Mudds founder named Citizen of the Year Tara Gesner
tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – Jan Ferguson has been named Carleton Place Citizen of the Year for 2014. Ferguson was honoured for her contribution to the community on Friday, Dec. 5, during the municipality’s annual Appreciation Night, which took place inside the upper hall of the Neelin Street Community Centre. Last year’s recipient Bob White made the announcement in front of
a capacity crowd. “This year’s winner is an active member of Zion-Memorial United Church and a member of the church choir,” he said. “This person has also served on the recreation and culture and town hall auditorium committees.” Other accomplishments of Ferguson’s include serving as a Hungry Lunch Café volunteer, 25-year manager at Elizabeth Court (home for seniors), the establishment of a local shelter for people displaced by the 1998 ice storm, and more. “However, she is best known as the
founder of the Mississippi Mudds theatre group,” White said, “and she is a wonderful inspiration.” Ferguson accepted her award and quickly began thanking some of the people who helped her over the years, eliciting some laughs from the crowd. “This is sort of embarrassing,” she said. “I was having such a good time and now you’ve made me cry.” Ferguson called the honour unwarranted, unexpected and utterly thrilling.
minute meeting he had a very good view of it and started to ask some direct questions and I was pretty sure that he wants to learn more. The last thing he said to his staff was ‘When this comes across my desk this time, let’s make sure we know everything.’” During the meeting they discussed the scientific study produced by the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists which states the maples in the Appleton wetland are dying due to continuously high water levels. “He agrees obviously that the trees are dying because I showed him pictures,” explained McLaughlin. “As to why they are dying, it is a standard denial. We don’t know it’s the high water level, and we have a lot of science to prove it. He said ‘I’ll have my scientist look at your scientists and we will see.’ He’s just not accepting and I can understand that may-
be he doesn’t want to just take things without a sober second thought.” The group asked the minister to open the water management plan for the wetland and to drop the water level in the summer until the plan can be reworked. They also showed the minister plans from Enerdu to excavate the shelf of rock by the weir that provides one of the town’s waterfalls. The delegation asked that the ministry not allow the excavation, since McLaughlin says the property is likely Crown land. “I think we did a great job of telling him what the facts were. Now he will think about what needs to be done,” he said. “At least we got him thinking about an issue.” McLaughlin will be following up with the minister’s office and will be sending him more information as per his request.

News – Mississippi Mills mayor Shaun McLaughlin called his recent meeting with Bill Mauro, Ontario Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry “very good.” McLaughlin, along with councillors Duncan Abbott, Alex Gillis and chief administrative officer Diane Smithson, travelled to Toronto on Dec. 1 to discuss the Appleton Wetlands and Enerdu with the minister. “Minister Mauro did not know where Mississippi Mills was and had no idea about the issues on the wetland other than the fact he had a very brief briefing note. He didn’t have any idea how big the new Enerdu project was going to be,” McLaughlin told the Canadian Gazette. “So by the end of our brief 35-

After five weeks on Build a Mountain trail, food total eclipses last year’s mark “Our friend Dennis Trodden and his family, who are the owners of the Merrickville Food Market, had six boxes donated to the store and another four boxes ready to be loaded into the van when we arrived,” said Colton. “We worked in conjunction with the Merrickville Lions Club this year, helping them with food and cash donations for their annual hamper campaign. The Merrickville Firefighters’ Association showed up during Build a Mountain of Food’s stop with a cash donation of $300 to add to the day.”

Community – After five weeks on the trail, Hugh Colton’s Build a Mountain of Food crusade has smashed last year’s total by more than 6,000 pounds. Saturday, the campaign hit the 102,690 mark – last year’s final pound count – by 8:45 a.m. in Portland. The cash count has not quite reached last year’s total, but Colton said he isn’t worried. The $31,906.58 in donations is still a staggering amount, he said. “It’s not about goals… it’s about going full steam ahead, foot on the gas all the way to the end of this campaign,” he said. The six-week weekend road blitz has one week remaining as it hits Athens and Delta Saturday, but there are also some special events taking place in December that will raise the bar even higher as it makes its way through Lanark, Leeds and Grenville counties. One of the highlights of last weekend’s campaign was the Lanark County paramedics collaborating with a food drive of their own which filled an ambulance on site at four grocery stores in Perth, Carleton Place, Almonte and Smiths Falls. As a result of Dale McCabe and his associate paramedics, they were able to collect 6,400 pounds of food and $1,200. Paramedic Erica Ray co-ordinated the effort. “We’re very, very pleased with the response,” McCabe noted at the stop at Food Basics in Smiths Falls. “There are so many families and individuals struggling to make ends meet and what better way than to help out the food bank.” Colton said it was such a huge success that they will continue to partner for the cause and make it an annual event. “We split it up evenly and four food banks in Perth, Lanark Village, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place got $300 in cash and 1,600 pound of food,” Colton said. “It was a huge success.” On Dec. 6 Colton was at the Portland Food Market where 2,035 pounds of food were collected, along with $3,511.65 in donations. He then went to Merrickville for the afternoon where the campaign collected 819 pounds of food and $309.05 in cash donations. “The excitement of the morning started early in Portland with a generous 500-pound food donation from Shaun Heffernan and continued when we went over the 100,000-pound mark thanks to a couple of donations from Daryl Elliot and Rideau Centennial Public School in Portland,” Colton said. “The overwhelming generosity from the Portland community kept coming all morning long as people were driving by and handing him cash out of their vehicle windows.” The campaign received donations from the Portland United Church Women, $500; the Phillipsville Women’s Institute, $250; Olga Baker, $50; Vivian Perrin, $100, the Portland Clothing Coop, $400; Andy and Connie Gilder, $250; Sheila McKeage, $100; Lombard Glen Golf and Country Club, $200, Doug Kirkland, $50; the Good family,
Colton extended his appreciation, on behalf of the campaign, to the residents and visitors who bought pre-packaged bags and helped make the stop another highlight. “A heartfelt thank you to Dennis Trodden and his entire family for continuing to support the campaign in Merrickville every year,” Colton said. “The Trodden family is a true asset to the Merrickville community.” He also acknowledged the See MOUNTAIN page 5 R0023045840_1211

thank you to all the residents, churches, charity organizations, businesses and clubs for making our stop a recordbreaker in so many ways,” Colton said. “And a special thanks goes out to Cheryl Stoddard and her wonderful crew from the Portland Community Food Bank for all their hard work to make Build a Mountain of Food’s stop such a big success.” Colton also praised Doug Good, “who continues to give back to his community and to Rideau Lakes Township in general, every single day for spreading the word and making things happen.” In Merrickville, the village came through again with food and cash donations which coincided with their holiday celebration, Christmas in Merrickville.

News – The sound of the final bullet rang out, echoing down the halls of École Polytechnique in Montreal 25 years ago, but the reverberations from that day continue still. This past Saturday marked the 25th anniversary of the “Montreal Massacre,” which saw 14 female engineering students gunned down on Dec. 6, 1989. They were singled out because they were women. No other reason. “One man felt that these women had taken his place,” said host Vicki Hallas, of that “darkest of days.” Since then, the situation has not gotten much better. Since those final days of the 1980s, about 1,500 Canadian women have been killed by intimate partners. Standing in front of a packed Moore House in downtown Carleton Place this past weekend, Tracy Kwissa explained why there were all there, “in solidarity with women everywhere,” but, specifically, to come together on “a day heavy with tragedy and violence and pain.” She confided to the assembled that, “I am a survivor of domestic violence.” She was not alone.

apartment, alongside the bodies of her two young sons. They were only found by Toronto police because the body of her estranged partner had been found on a busy Toronto roadway, having jumped to his death. They were there to notify the next of kin – only to find yet another scene of domestic violence. “We honour and we recognize but we are still not done,” she said. One thing that changed, and then changed back, was the issue of gun control. Jean Chretien’s Liberals made good on their pledge to implement a long gun registry after they were swept to power in 1993, a policy drafted in their Red Book election platform as a response to the massacre. By 2006, with Conservative leader Stephen
Harper the nation’s new leader, the long-gun registry was soon headed for the scrap heap. “We live in Lanark County,” said Lee-Todd. “Gun control is something we are thinking about every day.” This is because, according to her statistics, rural women are eight times as likely to be killed with a gun at the hands of an intimate partner. But some things have changed, for the better. “We (now) have mandatory charging,” she said. “We fought for that.” She also noted that Ontario has its first female – and openly gay – premier, which she called “a step forward.” While the Moore House, with photos and memorabilia of Roy Brown, Carleton Place’s flying ace who shot down the Red Baron during the First World War dotting the wall, was a safe
place for women that afternoon, LeeTodd reminded them that there were many women, under different roofs, who were not safe. “Think about the 1,000 women who are in their homes today and they are not safe,” she said. “I want you to leave here enraged (at that.) She also commended the women who had the courage to come forward, at this event and others like it, and identified themselves as victims
of domestic violence. “Our survivors are leading the charge,” she said, adding that they had organized this year’s commemoration – the first time that Interval House had not been the main organizer. Spoken word artist B Wilder also delivered a poem based on the children’s rhyme, “I Know An Old Lady,” with a darker, domestic violence theme. “I know a young woman who swallowed a lie. I don’t know why she
swallowed that lie. Perhaps she’ll die,” she sang. The song progressed to the woman dating, getting married, getting abused, having children, seeing those children internalize the violence they saw before them, believing it to be acceptable. Eventually, yes, she too did die, at the hands of her husband. “One of the reasons women get caught up in violence is because of poverty,” said Wilder. “Make poverty a priority.”

Merrickville Lions Club, especially Carol Kelly, president, and Ted Purvis, who spent the afternoon with the Build a Mountain volunteers, collecting food and cash donations. Kudos were extended to Dawn Rodger who also helped out by volunteering her time and efforts, this year and every year, in Merrickville, Colton said. This leads the campaign into its final weekend on the road with a morning stop in Athens at Fresh Mart where all donations will go to the Athens Food Bank. The campaign will finish in Delta during the afternoon with a stop at the Delta Country Market for donations to the Delta Food Bank. But that’s not all for the cam-
paign. This Saturday, Dec. 13, Colton will be at Last Duel Park in Perth for the opening of Winter Wonderland. Due to the CPR Holiday Train not making a stop in Perth this year, Colton said the Build a Mountain of Food campaign will make a pit stop in the park on Saturday night. “I’ll be there with the Jeep and we’ll fire up the music,” he said. The park will be open for walks and sleigh rides from 5 to 9 p.m., and will feature a bonfire, thousands of Christmas lights in community displays, hot chocolate, and Christmas music. Lake 88.1 FM, another sponsor of the Build a Mountain of Food campaign, will also be on hand, as well as The Table Community Food Centre’s Good Food Bank to collect non-perishable food and cash donations.

McMillan, who contested the position as a rookie trustee four years ago against former chair Greg Pietersma, said he was honoured to earn the role uncontested. “I am really pleased,” said McMillan. “I think it shows a lot of confidence and support for myself and the 1st and 2nd vice chairs. This is the kind of support we need in order to move forward to the challenges that face us.” The 62-year-old Brockville resident worked as a teacher for the UCDSB from 1977 to 2007, retiring from Commonwealth Public School. He is an author of two books dealing with education entitled Thirty Years of Mondays and What If: Learning for the 21st century.

McMillan was a teacher known for innovative instructional practices, creating The Current Experience program at Commonwealth Public School, a project-based, cross-curricular program for Grades 7 and 8 students that showed impressive results for student learning. The chair said there are several challenges facing the board in the coming term, including: the hiring of a new director of education following the retirement of former director David Thomas, working to improve EQAO results within the board, and creating effective programming for our students in an age of declining enrollment. “We have a heavy road ahead, but I feel confident we can accomplish what we need to,” he said. Other board members sworn
in with McMillan, Carkner and MacDonald by Judge Michael Quigley during the meeting were: Trustee Wendy MacPherson, Ward 9; trustee Jeremy Armer, Ward 7; trustee Lisa Swan, Ward 6; trustee John McAllister, Ward 4; trustee Susan Richards, Ward 3; trustee Peter Garrow, First Nations Representative; and trustee Donald Cram, Ward 1. Veteran trustee Bill MacPherson (Ward 2) was unable to attend. McMillan told those new board members around the table that while it will be a challenging time, it will also be fulfilling. “This will be one of the most rewarding experiences you will ever have in your life because we are impacting children who have the ability to change the world,” he said.

Legacy Gift will generate $42.2 MILLION for CHEO over next 100 years Weldon Cochrane was an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) and was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact when he decided to made a gift in his Will to CHEO. He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000
from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

Participate in your local volunteer Christmas Bird Count until Jan. 5 cold to take part in a count contributes to the study and conservation of birds. Data collected are used to monitor the status of resident and migratory birds across the Western Hemisphere. “The Christmas Bird Count is a fun tradition with an important goal – bird study and conservation,” says Anne Bell, director of conservation and education at Ontario Nature. “It’s great to see expert and novice birders working together to spot as many species as possible, regardless of the weather.” Last year in Ontario, more than 4,000 people participated in 110 Christmas Bird Counts. A whopping 178 species and 1,094,937 individual birds were recorded. Here are some highlights: • A record number of trumpeter swans (160) were spotted at LaSalle Marina in Burlington. • Snow bunting was the sixth most abundant bird reported, reaching a record tally of 101,541 individuals.
• Participants of 58 counts recorded 284 snowy owls. By comparison, participants of 29 counts recorded 52 snowy owls the year before. • Common redpoll, pine siskin, crossbill and grosbeaks were absent or present in smaller-than-
participants spotted 350 darkeyed juncos, a new high for this species. • Participants of the Blenheim and Hamilton counts spotted 98 species, the greatest number among all Ontario counts last year.
What avian rarities and trends will we uncover this year? Join a Christmas Bird Count to find out. And if you’re still not convinced that participating in a count is for you, many are followed by a potluck. Submitted by Ontario Nature.

Community – Throughout the holiday season, many Ontarians enjoy one decadent feast after another. Why not use those newly-acquired calories to help our feathered friends? The Christmas Bird Count, initiated by American ornithologist Frank Chapman in 1900, is a one-day bird census conducted by volunteers. Counts are organized locally by birding and nature clubs. They are free and open to everyone – no matter skill or age. This year, counts run from Dec. 14 to Jan. 5. Visit the Ontario Nature (www. ontarionature.org/cbc) and Bird Studies Canada (www. bsc-eoc.org/volunteer/cbc) websites to find your local count. Ontario Nature member groups are co-ordinating more than 70 counts. The Christmas Bird Count is the longest-running wildlife census and a crucial part of Canada’s biodiversity monitoring database.

Think before you drink
ditorial – The holidays are a time for mirth and merriment, but too much of a good thing can have horrific consequences. ‘Tis the season for Christmas parties and along with that comes spirits, not the apparitions who visit Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, but those of the alcohol variety. There are many ways to enjoy the season and while alcohol can play a factor, measures should be put in place to ensure each partygoer’s safety. If hosting a gathering this year, ensure that no one who has consumed alcohol gets behind the wheel of a vehicle. While inviting guests, form a plan to appoint certain people as designated drivers or encourage those who have been drinking to stay over or take a taxi home. Being prepared can make all the difference in having a safe and successful holiday party. To take it a step further, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit encourages safe drinking practices and the option of serving “mocktails” instead of those with alcohol. These drinks are still delicious and eliminate the potential dangerous element of liquor. Visit www.healthunit.org for recipes.
If attending an office Christmas party, look out for friends. Don’t let them drive home. A recent press release from an Ontario personal injury law firm highlighted an incident 10 years ago where a Barrie woman drove home drunk from her office holiday party. She was involved in a crash that left her with a brain injury and disabled. The woman ended up suing her employer for allowing her to drive and that her boss was aware of her level of intoxication from the party’s self-serve open bar. The judge found in the woman’s favour, that she was only 75 per cent responsible for her actions. This underlines the importance of an employer’s duty to keep employees safe in their workplace. Ways to do this include avoiding serving alcohol at the parties or have a professional bartender offer services to ensure people aren’t over-drinking. Free taxi vouchers also allows employees to get home safe and sound. The possibility of injuring or killing someone because you chose to drive drunk should be enough of a deterrent, but for many it isn’t. Don’t become another statistic this holiday season and plan ahead before going out to spread Christmas cheer.

sickeningly obvious is an insult to my intelligence. But, I feel that I must make my statement as this is a grave matter. I will stay focused on this problem, although the temptation to veer into other areas of concern is great.

effort, since they were now used to the dim light and with one performance under their belts. All the time they were singing, Miss Smarty-pants was hopping around the stage with her wings flapping and her face cast to the ceiling, trying her best to look like an angel. I thought she looked like a white chicken scanning the stage for a place to light! But I couldn’t say a word, or move from my place, where, as a sheep, I was to keep my eyes on the manger and the doll borrowed from my friend Joyce Frances’ large collection. Miss Crosby had given us explicit instructions not to move off the stage when the concert ended. We were to stay in our positions, and she would say a few words to the audience, thank everyone for coming, and
taxes under the current system increase every year. How real estate prices can be known four years in advance is beyond me. The incomes of people on fixed incomes (ODSP, Ontario Works, CPP, CPP Disability, OAS, GIS) does not increase anywhere even close enough to cover these exorbitantly increasing costs. Therefore, municipalities and necessity utility companies should be mandated by the government to charge low (according to income tax)/fixed income people according to what they
can actually afford to pay, and still eat. No wonder the use of food banks is skyrocketing. Shameful for this province/country. As I sit here writing this letter on Remembrance Day, I wonder what our honourable veterans think of what is going on in this province/country now. Would they be proud?
as happened every year, as if by magic, as soon as she finished, the school door flew open, and in rushed Santa Claus. Only then could we leave the stage and go to sit on the two front planks. Well, that’s when all hell broke loose. Miss Perfect, bound to be the first off the stage, as soon as Santa roared into the school with his ‘Ho, Ho’ Ho’s, Marguerite made a dive to lead the parade from the make-shift stage, which was just a platform borrowed from the United Church, her foot caught on the tail of her dress, and she slid off the stage like a ship being launched from a dock! Her wings were under her, and hadn’t Miss Crosby made a grab for her, she would have slid right into the front row of planks. Santa Claus never missed a beat, ignored the heap on the
floor and headed right for the tree, ready to hand out the presents. It was a pretty quiet Marguerite we saw for the rest of the night. My brother Emerson, on the way home in the flat-bottomed sleigh after the evening was over, said he’d bet his last dollar that she wouldn’t be the angel in the next Christmas concert. I thought if she didn’t grow too much, maybe Miss Crosby could put her in the crib, and she could be baby Jesus. That way she would have to stay perfectly still for the entire evening and not move a muscle. Somehow, I couldn’t picture her in the role. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Manage Your Money
Giving your kids or grandkids the gift of cash at Christmas is a good thing, isn’t it? Well, yes and no. Yes, financial gifts are always appreciated. But no, because cash is the gift that doesn’t keep on giving – once it’s gone … it’s gone. Here are some more creative ways to give money as a gift – ways that will keep in giving. • Buy a stock, bond or units of a mutual fund through an account in the recipient’s name. The recipient will not have the legal capacity to cash the account in until they reach the age of majority. In most cases, so long as the recipient remains a minor, the parents’ authorization will be required to establish the account and to accept further contributions. • Contribute to investments that are held within a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). However, it’s generally not recommended that grandparents establish a separate RESP for their grandchildren – for example, if the child decides not to pursue a post-secondary education and the plan income is withdrawn as an accumulated income payment (AIP),
Darlene Donnelly cfp Financial Consultant (613) 264-0064 Perth
Dayna Cross Consultant (613) 264-0064 Perth
grandparents over age 71 will not be able to contribute the AIP to their RRSP. Instead, give the money to the parents so they can contribute to the child’s already in place investments held in the RESP. • Create a formal trust. If the amount of the gift is significant, a formal trust can ensure that adequate controls are in place and that the funds will be used in the intended manner. Keep in mind that when giving financial gifts to minors, the grandparents will not have the authority to manage the child’s financial affairs, and parents typically will not either. Once the gift is purchased, the money will have to stay within the account until the child reaches the age of majority in their province of residence. If the parents want the account cashed out in advance, they may have to obtain a court order of guardianship of the property of the child, or go through some other court process, depending on their province of residence, and the amount they would

like cashed in. Consider also that cashing in equities to raise funds for the gift may trigger unrealized capital gains or losses and there can be tax implications. Also, if the cash gift is invested in income-producing investments, the income will need to be reported by the contributing parents or grandparents on their tax returns until the child turns 18. A financial gift to your kids or grandkids can be the gift that keeps on giving – when it’s properly structured. Your professional advisor can ensure that happens in the best possible way.

Board chair, vice-chair acclaimed at CDSBEO inaugural meeting News – Grenville County and Elizabethtown-Kitley Township trustee Brent Laton has begun his fourth term as chair of the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO). Laton was acclaimed to the position during the inaugural meeting of the board on Dec. 2. Entering his 13th year as a school board trustee, Laton thanked his fellow trustees for their ongoing confidence in his leadership. Laton said he welcomed the opportunity to continue to represent the board. “I would like to thank my fellow trustees for the opportunity to return to my role. I congratulate trustee (Todd) Lalonde, and I look forward to working with him again. I congratulate all trustees. This evening we celebrate Catholic education, and the many successes of our board. I would like to thank our director, and executive council for their outstanding leadership, and I would like to thank our diocese for their ongoing and exceptional support. We continue our theme, Witnesses to Hope, and there are many reasons for us to look forward with hope. Our schools are recognized as top schools in the province, and I look forward to being part of our continued achievements.” Cornwall trustee Todd Lalonde was also acclaimed during the annual meeting, returning as vice-chair of the board for the coming year. Lalonde is now in his ninth year of service as a trustee.

I know Mr. Laton and Mr. Lalonde will continue to provide excellent leadership at the board table.” The evening began with Mass, which was celebrated by Archbishop Brendan O’Brien of the Kingston Archdiocese.

FOR
Christmas is a good time to count our blessings
Real advantages So yes, there are definitely advantages to having an artificial tree, something Kathy has already reminded me of this fall. In past years, after buying a real tree, we normally left it in the garage until we felt the time was right to put a fresh cut in the trunk and bring it into the house for set-up and decorating. Because real trees dry out quickly when they are brought indoors, it meant we normally had a decorated tree for just a few days before Christmas and a few days after. Our real tree was always taken down no later than Jan. 2. With the artificial variety we can set it up well in advance of the holidays and keep it up for as long as we wish afterward. So, this week the setup and decorating is underway. Lily won’t be nine-months-old until a week from Friday so obviously she doesn’t know what a Christmas tree is or whether it is real or artificial. But it’s a lot of fun to have her here as Kathy and I, along with our son Craig, Heather and Indy all participate in the tree decorating process. Decorating is a ritual we thoroughly enjoy because we have so many precious ornaments and items collected over the course of the more than four decades we have been married. Many of

the decorations also mean a lot to our children. Now we have a youngster in the family who will gradually become aware of our holiday traditions, including the meaning of the many individual decorations we cherish.Kathy has already added a new tradition to the mix. We will now purchase a special Christmas decoration for Lily every Christmas. I don’t want to come off as hypocritical. I know that I have previously questioned the growing commercialization of Christmas in this space. I really don’t like the fact that the true meaning of the day and the season is lost amid the glitz and glamour and over spending which mark this season in modern times.On the other hand I don’t begrudge anyone enjoying the holiday season in their own way. And the reality is that spending money is something that goes with Christmas/New Year. I think you have to consider how important this time of year is to retailers, many of whom do a third to a half of their annual business at Christmas. That means a lot of people’s livelihoods are at stake. Therefore it’s impossible for me to condemn the commercial side of Christmas and New Year’s. There is far too much involved! On the other hand this is the season of giving and that extends well beyond our own family. For example, I can’t walk past a Salvation Army kettle without making a donation. We also donate money and/or non-perishable food items to the local food bank at this time of year, knowing that at Christmas the need is much greater. I know Ebenezer Scrooge couldn’t understand that “the want and need of the poor is more keenly felt at Christmas than at any other time of year.” Fortunately Scrooge is a fictional
character and besides, we know that he was eventually shown the error of his ways. So at this wonderful time of year why not think of those less fortunate and contribute a small amount of your disposable income to assist? Every little bit helps and I know you will be happy you did when you think that your contribution made Christmas morning and Christmas dinner that
much better for another family who could not otherwise have afforded to celebrate the season. Despite our recent loss I realize our family is fortunate in so many ways. First and foremost we have each other which is the most important thing. After that everything else is gravy. This is the season of giving and enjoying time with family and friends. It is also a good time to count our blessings and with a New Year looming that is exactly what I intend to do!

together. I accepted the idea grudgingly but by the end of the 2013 Christmas/New Year season I will admit I had warmed to the idea. It is a nice tree, even if it isn’t real, and it does look very nice when it is decorated and lighted. The clean-up following Christmas is so much easier now. We are no longer faced with countless needles on the carpet and stairs after the then dried out tree was hauled through the house, out the front door and left at the curbside for pick-up. In some cases I was forced to dig the tree out of a snowbank if a major storm struck before local public works staff had made their rounds.

Lifestyle – Just two weeks until Christmas and as usual I am scrambling to complete my personal gift shopping. Considering I am only buying for my wife Kathleen it should be a simple matter. But like most males I am a procrastinator when it comes to holiday purchasing. Kathy, the astute and experienced shopper she is, picks up items all year. When December rolls around she is usually finished everything except the things a family needs for a good Christmas dinner, for example. Those food stuffs are normally purchased closer to Dec. 25. Admittedly it is going to be a bittersweet Christmas for me and my immediate family, following the loss of my beloved father Howard early last month. My mother Molly in particular faces a tough Christmas without her husband of 64 years.But my father loved the holiday season and especially the joy of spending quality time with family and friends. My parents have built a lifetime of Christmas traditions, many of which my family and my siblings’ families have also adopted and shared. We will continue to follow the same path because we know that is what my Dad would want. Despite the sorrow associated with his death, just weeks before the holiday season, this is still a very special Christmas for Kathy and me and our family. Our granddaughter Lily and her parents (our daughter and her partner) will be with us for Christmas and we are so looking forward to spending Lily’s first Christmas together here and at the home of my sister Linda Parisien and her husband Allan in Stittsville. All things considered we have much to be thankful for and we are definitely carrying that thought with us into the upcoming holiday season. Last year I finally bowed to my wife’s pressure and accepted her long held desire to purchase a good, artificial Christmas tree instead of buying a real tree which we had done through 41 Christmases

Important tips for healthy eating throughout the holidays Marie Traynor
Lifestyle – Holiday party season is upon us. It’s a time to celebrate, often with food. If holiday eating is stressful for you, here are some strategies that may help: If you are the guest bringing food: • Support healthy eating wherever you celebrate. For example, at work, keep the fruit bowl out longer than the treat bowl. • Bring dishes that have lots of vegetables and fruit.
• If you bring treats, label and wrap them up in small portions so your host can choose to freeze some for another occasion. If you are trying to maintain your well-being throughout the holidays: • Scan the buffet table and start with small portions of the seasonal specials you enjoy the most. • Be mindful of your favourite foods, the tastes, smells and textures. Try some new foods. Enjoy the food without judgment. • Be mindful of your body’s signals. It

Nutrition Tips takes time for the body to signal the brain that it feels full. Eat slowly to allow your body time to send that signal. Put down the cutlery between bites and chat with folks between courses or trips to the food table. After starting with small portions, if you are still hungry, go for more. • Eat some high fibre and protein choices before you go so you won’t arrive overly hungry. For example,
vegetable soup with some meat or tofu or a snack of Greek yogurt with added berries. • Don’t skip meals. If there is a big meal planned for that day, eat smaller meals and snacks beforehand. • Use smaller plates to be mindful of portion size. At a meal, try to fill at least half of the plate with colorful vegetables, ¼ with meat or meat alternate, and ¼ with whole grain product or starch. • Try this tip from Dietitians of Canada if you feel you are being pressured to eat more than you want. Say something
like, “Everything I ate was wonderful. I wouldn’t want to spoil the great meal by overdoing it, but thanks for the offer.” Other ‘keep healthy’ ideas, include being the designated driver. Others will appreciate this and you will need to avoid higher calorie alcoholic drinks. Instead enjoy milk, fortified soya beverage, herbal teas and water flavored with lemon or cucumber slices. Marie Traynor MSc, RD, is a registered dietitian and public health nutritionist with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

Jack and the Beanstalk, the Smiths Falls Station Theatre’s Christmas pantomime, has been receiving rave reviews from audiences. It wraps up this weekend with performances Dec. 12, 13 and 14. Above, Heather Mitchell-Adams (Edena the Eco Fairy) and Garrett Pipher (Simple Simon) strut their stuff. Right, Mike Adams plays the Dame, Jack’s mom –Mrs. Trot.

hungry for more. Sunday’s matinee is virtually sold out, but good tickets remain for Friday and Saturday night. It’s a great show for kids. And, because the performance is only a touch more than two hours long, youngsters and oldsters alike will be out of the theatre by around 9:30 p.m. The remaining performances of Jack and the Beanstalk run on the evenings of Dec. 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on Dec. 14 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and for students (with ID) $10, with special group rates also available. Call The Station Theatre at 613-283-0300 for details. Tickets can be purchased at Special Greetings, 8 Russell St. East, Smiths Falls, cash only; from our Website smithsfallstheatre.com, via Paypal/Visa/Mastercard; by phone at 613-2830300 via Visa/Mastercard; or at the door (subject to availability) half-hour before the performance – cash only. We invite patrons to keep in
touch with all our upcoming shows – outstanding plays and great movies (like Boyhood, showing on Jan. 16 and 17). Simply sign up for our e-newsletter through a visit to our website and find out all about our 2015 season. For this, the Station Theatre is offering a “Six-Pack Flex Pack” voucher plan for just $99, meaning that playgoers can select how they want to use their six vouchers to redeem tickets for any of the 2015 plays. The purchase 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 ordering instructions and information on the different ways the “Six-Pack Flex Pack” can be used throughout the 2015 season.

Arts – Giant Blundercore, played by Nick Ritchie, does not appear on stage until the second act, but when he does he almost steals the show. Towering physically above the rest of the cast – even Mike Adams who gives a hilarious, spirited performance as Jack’s mom, Mrs. Trot – Ritchie presents his menacing character with a wonderful touch of good humour. See if your feet don’t tap as he sings and dances the Barry White hit You’re My Everything, declaring his love for Princess Demelza. Stealing the show outright from this talented cast would be a challenge. Every part, from chorus member to principal boy and girl, Jennifer Jasiak (Jack) and Bethany Duberville (Demelza), was played to perfection. The Princess is the sanest, sweetest character on the stage; small wonder she captures the heart of Jack, who bravely takes on the scary task of rescuing her from Blundercore. The two principals sing and dance well together and – although the action all around them is wild and zany – their warmth as lovers gives the plot line a convincing quality that prepares the audience for the drama of Demelza’s imprisonment by the Giant. Heather Mitchell-Adams got the show off to a great start with her always charming Edena the Eco Fairy. Sheila Jasiak and Shawna Merkley as Daisy the family cow delighted the audience at every turn with their clever movements, especially their dance steps. Slade Stoodley as Slimeball, the odorous assistant to the Giant and his Cockroaches, got the boos his character deserved but his performance rated high praise. Rich Croteau gave us a wonderfully bumbling King Bertram with his corny jokes, and his loyal assistant Flunkit (Nicki Hayes) impressed, especially with her dance turn disguised as a tree. It was Garrett Pipher playing Simple Simon who brought the zaniness of the pantomime to its peak. Always entertaining with his high quality song and dance routines, he provided the energy and rapport with the audience that kept the show moving forward at a rapid pace. First-time director Emily Duberville has set a high standard for herself for future shows. Everything from the pantomime’s lavish costumes (sewn by Susan Adams and Caroline Lunn) to the clever staging (wait for the scene with the strobe lights to be really impressed) have left audiences
Motorists warned of property, identity theft when vehicles left unlocked News – Ontario’s police chiefs are warning motorists and passengers about the dangers of property and identity theft resulting from unlocked vehicles or the leaving of valuables in plain view. The province’s top cops launched the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police’s (OACP) annual Lock It OR Lose It campaign in Toronto Nov. 27. The campaign is a crime prevention program that encourages drivers and passengers to take precautions to protect their vehicles and vehicle contents from theft, particularly during the holiday season. “Leaving vehicles unlocked or valuables in plain sight is an invitation for
thieves to steal your values. Police across Ontario want people to take the time to keep their property safe,” said Chief Kimberley Greenwood (Barrie Police Service), a member the OACP’s community safety and crime prevention committee. “Thieves are also looking for anything in a vehicle that allows them to engage in identity theft. Don’t give them the opportunity. Keep anything with your personal information with you.” During the Lock it OR Lose it campaign, police officers examine parked vehicles to confirm they are locked and that no valuables have been left in plain view. Officers place a small notice on
vehicles checked indicating what safety precautions were neglected and offer simple prevention tips for drivers to protect their vehicles against theft. The notices also congratulate drivers who have secured their vehicle. “The insurance industry remains a strong supporter of the Lock It OR Lose It campaign. We know it works,” said Rick Dubin, vice-president, investigative services, Insurance Bureau of Canada. “While actual vehicle thefts have dropped, we are very concerned about identity theft and identity fraud. Cases of identity theft and fraud have increased across Canada from 10,807 to 11,594 in 2013 – a six
per cent increase.” ca/en/Insurance_Crime/Auto_Theft/.

Arts – It’s the busiest December yet at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre (FCT), with events ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan to a special performance for kids to Celtic fiddlers to homegrown rock and, a first for FCT, a special Christmas variety show direct from the National Arts Centre. The Academy for Musical Theatre brings Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance to the FCT stage Dec. 11 and 12. Performed by the academy’s company of young people (ranging from five to 18-years-old), the shows are always as much fun to watch as they are to be in. Tickets available at the door. The Celtic Heritage Fiddler Orchestra then takes over the stage on Dec. 14, playing to an already sold-out house. The 11-member ensemble presents traditional fiddling styles and have a solid following in the area. The performance begins at 2 p.m. but, as we mentioned, is already sold-out. On Dec. 21 and 22 at 2 p.m., BarnDoor Productions, who just closed their hilarious holiday show Every Christmas Story Ever Told last weekend, will present a special Kids’ Circle performance. What Samuel Aloycious Theodore Herman Michael Jones Got For Christmas (or just Sam's Christmas) is a fun and musical short show for kids up to 10 or so, that comes just at a time when parents might need a little break in the holiday stress. Download and colour poster for the show from www.barndoorproductions.ca and bring it to the show to enter a draw for a fun door prize. A family of four can see the show for just $15, with $5 for each additional person. It’s a very special event at FCT on Dec. 21 at 7:30 p.m. as the Vintage Variety Christmas Revue comes to Perth directly from packed houses and standing ovations at the National Arts Centre. Featuring Ottawa’s top variety performers, the revue offers acts from comedy to music to burlesque to magic

No cat adoptions authorized at LAWS during holiday season from Dec. 14 to 27
Thank you We like to send a huge thank you to Natural Pet Foods in Carleton Place for their efforts and huge support to host the Photos with Santa on Dec. 6. It was a fun day and LAWS received $460.60 in donations. Donations make perfect gift If you’re puzzled as to what Christmas gift to buy for some of your friends who seem to have everything already? Why not make a monetary donation to LAWS in their name. Any donations over $20 are eligible to receive a tax receipt.
This Week’s Pets the vet revealed severe intolerance to some foods, and she requires a special (but not overly expensive) diet. She will be very easy to keep groomed. She greets strangers with a reserved attitude and will bark when she sees or hears something out of the ordinary, but responds politely to friendly people. Like a boxer, she is friendly with some but not all dogs, and cats aren’t her best buddies. Bambi is very trainable and has learned her “sit” and “down” command. She is working on her leash skills and has great off-leash recall. If you’re looking for a loyal and funny companion who will keep you entertained, Bambi will be your forever friend.

to it that she loses at least two pounds so she can clean herself better. She weighs in at 12.3 lb. Remember for all cats: “Food is not love.” Indoor cats need a lot less than the instructions on cat food bags indicate. She also needs help to keep her bowels going with the aid of a high fibre food diet and regular hairball paste. Her foster parents tell us she loves to chase a laser light. They make her run up and down the stairs to exercise. Two six to eight-minute sessions a day before offering her food will do to help her regain her normal waistline. She loves a good belly massage and she loves snoozing in a sunny location. Daisy is a chatterer and very independent. She’s about eight-yearsold and has a lot of life left in her with the right care. Please call the shelter if you wish to meet her. She’s Rod grey and white with semi-long hair Hello there, Rod here. When that needs regular brushing to avoid I came to LAWS on a hot day in matting.

Because she’s a strong girl (although not as imposing as a boxer) who loves to romp and jump, she is best for older children. When Bambi arrived at the shelter with a skin condition, a visit to

Daisy Please meet our sweet Daisy. She’s very special to us and was adopted several times. Unfortunately her previous owners all passed away or were not able to continue to take good care of her. It is always sad to see a cat being returned several times over a two-year period for unforeseen reasons. Daisy is now in foster care and is enjoying her time with her new foster parents and two other cats. What Daisy needs is somebody who’ll see

He’s a good boy to have around and will amuse you with his comical way of playing, running and climbing onto things. He’s full of life, that’s for sure, maybe even a bit rambunctious, but hey, that’s what all kittens are anyway. He will keep you going, but better, he will put a smile on your face, every day, guaranteed. Please come and meet this jolly guy, he’s worth the trip! Thank you for your continued support.

Comedy, thrills, historic walks for 2015 Classic Theatre Festival’s season
R0013047661_1211
Arts – The Classic Theatre Festival has big plans for an expanded assortment of entertainment activities in the summer of 2015, featuring some of Canada’s top theatrical talent while providing a forum for young local talent interested in training opportunities with a professional company. The festival’s traditional Holiday Season Sale is now offering major discounts to early bird buyers who order tickets before Dec. 31. The festival continues to grow by producing hits from the golden age of Broadway and the London Stage, including the winning formula of presenting a romantic comedy with a classic thriller, while providing tourists and regional residents alike with many excellent reasons to extend their stay and stimulate the local economy. An Ontario Tourism Ministry report found that the 2014 festival season produced over half a million dollars in economic spinoffs for local shops, restaurants, and accommodations. The 2015 mainstage season – returning to the lovely Perth venue at 54 Beckwith Street East (the Good Shepherd Hall of St. James Anglican) – will open with Neil Simon’s comedy, Barefoot in the Park, the 10th-longest running non-musical play in Broadway history. The story of a pair of unique newlyweds – he a button-down conservative lawyer and she a free spirit – is bolstered by an eccentric neighbor, an interfering mother and classic New York characters, all of whom ride this comic romp while finding that love can conquer any differences. The show will run July 10 to Aug. 2. The second show is the gripping Frederick Knott thriller Wait Until Dark (running Aug.
talented young thespians. Both shows will run eight times a week, with five 2 p.m. matinees running Wednesday to Sunday and 8 p.m. evening shows every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Returning in 2015 will be the hugely popular Perth through the Ages youth theatre training troupe, which thrilled visitors last summer with a theatrical historic walking tour featuring tales and characters out of Perth’s storied past. Running five mornings a week at 11
a.m. (Wednesday to Sunday), this year will feature brandnew characters, themes, and stories. Starting at Matheson House Museum, the walking tour will appeal especially to families looking for something to do with their kids and grandkids during the summer holidays. New this year, the youth troupe will be introducing The Lonely Ghosts Walk each Friday night at 8 p.m. during the summer, starting at the festival’s mainstage site and tour-
ing some of the town’s most fabled haunted settings, with costumed characters enacting scenes from the town’s 200year ghostly history. To take advantage of the Holiday Season Sale, simply visit classictheatre.ca or call toll-free at 1-877-283-1283. Order by Dec. 31 and receive a 20 per cent discount off any season ticket (including either of the walking tours). You can pick your dates later. Submitted by the Classic Theatre Festival.

Arts – If you’re going to take a TV show to the big screen you had better be prepared to raise the stakes somehow. You can’t just do another episode, and make it an hour-and-a-half long. Corner Gas: The Movie definitely raises the stakes. This time in the town where nothing really happens something is really happening. Dog River is bankrupt. The power is off and the water pump is broken. To top it off a huge donut and coffee chain is looking to buy the whole town so they can bulldoze it, and set up a distribution centre. If something isn’t done Dog River could be gone forever. Lacey (Gabrielle Miller) has a plan. She wants to enter Dog River in Canada’s Quaintest Town Contest. First prize is $75,000 which is just enough to save the town. All they have to do is make Dog River quaint. From here the usual misadventures ensue. Brent (Brent Butt) does his part to save the town by buying the bar. Wanda (Nancy Robertson) starts her own bar in
My Take
Mark haskins
Davis’ man cave. Davis (Lorne Cardinal) is forced into retirement, and becomes a private investigator. A pregnant officer Karen (Tara Spencer-Nairn) is handing out tickets like it’s going out of style. Oscar (Eric Peterson) is honing his survival skills for the coming apocalypse. Emma (Janet Wright) is plotting to get grandkids, and Hank (Fred Ewanuick) is making plots of his own to save Dog River. Corner Gas: The Movie is everything the original television show is but bigger, better and funnier. After five years I wasn’t sure they could still pull this off, but it was like they’d never left our favourite Saskatchewan town. They have the
celebrity cameos, the characters’ crazy antics, the quick lines and everything else we love about the show. Even better is the clever way they take it to the next level with a real problem instead of something imagined by Hank. It’s the difference between being just another episode and making Corner Gas a feature film. This cast is truly something special. Even after five years apart they don’t miss a beat. Their timing, their delivery, their ability to play off each other is magic. Everyone of them had me laughing out loud at one point or another. They’re brilliant and I sincerely hope this is not the last time I get to see them work together. Corner Gas: The Movie is funny from beginning to end. It’s a shame it was only in theatres for five days because it looked amazing on the big screen. Still, if you missed it in theatres you have to see it when CTV broadcasts it on Dec. 17. I know I’ll be watching it again. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature.

scary, especially at highway speeds, when vehicles rush up behind to see what kind of car it is. This car is a great cruiser on two-lane highways at 70-80 mph (400 series too fast at 80-90 mph) but you have to work the gears off the line in the city. “The only people who recognize the P1800s are white-haired guys like me, and the under-six crowd who have seen the Disney ‘Cars’ movies, the second of which had a P1800 coupe character sporting a moustache. These young future car nuts while on outings with their teachers will immediately stop and point excitedly as I slow down to appreciate their attention. “Most people are surprised to learn that this car was produced by Volvo, and further surprised to hear it came with 4-wheel disc brakes, computerized fuel injection, a dual braking system, collapsible steering wheel, and 3-point seat belts.

The proposed Aquatic Invasive Species Regulations are a positive step forward and we are looking forward to seeing how they can be used to better manage aquatic invasive species across Canada.” The proposed Aquatic Invasive Species Regulations was published Dec. 6 in the Canada Gazette, Part I, for a 30-day public comment period.

The proposed Aquatic Invasive Species Regulations would provide a national regulatory framework to help prevent intentional and unintentional introductions of aquatic invasive species in Canada from other countries, across provincial and territorial borders, and between ecosystems within a region.

Lifestyle – Volvo began building cars in Sweden in 1927. A sleek sport coupe (P1800) went into production in 1961, followed later by a 2+2 version (P1800ES), which prompted a recent email from Jim Dignan of Mississauga, Ontario: “Hi Bill. I was a university student when the 1972 Volvo P1800ES came out, and I vowed to own one after graduation. I finally purchased mine in 2008 from the second caretaker, who restored it in 1989. He drove it a thousand miles a year for 19 years, mostly to play golf. He had to give it up when the manual steering became too much to handle, and got into a Porsche with power steering. “My classic Volvo was purchased new by Dr. Porter in Willowdale for close to the price of a Jaguar XKE. As the third caretaker, I replaced all suspension components and installed window tint for privacy and a cool cabin. I drive it every day to work, weather permitting. It is sometimes

A room to remember in new Bob Rintoul hall at Carleton Place arena Desmond Devoy
intrigued, and a little puzzled. “I thought I was the only one on council who didn’t know him.” It turned out that Rintoul was so humble, that only Coun. Jerry Flynn knew of him and his work. Antonakos wanted to sign on right away, but council had to rein in their wish to commemorate Rintoul because of the lack of a naming policy. “In my business, policy means everything,” said Antonakos. In fact, Joanne Henderson, the town’s manager of recreation and culture, “insisted that it not be done off the cuff, as

News – The man who helped make the second ice surface at the Carleton Place arena a reality has now literally become a part of it. The upper hall overlooking the second ice surface was dedicated in the memory of the late Bob Rintoul this past Sunday, Dec. 7, as family, friends and dignitaries gathered for a tearful, albeit joyful, unveiling. “This is a good day,” said host Bruce Guthrie simply, adding that it was his firm hope that the room would become “a place of pride and reflection,” and that, “this hall will take on a whole new meaning for many…(becoming) our place of remembrance.” While Rintoul’s good nature was being celebrated, Guthrie noted that at least some of it was thanks to behaviour passed down through the good family name. “Our town is a much better place today because of the imprint left by the Rintoul family,” said Guthrie. The Rintoul family used to have a dairy farm on the edge of town, and they began the first door-to-door milk delivery service. “It is a well-respected family with deep roots in our community.” Like the children’s cartoon character Bob the Builder, Guthrie joked that “Bob was indeed a builder,” but that while he had a good work ethic, “he always had a plan. He knew where he was going.” After his death in 2013, Frank Mills, amongst his many friends, was heard to say that “we must do something
happens sometimes in politics.” Speaking of Rintoul and his legacy, Antonakos called him “a giant,” and that the room re-naming would “serve his great name and legacy in our community.” Deputy mayor Jerry Flynn “knew Bob very well,” as both men had been members of the Carleton Place Curling Club, Rintoul’s 10 years on the town’s parks and recreation committee, and through amateur sports. “The (January) presentation was as good as any we had ever seen,” said Flynn.

Cathy and Jamie Rintoul unveil the plaque to their late husband and father, respectively, which had been covered up by Bob’s old baseball jersey, at the Carleton Place arena on Dec. 7. in honour of Bob.” So, this past January, a delegation appeared before Carleton Place town council, so that “they too would see the value,” of commemorating Rintoul and his legacy, and that this meant “doing the right thing for the community,” said Guthrie. However, it turned out to be easier said than done. It turned out that the town had no naming policy – but, even in death, Rintoul was able to blaze a trail for others to follow, and once the policy was hammered out in the months
to come, a policy was born that saw to it that namings were to be based on “merit” and that there had to be “transparency” in the process. “They got it right,” said Guthrie. One of the people who “got it right,” was mayor Louis Antonakos, who, attending his first official function as first citizen, remembered that evening back in January when the idea was first floated. Desmond Devoy/METROLAND “I said, ‘We need to do this,’” he said. As he listened to a description of the Bruce Guthrie hosted the Sunday afternoon dedication of the Bob man that Rintoul was, Antonakos was Rintoul room.

The Citizen of the Year designation is presented in recognition of the invaluable contributions made by a person who generously donates their time and talents to serve the Carleton Place community in a volunteer capacity. “Someone who gives to the community solely for the satisfaction of generating the spirit of good will,” Vines said. As the outgoing Citizen of the Year, White thoroughly enjoyed his time and thankd everyone who made it possible. Highlights of the year included participating in Canada Day activities at Riverside Park and riding in the Santa Claus Parade. “I was honoured,” White said.

“I have no idea what to do with it, but I’m sure there are 40 others out there who will tell me,” she said with a laugh. Unsure how she was chosen, Ferguson joked, “Pattie (Black) and my mother were my biggest fans and they are both gone. I didn’t think I had any (more).” Getting serious, Ferguson said: “I think of all the people who have won this award. I think of the things they have done and how impressive they have been. They have made this town incredible. I can’t believe I am in their company.” She stressed culture in Carleton Place must be nurtured. Regarding the Mudds, Ferguson said the group has been home to a lot of people over the years, “a lot of troubled people.” “We gave them a place and we will continue to do that,” she added. The Stool Pigeons provided entertainment on Friday night and Leatherworks Catering provided dinner. Rev. David Andrew of St. James Anglican Church said Grace. “I won’t start with my usual joke,” he said. “Last year it was too risqué. I got my knuckles rapped by my wife.” In a touching moment, deputy mayor Jerry Flynn asked guests to raise their glass for a toast to the memory of the late Ed Sonnenburg, his predecessor. “Ed Sonnenburg made an eight-year contribution to Carleton Place at the local and county levels,” Flynn said, “and he made himself well known.” Flynn acknowledged the presence of Sonnenburg’s wife Evelyn and daughter Laura. Mayor Louis Antonakos introduced the other members of Carleton Place council: Flynn and councillors Doug Black, Brian Doucett, Theresa Fritz, Sean Redmond and Ross Trimble. A handful of other local dignitaries were in attendance, including Beckwith Reeve and Lanark County Warden Richard Kidd. Taking a moment, Antonakos recognized Jake and Peggy Gallipeau for coordinating the annual visit of Santa and Mrs. Claus to the community for 33 years. “Without a doubt, Carleton Place has the best Santa Claus parade in eastern Ontario,” he said. “Thirty-three years! Unbelievable!” Citizen of the Year The Citizen of the Year recognition award is dedicated to the memory of the late Eldon Henderson, a former Carleton Place mayor, as well as the members of Carleton Place council from 1973 to 1976. They initiated the award. “Eldon’s wife, Eleanor (Henderson), has done a fantastic job over the past 40 years of keeping records and updating the Citizen of the Year books,” 2012 recipient Ronette Vines said. “We thank her for recording this history.” The first Carleton Place Citizen of the Year in 1974 was the late David Findlay. In recognition of the award’s 40th anniversary, Vines asked all past winners in the room to stand and be recognized. All winners serve a three-year term on the Citizen of the Year committee. In 2015 Vines will become chair, taking over from 2011 recipient Debby Lytle.

Declaring, “We need to do this right,” the mayor called the town’s chief administrative officer (CAO) Paul Knowles to the front of the hall to help present the long service awards to staff. “And I’d also like to call former mayor Wendy LeBlanc up here to present as

Thank you.” Recipients were as follows: SharylAnne Andrews (five years), James Robertson (five years), Sheila McCulloch (five years), Ed Gibson (10 years), Heather Pollock (10 years), Paula Latendresse (10 years), Marty McKittrick (10 years), Mike Williams (10 years), Lisa Young (10 years), Angie Hastie (15 years), Tom Gallagher (15 years), Mac Powell (15 years), Bev Bowen (15 years), Brent Hurdis (20 years), Louise Mundt (20 years), Paul Knowles (25 years), Rick Orme (25 years) and Shirley Jones-Wellman (30 years). LeBlanc has known Carleton Place’s CAO for approximately 26 years. On Friday night she had “the privilege” of acknowledging Knowles’ 25 years of service to the municipality. Carleton Place is deeply respected, not just in the Ottawa Valley, Lanark County and eastern Ontario but the whole province, “and the credit has to go to Paul and the staff he has collected around him,” she said. LeBlanc called Knowles committed, dedicated and a deep thinker. Perfect attendance honours were also handed out during the evening.

Ontario,” he said. The new mayor also recognized former mayor Wendy LeBlanc for her dedication, hard work and efforts in making a positive difference to the town. “We didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but we both agreed moving Carleton Place forward is the priority,” Antonakos said, “and we all owe her a debt of gratitude.” The audience erupted into a round of applause.

News – The Almonte General Hospital (AGH)/Fairview Manor (FVM) family is still reeling after it was revealed Dec. 2 the foundation’s executive director, Gerry Huddleston, is facing charges of theft and forgery. Huddleston has been charged with one count of Theft Under $5,000 and Utter Forged Document contrary to the Criminal Code of Canada. AGH/FVM Foundation board chair Al Lunney released a statement to the community, staff, physicians and volunteers on the foundation’s website (www. almontehospitalfoundation.com) Dec. 3. In it, he noted the board was “advised of missing cash on Sept. 23, 2014.” Lunney said foundation board representatives took steps to mitigate the situation, meeting with representatives from the Almonte branch of the Bank of Montreal, informing the donor of the missing funds and reporting the loss to the OPP where the foundation “requested a full investigation.” The foundation also “committed to work with the foundation’s external auditors to review and make recommendations to
improve the foundation’s procedures for handling cash donations,” Lunney said. “Nothing is more important to the foundation board of directors than the trust our community places in us to be the responsible stewards of their donations,” he continued. “Please be assured that the foundation board of directors is fully aware of the situation and is taking every possible step to ensure that the interests of our donations and the foundation are protected.” Referring to the issue as an “ongoing OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) investigation,” Lunney stressed “the foundation board of directors is not in a position to provide any further comment at this time.” However, Lanark County OPP Constable Sean Trahan confirmed to the Canadian Gazette on Dec. 3, “the OPP’s investigation is complete” and there are no further charges pending. “He (Huddleston) was served a summons yesterday morning by an officer from the Lanark County Crime Unit,” he stated. Trahan said the OPP were contacted by the foundation on Oct. 2, but he couldn’t confirm who the individual was. In regards to the forged docu-
ment, Trahan said he “can’t get into the details because that’s evidence that pertains to the case.” The 57-year-old Huddleston, who has been the head of the foundation for nearly eight years, is well known throughout Lanark County, having also served as executive director of the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation for 11 years, specializing in fundraising and communications. He was a former Smiths Falls town councillor for three terms and was also employed
with Lanark-Renfrew MPP Leo Jordan and Lanark-Carleton MP Paul Dick. The foundation has already taken steps to distance themselves from Huddleston. On Dec. 2, when the charges were announced, Huddleston’s name remained on the foundation website as a contact. The next day, Dec. 3, he was no longer listed. Huddleston is due to appear in Perth Provincial Court on Dec. 29. With files from Tara Gesner.

New Mississippi Mills mayor says collaboration is key in inaugural address Queen Elizabeth II. In it they solemnly promised to “truly, faithfully and impartially do the best of (their) ability to exercise the office (they) have been elected.” The clerk then turned over to mayor McLaughlin to a large and long round of applause. “This is marvelous,” said McLaughlin. Trudy Hardy from Grace Anglican Church in Clayton, then read a blessing from Romans chapter 12, which she said was all about love.

News – It’s official. The new Town of Mississippi Mills council was sworn in on Dec. 2, in front of a full house in the town council chambers. The mayor and council were elected on Oct. 27 and will be representing the town for the next four years. The council is made up of mayor Shaun McLaughlin, Almonte ward councillors Bernard Cameron, Alex Gillis, Jill McCubbin and Jane Torrance; Ramsay ward councillors John Edwards, Christa Lowry, Paul Watters and Val Wilkinson; and Pakenham ward councillors Duncan Abbott and Denzil Ferguson. McLaughlin compared the excitement of becoming mayor to leading up to a significant birthday. “You finally get up to it and you feel ‘Hey, it’s great and I’m happy,’” McLaughlin told the Canadian Gazette. “I’ve already hit the ground running. I have talked to everyone on council, the department heads and had a few other meetings. I am excited about starting the process of seeing where we can go.” During his inaugural address, McLaughlin showed off his new custommade belt by Al Barratt of Pakenham. “A new mayor, a new belt,” he said proudly. In his speech he called the new

McLaughlin said he was going to experiment with methods of working effectively together; including council brainstorming sessions and a new concept of councillor portfolios so members can harness their interests and passions. He also hopes to engage more residents in community outreach and is planning his first town hall meeting
early in the spring. He borrowed a quote from Ottawa mayor Jim Watson who said “Collaboration is not a luxury for us, it is a duty which residents bestow on us.” McLaughlin added: “Over the last four years, I have learned that many of the best ideas do not come from town hall. They come from you. Collaboration is key to making our town better and stronger.” He finished by encouraging residents

to be informed. “Get involved. Keep up with local news and issues. This council will be at its best if you are giving your best,” said McLaughlin. “Help us plan the town we all want to live in.” Swearing in The meeting was opened by town clerk Julie Oram who had the new council read a declaration of elected office and an oath of allegiance to
County council The only major item on the agenda was the election of a councillor to sit on Lanark County council. The mayor automatically goes to county council and a second person is elected. Abbott nominated Watters, who allowed his name to stand and Gillis nominated Torrance, who also allowed her name to stand. Each was then given three minutes as to explain why their fellow councillors should vote for them. Watters handed out a resume of his qualifications around the council table and admitted there would be a learning curve. He wanted to serve to work on social services issues and as an ex-Bell Canada employee, he also hoped to take a lead on the 9-1-1 system issues in the See NEW page A/CP11

Carleton Place OPP lays down Salvation Army Christmas Kettle challenge Tara Gesner
tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – The Carleton Place detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is throwing down the gauntlet and challenging other local law enforcement agencies to raise as much money as possible in one day of manning a Salvation Army Christmas kettle. “The winning agency receives the Salvation Army’s Bell Ringer trophy,” Melba Jarvis said. For the last seven years Jarvis has served as the Almonte-Carleton Place Christmas Kettle Campaign co-ordinator. With an ambitious goal of $180,000, the Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corps of the Salvation Army kicked off its 2014 Christmas Kettle Campaign on Nov. 14. OPP Sgt. Rob Croth and his fellow officers in Carleton are confident they will get the historic three-peat, having won the challenge the previous two years. “We are looking to have a third entry on the trophy,” he said with a smile.

The Carleton Place detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) showed off the coveted Salvation Army Bell Ringer trophy on Tuesday, Dec. 9. For the last two years Carleton Place has been home to the trophy, raising the most money as possible in one day of manning a Salvation Army Christmas kettle. Carleton Place officers will be ringing bells at the local Walmart all day on Dec. 18. Pictured, from left: administrative assistant Catherine O’Reilly, Const.

Carleton Place is challenging Smiths Falls Police, Lanark County OPP and officers at the Eastern Regional Headquarters. “Next year we are adding area fire fighters and paramedics to the challenge,” Croth said. “I am so proud of the dedication and enthusiasm shown by all of the volunteers who man the kettles,” Jarvis said. “I thank them for making a difference in the lives of others.” The Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corps of the Salvation Army helps local people in need 365 days a year, but owing to the Christmas Kettle Campaign, the holidays are always made a little brighter for some by way of food hampers and toys.

No matter who takes home the Bell Ringer trophy in 2014, “let’s make the Mississippi-Rideau Lakes Corps of the Salvation Army the big winner this year,” Jarvis said.

COLUMN
Columns of Christmases past Opinion – It’s late Monday night, Dec. 8, and I have no idea what I’m going to write about in this week’s column. With nothing really inspiring me, I’ve decided to look back through the years to see what I was writing about at this time. In 2009 my December column was called The Gift. The year was 1974 and it was the day before Christmas. My mother’s friend, our next-door neighbour, had just stopped by with a present for me. I was a very excited five-year-old. After all, I knew what was inside the small box branded with my name. It was the purse I requested. Wrong! Owing to a gift mix up, I opened a bottle of Hai Karate cologne. It took a few days, but I eventually got the purse. In 2010 I wrote about being a monarchist and my excitement over the engagement of Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton. Although, William, the oldest son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, proposed to Kate in October on a private trip to Kenya, the news of their engagement became public subsequent to a statement by Clarence House (the prince’s official residence) on Nov. 16. There is something incredibly special and magical, something that words can’t quite explain, about a king or queen – or prince and princess…something a prime minister or president can never offer. Political correctness killing Christmas was the theme of my December 2011 column. It was just after Cambridge Public School in Embrun cancelled its Christmas concert, opting instead for a holiday-themed craft night. To me, Christmas is Christmas. I really didn’t think the recital needed to be cancelled. Perhaps the agenda could’ve been expanded to include a few other traditions. I think I also mockingly changed the lyrics to a few holiday classics: Have Yourself a Merry Little Day of Winter, Frosty the Snowperson and Blue Holiday.
TARA GESNER Tara Firma In 2012 I wrote about the dispute between the Ontario government and the public elementary and secondary teachers. At the time, teachers with the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) began withdrawing from extracurricular activities. Too, the teachers who make up the Elementary Teacher’s Federation of Ontario (ETFO) commenced rotating one-day strikes. All of this was being done to protest Bill 115. Although there had been a few comments from the public supportive of teachers, there had been many more that were just plain hateful. Numerous media outlets and current and former members of the Ontario government had also been providing opinions and information that was decidedly one-sided. I wanted to point out there were two sides to every issue. Last year it was all about safe holiday tips. At the time the Ontario Fire Marshal’s office still had not determined the cause of two recent fires, however both were fatal, claiming a total of five lives. The Ocean Wave Fire Company in Carleton Place was urging all residents to take action to stop house fires and avoid the deaths, injuries and trauma they cause. For example, real Christmas trees should be freshly cut and placed in a stand capable of holding plenty of water, and the water should be checked daily. Trees, gifts, wrapping paper and decorations should always be placed away from heat sources. Electrical outlets should never be overloaded and cords should not be threaded under carpet or furniture. Because this is my final column before the holidays I want to wish you all the merriest Christmas and happy new year. If you have any comments or questions for Tara Gesner, she can be reached by email at: tgesner@ perfprint.ca.

Community – Youngsters enjoyed hitching a ride on the Knights of Columbus float, reminding everyone of the real reason for the season during the annual Almonte Santa Claus Parade Dec. 7. It was a chilly evening, but a great opportunity to take in some brightly-lit and spirited floats.

and decorated horses. All the participants were very enthusiastic wishing everyone a “Merry Christmas.” It was obvious a lot of effort, time and talent went into the many colourfully decorated and lit floats. The only suggestion we have is not to put a tractor-trailer (honking the horn) directly behind a musical float, singer, or band. It took away from being able to enjoy the music. We look forward to next year’s parade. Shirley and Lou Jaroli Bishops Mills
Congratulations went to Flynn, Black, Doucett, Fritz, Redmond and Trimble on their election victory. “When you made the decision to put forward your name to serve your community you did so knowing there would be many demands on your time and many challenges and issues to address,” Antonakos said. “This job takes a lot of time and it’s a lot of effort, but the rewards are many.” With compassion, commitment and integrity he promised to honour the trust given to council by the community. “We’ve been given the responsibility of governing this wonderful town and its citizens,” Antonakos said. “They have placed their trust in our ability to make sound decisions, nurture new ideas and develop a vision for a sustainable, progressive town.” Like other municipalities, Carleton Place faces challenges ahead; however, “the people in this room and all of our dedicated and professional staff have the ability, the resolve to do what’s necessary to meet these challenges head on – now and into the future,” the mayor said. Following the declaration of office, former Coun. Gerald Kirby led the group in the singing of O Canada. Official photographs (Charles Ebbs Photography) and a reception with light refreshments (Leatherworks Catering) came next. Carleton Place’s new council commits to serving the community over the next four years, 20142018. The group’s second council meeting took place on Dec. 9, as well as the first policy review committee gathering.
First term Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos delivers his inaugural address Dec. 2 at the town hall auditorium.

rural area. Torrance started by saying that after Watters’ speech she almost wanted to vote for him. She continued by reminding her council colleagues that she has seven years experience as a municipal councillor and has eight years working at the county level. As she works for the Lanark County Planning Council for Children and Youth Families, she is familiar with county staff. One idea she had for the county level was to start a county-wide shuttle service that would run four times a day. Torrance also wanted to ensure a balance of urban and rural representation at the county level and to bring the voice of Mississippi Mills to the table. In a recorded vote, Torrance was elected. In favour were: McCubbin, Torrance, Wilkinson, Lowry, Edwards and Gillis. After the meeting, Torrance said she was very excited to be elected to county council. “To be going to county council has been a bit of a dream for me. I think there are things you can work (on) at the county that you can’t work on at the municipal level,” said Torrance. “I love being a town councillor but I think I will also love being a county councillor.”

Lanark County Food Bank needs are up 20 per cent over last year akulp@perfprint.ca
Community – The holidays are supposed to be a joyous time, but the season can be anything but for local families struggling to make ends meet. Organizations such as the Lanark County Food Bank (LCFB) are there to help, providing food families need to feed their loved ones throughout the areas of Beckwith, Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills, Ashton, Innisville and White Lake. According to manager Karin Nakamura, food bank use is up 20 per cent over last year. “We haven’t had a slow day since September and (usage) has gone up 10 per cent alone since June,” she commented, noting that the LCFB serves, on average, 250 families each month. One-third of that number are “singles but we also have a family of 10, a family of eight and several families of seven. “This last month we helped 257. That’s a lot,” Nakamura continued. That’s where community support is all the more impor-
tant, such as the generosity of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 5678. The union, which represents all support staff within the Upper Canada District School Board, presented a $500 donation to the LCFB at its location on Allan Street in Carleton Place Monday, Dec. 8. Carole Airhart, Local 5678 education vice president, indicated that each year around Christmas and Easter, the union makes donations to three food banks in the geographic area they serve. “It’s part of our community outreach. We serve kids and lots of our kids are eating from this food bank so (the donation) indirectly benefits clients we serve,” she explained. “The little ones who don’t have breakfast or lunch...that lunch they don’t have could be because they don’t have any food at home to make it. Everything comes back around.” “This is fantastic and will help us out a lot,” Nakamura said of the donation. “...This is why I love my job. It really is all about generosity and kindness.” Local 5678 representatives
and apples are welcome. “Our fridge space is limited, so I don’t want to take in more than we can give out within a few days. We really benefitted from the generosity of gardeners this summer,” Nakamura said. Items from mayonnaise, instant coffee and shampoo are needed, but on the LCFB’s wish list at the Ashley Kulp/METROLAND moment are jugs of juice,
The Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 5678 made a $500 donation to the Lanark County Food Bank (LCFB) Dec. 8. From left: LCFB board secretary Maurine Adair and board member Paul Chamberlain, LCFB manager Karin Nakamura, Local 5678 communicator Shawn Dowdall and Local 5678 education vice president, Carole Airhart. were taken on a tour of the food bank facility by Nakamura, who explained that the location is split into different areas and all of the inventory is tagged in order to ensure the items with closer expiration dates are used first. There is a place for all food items and large freezers and fridges in the stockroom house perishable items the LCFB receives and purchases. Nakamura pointed out that the food bank is fortunate to have warehouse space nearby to store overflow food. She stated the food bank regularly receives 200 to 300 pounds of donations each week on top of what they have in the warehouse, including diapers, formula and animal food.
canned meals such as stew, Alpha Getti and ravioli, oatmeal (especially family sized bags), canned meats, peanut butter and jam. To make a donation or for more information, call the Lanark County Food Bank at 613-257-8546 or visit www. lanarkcountyfoodbank.ca. The food bank is located at 5 Allan St. in Carleton Place.
R0013042061
“With the recent Build a Mountain of Food blitz, school and community donations and the Santa Claus parade collection, our warehouse is in really good shape. It’s the best I’ve seen it in a while,” Nakamura remarked. However, that doesn’t mean the need for donations stops there. “It’s critical for us (to be well-stocked) because that’s going to take us through to spring.” Local restaurants and businesses in Carleton Place and Almonte have been generous, particularly the grocery stores, Nakamura noted. What the LCFB receives less of during the winter months is perishable produce and produce that has a longer shelf life, such as potatoes, carrots, onions

Eat breakfast with Santa this Sunday Tara Gesner

Community – The Carambeck Christmas Craft Show was held, where else, at the Carambeck Community Centre on Saturday, Dec. 6, a chance for people to put off procrastinating and get shopping – and, best of all, to do it locally, too! The halls were decked with more than just holly, and a lot of the floor space in the old public school gym were filled with vendors touting their various wares. Below: Softer Christmas tree ornaments you’ve never seen, hung here with loving care by Kinburn’s own Jessica Steckley.
Community – The cast of the uber-juggernaut of a kids movie, Disney’s Frozen, made a side trip from the mythical Nordic kingdom of Arendelle, via Hollywood, to visit children for a photo call in the Carleton Place council chambers at town hall recently. From left, Queen Elsa, Minnie Mouse, Olaf the Snowman, and Princess Anna.
Community – Come have breakfast with Santa for a good cause! Join the jolly old elf and his helpers at the Tap House Grill & Sports Bar in Carleton Place on Sunday, Dec. 14, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., and 20 per cent of every breakfast purchased will go to the Lanark County Food Bank (LCFB). “It’s exciting for the kids,” restaurant coowner Andrea McCullough said, “and it’s good for the community.” The LCFB, a branch of the Ontario Association of Food Banks, offers food hampers for those in need. McCullough together with Tanyia Alward purchased Buster’s Bar & Grill in November 2013, switching it over to Tap House Grill & Sports Bar this past July. “We’ve been so busy since we started,” McCullough said. “We’ve been trying to get our feet on the ground.” With a desire to get more involved in the community and with Christmas just around the corner, she added the idea for the breakfast with Santa was born. “This is such a great way to give back,” McCullough continued, “and we have
such a big location.” The owners met with LCFB office manager Karin Nakamura and one other representative to discuss the event details. Nakamura explained that the food bank doesn’t receive any government funding and purchases $2,000 to $2,500 of perishables each month to support local families. “The only way we can do this is through donations,” she said. “The Tap House has been very generous to support us through this event.” In addition to Santa Claus there will be elves in attendance, a Christmas tree, holiday music and activities for kids. The Tap House Grill & Sports Bar breakfast menu offers something for everyone: omelettes, pancakes, French toast, waffles, eggs and bacon and more. Even though the restaurant has a seating capacity of 192, reservations are recommended for Dec. 14. To save a table, call 613-257-8181. “Come out for breakfast and give back,” McCullough said. “Support the food bank because everybody has to have a full belly at Christmas.” “It’s going to be a fun day and it’s a wonderful way to build up to Christmas and at the same time, support the community,” Nakamura stated.

Almonte Legion family mourns loss of longtime member – Joe LeBlanc Community – Legion Branch 240 is in mourning, following the death of longtime member and past president, Joe LeBlanc, Dec. 1. Originally from Nova Scotia, LeBlanc joined the Canadian Army Signal Corps in 1956, the first step in a career that would span 39 years and see service in seven countries. While stationed at the Diefenbunker in Carp from 1961 to 1964, he met his future wife Lorraine and they married in 1965. Towards the end of his long career, he was commissioned and retired with the rank of captain. He joined the Legion in 1962 and again in 1980, when he returned to the Almonte area. He was Almonte branch president from 1996 to 2002 and was Zone G6 commander for four years, overseeing the operations of eight branches. He went on to become deputy com-
mander of District G, an area taking in 63 branches and served as deputy chairman until August 2014. LeBlanc was awarded a life membership in 2002 and the prestigious Meritorious Service Medal in 2007, the Legion’s highest honour. In 2014, he was awarded the Palm Leaf to the Meritorious Service Medal, recognizing his continued outstanding service to the Legion and his community. Almonte Legion president Rob Madore said that “Joe’s passing is a huge loss for the branch and, coming on the heels of the death of president Gerry Schroeder in November, it is a double whammy.” Former president John Souter described LeBlanc as “An inspiring leader who has influenced Legion members across eastern Ontario and who had input at the highest levels of the Legion.”
More than 200 mourners braved the cold on Friday, Dec. 5 to attend the gravesite service at St. Mary’s cemetery outside Almonte. Many were from Legion branches in the region and one active serviceman
drove 10 hours from New Brunswick to attend. “That shows how much respect Joe LeBlanc generated,” added Souter. As a senior member of the lo-
cal Legion, LeBlanc was often consulted by municipal council on how best to recognize veterans. Part of his legacy to the community is the Veterans Memorial Walkway in Almonte, which was devel-
oped in 2006 and the program of naming new streets in town after veterans who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

Civitan seeks support for festival tlepack@perfprint.ca
and other community organizations and charities. Coun. Denzil Ferguson told the committee he remembered the first Frost Festival 50 years ago and understands funding is different now. “Certainly we could come up with some sort of innovative funding for this and other groups,” he stated. Coun. Duncan Abbott noted the club had come up with a number of proposals to help. “I think there is some flexibility. Some money on this list can be saved,” said Abbott. The committee carried a motion for staff to compile a report with different partnership options to be discussed during the Dec. 9 Committee of the Whole meeting.

R0013009889_1120
News – The Pakenham and District Civitan Club is asking the Town of Mississippi Mills to partner with them for the annual Frost Festival, which takes place in the village at the end of January. Doris Rankin, president of the club, presented to Mississippi Mills Committee of the Whole on Tuesday, Nov. 25 and asked that the town view the Frost Festival as one event in order to capture a number of activities held over two weekends and some weeknights. Rankin told the committee that everyone in Pakenham has fond memories of the festival, which she says encourages healthy activities and acts as a fundraiser for the club. Last year they had 100 volunteers for a total of 500 community volunteer hours and the club is comprised of just 32 members. “It’s (Frost Festival) to embrace winter activities,” said Rankin. “Not all of them are sports but almost every winter activity is covered. As you can imagine it attracts seniors, young people and people from other communities.” The issue affecting the festival, she said, is the cost and the pricing structure of the Stewart Community Centre and upper hall. The club tries to plan around the community centre using church halls, Pakenham Public School and the curling club but Rankin noted these venues are not accessible, have no parking and aren’t large enough. “In the interest of ensuring that this event continues and remains strong after so many years, the Civitan club is requesting that Mississippi Mills partner with them as it does with other events that define Mississippi Mills,” said Rankin. She also said that volunteers would work with town staff to accommodate other scheduled events, bartending arrangements and help with set-up and clean up. “We are not asking not to be charged but we would like the town to look at it as one event,” said Rankin. “The Civi-
tan club does not see an overall reduction in rental costs from year to year, currently in the $750 range, however with this year’s schedule, the cost could double. [We] believe a partnership would allow for more flexibility in planning events for the overall festival rather than being concerned about cost recovery.” Coun. John Edwards asked about the club’s financial statements. He said the town needs to know the financial situation of the groups with which they partner. “I didn’t say we didn’t make money, this is our major fundraiser,” Rankin pointed out. The local club supports the local food bank, is a major sponsor of the Canadian Cancer Society’s local Relay for Life initiative, helps CHEO

Kintail Country Christmas Dec. 13 Mills announces winter programs Liam is the son of Almonte architect Peter Mansfield. Admission is $15 per vehicle. “So it doesn’t matter how many people you cram into your minivan,” Kolsters said with a laugh, “and everything else is free – except refreshments.” “Parents and grandparents can come with the kids and bring snacks and a Thermos of hot chocolate,” she added, “and then they don’t need to dig into their pockets for the rest of the day.” Situated along the Indian River, the Mill of Kintail is a conservation area, offering hiking trails, museum and seasonal schedule of special events. Although Kolsters called Kintail Country Christmas a lot of work, “it is always heartwarming walking around the site that day and seeing families enjoying themselves.” “Kintail Country Christmas isn’t a fundraiser,” she added. “It’s something we do for the good of the community, and we thank people who come year after year.” The Mill of Kintail is located at 2854 Ramsay Concession 8. “Spend time with your loved ones surrounded by the beauty of the conservation area,” Kolsters said.

Community – Add a new holiday tradition to your family’s Christmas celebration. Kintail Country Christmas returns to the historic Mill of Kintail in Almonte Saturday, Dec. 13, running 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event, hosted by Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, features something for everyone: photos with Santa Claus, live music, hot apple cider, Christmas crafts, baked goods, tractor and wagon rides, scavenger hunt, bonfire and more. “This is our seventh year,” museum curator Stephanie Kolsters said, “and it’s become a tradition for many.” Averaging 400 guests, people come from all over to attend Kintail Country Christmas: Lanark County, Ottawa Valley, Kanata, etc. “Last year the temperature was -30 C; however, we still managed to get 300 people,” Kolsters said. “Visitors come to the Mill of Kintail then head off to get their Christmas trees or have dinner in town,” she added. “It’s nice to think we’ve helped create traditions and memories for families.”
Activities There will be a Christmas Café at the gatehouse, offering chili, hot chocolate, baked goods, etc. The Mississippi Mills Music Society will also be performing. Kolsters said Kintail Country Christmas is truly a community event, receiving support from a handful of local groups: Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN), Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (MVTM), North Lanark Regional Museum (NLRM), Ramsay Women’s Institute (WI) and “many other wonderful volunteers.” Pictures with Santa Claus and stories by the fire will take place inside the museum. Each family receives a free photograph. Representatives from the MVFN and MVTM will be at the education centre. “People from the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists typically do a craft and host an outside scavenger hunt,” Kolsters said, “and the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum also does a craft.” Members of the WI bake the items available for sale inside the Christmas Café. The museum’s curator said the NLRM would host gift making, “and Liam Mansfield will be playing music.”

Canadians handed sixth loss of season from Cornwall Colts Staff
Sports – The Carleton Place Canadians split their games over the weekend, first suffering a 2-1 loss at home against the Cornwall Colts Friday, Dec. 5. Sunday afternoon they redeemed themselves with a 4-1 win over the Hawkesbury Hawks in front of a hometown crowd. With their sixth loss, the Canadians still retain top spot in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) Robinson division and remain league leaders with 63 points. The Ottawa Jr. Senators are closing in on first in the league with 57 points. Sunday’s game started off slow with little action in the first period until the Canadians’ Jordan Larson netted a power play goal from Craig Pefley and Stephen Baylis at 17:56. The second period unfolded much like the first with no scoring until 17:52 when Baylis added an unassisted short handed effort. With a 2-0 lead at the start of the third period, Carleton Place’s Adam Lloyd gave the Canadians their third goal of the game, assisted by Andrew Dodson and Wesley Baker, at 14:53. Hawkesbury would capitalize on a power play goal at 17:18, but couldn’t

Colts. It proved to be just that. Carleton Place drew first blood in the first period when Bryce VanHorn capitalized on a power play opportunity at 5:58. His goal was assisted by Wesley Baker and Adam Lloyd. Heading into the second up 1-0, the score would remain the same until Tristen Elie of the Colts tied things up at 12:53. His teammate Tanner Spink would get a goal to inch the Colts ahead at 18:18 of the second. Tempers flared in the third with Canadians captain Stephen Baylis receiving a five-minute major and game misconduct for fighting with Cornwall’s Cal Hofford. The team was unable to channel that intensity into another goal and the final 20 minutes remained scoreless. Cornwall handed the Carleton Place its sixth loss of the season. Shots were 27-21 in favour of Carleton Place in the game.

Thunder handed another loss from Stittsville, re-group for two games this week Ashley Kulp
akulp@perfprint.ca
Sports – The Almonte Thunder had another tough loss on Sunday afternoon against the Stittsville Rams, but head coach/ general manager Bill White is pleased with his team’s play. The Jr. B hockey club fell 7-5 to the Rams on the road in Stittsville. They currently sit in fifth place in the Valley division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (EOJHL) with 13 points (six wins and 15 losses). White said the Thunder are struggling, but put forth a better effort in the Dec. 7 game. “It was a tough game for sure,” White told the Canadian Gazette Monday. “We were down 2-0 in the first two minutes (of the game). It wasn’t the start we wanted, but I thought we re-grouped well and battled hard. They’re (Stittsville) a good team.”
“We just weren’t playing good enough to win,” he added. The first period was all Stittsville and as White alluded, the Rams got on the scoreboard first, 11 seconds in and followed up with a second goal at 1:49 of the period. They would add two more power play efforts at 9:02 and 19:42 to head into the second up 4-0. The Rams notched a fifth goal at 2:38 of the second before Alex Szabo netted the first goal of the game for the Thunder at 4:09, assisted by Blair Barr and Ben Wade. Wade added his own at 16:01, from Barr, to bring the score to 5-2. Stittsville’s Chris Galea scored to end the period with the Rams leading 6-2. Stittsville’s seventh goal came from Troy Hass at 2:53 of the third period and then the Thunder turned on the heat, dominating the rest of the final frame. An unassisted goal from Barr came at 6:25, followed by
two from Garrett Nichol, the first, a power play effort, assisted by Wade and Brandon Mendham at 14:21; and the second from Barr and Jacob Cuffley at 18:01. It wasn’t enough and the game ended with Stittsville taking the 7-5 win. White said Barr’s goal and three assists and two from Nichol made the duo a standout in the game. “They both played very well, but for Garrett, it was one of his best games of the year,” he stated. The Thunder outshot the Rams slightly, 37-36 and Matthew Dods was handed the loss in nets.
their weekend games. “We need to compete hard, play hard, stick to the game plan and hopefully get a few bounces and have some better luck,” he commented. “We need to simplify things now and just play the game.” First up are the Valley division leading Renfrew Timberwolves Friday, Dec. 12. The Thunder will travel to Renfrew to take them on at 8 p.m. “We already won a game in
Renfrew earlier this year and it doesn’t matter who we play, we should play the same way and have confidence in our game,” White stressed. “...Our strategy doesn’t change for anybody.” He admitted the Valley division is very strong this year. “The teams are very good and to be as good as they are, we have to get more structured and play a full 60-minutes...no one is ever an easy opponent,” White said.
Upcoming games With players still out with injuries, “we’re banged up pretty good,” White said the strategy for this week is for the Thunder to get out and play a full 60-minutes of hockey in both of
The next evening, they take on local rivals the Perth Blue Wings at home. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Earlier in the day at 1 p.m., the Valley and St. Lawrence divisions will tussle with each other in the EOJHL Prospect Game at the Nick Smith Centre in Arnprior. Thunder goalie Matthew Dods, defenceman Jacob Cuffley, forwards Quinn Gordon and Mike Hauschild and alternate Jacob Ramalho will play in the game.
On November 10th, 2004 Steve’s Independent Grocer opened to the public here in Carleton Place. For the past ten years our family has been a part of the community and has endeavoured to operate our business in a manner that has helped to support our community. In turn we have been fortunate to have received tremendous support from our customers. The spirit of this community is so impressive and we experienced it day after day with all of the charitable organizations, community service groups and volunteers that we had the pleasure of interacting with. After 32 years in the grocery business we have decided that it is time for us to pursue other interests and hopefully be able to spend more time with our families whom we have been away from for many years.

Carley takes fundraising reins at local Canadian Cancer Society branch Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
News – There is a new fundraising co-ordinator at the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society. Replacing Amanda Gifford is Anita Carley. She is no stranger to the society, or to fundraising or project management. A business administration graduate, the Merrickville woman parlayed her years of volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Smiths Falls into a fulltime gig in September. “I got involved with Relay for Life as an event day volunteer, and then last year I was on the Relay for Life Smiths Falls committee as team steward and fundraising coach,” she said. “I fell in love with Relay initially, I was a luminary volunteer and those moments pretty much made me fall in love with it.” She said she was able to learn a lot about the society through her volunteer work and was able to successfully apply for the position as fundraising coordinator for the chapter. She knew that Gifford had left the position in the Perth office to go to the SimcoeMuskoka office as volunteer engagement co-ordinator with the Canadian Cancer Society. When reached via email, Gifford said she enjoyed it in Perth. “I have thoroughly enjoyed my
Laurie Weir/METROLAND
Leanne Waddell and Anita Carley of the Canadian Cancer Society, Lanark Leeds and Grenville branch, roll out a new fundraising program called Pigs of Hope. The initiative is one to help alleviate costs for the Wheels of Hope program, which is the society’s transportation program. The piggy banks can be picked up by a sponsoring family at participating stores including Barnabe’s Independent Grocer in Perth, WalMart in Smiths Falls and WalMart in Brockville. time working for the Canadian Cancer Society in Perth. It has been a very rewarding experience, all thanks in part to the dedicated volunteers, event participants and event organizers,” she wrote. “I have no doubt that Anita will enjoy her new role as fundraising coordinator.” Leanne Waddell is the manager for the local cancer society chapter. She
said it is wonderful to have Carley on board. “She already had the experience that you have to spend the first month or two learning (once employed) so she was already ahead of game in that aspect,” Waddell said. “And she was involved with fundraising and with the daffodil sales. She already knew what to do…what our mission was and that really helped a lot.”
The society is 100 per cent donor funded, “so every dollar that comes in (is) really important,” Waddell said. Unit fundraising events, like Relay for Life, the daffodil sales, golf tournaments and even Neon Night, a new event in Kemptville earlier this year, are projects that Carley will now oversee. “We’re launching a new campaign
called ‘Pigs of Hope,’ and these little piggy banks will be available for purchase at Walmart in Smiths Falls, Brockville and in Perth at Barnabe’s Independent Grocer.” This is a campaign to help raise funds for the Wheels of Hope – the transportation program. Each piggy bank has a trip attached – like to CHEO for a checkup for a child with cancer, or to Kingston for a doctor’s appointment, or Ottawa for chemotherapy. The premise is for people to pick up piggy bank and fill it with change (or bills or cheques) that will help alleviate the cost of that particular trip. Pigs of Hope is an opportunity for families to get involved, “and they will adopt this little pig,” Carley explained, while showing a little plastic bank in blue or yellow. Each pig has a trip written on its side, so people can select which trip they want to sponsor. One trip from Perth to CHEO, for example is $44 for chemotherapy. If a family wishes to sponsor just one trip, that’s wonderful, but they also have the opportunity to help support that entire treatment, which on average, is a trip to Ottawa twice a week for seven weeks. Look for your chance to help support this program now, as piggy banks are in the area stores now. Provincially, $6 million is needed for transportation. For this region, Waddell didn’t have the exact figures, “as we are in the middle of budgeting, but it is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.”

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Aries, although you are full of excitement this week, rein in some of those feelings so you can focus on the tasks at hand. Use your energy to your advantage.
Someone may catch you off guard this week, Libra. This person will bring a welcome surprise, so look forward to this unexpected encounter.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Taurus, motivation may not be strong this week, so begin with some menial tasks around the house and build up to bigger plans. Eventually you will find a groove.
Back up your promises with decisive action, Scorpio. That’s the only way to prove to others that your word means something and you are committed to honoring your commitments.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Gemini, try to avoid focusing on just one issue for too long. Sometimes you simply must trust your instincts and forge ahead anyway. Let past experience guide you this week.
There may be more to the big picture than you are seeing, Sagittarius. Gather the facts before you jump to any conclusions. You may just see things from a different perspective.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Cancer, avoid the temptation to take on too many responsibilities this week. If you don’t, you might not get much done. Think before you accept more work.
Capricorn, you are riding high and looking to share your good fortune with others. Make the most of this chance to improve the lives of those around you.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Financial matters are looming and a decision must be made, Leo. Don’t be overcome with anxiety, as all you need to do is carefully examine your finances to come up with a solution.
Aquarius, you have an idea about how to tackle a difficult obstacle, but someone crosses your path with a different agenda. Perhaps there’s a way to work together.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Spontaneity beckons, Virgo, even though you are a careful planner who puts a lot of thought into your decisions. Overthinking is more hassle than it’s worth this week.
Pisces, avoid open conflict without being a pushover this week. Find the middle ground and try to understand another’s perspective.

LCBO campaign raising funds for MADD Canada in December News – Starting Dec. 1, the public can help support Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Canada by making a donation at all LCBO stores throughout Ontario. Project Red Ribbon donation boxes for MADD Canada will be displayed at LCBO checkout counters until Jan. 3. As part of LCBO’s annual Giving Back in Our Community campaign, customer service representatives will also invite customers to add a $2, $5 or $10 donation to their purchase until Jan. 3. During this period, LCBO’s Giving Back in Our Community in-store prompted and donation box fundraising campaign raises funds for Ontario’s four regional children’s hospitals and MADD Canada. These hospital foundations include the CHEO Foundation (Ottawa), SickKids Foundation (Toronto), McMaster Children’s Hospital Foundation (Hamilton) and Children’s Health Foundation (London). Donations are used to support the development of alcohol-related education and harm reduction programs.
The funds raised for MADD Canada support its school assembly program, a film and in-class discussion that educates students about the risks of impaired driving. This compelling film features a combination of a fictional storyline and testimonials from real-life victims of impaired driving. This program encourages students to make responsible choices and to not drink or take drugs and drive or ride along with someone else who has. “Teens and young adults are over-represented in impairment-related crashes to an alarming degree. MADD Canada’s school assembly program is crucial to educating young people about the risks of mixing alcohol and/or drugs with driving,” said MADD Canada national president Angeliki Souranis. “Thanks to the amazing support of the LCBO staff and customers, we are reaching more Ontario students than ever before with our life-saving message.” “We are proud to partner with MADD Canada for the annual Giving Back in Our Community campaign,” added
LCBO president and chief executive officer Bob Peter. “The generosity of LCBO customers and staff helps MADD Canada makes an impact on young people by encouraging them to make responsible choices to prevent impaired driving. With the public’s generous support, we hope to exceed the almost $2 million raised last December. These donations ensure more than half a million students at 1,500 Ontario schools see the school assembly program at no cost and also includes expanding this program to students in grades 7 and 8, thanks to customer donations.” MADD Canada’s Ontario chapters and community leaders join 27 provincial and numerous local charities as beneficiaries of LCBO’s provincewide donation box program in 2014. In 2013, LCBO raised a total of more than $8.2 million for charities through special programs and initiatives, of which $7.7 million was raised through in-store fundraising. In addition, LCBO’s annual dividend transfer to the Ontario government, which totaled $1.74 billion in
fiscal 2013-2014, excluding taxes, supMADD Canada thanks the public for ports a wide range of important govern- its support when shopping at their local ment programs, services and priorities, LCBO store from Dec. 1 to Jan. 3. including health care and education. Submitted by MADD Canada.

Columnist offers unique gift ideas for the car enthusiast in your life the original carpet from stains and for older ones to hide a multitude of salt scars. They’re available in front sets, front and rear packages, and cargo mats as well in a variety of colours. It’s not too late to log onto www.weathertech.ca to find out more. If your favourite car fan is a traveler, why not consider a GPS map unit? I’ve tested several of the top brands and Garmin is one of the best. For the minimum amount of driver distraction look for models with turn-by-turn voice command navigation and suggest the unit not be mounted on the windshield but below the level of the dash top. Less than $100: Splash/mud guards. Few new vehicles come with these anymore and they can save many times their value in reduced stone-chip paint damage or car washes. For the best fit and easiest installation, stick with the carmaker’s brand. Most factory dealerships carry these in stock for current and recent model year vehicles. Check the vehicle you’re buying for before heading out shopping. Look to

see if it has running boards, side-steps, or any type of flared moldings around the wheel openings on the fenders. Less than $50: Car detailing kits. If your loved one or family member is a Saturday morning driveway car wash fanatic, you can’t do better than picking up a car detailing kit. Many automotive stores will have ready-made kits available but you can easily make up your own. A 20 L plastic handled bucket can serve as the packaging to be filled with car wax, car wash soap (dish washing detergent really isn’t a good idea for washing autos), a wash mitt, a good quality chamois, tire dressing, windshield water repellant treatment and throw in a spray
can of silicone lubricating compound to show what a detailing expert you are. One of the best brands in the detailing business is Meguiars and you can find a complete line of their products at many auto parts stores. If your elf would rather let an automated car wash do the work, consider a gift card. As many of us are driving sport utilities, crossovers and minivans, some type of cargo organizer is a very useful item to have. Especially handy is the jug-tub, a plastic container designed to hold a 4 L bottle of windshield washer fluid to keep it from toppling over (don’t forget a new jug of good quality washer fluid as well). The best organizers are the ones with lids and a means to secure the unit in the vehicle. This prevents the container and its contents from becoming lethal missiles in the event of a collision or rollover. Less than $30: A good quality extendable snow brush is always in demand as they are one of the most mislaid auto accessories in existence. If your gift receiver drives a taller SUV or minivan, consider a portable step stool to make

Lifestyle – Almost everyone has uttered this lament during the Christmas season; “I just don’t know what to get for _______!” While I’m not a gift counsellor, if your recipient drives a vehicle, I can offer a few suggestions. Less than $200: While gifts that are car related may sound a little utilitarian for a Christmas offering, there are some that will leave a lasting impression of your thoughtfulness throughout the year. Weathertech floor liners are one of those gifts. These are not simply another winter floor mat-novelty, they are true floor liners. They are made in California and shipped in Canada from a Vancouver depot. Weathertech uses a scanner to create a digital image of the interior floor of any vehicle and then they custom mold their tough flexible water and salt proof liners to provide a glove-like fit. The liners extend to the door sill, up past the control pedals and back to almost under the seats with a deep tray wall to contain an entire winter’s worth of melted slush. They’re great for new cars to protect

Remembering our Daddy Kevin Lowe August 25, 1984 - December 14, 2012 Our daddy taught us that we are all special We all have our own faults, but still all special. Our daddy taught us to be brave to feel fear, but still be brave. Our daddy taught us to make the most of every moment, to make the most of the people you share the moments with. To make lots of memories, to create a past in case the future is long and lonely. Our daddy taught us to love and love will comfort us until we are together again. Deep in our hearts you’ll always stay, loved and missed every day. Love always Carter and Calli Lowe Kate xoxo

ELLIOTT - William December 11, 2008 WE’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU DAD Each day you strived to live, Your body to weak to be, Your love will live forever, Since your heart has set you free. Now you walk so bravely, You feel the pain no more, Angel’s have come to guide you, And bring you to Heaven’s door. Memories we’ll hold so dearly, Your smile warmed our heart’s, And through our lives you’ll live, You’ve touched so many parts. Hard days may be before us, It’s all apart of God’s plan, Why you left so soon, We may never understand. You’ll be alone no longer, And you’d tell us “Don’t be sad”, Please believe, you were no burden, We’ll always love you, Dad! Our lives have changed forever, Since the day you passed away, In Heaven you’ll be waiting, To meet us again someday. Love Matthew, Penny and family xoxo

good for the economy and the environment. “There’s an important economic benefit in buying locally-grown Christmas trees and associated greenery,” says Mauro. “In buying local, you’re helping to support businesses in your own community and, by extension, the economy of Ontario.” “Christmas trees are grown as a sustainable agricultural crop, staying in the ground for about 10 years before being harvested,” says Shirley Brennan, executive director of the CTFO. “When trees are harvested each year, the excess branches are salvaged for use in garlands and wreaths, reducing waste during this process, and new seedlings are planted to ensure a ready supply of Christmas trees for future holiday seasons,” says Brennan. Robert Keen, chief executive officer of Forests Ontario, says “Christmas tree farms play an important role in supporting healthy ecosystems and human health.” “These trees provide wildlife habitat protection for small birds and animals and, for all of us, they’re literally a breath of fresh air,” Keen says. “They act as air pollution filters, soaking up carbon dioxide emitted by cars, planes and homes, turning it into oxygen. In fact, every acre (about 0.4 hectares) of planted Christmas trees provides the daily oxygen needed by 18 people.” The benefits of Christmas trees are not finished once the holidays are over. Many municipalities collect the trees on designated collection days and use them in shoreline rehabilitation projects or chip them for use as mulch in municipal parks and flower beds. They can also be re-used at home to protect shrubs from snow build-up, as a stake for climbing plants, for making mulch out of branches and needles, or using it for woodworking projects. Mauro says, “Given their many benefits, you really can feel good about buying locally-grown Christmas trees, garlands and wreaths.” To ensure you’re purchasing Ontariogrown Christmas trees and greenery, “Look for the Leaf” – the Ontario Wood logo tag – on or near these products or ask the retail vendor where their trees were sourced. To find a Christmas tree farm closest to you, go to christmastrees.on.ca. To find Ontario Wood products, producers and supporters near you, visit Ontario.ca/wood. Tips to keep holiday greenery great • When selecting a tree, check for freshness. Choose a tree with strong green colour and a noticeable fragrance. Gently bend a needle to determine if it’s resilient or not. An unfrozen needle should form a “u” shape without breaking. • Choose fir, balsam or cedar for your decorative greenery as they dry out more slowly than other evergreens. • When you’re ready to bring the tree indoors, make a straight cut across the trunk about two centimetres from its end, enabling the tree to better absorb water.
