EMC News - Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) are still searching for answers after a young man was killed early Saturday morning on Highway 7 near Innisville in an apparent hit-and-run. Police say their investigation leads them to believe Benjamin Rogers, 18, of Tay Valley Township was walking along the highway when a large vehicle, possibly a transport truck, hit him. “A suspect vehicle has not yet been identified,” OPP Sergeant Kristine Rae told the EMC. So far, nobody has come forward. Responding to a body located on the highway – called

in by a passerby – police were dispatched to the scene (approximately 16 kilometres west of Carleton Place and 20 kilometres east of Perth) around 3:30 a.m. July 23. The highway was closed for several hours. A post mortem examination was conducted Monday (July 25), says Rae. The investigation continues as police try to put the pieces of the crash together. OPP asks anyone who drove on Highway 7 between Perth and Carleton Place between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. Saturday to call 613-267-2626 immediately. “We’ve received a few calls,” says Rae, “and they are all being followed up.”

Carleton Place councillor wants fluoride removed from drinking water By JEFF MAGUIRE
EMC Events - Carleton Place councillor Jerry Flynn is determined to see fluoride removed from the drinking water in Carleton Place and he’s hopeful local residents will join him in a campaign to end a practice he feels is harmful to human health. “There is just so much information out there now about the harmful effects of fluoride. I receive more information on a daily basis. And more and more places (communities) have decided to stop fluoridating their water,” Flynn told the EMC. He is urging Carleton Place residents and Canadians in general to “put pressure on their politicians” in an effort to end a program he is con-

vinced is more negative than positive. There are varying points of view of course, but Flynn is accurate when he says more and more communities are opting to stop putting fluoride in their potable water. A recent example is Calgary, one of Canada’s largest centres, which decided in February to end fluoridation. The council vote was 10-3 overturning a 1989 plebiscite which saw fluoride added to the city’s drinking water in an effort to prevent tooth decay. In Ontario the city of Waterloo decided last October to end the practice. Flynn, who won a second consecutive term on Carleton Place town council in last fall’s municipal election, admits his

Nine of those centres are in Ontario. Over the years a number of communities have also turned down initiatives aimed at introducing fluoridation. That means they have never put fluoride into their drinking water. Leading the list is Canada’s second most populous city, Montreal. Other cities include Gatineau, across the Ottawa River from the nearby nation’s capital and Thunder Bay, Ontario. Fluoridation first began in Canada 60 years ago. Health Canada statistics (last compiled in 2007) show 45 per cent of Canadians drink fluoridated water. The highest percentage of use is in populace Ontario (75.9 per cent in 2007). British Columbia shows a very low 3.7 per cent
while the Yukon and Nunavut Territories have no fluoride in drinking water. There is powerful support for the practice however. Dentists and official bodies including the World Health Organization and Health Canada contend adding the mineral to water protects teeth from decay. Health effects Opponents, including Flynn, have been swayed by information that fluoride is harmful to human health although that has never been conclusively proven. In Calgary a family physician, Dr. Robert Dickson, led that city’s successful antiSee WATER page A/CP3

personal determination hasn’t translated into support at the council table here. “The last council (headed by former Mayor Paul Dulmage) voted me down 6-1. I was proposing we investigate it. They didn’t even want to do that,” he laments. Flynn is now convinced the best way to end the practice is to get residents onside in his effort to ban fluoridation here. There is a large citizen movement in Canada to end the practice and Flynn says support nationally is growing. There is also a growing lobby in nearby Ottawa to take fluoride out of the city’s water. “There are now 36 Canadian communities that have quit fluoridating their water since 1990,” Flynn points out.

Local MP has honour of bidding farewell to royal couple By PHIL AMBROZIAK Staff Writer
EMC News – It was a responsibility of royal proportions. On Saturday, July 2, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor was tasked with bidding farewell to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Prince William and wife Catherine Middleton) as they prepared to board their plane to continue their Canadian tour, a visit which began in the nation’s capital June 30. “My wife and I had a chance to meet them as they were preparing to leave Ottawa,” O’Connor confirmed. “It was my duty to introduce them to the line of VIPs on hand and to officially say goodbye to them as they boarded their plane.” The MP went on to explain that, in major cities such as Ottawa, a member of parliament traditionally welcomes royal visitors in this manner while another minister sees them on their way at the conclusion of their stay. “In this case, (Ottawa West-Nepean MP) John Baird was there to greet them and I was the one to say farewell,” he said. During their time in Canada, the royal couple was scheduled to visit eight
H e r i t a g e
cities before departing the country on July 8. These included Ottawa; Montréal; Québec City; Charlottetown, P.E.I.; Summerside, P.E.I.; Yellowknife and Calgary. They also paid a surprise visit to fire-ravaged Slave Lake, Alberta. The recent visit was Prince William’s third to Canada, having been here in 1991 and 1998. It was the first visit to Canadian soil for the duchess. While O’Connor is likely to never forget his brush with royalty, it’s not the first time he’s had an opportunity to meet members of the royal family. “We also had a chance to meet the Queen and Prince Philip when they were in Ottawa last year and, years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Prince Charles,” O’Connor remarked. O’Connor, who currently serves as chief government whip and minister of state, served more than 30 years in the Canadian military. Prince Charles, he said, is the honourary colonel in chief of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, the minister’s former regiment, which is now based in Petawawa. It was during his time in the military that O’Connor met Prince Charles. He said it’s been an honour each and every time he’s met someone from the royal family. “My wife and I were
I n s t i t u t e
-
quite honoured to meet the young couple,” he continued. “They were both very charming people. When we met the Queen and Prince Philip, it was a little different because we met them at Government House; spoke with them there and then proceeded to the airport. This time, however, the duke and duchess came to the airport from a special function, so our time with them was shorter.” The MP concluded by expressing how much his wife likes the Queen and the entire royal family, reiterating how honoured they were to be on hand for the farewell ceremony. “It was an honour and quite a pleasure,” he said.

The Mason Theatre is located in the Perth and District Collegiate Institute, 13 Victoria Street, and the way in which director Laurel Smith has created an intimate atmosphere is really dramatic!

BDP’s opening show is Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream, but this is a Dream with a difference! Director David Jacklin has chosen to draw out the darker side of the tale. Shakespeare, David feels, has somewhat obliquely alluded to some deep-seated unrest - political unrest – amongst the mortals, and he has chosen to draw this out by setting the play in a more modern context. Show dates are the 5th, 6th, 11th, 12th and 13th at 8, and the 7th and 14th at 2. Tickets are $20 from Tickets Please, 39 Foster St, Perth, 613-485-6434, or www.ticketsplease.ca, or

Annual EBI 4-H showcase a remarkable event
EMC News – The 32nd anniversary of the EBI (Eastern Breeders Inc.) 4-H Showcase was by all accounts “remarkable,” states event organizer Paul Stewart. The two-day event, held July 2 and 3 at the Spencerville Fairgrounds, saw close to 150 4-H aged dairy participants from across eastern Ontario compete and put the 4-H motto ‘Learn to Do by Doing’ to work. This year’s event was held in conjunction with Holstein Ontario’s third annual Eastern Ontario Junior Show and was the first event for the newly-formed company EastGen. On July 1, EastGen became a reality upon the merger of the two member owned and governed companies EBI and Gencor. “Our goal was to build on the many successes of last year’s event to make the biggest and best 4-H Showcase event ever this year,” stated Stewart. “Early on in the event planning process, we decided to incorporate the expertise of past 4-H participants to help us. We invited four experienced past participants to be event pros. Our event pros lent their support whenever possible and played vital active roles in all of our many presentations and exercises. This concept proved to be immensely successful.” “The third annual Junior Show, which targets the youngest members (ages 10 to 13), saw 54 participants also play a more active role in our showcase agenda. It was great to see the older 4-H members mentor the younger members and on show day, it was very clear that the younger members had learned a great deal. 4-H Ontario, who joined the event formally three years ago, provided organizational support and coordination of our chaperoning,” he continued. Of added significance again this year, there were four priz-
reers in the dairy sector driving home the point that the opportunities are there for those that really strive for them.” The two shows ran simultaneously. Jason Smith of Lansdowne judged the Eastern Ontario Junior Show while Mike West of Orangeville judged the EBI 4-H Showcase. Directly following the showcase, points were tabulated from presentations, quizzes, showmanship and calf classes to determine this year’s aggregate Overall Champion. This year’s winner was Jill Brown of Enterprise, Ontario, Lennox and Addington County.

The 32nd annual Eastern Breeders Inc. (EBI) 4-H Showcase was held July 2 and 3 at the Spencerville Fairgrounds. This year’s aggregate overall champion title went to Jill Brown of Enterprise, Ontario, in the county of Lennox and Addington, above. es per class which included a jackpot prize for a deeppedigreed elite embryo generously donated by a local dairy breeder. Each of the eight embryos represented an opportunity for a 4-H participant to end up with progeny that could present limitless marketing opportunities locally, domestically and around the world. In every class, regardless of a participants placing, one 4-H member was going home with quite a prize. We also introduced an embryo silent auction for three embryo lots. Two of the three lots were bought by 4-H participants with all of the proceeds going back to support 4-H events. EBI wants to thank and recognize the following breeders for their generosity and support of our youth and EBI’s 4-H Showcase: La Ferme Gillette, Embrun; Brilea Holsteins, Cobden; Gleneil Farms, Dalkeith; Ferme Frederic Ltd., Plantagenet; Glengarry Stock Farms, Apple Hill; Bobasyl Farm, South Mountain; Red-
lodge Farms Inc., Finch; Winright Holsteins, Winchester; Cherry Crest Holsteins & Murrayholm Farms Inc., Martintown; and Penlow Farms, Almonte. Well over $10,000 worth of prizes were up for grabs this year. “It is rewarding to know that our many sponsors share a commitment to our youth. The values, strength of character and leadership skills that are fostered by 4-H and events like ours will ultimately develop our industry’s leaders of tomorrow,” Stewart commented. “For example, the Eastern Ontario Junior Show organizer (Holstein Ontario Field Specialist Kris McLeod) was a past participant of our event as was one of our two event leaders (Candace Black, past EBI-Atlantic Overall Champion) and our four event pros: Kelsey Mode (Vankleek Hill), Kyle Rivington (Carp), Corey Dickson (Joyceville) and Ryan Corrigan (Eastgen Sales Specialist).

People First of Lanark County observes anniversary By TARA GESNER Staff Writer

Recognizing People First of Lanark County’s fifth anniversary, members of Carleton Place council pre-
sented Kory Earle, the organization’s president, with a special certificate last Thursday night (July 21).
“Kathy is an amazing person,” says Earle. “Her dedication and commitment to People First of Lanark County is second to none. She inspires me. We work as a team to put people’s needs first.” As well, PFoLC presented the Town of Carleton Place with a five-year certificate for its wonderful support, and nearly all members of council were in attendance last Thursday. Mayor Wendy LeBlanc was one of the evening’s guest speakers. “It has been a pleasure to watch this group grow – from taking its first baby steps to now making an important difference in the community,” she says. “You have worked to meet your goal of being treated as people … first.” Council presented PFoLC with a special certificate, along with congratulations and best wishes for the coming years. Janet Kent – who has been a member of PFoLC since the very beginning – was presented with a Best Wishes Award. With her mother (Sharon

EMC News – More than 100 people gathered at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 192 in Carleton Place July 21 to help commemorate People First of Lanark County’s (PFoLC) fifth anniversary. “The Legion was packed,” says Kory Earle, PFoLC president, “and it (celebration) was more than I thought it would be.” To boot, the Town of Carleton Place declared last Thursday People First Day. The festivities at Branch 192 included a slideshow, speeches and awards, and Brenda Hurrle, former executive director of the United Way of Lanark County and Mississippi Mills councillor, was the evening’s emcee. PFoLC, since 2006, has represented area residents with disabilities, and has served the communities of Lanark County. “I have worked hard on behalf of people with disabilities, to ensure they get to live a life with dignity and respect,” says Earle. He asks everyone to make a pledge to not use the word “retard” (the R-word), as it is very offensive and can be damaging to people. In the past, Earle was judged, bullied and called the R-word, which left him feeling suicidal, and undermined his self worth. “We still have a lot of work to do,” he says. “Going forward we will continue to educate people.” In addition, PFoLC promises to carry on and “be the voice” for everyone that needs assistance. “Our doors are open to anyone who might need help or just someone to talk to,” says Earle. “People First of Lanark County is proud to be part of this community.” Awards Each year PFoLC honours a person, organization or business for their major commitment to the local chapter. This year PFoLC’s office administrator Kathy Seguin was recognized for her hard work and dedication. She’s been with the organization for three years.

She explains the Mills was looking to partner with a group outside of the developmental services field to do some advocacy work, “and our natural choice was People First of Lanark County, as we share the same goals, values and beliefs: equality, speaking for ourselves and making our own decisions, education, inclusion, a community where everyone belongs.” Other speakers included Upper Canada District School Board Trustee Anne McRae.

Joan Perkins retiring after 28 years at Lanark County Interval House By SARAH BINGHAM
EMC Lifestyle - Joan Perkins has seen a lot in her 28 years of dedicated service to Lanark County Interval House, “My association with the shelter has shaped my life in a very positive way. And the lives of my family too. My children were introduced to the idea that violence against women existed at a very young age through my work.” So it is with mixed feelings that she greets her retirement next week. After nearly three decades of working at the shelter as the Volunteer Coordinator and Shift Relief, Joan says she will deeply miss the connection she has with the staff, clients and especially with the volunteers who make such an important contribution to the agency. It has been Joan’s extraordinary respect and obvious admiration for the volunteers that has created the incredible group of over 110 volunteers who support the shelter, many of whom have been at it for more than a de-
cade, some even more than two decades! As one of the founding members and former staff of the shelter, Fern Martin notes, “Joan was a perfect Volunteer Coordinator. She cared for the volunteers in many ways - remembered birthdays, sent condolences on the deaths of loved ones or congratulations on the births of babies. Her contributions to pot luck meals were memorable works of art - as well as being tasty. And she was always perfectly dressed - especially when she selected her ensemble from the As Good As New Store! I enjoyed every minute of working in the same office as Joan. She truly cared for all.” Joan’s theory on why the volunteer program at Interval House is so successful is a bit more humble as she downplays her own role saying that over her years here she has seen time and again how “volunteers get such a sense of pride, a feeling they are doing something to help battered
Interval House women and their children. It can be the best, most rewarding and fulfilling experience of their lives.” But shelter staff know just how much Joan’s special brand of magic has given to the shelter for the last 28 years. Many things have changed over the years. When Joan was still in nursing, before joining the shelter in 1983, she saw a lot of abused women. But it was never named that. No one labelled it as violence against women, in fact, no one spoke of it at all. Now there is so much more awareness and education about abused women, and yet, the violence hasn’t ended. But Joan has never lost her conviction that there is still hope. Her passionately delivered message today to abusers, “We will win!” One thing that has never
changed is Joan’s ability to inspire others to think. Chair of the Board of Directors of Interval House, Amy Nadeau recalls, “I have been involved with LCIH since I was 13 years old. When I decided to become a volunteer, Joan did my volunteer interview. She was the first person to ever ask me ‘what does feminism mean to you?’. In a world where words had been defined for me my whole life by parents, school or society, Joan asked me to define this word for myself. It was great to have the chance to think about that and answer for myself. Over the years I have continued to define that word and what it means for me in my life but I know that my first opportunity to do so, was given to me by Joan.” While Joan admits she
will miss working at the shelter, she speaks of her future plans with a smile and excited twinkle in her eye. With five grandchildren, a garden that calls to her, plans to assist with therapeutic riding, a commitment to get back to her church involvement, and an energy level most would envy, she will never be short on adventure. Despite Joan’s impending retirement, she leaves behind an indelible impression on the shelter, it’s staff, clients and volunteers. Executive Director, Erin Lee-Todd sums it up, “Her contribution to the evolution of LCIH has had far reaching impacts. Her legacy will be honoured always.” All of the staff, board of directors and volunteers of Lanark County Interval House express their gratitude for Joan’s dedication, commitment, and years of service. Shelter Needs: In true fashion, Joan couldn’t let this interview pass without seizing the opportunity to make one final
volunteer request: the shelter is in urgent need of volunteer drivers and has opportunities for volunteers at the As Good As New Store. Please contact the shelter at 613-257-3469 x27 to volunteer.

Living a healthier life beyond cancer subject of new program EMC News - The Canadian Cancer Society will offer the new Living Well Beyond Cancer program in Perth starting Sept. 21, for post-treatment cancer patients and their caregivers who strive to live a healthy life. This popular program is based on the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program researched and developed at Stanford University. If you are a post-treatment cancer patient or caregiver, Living Well Beyond Cancer may be for you. Nadia Herrera, a past participant in Ottawa, enthusiastically endorses the program: “The action plans, activity logs and nutritional journals are a great idea because they helped me deal with symptoms and side effects! The relaxation, communication and positive thinking tools…help me understand and handle my emotions and fears.” This free program is conducted as a 2 1/2 hour workshop held weekly for six weeks, and is led by two trained Stanford-licensed peer leaders with a cancer or caregiver experience. The
highly interactive sessions are designed to help people posttreatment gain confidence in their ability to control their symptoms and live the best possible life with a long-term condition. Skills are taught to support day-to-day living beyond cancer treatment, and to maintain or increase life’s activities. Living Well Beyond Cancer will address: techniques to deal with the psychosocial aspects of cancer, appropriate exercise for maintaining and improving strength, communication and healthy eating. You will learn how to: • manage symptoms, treatment side effects and medications, • work with your healthcare team, • set goals and make plans to achieve goals, • solve problems and handle difficult emotions. The program will be offered for confirmed registrants at the Canadian Cancer Society Perth office at 201-105 Dufferin Street (behind Wendy’s on the north side of Hwy. 7) from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., starting Wednesday Sept. 21
for six weeks. Registration is mandatory as space is limited. Contact the Perth office at 613-2671058 or 1-800-367-2913 to register or for more information. The Canadian Cancer Society fights cancer by doing everything we can to prevent cancer, save lives and support people living with cancer. Join the fight!

EMC Events - The community of Rideau Lakes is pleased to host the second annual Sailpast and Salute honouring Admiral Kingsmill will take place on Saturday, July 30, 2 p.m. at Hanna Park on the Big Rideau Lake shoreline of Portland village. The public is invited to participate either with their boat in the afternoon’s sail past event or by coming to Hanna Park before the event to enjoy the historical display, live music by the Grindstone Cowboys, artisan displays/ demonstrations, and corn on the cob and soft drinks supplied by the Girl Guides. It is a great place to bring a picnic lunch or to follow up the boat parade on the lake with a chicken barbecue (eat in or take out) from the nearby Portland Community Hall. The barbecue begins at 4:30 p.m. sharp. Be early as they may sell out fast. The sailpast event will focus on: • Recognizing Admiral Kingsmill’s achievements in founding the Royal Canadian Navy in 1910, his naval leadership for many years resulting in the installation of his historic plaque near Portland during the naval centennial celebrations last year, and his summer residency on Big Rideau Lake; • Recognizing Portland’s great local history; • Recognizing Big Rideau Lake’s fabulous opportunities for boating; • Encouraging family fun ashore and on Big Rideau Lake. The Admiral Kingsmill Sailpast and Salute will consist of a long line of a variety of local boats sailing past a dock at Hanna Park in Portland village where a stand-in and costumed Admiral Kingsmill will take the salute from the “Big Rideau Lake Fleet” as it passes.

Don’t catch this wave EMC Editorial - When it comes to our weather, be careful what you wish for. Those of us who griped about the cool, damp spring may likely be the same people complaining about the unprecedented heat wave that struck all of Ontario and beyond this month. But while we may want to poke fun at those complainers at times, the oppressive heat and humidity is no joke for those who may already have a pre-existing condition. The Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit says everyone can be at risk – especially when the mercury hits 35 Celsius with a humidex reading of 47. But the elderly, people with chronic illness, infants and preschoolers need to have as limited exposure to the elements as possible. In issuing a heat warning during last week’s tropical blast, the health unit also provided some useful reminders to ensure everyone stays safe. Some key points include: • not leaving children, adults or pets in parked cars or sleeping outside in direct sunlight, • consulting one’s doctor or pharmacist regarding the side effects of one’s medications, • drinking plenty of water and 100 per cent fruit juices throughout the day, even if one doesn’t feel thirsty. Remember to take sips often and not to guzzle your drink, • eating foods that have high water content such as watermelon, grapes and oranges, • avoiding drinking alcoholic beverages, coffee and cola, • avoiding going out in the blazing sun or heat when possible. If one must go outside, stay in the shade as much as possible. Plan any necessary outdoor activities in early morning or evening, • whenever possible going to an air-conditioned room or building, including shopping malls and libraries, • keeping window shades or drapes drawn and blinds closed on the sunny side of the home. While the mercury is no longer in record territory, based on the summer to date the same issues could arise at anytime. For more information, visit the health unit website at www.healthunit.org.
It takes a lot for Father to come apart at the seams EMC Lifestyle - My sister Audrey said it was a blessing none of us could understand German. Because when Father was provoked, really provoked, he let off a slew of swear words we all knew he wouldn’t repeat in English! Now, it took a lot to provoke Father. Mother said he was the most patient man in the world. Often he would have to fix a flat tire on the old Model T Ford three or four times just on a trip into Renfrew, but he never seemed to lose his patience. And I thought the most monotonous job in the entire world was circling the big 20 acre field hundreds of times walking behind a plow. But Father never complained. It was just a job that had to be done, and that’s all there was to it. The endless job of cleaning out the barns, milking the cows twice a day, and feeding the pigs, never got a complaint from Father. He was one to keep his feelings to himself. But when he got provoked, really provoked, we all knew what would happen. First of all, he would let out a slew of German swear words, which Mother tolerated because none of us knew what they were. So
no one paid any attention to them. On more than one occasion, for instance the time the cows broke down the fence in the barn yard after he had spent three days putting it up, he walked over, never said a word, but bit the stem of his pipe right in half. We knew then, he was really provoked. He never took it out on the cows, though. He just set to work rebuilding the fence, which took another two or three days. Yes, he sure was a patient man, just like Mother said he was. But he could lose his patience when it came to Emerson’s or Ronny’s pranks, although then he did little more than chew on his pipe, and shake his head. But one day, that wasn’t enough to satisfy his impatience. It was a blistering hot day in the middle of the summer. Father had spent several days mowing hay. It had been raked, stooked and left in piles around the fields. Then the stooks were forked onto the big flat bottomed wagon and pulled into the barn yard by the team of horses. The wagon was drawn up on the side of the barn where

a small door opened near the roof, and the horses untied from the wagon. Through a combination of pulleys, and one rope hanging loosely down from the little door in the barn, a hay fork hung. One horse was hooked up somehow to these ropes holding the hayfork, hay was clamped from the pile on the wagon, the horse ordered to move ahead, and the hayfork full of hay was slowly raised up to the little door opening into the hayloft of the barn. It was Everett’s job, since he was the oldest of the brothers, and certainly the most dependable, to stay in the hay mow and once the fork full of hay was eased into the loft, a rope was pulled, opening the hayfork releasing the hay. Everett had to keep moving the hay to the back of the loft, continually making room for what was still to be hauled up off the wagon. It was a hot and hard job, and

monotonous, as the exercise was repeated until the wagon was empty and ready to go back in the field for another load. It was when Father and Everett were heading back to the field that day, with the team for more loose hay, that the trouble began. Emerson and Ronny were supposed to be raking up any hay that had fallen off the wagon and make it ready to be hauled up into the hayloft when another load was returned. Queenie, the old nag that was used to pull the hay off the wagon and into the loft, with this series of ropes and pulley was almost asleep in the heat of the day. She stood with her head almost to the ground waiting for the next load and her contribution to getting the hay in the mow. She wasn’t much good for any hard work on the farm. Walking back and forth, pulling up the hayfork was about all

she was able to do without getting what was known back then as the heaves. Well, no one knows if it was Emerson’s idea or Ronny’s. But they thought it might be fun to ride the hay fork up into the hay mow while they waited for the next load to come from the field.. One would straddle the fork, and the other would urge old Queenie to walk back and forth, hauling the one on the fork upwards. Neither lad considered that their bodies were much heavier than the soft hay. Emerson thought he should be the first to go since he was the oldest. He straddled the fork lift, and Ronny nudged Queenie awake, and taking a hold of her bridle urged her onward. Emerson got about three feet off the ground, when the pulley left the framework of the barn, the ropes snapped, and the whole operation came to a pile on the ground. Well, that was the day Father lost his patience! Really lost his patience. He looked at the pile of ropes and the fork, Queenie chewing the hay that had yet to be raked into a pile, Emerson and Ronny were nowhere to be found, and you didn’t have to

have a university education to know what had happened! I was watching from the cement pump stand where I was playing jacks, and I saw Father stand and look at the mess for a full five minutes. Then he took off his old straw hat, flung it to the ground, and proceeded to jump up and down on it until it was as flat as a pancake. He let out a slew of swear words in German, and this time they were mixed in with a few choice ones in English. Father wasn’t much for strapping us kids. He left the discipline up to Mother. But that day I was sure Ronny and Emerson were in for it. But by the time he and Everett finished reattaching the pulleys to the barn above the little door, threading the ropes in the right places and hooking it all up to the hayfork, he had no energy left. They left the wagon, loaded with hay in the middle of the barn yard. Father picked up his hat, tried to punch it back into shape, but it was beyond repair, and another slew of German swear words came spieling from his mouth between clenched teeth. We all remember it as the day Father finally really lost his patience!

Henderson wins Optimist International junior championship By STAFF
EMC Sports - She’s done it again. Smiths Falls’ Brooke Henderson captured the Optimist International Junior Golf Championship for girls aged 13-14 over the weekend. The 13 year-old fired a cool 71 (-1) in the final round and finished the three-day tournament at -2, a total of 214, edging out Lu Daniela Uy of the Philippines by one stroke. Henderson, who has captured several junior titles here in her home province this summer, opened the championship, played at PGA National Resort & Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with an even par round of 72 on Saturday, July 23. That left her in third place, three strokes back of Kaho Moni Matsubara of Singapore who fired a blistering three-under-par 69. She was back on even terms with Matsubara by the
end of Day 2. A one-under 71 combined with her rival’s 74 left them tied heading into the final day of competition on Monday, July 25. Teeing off at 8:40 a.m. on the Haig Course along with a trio of international players including Matsubara (Singapore), Uy (Philippines) and Sofia Goicoechea of Argentina, Henderson had the round of the day, matching her previous day’s 71 to emerge victorious. Matsubara finished two strokes back after a 73 while Goicoechea, who entered the final round one stroke back of the leaders, finished three strokes off the pace after shooting a 73. On Tuesday of this week, Henderson was paired up with Tim Gillespie of Hepworth, Ont., to represent Canada in the two-person team event known as the Optimist Golf World Cup.
A total of 20 countries were represented in the 18-hole single-day tournament including the U.S.A., Australia, Argentina and Venezuela. According to the Optimist Golf World Cup website www.optimist. org, it’s a best-ball format. A playoff would only be needed to decide first place. Earlier last week, the Smiths Falls youngster found herself at Olympia Fields Country Club in Illinois where she competed in the U.S. Junior Girls (U19) championships. She qualified for the Round of 64 Match Play event by finishing well over the first two days of stroke play July 18 and 19. She fired rounds of 75
and 78 to finish at +9, good for a tie for 50th. Matched up against 14th seed Summar Roachell of Arkansas last Wednesday, July 20, the two were all square through nine holes. But Roachell pulled away by winning back-to-back holes (10 and 11), then held on for the win 3 & 1. The champion of the stroke play event – Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand – also captured the match play tournament as well. She maneuvered her way through six rounds of head-to-head competition, defeating Dottie Ardina of the Philippines in the final 2 & 1 on Saturday. Submitted photo

Health unit monitors water quality EMC News - The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit has once again begun weekly water sampling of the area’s public bathing beaches. The beaches will be monitored weekly throughout the summer season, July 1 to Sept 2, 2011. This year the following public swimming areas will be monitored: In Lanark County: Almonte Beach, Dalhousie Lake, Centennial Beach, Riverside Beach, Lanark Beach, Pakenham Beach, Rideau Ferry Yacht Club, Robertson Lake Beach, Smiths Falls Sr. In Leeds and Grenville: St. Lawrence Park, Lyn Valley Conservation Area, South Crosby Beach, Portland Campbell Street Beach, Foley Mountain Beach, Camp Hyanto, Joel Stone Beach, Kendrick’s Park, Lower Beverley Township Park, Bellamy Park, Kelly’s Beach, Merrickville, Westport Sand Lake
and in radio reports. Research has shown that where swimming beaches have a high E. coli level there is a direct relationship with an increase in ear, eye, nose and throat infections in swimmers. The bathing beach will remain posted until test results indicate that
the water quality meets the bathing beach water standard. Posting information is available on the Health Unit website www.healthunit.org/ water/test/beach_results.htm or by calling the Health Action Line at 1-800-660-5853 or 613-345-5685.
345029_0721
Five water samples Every week a total of five water samples will be collected from each beach. The results will then be analyzed for the presence of E. coli (Escherichia coli) bacteria. If the results exceed the bathing water standard of 100 E. coli, the beach will be posted with a “WARNING: Unsafe for Bathing” sign indicating that the level of bacteria in the water may pose a risk to your health if you choose to swim. This information will appear on the health unit website

Al Capone slept here – or did he? Moments In Time
By CHRIS MUST Staff Writer
EMC Lifestyle - Despite one of the quotes attributed to Al Capone – “I don’t even know what street Canada is on” – the most notorious gangster in history is the subject of persistent local legends in a surprising number of communities in this country. Capone is said to have spent time in a hideout in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and in a similar hideout in Quadeville, Ontario, a remote community near Barry’s Bay. Closer to home, there is a legend about a house in Kemptville. Beneath the streets of Moose Jaw lies an extensive network of tunnels, constructed in the late 1800s and early 1900s so that building staff could move from one building to another keeping furnaces going, without having to go outdoors in the frigid winter weather. When Prohibition came to the U.S., Moose Jaw supposedly became a hub for rumrunners and gangsters, and it is in this period that Al Capone is said to have spent time there. Although local residents claimed to have seen him, no photographs or actual documentation exist. It
is documented fact, however, that Capone’s criminal empire sold tons of illegal liquor imported from Canada. In the tiny community of Quadeville, local legend has it that a log cabin, which survives today, was built on the Letterkenny road as a hideout for Al Capone and his family. Nearby Kauffeldt’s Grocery reportedly still sells “Al Capone’s Hideaway” t-shirts. Various sources have also claimed that Capone visited Kemptville. The website of the Rideau Glen Golf Club makes the claim that according to an un-named “gentleman that has lived in Kemptville for many years,” the rotund, scar-faced thug was an avid golfer, who spent summers at a residence on Oxford Street (whose later owners discovered underground tunnels) and may have even put up the money to help the original owners of Rideau Glen build the course. The local folklore states that Big Al was a left-handed golfer, and wanted a course that would favour left-handers, so he helped to build one. The longtime town resident’s father told him he remembered seeing Capone “in his ‘big black Cadillac’ coming to the course

Above: Chicago Cubs catcher Gabby Hartnett autographs a ball for Al Capone on Sept. 9, 1931. The mobster’s interest in sports also included golf, and legend has it he helped finance a golf course that opened in Kemptville, Ontario in 1929.
to inspect the progress of the construction.” Rideau Glen was established in 1929. Other sources say Big Al plied the waters of the Rideau, and with fellow Chicago mobsters frequented the river and many towns bordering it. Rideau Ferry area writer John Kessel has heard that Capone is believed to have visited Bunglow Island, near Portland, in the 1920s. Kessel says he has also spoken to an elderly resident of the area who operated a water taxi service and recalled picking up certain mobsters at the train station near Forfar, and taking them out to the island. “One time he remembered, he picked six guys up, and only five came back,” said Kessel. Can all these local legends possibly be true? An overview of Al Capone’s life and career makes it difficult, though by no means impossible, to imagine how he could have had much time to visit Canada. His was a relatively short, but undoubtedly violent and eventful life. Alphonse Gabriel Capone was born in Brooklyn, New York in1899, and died in 1947 at the age of 48. He began his criminal career early as a member of street gangs in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Capone arrived in Chicago in the

to Capone and return to Italy. Capone was in direct control of large portions of the Chicago underworld for barely longer than five years. He was not well known to the general public outside Chicago until he ordered the notorious St.

Valentine’s Day Massacre, which resulted in the deaths of seven North Side Gang associates on Feb. 14, 1929. The submachine gun massacre was splashed all over the front pages of daily newspapers, and sparked widespread outrage. Capone famously became the object of an intensive investigation by Bureau of Prohibition agent Elliot Ness. No one was ever arrested in connection with the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. Ironically, the crime Capone was indicted for in 1931 was tax evasion. He was handed an 11-year sentence. He was imprisoned at the Atlanta federal penitentiary in May 1932,

EMC News - This is your opportunity to have your own local boating safety advocate or hero recognized for their outstanding or life saving efforts in the field of recreational boating safety and environmental stewardship. They may have pulled someone to safety from a capsized boat, taught school children about the importance of always wearing a lifejacket or helped to keep the waterways clean and free of pollutants and debris. Whatever they have contributed to the boating community, we want you to nominate them! The Canadian Safe Boating Awards (CASBAs) are like the People’s Choice Awards of Safe Boating. They are an annual awards ceremony and dinner which takes place every January to recognize the efforts of the general public, volunteers, professionals, agencies and organizations who have distinguished themselves in the fields of boating safety and environmental stewardship. Maybe you or the company you work for has developed a product that enhances boating safety or maybe you or someone you know was walking along the beach, heard someone calling for help and decided to react. The CASBA awards span a number of categories including: • “Rescue of the Year” • “Marine Professional of the Year” • “Top Volunteer Dedicated to Safe Boating” • “Best Boating Safety Initiative” • “Safeguarding the Environment” • “Marine Industry” • “Visible PFD Wear in Advertising” • “Best Media Contribution to Boating Safety” What makes the CASBAs so very special is that nominations come from people like you. No matter where you live from Victoria to St. John’s, please keep your eyes and ears open. If you know or hear of some deserving individual or organization in your area, we ask you to please submit a nomination with related details by completing the form which can be found by going to www.csbc.ca.

then transferred to the newlybuilt Alcatraz prison on Aug. 11, 1934. He was paroled in 1939, and returned to his home in Florida. His health had already begun to decline in prison, as a result of syphilis, and for the remainder of his life he was mentally incapacitated. It seems that Capone spent most of his life either avoiding assassination or prosecution, or languishing in prison. On the other hand, an article in a 2003 issue of Golf Digest confirms that Capone definitely was a golfer, who played at the Burnham Woods golf course on Chicago’s South Side as often as twice a week, usually accompanied by “Ma-
chine Gun Jack” McGurn, planner of the St. Valentine’s Day shootings. In a 1972 story in Sports Illustrated, Tim Sullivan, a man who caddied for Capone at the age of 12, was quoted as saying, “I don’t think he broke 60 for the nine holes. He could drive the ball half a mile, but he always hooked it, and he couldn’t putt for beans.”

1931 Hudson sedan on display at Ottawa Museum
over 300,000 vehicles and ranked third in the industry behind Chevrolet and Ford. By 1931, it had slipped to seventh place with only a little over 58,000 vehicles leaving the factory. But despite hard times, Hudson continued to offer quality automobiles that gave you good value for the money. Eight factory models rode on the 119inch wheelbase, and our feature car is one of those. Eight other models rode on the 126-inch wheelbase. Under the hood was a straight eight engine of 233 cubic inches producing 87 horsepower at 3600 rpm. The car feature here is a Standard Sedan that weighed 3120 pounds with a Toronto delivered price when new of $1565. Also available in 1931 was a Town Sedan with the rear quarter windows filled in to provide a more limousine look. A close look at our feature car shows the “His” and “Hers” cowl vents just ahead of the windshield, an early form of air conditioning. Note also the use

EMC Lifestyle - On your next visit to Ottawa, be sure to go to the Canada Science and Technology Museum. Nearly one hundred antique and classic cars are in their automotive collection, including this 1931 Hudson 4-door sedan. Only a few are on display at any time. The 1931 Hudson featured here was purchased new in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, by the Lusignan family of Montreal and driven by the father and his sons until 1948, after which it was stored. A vendor bought it in 1987, restored the exterior and the engine, and exhibited it at antique auto shows in Canada and the U.S. before it was acquired by the museum in Ottawa. It is a very interesting example of the type of automobile produced by the Hudson Motor Company of Detroit in the early 1930s, when all car companies were struggling with the downward spiral of sales brought on by the Great Depression. Hudson had its best year in 1929 when it produced slightly

Wine country a highlight of European trip of the many excellent Gasthauses (German inns with a restaurant and rooms to rent) and Brauhauses (brew pubs) in Gengenbach. And where we left off…
Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
Ours was a very relaxing holiday, mainly because we didn’t push ourselves to ridiculous lengths. Preplanning and staying within a manageable driving range is vital if you want to enjoy your vacation. Renting a car offers huge advantages of course. Public transport, especially the rail network, is outstanding in Europe. But you are still restricted to the most heavily traveled routes and governed by timetables. A self-drive holiday means you aren’t clock watching and that you can visit places off the beaten path. Frank and Wendy LeBlanc made sure we got to many locations outside of the main stream and that made this trip particularly special. So, did we visit places on the wine routes which stood above the rest? Definitely several in fact. But I’ll limit myself to two in particular this week. Schloss Staufenberg In Germany there’s no question which winery was the most impressive. By pure chance (the LeBlanc’s
had looked for it previously, unsuccessfully) we came across Schloss Staufenberg. ‘Schloss’ means castle in German and of all the castles we saw (there are many of them) the location of this one was particularly impressive. Standing high on a mountain overlooking the wine producing village of Durbach, six kilometres northeast of the city of Offenburg, Schloss Staufenberg is a former knight’s castle dating from the 11th Century. It is now a winery which is particularly well known for its Klingelberger (Riesling) and Spätburgunder (Pinot noir), among other wines. It is the magnificent location of the castle that is the main drawing card. Well, if you’re a daredevil that is! Fortunately Frank fits the mould. When Schloss Staufenberg emerged from the mist (literally) he had no hesitation driving us up the narrow, twisting road to the top. The castle and surrounding winery cling to a steep mountain side. Wendy and Kathy were
hanging on for dear life. I suffer from vertigo so I just closed my eyes during the worst bits. Gaining the summit was well worth any misgivings we had on the way up. Here’s that overworked word again - ‘spectacular’. It had rained that morning and the mountainous region was heavily obscured by low hanging clouds and mist. But by mid-day the low ceiling lifted and there was the castle, right in our viewing range. “Do you know how many times we tried to find this place,” said Frank, shaking his head in amazement. When we arrived the view was unlimited. I have the photographs to prove it! We could see for miles across Germany’s fourth largest province. The orderly flow of the vineyards, spreading out across the hillsides and running down into the valley next to Durbach provided the best views of our trip. And we saw many spectacular vistas! Also high on my list was our stop in the Alsatian wine
village of Dambach-la-Ville. Not surprising perhaps as despite its small population (less than 2,000 residents), it is the largest wine producing village in Alsace. In fact its vineyards produce one of the finest Alsatian wines, the Grand Cru Frankstein. The village lies northwest of Sélestat on the eastern slopes of the Vosges Mountains. The scenery surrounding the community is something to behold. Of course vineyards dominate. As we approached Dambach-laVille Frank pulled off the road to let me photograph the vast collection of vines which run long distances in every direction, including up the mountain slopes. It was a sight to behold! The village is worth a visit if only to examine its ancient structures and impressive architecture, not to mention the mandatory Catholic church which is a standout. We took a lot of photos in Dambachla-Ville. And naturally we enjoyed making some wine selections. As I recall the Riesling we had that night was one of the finest we enjoyed and we experienced some truly outstanding wine during our stay. Back in Gengenbach the vineyards are no less impressive and the local wine is excellent. I particularly enjoyed the ‘Rotwein’ (red
wine). My favourite was the 2009 Gengenbacher Pinot noir (Spätburgunder in German). Germany is famous for its white wines with some 80 per cent of vineyards given over to that crop. Most of our family and friends say they have never had German red wine. Neither had I. But believe me, it is very good! One of the best things about the wine in Germany is the price. No government stranglehold on beer, wine and liquor sales there. The average supermarket price for a good bottle of wine in Germany was €2.99 (just over $4 CDN). It costs more at the wineries and in specialty shops. But it’s definitely inexpensive compared to the prices at LCBO. I have focused solely on the wine industry in this column. Germany of course is equally well known for the quality of its beer (not to mention the local schnapps we enjoyed on a few occasions). Virtually every town has a brewery and I never had a bad beer, only better ones. That’s another column though!

EMC Lifestyle - Editor’s note: The following is a continuation of the Reflections column which began in the July 21 issue of the EMC. Our previous experience with vineyards was clearly limited, judging by what we encountered in that section of Europe. The vineyards of the Niagara Region are impressive, but minuscule compared to what we saw in Germany and France. Vines were everywhere. They cover the gently rolling sections and the steeper mountain slopes of the beautiful Alsace in north-eastern France as well as the fields and hillsides of the even more mountainous Black Forest of south-western Germany. The visual effect in Germany in particular is impossible to accurately describe to you. To say the vineyards were “spectacular” seems a pitifully limp tribute! There was a table with our names on it in a private (guests only) lounge at the wonderful Pfeffermühle Hotel where we stayed. After a long day on the road we retired to the lounge and spent a relaxing hour or two chatting and sampling wine, bread, cheese and meat purchased along our route. It was a great way to unwind in preparation for our eventual evening meal in one

Lanark County Genealogical Society shares summer news EMC News - Summertime is generally a busy time for genealogists, as they take the opportunity to travel to areas where their ancestors lived and worked. For those whose interest lies in Lanark County, some important resources are available. People are welcome to visit two important sources of information run by the Lanark County Genealogical Society.
Archives Lanark is located at 1920 Concession 7 Drummond Township in Drummond Centre, just off Hwy. 7 between Innisville and Perth. The Archives is open Fridays and Saturdays from June to end of September from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Volunteers are available to help you peruse through the Lanark County Land Registry Abstract Books and Land Deeds dating
from 1868 to 1955. There are local cemetery listings, census records, early church records of baptisms and marriages. Scrapbooks of newspaper clippings compliment the original Almonte Gazettes from 19201980. There are published indexes of the Almonte Gazette, Perth Courier and Lanark Era. As part of the collection are several Tweedsmuir Histories
compiled by the local Women’s Institutes over many years. Our current book on the Rural Schools of North Elmsley is available for purchase. The second source of information is the Lanark County Genealogical Society Library which is housed in the Heritage House Museum 11 Old Sly’s Road in Smiths Falls. This facility is open May 1 to Dec. 23
daily from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. A $2 research pass gives access to the Library for a year. The Library contains many transcripts of cemeteries, church records and many donated family histories. It is maintained by volunteers. Shirley Somerville is working tirelessly at present on the records of the Hillcrest Cemetery in Smiths Falls. Lanark County Genealogical
Society will resume its meetings again on Wednesday Sept. 7 at 7:30 p.m. at the Township of Beckwith Council chambers, 1702 9th line of Beckwith, Blacks Corners, when our speaker will be Kristie Bredfeldt, past assistant museum manager, Osgoode Township Historical Society Museum.

Greg Norman to Design Second Golf Course for Grupo Vidanta at Nuevo Vallarta Resorts VIA FLAGSTICK GOLF MAGAZINE - Grupo Vidanta, Mexico’s leading resort developer, has selected Greg Norman as the designer for the second golf course at their world-class Nuevo Vallarta resort. The Greg Norman Signature golf course will feature 18 holes located along the beautiful beaches of Nuevo Vallarta between the western Sierra Madre mountain range and Banderas Bay. The golf course will be the second golf course at the resort and will be owned and operated by Vidanta Golf. Ground breaking for the new course is scheduled for early 2012. Completion of the first nine holes is targeting November 2012 with the back nine targeting mid-2013. Nuevo Vallarta is fast becoming the golf capital of Mexico, driven by the ambitious plans of Grupo Vidanta. The Normandesigned golf course joins a Nicklaus Design course (photo) also owned and operated by Vidanta Golf in Nuevo Vallarta. With three more golf courses to follow, a total of five professionally designed golf courses will create the ultimate destination for discriminating and casual golfers alike. The Nuevo Vallarta resort region is home to some of Grupo Vidanta’s finest luxury resorts including Grand Luxxe, The Grand Bliss, The Grand Mayan, Mayan Palace and Sea Garden. “We are extremely honoured to partner with Greg Norman Golf Course Design on the creation of what is destined to be a special golf course and a favourite of golfers for years to come,” says Arturo Hernandez, Chief Architect for Grupo Vidanta. “Mr. Norman’s reputation as an exceptional course designer precedes him, and our guests will benefit from his professional golf experience as well as his dedication and passion for creating environmentally sensitive golf courses.” “Grupo Vidanta is known around the world for their luxurious beach resorts.” said Norman. “And I look forward to working with them to design and build a golf course that compliments the gorgeous resort setting at Nuevo Vallarta. We hope to design and build a golf course that blends with the surrounding natural beauty and looks as though it has been there forever.” Since the establishment of the company in 1987, Greg Norman Golf Course Design has opened seventy four courses

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MORE GREAT STORIES & EDITORIALS AT WWW.FLAGSTICK.COM THE EMC - 22 - Thursday, July 28, 2011
BY FLAGSTICK GOLF MAGAZINE - The technique a person uses when they putt can affect the length of the putter they use. A golfer who feels more comfortable with his or her arms extended and likes to use a more shoulder and arm stroke will prefer a shorter putter even if they are tall. A good example of this would be Phil Mickelson. On the other side a golfer who prefers to use their hands and wrists in their putting stroke will prefer their arms bent, so their putter should be slightly longer. The best method to determine what length of putter is right for you is to see your local golf professional and go to the putting green with him or her. Your professional will analyze your stroke and fit you with the proper length and lie of putter.

He is an electrical engineer and has worked primarily in the Canadian high technology sector. As a member of the Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital board, and more recently the Champlain LHIN board, David has seen how professionals and volunteers can work together to make a difference. David volunteered as a founding member of the Lanark County and Town of Smiths Falls Substance Abuse Network, and continues to volunteer on the Carleton Place committee. He believes our community needs to become more aware of the risk, impact and challenges faced by old and young who are dealing with substance abuse. The more our community understands, the more our community will actively support the work being undertaken by our school boards, our police, our health care and social service providers who are working so hard to help our friends and neighbours.

Louis Antonakos was born and raised in Carleton Place, Ontario. He operates a property management company and is a second term councillor for the town of Carleton Place.
Louis supports and brings forth innovative ideas that help shape Carleton Place. As an active member of his community and member of the Carleton Place District Memorial Hospital board of directors, Louis has spearheaded the creation of many new committees within the town. He is a founding member of the Municipal Drug Strategy Committee and has been instrumental in ensuring that the committee be recognized and struck as an official committee by the Town of Carleton Place.
As a member of over 20 other committees within his municipality, Louis feels strongly that residents must be informed about the issues governing their community. They must not only be active participants, but also dream, plan and believe in their community and its residents. Brian Turner is a 25year member of the community with a background in youth services admin, having served as board chair and member of the Carleton Place and District Youth Centre and former

These are the people who volunteer to help make their community a safer and healthier place to live and grow. Nicole Pearson - I am a citizen of the Town of Carleton Place and a parent who went through the unthinkable, the loss of my son Brett Pearson to suicide in 2006. Becoming a member of the committee gave me the opportunity to speak of my own experience and the loss of my son and for my passion to find ways to help teens throughout our communities within Lanark County. I have a strong belief that the topics of drug abuse and suicide by way of school presentations can be discussed in a sensitive and informative way with the hope of preventing young people from taking the wrong path or their lives. Doris Marshall is a 16year resident of Carleton Place. Her interest and commitment to this committee is grounded in her personal and professional experiences with substance abuse and misuse, mental health and addiction and its affect on families and communities. She believes that in every community there is work to be done, in every nation there are wounds to heal, and in every heart there is the power to do it. Doris proudly volunteers as our secretary.

Final Harry Potter film best of them all
MOVIE: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 STARRING: Daniel Radcliff, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint and Ralph Fiennes DIRECTOR: David Yates RATING: PG-13
My Take MARK HASKINS
EMC Lifestyle - It’s been a long time coming, but the phenomenon that is Harry Potter has at last come to an end. The Deathly Hallows Part 2 brings the series to a close on the silver screen, and I must say it was kind of bittersweet. Sweet because it was so beautifully done, and bitter because it’s the last. Last year I had the problem of trying to review the first half of this film. Now I’ve seen the second half and I can say without a doubt The Deathly Hallows is by far the best of the Harry Potter films. When I say The Deathly Hallows I don’t mean part one or part two, but the entire film. It may have been released as two films, but make no mistake it’s really one, and should be watched as one whole film to truly enjoy it. The story continues with Harry (Daniel Radcliff), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) racing to destroy the remaining hoar-
cruxes. The race is even more desperate as Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) has figured out what they’re doing, and has made hunting them down the number one priority. It’s a race that eventually leads back to where it all began, Hogwarts. This will be the stage for the final battle. This is where Harry and Voldemort will face each other and their ultimate destiny. In a word The Deathly Hallows is perfect. It was perfect in detail, in execution, in its performances, in its effects, in the creation of settings and costumes, in its music and most importantly in its adaptation from the novel. This film comes as close to the books as any of them have. It captures the mood and feeling of the novel so completely that I was once again lost in this world despite already knowing what happens. The sorrow and the heroics were just as moving and thrilling as they had been when I first read the
book. Maybe even more so. This film is such a complete experience that even as it built to its climax, and the expected ending, I was still on the edge of my seat to see how it would all turn out. The Deathly Hallows is a true masterpiece. There’s not much I can say about the cast that I haven’t already said. Daniel Radcliff, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are as perfectly cast in their roles as any actor has been. They have grown up on screen and they’ve grown into their roles. In this last film they we’re outstanding. This is by far their greatest performances. Ralph Fiennes has been terrifyingly evil as Voldemort. This film is nothing without its villain and Fiennes has given the kind of villainous performance that will rank with the greats of all time. Now that I’ve seen the whole film I can say it truly is great. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Variety of cats wear coats of many colours By HOLLY AULT
EMC Lifestyle - Cats, unlike dogs, come basically in one shape – cat-shaped. While there can be subtle differences in faces such as the snub nose of a Persian or the elongated face of a Siamese, essentially all cats are the same shape. It’s the patchwork quilt array of colours and patterns that present so many appealing options to choose from. Most of us have heard of particular personality traits that are applicable to a particular colouration of cat, black cats are talkers, calicos are self-absorbed, orange cats, particularly orange tabbies, are extremely intelligent. I read far and wide on the Internet over the past few days to find a common thread that would neatly sew together the facts of colour and nature of the beasts, so to speak. Much information was scientifically based (genes and the like) and much of the rest was of blogtype material based on personal experiences. So I took a little of this and a little of that and kept in mind that environment and human personality traits can also play a large part in the personality development of cats. While I’ve met many black cats in my lifetime and many were very talkative, I also met the strong silent type of black, in particular two large males who only spoke on occasion and usually in short sentences. They were thinkers rather than chatters. I have read that tabbies are upbeat and celebratory little souls whose distinct personalities are the most similar to that of dogs of all cat colours and types. My two tabbies, Tommy and Ike, have both been trained to do tricks of a rather doggie type. But where Ike is constantly full of celebration of life and fun, his big ‘brother” has what I refer to as an Eeyore outlook on life, right down to the baleful facial expression. While I was doing my research and thinking, quite by coincidence the shelter staff sent me three of the distinct cat colour/pattern types I was looking into: calico, tortoiseshell and the brown tabby and white combo. The main points I gathered from the Internet for
THIS WEEK’S PETS each of these were as follows: Calicos are quirky, independent, a little stubborn and take their time adjusting to new surroundings. But in the end are delightful companions who are intelligent and loving. Tortoiseshell cats (torties) have very particular personality traits that many describe as “Tortitude.” While all cats are different, Torties tend to share in common the fact that they are very impish and curious. They are playful and entertaining and do like to bend the rules a bit to keep their humans on their toes. But then I also read that torties are nervous, shy and loners. The brown tabby and white combo cat (sometimes referred to as “harlequin”) is generally not a lap cat, but will use your lap as a stepping stone to a toy or a plateau to rest between play sessions. The will also stand or sit on you to say hello and tell you stories. They tend to choose when to spend time with you but do not like to be ignored. A quirk of the harlequin can be their insistence on you staying and keeping them company while they eat. (This was my mom’s harlequin, Sasha, to a tee). They combine the oft-mentioned sweet reserve of white cats and the lovable out-going qualities (not Sasha, who preferred to watch life’s goings on from the sidelines) of tabbies. Science aside, I believe that whatever pattern or colour of cat you choose it is your interaction with him or her that will help determine what “type” of cat they will be. When you adopt an adult cat, he or she comes already equipped with the routines, habits and treatment from their past life. Adjusting to your routines takes them some time. Patience is key, but a warm and loving home where you talk to and play with your cat could change a harlequin into a lap cat, a tortie to fear nothing and to trust you and a calico to become a little less independent and snuggle with you to keep you company. And while there will always
be cats who don’t like to be picked up, cats who don’t like other cats and need to be the only feline in residence, and cats like my Tommy who are sweet but a titch pessimistic, I believe that science and genes have less to do with personality than does the environment you provide. In your home your adopted cat can become your perfect companion. News Bites We now have a foster program for cats and dogs. We have over 25 dogs and 120 cats in the shelter. As LAWS is a no kill shelter, these animals will stay with us until they are adopted. We need help to get these animals out of the shelter for a while and into a loving home and then we can adopt them out, once their stress levels have gone down. Contact the shelter if you are interested in this program. Thanks to everyone who donated a Kuranda bed to LAWS. We are short just a few beds so that all the shelter dogs will have one.

Moriarty is a 10-year old senior beagle dog who arrived at LAWS with terrible bite wounds down both of his hind legs. The wounds were so severe that they required stitching by our veterinarian–who did an amazing job–and several weeks of healing. Throughout his ordeal he remained a sweet little dog just grateful for the help. Now he’s good as new, or nearly-new as a dog of mature years, and dearly wants a home of his own to spend his remaining years lounging and chasing butterflies at his leisure. A shelter is no place for puppies to grow up in, but that’s just what’s happening for little Kaya and Anana: healthy, exuberant, playful and energetic Alaskan malamute pups. They

Phoebe is an adorable, cherub-faced female calico cat who is seven and a half years old. She has a little round head and a cobby body to go with her short legs. So cute! Phoebe was given up from a home environment so she knows what it feels like to have a home of her own. This has made adjusting to shelter life much more difficult for her than a stray cat who may have been fending for itself outside for months. Phoebe doesn’t enjoy sharing her space with all the other cats in her adoption room, and would prefer going back to being an “only cat.”
week is Thor, a manly male cat with personality to spare and very handsome too. He’s a neutered harlequin cat, white with brown tabby spots, and has a medium-haired luxurious coat. He’s talkative and seeks out all the attention he can get. This two-year old would love nothing more than to be your whole world.

Gengenbach’s an idyllic town in Germany’s Black Forest By JEFF MAGUIRE
Photo by JEFF MAGUIRE
The market square in historic Gengenbach, a town of 11,000 in the famous Black Forest Region of southwest Germany. The Town Hall (circa 1784) is on the right while in the foreground (left) is the market fountain dating from the 17th Century, topped by a stone knight. Note the half-timbered buildings and the cobblestone streets and sidewalks. In the distance is the Tower of the Upper Gate, one of two watchtowers in the walled Old Town of Gengenbach. The tower still sports a gate weighing two tons. Our friends the LeBlancs had prepared us. “You’re going to love the place,” Frank said confidently. I have to tell you he wasn’t being over confident. “Love” is definitely the right word. We very quickly embraced the place and we’d return in a heartbeat! Gengenbach was our headquarters for an 11-day visit to the Black Forest and the nearby Alsace Region of France. The historic town of 11,000 has become a second home for the LeBlancs. They lived in nearby Offenburg during Frank’s career in the Canadian Army. Gengenbach is just
12 kilometres away and they were captivated by the charming community during their first visit. They make frequent trips to Germany and Gengenbach remains the focal point of their excursions. This year Frank and Wendy were anxious to show us an area of Europe they have enjoyed exploring many times. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We saw so many wonderful places during our numerous day trips. In the end, however, we agreed Gengenbach is in a class of its own. Historic centre The “Old Town” is especially interesting. Our hotel
was located a stone’s throw from the historic centre which comes complete with watch towers, gates and an outer wall. Like countless European communities Gengenbach was
originally constructed to protect its inhabitants. We saw a very good scale model of the town in a local museum which, interestingly, is contained in one of two carefully preserved
watch towers. The remaining sections of the protective wall have largely been incorporated into the current town centre. The “modern” town of Gengenbach is anything but new in appearance. Of course that’s a huge factor in its appeal. The medieval atmosphere has been retained. The fine, half-timbered houses (many buildings feature structural timbers which are exposed) appear to be “original equipment”. On inspection you quickly realize that time, including fires and wear and tear have resulted in the structures being rebuilt. Some have been refurbished numerous times. But in line with rules and regulations first established in 1905 the historic character of the homes and the townscape remains. The entire inner part of the town was placed under a historical preservation order in 1955. A closer look reveals many of the homes have been subdivided. Electronic entry (buzzers) has been discreetly added. The old town is a wonderful place with cobblestone streets and sidewalks among many impressive features. There is a main street lined with interesting shops and complete with such modern touches as electronic banking. See TRAVEL page 51

EDITOR’S NOTE – This is the latest in an ongoing series of travel articles by EMC feature writer Jeff Maguire. He and his wife Kathleen, who live in Carleton Place, have traveled extensively in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Continental Europe for 16 years. North American destinations, including Ottawa Valley and Eastern Ontario day trips, feature from time to time. The Golden Retriever eagerly dove into the river and happily fetched a stick thrown by its owner. Time and again the dog repeated the process as we stood and enjoyed the spectacle from a nearby bridge. It was 7 o’clock on a hot and sultry late spring evening. The river was the Kinzig and hours earlier Kathleen and I, accompanied by Carleton Place friends Wendy and Frank LeBlanc, had arrived in Gengenbach, an historic and picturesque town in the Black Forest Region of southwest Germany. After flying overnight to Frankfurt from Ottawa we journeyed by train to Offenburg where we picked up our rental car. It was a long and tiring journey by plane, train and automobile. But a couple of hours in bed at our hotel followed by a shower and change of clothes and we were ready to begin what I call “the second day.” It’s a process we have repeated many times on our travels to Europe. But never have we embarked on an overseas visit in a community as strikingly beautiful as Gengenbach. I will use the word “magical” to describe the experience. Even that description falls short somehow!

Quebec all-star team dominates fourth Gil Read memorial event EMC Sports - The weather was perfect, the crowds were impressive and for an all-star team from Quebec so were the pickings! The Quebec Seniors rolled over most of their opponents to easily win the fourth annual ‘Gil Read Memorial Men’s Fastpitch Tournament’ in Carp last weekend. The Quebec tournament team is comprised of players from Donnacona Blue Sox (Quebec City area) and other clubs from the province including Quyon Combat Flyers who play in the local league. They claimed $1,800 cash for their exertions in Carp! It’s been a productive summer for the Quebec Seniors. They were runners-up in a tournament at Cambridge, Massachusetts the previous weekend and they won a competition at Au Sable Forks, New York (near Lake Placid) played July 8-10. At Au Sable the Quebecers defeated Carp 14C Victory in the final. Playing as Donnacona many of the winning players in Carp this past weekend were also champions at the prestigious Jim Bradford men’s fastball tournament in Cobourg, Ontario in June. Sunday afternoon the Quebec squad blanked Napanee North Key Junior Express 6-0 to capture the Gil Read tournament trophy. North Key
was one of two sides from the Lake Ontario community entered in the competition. The champions didn’t lose a game in the 10-team event, winning three and tying one to lead the B Pool standings. They then won their semifinal contest 10-1 over Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL), easily qualifying for the championship game. The Quebec side scored a total of 60 runs in six games on the weekend. They used offence to overwhelm their opponents in the absence of their top starting pitcher Francis Leclair. He was unavailable to play in Carp. Napanee North Key made it to the final after compiling a 3-1 mark in the B Pool. Their only round-robin setback was a 14-8 defeat at the hands of the Quebec Seniors Saturday morning. In the semi-finals North Key downed previously undefeated Kars Aces from GOFL 8-5 to make it to the title game. North Key claimed $700 for finishing as runnersup in Carp. Kars, the defending GOFL champions, was a perfect 4-0 in the A Pool, posting the best record in the preliminary round of the event. All funds raised during the annual competition go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation which assists underprivi-
leged children in the Ottawa area who wish to play organized sports. This is the second year the tournament was held at Carp Fairgrounds and, assisted by ideal summer weather, it is expected to be the most successful yet (watch for a future story in the EMC on the outcome of the venture).
‘The Quebec side scored a total of 60 runs in six games...’ Six of the seven teams in GOFL took part in the Gil Read memorial with Kars and Fitzroy WC making it to the semi-finals. Quyon (Quebec) Combat Flyers, who won the 2010 event in Carp, didn’t enter this year. But several of their top players were in the winning Quebec Seniors’ line-up. Quyon is undefeated in GOFL play so far this season! GOFL entries Among GOFL teams entered, Fitzroy WC Electric went 3-1 in the A Pool while host Carp finished 2-2. In the B Pool Barrhaven Broadway Blues finished 2-1-1 while Ottawa Blitz (known as Taylor’s Blitz for tournament purposes) was 1-3. Stittsville 56ers, the last place side in GOFL
this season, were an uninspiring 0-4 in Carp. Also in Pool A Napanee Shoeless Joe’s Express finished 1-3 while Cree Nation Bears were 0-4. Local West Carleton fastball fans had to be impressed by the performances of both local sides. Fitzroy made it to the semi-finals before losing to the eventual champions from Quebec. Carp, meanwhile, was a highly competitive 2-2. In Pool A action Fitzroy WC outscored Carp 8-5 in the tournament opener Friday night. Saturday Electric edged Napanee Shoeless Joe’s 4-3 before taking it on the chin 9-0 versus Kars later in the day. Sunday they outlasted Cree Nation 11-10 to make the playoffs. After losing to rivals Fitzroy Friday, 14C Victory shut out Napanee Shoeless Joe’s 9-0 and blasted Cree Nation 9-1 in action on Saturday. Carp fell out of the competition Sunday with a 6-2 loss to GOFL rival Kars. Until 2010 the tournament, which is named in memory of Gil Read a long-time coach from the Ottawa area who died tragically in 2007, was played at Carlington Park in west-central Ottawa. Facility rental costs skyrocketed in the city proper, however, prompting the organizing committee to seek

EMC News - The South East Community Care Access Centre (SECCAC) held its Annual General Meeting at its head office in Kingston on June 29. The event featured a presentation on a new provincial model of care delivery called the Client Care Model. “The profile of CCAC clients has changed. More and more clients come to us with greater acuity and a rising complexity of needs,” said SECCAC Board Chair Valerie Cook-Jackson. “It’s forced us to look at how we can best serve different populations with the resources available to us. The Client Care Model provides a framework that standardizes how CCACs define, work with, and are accountable for five client populations. Each population will receive specific case management intensity, care planning and service that align with their care needs.” The SECCAC released its 2010/11 annual report which contained many highlights and success stories including a new model of care for palliative and end-of-life clients, creating a streamlined process for medical equipment and supplies ordering which is ex-
another venue. They settled on Carp Fairgrounds, hoping to attract more fans and increase revenues. As mentioned all proceeds from the competition go to a charitable foundation established in Gil Read’s name. The money assists children, who could not otherwise afford the cost, to play competitive sports. Last year’s tournament in Carp was a complete success. The foundation received nearly $10,000, almost double the profit from 2009. The tournament’s namesake, the late Gil Read, led three men’s teams to the Canadian championships in 1993, 1995 and again in 1999. He also coached Team Ontario to gold medals at the 1997, 2001 and 2005 Canada Summer Games.

cheese To cook the pasta without heating up the kitchen, bring a pot of water to the boil. Add the pasta, stir, then remove the pot from the heat, and cover it. Let the pot sit for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring the pasta once. The heat of the water will continue to cook the pasta. After 12 minutes, check whether the pasta is done. It should be firm with no starchy flavour. When the pasta is ready, drain it, and set it aside. Let it cool completely before adding the remaining ingredients. Otherwise, if the pasta is warm, it will absorb the dressing and be-

There really is an App for that
EMC Lifestyle - Since the advent and burgeoning popularity of the smart phone, the phrase ‘There’s An App for That’ (referring to the endless software applications that can be downloaded for use on mobile phones or electronic tablets) has become an ingrained part of our lexicon. I receive endless press releases and product launch info blurbs about every possible electronic gizmo or gadget you can use in an automobile, but the one that caught my attention recently was a smart phone app for speeders.
Yes some genius geek has developed a software download that will utilize the GPS function of a smart phone to constantly track and register your vehicle’s speed. For those of you who were silly enough to think the speedometer was already a suitable instrument for that function (kindly provided at no extra cost by the auto-maker) think again. This app’s main purpose according to the product sheet is to provide accurate proof of your vehicle’s speed in case you get pulled over, for what else, speed-

from a mid-sized selection of choices ranging from $150$300 each. This is a vehicle for stop and start commutes, long distance touring, or weekend pleasure drives with or without the family. After you’ve started with a solid platform for this sedan market, the focus has to be on styling to attract and win over buyers, and the 200 has achieved that in typical ‘Chrysler understated’ execu-
tion. The cues such as headlamp design and body lines appearance are subtle, and the interior keeps the flash to a minimum and comfort and safety at the top of the list. Room for four adults is plentiful and trunk space is more than adequate at almost 14 cubic feet. The 200 sedan’s standard safety features include: standard advanced multi-stage front passenger air bags, active head restraints, electronic stability control (ESC), front seat side air bags, side curtain air bags, four-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS), electronic traction control, Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) child seat
anchor system and available Uconnect® voice command (hands-free system). Like all Chrysler products, the 200 is backed by a threeyear/60,000km base warranty and a five-year/100,000 km power-train plan. A standard dealer oil change will cost around $39, front brake pads are $89, and brake rotors are $116 each. An air filter is $35. The 200 is a contender in a very crowded market place and its price point and features put it in competition with some considerably more expensive vehicles.

EMC Lifestyle - It’s fitting that as Chrysler Canada launches their ‘Canada’s Newest Showroom’ campaign I had a chance to borrow one of their latest offerings from Hinton Dodge Chrysler in Perth, a newly crowned dealership that truly is Canada’s Newest Showroom. The 200 was a nameplate first used by Chrysler in the early 50’s a concept convertible that wowed them at the Paris Auto Show that year. Flash forward almost 50 years and it’s very fitting that the ‘Imported from Detroit’ 200 will soon be storming European shores and sold there as a Lancia. The 200 sedan starts out as an LX model for $17,995 and moves all the way up to a very well loaded Limited trim level $30,340 (all prices before freight, licence fees, taxes, and manufacturer discounts). My Touring model, courtesy of John Hinton, came in at $27,245. For the money, this level is equipped with everything you’d expect for a midsized mid-luxury sedan plus remote start, automatic headlamps and climate control, and a power sunroof. The key to the rebirth of the 200 name plate is the all new 3.6 L V6 Pentastar engine, which puts out 283 HP and 240 LB/FT of torque. When mated to the six-speed automatic, this power-plant provides some unexpected spirit without sacrificing fuel economy. NRCan rates this combination in the 200 at 11.0 L/100 km city and 6.8 L/100 km highway (25.6 and 41.5 mpg respectively). The 64 L fuel tank will cost around $70 to fill at $1.29/L and should deliver a range in excess of 600 km in a 50/50 mix of city/ highway driving. The 200 provides drivers an agile, confident, handling performance in all driving situations, and over a variety of road conditions. Virtually every part of the suspension has been retuned or redesigned for 2011. Drivers and passengers will experience less body roll, reduced vehicle shake on uneven road surfaces, improved isolation on rough roads, better steering precision, response and feel and increased grip with new premium tires. My 200 Touring came equipped with P225/50R18’s and their replacements are available
100 of the plainest cars on the planet in terms of dash distractions, and then equip them with a device that renders any cell phone or personal electronic device inoperative when placed inside the cabin. Put them on the same roads, at the same time, driving in the same traffic as the most electronically dash decorated conveyances, driven by the most connected commuters available, and compare the collision rates between these two groups. I’ll save you all the tedium of reading the government sponsored 2,000 page report: those drivers, who had nothing else to concentrate on except driving, would have a substantially lower collision rate than their electronic egg-head group. Just have the government department in question make out the grant cheque to yours truly.

Community gathers to bring Dr. James Naismith home here that he was tasked with creating a new indoor sport and in 1891 the first game of basketball was played using hand-written rules from the teacher himself. Today, basketball is played in over 200 countries world-wide and is one of the most popular sports.

to Almonte. Donations are still being accepted. Saturday, Marilyn Anderson represented The Hub when she presented Rae with a $500 cheque toward the statue. This is the second donation of this size the local organization has made. Another way to support the project is to purchase a $4 Naismith coin, which will be available at participating local businesses until Dec. 30, 2011. The Mississippi Mills Municipal trade token was unveiled Saturday afternoon at the Alliance Coin and Banknote on Mill Street. “I’m delighted to have the opportunity to honour Dr. James Naismith,” said Sean Isaacs, owner. Isaacs then presented Mayor Levi, Stephanie Kolsters (museum curator) and grandson, James Naismith with a VIP copy of the coin for their collections. All of this work goes to support the grand piece of artwork that is the bronze statue. This piece, which depicts the local man sitting on a bench with his trademark peach basket at his feet and basketball at his side, was created by Kansas sculptor Elden Tefft. Inspired by Nai-
smith’s story, Tefft endeavoured to make the sculpture and two other copies that are now sitting in Springfield, Mass., and Lawrence, Kansas. Rae thanked the sculptor for his work, remarking: “What a beautiful depiction of a wonderful man.” The local statue can be found outside of Bread N Butter on Mill Street perched on top of a beautiful stone surface resembling a basketball. Mayor John Levi expressed his delight in seeing the project complete, adding it is the community’s way to pay tribute to this incredible man of sport and his strong connection to the community. “This statue will become a hub of excitement for visitors,” the mayor added. “I think it’s a wonderful thing.” Gordon O’Connor, MP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills added his congratulations and acknowledgement of the importance of honouring our past. “We should all be proud to have a role model in the area and a piece of history in our community,” he said. Moments before the formal unveiling took place,
the mayor and Rae each received a signed basketball from Anne McRae, Upper Canada District School Board trustee, who received the balls from players of the Harlem Globetrotters when they were in the area this spring. A number of keynote speakers took their turn at the microphone, including Rick Traer, past president of FIBA America and representative of the Ontario Basketball Association. Traer conveyed congratulations from a number of executives in sport before making his remarks as a former member of the Naismith Foundation. “It’s really gratifying to see the unveiling of this statue today,” Traer said. “Congratulations on a wonderful initiative.” History Dr. James Naismith left the local area after high school when he studied at McGill University. There he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Physical Education. In 1890 Naismith left for Springfield, Mass., where he would begin work as a professor at a YMCA training school. It is 347179_0512
EMC News - A hundredand-fifty years after his birth outside of Almonte, Dr. James Naismith returned home in the form of a bronze statue – a symbol of a local boy, a childhood game and an amazing achievement. In celebration of this new installation downtown (a project that took nearly three years to complete) the community, along with special guests, were invited to the July 23 unveiling, including Naismith’s grandsons: Jim Naismith (of Texas) and Stuart Naismith (of New York). “Basketball was created by the gentleman and that gentleman was really created by Almonte and this area,” Jim told the crowd on Mill Street Saturday. Dr. Naismith was born in Bennies Corners in 1861. By the age of nine the young boy was orphaned when his parents contracted typhoid fever. This challenging upbringing may have contributed to Naismith’s desire to give back to his fellow man through sport. In 1891 while teaching at a training school in Springfield, Massachusetts he created the new indoor game – basketball – based on a childhood game known as Duck on a Rock. The story of Naismith and his school peers playing on a rock outside of the schoolhouse is a common tale in both Mississippi Mills and the USA where Naismith spent the majority of his life and raised his family. “I used to love to hear him tell stories and many stories were about Almonte,” Stuart said. “He is just delighted to come back to Almonte and visit and stay at his initial home.” The effort that was needed to see this day become a reality was considerable. Allen Rae, president of the Naismith Basketball Foundation remembers the time, three years ago, when Mississippi Mills council asked the Foundation to move forward with the statue project. Since then a fundraising program has been launched and work on both sides of the border has taken place to bring the statue of Naismith

Downtown floral displays an ongoing target for vandals By EMC STAFF
EMC News - Vandalism aimed at the floral beautification program in downtown Carleton Place has been an all too regular occurrence in recent years. Unfortunately this summer is no exception! Large ceramic planters located in what is known locally as “Lolly’s Park” have been targeted on four occasions. In all four cases the heavy planters were overturned. In May one of the large vessels was smashed. There were no flowers involved in the May attack as it was still too early to plant them. However, the recent incidents have resulted in extensive damage to the plants themselves which are now well established. Also last week one of the hanging flower baskets in front of the Carleton Place Town Hall was pulled from its mooring and smashed on the sidewalk. It all adds up to frustration and anger for the Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) who pays for the spring and summer floral beautification program. “We’ve had so many positive comments about the
planters and hanging baskets,” BIA coordinator Cathie McOrmond told the EMC. “It is just so frustrating when this (vandalism) continues to happen. It is so senseless.” McOrmond says that on the advice of Carleton Place Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) the downtown business organization is taking steps to try and minimize the situation. “But there isn’t a lot we can do,” she laments, noting the incidents occur overnight, under cover of darkness. Despite the ongoing frustration and the cost of the vandalism the BIA vows the damage will not stop the program aimed at improving the appearance of the central business district during the warm weather months. The organization which markets and advocates on behalf of some 160 businesses in a specific geographic area of Carleton Place, including Bridge St. the town’s main downtown artery, underwrites the considerable cost of a floral beautification program in their area every summer. Some of the planting is done by members of the local Communities in Bloom Com-
mittee. Mayor Wendy LeBlanc, who co-chairs the committee, has also expressed her frustration at the vandalism. But she totally supports the BIA’s approach in moving forward with the beautification program regardless of the ongoing vandalism. The main focus of this year’s attacks has been Lolly’s Park. The small green space, at the northwest corner of the Central Bridge, was developed by the BIA on the site of the building which once housed Lolly’s Tea Room on Bridge Street. It was one of two older structures on the main thoroughfare purchased and removed by the town several years ago. McOrmond says the fact the parkette is more isolated than some areas of the main street could be one of the reasons it is so regularly targeted. On the other hand she believes it takes a community effort to fight such senseless and expensive destruction! OPP are investigating and are intent on nabbing the individual(s) involved. “People can help by calling the police or Crime Stoppers,”
McOrmond suggests. “If you see something happening downtown that you feel could be a problem, please call the police immediately,” she asks. OPP says if anyone witnesses an incident in progress they should dial 911. If they have information to provide after the fact they can call the
Carleton Place detachment at 613-257-5610 week days. Lanark County Crime Stoppers anonymous toll-free telephone line is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at 1-800-222-TIPS (1-800-2228477). People can also submit information anonymously to Crime Stoppers on-line at: www.tipsubmit.com
Crime Stoppers does not record telephone calls and the organization does not subscribe to call display. All information received is completely anonymous and callers could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000 if the information they provide leads to an arrest in this or any other case.

WATER From front page
fluoride campaign earlier this year. Dickson argues it is better to let citizens choose how much fluoride they get, rather than administering it to everyone in drinking water. Besides drinking water, fluoride is contained in most toothpastes and mouth wash available on the market today. “Let’s put it on there with (tooth) brushing,” Dr. Dickson told the media during the recent campaign in that western city. “Let’s put it on at the dentist if you choose.” He observes that most dentists offer fluoride treatments to their patients. “Let’s not put it inside our bodies where it doesn’t work,” Dickson told the CBC in January. Opponents of fluoride argue the mineral, when taken regularly in drinking water, may contribute to some forms of cancer. They point to research which shows fluoride could be a factor in bone cancer for example. Some medical people claim it has a negative impact on thyroid function, heightens the risk of bone pain or bone
fractures and leads to negative neurological effects. Above all else, they state, not enough research has been done on the potential harmful effects of introducing fluoride into drinking water. Proponents of the practice counter that research on the subject is moderate and does not clearly demonstrate any connection between fluoride and cancer. They say that in carefully administered low doses its benefit in slowing tooth decay has been proven. Children and the poor are particularly vulnerable to tooth decay, they argue. One point that most agree on is that fluoride does increase the risk of “fluorosis” a dental condition in which stains or tiny pits appear on teeth if too much fluoride is ingested. Dentists who oppose fluoride in drinking water say fluorosis is not only a cosmetic problem but leads to an increase in cavities, especially in young children. The recent anti-fluoridation campaign in Waterloo leaned heavily on the argument that since there are so many ways to obtain fluoride it is no longer necessary to add it to drinking water. Less than half the city’s
eligible voters turned out for last year’s referendum on the subject. The anti-fluoride side won by a narrow margin. Meanwhile Flynn is hopeful Carleton Place residents will pressure council into “at least investigating the matter. “This (fluoride) is one of the most toxic substances known to man,” he told the EMC in an interview earlier this year. “It’s a factor in all kinds of ailments.” He says fluoride “has been taken out of the drinking water in Europe” with no perceptible increase in dental problems. Access to fluoride through toothpaste is credited with the current situation in Europe.
the fluoride issue doesn’t impact him personally. “This isn’t my issue it is your issue. As a politician I am here to serve the best interests of our people.” Carleton Place obtains its potable water from the Mississippi River. It is distributed through a network of underground pipes from the town’s water treatment facility in Riverside Park. The town has been adding fluoride to the water “for decades”, Flynn explains. The councillor feels that due to recent developments, including other communities banning fluoride, this is a good time for a campaign to investigate the matter.
“I’m convinced this is a big issue. And I will do whatever I can to help eradicate fluoride from the town’s drinking water supply.” During last year’s municipal election campaign Flynn told the EMC he would like to see the issue taken to a referendum. Last week he reiterated that position! “If there is any indication of health risks – and I believe there is – then we should be seriously looking at this. “I would support a referendum if that is what the public in Carleton Place wants. I will be the leader of a campaign if people want to join a movement in this direction. “Put pressure on the politi-
cians to investigate it at the very least,” he suggests. Flynn says there are many aspects involved but people’s health is his primary concern. “We don’t have to be medicated, as a society, without our consent. “It may even be a human rights issue,” he contends. “I am adamant that this get done. I just want it (fluoride) out.” Flynn invites public comments and says he would appreciate support in his mission to end the fluoridation of drinking water in Carleton Place. He can be reached by e-mail at: jerryflynn@rogers. com.
Public campaign Flynn believes that under public pressure town council here will be forced to act. “As elected officials we are obligated to investigate this on behalf of our residents.” He argues “the status quo isn’t good enough. “I hope local people will look at this carefully. It is their issue.” Flynn drinks well water so

Para dragon boat team brings home silver in B division By STACEY ROY Staff Writer
EMC Sports - The sportsman like qualities of giving it your best as part of a team were amply displayed by the Carleton Place Canoe Club’s para dragon boat team who attended the international competition to bring home a silver medal. The team was made up of special athletes from across the Lanark County area, including 21-year old Smiths Falls resident Kaity Peterson who has been a part of the Paddle All program at the area canoe club since its pilot
project three summer’s ago. At first Peterson struggled to learn the paddle technique and had difficulty remaining in the water the full hour-anda-half. That is until part way through last summer when Peterson really blossomed in the program. Her mom, Suzanne Richards remembers the rainy day very well. “All of a sudden it clicked,” Richards said, recalling the rain began at just this time. “Kaity stayed out there paddling in the rower. She was so proud that she’d gotten it.” It is this type of achieve-
ment and personal satisfaction that interested coaches when the opportunity to take part in a special exhibition at the International Dragon Boat competition in Toronto July 23-24 presented itself. Krystal Lowe, coach of the Paddle All team said the exhibition game was being held so that representatives from Special Olympics could review the sport before making their decision to include it in their programming or not. With this in mind “we really wanted to have a crew,” Lowe said. The team of 12 participants
had just a month to train for the competition last weekend with none of the athletes having been in a dragon boat before hand. At this time Massey LeachRathwell of Perth joined the team bringing with him his extensive skills in sport. His father, Jim Rathwell attributes his son’s ability to pick up the sport quickly to his past experience in soccer, basketball, and other sports. “Snow shoeing is his big thing in the winter time,” Rathwell added. “He always wants to strive to be the best at all his sports.”
When his son finished the first race last weekend he ran over to his family, arms up in victory and “all smiles.” The athletes knew how to paddle, but had never had to do so in unison before during such a high profile competition. Saturday afternoon presented the team with their first chance to qualify for competition where they placed third overall, entering them into the semi-finals. “The second game was really close,” Richards said. The team had remained in second place throughout
until the last moment when the third place team pulled out ahead to snatch that spot. Fighting for that spot neck and neck like that really awakened the fighting spirit in the local team. “You could see they were feeling the competition of another boat beside them,” Lowe said. This performance in the boat placed the team in the B division for Sunday’s final game where they came away with the silver medal. “They were in second the whole time,” Richards said.
Protect yourself from summer’s UV levels Don’t Dump It - Blue Box It rays are at their peak.” Cover up. “Nothing is better than a physical barrier to protect you from the sun, such as a longsleeved shirt, long pants and a wide-brimmed hat,” explains the physician. “Keep in mind that not all fabric provides maximum protection from the sun, but you can find clothing made of material that provides 100 per cent protection.” Deschenes advises to wear sunscreen, if you are going to be in the sun for more than 10 to 15 minutes. “Wear sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF)
of at least 15, and, preferably, 30,” she says. “Make sure you apply enough sunscreen, and cover all exposed areas. Be sure to reapply sunscreen after swimming or if you are perspiring.” Protect your eyes. Sun exposure may also contribute to the formation of cataracts.
The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.
“It is important to protect your eyes from harmful rays,” says Deschenes. “Talk to your optometrist or ophthalmologist about sunglasses that will block all types of UV rays.” Submitted by Almonte General Hospital.

Here are some tips from Almonte family physician Dr. Christiane Deschenes. Know what damage the sun can cause. “In the short term, excessive sun exposure can cause a painful sunburn,” says Deschenes. “Over the longer term, it can cause skin cancer.” Limit your time in the sun. Being in the sun for 10 to 15 minutes no more than a couple of times a week will give your body enough Vitamin D,” says Deschenes. “Try to stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when UV

EMC Lifestyle - UV (ultraviolet) levels across Canada are higher than usual this summer. According to Environment Canada, record ozone thinning in the Arctic this spring contributed to these higher UV values. Ontario has already had a number of days this summer when the UV index has been eight to 10 (very high) or 11 (extreme). When UV values are high, it’s important to protect yourself and your loved ones from the damage that sun exposure can cause.

Stand-by radio communication station installed at AGH EMC News – A stand-by radio communication station has been installed at the Almonte General Hospital (AGH) for use as a back-up facility during emergencies. The station will augment the hospital’s existing communications infrastructure and be available with back-up electrical power in the event of a hydro failure, cell or telephone outage. Don Stewart, the Assistant Emergency Coordinator representing the Almonte Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) group, proposed a few months ago that AGH purchase a radio communications transceiver, which would be installed and operated by members of the Almonte ARES group. AGH agreed and the station is now operational and interconnected to the ARES analog repeater system, providing coverage to all of Lanark County, east into Ottawa, north into Renfrew County and as far south as Belleville. In addition to connecting to the analog repeater system, the AGH station also has the capability to connect to a state-of-the-art digital communication system known as D-STAR. D-STAR is a digital repeater project currently being implemented by the Almonte ARES group, as funds are raised. D-STAR, when fully operational, will be able to transmit and re-

It will also be able to connect to the Internet. AGH CEO Mary Wilson Trider sees the benefit of this station as a community asset. “It will provide an important alternative to traditional communications systems during emergencies, with the further ability to connect with other local area hospitals that also have a back-up radio station,” Wilson Trider said. “This would facilitate the exchange of information and the sharing of resources
within the local medical community.” AGH is a member of the Community Control Group, which oversees the planning and implementation of emergency measures as required within Mississippi Mills. Almonte Amateur Radio Club President Rob Webb and D-STAR Project Coordinator Tom Bartello said they are very pleased to have this opportunity to utilize the skills and communications experience of local ARES members to support AGH and the Mississippi Mills community.

DUNLAY, Fred June 1, 1941 to August 1, 1996 Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am a diamond glint of snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awake in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star shining at night. Do not stand by my grave and cry I am not there… I did not die. Love Jeff, Donna Mom, Steve, Lisa, Nick, Cory

SMAIL – In loving memory of a dear husband, father and grandfather Len Smail who passed away July 28, 2009. It’s been 2 years since you left us, And it’s still hard to believe that you’re gone. Not a day goes by that we don’t think about you, And wish that you were here. It just seems more difficult because we didn’t get a chance to say goodbye or I Love You one more time. No one will ever know the heartache we feel or the times that we’ve wished for one more day or even just one more hour to spend with you. We miss the cheering when your Detroit Red Wings were winning, And even miss the complaining when they were not. So we cherish all the loving memories of days gone by and hold them deep within our hearts. We don’t always understand God’s plan but we trust that He knows best. And we are at peace knowing that you are safe in His care and now at rest. Your Mom went on before you and she was there to greet you and bring comfort to your weary heart, We know how you both loved to play crib And we smile and wonder if you ever let her win. So even though our family chain has been broken, We take comfort knowing that one day when God calls our name, He’ll take our hand and lead us right to you Where we will all be reunited and forever remain in His loving care. We Love You Len! Barb, Jeff and Greg Lori, Phil, Liam and Lilly Donna, Doug, Scott, Stuart, Rina, Erik and girls Fred and Grandma June (Sandy misses you too)
ROBERTSON, Betty - In loving memory of a dear wife who passed away, August 1, 2007. Four years have passed since that sad day, The one I loved was called away, God took her home, it was His will, But in my heart she liveth still. Lovingly remembered by Donald

LAMING, Allen – In loving memory of my husband, Allen, who passed away August 1, 2006. For almost fifty years we were married, With your passing, nothing has been the same, No one can know how much I love you, Hardly a day goes by without thinking of you. Your jovial heart was so kind and true, And when I needed someone, I could count on you. The opportunity of holding your hand will not return, But in my heart we will always walk together. Your loving wife, Marion

POLK, Nancy (Hutcheson) - March 5, 1954 - July 28, 2002. In times of joy, we imagine you were here; such fleeting happiness is soon dashed, giving way to sadness. In sorrowful moments, we ponder why God took you from us; bitter questions ensue, evoking anger and despair. When we are facing doubt, we wonder what you would say; contemplation confounds, making us feel unsure and lonely. Living without you, nothing is as it should be. Every minute of our lives has been affected by your death. Loving you and missing you for nine years, Rick, Ryan, Megan and Matthew

Sad are the hearts that love you Silent tears that fall Living our lives without you Is the hardest part of all. You did so many things for all of us Your hearts were kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you Those special years will not return When we were all together But with the love within our hearts You will walk with us forever.

LEE, Eric - In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather who passed away July 11, 1998. Gone dear loved one, Gone forever. How we miss your smiling face, But you left us to remember, None on earth can take your place. You are gone, but not forgotten, And as dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of you are always near. It is well he will suffer no more, In the love land of the Blessed, Pain fled as he entered Heaven’s shore, And left him at peace and rest. There the earthly buds transplanted For our coming, watch and wait, In the upper Garden growing, Just within the Pearly Gates. Though our hearts brake with sorrow, With grief so hard to bare, We shall meet him some bright morning, In the Upper Garden There. God please give him eternal rest, For when here on earth he was one of the best. Forever loved, wife Gladys daughter Kathy Kelly, sons Dan, Garry, Tom, Gerry, Jeff and families

Gengenbach is very pedestrian friendly. The winding, idyllic streets in the historic centre mean vehicles travel slowly. The warren of alleyways which run through the residential part of the town centre are too narrow for anything other than bicycles and are meant for walkers. The unique character of the community is perhaps best displayed in ‘Die Engelgasse’ (Angel Alley) with its wonderful half-timbered houses and beautiful floral displays. Germans are very proud of their properties and that’s especially evident in historic Gengenbach. The town is relatively compact meaning you don’t have to walk long distances to view the highlights. The impressive Town Hall, constructed in 1784, is a good starting point. We were in Gengenbach in late May and early June. But at Christmas the municipal headquarters is the main focal point. Its uniform windows are turned into an Advent Calendar which is brightly lit at night. The historic marketplace is right in front of the Town Hall. Every Wednesday and Saturday morning a farmers’ market is the main destination for residents and visitors alike. The European growing season is well ahead of ours and when we were there the market abounded with fresh fruit and vegetables including “ground berries” (strawberries), newly ripened cherries and most prominent of all at the time “Spargel” (asparagus). Schnapps, fruit flavored liquor produced by local farmers, is also for sale. You can’t miss the market fountain, with its stone knight, dating from the 16th Century. Flowers feature on public and private land in the community and the main park is also a delight featuring a “mini-zoo” complete with ostrich and a labyrinth cut into the grass. Roman built The Gengenbach of today has been shaped by history. The region was settled by the Celts in pre-Christian times. The name of the river ‘Kinzig’ (it’s a tributary of the Rhine by the way) is a reminder of Celtic times. Germanic tribes followed the Celts and they in turn were pushed out by the Romans. It was the Romans who constructed the first settlement (73 AD to 260 AD). Visitors to Gengenbach will find many remnants of the Roman times including a brick oven which was opened to public viewing as recently as 1974. The most important Roman road, from Strasbourg, France (which we also visited) to Rottweil (home of the Rottweiler breed of dog), ran through Gengenbach. The town’s history is long

Picturesque ‘Die Engelgasse’ (Angel Alley) in Gengenbach, Germany with its impressive half-timbered houses and beautiful floral display. The Black Forest community is famous for its residential alley ways which are only wide enough for pedestrians and cyclists. The closed, half-timbered façade of the houses is characterized by the overhang that allowed for a larger living space on the upper floor. In 1955 the entire inner part of the town of 11,000 was placed under an historical preservation order. and complex. The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) left its mark. A major chapter of note occurred in 1689 when the troops of French King Louis XIV (the Sun King) burned Gengenbach to the ground. Despite that setback the town soon blossomed however, spurred by the oldest market rights granted to any community in central Baden. Craftsmen’s guilds helped the community grow and prosper. On our return my father asked me what the main industries in the area are. Certainly the fact Gengenbach is in the Black Forest points to one major employer, the lumber industry which remains very much in vogue, although tightly regulated. The big money maker here is wine! The entire region and the nearby Alsace in northeast France are filled with vineyards. The local wine is wonderful too as we discovered. There’s much more than Black Tower (a white wine familiar here) although it too is excellent. I enjoyed the Rotwein (red wine) with the locally produced Gengenbacher ‘Spätburgunder’ (Pinot noir) my personal favourite. Among the town’s highlights are its museums, including the one I mentioned that’s located in the Kinzig Gate Tower. It opened in the 1990s. There is also the socalled ‘Fools Museum’ in the Niggelturm (Niggel Tower). The multi-storey facility in the old town relates to the fall Carnival season in southern Germany. Pagan customs blend with Christian festivities. Parades are held with participants wearing elaborate masks and colourful costumes, many of which are displayed in this very interesting museum. The “Fool” is a mischievous figure you will see carved in stone that is the symbol of Gengenbach’s carnival. The views from the top of the Niggel Tower are wonderful for photographers like me! An absolute must stop is the Town Church of St.
THE EMC - 51 - Thursday, July 28, 2011
Mary, a three-nave basilica dating from 1120. Its baroque tower is visible from all directions. The church was destroyed in the pillaging and burning by the French in 1689. It was rebuilt by well-known baroque master builder Franz Beer but has undergone several renovations since. The incredible works of art painted inside this spectacular parish church are awe inspiring! Incredible view Early on a sun splashed Sunday morning we made the long walk to the top of ‘Die Bergle’ (The Little Mountain) which overlooks Gengenbach. Covered with grape vines the slopes are a sight to behold. It is topped by the other major religious site in the area the ‘Jakobskapelle’ (Chapel of St. Jacob). It is being renovated and was covered in plastic so the photos I took outside are diminished. The chapel, dedicated to St. Jacob, is another symbol of Gengenbach. It stands on the site of a Roman place of worship and the interior is beautiful. Seven donated paintings ‘The Blessing from the Sermon on the Mount’ are a must-see feature. From the top of the Bergle, on this picture perfect, totally clear morning Frank pointed out the steeple of world famous Strasbourg Cathedral, nearly 30 kilometres away across the Rhine in France. The views are breathtaking! Below us the vineyards stretched to the horizon and the River Kinzig snaked through the impressive valley. We could see all of Gengenbach with its many impressive highlights stretched out below. The buildings looked as if you could reach down and pick them up. The tranquil place with no traffic sounds and such impressive historic structures bore mute testimony to Frank and Wendy’s well stated feeling that “this too is home.” HOW TO GET THERE – Air Canada has a daily direct flight from Ottawa to
Frankfurt, one of the main European air hubs. There are good rail connections with Deutsche Bahn, the German national railway, as well as regional services all of which converge on two separate stations at Frankfurt airport. You can travel anywhere in Europe by train. Talk to your travel agent about transportation options. WHERE TO STAY – The area is well serviced by hotels and Gasthauses (German inns including a restaurant and with rooms for rent). We stayed at the Pfeffermühle Stadt Hotel in Gengenbach, operated by the Armbruster family and were well satisfied. It is definitely a cut above chain establishments. The family also operates two excellent restaurants, including one by the same name in the old town. WHERE TO EAT – Food options are plentiful and quite reasonable by the standards of the day. A Gasthaus is always a good bet and there are also numerous Brauhauses (brew pubs) which feature good menus. Our favourite in Gengenbach was the Mercyscher Hof which featured a very impressive outdoor beer garden (yes, the German beer is outstanding too), excellent food and serving staff who were friendly and did their best in English. Fortunately for us we were with two people (the LeBlanc’s) who speak excellent German! Knowing a little of the language is a huge plus by the way. There’s not much English spoken in the Black Forest! Don’t expect a lot of “hamburger joints” here either. Gengenbach was pleasantly devoid of fast food establishments. Still, the schnitzel (pork or veal) and the fish (especially trout), not to mention Spargel in spring-time, are all good reasons to travel to Germany!

Baby-friendly initiative: How to create a supportive breastfeeding environment at home EMC Lifestyle - The World Health Organization (WHO) created “baby-friendly” in 1991 to offer a vision of how hospitals and communities can help all new mothers and babies have the best start. Low breastfeeding rates prompted the WHO to take action. They produced standards about how to support mothers and families during breastfeeding. There are many ways to be baby-friendly at home. Learn about the benefits of breast milk. Make skin-to-skin contact with your baby a natural routine. Surround yourself with family, friends and community services that understand and support your decision to breastfeed.
How to “Eat Local” vegetables and fruit in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark
Nutrition Tips By CAROLE CHANG
EMC Lifestyle - Many local vegetables and fruit are available in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark Counties. Buying and eating locally provides benefits to the health of the community. Read on to learn where you can find local foods in the Tri-county area. Where to find local food Farmers’ Markets are accessible to many people as they are often located in a central urban location, operating from spring through to the end of last harvest. It is a great way to know your growers and ask where your produce comes from and how it is grown. Farmers’ Markets are found in many communities including: Brockville, Prescott, Gananoque, Lansdowne, Kemptville, Westport, Smiths Falls, Perth and Almonte. Visiting a pick-your-own farm gives you and your children the chance to know where food comes from and to pick your own vegetables and fruit. These two websites tell you where to find farmers’ markets and growers in the Tri-county area: www. localflavours.org and www.lanarklocalflavour.ca. Community Shared Agriculture is a way for consumers to cooperate with farmers by buying local, seasonal food directly from them. The farmer grows a variety of crops and you get high quality, fresh produce, as it becomes available. This helps to keep rural communities alive by partnering with their farmers. The previous websites also show the location of CSA operations in our area as does www.csafarms.ca. Grow your own local food Research has shown that gardeners eat more vegetables and fruit than non-gardeners. If you grow more than you can use right away, preserve the surplus for winter use or donate it to a food bank. Next year you could share garden space with a friend. If you don’t have a space for a garden, one solution is container gardening. You can grow your own vegetables and herbs in pots or boxes on your balcony. Community Gardens are plots of land available for people to share gardening space. For a small fee, you can grow your own vegetables, herbs or fruit. The Health Unit has a directory of where Community Gardens can be found. Grocery stores Buying local at your grocery store is as simple as “Look, Ask and Buy”. Look for products that are locally grown, ask your grocer for local products. Make your voice heard - for every person asking the grocer, there are at least seven other customers thinking the same thing. And finally, buy local products when you have a choice. Other local venues Some other ways to enjoy locally grown vegetables and fruit include: supporting restaurants, specialty food stores and eating establishments who buy local; attending seasonal community gatherings like a church strawberry social; attending local county fairs where local produce is highlighted; and attending community food festivals such as the Garlic, Corn or Maple Syrup Festivals. There are many wonderful places to shop for your food in the Tri-county, be an informed shopper and check on production methods. Vegetables and fruit are perfectly safe coming from a local farm, when choosing fresh produce look for good quality and freshness and always wash it before using. When choosing your food products, observe how food is handled and stored and don’t hesitate to ask if products have been produced at an inspected facility. Once you purchase your food, do your part to handle it safely. For resources on how to buy local, get involved in a community garden, or prepare local foods safely and nutritiously, contact the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit. Call the Health Action Line at 1-800-660-5853 (or 613-345-5685), or visit the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit’s nutrition website at www.healthunit.org/nutrition. Carole Chang is a Registered Dietitian/Public Health Nutritionist, Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.
Breast milk is the normal food for baby. Feeding your baby will be free, convenient and always the right temperature. Breast milk is the only food your baby will need in their first six months of life. It is full of nutrients, enzymes, and antibodies that help protect your baby against illnesses and infections throughout their life. Being skin-to-skin with your baby right after birth is a great start to being baby-friendly. With your baby only wearing a diaper you will hold them against your bare chest. When you are holding your baby this way, your skin helps your baby to stay warm, feel safe and loved. It allows the baby easy access to breastfeed when hungry. Having this time with your baby is a great way to get to know your baby’s early signs that they are hungry, full or tired. Using skin-to-skin is an easy and no-cost way to get breastfeeding and parenting off to a great start.
Supporting mothers and babies is an important part of being baby-friendly. Family, friends, neighbours, and health care providers can support breastfeeding by taking care of the mother so she can care for the baby. Mothers who feel supported will continue to breastfeed longer. Here are some ways you can support a breastfeeding mother: learn about breastfeeding, make a meal, help around the house, know your community services and help mothers to access them. Baby-friendly is a way of life for new families. Starting breastfeeding off on the right foot is an easy way to keep it going for six months or more. For more information, please contact the Health Action Line at 1-800-660-5853 or visit www.healthunit.org. Tanis Brown is a BNSc, RN with the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit.

Mississippi View: Keeping residents in the area informed EMC News - A brief look at what’s making news in Beckwith, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills. Missing youth Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is investigating a missing person report regarding a 14-year-old girl from the Almonte area who has been missing since last month. Dystiny Janisse left a residence on Country Street in Almonte in the region of 1:30 p.m. June 24 and did not return. Police believe she is in the Ottawa area. Ottawa Police Service is assisting with the investigation. Janisse is described as white, five-feet three-inches tall, thin build, brown eyes and light brown shoulder length hair. She has a birthmark on her right forearm. If anyone has had any contact with Janisse or has seen her, they are asked to contact Lanark County OPP at 613267-2626 or toll free at 1-888310-1122.
Wrong way On July 18, OPP officers from the Ottawa Provincial Traffic Detachment were responding to reports of a blue Oldsmobile allegedly going the wrong way on Highway 417 westbound near the junction of Highway 416. Passing motorists observed the vehicle travelling on the left shoulder of the highway facing oncoming traffic. OPP officers were able to stop the vehicle near Richmond Road and get it turned around in the proper direction. As a result, 85-year-old Elizabeth Sibbitt of Almonte was charged with drive wrong way on a divided highway contrary to the Highway Traffic Act. ATV collision Lanark County OPP was called to Almonte General Hospital (AGH) July 24 around 3:35 a.m. regarding two injured persons who were involved in an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) collision. A male and female were on an ATV travelling westbound on the Clayton Road when it
lost control and entered the ditch ejecting both riders. Both riders were not wearing helmets and were brought to AGH by witnesses. The driver of the ATV, a 19-year-old Mississippi Mills woman sustained serious injuries and was transferred to Ottawa Civic Hospital. The passenger, a 21-year-old Mississippi Mills male also sustained serious injuries. The investigation continues. Street work begins The redevelopment of Carleton Place’s Beckwith Street is set to begin the week of Aug. 1. Preliminary components of the project are the installations of a temporary water system and new storm sewer. Ottawa’s R.W. Tomlinson Ltd. is doing the work. Rotary campaign The Rotary Club of Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills – a long-time supporter of the two communities – has launched a financial campaign to help defray the cost of some large, upcoming communitybased projects that are in the process of being finalized. A 50/50 draw will be held at the Carleton Place BIA (Business Improvement Association) Bridge Street Bazaar July 30. Proceeds will support the campaign. The organization is also working with the

International Puppet Festival at www.puppetsup.ca. Now in its seventh year, the Mississippi Mills festival Aug. 6 and 7 features 12 visiting troupes, including one from France.

Closed for supper Petra Graber, the owner of The Good Food Co. in Carleton Place, says after 14 years the Bridge Street café will no longer be open for supper – focusing on providing “consistently good breakfasts and lunches, with a side of catering.”
Hours of operation: Tuesday to Sunday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. “We will be open one hour earlier on the weekends to allow for earlier risers,” Graber says. The café is still available for private evening parties any night of the week, and the Good Food Co. will still host advertised special events, such as New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day dinners. Naismith video contest The Naismith Basketball Foundation has recently launched a contest for youth enrolled in area schools. Students are invited to create a short video telling the life of Dr. James Naismith – the inventor of basketball. Born in Almonte in 1861, 2011 marks the 150th anniversary of Naismith’s birth. Each participating elementary and high school in Lanark County will select two entries to forward to the finals. A waiver (consent from parent or guardian if under the age of 18) will be required for students moving on to the final judging, and all videos become the property of the

Assault charges Lanark County OPP was called to a residence on James Street in Almonte July 16 at approximately 4:20 a.m. It was reported a male had been assaulted with a beer bottle. Two males were involved in an altercation that resulted in one man allegedly being struck in the head with a beer bottle causing injury to the neck area, OPP said. The suspect was gone prior to police arrival, and a 28-yearold Mississippi Mills man was taken by ambulance to hospital with serious non life threatening injuries. Shortly after, police located the suspect at a residence outside of town where he was arrested without incident.
As a result of this incident, 31-year-old Gary Sadler of Ottawa is charged with aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. He was released on a promise to appear for Perth Court Aug. 29.

EMC Events – The Neilcorp Homes first ever Charity Golf Tournament supporting Roger’s House – in memory of Zoey Viola Marlene Lumley-Pfeil – was held July 21 at Pakenham Highlands Golf Club. An outstanding $20,000 was raised. Neilcorp customers, Susan and Melissa Lumley-Pfeil recently chose Almonte as their home to be closer to CHEO and Roger’s House, due to their daughter being sick. Sadly, Zoey passed away June 9. Clockwise from top left: Mississippi Mills councillor Paul Watters (in red) and town planner Stephen Stirling check in at the registration desk; Mike Savard from BFI tees off; golfers head out on the course, readying for the shotgun start; and Neilcorp co-owners Doug McIntosh (left) and Robert Dick.

Musical entertainment major component of Bridge Street Bazaar EMC Events - There is much more to Bridge Street Bazaar in Carleton Place than vendors and bargains. That fact will be underlined Saturday when local musicians take the spotlight during the sixth annual bazaar. The downtown venture is now in a class of its own in terms of one-day, summer events in Carleton Place. With the Riverside Jam relegated to the annals of history the Civic Holiday weekend event on the town’s main street will highlight the quality of the musical talent available in Carleton Place and district. “We’re going with all local and area entertainers,” says Jerry Flynn, the Carleton Place councillor who has taken charge of the music for this year’s bazaar. He also organizes the musical component of local Canada Day festivities every July 1. “So many (musicians) give their time for nothing here. I think it is nice to pay them to perform when we have the opportunity.” He says all of the individuals and bands who will entertain have connections here. “There’s definitely a big local flavour,” Flynn stresses. The music will begin at 9:15 a.m. Saturday and continue until the conclusion of the bazaar at 4 p.m. Carleton Place musician and story teller Lyle Dillabough opens things with a set that is scheduled to run from 9:15-10 a.m. He will be followed by students from SRC Music in Carleton Place who will entertain from 10:15-11:15 a.m. SRC
students thrilled the large crowd at the third annual Lambs Down Park Festival held June 11. Both the bazaar and the festival are organized by the Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA). Well known area singer Arlene Quinn will close the morning part of the music bill. Quinn’s set is scheduled to begin at 11:30 and will run until 12:30 p.m. From 12:45-1:30 Barry Munro and Judi Moffatt take centre stage. They’ll be followed by ‘Everything Zen’ from 1:45-2:45. The band ‘Big Whiskey’ is scheduled to wrap up the show from 3-4 p.m. The bazaar music stage is being relocated a little farther north on the main street this year. It will be set up in the new municipal parking lot on the north side of 92 Bridge St. (commercial building). As for the main event, the retail extravaganza and street carnival, it is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and run until 4 o’clock. Much of Bridge St., the town’s main downtown thoroughfare will be closed throughout to accommodate the big street bazaar which will operate rain or shine. Bridge St. will be closed to vehicular traffic from 7 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. to allow for set-up and take-down. The area affected by the closure begins at the corner of Bridge St.-Lake Ave.Moore St. in the south and runs north to Mill St. All side streets and the parking lots off Bridge St. proper will be available for festivalgoers. Ongoing construction
work on nearby Beckwith St., which runs parallel with Bridge St., could cause some slight inconvenience however. Lots of interest The BIA has received another large advance registration. Cathie McOrmond, the full-time coordinator of the downtown business organization, is confident this will be the best Bridge Street Bazaar yet! “There was definitely a big advance registration (the deadline was last Sunday). We’re sure to have well over 100 vendors again this year.” She says the street festival is “very family friendly” with lots of activities for children along with scores of vendor’s booths, plenty of delicious food and non-stop musical entertainment. “There will be no shortage of things to do. There is something for everyone,” McOrmond underlines. This year marks the first time in its six-year history that Bridge Street Bazaar will stand alone. It was launched by the BIA in 2006 as a companion event to complement the ‘Riverside Jam on the Mississippi’ country music festival. The bazaar was designed, in part, to give festival-goers something to do during the day before the main acts hit the stage in Riverside Park in the early evening. In January the organizing Diamond Foundation officially brought down the curtain on Riverside Jam. The chairman pointed to lack of municipal support and low overall attendance as the main reasons behind the de-
mise of the activity. ‘The Jam’ as it came to be known ran every Civic Holiday weekend for seven years. There are currently no plans to revive it. McOrmond and the BIA board of directors, however, are more than confident Bridge Street Bazaar will stand alone. “Interest remains very high. I think the fact we’ve added new things every year, while retaining the most popular parts of the original bazaar, has helped keep it fresh,” she outlines. As mentioned children’s activities are a priority. The municipal parking lot, opposite the bank buildings, has been set aside for a new activity for children. Partytime Inflatable Carnival will be operating bouncy castles. Returning kids’ activities include a petting zoo, pony rides and face painting among other attractions.
Also new this year will be mascots and street dancers. However the local Mississippi Squares will also entertain along with some exotic belly dancers. Also new this weekend will be Paintball Paradise which, along with sales, will also offer an interactive version of the popular “sport”. Returning this year is the popular Artists’ Village, operated by Arts Carleton Place and located near the post office. Just across the street from the Artists’ Village the annual pancake breakfast sponsored by the Masonic Lodge will run all morning Saturday. At the other end of the street Century 21 real estate will hold a fundraising barbecue in support of the Carleton Place Sister City Committee and its annual ‘Sister Cities Student Exchange’ program. That event will
take place in front of 145 Bridge St. Still, it’s the shopping experience that trumps everything at the bazaar! Besides scores of out of town and local street vendors it is expected most downtown businesses and restaurants will participate to take advantage of the thousands expected to descend on Bridge St. for the venture. “There will be all kinds of shopping available,” McOrmond promises. For additional information about Bridge Street Bazaar and other activities planned in the central business district in Carleton Place this year visit the website: www. downtowncarletonplace. com. To reach BIA staff telephone 613-257-8049 or email McOrmond at: cmcormond@carletonplace.ca.

RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP…NOW Carleton Place Council and Staff have worked hard in the first eight months of Council’s mandate to advance our Town’s posi ve growth while maintaining small town values. Now that summer’s here, it’s construc on season and easy to see where the Town is moving forward on projects that are of long-term benefit to the community. Many ci zens have enjoyed watching the demoli on of three buildings at Lake Avenue East and Beckwith Street. The Gourlay Company did a great job keeping inconvenience to the public to a minimum, and people commented on the fact that much material was salvaged for reuse and recycling. But … the Talk of the Town is the proposed Market Square Pavilion and all eyes will be on this area again when this development starts to take shape. In the mean me, although we have a few months of Beckwith Street reconstruc on to endure, the new, wider street will be well worth the wait and inconvenience. During the elec on campaign, our a en on was drawn to unsafe pedestrian condi ons along the west side of McNeely Avenue from Coleman Street to Smart Centres. Bulldozers are now at work crea ng a path – which will be lighted for addi onal safety – along this area. And, speaking of paths, has your family walked or biked along the wonderful trail from Carleton Place to Beckwith Park? The official ribbon-cu ng hasn’t taken place yet, but the path is open and already popular.

EMC Sports – The Beckwith Irish took on the Brockville Bombers (Bantam teams) late last month at Beckwith Park for the league’s championship. The game ended in a close finish with the Bombers winning the game and the championship by two points (18-16). The Irish’s Danny McTiernan (#9) makes a run for it, surrounded by his teammates, Jake Hamm (#15), Evan Gammon (#69) and Connor Melville (#57).
Housing starts – single family, row houses and condos, new buildings in the Industrial Parks, several new businesses in the downtown core, our new Community Programmer working out of the Arena and lots of specula on on what’s yet to come, show that Carleton Place is a vibrant, forward-looking community. When driven by enthusiasm, great things get done! Wendy LeBlanc

Thirty-five cyclists participated in the Century Tour 2011 June 26, raising $1,652, which was divided between the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital and Mills Community Support Corporation. Jenny Andress, a personal trainer at Heritage Fitness in Carleton Place, organized the ride.
Hospital receives support from Century Tour 2011 EMC News – The Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) Foundation is pleased to announce that 35 cyclists participated in the Century Tour 2011 June 26. The event raised $1,652, which was split between the hospital and the Mills Community Support Corporation. Jenny Andress, a personal trainer at Heritage Fitness in Carleton Place, organized the ride. “I would like to send a big thank you and congratulations to all the riders who participated in Century Tour 2011,” stated Andress. “I am really impressed with their enthusiasm and inspired by
their willingness to challenge themselves through a 50 kilometre (km) or 100 km bike ride. I am very pleased we had 10 more riders than last year, and I can’t wait to get next year underway!” Century Tour 2011 offered participants the option of a 50 km or 100 km bike ride around beautiful Mississippi Mills. The ride started at Heritage Fitness and travelled through Appleton, Almonte, Clayton, and in the case of the 100 km trip, Blakeney and Pakenham. Upon registration, participants received a training schedule to help prepare for their chosen route. Volunteers, equipped with bev-
erages, snacks and cheers, supported the entire route while a light lunch waited the participant’s completion back at Heritage Fitness. “This was the second year for the Century Tour and we are so pleased that Jenny decided once again to direct some of the proceeds from the event to our Foundation,” stated Chantelle Troy, manager/community relations officer of the CPDMH Foundation. “It was a great day for cycling, and the route was just enough of a challenge. I’m looking forward to next year and maybe then I’ll consider doing the 100 kilometre route!”
EMC News – In 2005, the Almonte and District High School (ADHS) Student Council formed a group called “We Care” to raise awareness and funds for good causes. To date, the group has raised money to help build a school in Sri Lanka, contributed funds to the Almonte General Hospital, collected books for a library in Nicaragua, and donated eyeglasses to people in Guatemala. These funds were raised through attendance at football games, teacher-versus-student volleyball games and coffee houses. On a yearly basis, the group also supports the local food bank, the Snowsuit Fund
of Ottawa, and the SchoolBOX charity based in Almonte. This year, these contributions totalled over $550 and 246 cans to the food bank, $400 to the Snowsuit Fund, and $450 to SchoolBOX. In addition, group members decided to extend their good work by going into the community and volunteering their time. A group of students visited the Rosamond Unit at the Almonte General Hospital to participate in the Friendly Visitor program. This program allows volunteers to chat and play cards and board games with seniors awaiting long-term care facilities. The following students formed the
core group who visited the hospital every Tuesday and Thursday after school: Tanya Armstrong, Melissa Bradley, Kyle Brown, Caitlin Langlois, Julia Langlois, Brody Leroux, Sarah Neville, Pippa O’Brien and Michelle Toshack. “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Anne McRae, our trustee, who is the volunteer coordinator at the hospital,” said teacher lead Mythili Kalyanasundaram. “She was incredibly helpful. I would also like to thank Kelly Lewis, who facilitated our efforts during Anne’s absence.” Submitted by Upper Canada District School Board.

Carleton Place Canadians’ 2011-2012 CCHL regular season schedule is set By JEFF MAGUIRE
EMC Sports – In the midst of the most sustained heat wave of the summer last week, Carleton Place Canadians and the other 11 teams in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) Tier 1 Junior A were already looking ahead to the new season. The 2011-2012 campaign promises to be an interesting one for Canadians and their loyal fans. After qualifying for the playoffs last March in only their second season of operation, team management is hoping for even better things in the upcoming season. Carleton Place finished a very respectable fifth overall in the 12-team loop last season with a solid 32-26-1-3 record and 68 points from 62 games. In the quarter final playoffs they faced fourth place Gloucester Rangers. After starting brightly the veteranladen Rangers took charge, winning the series in six games. Canadians’ head coach, general manager and owner Jason Clarke hasn’t set an official goal for the next campaign at this stage. But following last spring’s postseason exit he did say he hopes to go one better this season. “I would love to win a (playoff) series. From there
we will see what happens,” he observed recently. This year the CCHL will play host to the Fred Page Cup Eastern Canadian Junior A championship tournament. Two years ago Kanata Stallions were selected to host the 2012 FPC which will be held April 24-29, 2012 at Stallions’ home arena, the Kanata Recreation Complex (KRC). The winner of the four team event will represent Canada East at the Royal Bank Cup (RBC) national Junior A championship tournament next May. Pembroke Lumber Kings, the five-time defending CCHL champions, also captured the FPC title in suburban Montreal this past April. They went on to win their first ever Canadian title at the 2011 RBC competition in Camrose, Alberta on May 8. Regardless of who represents the CCHL as league champions in Kanata next spring, the host Stallions will be one of the four competing clubs. The other entries will be the Quebec and Maritime champions. Next spring’s FPC tournament will mark the first time in the 18-year history of the competition the venture has been held in Ottawa, the nation’s capital. Also, for the second straight year, Stallions and KRC will play host to the season opening ‘CCHL
Showcase’ which is scheduled for Sept. 9-11. All 12 teams in the league will play two regular season contests during the three-day venture. By choosing Kanata as the venue, league management has once again opted to hold the opening tournament in Ottawa where five of the 12 league clubs are based. Well scouted The showcase, which has run annually for many years, is partly designed to give scouts, including representatives from the National Hockey League, Canadian Major Junior hockey and college scouts from the American National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) an early look at the available talent in the Junior A loop. The Eastern Ontario-based league is a major recruiting ground for NCAA and Major Junior teams with dozens of graduates going on to enjoy good professional hockey careers. The CCHL’s two divisions are called ‘Yzerman’ and ‘Robinson.’ They’re named for two particularly outstanding league alumni who went on to enjoy long careers in the NHL. Steve Yzerman, the former star forward with Detroit Red Wings (for 22 years), began his junior career with his hometown Nepean Raiders. Yzerman was
inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009 and is now the general manager of Tampa Bay Lightning of the NHL. Former all-star defenceman Larry Robinson of Marvelville, near Metcalfe, once played for Brockville of the CJHL as he ascended the hockey ladder. Robinson was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1995. He is currently the defensive coach for the NHL’s New Jersey Devils. The current Yzerman Division is comprised of teams located along what a league official describes as “the Highway 417/Ottawa River corridor.” From west to east the division includes Pembroke, Kanata, Nepean Raiders, Ottawa Junior Senators, Gloucester Rangers (based in Orleans) and Cumberland Grads who play their games in Navan in rural east Ottawa. The Robinson Division line-up includes teams in the “Highway 401/Rideau-St. Lawrence corridor.” From east to west that division is comprised of Hawkesbury Hawks, Cornwall Colts, Brockville, Kemptville 73’s, Smiths Falls Bears and Carleton Place. With 11 teams prior to 2009, the league was able to operate a totally interlocking schedule of 60 games. Each club played the others
six times during the season – three at home and three away. Under the set-up invoked two years ago, when Canadians became the 12th league entry, the number of games changed with each team moving to a slightly expanded 62 game schedule. The majority of contests any team plays are within their own division as well as against two geographic rivals from the other division. In order to create divisional rivals league brass divided the 12 teams into three specific geographical blocks of four each. The Western Block includes Kanata, Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Pembroke. The Central Block is made up of Nepean, Ottawa, Kemptville and Brockville, while the so-called Eastern Block comprises Gloucester, Cumberland, Cornwall and Hawkesbury. A closer look at the structure reveals that the four blocks include two teams from each division. Member teams meet division and geographic rivals six times each during the season and they play five games against teams outside their particular block. During this year’s opening showcase in Kanata, the Canadians will face Nepean Raiders on Saturday, Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. On Sunday, Sept. 11 at 2:15 p.m. Carle-
ton Place will tangle with Ottawa Junior Senators. Kanata will also play host to the league’s annual ‘Winter Showcase’ just before Christmas. However that three-day event, which is a virtual mirror image of the opening competition in September, will be staged at Bell Sensplex and not KRC. Canadians’ opponents in the winter event will be Gloucester on Saturday, Dec. 17 and Cumberland Grads on Sunday, Dec. 18. Both will be 1 p.m. starts. The league schedule begins Sept. 9 and ends next March 11. Carleton Place’s first regular season game following the opening showcase will also be in Kanata. Canadians will visit Stallions on Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 7:30 p.m. It will be their third consecutive game at KRC. Ironically Stallions will be the visitors for Canadians’ final regular season home game next March 10 at 3 p.m. The Carleton Place home opener will be against arch rival Smiths Falls Bears on Saturday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. Read the EMC for complete details on the season opener which will appear in an upcoming edition. The game will be preceded by special events including a ‘Tail-Gate’ party sponsored by the Carleton Place Sister City Committee.
