at the Carleton Place Arena Friday evening (Nov. 28) and a 6-0 decision the evening before, Nov. 27, to keep them in top spot in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) with 61 points (30 wins, five losses), also good for top spot in the Robinson division. As a crowd of 350 looked on Friday, the game started off slow with no scoring by either team in the first. Carleton Place did rack up three minor penalties to AJ Klein (interference), Andrew Dodson (tripping and high sticking). The Canadians came out flying in the second, netting the first goal of the game 25 seconds in from Andy Sturtz, assisted by captain Stephen Baylis and Trent Shore. Craig Pefley added a power play effort at 5:58, assisted by Sturtz and Jordan Larson to give the Canadians a 2-0 lead. Wesley Baker added two goals at 6:49 and 10:41 of the period, assisted by Dodson and Adam Lloyd. Kanata had two goals at 14:05 and 16:40 of the period, to end the second with the Canadians up 4-2. There was little action in the third, but the Canadians did add their fifth goal from Lloyd, assisted by Alex Robinson and Dodson, at 6:26. With no further scoring in the game, the Canadians won, 5-2. Guillaume Therien had the win and faced 21 shots from the Lasers. The Canadians peppered Kanata goalie Brian Wilson with 29 shots in the game. Dodson earned first star honours for his three assists. Other highlights in the game came from Lloyd’s goal and two assists and Baker’s two goals.

Tough weekend for Thunder as they suffer two losses akulp@perfprint.ca

Sports – It’s been a tough couple of weeks for the Almonte Thunder and this past weekend didn’t help any. The Jr. B hockey club lost both of their games over the weekend and head coach/general manager Bill White admitted the team is in the middle of a difficult slump. “We’re going through a tough time right now. It’s due to a combination of injuries, bad play and bad breaks, you name it,” he said. “It’s just one of those things. We’re going to try to get ourselves prepared to go again, re-group and go ahead.” Currently, the team is without Matt Crozier and assistant captain Justin Marquis, who are out with shoulder injuries, and Matt Gabriel has a bad ankle. White said goaltender Matt Dods is also out of hospital, recovering from carbon monoxide poisoning. “So we didn’t have him on Sunday afternoon,” he noted. The Thunder presently sit in fourth place in the Metro division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL), with 31 points (six wins and 14 losses). The Thunder’s latest loss was on Sunday in Clarence Creek against the Clarence Beavers, who took the game 5-2. The Beavers came out strong, scoring the only three goals of the first period, heading into the second up 3-0. Brandon Mendham got the Thunder on the board with a power play effort from Blair Barr at 9:01 of the second. The Thunder’s Garrett Nichol followed that up with another power play goal, assisted by Jacob Cuffley and Mendham, at 12:29 to come within a goal of catching the Beavers, 3-2, at the end of

the second. During the second period, the Thunder racked up nine infractions, including a 10-minute misconduct to Riley Shore and game misconducts to Quinn Gordon and Nichol. White said there is no bad blood between the two teams, who only play each other once a year and that “some games are just like that.” “Clarence Creek has a small ice surface and there’s lots of contact and lots of stuff going on by the nets,” he stated. The Beavers were able to stop the Thunder from getting any further goals in the third and added two more of their own, to win the game 5-2. Clarence outshot Almonte 39-33 in the game. Jesse Schoeman had the loss in goal for the Thunder. Almonte 4, Shawville 11 Earlier on Friday evening, Nov. 28, the Thunder travelled to Shawville to take on the Pontiacs. Brandon Mendham drew ﬁrst blood for the Thunder at 0:39, assisted by Quinn Gordon. Garrett Nichol kept momentum going with a second goal at 8:52, assisted by Ben Wade and Nick Villeneuve. Almonte’s two goal lead didn’t last long, however, as the Pontiacs added four goals at 9:12, 9:24, 10:04 and 14:39 to go up 4-2. The Thunder’s Jacob Cufﬂey added another one

for the Thunder at 16:32, assisted by Andrew Davis and Justin Marquis, to come within one. A late power play goal in the ﬁrst, gave Shawville a 5-3 lead heading into the second. The next 20 minutes didn’t do any favours for the Thunder as the Pontiacs netted another two goals at 8:52 and 17:52. With a 7-3 lead at the start of the third, Shawville added another two before Davis had the Thunder’s lone goal of the period, a penalty shot at 10:22. “He (Davis) was dragged down on a breakaway,” White said of the reason for the penalty shot. “He made a good shot and scored.” Shawville would go on to score another two goals, at 16:35 and 18:46 of the third, to win the game by a score of 11-4. Despite the high score, White said his team played well. “We probably played well enough to win but we’re snake bitten right now,” he said. “I thought our effort was good. We worked hard and competed hard. “It was a bad night,” he admitted. “We did try to get back into the game, but we had some bad bounces. That’s what happens when you’re struggling.” Prospects games The EOJHL is holding two Prospects games on Dec. 13 at the Nick Smith Arena in Arnprior: Valley

vs. St. Lawrence at 1 p.m. and Metro vs. Rideau at 4 p.m. The Thunder will be well represented at the game with ﬁve players on the Valley team and the entire coaching staff will also be there. Thunder players on the Valley team are: Goaltender Matt Dods (4-7 record, 3.55 goals against average and a save percentage of 0.895), defenceman Jacob Cufﬂey (four goals and nine assists), left winger Quinn Gordon (four goals and nine assists), left winger Mike Hauschild (two assists and 21 penalty minutes) and Jacob Ramalho will be there as an alternate. “All of the general managers vote for the players and I feel very fortunate we got so many on the team,” said White. White and his assistant coaches, Don Leverette, Barry Melanson and Martin Puckett, will be behind the bench with the team’s trainers, Amy White and Mark Dods. “I’m looking forward to it,” said White. “There are a lot of skilled players and it should be fun.” Upcoming games The Thunder will re-group for their only game this week, an away match against the Stittsville Rams this Sunday, Dec. 7 at 2:30 p.m.

Dear Dr Murphy, I have been struggling with a serious shoulder pain that refers down my arm. It affects my sleep and I can hardly move my arm, can you help? The shoulder pain you are experiencing sounds like a common ailment that many people have experienced. Shoulder pain can occur in many scenarios. Heart trouble, liver problems and gall bladder issues can all refer pain to your shoulders. These issues can be quite serious and we would want to assess your health to rule out these issues. If your shoulder pain is primarily around the shoulder blade with pain travelling down your arm, the next step is to perform an exam of your neck. The nerves in your neck can get irritated because of spinal misalignment and this irritation can result in pain around your shoulder blade and down your arms. The interesting point here is that you may NOT have pain in your

neck when this is happening. You may only experience the pain in your shoulder and arm in this scenario. I would recommend that you book a consultation and exam with a chiropractor who is trained to assess the health of your spine and determine if you have nerve irritation in your neck. This is a very important step because a chiropractor is specifically trained to assess your spine and to get to the ROOT CAUSE of your problem. I hope this helps you get on the right path to understanding and correcting this problem. If I can be of assistance further, please don’t hesitate to contact our clinic number below. Blessings, Dr Murphy

Trio bring violence against women agenda into the light desmond.devoy@metroland.com

News – Bill Cosby, Ray Rice and Jian Ghomeshi. Not poster boys urging an end to violence against women – and yet, unintentionally, they have done a great deal to change how we think about domestic violence, in just a few short weeks. While Ghomeshi appeared in a Toronto courtroom last week, charged with four counts of sexual assault, and one choking charge, Cosby’s saga is still unraveling, and he has yet to be charged with any crime. As for Rice, an arbitrator has ruled that he can resume his on-ﬁeld duties with the Minnesota Vikings after he was indeﬁnitely suspended by the National Football League (NFL) when video appeared of him striking his wife, knocking her unconscious, in an elevator in Las Vegas earlier this year. For people who deal with domestic violence on a daily basis, it may seem like an example of two steps forward, one step back. “It was nice to see the NFL take a strong stance, and see commentators make a strong stance (between plays),” said Hillary Wilson, a residential manager with Leeds-Grenville Interval House in Brockville, during a telephone interview on Monday, Dec. 1. However, not being privy to the Rice negotiations, “it’s hard to know what went on behind the scenes,” but she conceded that, after the NFL’s decisive actions, followed the prospect of his dismissal being overturned, “on the face of it, it sends a mixed message.” As the Ghomeshi scandal enters its legal phase, Wilson sees positives, and drawbacks, as the story continues. “I think it’s good to see the police taking the issue seriously,” she said, with Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair urging women to come forward, and one of the CBC Radio star’s accusers, Trailer Park Boys actress Lucy DeCou-

tere, saying how professional and accommodating his officers were in hearing her statement. “Police are getting more and more special training,” said Wilson. “It has made a difference.” When it comes to their interactions with both the Brockville Police Service and the OPP, “as a shelter here… the police have been very cooperative with us. We find the police are quite helpful.” One way in which she has seen policing change is that, when possible, a male and a female officer will be sent to a domestic violence call, and that the onus is no longer placed on the woman, with the question, “Would you like to press charges?” not being asked as much today. However, Ghomeshi will likely plead not guilty to all charges against him. “It’s not unusual that he would plead not guilty,” she said. Speaking generally, not about Ghomeshi’s case and its merits, she added that, by pleading not guilty, “it puts the victim in the place of having to tell her story,” all over again. And then, up on the witness stand, “you will have to go through all of those questions. It’s one of the things that the perpetrator counts on.” At her work, however, “we always believe the woman when she comes forward. That’s the role we take.” With all three scandals, as well as the ongoing sexual harassment scandal engulfing Parliament Hill, provid-

ing a lot of fodder for talk radio, comment sections and water coolers, Wilson reports that they have not led to an increase in calls to her facility, but, “it’s started a conversation about it.” Interestingly, “I discuss it more in my personal life,” than at work, where 10 beds in six bedrooms accommodate women and their children escaping abusive situations. “My hope would be that… it would make them (abused women) pick up the phone,” she said. Federal Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau has come under ﬁre for kicking MPs Scott Andrews (Avalon) and Massimo Pacetti (SaintLeonard-Saint-Michel) out of his caucus as allegations of sexual harassment and non-consenting sex are investigated. “It’s always good to step back,” said Wilson, on matters such as these, which can easily become “he-said-shesaid” matters, since they take place behind closed doors. “I applaud him (Trudeau) taking a strong stand and trying to get to the bottom of it.” What makes the Cosby and Ghomeshi scandals all the more “shocking” is that they stand in such stark contrast with the public personas that both men presented. Ghomeshi was, in Wilson’s words, “very progressive, and affable,” having minored in women’s studies at York University, protested for abortion rights, and cultivating an image as a modern, sensitive artist. Cosby, mean-

while, earned the name “America’s Dad,” during his sweater-clad Cosby Show days in the 1980s. Because they stand out as such pillars of society, “people were reluctant to speak out about it,” and the alleged offences they carried out. She has seen for herself where a woman she has helped will have left an abusive partner who, outside of the family home, comes across as “charming and funny and a great neighbour and a good employee,” making the allegations against them even harder to believe. “When people have honed their persona… we are very quick to give the benefit of the doubt.” She pointed to Ghomeshi’s Facebook essay, posted on the day he was fired – hours before the Toronto Star’s first story of allegations broke that Sunday evening on Oct. 26 – where “he certainly tried to paint himself in the best possible light,” that he was being fired for his less-than-mainstream tastes in the bedroom.

The Interval House women’s shelters in Leeds and Grenville and Lanark County will both be holding events to mark the day this Saturday.

lawyer and activist Pamela Cross, along with a rose ceremony to commemorate the lost women. Email info@ victiminfo.com for more details.

Dec. 6 commemorations The timing of the scandals, though coincidental, comes right in the middle of an interesting period on the calendar for women’s shelters. Nov. 25 marks the United Nations’ International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and Dec. 6, this year, marks the 25th anniversary of the Montreal Massacre, when 14 women were killed

Large audience appreciates Maude Barlow’s message at recent talk Community – More than 100 people squeezed into the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 12, to enjoy a captivating evening with a veritable Canadian icon. Maude Barlow, national chairperson for the Council of Canadians, delivered an inspiring talk, packed with information, sprinkled with humour, and laced with both concern and hope. Her message was backed up by a wealth of experience, ranging from high level international committees to demonstrations in the trenches. She has been being tear-gassed on five continents…and is proud of it! The key message she relayed during her talk was that if a community does not want a hydro plant or a pipeline or a toxic waste dump, they have the power to stop it. There was an audible reaction from the audience when she said these words, and so she repeated them. Provincial and federal governments like to think they run the show, but local governments and regular citizens have more power than they realize. Bad projects can be stopped by local resolve and will power. In recent years Barlow’s efforts have been focussed on clean water both in Canada and throughout the world. She recounted the drama of one of her best “wins” that occurred back on July 28, 2010, when

the United Nations voted 122 to 0 (with the rest, including Canada, abstaining) to pass a resolution making clean water and sanitation a right for all humans. In the years immediately prior to this historic vote, Barlow had served as the special advisor on water to the 63rd President of the UN, Miguel d’Escoto Brockman. On the day of the vote, the culmination of decades of groundwork and months of lobbying, she stood flanked by her staff in the observation balcony. Thankful they had gotten so far, hardly daring to believe they could succeed, they were jubilant when the positive result flashed up on the screen in the General Assembly. The Harper government was one of those “leading the charge” against the resolution. This success was a necessary first step in the battle against a growing trend toward priva-

tization of water, the control of water by corporations whose concern may not be for human rights. Barlow relayed an incredible amount of knowledge and detail on a variety of topics: fracking (why bitumen pipelines are so dangerous), free trade (the legal perils of CEDA and TPP), water rights and shortages (Sao Paolo, and closer to home, Detroit). She noted that most of us remember from our school days the hydrologic cycle diagram, and so we have a mistaken impression that water is in endless supply and will always be where we want it. But the global economy means that we move water around within the products we buy and ship, be it lumber or plastic toys or running shoes. And our wetlands and rivers, which perform a sort of ecological kidney function of re-purifying our water, are being

destroyed or altered. All these factors imperil the natural balance. “When you have a water system like this Mississippi here, when you have these falls, when you have water your kids can swim in, you just hold it so tight, because it’s so important, and it’s so rare,” she said. (We or our descendants may be drinking the river someday, when the town aquifers run dry.) It came as a surprise when she told the audience Canada now has the worst wetland and deforestation record in the world – even worse than Brazil. Damage can be undone if we hold our governments accountable and pursue these issues at every election. The challenges we face are significant but not insurmountable. In addition to some of the progress made at the international level on water rights, Barlow also recounted some notable environmental victories. Alberta resident Jessica Ernst recently won a court case against the Alberta government, which had tried to block her lawsuit of a fracking company, EnCana, which had invited themselves onto her property and destroyed her water table. The citizens of Simcoe County, Ontario, were able to prevent, despite MOE approval, a toxic waste dump (Site 41) from being located on their farmland near Georgian Bay, the site of some of the

cleanest water on the planet. During her visit to Almonte, Barlow also enjoyed a tour of the Riverwalk and took the time to appreciate the beauty of this community and its thriving tourism economy, and understand the issues facing it. Several times during her talk she referred back to the local situation. In addition, members of the Mississippi RiverWatchers spoke briefly. Mike O’Malley began the evening with a heartfelt presentation on the river and wetlands, summarizing what they mean to this community. Brian Young and Bryn Matthews extolled the virtues of volunteer work, activism and community involvement in municipal government and all the other many activities and projects on tap. Together we have made what Barlow calls an “intentional community.” We must continuously strive to grow it the way we want it grown, and not blindly accept the wishes of outsiders in provincial government or corporations with other interests. We are the stewards of our land and rivers. Those who attended were receptive and appreciative. Canadians can all be proud of Maude Barlow’s tireless advocacy for social justice and planetary health. Her message was clear and her support was energizing. Submitted by Rick Scholes.

Half of the items donated to this year’s drive were hand knit. “There’s been a lot of busy beavers,” she joked. What is not a joke, but instead rather heartwarming, is the sheer generosity of the community in its giving to the initiative. “The kindness of the community really shines through with campaigns such as this,” she said. Often times when coming into work in the morning a bag of donations would be found on the doorknob. No note included, just a message of kindness extend-

ed. A lot of the centre’s patients have donated, as well as folks who found out about the campaign and just wanted to give back. And that is exactly how the drive came to be 11 years ago – while at the centre, someone was speaking with Dr. Sean Murphy about the need in the community and just how many people were recipients

of baskets at Christmas time. Dr. Murphy felt if that many people were lacking in food there must be other areas of need as well. Thinking about what could be done, and a way the centre could contribute, he thought about all of the other existing fundraising campaigns the basket fund, there was already a snowsuit drive and came up with

Calvary Christian Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auction raises funds for bursaries ljweir@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The annual Christmas auction hosted by the Calvary Christian Academy is always a stellar event. Held at the Carleton Place High School, the academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Wonderful Lifeâ&#x20AC;? themed silent and live auction featured a large variety of gifts for every budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a little bit of everything,â&#x20AC;? said Jenny Erwin, the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coordinator, and a parent of two children at the academy. This is her fourth time organizing the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It usually brings in about $25,000 to $30,000,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That helps us grant bursaries to help with tuitions.â&#x20AC;? This event, and the Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Franktown fun run in the spring, are two of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest fundraisers. Erwin said they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it though, without the overwhelming support of the community. This year, the event raised $28,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a silent auction and a live auction and there are a number of items here that people are eager to bid on for Christmas gifts,â&#x20AC;? she said. From hockey tickets to home dĂŠcor, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toys to restaurant gift certificates, the list of items was plentiful.

Barbara and James Kalil of Pittston said they have come to the auction to help support the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to get Christmas gifts marked off the list,â&#x20AC;? said Barbara. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky to get the highest bid. It gets pretty crazy at the end,â&#x20AC;? she added, saying she needed to wrestle her way to the tables to outbid others for items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great event.â&#x20AC;? Even the students at the academy did their parts to ensure the event was a success. Each class decorated miniature Christmas trees which were up for auction, and many of the older students were on duty as guest greeters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a competition in October this year to raise money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Canadian Tire money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the class with the most money raised won an ice cream cake from the Dairy Queen,â&#x20AC;? said Erwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They raised $1,000 and we have purchased a couple big ticket items from Canadian Tire with the funds.â&#x20AC;? A big screen television and an electric Barbie car were purchased by the students for the auction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The business communities in Perth, Smiths Falls and in Carleton Place have been very generous,â&#x20AC;? said Erwin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so very thankful for that, and for all who have supported us in any way.â&#x20AC;?

Perth child and youth worker wins inspiring woman contest Community – Christine Campbell, dedicated youth worker at Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI), won “An Inspiring Woman” makeover contest co-sponsored by Judy Joannou of Judy Joannou Designs, Ashton; Dr. Manuela Joannou of Tay River Reflections Medical Spa, Perth; and Jamie Anderson and Brittany Steckly of Escape Salon and Spa, Carleton Place. The sponsors promoted the contest through their businesses, asking clients to submit stories of extraordinary women who inspire them. “Earlier this year the idea came to me to honour a woman who contributes to the community and who inspires others; someone who affects positive change in individuals and the community,” Joannou explained. These are women who focus their time and energy on others, not seeking recognition. “I wanted to discover and reward such a woman by pampering her with a beauty and style makeover,” she said. Joannou created the contest calling on hairstylists Anderson and Steckly, and sister-in-law Dr. Joannou to contribute. Before and after images are provided courtesy of photographer Sarah Evans of Carleton Place. The total prize package is valued at over $1,500. Christine Campbell, whose nomination was submitted by co-worker Cindy Rotar, was the winner of the grand prize of this ultimate celebration of style and beauty. Campbell, a child and youth worker at PDCI who deals with challenging and

troubled teens, is a strong advocate for youth mental health and addiction issues. An active member of the Lanark Mental Health Strategy and numerous school committees, she works tirelessly to develop workshops for students and their parents. “Life for some of our youth can be very difficult, but they constantly remind me how the human spirit can adapt and survive during trying times as they work through issues which may include anxiety, depression, bullying, difficult family situations, poverty, eating disorders and addiction,” Campbell explained. Campbell describes a particularly trying day that changed her life. “A father walked into my office with his daughter in tow. He proceeded to tell me that he no longer wanted her and she was now my ‘problem’, and plopped down a large green garbage bag containing his daughter’s possessions. This girl was 16-yearsold and had nowhere to go. It became evident to me that there was a real lack of community services to help youth between the ages of 16 to 18 who find themselves homeless,” Campbell said. “From that experience I went on to help found Cornerstone Landing Youth Services (CLYS). CLYS provides financial assistance to at-risk youth who may be on the verge of homelessness, to stay in school and work towards their high school diploma. In a few short years we have helped several students to graduate; even seeing some of them go off to college. I am truly blessed to be part of a wonderful group of people, who

As the winner, Campbell will have an updated look just in time for the holiday season. Designer Joannou provided a fashion consultation and style advice on selecting a striking outfit from Joannou’s 2014 fall collection ($300). “Judy immediately put me at ease…and with her designer’s eye she expertly guided me through the process of picking out the perfect outfit,”

said Campbell. Dr. Joannou administered skin rejuvenating sessions including $1,000 towards treatments, definitely a special treat as Campbell noted, “Having facial treatments was never on my radar until now.” On Nov. 11, the final stage of “An Inspiring Woman” took place at Escape Salon and Spa 241 Bridge St., Carleton Place.

Anderson refreshed Campbell’s look with a new haircut, color and style ($150 value). Steckly completed the makeover, giving the winner a polished look with a professional make-up application ($50 value). Photographer Sarah Evans of Your Shoebox Pics in Carleton Place was on site, snapping the after shots of the winner. Submitted by Judy Joannou.

Author-illustrator duo to hold book signing Dec. 13 in Almonte Community – When Jan Andrews sits down at her desk to write, she looks out over a lake just off the Wolf Grove Road in Lanark. What she sees forms the heart of The Twelve Days of Autumn, her latest picture book. Once more, she is in collaboration with artist, Susan Rennick-Jolliffe. This is a partnership that began with their earlier book, The Twelve Days of Summer – a partnership that has grown. “People are always asking if I do the illustrations,” Andrews says. “The truth is I can’t draw anything. I have to stick to the words.” The duo will be at Mill Street Books in Almonte Saturday, Dec. 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. for a book signing. The two are creating out of a shared passion for nature. “We grew up thousands of miles apart but we both have vivid memories of bringing home caterpillars

to feed so we could see them turn into butterflies, tending polliwogs in jam jars so we could observe legs and tails appearing as those polliwogs changed into frogs,” Rennick-Jolliffe explains. “That passion makes us the perfect team,” Andrews adds. “It makes working together so much fun.” Fun is what The Twelve Days of Autumn offers young readers in abundance. The words dance along in the pattern of The Twelve Days of Christmas. The illustrations sing with life. The book is all about getting ready for winter. Groundhogs munch mightily, frogs find places to bury themselves, red-winged blackbirds gather, geese take off in flocks. Readers become naturewatchers. The Twelve Days of Autumn is a seek and find book. As birds, plants, animals increase in number they have a tendency to hide themselves. Turning the

pages means joining in a treasure hunt. Where is that fourth milkweed pod? Is the ninth warbler really way back there in the sky? The two also have their own separate careers. Rennick-Jolliffe is a renowned multi-media artist whose work has been exhibited far and wide;

Andrews has been a children’s writer since the 1970’s and is the author of award winning books. Both are delighted to be visiting Mill Street Books to talk to readers and, of course, do signings. “Mill Street Books is such a gem and The Twelve Days of Autumn is perfect for Christmas-giving,” Jan says. As an added bonus, Almonte’s fine craft store, The General, will be displaying examples of the original art work, just a few steps across the street. Mill Street Books is located at 52 Mill Street in Almonte. For more information, visit www. susanrennickjolliffe.com or www. janandrews.ca.

West Ottawa Ladies Chorus plans annual Christmas concert Dec. 13-14 Community – To truly conduct a choir, the director must regard each voice as an instrument in the same way an orchestra leader does. Robert Dueck, director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus (WOLC), not only delights in being able to make music sing, but has the ability to mold and balance over 40 voices to produce a sound that is one unit. It is a talent learned over years of training and directing church and community choirs from as far away as BC to our back door. Stittsville is fortunate to benefit from his move east. The members of the WOLC travel from miles away for the opportunity to work with him. Dueck’s passion for what he does gets results. He is demanding, yet ever praising when he hears the perfect sound for which he strives, for which he deems worthy of sharing with an audience. The WOLC, which includes members from Carleton Place and Almonte, is counting down the days to their third annual Christmas concert, A Garland of Carols. Christmas is a time for rejoicing and this year the WOLC is celebrating with the hip-swinging Calypso beat of the Caribbean along with traditional carols. Eliana Kurilov the chorus accompanist, formerly from Brazil, plays the beat with passion. Brazilan-born, she is a classically and sacred trained musician with dual degrees (Bachelor of Music degree from Conservatório Dramático e Musical de Sao

Paulo and Faculdade Teológica Batista de São Paulo, Brazil) with concentration in piano and organ. She has more than 30 years experience as a pianist and organist for soloists, adult choirs and church services. In addition to being an accompanist, she has also been a children’s choir music director. To enhance this year’s musical experience, Dueck invited two accomplished musicians to accompany several numbers, Robin Tropper, a well-known oboe player and Gary King’s on guitar. Tropper trained in classical music at Conservatoire de Montréal and McGill University. A professional music career proved challenging in the face of dealing with chronic pain syndrome and limited opportunities in Canada, so he shifted his focus and now works for a major software company in Ottawa. Acquiring a M.A.Sc. Computer Engineering meant his oboe remained almost entirely neglected for 10 years, until he was able to re-dedicate time to it. Dueck contacted Tropper and suggested he ease back to public performance at the Christmas concert. Another accomplished musician, Gary King has provided guitar accompaniment at several of the WOLC performances. He also plays trumpet but the guitar became his first choice when he took it with him to fill the offduty hours while in the navy.

His guitar playing has brought multiple opportunities ranging from public performances to lots of party singing fun (King sings too). Multi-talented he has taken opportunities to expand his creative side to include live theatre—ranging from serious to comedy to farce. He is currently in his 3rd year of singing with the Goulbourn Male Chorus and in his 28th year with the Ottawa Choral Society and 16 years with St. Barnabus award-winning church choir (CBC Choral Competition). This year, several of the choir ladies step up with traditional Caribbean instruments to shake it up at this performance. Gentlemen of the West Ottawa Chorale will also lend their voices to make the evening memorable. Once again, Dueck has invited the Trinity Handbell Quartet to join in this is the notto-be missed concert. Two performances will be presented, Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 14 at 2:30 p.m., at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, 20 Young Rd., Kanata. Tickets ($15) are available at Gaia Java Coffee Shop at 1300 Main St., Stittsville, Kanata Barber Shop at 2 Beaverbrook Rd., Kanata, through choir members and at the door. There are a limited number of free admission tickets available for children 12 and under. Please note: it is advisable to purchase tickets ahead of time as past performances have sold out.

Region comes together to keep loved ones with dementia safe Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

News – Stakeholders have joined forces in an effort to keep the county’s dementia clients safe, and challenge local residents to be part of the solution. A day-long working session at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre Nov. 27 focused on setting down the foundation for a county-wide plan to reduce the fatalities of dementia clients who go missing. “The biggest thing we’re looking for is to bring that person home,” added Const. Dave Murphy of the Smiths Falls Police Service. “We all have a pair of eyes – each one of us. We need the civilians to start looking for people.” Residents who see something out of place such as a person not dressed properly for the weather, looking confused or concerned and standing still for a long period of time; are encouraged to call 9-1-1 as this person may already have been reported missing. “We have to help one another,” said Sgt. Jeff Arnold of the OPP Emergency Response Team. The concept of creating a Finding Your Way plan for Lanark County is a timely one as the baby boomer generation continues to enter their golden years. Statistics from the Lanark County Alzheimer’s Society project there will be a 50 per cent increase in dementia cases in the next five years (or one million people diagnosed) nation wide. Drilling down to Lanark County, Sandra Lawn (session facilitator) estimates this means 1,320 individuals in the county today are suffering from some

form of dementia. “These are the people that we’re here to worry about today. Every single person is important,” Lawn said. She emphasized 90 per cent of seniors don’t have dementia, but the indication that the number being diagnosed will continue to rise makes creating a county-wide safety plan not only timely but necessary. Many in the room last week spoke of the obstacle of denial or downplaying of a loved one’s illness as one of the major difficulties in keeping all county residents safe. “I want you to still be independent and I want you to do as much as possible, but you still need to remain safe,” explained Robin Hull, education and support coordinator at Lanark County Alzheimer Society. Ken and Lorraine Martin are a local couple who have been living with Ken’s diagnosis of dementia for five years. They took a pro-active approach from the start and have sought out educational opportunities such as Nov. 27’s working session. “We’ve accepted it as something we can not change, but we can make better,” Lorraine added. “I’ll tell you this: denial is a killer.” The couple took home a lot of helpful information that day including a suggestion to notch out a piece of your loved one’s shoe so it makes a unique impression on the ground and can be discovStacey Roy/METROLAND ered easier by police. Sgt. Arnold urged family members Sandra Lawn, above, facilitated a day-long working session to keep La- and care facilities to please call police nark County’s dementia clients safe, Nov. 27 at the Smiths Falls Memo- before you do your search because evrial Community Centre. ery minute counts when trying to locate

someone with dementia. Police have found an area of no more than 2.4 km is ideal when trying to bring someone back alive. In rural areas the search region can grow much beyond this very quickly so swiftly contacting police is essential. Care facilities are also asked to inform police of who was in charge at the time the person went missing, as well as any known hazards or areas of interest the individual liked to visit close by. Most often people are found very close by where they live. Never underestimate they may be sitting in the garage,” Sgt. Arnold said. Officers will search the building first and then any areas of interest before branching out into a large ground search. Sgt. Arnold reminded those present that only one per cent of dementia cases will respond when called, so it’s critical family is involved from the beginning to identify areas of interest as soon as possible. Louise Noble with the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County suggested hosting a caregiver information night with the OPP to share this information and other helpful tips. This would be a day organized in concert with all agencies and would be one of many opportunities to work with the police in education initiatives. Part of the action plan includes increased coverage by the media. It was also noted greater sharing of information between the organization and police can only help to keep everyone safe.

lost. If you find someone you suspect could have dementia it’s important to keep calm, not approach them from the back, and use short and simple words. If needed repeat the question using the same words and stay with them until the police or family arrives. Providing a means to find your loved one can allow them to keep their independence while maintaining safety. Location devices offer this kind of peace of mind, but at a cost. The cost of effecting long-term change to such a wide issue in rural eastern Ontario is being addressed by a new grant program offered by Grants Ontario known as Age-Friendly Community Planning Grant. This program will provide up to $25,000 for communities under 20,000 people who are planning, implementing or evaluating programs that contribute to an agefriendly community.

Reader questions dealership charging for time when problem isn’t found Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, I read your column with interest and have found many tips along the way. The column about recall info caught my attention as my car was one of the ones affected by the ignition switch problem. I scheduled an appointment, took the car in to the dealership where I had bought it and didn’t wait long before it was ready to go. After watching Fifth Estate (or was it W5?), I was really concerned. I thought some “pin” in the ignition would be replaced. But no…all they did was to attach a piece of “something” to the key itself, to make the ring-hole in the key smaller. My question is…how does making the keyhole smaller, affect the ignition itself? My car is a 2012 Buick Lucerne.” AP The GM ignition-switch recall (where the switch was replaced) for the Buick Lucerne only involved vehicles up to the 2011 model year. Your vehicle’s call-back was to reduce the size of a key ring you can attach to your Buick’s ignition key. Even with a properly working ignition switch, carmakers (not just GM) are urging people not to attach anything to their ignition key. Your dealer took the correct action. “Hello Brian, I enjoy reading your articles on the problems with the check engine light coming on in

vehicles. My 2012 Ford Explorer was sending a check brake system warning periodically and I was unhappy with the way Ford deals with these types of problems. I have an extended warranty for 150,000 km with no deductible. I was charged $100 for a dealer to check on this. They could not find the problem so they charged for the service. Later I took it back to my original selling dealer and they replaced a circuit board and that seems to have resolved the problem. I think Ford should repay my $100 but they say no. Is there any other way of resolving this? Ford told me it is their policy to allow dealers to charge for their time if they cannot find the problem. My policy is not to pay Ford for not being able to find a problem with their own vehicle. Ford did eventually resolve the brake problem afterwards and did it under my warranty.” I would appreciate your comments. SB Thanks for the readership and question. When it comes to diagnostic time required to identify specific repairs or parts needed, few dealerships or their technicians are ever happy with the time given by automakers in their warranty labour time guides. Some diagnoses are easy taking only a few moments for an experienced tech and some take hours

with shop manual diagnostic manuals requiring multiple tests on components and wiring harnesses that are often hard to locate and reach. That being said, this should be an issue between Ford and its dealership(s) not Ford and you. Offering a warranty that doesn’t cover all the labour is really of no value. The implied terms of most warranties indicate that if a covered part is found defective, the labour to diagnose and replace it will also be covered. About the only exception to this would be the extra time to remove non-factory equipment to access the part (having to take off trailer hitch you installed to access a covered bumper part for example). Carmakers also won’t cover consequential damages such as lost time at work, replacement fuel, etc. But they spell this out up front in their warranty contracts and booklets. I would suggest sending a letter to Ford of Canada’s head ofﬁce customer service department along with copies of

1973 Mustang Mach I helping to find a cure for cancer Community – Doug Fernick of Grimsby, Ont., is very pleased to see his 1973 Mustang Mach I displayed in dazzling yellow in the 2015 “Detroit Muscle Cruises for a Cure” calendar produced by Ray Vella of Mississauga, Ont. (info@rayvellaphoto.com). The calendar is $15 with all proceeds benefiting the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, one of the top five cancer research centres in the world. Ray photographed twelve muscle cars in colour for his 2015 calendar. Doug’s 1973 Mustang Mach I is the feature car for October. It was built in

Dearborn, Michigan, in May 1973 and the original delivery was to Kansas City, Missouri. Doug’s car features a 351 cubic inch Cleveland V8 with 4-speed floor shift manual transmission, 3:25 axle ratio, and 266 horsepower (the highest for Mustang of that year). It was the last of the full-size Mustangs. The roof is half vinyl, an option on the ’73 Mustang. Other features include power steering and power brakes, AM radio, tinted glass, two-tone hood paint, NASCAR hood, original yellow paint, and 70x14 raised white lettered bias ply tires. The first Mach 1 arrived as a

1969 model with high performance to compete with GM’s Camaro. Doug initially found his Mach 1 on eBay, but before he could buy it, someone in Grimsby, Ont., had purchased it. Doug figured the car had been sold to Wayne Hampton from Classic Car by Hampton. Doug contacted Wayne and before he knew it, Doug was

the new owner of the Mustang Mach 1. This was the start of a great friendship between Wayne and Doug and now they regularly attend cruise nights together. In the past six years, Ray Vella and his wife have raised over $45,000 for cancer research, with more than half coming from their Classic Car Calendars.

“When we started our fund raising back in 2009,” says Ray, “I participated in my first Ride to Conquer Cancer. This epic cycling journey, which began in 2008, now attracts over 5,000 cyclists making the 2-day trek from Toronto to Niagara Falls. “Inspired by this Ride, I began photographing classic cars and producing calendars. It has been a year round effort from arranging shoots, editing and selling the calendars at cruise nights, swap meets, and word of mouth. For the last two years, Global Appetite Inc. has been the corporate sponsor for the calendars, and
