Speed limit changes on horizon for Mississippi Mills

NEWS

By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

News – Many residents within Mississippi Mills, particularly Clayton, have been lobbying for speed zone changes in the area for quite some time. At the Aug. 6 meeting, after much deliberation, analysis and a few public gatherings, the Committee of the Whole in Mississippi Mills has recommended that the council support the County of Lanark’s suggestion to enact speed zone changes in several areas. The motion, which was passed after an amendment had been added, recommends that council support various speed limit changes, including the hotbutton issue in Clayton, where residents widely supported a lesser speed limit through town. “There is a desire in Clayton to drop speeds,” said Troy Dunlop, director of roads and public works in Mississippi Mills, who was at the July 24 resident’s meeting where locals had a chance to voice their concerns. Coun. Val Wilkinson said she wanted to see either a stepped speed zone with a posted limit of 40 km/h within the town on Tatlock Road and 50 km/h at the S-bend, which is the main concern of residents; or she said she would support a zone of 50 km/h throughout. After some discussion, the committee amended the motion to include a 50 km/h zone throughout the Clayton area on Tatlock Road. Other speed zone changes that

the committee is recommending that the council support are on Wolf Grove Road and Christian Street in Almonte; Martin Street North, Appleton Side Road and Blakeney Road in Ramsay. The recommended change on Wolf Grove Road is to have a consistent speed zone of 50 km/h implemented instead of the current stepped-zone that is presently in place just outside of Almonte. “The police are saying that the stepped zones that go from 80 to 60 to 50 km/h make it impossible to enforce,” said Dunlop. “They are recommending a consistent zone of 50 km/h.” The 50 km/h zone will be extended 500 m and will begin just as the 80km/h zone ends, effectively removing the middle 60 km/h zone. The Christian Street change is simpler. The committee is recommending that council support a 60 km/h zone in place of the current 70 km/h zone as one approaches Almonte from either Carleton Place or Pakenham. Martin Street North, as one approaches Almonte from Blakeney, will see a potential extension of the 60 km/h zone to begin north of White Tail Drive. These recommended changes come after a report presenting 51 potential speed zones changes in Lanark County, including 10 in Mississippi Mills was evaluated and discussed by Mississippi Mills council. Dunlop said at the residents’ meeting in Clayton in late July that changes could potentially be enacted by as early as late October.

ity from Jason Clarke, owner and head coach of the Carleton Place Canadians, a Canadian Junior A hockey team. At present the Neelin Street recreation complex has bench seating. More than 1,000 hockey games are played inside the local area each year. During the Canadians’ regular season, just 29 games are played on home ice. Each contest averages 350

spectators. “This isn’t only for our fans,” said Clarke. “This is for the entire community – enhancing the viewing experience for all the rink’s users.” The Town of Carleton Place is proud to support the venture. “Joanne (Henderson) has been a huge proponent of this project,” said Clarke. Henderson is the manager

of recreation and culture. Faced with a tight schedule – the Canadians’ first home game is on Sept 7 – everyone has truly pulled together. “This has been a fantastic partnership,” said Clarke. Nevertheless, there have been some bumps in the road. The first seats chosen originated from Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore. They were only a couple of

of the economy.” And there is room for growth. Wynne was impressed with a hemp farm and what the crop could do for farmers and their profit margins. She was also turned on to the potential of maple syrup. “There’s a whole lot of trees not being tapped.” Her government committed $100 million to northern rural and small communities in the last budget. Some of that money could find its way into supporting those emerging sectors. However, as Brian Hudson awaited the premier’s arrival to his family’s sixth generation farm, he was less interested in where government can direct funds to

Local health unit works to raise awareness of bats and rabies virus News – The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit encourages residents to get more information about bats to help protect them from rabies. Bats typically have their babies in June and come August many of the young bats are looking for their own roosting sites. Many bats will roost and hibernate in attics. Bats are nocturnal animals and feed most actively two or three hours following sunset. Bats are efficient insect controllers eating about three times their body weight. Although bats are beneficial, they can carry diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis, which can affect humans and animals. They may also transmit distemper and mange to household pets. Approximately three per cent of bats carry the rabies virus. The most common signs of rabies in bats are the inability to fly and resting in unusual places such as the ground or floor. It is important to remember many of the bats that get into our homes are healthy bats and are looking for a way out.

home and are absolutely sure that there was no human or animal contact, try to confine the bat to one room by closing the door of the room. Open a window or door to the outside and then turn out the lights; the bat should fly out early in the evening. Be sure to wear gloves and other protective clothing at all times when dealing with a bat. If you are bitten by a bat or if saliva from a bat gets into your eyes, nose, mouth or a wound, wash the affected area thoroughly and get medical attention immediately. Should you find a bat in your home and a bite is difficult/impossible to determine due to the person’s age, or impairment contact your health care provider and the public health unit regarding treatment for rabies. Rabies can be confirmed through a laboratory test of brain tissue from the bat. If the test confirms that the bat was rabid, the health unit, in consultation with your family doctor, can provide rabies treatment.

to contact a pest management company or a wildlife conservation agency for assistance. Rabies can also affect pets; to protect your pet from rabies it is important to vaccinate them. Rabies vaccination is mandatory in Ontario for domestic cats and dogs. The health unit, in partnership with local veterinarians and municipalities, will be holding rabies vaccination clinics on Sept. 11 and 18. The cost is $20 per animal.

grow farming then where government can scale back and let farmers do their work free from government intervention. “They have some good programs, like the risk management program,” Hudson said. “But sometimes I think it’s better if they just stay out of the market.” The risk management program shelters farmers from the whims of nature and the marketplace: last year’s drought was enough to bankrupt some if not for government money; others suffer low prices during years with higher-thannormal yields.

R0012257429_0815

News – Premier Kathleen Wynne at a West Carleton farm last week shared some of the specific opportunities and challenges facing rural Ontario. After attending a round table discussion in the Upper Ottawa Valley, Wynne stopped at Panmure Farms to learn how Hudson’s Farm produces corn and other vegetables. She then spoke to a few dozen folks on hand enjoying an outdoor luncheon. Wynne is Ontario’s first female premier, first openly gay leader, and the first premier in a number of decades to also take on the agriculture-and-food portfolio. It was while wearing the last hat that the Liberal Wynne, on the job for just a few months now, launched into a speech touching on unity. “There is not ‘many Ontarians’ as some people like to say. That may be true in terms of various needs and issues,” Wynne said. “But at the end of the day we need each other. There is no urban-rural divide.” For many years the Progressive Conservatives have counted on rural and small town voters for support. Liberals and New Democrats have found their base largely in cities. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Wynne, leading a minority government supported by the NDP, would reach out to rural residents. She doesn’t openly pronounce it as politicking. She said agriculture is the second largest manufacturing sector in the province, contributing $34 billion annually to the economy. “That is an incredibly important part

Wynne defends the program as crucial. But she takes Hudson’s point. “It’s important for me to understand what’s needed. I believe in agriculture, and it’s in the best interests of all Ontarians to understand it,� she said. “We need to find that balance between protecting endangered species and the environment, and how we can get out of the way to let farmers do what they do best.� She said she realizes farmers have been fine stewards of the land for many generations. She admitted there are barriers in place on the government’s side, and that it isn’t always easy to find the right government person to deal with. “There are things we can do about that,� Wynne said.

Fewer farmers Arguably a more difficult challenge to overcome then these specific issues is that of labour shortages. Of the eight or so young people surrounding her, all sporting Hudson’s Farm tee-shirts and working at Panmure Farms for the summer, only one is considering a career remotely close to farming. “We’ve got to figure it out. We still have to eat,� Wynne said, somewhat exasperated. They told her that buying a farm or even inheriting one has upfront costs that are too steep. Others say the 24-7 aspect of the job doesn’t appeal to them. Hudson is also worried that no one will be around to take over he and his brother Bruce’s business. They have 1,000 acres, grow a wide variety of produce in one of the soil-rich pockets of the world, and operate a hog farm of 200 sows they maintain from farrow to finish. Yet none of their many children has shown an abundance of enthusiasm. Hudson takes it in stride at the moment, sounding almost philosophic. “You either like it or you don’t. There’s not much you can do about it,� he said. “If you don’t like it, you won’t last long anyway.� Then there’s the temptation to sell farms to urban developers. That Panmure Farms is located within the City of Ottawa’s borders may come as a surprise to those in Wynne’s neck of the woods in Southern Ontario. But it didn’t take Mayor Jim Watson, also on hand to meet the premier, all that long tout the benefits of rural businesses and lifestyle to the national capital as a whole. “Farming contributes $250 million to the Ottawa economy,� he said. “It’s big business and it’s an important business.� Watson, a former Liberal cabinet minister, was joined by another prominent area Liberal. Federal candidate Karen McCrimmon said Wynne was doing the right thing by visiting communities throughout the province. “Politicians need to get out among the people more. It’s all about the people,� McCrimmon said. “I think what she says about growing the family farm is important. The locavore movement. Let’s eat closer to home.� West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El-Chantiry was out of town during Wynne’s visit. Wynne was invited by the non-partisan Ontario Federation of Agriculture – Arnprior chapter. Throughout the week she also made stops at Rosecamp Farms near Balderson, the Canadian Cooperative Wool Growers in Carleton Place and toured Merrickville.

lower cost. “In the long run it will be cheaper to put up the tab signs than to replace the green and white signs, and they should last longer.� Warden Bill Dobson (Montague reeve) says county council has approved the option to install the new signage for all municipal road intersections in the county road system. “In addition to the public safety aspect, another advantage is this new signage will be much more consistent because it will be provided on all county roads, not just the former provincial highways,� he says. Allan says the new signage has been reviewed and endorsed by the OPP and that it will also assist emergency responders. Provincial guidelines allow for only two tabs added per existing regulation sign, so in cases where more tabs are needed additional signs will be installed closer to the intersection. If intersecting roads have different names, the left road will be listed first. Similarly, if the intersection isn’t aligned, the first encountered road will be listed first. There are about 400 intersections in the 565-kilometre county road system, which will involve some 800 tabs. In accordance with the Ontario Traffic Manual, private roads, which are any roads not maintained by the county or a municipality, will not have warning signs. The signs will not be installed in hamlets and towns because posted speed limits are reduced in those locations and there is less need for advance warning of road names. The project will be completed in phases starting in early August in the Perth area. The second phase will begin about a month later and will focus on the northern part of the county. These two phases should be completed by the end of September and will only cover roads that were not former provincial highways, which will be completed next year. At that point, the old green and white signs will be removed. “This is a ‘made in Lanark County with a bit of Florida’ solution,� Allan says. Submitted by the County of Lanark. R0022242277_0815

News – Lanark County’s public works department is undertaking a new, multi-year signage program that aims to increase public safety through improved directional signage while decreasing visual clutter along roadways. The move comes as the large green and white signs on wooden posts along the former provincial highways downloaded to the county in the 1990s reach the end of their service life. Rather than replace these expensive signs, the county is opting for something new. Steve Allan, public works director, says the idea is based on signage he observed on state highways in Florida. “Down there they have road tabs attached below the yellow diamond intersection warning signs,� he explains. “The tabs indicate the names of roads at upcoming intersections, and because they are attached to the pre-existing warning signs it means additional intersection signage isn’t required, which reduces visual pollution.� He notes that although many drivers today have GPS, having simple, effective directional signage is still important to ensure everyone gets to their desired destinations safely. “This is particularly true on rural county roads, where speed limits can be 80 kilometres per hour,� Allan says. “At these high speeds, providing early notification of intersecting side roads helps drivers to anticipate where traffic may be entering the roadway and to prepare for their own turning movements.� Ontario Ministry of Transportation policy is to provide “advance destination� signs on provincial highways. There are about 100 such signs on County Roads 29, 43, 49 and 511 – the former provincial highways – but the signage isn’t consistent. Allan says the old signs are large, making them vulnerable to damage from high winds, snow and errant vehicles. They are also costly to purchase and install. The new advance road name tabs installed on the pre-existing warning sign posts can be added at a much

A matrimonial carousel at Perth’s Classic Theatre Festival Arts – While writing the second comedy of the Classic Theatre Festival’s 2013 season, playwright Leslie Stevens wrestled with the question many in the 1950s asked: what would happen if someone like Albert Einstein and Marilyn Monroe got together and had a baby? In The Marriage-Go-Round (running to Sept. 1 in Perth) festival veteran Scott Clarkson takes on the role of Professor Paul Delville, who faces marital mayhem when a Swedish colleague’s daughter throws herself at him, asking that he father her baby. Rachel Jones, returning this year after last year’s Festival hit, Mary, Mary, plays Content – the Dean of Women and Delville’s wife – who is continually pursued by a linguistics professor with an abiding passion for her. The twists and turns of these romantic entanglements give the play the “goround” feel of a matrimonial carousel. Opening weekend audiences were very enthusiastic, and it appears the production may inspire a local revival of the cha-cha dance style. Playing the potential lovers who complicate the lives of the otherwise happily married couple are two Toronto-based performers who were bitten early by the performance bug. The Swedish bombshell Katrin Sveg is played by Elisabeth Lagerlöf, who at three-years-old, asked her parents to put her into ballet classes. It was a true spotlight opportunity in the small town of Perth-Andover, New Brunswick (population 900), and until the dance teacher moved away, Lagerlöf thoroughly enjoyed every chance of appearing on stage. After her family moved to Fredericton, she enrolled in Theatre New Brunswick’s youth training program while picking up roles in high school productions of musicals like Hello, Dolly and Grease. Caught by the double cohort and unable to get into her Canadian school of choice, she wound up at the fabled New York City American Musical and Dramatic Academy, a two-year program during which she breathed the sights and sounds of Broadway, especially enjoying a performance of the original production of the musical Little Women. Now based in Toronto, Lagerlöf has performed mostly in film and television, currently appearing in a Temptation Cat Treats commercial in which she lovingly massages a very happy cat.

“I had to massage an Elmo doll at the audition for three minutes,” she recalls of the surreal experience. She has also appeared in the BBC TV series Copper, a slew of short films, and just came off a two-week, sold-out run with the innovative Toronto company Shakespeare BASH’d, which brings the Bard’s plays to a younger audience in offbeat venues. “I often do a lot of crying roles,” she says. “Anyone who is absolutely devastated, I play those types a lot, so I am looking forward to the comic role of Katrin in The Marriage-Go-Round,” she says. Lagerlöf credits her Swedish father, who coached her in developing her accent in preparation for the audition that landed her the role. Kevin Hare grew up as a self-described theatre brat, with both parents involved in the theatre and teaching the arts at BC universities. “From the earliest of ages I could hear my parents practicing their lines in the next room, and I started doing roles when they needed a kid in a show,” he says. “I was immediately hooked, there’s just something about the smell of the grease paint.” With appearances on stages across Canada, he has also done considerable work in TV and film, appearing in everything from Lonesome Dove and Wind At My Back to The West Wing, The Bridge, and Transporter. “You use different acting muscles in film than on stage, so it is great to go from one medium to another, as each one refreshes your ideas about the best way to truthfully play a role,” he says. “I really like the character of Ross Barnett in The Marriage-Go-Round,” he says, noting he can relate to the professor’s conflicts and desires, having grown up with parents who know the academic life. Hare will appear in Lagerlöf’s former hometown of Fredericton this fall in Miracle on 34th Street. He has also performed with and been directed by his father, Carl Hare, including an intense oneman show, Kings, based on The Iliad, as well as a play about playwright Henrik Ibsen’s married life. And in one of those small-world coincidences, Hare’s father directed a 1981 production of the Hugh Leonard play Da, which starred Bernard Behrens, the late father of the Classic Theatre Festival’s Associate Producer,

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

March of Dimes thanks volunteers, donors for campaign support DEAR EDITOR: For more than 60 years March of Dimes has depended on the kindness and generosity of Ontarians who open their doors, heart and wallets during our annual door-to-door campaign. The Ottawa area campaign raised close to $83,000! Once again, this past January and February more than 6,000 canvassers across the province went door-to-door to help raise money for children and adults living with physical disabilities. This year they were also joined by online canvassers. Our volunteers carried on a tradition started more than 60 years ago when “Marching Mothers” went door to door to raise money for a polio cure. Thanks to their efforts, a vaccine was found and Canada was the

first country to be declared polio-free. Today’s March of Dimes provides programs and services that open doors for people with physical disabilities to jobs, recreation, mobility and independence – but we couldn’t do it without our dedicated volunteers. On behalf of March of Dimes, I extend my deepest gratitude to all of our volunteers in the Ottawa area and thank them for helping us raise close to $600,000 in 2013. We couldn’t do without you!

COMMENTARY Protect yourself and pets against rabies Editorial – August signifies many things: the winding down of summer and parents preparing to send kids back to school, but it is also the time when young bats are out and about looking for nesting sites. Recently, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit encouraged residents of the tri-county area to increase their awareness of the nocturnal creatures, which can carry diseases such as rabies and histoplasmosis, that can be transferred to humans and animals. Household pets aren’t immune either; bats can transmit distemper and mange to them. However, just because bats can carry rabies doesn’t mean that all have the virus. The health unit stated that approximately three per cent of bats carry rabies and usually the ones found in homes are healthy and simply looking to leave. Obtain tips to bat-proof your home from local pest management companies or wildlife conservation agencies. Those who have suffered a bite from a bat should get medical attention so tests can be done to ensure the bat is not rabid. If so, it can be treated. The family pet may not be so lucky. Pet owners also have a duty to safeguard their furry friends against rabies. Rabies vaccinations are mandatory in Ontario for all domestic cats and dogs. To help ensure this happens, the health unit is offering two upcoming rabies vaccination clinics Sept. 11 and 18. For more information on rabies, visit www.healthunit.org/rabies.

Mother was in a fit state for Aunt Lizzie’s visit Lifestyle – Mother was in a state! Aunt Lizzie was on her way from Regina for her annual summer visit. As usual, she gave little notice. A letter had come just days before she was to arrive. That gave little time for Mother to get the house in spic and span order. Father reminded her she had just torn the whole place upside down for the spring cleaning! “That was months ago, Albert. And you know your sister. She can spot a fleck of dust a mile away.” Aunt Lizzie would be given the bed Audrey and I slept in, and that meant we would be sent down to the creton couch in the kitchen, where we would have to sleep foot-to-foot since the couch was so narrow. Heaven forbid that Aunt Lizzie would sleep on a feather mattress, which was what was on Audrey’s and my bed! The only felt mattress was on Mother and Father’s bed in the downstairs bedroom. That meant the brothers had to haul down the one from upstairs, and lug the other one upstairs, which didn’t please them a bit. After all, it was a Saturday, and they had planned on a day of fishing in the Bonnechere...not a day spent lug-

ging mattresses up and down the stairs! But with Aunt Lizzie coming, every hand was put to use. That is, all except Father. He wanted no part of what he considered unnecessary work. He escaped to the barns, telling Mother it was time he did something about that broken door in the cow byre. He would appear only for his meals until Mother’s frantic house cleaning was over! My sister and I also had to give up our little shared washstand in our bedroom. It had to be completely emptied, and washed inside and out. What a carryon, just because Aunt Lizzie was coming from Regina! Getting the food ready was a challenge in itself. Even though Aunt Lizzie was born and bred on that homestead out in Northcote, you would never know she had ever breathed a breath of air from Renfrew County! There would be no salt pork for breakfast, and certainly pork hocks, and mud pout would never see the light of day all the time Aunt Lizzie’s visit lasted! So as soon as the house was cleaned from top to bottom, Mother set to baking.

as pie after pie, Johnny cake, and bread puddings were made and stacked in the ice box. A loaf of store-bought bread, and a real pound of butter replaced what we ate every day of our lives on the farm. Mother, once again, asked Father to please refrain from cooling his tea in his saucer while his sister was here, but her request, I knew, would fall on deaf ears. As far as Father was concerned, he wasn’t about to change his habits just because Aunt Lizzie was coming with her highfalutin airs! Even though Aunt Lizzie caused complete bedlam in our household before and during her visit, I loved when she came from Regina. She always brought me something special.

made of china. Even its little arms and legs were China. I used to think she was the smartest thing to ever step off the train in Renfrew Station. She always wore pure white...a white dress in the latest fashion...and a big wide red leghorn hat, and white gloves that went all the way up to her elbow. And on the outside of those spanking white gloves was a big red glass ring! Tiny red patent-leather shoes completed the outfit. I would marvel at the wealth of our Western cousins. Didn’t her two sons go to university? And didn’t she have a free pass to travel anywhere in the entire country by train. All because Uncle Jack worked for the CPR. And of course, it was Aunt Lizzie who once or twice a year packed a big wood tea box full of clothes no longer suitable for her sons, and send it off to Renfrew on the train. It was the hand-me-down box. Now, once again, Aunt Lizzie was coming to visit. Finally, the house was spotless. We were warned to take our shoes off at the door, not to touch the woodwork which had just been polished, and to make sure ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

our bedrooms were kept spotlessly clean – a tall order for five rambunctious kids. Aunt Lizzie was to arrive in three days. We couldn’t be more ready. Then the phone rang one morning, just after our breakfast. It was the stationmaster in Renfrew. There was a telegram from the West. Mother asked him to read it...no use going all the way into town for bad news, or good news, whatever the case may be. It was from Aunt Lizzie, and she was so sorry, but her trip had to be cancelled, because Uncle Jack was getting an unexpected award from the CPR, and it was on the very weekend she planned on leaving! They had been given a trip to Calgary. Her trip would have to wait until the next summer. Mother asked the stationmaster to read it again. After she hung up the phone, she let out the biggest sigh which I thought could be heard in Douglas! For supper that night Mother hauled out a pie from the ice box, we all had store-bought bread with real butter, we five kids sat at the table with our shoes on, and there sat Father with his tea in his saucer, cooling it off until it was fit to drink. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

Community – If you think you haven’t seen as many bees lately, you aren’t the only one – their numbers are declining. Bees are essential to the production of our food. According to a University of California, Berkley study, one in three bites of food in the United States are a result of pollination by both wild and domestic bees but disease, parasites, habitat loss, poor over-wintering and chemical use have caused a serious decline in bee populations. The good news is something can be done. A seminar on how to encourage bees back to your property will be held on Sunday, Sept. 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Perth Civitan hall (6787 County Road 43). Susan Chan, program manager at Farms at Work, will provide landowners with ways to attract bees by turning unused or marginal land into habitat for these natural pollinators. “What Susan Chan has to say will be of interest to farmers, gardeners, horticulturalists, and bee-keepers as well as environmentalists, ecologists, and biologists,� says event organizer Andy Kerr-Wilson. Chan, who is also author of ‘A Landowner’s Guide to Conserving Native Pollinators in Ontario’, has been working with farmers in the Peterborough area to develop areas to encourage bees back to the farm. For more on these programs, visit farmsatwork.wordpress.com. Her presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session and a round-table discussion involving representatives of interested groups. The seminar will conclude with a visit to a local farm where participants will get to see the plan Chan has created for this operation.

REGIONAL NEWS

News – The new Ontario government is investing more than $11 million to support improvements to critical infrastructure in eastern Ontario’s rural communities. The province is supporting these improvements through the Municipal Infrastructure Strategy, which is providing nearly $90 million over the next three years to help municipalities across the province build and maintain key infrastructure. “Rural Ontario has unique and diverse infrastructure needs,â€? stated Ontario Minister of Rural Affairs, Jeff Leal. “By collaborating and consulting with our local and regional partners, we are providing communities with revitalized critical infrastructure that will create jobs, grow local businesses and keep communities moving.â€? Local projects include: • Replacing single-lane French Line Bridge with a two-lane bridge in Lanark Highlands Township; • Replacing the Mississippi River Bridge with a new bridge that will allow for heavy trucks in Lanark County; • Rehabilitating 9th Line to replace culverts and improve drainage in Beckwith Township; • Resurfacing and rehabilitating Wiltse Bridge in Rideau Lakes Township; • Rehabilitating Gananoque Bridge in the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville; and • Replacing Steenburg Lake North Road Bridge in Limerick Township. Building on the Munici-

pal Infrastructure Strategy, the province is providing an additional $100 million to help small, rural and northern municipalities build and maintain roads, bridges and other critical infrastructure. A consultation involving local and regional rural officials was held in Casselman Aug. 9 to discuss the fund’s scope and design. Investing in infrastructure is part of the government’s plan to create jobs, build stronger communities and help people in their everyday lives. Background • Most Municipal Infrastructure Strategy funding is being provided to communities with populations under 20,000. • Ontario has already committed $9 million through the Municipal Infrastructure Strategy to help small, rural and northern municipalities prepare asset management plans. • Since 2003, the Ontario government has provided approximately $13 billion to help municipalities repair and upgrade roads and bridges, improve water and wastewater treatment facilities, and revitalize community infrastructure. “The new Ontario government is committed to working with municipalities, especially our rural partners, to help make critical infrastructure investments that will strengthen our communities across the province,â€? said Ontario Minister of Infrastructure, Glen Murray. “Through the Municipal Infrastructure Strategy, we are ensuring that the right investments are made at the right time.â€?

Lifestyle – Housing starts in the Ontario region were trending up at 58,376 units in July, compared to 55,653 in June, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts. “A pullback in Ontario’s housing construction seems to have stopped for now. Ontario’s housing starts trend, which is down from last year, has been essentially flat for four months. The latest month’s home starts trend is up a little, with multiple family construction, mostly apartment condominiums, leading the way. Home prices are high, so it is not surprising that the more affordable new home types, such as condominium apartments, have been very popular,” said Alex Medow, CMHC Ontario senior market analyst. CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of

housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next. The standalone monthly SAAR was 59,547 units in July, down from 60,378 units in June.

THE EMC - 20 - Thursday, August 15, 2013

EMC News – The Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) advises parents to help them prepare children for the family’s move. Involving children in the move will help to lessen everyone’s stress. The summer is the period of peak demand for moving companies. Families move for a great variety of reasons and generally believe that this is the best time to relocate to avoid disrupting their children’s education. Moving can be a major upheaval for children. They may feel anxious about separation from friends, schools and neighborhoods. It’s up to parents to prepare them for moving day, to help reduce their stress and yours. Involving children in the move can help to calm their fears and make the transition more tolerable. Give them as much time as possible to ask questions or express their feelings about the move. Answer all of their questions. Present the move in a positive light. Get them excited about the changes to come. When you arrive in your new community, you may find that organized summer activities are already under way. It may be too late for your children to participate. Neighbourhood children may be away on vacation, making it difficult to make new friends immediately. There may be several weeks before new friends can be made at school. A mid-year move gives school-aged children the chance to connect with new friends. Advance planning can ensure children are involved in the new community quickly. Contact community centres about summer programs and make arrangements for children before the move. Contact schools as soon as possible to find out about registration and orientation programs. Get the children excited about moving. Help young children understand where they and their be-

longings are going. Show them the new neighbourhood – the house, the parks, the school – using online maps. Visit stores or dining spots in the new area before the move so they are already familiar after the move. Plan a special outing or party with your friends and theirs before you move. Help children to create happy memories with best friends and at favourite places. Engage children in preparing for moving day. Have them select a few favourite items to carry with them on their trip. Have them pack a box of “special” items. This box should be the first to be unloaded. Arrange for someone to take care of the children while the movers are packing and loading. Parents will be very busy overseeing the move and may not be attentive to children’s needs. Children will need to adjust to their new setting. Set up the child’s room first so that their space provides some normalcy. If possible, invite old friends to come for a visit so children can show off their home. If you planned early, you probably did your research and have booked an ethical moving and storage company who will provide professional moving and storage services. If not, you may be finding that movers are already committed and are facing using a fly-by-night scam operator who will make promises and fail to deliver. Contact CAM for assistance in finding a good mover – a mover that subscribes to CAM’s code of ethics, meets CAM’s business standards and commits to mediation in the unlikely event of a dispute. Your best protection in reducing your risk to your worldly possessions – and reducing the stress upon you and your family – is to hire a reputable company at the outset. For further information, visit CAM’s website at www.mover.net. Submitted by the Canadian Association of Movers.

In the closing laps John Gifford was looking to make it win number two of the year coming from ninth to second but Alex Gagnon was too strong on this night as he became the 10th different winner this year in Street Stock over Gifford, Pascal Racette, Kevin Fetterly Jr., and Danny Mocibob.

SAFETY TIPS

Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Installing a carbonmonoxide alarm near the sleeping areas of your home will alert you to the presence of this deadly gas. It is a good idea to invest in a batteryoperated alarm that will continue to work during power failures.

The Rookie class is always exciting to watch and Corbin Miller was looking to get back into victory lane as he charged from his fourth starting position to grab the early race lead. Miller would lead the opening six laps as the two early yellows would fly, both for Mike McGonegal as he had problems in turn two. On the restart Miller would try to fend off three-time winner Quincy Roberts. The two drivers have had a great championship battle all year and have

been the class of the field each week. Roberts closed in on Miller with five laps to go in the 15-lap event and the chase was on. With three laps to go, Miller’s car slowed as he cut down a right front tire handing the lead over to Quincy Roberts. Once in front Roberts made it look easy as he scored his second in a row and fourth of the season over Scott McGill, Kurtis Daye, Tyson Slinger and Josh Kirkland. See SPEEDWAY page 27

and would hold the top spot for the next several laps but Ferguson was charging hard after the leader. The top two put on a fantastic show for the fans as both Murphy and Ferguson raced wheel to wheel for the next nine laps but Murphy was able to hold off all challenges to stay at the top of the field. The yellow would fly again just before the halfway point as Chris Herbison and Kurtis Lee came together in turn two. When the green flew Murphy was on the charge as she held onto the lead but Dylan Evoy was the man on the move. Evoy started in 14th and made his way to third by lap 13. Using the bottom side of the race track Evoy was able to take second from Ferguson as laps wound down, and quickly closed in on the leader. With 10 to go Evoy used a power move on the bottom off turn two to take over the top spot over Murphy, Ferguson Barber and Jessica Power. Once in front Evoy was the fastest car on the race track building up a full straightaway lead on the rest of the field. Evoy has struggled at Brockville in 2013 but he put it all together again to claim his 2nd win in a row over Murphy, Steve Barber, Ferguson and Jessica Power. The Rookie Sportsman division was ready to tackle as fast racing surface on this night. Jeremy Coulter and Richard Raison led the field to the start of the 15-lap event with Coulter taking away the top spot. Coulter had been away from the speedway for a couple weeks and it seemed to recharge himself and his team as he pulled away from everybody in the opening laps. Josh Powers brought out the first yellow of the day as he spun in turn three. On the restart Coulter would keep the roll going as he pulled out to another huge lead but the driver charging hard was points leader Chris Bakker. After starting seventh on the grid he would work his way into the top three getting by Richard Raison with just five laps to go. Coulter had everything going his way as he scored his first ever Sportsman win over Tristan Draper, Chris Bakker, Richard Raison and Jamie Young. The Street Stock division has seen nine different winners in 10 races this year and with another quality field another different winner was not out of the question. Travis Andrews took the lead at the start of the 15-lap affair over Selena Simzer and Alex Gagnon. Andrews was charging hard on this night but Gagnon had a fast car and was able to take the lead away on lap six. Just past the halfway point Kevin

THE ROSEMARY BREMAN SCHOOL OF DANCING EST. 1982 R0022258339_0815

Sports – It was another great night of racing at the Brockville Ontario Speedway (BOS) this past Saturday night (Aug. 10) as Trailer Country was on hand for a full program plus the first of back-to-back appearances, for the Ford Dingwall Vintage Series. The 358 Modifieds were set to go as 22 drivers took to the speedway. Dave Austin and Luke Stewart strated on the front row as Stewart took the top spot away into turn one. The yellow flew right away on the opening lap as Tim O’Brien, Adam Moore and April Wilson came together in turn 2. All drivers were able to pull away. On the restart Stewart had a great race car and used the top side of the speedway to pull out to a four-car length advantage but the man on the charge was Danny O’Brien. After two rough weeks O’Brien started in spot number three and quickly made his way to the lead passing Stewart on lap three. Once in front O’Brien made it look easy as he pulled out to a huge lead. Meanwhile behind him Luke Stewart had his hands full with four-time track champion Lee Gill. The two drivers battled hard for the second spot until Gill was able to take it away bringing Pat O’Brien with him. Several mid-race cautions bunched up the field giving Gill and Pat O’Brien a clear shot at the leader. When the green came back out Danny O’Brien continued his dominant performance as Pat O’Brien was able to wrestle the second spot away down the back stretch. Kyle Dingwall, the defending track champion was the biggest mover of the night. After starting 12th he battled with Luke Stewart in the closing laps and would eventually take away the number four position. However despite late cautions and heavy lapped traffic Danny O’Brien was back in fine form taking his brand new car to victory lane for the fifth time this season. Older brother Pat O’Brien settled for second followed by Lee Gill, Kyle Dingwall and Luke Stewart. The Sportsman division was ready for battle on this night as well as Tabatha Murphy and Jonathan Ferguson charged into turn one with Ferguson getting the early advantage. Ferguson would lead the opening three laps until the yellow flew for Aaron Pugh who spun in turn two. On the restart Murphy was able to get a great restart to take over the top spot heading into turns one and two with Ferguson, Steve Barber, Jessica Power and Kenny Polite making up the top five early on. Murphy had a strong race car

Dreaming of the Scottish Highlands and Deacon Brodie’s Carleton Place, Beckwith Township and Mississippi Mills immigrated to Canada from Scotland in the early 19th century. Shared history creates a strong bond. We feel exceedingly fortunate to be involved in a program which has led to a number of trips to Scotland (selffinanced I hasten to add) where we have built many friendships over the course of two decades. Originally my involvement was through the Carleton Place newspaper where I was editor and publisher for nearly 30 years. In 2006 my experience with Scotland and Comrie led to a direct involvement in the sister city program. R, F and D I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. We have enjoyed every one of our many visits to Scotland as well as Comrie and the surrounding Strathearn district in particular. Some people joke about Scotland’s weather being dominated by the acronym RF and D (it stands for rain, fog and drizzle). Well, to be honest it isn’t a joke. RF and D is a reality! Last summer was one of the wettest on record in the UK. Meanwhile we were in the midst of a major drought. In 2013 it has been quite the opposite. Much of Scotland has been so dry this year that streams have dried up, river levels are down dramatically and central air conditioning (a rarity in the United Kingdom) has become a prized possession. Odd considering that last year it was so wet flooding occurred across the country. Comrie experienced two serious floods which led to major damage and prompted emergency flood mitigation work which cost more than £1 million ($1.6 million CDN.). Ironically the dykes have had nothing to hold back this year. But hey, we can’t control the weather. If you go to Scotland prepared, you will have nothing to worry about. Rule No. 1: Always take a raincoat and a brolly (note that I didn’t say it hasn’t rained this year). In the normal scheme of things are RF and D.

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

Recently I had a reader from Perth contact me seeking information about Scotland. I will work to get some more details to her. But perhaps some of what I will now touch on will be of assistance? She is seeking advice about places her loved ones might enjoy during a planned visit to Scotland next year. To be honest I wish I could join our student exchange group this weekend but other commitments, including a planned visit to Germany this fall, won’t allow that. We’ve visited Scotland four times in seven years including participating in the 2010 exchange visit. But I still envy them their trip. Scotland is a dream destination for me. Our students and their chaperones will spend a full day in Edinburgh, the historic capital. I recommend it highly for the history including Edinburgh Castle which looms impressively over the city. At the opposite end of the Royal Mile is Holyrood Palace, the Queen’s official

Lifestyle – When people ask me what my favourite travel destinations are, Scotland is always in the top 5. Judging by my email there are a lot of other people out there who love the land of Braveheart, sheep, haggis and Scotch whisky. My wife Kathleen and I have a vested interest in Scotland. Carleton Place, where we live, has been twinned with the picturesque village of Comrie for 21 years. We have been there many times. We are also members of the local Sister City Committee, the organization which oversees the twinning on this side of the Atlantic. In fact I have the privilege of being the current chair of the organization. Currently our most prominent shared activity is a student exchange which began in 2010 and will continue every two or three years, depending on finances. It isn’t cheap to airlift half a dozen people to the United Kingdom and vice versa! On Saturday four students and two adult chaperones from Carleton Place will launch the 2013 student exchange program when they fly to Scotland to begin a 10-day visit. The contingent from Scotland returns here for 10 days beginning on the Thanksgiving weekend in October. The students are billeted with host families. They will attend school with their Scottish twins and take part in a number of excursions to points of interest in historic Scotland. The emphasis of the exchange program is education, culture and history. This fall the students from Scotland will enjoy the same program here. Carleton Place has been running a similar exchange with our other sister community, the city of Franklin, Tennessee (near Nashville) since 2006. Overall we are very pleased with the two-pronged program and what has been accomplished to date. Besides the obvious educational and cultural benefits, many of the students who have gone through the program have formed friendships with their twins in Scotland and Tennessee which will no doubt last a lifetime. We are very proud of the program which we finance entirely through various fundraising activities. The exchange does not cost taxpayers a single cent! Last year Kathy and I, along with Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc and her husband Frank, represented our town at ceremonies held in Comrie to mark the 20th anniversary of the twinning arrangement. It was a very proud moment for all concerned. The linkage with the village in Scotland is based on history. Many of the early settlers of Lanark County, including

residence in Scotland. A tour of the palace and the adjoining Holyrood Abbey ruins are well worth the admission fee. The students will take a hop-on, hop-off bus tour which is the best way to see the major sites of any city in a short time. The Carleton Place group will be in the city during the famous Fringe Festival, the world’s largest arts festival. The street entertainment is nothing short of phenomenal! For me a visit to ‘The Fringe’ and a stop at famous Deacon Brodie’s Tavern is a must. The tavern is named after Deacon William Brodie, the man who inspired Edinburgh-born author Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel ‘The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.’ Besides Edinburgh and Scotland’s main city Glasgow (also well worth a visit), much of the country is lightly populated. I use the word “country� because although it is part of the UK most Scots are fiercely independent. Comrie is located in the southern Highlands. A drive through the uplands and mountains is a must. Queen’s view Scotland has thousands of freshwater lochs (lakes) and seemingly each one is more impressive than the last. But if I had to pick one it wouldn’t be Loch Ness, but rather Loch Tummel near Pitlochry in Perth and Kinross. In 2010 I led our stu-

dent exchange group to Queen’s View, a high point on the north side of the loch. It is so-named because Queen Victoria visited in 1866. The vista is nothing short of breathtaking! The young people queued for an opportunity to have their photos taken with Loch Tummel in the background. Castles dot the countryside in Scotland. Among my favourites is Stirling Castle, which stands impressively above the city of the same name. We also thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Blair Castle and its beautiful grounds near the village of Blair Atholl in Perthshire. For monarchists Balmoral Castle, Queen Elizabeth’s summer holiday home in Royal Deeside (Aberdeenshire) is a must. So too is hauntingly beautiful Glamis Castle in Angus, birthplace of the late Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and her late daughter Princess Margaret. Of course Scotland is the birthplace of golf. Any golfer worthy of the name makes a pilgrimage to the Old Course at St. Andrew’s on the North Sea coast. The weather aside – yes RF and D are normally a constant – Scotland is one of Europe’s gems. I’m confident our student exchange group will return in full agreement with my assessment.

In the Ford Dingwall Vintage Series a pair of former Sportsman drivers led the field to Gary Vandermeer’s green flag as Jason Powers and Dave Wilgosh charged hard into turn one with powers getting the top spot away. Powers began his season in the Sportsman class but made his return to the Vintage divsion and did not look out of place on this night. Both Powers and Wilgosh had fast cars and pulled out to a straightaway on the battle for third which was a great one between Phil Ross, Paul Billings and Denzil Billings Jr. Even with late race yellow flags, Powers would lead all 15 laps for the big win over Wilgosh. Steve Arbuthnot would charge from ninth to finish up third on the night followed by Phill Ross and Paul Billings.

Sharbot Lake man restores Canadian-made 1916 Model T Lifestyle – Virgil Garrett was born on a farm in eastern Ontario in 1922. He lives today in Sharbot Lake and owns a 1916 Model T Ford purchased in pieces about 50 years ago. He took the car out for an “off road� spin about three years ago: “It started with a fellow shop instructor who casually mentioned I should own a Model T. After parting with a few dollars, I became the owner of a frame, springs, engine running gear, body, and a few extra parts. I had obtained my driver’s license on a Model T and felt the necessary parts for restoration could be found somewhere. Cleaning the engine of grease, grime, and dirt, revealed serial number C98603, which matched the same number on the brass nameplate under the dash. My car is a Canadian-made 1916 model. “Extra parts are where you find them: fence corners, stone piles, garages, flea markets, or old barns. Help came from friends, neighbours and even strangers in finding a radiator, round gas tank, coal-oil sidelights, turtle deck, windshield, wheels with wooden felloes (a wooden rim inside the outer metal rim into which spokes fit), and 30x31/2 tires (daughter Anne bought her dad new tires in 2000). I also acquired a 1916 hard cover owner’s manual with detailed information essential in a restoration. “I removed dirt with a wire brush, sanded parts to bare metal, undercoated the body, and filled pits which were then re-sanded to a smooth finish so I could paint them. I also welded broken parts, and shaped new

body metal, which was formed, fitted, and fastened together with rivets and wood screws. Wooden parts were also rebuilt, seats reupholstered, back cushions pinned in place, while top and top pads were re-sewn. And if pieces are missing, you make new ones, as I did. The restoration offset the many frustrations I went through to reach the finished product. “I have many Model T memories: driving my first car over gravel roads at the fantastic speed of 25 miles an hour, squeezing in like sardines and going to ball games, cranking the engine, checking the gas under the front seat with a wooden stick, watching for cattle that grazed along the roadsides, and tire chains in winter beating a noisy rhythm against the back fenders if they were slightly loose. I was one of the earliest ‘Mr. Fixits,’ making haywire and fence pliers the tools of the Model T trade. This was the exciting, magical world of the Model T and I just had to be a part of that world!â€? I’m always looking for more stories.

Studio Theatre’s David Parry must make difficult choices Arts – This year, Perth’s Studio Theatre opens its 2013-14 season with a sure-fire audience pleaser: Norm Foster’s Old Love, directed by the company’s artistic director, David Parry. There is a bit of a love-hate relationship in this combination because Parry has always been outspoken on his views of Foster’s plays. “For a number of years, it was well known I was not a big fan of Norm Foster,� he admits. Then he qualifies his statement. “Well, that’s not entirely true. I liked his plays, just not the number of them being done.� He chuckles and adds, “A steady diet of either chocolate or roast beef will soon make you turn to the other.� Yet in spite of his ambivalence about Foster plays, Old Love will be Parry’s second production by this popular Canadian playwright. Last year, Studio Theatre appropriately opened its season with Foster’s Opening Night, a smash hit directed by Parry. It was his first Foster play, and he says, “I directed it in my own mind despite the fact it was a Norm Foster. But I had seen it and felt it was one of his best plays.� Why does he persist in again starting off with a playwright about whom he feels only lukewarm? As artistic director, Parry is mainly responsible for putting together the season of plays the Studio Theatre will present. Choice of plays is one of the main conundrums facing an artistic director. Parry heads up a committee of directors and other interested people who read and suggest plays for a season. He himself comes to the table having read over a dozen plays that he feels would be suitable. He says, “I think we need a season that is not all comedies, although they are popular. I think we have a duty to bring other types of plays to the audience. It sounds horribly sort of elitist in some ways, but I think it’s important. I’m looking for a play that

entertains, but not only the laughs. It holds your attention, makes you think. It’s wonderful to have an audience go out of the theatre talking about the play they’ve just seen. Things they like, or didn’t like or didn’t understand.� So why open with Norm Foster? He laughs and says wryly, “I succumbed to the ‘Well, it makes a good season starter.’ philosophy. It’s a very funny play by a playwright whose name our audience will certainly recognize. Still, I would not have considered directing it unless I found the play entertaining and with something to say about the human condition.� But with only four actors playing the eight characters that appear on stage, Old Love is a difficult play as well as an entertaining one, presenting a challenge for both actors and director.

ever, is experienced in both disciplines. He spent a number of years with Tara Players in Ottawa as both actor and director, and since he came to Perth five years ago, he has performed in A Month of Sundays, You Say Tomatoes and The Christmas Express, and he has directed The Importance of Being Earnest, The Mousetrap, I’ll be Back Before Midnight, An Inspector Calls, and Opening Night. And he is of course, like all members of Studio Theatre, thrilled with the renovations to the physical theatre, particularly the installation of an elevator. Now, all entertainment here is accessible to everyone, whether mobility challenged or not. Old Love runs Sept. 12, 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. with matinees Sept. 15 and 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance, from the Book Nook in Perth,

Candles: If you use candles, make sure you keep them away from all combustible materials. Never leave them unattended and place them out of reach of young children. Candles should be placed in solid, secure candle holders and protected by a glass chimney.

To paint or not to paint: There’s the rub Lifestyle – If there really is anything more inevitable than death and taxes in the automotive world it has to be dents/ scrapes/scratches or any other variety of battle scars that effect our prized wheeled possessions. I always thought car retailers would be doing their customers a favour if they offered to inflict the first chip/ding/pockmark on a new car before it left the lot. After all, it’s bound to happen, and until it does, car owners sweat and fret over every parking spot, driveway maneuver, and fast-food drive-thru cringing if someone even comes close to their pristine beauty. But repairing the imprints of life on the road or in the parking lot doesn’t have to be major event or even cost an arm or a leg or a bumper cover. Do you need to fix it? Small scratches that look terrible when they’re fresh can fade into oblivion with age and their disappearance can be quickened with little effort. If the scratch isn’t deep enough to expose the primer paint coat or bare metal or easily catch your fingernail, try a little regular car-wax before dragging out the spray gun. Avoid coloured or tinted waxes. What’s underneath can matter. If a stone chip or small dig is in the paint of a bumper cover or other exterior non-

ferrous trim, chances are good that there won’t be any rust associated with the damage. If the mark isn’t on a steel panel, or noticeable, leaving it alone might be the best bet. Touch-up paint sticks work best on stone chips and small short scratches. The trick is not to try to completely cover the mark in one application. Apply the paint in several layers, letting each one dry before brushing on the next. A few weeks after the last coat has dried, wipe the mark with a little wax and polish it off and the mark will be leveled off and almost imperceptible. If it’s a bigger mark, but not in the middle of a large panel such as a door or hood, an air brush in the hands of an experienced detailer can avoid a trip to the body shop. Dents that don’t require paint repair can be the easiest and most convenient to fix. Paintless dent removal services R0012255016_0815

are plentiful in our region and other than the major cost savings over a traditional body shop job, and the perks to the environment due to the lack of spray painting, the best feature can be that most of these wrinkle wizards are mobile and will come to your home or office to do the job. They can massage deformed metal back into its original condition in many cases, by means of forming tools applied to the back of the damaged panel. If you’re looking for a reference as to quality, ask the dealership you bought your vehicle from. All auto retailers use this service and will be happy to supply a testimonial to their preferred ding king or queen. As a general rule if the dent has sharp creases or is close to the edge of a body panel, paintless repairs might not be possible, but many of these professionals urge potential clients to forward pictures by email if they’re not sure if the damage is repairable outside of a body shop.

News – Together with partner veterinarians and municipalities, the Health Unit is offering the community rabies vaccination clinics throughout the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Counties. The rabies vaccination clinics will be held on Sept. 11 and 18. Check out the locations where you can get your dog or cat vaccinated against rabies: www.healthunit.org/rabies/rabies_clinics_2013. pdf. The goal of hosting these clinics is to help provide rabies vaccinations to as many cats and dogs as possible. Your dog or cat must be vaccinated against rabies. It’s the law! It is important that pet cats or dogs remain up-to-date with their rabies vaccination as they too could be at risk of getting rabies. For more information, contact the Health ACTION Line at 1-800-6605853 or 613-345-5685 and ask for a public health inspector, visit www.healthunit.org/rabies or like us on Facebook at LGLHealthUnit.

IN MEMORIAM WALKER- In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather Delbert Walker who passed away on August 16, 1983. In tears we watched you fade away, Our hearts were almost broken, You fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping So peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back, to suffer that again. Though your smile is gone forever, Your hands we cannot touch, But we have so many memories, Of the one we loved so much, Your memory is our keepsake, From which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping And we have you in our hearts. So those who have a husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, Cherish them with care, Because you’ll never know the heartache Until you see his empty chair. Sadly missed and forever remembered by wife Doris, daughters Marjorie and Merle, sons Charlie, Harold, Tim and Randy, ten granddaughters, six grandsons, thirteen great grandchildren.

IN MEMORIAM MCLAUCHLAN, David William- In loving memory of our dear son who passed away August 16, 1998. He is gone, but not forgotten, As it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of you are always near, To us you were so special, What more is there to say... Except to wish with all our hearts that you were here today. They say that time heals everything But we know it isn’t so, Because it hurts as much today, As it did fifteen years ago. Sadly missed and lovingly remembered by Mom and Mike.

MILLAR, Scott John – Dec. 17, 1969 August 16, 2006 Hello there! There are days that without warning your accident seems like yesterday. Seven long years now we have been missing you. December 17 will mark your 44th Birthday and this will be yet another one we miss celebrating with you. We miss sharing our days and nights with you. We miss your jokes and your great sense of humour. We miss talking with you. Memories are great; they are all we have left of you. They remind us of all the wonderful times we shared. At the same time, they let us not forget how much we are missing you. Looking at pictures of you, of us with Wyatt, I realize those moments are captured forever. The sad part is that present and future pictures taken now, Wyatt and I grow older, but without you in them. Just another thing we miss. Sometimes I can’t catch my breath because I miss you so much. I daydream and think what we would be doing at certain times during the day. What our family would be doing together. The feeling of missing you will always be there. We miss your loving hugs that made us feel safe. Scott, you were far too young when you died. We had started our family and were making plans. We were all so happy. Life is so fragile and death takes that wonderful life away forever. We are left behind filled with heartache and missing you always. Love remembers, it will never forget. We miss you with both our hearts. Lots of love, Sharon and Wyatt xxxooo xxxooo

Premier Kathleen Wynne visits Lanark County By AMY HOGUE

News – Crop issues, weather patterns and challenges facing young farmers were among the topics up for discussion during Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne’s whirlwind tour of the Lanark County agricultural region on Tuesday, Aug. 6. Wynne, in her capacity of the Minister of Agriculture, visited several area farms and agricultural centers during her tour, spending her afternoon visiting at Panmure Farms, on Upper Dwyer Hill Road before moving on to the Canadian Cooperative Wool Growers in Carleton Place and finally ending at Janet and Robert Campbell’s egg grading station, Rosecamp Farms. Rosecamp Farms is situated on 360 acres just outside of Balderson and operates

Premier of Ontario and Minister of Agriculture and Food Kathleen Wynne was in Carleton Place last Tuesday, Aug. 6. She participated in a tour of Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers Limited (CCWGL), witnessing a sheep shearing demonstration. It was the first time since the co-operative opened in 1918 that the province’s head of government has visited the premises. CCWGL grades and markets close to three million pounds of raw wool each year. Pictured, from left: CCWGL president Dwayne Acres, CCWGL general manager Eric Bjergso, Wynne, Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and Coun. Rob Probert. A number of topics were up for discussion (crop issues, weather patterns and challenges facing young farmers) during Wynne’s whirlwind tour of the Lanark County agricultural region Aug. 6.

an egg production operation with approximately 16,000 laying hens, producing 1,300 dozen eggs daily. During her visit, Wynne took part in a tour of the farm and visited the grading station where she participated in the egg sorting and stacking process. Campbell’s daughter, Stephanie Campbell, was also on site during the visit and is the eighth generation of farmers at Rosecamp Farms. Kelly Baker, press secretary for the Premier, explained that Wynne is looking for more information about what she can do to strengthen the agricultural sector and create jobs. Throughout her tour in the area, she visited with different sectors in the agricultural industry, including beef farmers, maple syrup producers and hemp growers. Of particular interest to Wynne is the future of farming in Ontario and the next generation of farmers. During her tour, Wynne said she was pleased to meet with several young farmers. “I’ve been on a number of farms today where kids are, and it’s encouraging,” Wynne told Bill Dopson, Lanark County Warden during a discussion at Rosecamp Farms. Following a tour of Rosecamp Farms and the egg grading operation, Wynne participated in a round table discussion with young farmers from the area, to get a better sense of the issues surrounding agriculture in Ontario. Wynne’s day ended with a gala dinner at the Civitan Club in Perth.

The municipality will finance the costs associated with the removal of the current seating and the installation of stadium seating, which is expected to be approximately $13,000 to $15,000. “The seats will be installed right after the Labour Day weekend,� said Clarke. The cost of regular and yearly maintenance is estimated to be $7,500. Clarke explained the hockey club is upgrading its existing projection show, installing six 50-inch flatscreen televisions in the stands. “The televisions could bring in advertising revenue for both the town and the team,� he said. “This money could help offset the maintenance costs associated with the new seating.� During the town’s policy review commit-

YARD OF THE WEEK Holy Name of Mary Roman Catholic Church 134 Bridge Street, Almonte

The Yard of the Week judges have decided to include one non-residential property in Mississippi Mills every year. We’re pleased to select the gardens in front of Holy Name of Mary Roman Catholic Church and Manse as our ďŹ rst property and we’re certain that these tidy and wellbalanced plantings are a source of pride to the church congregation. Anne Ryan has gardened here for nineteen years and Rene Poirier maintains the lawns. The harmonized plantings on both sides of the church entrance include urns of red geraniums that carry through to the side beds. The front beds contains purple petunias and shrubs of evergreen and euonymus as well as many perennials including hostas, day lilies, purple coneowers, rudbeckia, blanket ower and daisies. Many of these perennials are native plants preferred by pollinators. Stone retaining walls that hold the beds in front of the Church and Manse add to the appeal of the location and a welcoming bench on the lawn beside the church accommodates weary pedestrians. The garden demonstrates sound environmental practices with the use of landscape cloth and mulch. We also noted the attractive and accessible public entry to the ofďŹ ce at the back of the church.

County’s top cop hangs up his holster after 30 years ficers,” said Salisbury. Salisbury will be staying in the area he first moved to about 16 years ago. “We were made to feel very welcome,” he said. Back then, there were only 24 officers in the Perth detachment, but then, “it evolved into a huge detachment. It amazes me…it is a hidden gem of a detachment, (where) people look forward to coming to work,” he said, growing to include seven police services boards, three other municipalities, and three detachments, in Perth, Carleton Place, and Sharbot Lake. “It has gone by like it is nothing,” said Salisbury. “I know that this is going to (tick) off other commanders (but) this is the best detachment in the eastern region, bar none.” As for his own future, while he does admit that golf is certainly in the cards, he plays his cards close to his chest saying that he has “different pokers in the fire.”

News – Insp. Gerry Salisbury, detachment commander for the Lanark County OPP, looked nothing like the grizzled 30-year veteran you see in police action movies, narrowing in on his final arrest, with just one day left until retirement. Firstly, his last official day on the job will be in late October, making this past Monday, Aug. 12, his last working day on the job. “I have accomplished every goal I had set when I came here,” said Salisbury, looking even more calm and relaxed than normal, dressed formally, but not in his trademark white police shirt and black pants, sitting on a cozy interview room likely used for children, with stuffed toys in cubbies nearby. Not surprising that he chose this room for one of his exit interviews, of sorts, since, with his ever-present smile, he is wont to put one at ease. “I shocked everybody and put in my letter,” said Salisbury, who will be turning 51 later this year. “I am leaving on a high note.” The move came shortly after a county police services board association meeting this past June in Mississippi Mills which set out the rules under which Salisbury’s successor would be chosen. But, at that time, Salisbury was not considering leaving the post he had held since 2001. That came later in the summer. “I went through two weeks of sleepless nights to make the best decision for my family,” said Salisbury of the decision he made about a month ago. “There was no ah-ha moment, so to speak…you have to seize the opportunity,” he said, echoing the quote that accompanies all of his work emails: “You can’t change what happened yesterday, but you can affect what happens tomorrow.” Already, across the hall, as his temporary replacement, Stephanie Patterson busied herself with paperwork in what would become her of-

But he is also ready to see what the future holds in terms of the new leadership for the OPP in Lanark and Frontenac counties. “It’ll be fun to see the new person come in with some new ideas,” he said. A native of Kingston, he graduated from police foundations program at Loyalist College in Belleville. He was stationed with the OPP unit in Toronto’s Downsview neighbourhood, patrolling provincial highways like the 401 and 404. In 1985, he had a homecoming of sorts, moving back to Kingston for 11 years, working in fields as diverse as collision reconstruction, criminal investigations, coaching nine probationary officers, and travelling all over the province as a critical incident commander, dealing with the likes of hostage situations. In 1996, he became a sergeant in Kirkland

News – To help maintain a healthy environment, it is important to keep waterways clean. Last year, using only his hands and a rowboat, Carleton Place resident and volunteer Doug Snedden removed an astonishing number of items from the Mississippi River within the municipality’s limits. At the time, he said: “Protecting water at its source is the first step in ensuring that every Ontarian has access to safe drinking water. By stopping contaminants from getting into sources of drinking water – lakes, rivers and aquifers – we can provide the first line of defense in the protection of our environment and the health of Ontarians.� Snedden was at it again last Monday (Aug. 5), removing 45 tires, one steel frame, two office chairs, one lawn chair, one scooter, one broken paddle, piping, plastics, cans and more.

“The river is looking much better this year,� he told good friend Coun. Gary Strike in an email. Some litter ends up in the water accidently. Other times it enters the water by people being irresponsible. An additional cleanup happened in the deeper areas of the river over the weekend (Aug. 10 and 11). The haul: 37 tires, one oversized truck tire, three pieces of aluminum siding, one lawn chair, one office chair, two kitchen tables, one rubber hose, three shoes, one town barrier, 90 cans, 35 bottles, six garbage bags, one tarp, one 12-foot piece of plastic, one soccer ball, one toy fish pail, two five gallon plastic buckets, one plastic guide wire cable guard, an aluminum teapot, one hub cap, one vehicle fender, one blanket, one lawn chair cushion, one computer shell, one life raft paddle and a large assortment of miscellaneous plastics and broken glass. “There are a number of items that I will attempt to remove at a

Litter releases toxins into the water, blocks natural drainage (contributing to stagnant ponding and flooding), traps wildlife and so much more. Snedden’s efforts were deemed “fantastic� by Strike, going above

and beyond what most volunteers would or could do. The municipality would end up paying thousands of dollars if a company was contracted to do the job. Strike called Snedden an outstanding citizen. “On behalf of the Town of Carleton Place, I would like to sincerely thank you,� he added.

Community – The focus on the August Flower & Vegetable Show of the Almonte & District Horticultural Society on Saturday, Aug. 24 will be on hot colours with sizzle. This event will be held in the lower level of the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in the same gallery as the gorgeous tapestries of Maximo Laura of Peru, so the floral designs have titles such as “Hot Flashes� and “Salsa Sizzle� to compliment his work. Everything from miniatures to landscape designs will test the originality of our exhibitors. There are five photography classes as well with titles such as “Sunsets� and “White Hot�. The entries arrive between 10 a.m. to noon, are then judged and

the public can view them from 2 until 4 p.m. Extra produce will be for sale and members will be on hand to answer questions. Since the flower and vegetable show falls on the same day as the Highland Games, some people might want a change of scenery and could visit the show for an hour or so. Admission is free. The following Monday (Aug. 26) at Cornerstone Community Church, the regular meeting will start with a potluck featuring delicacies from member’s gardens at 6:30 p.m. Then there will be two slide shows – the 2012 Convention in Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Floriade exhibition in Holland.

Lake Ont., before becoming a staff sergeant at the Perth detachment in 1998. He was made an inspector in 2001. While television police procedurals often hone in on the big cases that make or break a cop as he or she looks back on their career, for Salisbury, it is the people he has helped point in the right direction that really stick in his mind. “To see officers develop has been one of the best things to see,� he said, beaming. “That has been the most re-

When asked what cases he remembers investigating that he is most proud of – a bad guy brought down, an injustice corrected, a kitten rescued from a tree – he admits that “you’ve got me stumped. I wish I could answer the question,â€? but then, as he thinks on it further, he returns with an answer. “All of the searches we’ve had for missing persons, that’s the most rewarding thing, when we find that person‌when you can return someone home to their family,â€? he said. “That

is the piece de resistance. Sometimes it all works out,â€? he said, though he admitted that, sometimes, the missing person is not brought home alive, but, that too gives the family closure. But regardless of how searches turn out, “I couldn’t be prouder of the officers I work with because they never quit‌I never asked people to work for me, I’ve asked them to work with me.â€? The last major initiative he dealt with was merging the OPP with the Perth Police Service last year. “That was the last major thing,â€? he said. “That wasn’t a goal, to take over

As with most other retirees, he is looking forward to being able to spend more time with his family, including his son, who recently became a volunteer fire fighter with the Perth fire department, and his daughter, who works at a Maberly restaurant and volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. As for his wife, “she’s been the rock behind it, keeping me grounded. Without her, it wouldn’t have been as much fun. I wouldn’t have done it without her.

Policing is a tough job now, and it always has been.� After the interview, outside taking some photographs, ever the police officer, he totes up some clues that literally pass him by about what he will be doing next that day, another welcome delay in packing up his office. Even a rookie fresh from the academy could see by all of the officers and civilian staff, some of whom should be on vacation, walking by with food and treats, that some manner of celebration was in the offing back inside the building to wish him a fond farewell.

Council considers Middleville subdivision questions after Aug. 6 meeting News – Following the outcome of an Aug. 6 Committee of the Whole meeting in Lanark Highlands, it appears another public meeting may be in the cards for the Middleville subdivision. Margo Fulford, representing an ad hoc group of concerned community members, made a presentation to the committee, outlining her group’s concerns for the proposed development. “We wish to make it clear that we are not trying to stop the subdivision from happening,” Fulford read from a six-page document presented to committee. “We want to be assured that when this subdivision happens, it is the best that it can be for the community and all procedures are correctly followed.” The subdivision has been proposed for a 108-acre parcel of land located east of the hamlet of Middleville. The applicant, Jeff Jackson, submitted his subdivision proposal to divide the property into 40 lots between two and

four acres in size. Neighbours and members of the community concerned about the proposed development first attended a public meeting in March of this year to learn more of the development. Since the application was submitted to Lanark County, the proposal has been circulated among commenting agencies and the Township of Lanark Highlands for comment. Fulford listed off the main concerns of her group, namely concerns with the following of procedures, adherence to the township’s Official Plan and the overall expense of the development versus additional taxation revenue. Fulford suggested the municipality undertake a detailed cost-benefit analysis to determine if the development would result in any additional tax revenue for the township. Another concern raised by Fulford was the developer’s offer of cash in lieu of public space. Subdivisions developers have the option of offering monetary compensation as opposed to leaving a section of

the divided property for community use. Fulford pointed out the current lack of community areas in the Middleville community. “The developer is offering cash-in-lieu of public space, in an area that has no playground, no ball-field, no public trails. Under these circumstances is council prepared to accept cash in lieu?” Fulford went on to point out that if a public space is provided within the subdivision, a safe sidewalk should also be provided to allow safe travel between Middleville and the development. “Will there be another public meeting to address these concerns?” Fulford asked the committee, in closing. Rob Wittkie, planning administrator/deputy clerk, confirmed the information provided to the committee by the delegation and the answers to their questions would be available to the public by contacting him or checking the website. Deputy mayor Brian Stewart said he felt the questions and

Business – Nominations are now open for the 2013 Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce Business Awards of Excellence. Do you feel that you or someone you know has made a difference in the community? If so, we want to hear from you. Applications are now being accepted for the 2013 Chamber Business Awards of Excellence. Business/Business Person of the Year Award This award will be given to a business that has been operating for 10 years or more. The nominee has demonstrated excellence

in business operations including financial management, environmental practices, viewed as a business leader, customer service, sales and marketing, strong track record of community involvement and support. Community Involvement Award This award will be given to a company that has demonstrated outstanding leadership in community service through organized programs involving employee and management engagement – the organization will have an established reputation for a high level of involvement in com-

munity support projects, internal social responsibility programs and have demonstrated participation at the community level with both employees and management in community projects and fundraising efforts. Excellence in Customer Service Award This will be given to an organization that consistently demonstrates a high level of commitment to customer service and satisfaction – the candidate demonstrates a commitment to customer service over a prolonged

answers should be made available to the public in a more accessible format. “I’ll definitely be supporting another meeting,” Stewart said, adding that he’d like to see a report containing the questions and responses that have been submitted to date. “I’d like to see that report come back to the Committee of the Whole for further discussion.” Wittkie suggested that once all information is received it could be made available to the public at another committee meeting or at a public meeting held

in the evening. Following Fulford’s presentation, Tracy Zander, planner for the developer, addressed the committee. Zander explained that a recent MDS recalculation necessitated the redrawing of the subdivision plans, requiring the restructuring of the lot sizes and locations, but did not alter the design significantly. Zander provided the committee and those present at the meeting with a sneak peak at the new, revised plans. The new plan features one entrance and exit and a circular interior road,

but the number of lots remain unchanged, although some of the lot sizes have been resized. Zander told the committee that the last two months had been spent doing fieldwork and working on the hydrogeological terrain analysis that will then be recirculated to commenting agencies. “Everyone wants answers now but those who have been through the subdivision process know it can take a shocking amount of time,” Zander told the committee. “All the answers are coming but I can’t give you a timeline.”

EDITORIAL

Sochi boycott well-meaning, ill advised Editorial – To go or not to go? That is the question, but the answer should be to go. This is not to say that we don’t appreciate that members of the gay and lesbian community want the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia to be boycotted by nations that respect or, at least, tolerate, gay rights, and, in their best hopes, move the games back to Vancouver. While we would love to relive the glory days of the winter of 2010, there is little to no chance of that move being made. We also greatly sympathize with our gay brothers and sisters, and add our voice in protest against the monstrous Russian law that prevents, what it calls, “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations,” to minors, and even penalizes people who express their views in favour of gay rights online or elsewhere in the media. The bill was signed this past June and also prevents people from even discussing gay rights. It essentially outlaws being openly gay, and imposes jail time of up to 15 days for for-

eigners, followed by deportation, for breaking the law. Already, a number of voices are calling for a well-meaning, but shortsighted boycott of the Russian games based on this monstrous law. Star Trek actor George Takei, who played Lt. Sulu, along with British actor and writer Stephen Fry have called for a boycott. U.S. President Barack Obama has said that he has “no patience” for countries that discriminate against gay people. (However, neither Obama nor British Prime Minister David Cameron support a boycott). Our own Hayley Wickenheiser, captain of Canada’s women’s hockey team, told the CBC that the Olympics is “about acceptance, so it kind of goes against everything that the Olympics are about. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.” As we have seen so often in the past, Russia only cares about Russia. Witness its decision to arm the murderous Assad regime in Syria, and its belligerence at the recent G8 summit in Northern Ireland, just to name a few. International pressure seems to have little

influence within Russia’s borders. Sadly, demonizing a small minority has been a useful scapegoat for Russia’s czars in centuries past, something Russian President Vladimir Putin is finding out to his benefit. The idea of boycotting Olympic games is nothing new. Following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan on Christmas Day, 1979, western nations decided to boycott the Moscow Olympics in 1980. The Communist Warsaw pact countries followed with a tit-for-tat abstention from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. The Seoul, South Korea games were boycotted by North Korea and Cuba in 1988. But the only ones hurt by the boycotts, really, were the athletes. Those who had trained for years only to miss out on what, for some, might be their only opportunity to reach the Olympic stage, in 1980. Then, in 1984, with their worthy adversaries cooling their heels thousands of miles behind the Iron Curtain, many western athletes still felt cheated – that the Los Angeles

games were somehow not “real” Olympics, that they won only because the bar had been lowered way, way down. One only has to look at Canada’s Olympic medal count, and see how it jumped way up in 1984, only to flutter back to earth four years later, to see why the athletes of ’84 feel as though there is an asterisk beside their medal win. What if there had been a boycott of the 1936 Berlin Olympics? Yes, the world would have made a valid point against Hitler’s evil regime. But that likely would not have stopped Hitler’s plans to dominate Europe and beyond. And by going to the Olympics that year, a young African-American named Jesse Owens, the grandson of a slave, through sheer athleticism, buried Hitler’s notion of an Aryan “master race,” by winning four gold medals. Hmm. We wonder if there is room on the U.S. basketball team for the National Basketball Association’s first openly gay player, Jason Collins? That’d show the Kremlin.

COLUMN

Bad memories stirred up Opinion – Although I’ve been living in Carleton Place since 1996, my hometown is St. Catharines. Known for its overabundance of parks, gardens and trails, the largest municipality in the Niagara Region carries the official nickname of The Garden City. Sadly, however, St. Catharines is known for another reason, and it’s something residents will never, ever be able to run away from. Just the mere mention of Paul Bernardo’s name stirs up so many emotions. He is the serial killer and rapist convicted in 1995 of kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering teenagers Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy in St. Catharines (1991 and 1992). His accomplice: wife Karla Homolka. Homolka’s baby sister (Tammy) died a year earlier, choking on her own vomit, after being drugged by her sister and sexually assaulted by Bernardo. It was Christmas Eve in 1990. Bernardo received life in prison and a dangerous offender designation for his vile crimes. After a 25year mandatory term (2020) he is eligible to apply for parole. Homolka was released from prison in 2005, following a 12-year sentence in exchange for a guilty plea for manslaughter. More than two decades later the impact of the former couple’s sins can still be felt in St. Catharines – possibly the country. Two weeks ago I was back home vacationing, which was around the same time Bernardo put in another request to be moved to a medium security prison and out of isolation. Unbelievable! People were livid! During an outing to the hair salon, I overheard one couple discussing the killer’s application. They strongly felt Bernardo should rot to death in solitary confinement. For the last 18 years he has lived in an isolation cell (for his own protection) at the maximum

security Kingston Penitentiary. This fall, however, the federal government is closing the aging Tara Firma penal institution. Luckily, Bernardo won’t be enjoying a transfer, according to Steven Blaney, the federal minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. Almost certainly, he will join fellow murderers Russell Williams and Michael Rafferty at Quebec’s Port-Cartier Institution, another maximum security facility. Rafferty was convicted in 2012 (life in prison with no possibility of parole for 25 years) of the murder of Tori Stafford. Williams, a former air force officer, was sentenced in 2010 (life imprisonment) for burglary, forcible confinement, sexual assault and murder. Other dangerous and notorious criminals who have called the Kingston Penitentiary home: Clifford Olson (deceased), Wayne Boden (deceased) and honour killers Mohammad and Hamed Shafia. Monsters like Bernardo and the chilling memories of their crimes will continue to torment victims’ families – as well as the rest of us. I still remember the terror in our city. Everybody’s lives changed significantly. St. Catharines’ innocence was lost. Today, Homolka is a mother of three (two sons and a daughter), married to the brother of her longtime prison lawyer. Her family resides in the Caribbean. When people learn that I am from St. Catharines they always bring up the Bernardo and Homolka slayings. This is frequently followed by the question: Did you know them? Only a handful of my new friends know the answer. If you have any comments or questions for Tara Gesner, she can be reached by email at: tgesner@ perfprint.ca.

Lifestyle – My neighbour had a beautiful Scarlet Tanager in their yard July 25. While talking with her on the phone, a family of five raccoons were busy trying to get into the feeder. The youngsters were not quite big enough to manage. Hope Sylvia was able to take their picture. A friend who moved from the country into Almonte, is disappointed that only American Robins visit her yard. The next day, Ray Holland called from home, in Pakenham ward. Great news regarding the Red-bellied Woodpecker family. There are now five of them: a female and four males, all busy feeding in the maple trees.

to Constance Creek, near Dunrobin, along Thomas A. Dolan Parkway, marsh birds were very active in the early morning. My husband Cliff came with me. We watched two Great Blue Herons, a Least Bittern, many Wood Ducks, and at least four Common Moorhens. Surprisingly, four American Bitterns were standing along the edge of the creek looking for prey. Two Osprey flew overhead, and a male Belted Kingfisher rattled from the fence line. In the distance, we heard a White-throated Sparrow

calling. Two families of Mallards swam in amongst the water lilies. We tallied 24 species of birds. Three days later I returned and was surprised to see more twigs and sand bars visible there. One more sign of our dry summer. There were four Great Blue Herons, one Common Tern, two Osprey sitting on their nest on a hydro pole by the road, a female Kingfisher, two Blue-winged Teal, and more than 10 Wood Ducks. No shorebirds or Moorhens, that Georgina Doe and I hoped to see. Two Turkey Vultures soared above us, and two American Goldfinch came to drink at the water’s edge. We saw only 12 species this day. When I returned home, a Barred Owl called from our west woods. Please call Lynda at 613-2565013 or email bennett@magma.ca with bird reports.

Mill Street’s Hello Yellow store open and ready to sell local, handmade goods kkent@perfprint.ca

Business – Yellow is a colour that calls to mind sunshine, daffodils, springtime. Now Almonte residents can associate the colour with Mill Street’s newest store. Hello Yellow held its grand opening July 26, allowing people to glimpse the bright, cheerful store behind the walls of yellow balloons in the window fronts that held locals’ curiosities for days. Hello Yellow is a general gift store offering everything from jewelry and candles to printed scarves and home dĂŠcor items – but there’s a difference between this gift shop and all the other similar shops on Mill Street: all of the products available at Hello Yellow are made in North America. “It’s really important to me to support local entrepreneurs like myself,â€? said Emily Arbour, the store’s owner. Many of the products featured in the store come from the Ottawa Valley, Ottawa and Montreal, though some of the items are from Vancouver or small time companies in the United States. Arbour, 34, used to own Blackbird, another gift shop just up the street from her current store. She owned Blackbird for five years before passing it onto its current owner so she could focus on her two small children, Clementine, 4, and Griffin, 2.

The store features handmade products all crafted in North America, including items from the Ottawa Valley. Above centre, Hello Yellow’s counter is fronted with a button collage that Arbour crafted herself. Above right, handmade items like jewelry, pottery and candles are sold at the shop. “I’ve always really liked crafting and handmade things,� she said, “and I always wanted to have a shop that was dedicated to handmade products.� So in May of this year she started the process of creating Hello Yellow in an available space where the travel agency used was housed at 72 Mill Street. She painted the interior with clean neutrals

and filled it with handmade things that she would love to have in her own home. “Many of the makers are moms like me,� she said. “Every item has a story behind it of where it came from and the person who made it.� There’s a bit of a story behind the store’s name as well. Arbour has a back-

ground in advertising and marketing, and wanted to create a name that was inviting, bright and fun. “I’ve always loved the word ‘hello,’� she said. “It’s obviously a very inviting word, but I always wanted something really catchy.� She chose “yellow� because it fit the bill: it’s a bright, happy and creative

colour and, when paired with the word “hello,� it became a catchy and memorable name: Hello Yellow. A crafter herself, Arbour created one of the focal pieces in her store. Mounted on the front of the shop’s counter is a large collage of buttons, which she painted white and placed behind glass. The word “hello�, written in her logo’s script, has been painted on the front, encompassing her store’s theme perfectly. It’s a showcase for beautiful, original handcrafted items. Arbour is also one of the brains behind the Handmade Harvest, which is held twice a year in Almonte to celebrate local emerging crafters. Another hat she wears is her involvement in Small Town Thinking – a business that does community building activities and produces the locally themed shirts called Almontees (http://almontees.com). In the future, Arbour hopes to have a website to sell her goods online and to host creative workshops, where participants can learn to make jewelry, Christmas ornaments or similar crafty things, from either herself or the makers of the store’s products. “It’s been amazing,� she said. “We had almost 600 likes (on Facebook) before we opened, and I’ve been busy all week.� More information can be found at their Facebook page or their up and coming website at www.hello-yellow. ca.

Community – Planes, trains, trucks and automobiles don’t get very far without fossil fuels. But if Thane Heins has his way, all those vehicles will continue to travel great distances, but without gas and with new technology developed by the Renfrew native. Heins says he is forming a partnership with a Turkish company to form a spin-off company called Poetry In Motion, for the commercialization of Heins’ own company, Potential Difference Inc. If contract milestones are realized, Heins says his company stands to make $12.5 million. The plan is for Poetry In Motion to commercialize PDI technology for electric vehicles, wind turbines, hydroelectric generation, and other motors, generators and transformers. PDI, the company Heins founded in 2005, is the driving force behind creating a technology that could affect the world as the advent of the telephone did more than 100 years ago. A proud Renfrewite who has lived in Almonte the last several years, Heins says he wants to tell his home community about his budding success. Many Renfrew residents know Heins as a chef, the former owner of the Old Towne Hall Restaurant or a candidate in provincial and federal elections. Heins signed a contract with a Turkish company, which wishes to remain anonymous for now, while working to develop prototypes Heins expects will be able to run 450, if not 900 or more, kilometres on Heins’ regenerative acceleration generator (Re-GenX) Technology. If this technology is successful in normal-sized cars and trucks, Heins says his life will change dramatically. “I’m going to go from a guy who hasn’t had a pay cheque since 1999 to a freakin’ multi-millionaire, assuming the technology works in their car,” says Heins of the Turkish company. One of the first milestones of the contract is to deliver a working prototype within six months. A prototype has already been developed in a scooter, but it has only 1/30th of the kilowatt power of a car. To date, Heins says his wife Kim has invested more than $200,000 in the project, while other investors have provided about $400,000 in support in kind. Re-Gen-X Technology, says Heins, now allows electric vehicles to partially recharge their batteries as they drive without the decelerative effects associated with regenerative braking. The exact final magnitude of recharge capability has not yet been determined, but he says 76 per cent recharge capacity has already been established. His research in the field of flywheel energy storage was done in collaboration with Dr. Paul Allaire at the University of Virginia’s Rotating Machines and Controls Laboratory. After a successful demonstration at the renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the research continued at a University of Ottawa satellite lab in 2008. PDI’s technologies were further developed and refined under the supervision of Dr. Riadh Habash in the University of Ottawa power lab in 2008, 2009 and 2010. The technology, if it becomes a mainstay in the car and truck industry, will mean the end of fossil fuels as a major energy source for cars and trucks, and maybe trains and planes too. At the same time, Heins says fossil fuels definitely have a place in the modern world, as he points to the many products made by fossil fuel, among them asphalt, shingles, plastic products, golf balls and fertilizer. Electric cars now on the market rely on a rechargeable lithium battery that depends on an unsustainable resource, says Heins. “Our technology allows for conventional batteries to be used.”

The plan is for the Re-Gen-X motors to be manufactured in Almonte, and other locations, and for the electric vehicles to be built in Turkey. Meanwhile, Heins says interest in his technology has been expressed by such organizations as NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), the Russian Academy of Science, the National Research Council, the United States Air Force, and the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Science.

Finding comfort in music; song by local artist gaining praise By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

News – Not everyone can write a tune that touches so many people. Ottawa Valley Troubadour, Lyle Dillabough of Carleton Place continues to receive praise for his melody Face Your Sorrow. “I wrote this song in March of this year,” he said in an interview with the Canadian Gazette last week. “I was actually taking a shower when it hit me, started to come to me.” The musical artist stepped out of the shower to write the first verse. “I was soaking wet,” Dillabough said, “but such was the inner drive to get it down on the paper.” The recording of Face Your Sorrow (on June 12 at Manikin) was produced by another local singer/songwriter – Kirk Armstrong. Manikin is Armstrong’s home studio in Carleton Place. “Lyle played the song two or three times,” he said. “It wasn’t a long-drawnout thing for us. My job is to get it down with as little hassle as possible.” Armstrong has worked with Dillabough before, producing the recording of two other songs: You Are the Most Beautiful Thing and I Still See You in Dreams. “He is a less is more kind of guy,” he said. Armstrong played bass on the recording. Dillabough explained that Armstrong, “an exceptional producer,” understood Face Your Sorrow had to be recorded in a certain way that would allow the true impact of the song to come through in the finished product. “Kirk understood why I needed to do

The recording of Face Your Sorrow was produced by another local singer/songwriter – Kirk Armstrong. Armstrong (seated) and Dillabough listen to the song. it,” he continued, “as well as why it was all very frustrating to me.” The finances weren’t readily available to record the song, and Dillabough felt the tune – somehow – was being thrust or forced upon him. He could feel the resentment rising from deep inside. Face Your Sorrow is different from other tunes Dillabough has authored. “Different in the intensity to have it written, recorded and put out there at this time,” he said. “It’s almost like someone’s putting a gun to my head to do this. It just has to be done now for some reason.” “I know it sounds weird,” the troubadour continued, “but that’s just the way it is, and I won’t get any peace unless I follow the plan.” Following the distribution of Face Your Sorrow, Dillabough started hear-

ing from people. “One individual told me that their friend was dying from cancer at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto,” he said. “When she heard the song she was deeply moved, taking much comfort and inspiration from it.” A radio announcer suggested Dillabough make Face Your Sorrow available to bereavement groups. A woman from Elliot Lake whose husband passed away suddenly heard the song recently. She immediately contacted the musician to offer her heartfelt thanks. “She said it was so needed,” he said. Face Your Sorrow is currently being played on area radio stations, including CJHR-FM in Renfrew, CHCR-FM in Killaloe, CKCU-FM Ottawa and CHIP-FM in Fort-Coulonge, Que. A number of appearances are lined up

for Dillabough later in the month, including the Irish Gathering in Killaloe (Aug. 17-25) and Trainfest in Smiths Falls (Aug. 24-25). Dillabough told the Canadian Gazette that he “fought” writing the song right from the start, in addition to the notion of recording it, because he gets a bit “sucky” sometimes about the course of his life. “I like to argue with the big guy, as I like to call him,” he said. “Call it God, the universe, fate, destiny or whatever, but I certainly believe in it. After all this time I know that something guides me. I couldn’t have made it this far on my own!” Dillabough moved to Carleton Place in 1981 at age 21. He has overcome several obstacles during his 53 years, including depression, anxiety and an addiction to prescription drugs. “For although my life has been very interesting, perplexing, wondrous, mysterious and gratifying at times, it has always been a deep struggle for me and a very painful journey,” he said. Dillabough said that Face Your Sorrow touches people because it’s sincere and real. “This is how I feel and have felt, and I suppose folks can hear it in the lyrics and my voice,” he said. “It’s genuine!”

Strength comes when you just let go And learn what it takes to live

Hopes and dreams Dillabough is hopeful Face Your Sorrow finds its way, reaches its destiny and does what it’s supposed to do. “Sales and money, doesn’t really matter to me,” he said. “Sure, I’d take it, but it’s not the main thing or driving force behind my efforts.” “Although material things might make life a bit easier, I realize it can’t buy me the peace of mind that I have always so desperately sought,” Dillabough continued. “Peace of mind is the continuous carrot that leads me on. Keeps me going forward is another way of describing it.” Dillabough has an extremely versatile background: singer/songwriter, producer, promoter, writer, broadcaster and humanitarian. “I have worked in the fields of pastoral and palliative care, which has been very rewarding,” he said. “My life has been interesting. I like to say that I don’t have a career, I have a calling.” Dillabough began singing professionally at the age of 17 (1977). He has performed with many greats: Mac Beattie, Ron McMunn, Ray Materick, Murray McLauchlan and more, and worked with the likes of Arlo Guthrie, Touching words Valdy and Lynn Miles. Sample lyrics for Face Your Sorrow Earlier in the year (Feb. 27), he was are as follows: presented with the Queen Elizabeth II “Rise up against your sorrow Diamond Jubilee Medal. Stand tall and face the pain “At this point in my life there isn’t Cause there will always be tomor- much that gives me a thrill,” Dillabough row said. “It’s all about connecting with And your heart will love again others now. It’s about finding my way home, and these little miracles serve to Rise up against your sorrow show me that I’m on the right path. I’m Life’s bitter tasting gift on the journey home.”

Ride for Dad receives two cheques local donors kkent@perfprint.ca

News – They’re a hard sight to miss when they come riding through Mississippi Mills, drawing attention to themselves with shiny metal, flashy framework and rumbling engines in the way that only 1,600 motorcycles could – and effectively accomplishing their goal of raising awareness of prostate cancer with Ride for Dad. Ride for Dad is an organization that aims to not only raise awareness of prostate cancer, but also to collect funds for research and testing. Recently the organization received donations from the Almonte Citvitan Club and Levi Home Hardware.

The cheques, one for $1,200 from the Civitan and one for $300 from Levi Home Hardware were presented to Rick Bright from the local Ride for Dad branch, and Jim Summers from the national branch in an informal ceremony. “We’re always so happy to receive any funds that people would like to send our way,� said Summers. “Any little bit helps.� The Ottawa Valley ride, which was held on June 1 this year, begins in downtown Ottawa and continues towards Kanata and then out to Almonte. From there the 1,600 riders travel to Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Merrickville and Kemptville. “It’s quite a show,� said Summers. “It’s a big event that gathers a lot of attention. People come out to watch us and cheer.�

The Almonte Civitan Club raised their $1,200 donation by hosting a barbecue at the event, which they do each year that Ride for Dad passes through the area. The donation from Levi Home Hardware was just that – a small donation to assist the cause. Ride for Dad was started in Ottawa and is now a national that sees thousands of bikers raise funds and participate in group rides to help the fight against prostate cancer. The first event, held 13 years ago in 2000, saw just 80 motorcyclists; today, the largest event, which happens to be the Ottawa event, can see upwards of 2,300 participants. So far, Ride for Dad has raised $11 million to put towards research and awareness for prostate cancer.

Young people experiencing area thanks to Northern Youth Abroad program By PATRICIA LEBOEUF pleboeuf@metroland.com

The differences between the Canadian north and south can be jarring, but Rosemary Rowsell and Jacqueline Gon wouldn’t trade the experience for the world. They pose between host sisters Kerin, left, and Dana Hudson, right. living on a pig farm. “I got a sunburn for the first time,� said Rowsell with a laugh. Watching the sun set at 9 p.m. was also a shock to girls used to the midnight sun. So was the discovery that people

living below the 60th degree have so many activities to choose from. “They have things to do all the time,� said Rowsell. “Us, we are isolated. Our towns are small. “We don’t get to drive where we want

to go,� she added. “We have to fly.� They share a home with their host parents Bruce Hudson and Elizabeth Prentice-Hudson and host sisters Dana, 21, and Kerin, 18. They may all live in the same coun-

News – The painful heat of the Ottawa summer is the first thing that greeted Rosemary Rowsell and Jacqueline Gon as they walked onto the Kinburn farm they would call home for the next few weeks. Both girls left their home up north to participate in a cross-cultural experience, teaching their southern hosts about their culture and learning what life is like in Ontario. The experience comes courtesy of the Northern Youth Abroad (NYA) program, which allows young people from up north to see how their southern counterparts live. Rowsell is an 18-year-old Inuit girl from Cape Dorset, Nunavut while Gon, 20, grew up in Behchoko, NWT and is Thcho. Both girls had to get used to the radical shift in temperatures since they are used to summer temperatures hovering between 7 °C and 20 °C. So it was quite a shock to experience sweltering humidity and scorching sun, particularly while

try, but traditions, culture, landscape and food is foreign to each other. “I think the north is almost a forgotten part of Canada,� said Kerin. “We pride ourselves on being the Great White North and stuff and in reality we don’t know it that well.� The girls agreed with the assessment. “When I go out from the north and I met new people, they always ask me odd questions like, ‘Do you live in an igloo?’ or ‘Do you pet (polar) bears?’� said Rowsell. She admits almost ruefully that she once slept in an igloo as a special occasion, but “we don’t build them as often as we used to.� Neither girls mind the questions and relish the opportunity to share their culture and traditions with people. Both have distinct traditions. Rowsell demonstrated ancestral Inuit throat singing while Gon shared videos of traditional Thcho dances and social mores. “In my culture, women are not al-

Put your Puppets Up! Community – Puppets Up! International Puppet Festival had another successful year as the streets filled with both local residents and visitors to take in the puppet shows, vendors and of course, the parade on both Saturday, Aug. 10 and Sunday, Aug. 11. Above left, Puppets Up! mascot Nick leads the parade down Mill Street and waves to the thousands of spectators gathered on the sidewalks. Above right, children enjoy the variety of puppets that join their puppeteers as they parade down the street. Left, live music leads the paraders and give the event a lively and fun flair. Right, Mayor John Levi and his puppet self join in the festivities, riding along with the parade in a car. Far left, many different performers and their puppets join the parade, from professionals in colourful costumes to locals who had brought their own puppets. Middle top, puppets of all shapes and sizes were available for purchase at the festival including these Disney themed ones. Middle bottom, performers, not just puppeteers, were welcome to join the parade. Here a woman dances her way down the street. Right, a few different dragon puppets found themselves at the Puppets Up! parade, but none were as fierce as this black one. Below, thousands of spectators enjoy the festival, filling the usually quiet street.

lowed to touch the drums,” said the 20-year-old. “Only the men are allowed to touch the drums. I’m not even allowed to touch a stick. We are not allowed to step over the men’s clothing or try on their hats.” For Inuits, only the women are allowed to throat sing, but many men do try it for fun in private, admitted Rowsell. Nutrition up north is radically different. Much of it is prepackaged and costs at least two or three times what it does in Ontario. “I like that most of everything we eat is from their garden,” said Gon. “In the north we can’t grow fruits and vegetables because we have permafrost and it’ll probably die.” The transition into the host family was relatively smooth. There is no rivalry or anger between the surrogate sisters and they all enjoy dinners together as well as group excursions. “It’s definitely a different experience than what we are used to,” said Dana. “We are used to

having a large amount of people in the house, but they are a lot more quiet and shy than what we are used to. So sometimes I feel that we are being too loud than what we are used to but I am enjoying it.” “We kind of just let them do what they want,” she added. The Hudson family grew up with an interest in the northern sphere, learning about the culture and attending events. The opportunity to host the girls was a treat. As part of the program, the girls had to take on volunteer work placements as well as complete several tasks such as mowing a lawn, getting the mayor’s signature and riding public transit The jobs the girls have undertaken directly collaborate with their future jobs. Gon is volunteering at the Almonte Country Haven and enjoys the opportunity to listen to all the elder’s stories and hear their advice. “They like talking,” she said. “They don’t show it but they do.”

Her experience has taught her to be patient and listen carefully to those who don’t always have as loud a voice. When she returns home, she will return to her job in Yellowknife as a project support worker with the Aboriginal Healing Foundation working with residential schools survivors. Northern Youth Abroad The NYA program allows young people from 15 to 16 to acquire hands-on professional skills through cross cultural work either in southern Canada or abroad. It gives them the chance “to experience a different part of Canada then we are used to.” To apply, the girls had to send in their application in October. Competing with more than 200 others, they had to prove their mettle by completing more than 30 different assignments, writing letters, fundraising for their trip and collecting cultural gifts for their host families. They arrived in Ontario on June 26 and are returning Aug. 12.

Sports – The Naismith 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament saw a good turnout from both teams and spectators on Saturday, Aug. 10. Half courts with just one net were set up on the closed-off Bridge Street at the Almonte and District Community Centre and teams played tough but friendly games for most of the day. From left: a member of the Fighting Pandas goes for the net during their late-afternoon game; teams were split into various divisions at the tournament to keep skill levels even. This men’s game was high-energy and fast-paced; and a female participant keeps her eye on the prize. Photos by KELLY KENT

Mississippi Mills fire department Arnprior sells plow truck to Mississippi Mills part of Project Assist for second year By PATRICIA LeBOEUF pleboeuf@metroland.com

By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

Community – Enbridge Gas Distribution has partnered with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council to help the Mississippi Mills Fire Department purchase and participate in firefighting training programs through Project Assist. A presentation was made to fire chief Art Brown and mayor John Levi from an Enbridge representative at the Mississippi Mills council meeting Aug. 6. The initiative, called Project Assist, is supported through the Safe Community project and provides Ontario’s volunteer fire departments, specifically

in areas where Enbridge operates, with additional training and funding according to a release. A $100,000 donation made in May of this year will be split between 20 Ontario fire departments, including the local Mississippi Mills departments. The funds will go towards purchasing materials to enhance life-saving firefighting techniques to help our community be a safer place. This is the second year that the Mississippi Mills fire department has been a part of the Enbridge Project Assist program which randomly chooses communities to participate. “We’d like to thank Enbridge for their support and look forward to continuing our partnership in the future,” said Brown.

News – With a goal of maintaining neighborly ties, Arnprior is selling its old plow truck to the Town of Mississippi Mills. It will be sold for $12,000, which is an adequate price for the value of a used vehicle of this make and model.

With the purchase of the new 2013 International plow and salt truck, the older 2001 model became surplus and the town was approached regarding its availability by the municipality of Mississippi Mills. Maintaining an alliance with nearby towns is positive as Arnprior may one day need help from its neighbours, said mayor David Reid.

Community – Five concerts held at Augusta Street Park in Almonte wrapped up with their final show on July 31. The shows were held to raise awareness of the work that has been done to rejuvenate the park. Left, a large crowd gathered to watch the performers, bringing lawn chairs or settling on blankets laid on the ground. Middle, new community gardens at the park are filled to bursting with kale, tomatoes and lettuces. Far left, burgers and drinks were sold at the concerts, raising a small amount of money to put into the park. Bottom right, the future plan for the park includes a splash pad and a walking or jogging trail.

Canica Design leader in development of medical devices

Business – From the start, Standards Council of Canada (SCC)-accredited certification has helped Almontebased Canica Design Inc. go global with its innovative surgical products. “Being certified really helps eliminate trade barriers and has certainly opened doors in most of the countries we’ve targeted,” says Canica president and chief executive officer, Alden Rattew. Since its inception, the eight-person organization has been certified by SCC-accredited SGS United Kingdom Ltd., a leading global inspection, verification, testing and certification company. SGS certifies Canica to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 Quality management systems – Requirements and ISO 13485:2003, Medical Devices – Quality management

systems – Requirements for regulatory purposes, among other standards. “I believe that certifying to internationally recognized standards is important,” says Rattew. “I’m very pleased that standards such as ISO 9001 have evolved to require continuous improvement. It’s no longer just about consistency; it’s about building continuous improvement into the company’s processes and products.” Unique medical devices Continuous improvement is at the core of Canica’s unique medical devices. Surgery patients and hospitals alike are reaping time and cost benefits from these products. “Our surgical devices are eliminating patient wait times of up to 16 months for See CANICA page A/CP22

certain types of reconstructive surgery following the primary abdominal surgery,” says Rattew. Some 20,000 US patients, along with their Canadian and international counterparts, stand to annually gain from Canica’s abdominal wall closure system. The Almontebased organization, founded by Ottawa’s Leonard Lee – owner of Lee Valley Tools – could, for instance, help US hospitals and patients save tens of thousands of dollars per surgery each year. “Canadian and overseas hospitals and patients can also benefit,” says Rattew. “Another one of our key surgical products, DynaCleft, is greatly improving life for infants born with cleft lip by making surgery easier and by yielding optimal results.” Eliminating trade barriers

In 1998, Lee decided to create the spin-off company when an Ottawa-based plastic surgeon created a custom scalpel out of a woodcarving knife he had purchased from Lee Valley Tools. Today, Canica sells its niche products to the US, Europe and other overseas markets, as well as domestically. Exporting is vital to Canada’s economy, accounting for close to 40 per cent of our nation’s GDP in recent years, according to Industry Canada’s Key Small Business Statistics – July 2012. Canica is one of some 38,000 Canadian companies that export annually. In 2010, about 86 per cent of Canadian exporters were small businesses, according to Industry Canada. Small businesses were responsible for $77 billion (25 per cent) of the total value of exports that year – averaging $3 million per firm. Medium-sized busi-

nesses accounted for $52 billion (17 per cent) of Canadian exports, averaging $14 million per firm. Demonstrating competence However, given the increasing level of competitiveness and growing number of complexities in conducting business internationally, exporters’ challenges have risen accordingly. “Particularly for smaller-sized exporters, establishing credentials with global customers is critical to their success,” says SCC’s vice-president, accreditation services, Chantal Guay. “Complying with standards is necessary for many industry sectors.” Accreditation by SCC demonstrates recognition that organizations such as SGS have met the relevant nationally and internationally recognized standards and criteria required for doing business

in a given market, and that they are competent to provide conformity assessment services. These bodies can then certify to these standards and help manufacturers gain a competitive global edge. “SCC-accredited certification offers vital third-party conformity assessment to Canadian organizations of all sizes,” says Guay. “This assessment is recognized as a means to reduce trade barriers, which is why SCC is a member of the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC).” Both IAF and ILAC promote the mutual recognition of accreditations and certifications worldwide, strengthening consumer confidence in products from different economies, and in the components of

those products. “As well, an important requirement in most management system certification standards is the need to ensure that products and services obtained from suppliers are compliant to certified management systems,” says Guay. She points out that in some export markets and regulated geographic regions, the end consumer – whether for government, regulatory or market-driven reasons – has chosen to only accept SCC-accredited certification. “SCC is the accreditation program these consumers have confidence in,” says Guay. “We are a signatory to several international mutual recognition and multilateral agreements, and we recognize that accreditations granted by other signatories are equal to our own.” Future vision Looking forward, Export De-

velopment Canada’s (EDC’s) April 2013 global export forecast indicates that Canadian exports will rise eight per cent this year. According to EDC, in 2014, our nation’s exports will increase by an additional five per cent, and Canada’s export growth is expected to benefit from the resurgence in our largest trading partner, the US. Guay says that to help Canadian organizations continually tap into export markets, SCC’s Accreditation Services branch will continue to evolve its services to provide more value to its customers. “As an example, we are introducing a new quality management system (QMS), which provides a modernized, streamlined way to deliver our accreditation services.

Sports – The Carleton Place Canadians Junior A hockey team is extremely proud to announce the launch of its new-look website: www.cpcanadians.com. Jason Clarke, owner and head coach, said the website was redesigned with a stronger platform for social media integration in mind, in addition to improved video capabilities and photography, offering an enhanced user experience for fans and corporate and community sponsors. The website went live last Tuesday morning, Aug. 6, receiving 450 hits the first day. “Feedback has been great so far,� said Clarke. “We are really happy with the way it turned out.� During the 2012-2013 hockey season, the former Canadians website had 300,000 impressions. “And this was without any social media capabilities,� noted Clarke. Impressions track how many times a webpage or component on a webpage is viewed. Involved in the redesign of the site was Mike Cimilyan of Paradime. Clarke said the new website offers plenty: articles, team and alumni news, roster, photo gallery, pre-game and post-game interviews (video), newsletter signup, play-

The Canadians average 350 fans per game, and there are 29 home games. Playoffs, however, are a different story. Almost all of the team’s playoff games are sold out. The Canadians joined the CCHL four years ago.
