Grenville.” “The biggest reason (for applying) was that I’d be directly involved with a volunteer fire service program, which is what excites me,” Hutt added. Upon accepting the position, Hutt knew North Grenville was where he wanted to be well into the future. “…This will be a long-term or permanent position,” he said. “As long as I can contribute to the firefighters, the municipality and the community, I will certainly be an active member within the fire service.” Hutt’s decision to accept the position is one that was wholeheartedly supported by his wife and two sons. “My family has really been very, very supportive in all of my decisions and are very excited about this new position and role,” he commented. “Being chief requires lots of commitments so they (family) will probably play an active role in the fire depart-

EMC Entertainment – Come see what local talent has to offer as the Kemptville Youth Musical Theatre Company’s (KYMTC) summer camp participants show off their acting chops tomorrow (Aug. 26) and Sunday (Aug. 28) with their production of ‘Charlotte’s Web.’ All members of the public are welcome to attend these free shows (the Aug. 26 show begins at 7 p.m. and the Aug. 28 at 2 p.m.), which will take place in the North Grenville Municipal Centre theatre. “This is a free show and the kids have worked really hard, so we’d like to welcome everyone to see it,” noted summer camp co-organizer and KYMTC veteran Kathleen Lacelle. Throughout the summer, KYMTC has offered three summer camps for youth in Grades 2 to 8, organized by Lacelle and fellow KYMTC veteran Phillip Konopka. Geared at providing local youth with exciting and rewarding theatrical experiences designed to increase confidence, self-esteem and other skills, the first two camps ran from July 4 to 15 and July 18 to 29. The final camp, which includes the production of ‘Charlotte’s Web,’ kicked off Aug. 2. The camps foster vocal, dance, drama and visual art skills in participants, as well as giving them the opportunity to learn how to style hair and makeup for a theatre production. “We’ve had pretty good enrollment this past summer,” Lacelle said. So for the past month, participants have been busy learning how to stage musical theatre numbers and skits, as well as design and paint sets, props and costumes from Lacelle and Konopka. Lacelle has been the artistic direc-

EMC News – Even though he’s only been on the job for a few weeks, Kemptville Fire Department’s (KFD) new chief Paul Hutt seems to be a natural fit within the organization. Hutt began his duties as fire chief Aug. 1, taking over from interim chief Harold Workman who was filling in temporarily after longtime fire chief Tim Bond retired in May. He was one of approximately 30 candidates who applied for the vacant chief’s position. Hutt noted the whole department has been particularly welcoming. “It’s exciting and it’s been very welcoming from the firefighters,” he noted during an interview with the EMC at his new office in the fire hall last week. “The (Municipality of North Grenville) staff have been fantastic as well and so have the members of the community. Overall, it’s a very positive atmosphere and I’m

excited to start a new chapter as chief in North Grenville.” Hutt has 18 years of firefighting experience, 11 of which were spent in a dual role as a volunteer firefighter with the former Township of Osgoode as well as serving as their bylaw enforcement officer. Following the amalgamation of the City of Ottawa in 2001, he became a member of the rural division of the Ottawa Fire Service, making his way through various ranks from firefighter, to lieutenant and captain. Prior to being named the new KFD chief, Hutt most recently served for six years as a rural sector chief with the Ottawa Fire Service, managing four stations including those in North Gower, Osgoode and Metcalfe, where he was responsible for 125 volunteer firefighters. While he has an identical twin brother Phil who serves as a volunteer firefighter, Hutt said his family doesn’t have a lengthy firefighting history

but since childhood, he always wanted to be in the public service helping others. “I’ve always liked getting involved, not only in the community but I believe I have assets to help people,” he stated. “Growing up, certainly the focus of high school when looking at different career options, was being in an emergency services role. And that’s the direction I’ve taken.” Hutt, who currently lives in the Osgoode area, made the decision to apply for the KFD chief’s position because he enjoys rural fire departments and was attracted by the growth of the North Grenville community. “My roots are with a community-based fire service; a volunteer service,” he explained. “And when this position became available, it was attractive to me. I like working in smaller municipalities as opposed to big cities and there’s lots of opportunities and growth taking place in North

treal on July 18, 1950. He grew up in a well-to-do family in a well-to-do town, Hudson Quebec, an Anglophone community. He earned university degrees from McGill in Montreal and York University in Toronto. Later he taught at Ryerson University in Toronto which was his long-time home. His first foray into politics was in municipal government. He served on both the Toronto and later Metropolitan Toronto councils for a combined 20 years. He was also chair of the Toronto Board of Health, vice-chair of Toronto Hydro and president of the Canadian Federation of Municipalities. His first marriage to Sally Halford, his high school sweetheart, produced two children. The couple divorced in 1983. Layton ran twice federally, in 1993 and again in 1997, losing on both occasions. In 2003 he was elected NDP leader before actually holding a seat in the House of Commons. That success ulti-

lowing the announcement of his death, led by a statement from Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “I was deeply saddened to learn this morning of the death of Jack Layton,” Harper said Monday. “When I spoke with Jack following his announcement in July, I wished him well and he told me he’d be seeing me in the House of Commons this fall. “This, sadly, will no longer come to pass. “On behalf of all Canadians, I salute Jack’s contribution to public life, a contribution that will be sorely missed. “I know one thing: Jack gave his fight against cancer everything he had. Indeed, Jack never backed down from any fight. “To his wife Olivia, his family, and to his colleagues and friends, Laureen and I offer our heartfelt condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.” Quebec native Layton was born in Mon-

Successes Under Layton’s leadership the NDP raised its seat total from 13 to 19 in the 2004 federal election. During the 2006 vote, in which Harper was first elected PM at the head of the Conservative Party, Layton and the New Democrats edged up to 29 seats in the Commons. In 2008 their total jumped to 37, just six behind the highest ever seat total achieved by the party under former leader Ed Broadbent.

Then came this year’s famous effort in which the NDP nearly wiped the sovereigntist Bloc Quebecois off the political map in Quebec, winning 59 of the province’s 75 seats while the Bloc fell from 47 to just four. Layton was clearly the star of this year’s election. Despite the prostate cancer which was diagnosed in 2010 and despite the mysterious broken hip he was everywhere, rallying his party to Official Opposition status for the first time. On May 2 nearly 4.5 million Canadians voted NDP. Just nine weeks later Layton, whose haggard appearance shocked Canadians, called a news conference to say he was suffering from another unspecified form of cancer. He said he would temporarily step down as party leader. Newly-elected West Quebec MP Nycole Turmel, a long-time labour leader, took over (controversially as it happens) as interim party leader.

EMC News - Canadians of all political stripes are mourning the untimely passing of federal Opposition Leader Jack Layton. He died of cancer at his Toronto home early Monday at age 61. In eight years as leader Layton took the New Democratic Party to new heights culminating with their strong showing in Quebec in the May 2 federal general election which lifted the party to official opposition status for the first time. Just weeks after he and his wife Olivia Chow (she’s also an NDP Member of Parliament) were installed at Stornoway, the official residence of the opposition leader in Ottawa, a gaunt and pale Layton held a news conference to announce he was involved in a second battle with cancer. He had beaten an earlier fight with prostate cancer which sidelined him briefly last year. A determined Layton hobbled on a cane during the spring election campaign as he contended with a surgically repaired broken hip. Fighting off the pain he was the star in the most successful election in the history of the party. The NDP vaulted over the Liberals winning 103 seats after holding just 37 in the previous federal Parliament. The slumping Liberal Party claimed just 34 seats in the House of Commons, a sharp decline of 43. But just 16 weeks after his greatest triumph Layton succumbed to a terrible disease. His death was announced in a statement released Monday by his wife and his children Sarah and Michael. “We deeply regret to inform you that the honourable Jack Layton, leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada, passed away at 4:45 a.m. today, Monday August 22. “He passed away peacefully surrounded by family and loved ones.” A state funeral will be held in Toronto Saturday. Tributes to Layton began pouring in immediately fol-

cessfully contested the riding of Toronto-Danforth, the seat he continued to hold at the time of his passing. Teamed with the Hong Kong-born Chow who he married in 1988, Layton and his wife became the champions of the political left, first in Toronto and later in Canada. A former Toronto city councillor, Chow joined him in Parliament by winning the Trinity-Spadina constituency in the January 2006 election.

This year Paula Sanderson of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire – Captain Hooper Chapter (IODE) helped out with the Connections Program’s Back to School Supplies Project.

Back to school supplies distributed to children in Lanark County

EMC News – It’s that time of year again! With many young people in our community gearing up for back to school there are supplies that are always needed. This process can be a positive one for many students in Lanark County, as they purchase all of the things they’ll need like glue sticks, new backpacks and markers. For some in Lanark County though, this time of year can be one of the hardest. Many households, often with more than one child, are faced with the cost of these supplies. That’s where Connections comes in. For several years, Connections has been putting together “Back to School Kits” for families in need in our community. They compile lists of the supplies that are required and call upon local businesses and organizations to help fund the project. United Way of Lanark County has chosen to support this cause once again by donating $2,000 to the project. “For a child to walk into

school on the first day knowing they have a shiny new backpack and all the supplies they will need offers them the confidence they need to start the school year right,” said United Way of Lanark County executive director Sarah Bridson. “This project allows both parents and students in need to focus on the education of the student and move forward in a positive way. We are thrilled to be part of this very worthwhile project,” she added. “This year, 222 kits were distributed to young people in our community,” Cattis Esbensen, coordinator of Connections reported. “Sixty-nine were distributed in Carleton Place and Almonte, 19 in Lanark, 59 in Perth and 75 in Smiths Falls. The funds and supplies we receive from organizations is greatly appreciated and we could not run this program without that support. We are delighted that United Way Lanark County chose to be a partner in this project once again this year.” Connections staff and volunteers work tirelessly for

days purchasing supplies and then making the kits for students in elementary and high schools. Paper, pens, crayons, markers, erasers, sharpeners, math sets, scissors, pencil cases and tissue boxes were purchased for the kits and packed on Aug. 10 at the offices of Lanark Community Programs, located at 30 Bennett St. in Carleton Place. Volunteer helpers Aug. 10 were Phyllis Donnelly and Paula Sanderson of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire – Captain Hooper Chapter (IODE). This year, the project received support from the United Way of Lanark County, Staples (Carleton Place and Smiths Falls), IODE and individuals. The bags will be delivered to families prior to the start of school. For further information on this or other United Way projects, please contact the office at 613-253-9074 or visit the website at www.lanarkunitedway.com. Submitted by the United Way of Lanark County.

Local author completes his first work, adds a study unit for young students By RYLAND COYNE Editor

Photo by RYLAND COYNE

Author J.G. (John) McKenney displays his new novel Eon’s Door. The attractive artwork was produced by Malcolm McClinton of Oregon. “This is an important scene from the book. He did it and I was just blown away by the quality of the artwork,” John says. through book reports. “I was shocked and overjoyed to find out they absolutely loved it and raving about it. Then when I told them it was me, they didn’t believe me,” he said with a laugh. “It was very very nice to know, it kind of justified the effort.” As thanks, he included the students in his list of acknowledgments. He also learned to develop his own style and to edit his own material effectively. “The great writers are the ones you find the pages just fly,” he said, noting he tried to ensure the story flows freely from page to page. “Basically just being able to weave different plot lines through the story smoothly so the reader knows what’s going on, eager to follow, eager to turn to the next page. “Once you get into that kind of style where you can figure that out…then things really happen.” Wude appeal While the book will likely strike a chord with young adults, he says he intended for the novel to appeal to a wide audience. “This has a strong environmental message to it, even though it’s not preachy. A 12 year-old…can read it just for the excitement of the story itself. But a 50 year-old might say ‘I see things below the surface here that mean more to me from an environmental

or nature kind of standpoint.’ “The characters and the plot itself really revolve very strongly around nature and the characters’ connection to it,” he said. Teacher in him shines through The teacher inside the author came through as he completed the novel. Not satisfied with the work alone, he wanted it to have purpose as well. He’s built a detailed study unit that conforms with the Ontario curriculum standards that elementary teachers can use free of charge by downloading it off McKenney’s website: www.jgmckenney.com. “There are so many teachers out there who love reading fantasy themselves and trying to look for a book and a unit that will work with them. So I said, “I’ll make the unit and if you like the book, it’s there for you to use,’” he said. He says several teachers in Smiths Falls and Perth are reading the book this summer and considering using the unit with their students this year. The unit itself offers the students opportunities to expand their vocabulary and respond to questions that allow them to better understand what’s happening and to reflect on what they’ve read and apply it to their own experiences. Should any teachers choose to pick up the unit, he says he’s also available to come in and talk to the students about the

process and the story. “I’ve

EMC Lifestyle – John McKenney always had a love of novels that could transport him to another world. Now, he’s joined the fantasy genre by producing his own great adventure. The long-time educator, who currently heads up the Co-operative Education program at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI), recently completed a longterm project with the publishing of Eon’s Door. This was truly a labour of love for the Otter Lake resident. He says he started to dream about the concept of the book more than five years ago, but with the challenges of a full-time teaching position to deal with, time spent on writing was limited to the summers. He still recalls what went into his decision to start on the project. “Having been an English teacher for a number of years, I’ve always loved reading fantasy myself and noticed a lot of my students really enjoyed reading fantasy. I thought, after a number of years of reading it, why not write a story? I thought I knew enough about what works in stories and what doesn’t work, so I sat down and began the process.” While he never envisioned the book taking as long as it did to complete, he was determined to see it through. More than simply for himself, he says he owed it to the characters in the novel to reach a conclusion. “I’ve lived in this world long enough putting things together, but once you get invested in it, it’s almost like you feel compelled to finish it for the sake of the story and the characters who are in the story. They deserved to have their story come to an end,” he said. The effort of creating and then writing the novel has been a huge learning experience for the first-time author. With encouragement from his peers early on, he developed confidence that what he was producing was on the right track. “For anyone who’s writing, once they think they’ve got something they can finish and that will actually be worth the effort, then you say ‘I’m going to devote the time to do it,’” he said. After completing an early draft of Eon’s Door, he even tested it on students in his Grade 9 English class at SFDCI. He told them he had a work from a local author and asked them for their feedback

schedule too,” he said. McKenney hopes a number of positive reviews will help him get the word out about the novel. The first one done by LL Book Review was encouraging, he says. It was written by a “very well spoken 14 year-old from the U.K. He reviewed the book and raved about it.” The educator-turned-novelist has another seven or eight to come from other reviewers. “I’m eager to find out what they’re going to say but I’m quite happy with the initial results,” he said. He admits, though, that the publishing world is crowded and that it will take plenty of work for his novel to get known. “It’s a marketing challenge to try to get a book out when there’s so much competition out there,” he said.

One of Lombardy Karting Association’s own places third in class at Canadian nationals EMC Sports – The Aug. 13/14 weekend was a busy one for some of the members of the Lombardy Karting Association and C2 Kart Supply as they competed in the Canadian Nationals in Mont Tremblant, Quebec. More than 275 karters from all across Canada were on hand to race for the title of Canadian champion in eight different classes. Steven and Scott Clark, along with Martin and Sylvain Coursol would be racing for the Briggs Senior Crown, and one of our local favourites, Dale ‘Stiffy’ Hilton would be running in the Briggs master class. Their Briggs and Strattonpowered Birel chassis would be tuned by C2 head tuner, Gord Costello, with the help of James ’10 Pin’ Blair and Gaston Coursol. Practice started on the morning of Thursday (Aug. 11) and it was evident right away we weren’t in Lombardy anymore. The track configuration went from flat out straights to corners with elevation changes that brought the karts to a crawl along with a spec tire that was so sticky it felt like the brakes were on. As the day went on, we started to make progress and went from being three seconds off the pace to just a few tenths at the end of the day. Friday (Aug. 12) was spent trying to find that edge that would put us to the front as we did more practice rounds along with a qualifying heat to finish off the day.

his last lap encounter with the curb had flared up some major rib pain from a past injury. By the time we got to our practice, the rain had stopped and the track had dried. The prefinal went well with Scott placing ninth and Hilton finishing third in his class. The final to crown the champions was not good for the Lombardy/C2 senior group as the best finish went to young Steve Clark who ended up 11th. Due to some on-track contact, the other drivers were unable to finish in the top 10.

Hilton was one of more than 275 karters from across Canada who participated in the event, which also included locals Steven and Scott Clark and Martin and Sylvain Coursol. Saturday started off as a nice but cloudy day until the rain set in. Everything we learned on the previous day just washed away as we prepared our rain setups for the first round of practice. Good times posted Our drivers didn’t know what to expect as they hit the

track but it was soon evident that we had a combination that seemed to work great. Everyone was all smiles as they came through the scale line and with some minor adjustments, we were ready for round one of qualifying. Qualifying went extremely well as Scott set the fastest lap time out of the 17 kart field

as well as Hilton qualifying in third place of the Masters class. The final heat on Saturday was on our rain setup and in the senior class, the competition was fierce with only Scott getting into the top 10 with an eighth place finish. The Masters class was another story with Hilton battling it out all

race only to go wide on the last lap, giving up second place for a third place finish. Rainy final On Sunday, we awoke to heavy rain for the final day of racing. Hilton was very excited because of his performance the previous day in the rain, but

The Master’s final was a different story though as Hilton continued to battle it out even with the pain of his injuries to finish third overall and take his place on the podium. This was the first year for the Briggs and Stratton engine at the national level and Lombardy being one of the first tracks in Canada to run the Briggs program took this opportunity to see how we stack up to the rest of the country. “We were very close,” commented Costello of C2 Kart Supply. “None of our drivers had ever raced this track before or had been exposed to this level of competition. Coming home with what we had learned from this experience will definitely make our drivers better.” For more information on the Lombardy Karting Association, please visit www. lombardykarting.com or find out about C2 Kart Supply at www.c2kartsupply.com.

COMMENTARY Turning up the heat

The South Mountain Fair, kicked off Aug. 18 and ran through to Aug. 21. The 119th edition of the agricultural fair featured something for the whole family to enjoy, including several new features this year, such

as a parade through South Mountain Saturday, which was open to anyone. Above, Brady Nichol had fun watching the pony show.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR REAL offers thanks for bottle drive assistance DEAR EDITOR:

The Rideau Environmental Action League would like to thank everyone who donated their empties to REAL’s bottle drive on Aug. 5 and 6. REAL would also like to thank the staff and management of The Beer Store who allowed members of REAL to set up a display and helped make the bottle drive a success for a second

year in a row. The money raised will go to support local environmental projects here in Smiths Falls. Yours truly, Dan and Cathryn Davidson REAL

EMC Editorial – It’s the first conviction of its kind in Ontario. It’s very unlikely to be the last. Earlier this month, an eastern Ontario resident pleaded guilty to a charge of causing distress to an animal in accordance with the OSPCA (Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) Act. As a result of her plea, the woman was handed a $200 fine and a one-year probation. In this particular case, the Ottawa Humane Society reports the individual had left two five-month-old poodles in a locked car while she went shopping. While the temperature outside was 27 Celsius, the heat inside the oven-like vehicle became unbearable for the animals. More than half an hour later and with the dogs showing obvious distress running from side to side inside the van in a bid to get out, police officers and humane society officials were able to find the owner in the store and have her unlock the doors. According to the OHS, the animals were then rehydrated with water, then sheltered in the cool, air conditioned OHS vehicle. It’s a landmark case in more ways than one. First, the conviction gives credence to the new law which serves to clamp down on thoughtless pet owners who continue to leave their animals in sweltering cars without regard for their comfort or safety. More importantly, it provides a platform from which to build awareness of the issue and the need for pet owners to be more responsible for their animals. The advice, of course, bears repeating. If you’re heading out to shop or a visit somewhere that dogs or cats aren’t welcome, simply leave them at home. Too often, it seems, people become distracted and forget they’ve left their pets in an enclosed area that will cause distress. While such an act may not be intentional, the fact they were left in a car on a hot day with no water is cruel and will now result in provincial charges. In the case of the Ottawa woman and her two poodles, she was fortunate they survived. When Ottawa Police and OHS officials took a temperature reading inside the car, it read 44 Celsius. The majority of pet owners take their responsibilities seriously. For those who don’t, notice has now been served…the heat will be turned up on them if they continue to ignore the law.

Youngsters learn bean bag justice from Aunt Lena

EMC Lifestyle - Aunt Lena wasn’t really an aunt at all. We called her Aunt because in the ’30s you wouldn’t dream of calling an elder by her first name. She came to us every fall and stayed until maple syrup time in March. She brought all her possessions in one large tapestry bag, and all year moved about from farm to farm. I realized many years later that Aunt Lena had no home, and this was the only way she could avoid the poor house. When she came to our farm it was with the thought in mind that she would knit countless pairs of mitts and socks, mend those with holes in them, and sew buttons on anything that needed them. This was how she earned her keep. As she moved on to the next farm in a few months it was to carry out other chores at which she considered herself an expert. Boiling sap in the spring,

baking for the threshing gangs in the summer, and helping feed the work crews who went around cutting wood in the fall. Aunt Lena was a good sewer. But she wouldn’t use Mother’s treadle machine, preferring to sew everything by hand. She had a big pin cushion stuffed with wool that she wore on her wrist, held there with a tight elastic band. Sometimes she would let me put it on. Those depression years on the farm were times of resourcefulness. There was no money for frivolous expenditures...and so most of our toys were home made, and one day Aunt Lena said she would make us some new bean bags if Mother could spare her some ticking. Audrey and I fetched a pan of dried beans from the cellar. Aunt Lena ran her hands over them, picking out the black ones and bits of dirt. She

hand-sewed little oblong bags and it was my job to stuff them with the dry beans. When they were full, Aunt Lena folded over the open edge and made neat blanket stitches all along the tops. When she was finished we had six brand new bean bags. We did nothing more with the bean bags than toss them back and forth across the room, or aim them towards an 11-quart basket propped against the wood box. That night, when the new bean bags were finished, we couldn’t wait to redd up the kitchen so that we could toss them into the basket, or play catch. We pushed the table back

against the wall, moved all the chairs and generally cleared the kitchen of any obstructions. My brother Emerson, the biggest of the boys although not the oldest, said we would have to pick teams for the basket toss. He carried a lot of clout in our household because of his size. Because there were five of us, that left one of us out of the game. But Emerson had a solution to that problem too. We would take turns standing at the basket to toss back the bean bags to the players. It goes without saying that Emerson wasn’t the one put at the basket. It was to be me.

THE EMC - 8 - Thursday, August 25, 2011

I wasn’t the least bit happy, but he said it would soon be my turn and not to be such a big baby. I positioned myself at the basket. The tossing began. We weren’t long into the game when we found that Emerson had a different set of rules for his team than anyone else’s. If Audrey’s bean bag came to rest on the handle or the edge of the basket, it was considered out. It didn’t matter where his landed, if it was touching the basket, it was in. This disparity in the rules led first to a shouting match. That’s the way all our fights started out. But this one soon progressed to shoving, which Mother would not tolerate in the kitchen. She let a roar out to us to settle down. Always anxious to keep on everyone’s good side, I pointed out that I wasn’t involved. All I was doing was looking after the basket. Father of course never took his eyes off the Ottawa Farm Jour-

nal. Unless it appeared one of us was going to be maimed for life, Father let us fight it out. Aunt Lena was knitting in the corner. Emerson finally got physical as I knew he would. He hit Audrey on the head with a bean bag. It was hard enough to send her reeling. She threw one back, missed him by a mile and it landed on Aunt Lena’s lap. She quietly put her knitting aside, gathered up the bean bags and went to the Findlay Oval. She lifted the lid and fed one bean bag after another into the flames. We stood paralyzed and said nothing. There were two lessons to come out of that fight. The first was that any elder in the house, be they relative or not had the authority to discipline as they saw fit. The second lesson was that nothing smelled quite as badly as six bags full of white beans as they popped and burned in the Findlay Oval.

No room for elderly in Ontario hospitals, coalition charges EMC News – A coalition of health care workers is challenging Ontario’s political parties to explain their plans to deal with what they say is a growing shortage of resources available to care for the province’s senior citizens. Representatives of the Ontario Association of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists (OSLA) and the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions/ CUPE have launched an Ontario-wide campaign leading up to this fall’s provincial election. Mary Cook, executive director of the OSLA, and Michael Hurley, president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions, were in Perth Monday, Aug. 22 to outline their concerns and to announce a new hotline which has been set up for members of the public and former hospital patients to call in to talk about their experiences. Press conferences were also held in Brockville and Kingston Monday. Hurley said Ontario has the fewest number of acute hospital beds per capita of any developed economy in the world. As a result, he said, patients, especially the elderly, are being discharged while they are still acutely ill. Although never discussed publicly, said Hurley, there appears to be an “unconscious collusion” taking place that leads to elderly patients being discharged to make room for other patients. “We know that that happens, anecdotally,” said Hurley. A recent study by the Canadian Medical Association also concluded that “elderly patients are getting short shrift in the health care system,” Hurley added. As well, Hurley said, “we have the shortest lengths of stay in Ontario of anywhere in Canada.” In Ontario, according to information from the health care workers’ coalition, 18,500 hospital beds in Ontario have been closed over the last 15 years. Hurley said workers are concerned that further downsizing, and the movement of services, such as surgery, from smaller community hospitals to regional centres, may be on the way. The members of provincial parliament for Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington and Leeds-Grenville, Randy Hillier and Steve Clark, have both expressed concern about smalltown health services moving to

Kingston and Brockville, Hurley said. Cook said standard procedure calls for stroke victims to be assessed within 24 hours. Assessment of the impact of the stroke on the patient’s ability to speak is part of that process. The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital now has only a .5 speech-language pathologist position, said Cook, adding that if a person needs an assessment while the pathologist is off, it won’t take place within 24 hours. “That’s unacceptable,” she said. Cook said a report from the Clinical Evaluative Sciences Institute stated that discharged

The OSLA and Ontario Council of Hospital Unions’ hotline was launched at the end of July and will continue to operate until the provincial elec-

stroke patients receive an average of 10 home visits. However, the best practice standard of care calls for 62 visits. Many stroke victims are not getting any rehab services at all, Cook said. Hurley said the availability of home care services for patients who have been sent home is much less today than it was prior to cuts that were made in the mid-1990s. Hurley and Cook said the health care providers’ associations are speaking out on behalf of their members, who are afraid for their jobs if they speak out. The hotline number is 888-599-0770.

Walk for someone who cannot Fundraiser for ALS research, programs and equipment returns Sept. 17 EMC News - Next month hundreds of people will lace up their comfortable shoes and take a walk to raise money and awareness of ALS. And local residents are encouraged to participate. The closest walk for the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville chapter of the ALS Society is in Smiths Falls at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 (7 Main St. E.) on Saturday, Sept. 17. Registration is at 9 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m. ALS, which stands for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is most commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease named after the famous baseball player who had the disease. ALS is a progressive and fatal paralyzing neuromuscular disease. Within two to five years after diagnosis, 80 per cent of those living with ALS lose the ability to move, speak and eventually breathe. Every day, two to three Canadians are diagnosed and every day two to three people die from ALS. Last year, the Smiths Falls Walk for ALS raised more than $35,000. The organizing team hopes the same level of support will be shown again with this year’s event. In total, ALS Ontario raised $1.4 million last year through the Walk for ALS. Donations go towards providing equipment, such as lifts, wheelchairs and air mattresses; support programs for those living with ALS and funding research for a cure. Tracey Cummings, Regional Manager of ALS Ontario, said it is important to generate public awareness of neurological conditions, noting the percentage of people with these conditions will increase significantly in the coming years. She said that right now Ontario has 1,200 people with ALS and there are 2,700 in the entire country. ALS is a progressive degenerative disease of the motor neurons. It is characterized by progressive spasticity (involuntary muscle tension and spasms) and it affects the low-

er limbs, trunk, upper limbs, and bulbar muscles, usually in that order and it is often fatal. Comparing ALS and PLS PLS affects the upper motor neurons alone, while ALS affects the upper and lower motor neurons. According to a PLS fact sheet which is put out by the ALS Society of Canada, the nerve cell bodies of the upper motor neurons reside in the brain, where they control the activity of the lower motor neurons, which reside in the spinal cord. In PLS, there is no evidence of degeneration of spinal motor neurons that occurs in ALS. PLS is more gradual and less devastating than ALS. Unlike ALS, PLS does not result in muscle wasting, and although it is disabling, it is not fatal. It is easier to understand either condition after speaking with somebody who lives with it everyday. Garry Sansom is a Brockville resident. He is very intelligent, articulate and incredibly gifted technically and he has PLS. Garry’s Story “My story starts with going to a theatre downtown with my girlfriend in January, walking across Bay Street from where I parked the car – I got half-way across and my legs wouldn’t move.” (From the cold wind.) “My friend helped me across the street.” Garry was taken out of the wind and his legs thawed enough to let him walk; the incident scared his friend. “I went to the doctor about it because I was having a balance problem as well. Then I started slurring my words. It affected my walking and my speech to the point where people thought I was drunk – but I don’t drink. That was in 1993,” Garry described. “There was a series of tests until March of 1995 when a diagnosis was reached – that I have PLS.” MS and MD run in his family so the medical practitioners checked on that. Garry insisted on testing for Lyme disease because it is treatable and he loved outdoor activities. He believes the reason that it took two years to be

diagnosed is because he lived in Toronto where the waiting lists were months long. “At first it was a nightmare and I did not take it well at all,” said Garry. “I went into a serious depression. I was a physical person – involved in martial arts, I went to the gym every day of the week except Sunday. I was basically very active. Faced with the prospect of the imminent loss of all that …” he could not carry on the sentence. One of his best friends came to visit him. “He said, “this is not the Garry I know – smarten up.” That woke me up to make the most of it,” said Garry. He quit his job a year earlier than he was diagnosed. He was teaching apprenticeship training for the Ministry of Labour at Centennial College in Scarborough. He worked there from 1979-1994. He regrets leaving his job when he did because he could have had long-term benefits and salary but the work he was doing was dependant on his physical ability to do the work. Family “I would say they were shocked,” Garry said. “At least I had time to mentally prepare for anything. I didn’t let them know until I had the diagnosis. Why set off alarms or concern until you know what you need to be concerned about? Some needed to be informed. It was easier for me to endure the process without their influence. In other words, my attitude at the time was there is no problem until we know there is a problem. I didn’t want them to treat me differently.” How has life changed? “First of all, I have slowed down,” Garry said. “I was a 110 miles per hour person with everything I did. It knocked me down a notch or two to a better state of humility.” Garry said there are two types of people in the world. One type - life happens to them. The other takes life by the scruff of the neck and does something with it– he said that he is the latter type. “I have pretty much lost my

ability for physical activity – no more swimming, hiking,” said Garry. He gave up riding his motorcycle when he realized that was no longer safe. “I have become what I disdained the most. The desire to never become a couch potato and now I am forced to be.” He is pretty independent though. He makes his own meals, washes himself and does household chores. “I am not one to look for a handout,” Garry said. “One thing I had to look at – a need rather than a preference. It took the physical therapist two years to get me talked into using this wheelchair.” Garry has a healthy outlook He then looked thought-

ful and said, “I may have lost my centre but I still have good kung fu” – referring to patience, humility and discipline. He knows the road taken is not as important as the journey taken along the way. Garry said humility breeds tolerance. He has learned to accept other people’s limitations. He said that it is important to be patient with family and loved ones. “It requires a lot of tolerance and patience,” said Garry. “It’s difficult because of the terminal nature of the disease. People find it hard to deal with what is not treatable, not avoidable and what can suddenly happen.” He said people should not give in to the PLS (or ALS)

and let it take over. “Don’t let it win,” Garry said. “The acceptance is the hardest part.” He said that acceptance is a part of his life now and taking life by the scruff of the neck is still how he proceeds. ALS Canada handles research development whereas ALS Ontario handles support services for people with ALS including: financial assistance to purchase wheel chairs, hospital beds, safety rails and ramps.

Tiny town of Harpers Ferry is steeped in history Staff Writer

EMC Lifestyle – Few communities are so small, but so steeped in history, as Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Even the most casual student of American history will be aware that Harpers Ferry was the site for the famous 1859 raid led by John Brown, who hoped to spark a revolt against slavery. But the town, which today has a population of barely 300 people, has had several other claims to fame since it was founded in about 1750. Harpers Ferry is about a nine-hour drive from Ontario. A visitor is instantly transported back in time to the mid-19th century, with all the buildings in the town looking very much as they did 150 years ago. The statement that the town is steeped in history by no means implies that the inhabitants would have enjoyed living through the events that have made Harpers Ferry famous. The town’s location at the junction of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, and on the route of important lines, has made it an important strategic objective in war. (The mountains ringing the town on all sides also made it very difficult to defend against an attacker.) In the late 1790s the United States government bought 125 acres of land from the family of original settler Robert Harper, and

constructed an important armory and arsenal, producing rifles for the army. The only other federal arms factory in the country was located in Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1804, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark began the famous Lewis and Clark expedition to explore the West by obtaining arms and supplies in Harpers Ferry. The presence of the armory and arsenal was also the reason why Harpers Ferry became the target of John Brown’s raid. Brown, a radical abolitionist, led a group of 21 men in the raid, attacking and capturing several buildings in the hope of using captured weapons to arm slaves. Brown hoped the slaves would revolt, and that the uprising might spread across the South. The raid ended in disaster, with Brown and his followers barricading themselves inside the small fire station, or “engine house,” that was part of the arsenal complex. They were famously surrounded and captured, or killed, by a detachment of United States Marines led by Colonel Robert E. Lee – who would soon be resigning from the U.S. army to serve the new Confederacy. The raid took place Oct. 16-18, 1859. Brown, wounded at the time of his capture, was tried and hanged in nearby Charlestown on Dec. 2. The raid further polarized political opinions on both sides of the slavery issue,

and helped to spark the Civil War which broke out two years later. Brown, of course, lived on in the most famous Union Army marching song, “John Brown’s Body.” On the morning of his execution, Brown wrote: “I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.” Although Brown’s raid failed to ignite a slave revolt, historians agree that it succeeded brilliantly in tearing apart the nation and bringing about the war, which ultimately ended slavery forever. The Civil War proved to be very bad news for the inhabitants of Harpers Ferry, which changed hands eight times between 1861 and 1865. As soon as the war began in April 1861 the U.S. garrison burned the arsenal in an effort to stop the arms manufacturing machinery from falling into the hands of the Confederates. A major battle took place at Harpers Ferry in September of 1862, ending with the largest surrender of Union forces – over 12,000 men – during the Civil War. Both that battlefield and the famous engine house used as a “fort” by Brown’s raiders have been preserved to this day, and can be explored by visitors to Harpers Ferry. The engine house itself has had an See Ferry page 28

This small fire station building in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, which dates back to 1848, was the famous site of the last stand of a group of raiders led by radical abolitionist John Brown who were trying to spark a slave revolt in the south. Moved several times since then, the building now stands about 150 feet from its original location as part of the U.S. government arsenal located in the small town.

Canal Railway Festival a success again this year

365755_0825

By CHRIS MUST

The 2011 Canal Railway Festival had blue skies, great entertainment, fantastic sponsors and volunteers. What would a Festival be without community support? Without this vital component of the Festival, work would not happen, volunteers would go hungry, singer’s throats would be dry, and the visitors would go without direction or coffee! So who do you thank first, with all the generosity of sponsors and volunteers it is hard to know where to start? The Town of Smiths Falls and Parks Canada Rideau Canal for use of the beautiful venue, and the towns Parks and Recreation employees for keeping it that way. Our entertainers and volunteers were thrilled with the hospitality of the Festival, thanks to the generous support of Andress’s Independent Grocer who supplied a wonderful selection of food thru out the weekend for entertainers and volunteer. Best Western Colonel By Inn and the Comfort Inn teamed up to host our entertainers for the weekend. Coffee Culture generously donated coffee to the volunteers early Saturday morning. McDonalds owned by Tim Carter here in Smiths Falls treated Sunday Festival visitors to free coffee. Blair and Sons generously provided water for all the entertainers and volunteers during the exceedingly hot weekend. Derrick Buffam of the Garden Market supplied endless amounts of ice, water, fondue fruit and anything else he could help with. Rental Village with the tents, for much need shelter and shade for the entertainers. Town and Country Chrysler once again provided cars for the parade, and medals for the cardboard boat race. A special thank you to Chuckles Jack who not only hosts the Chocolate Creations but also allow us the use of their restaurant each week for our Festival committee meetings The Record News/EMC and Performance Printing organized the Festival parades and did a great job of editorials and advertising. Smiths Falls This Week, gave us excellent coverage before and after the Festival, as well as Jack FM, Lake 88.1, COGECO Cable and A Channel, we cannot thank you enough. Apollo Computers did a great job of maintaining our web site. Volunteering at the Festival gates this year were Re/Max, St. Francis Masonic Lodge, Eastern Star along with many individuals, thank you. Without the generous support of the following sponsors, we would not be able to bring you the Canal Railway Festival: Dr. Goldie Dixit, Glenview Iron and Metal Ltd., Mac Kat Inc., Hydro One, Rideau Home Hardware Building Centre, Rob Roy’s Pub, A & B Ford, Arnprior Fire Truck, Brotherhood Local 381, Canadian Soapbox Racing Association, CUPE Local 2119, Dawn’s Closet, Downtown Business Association, Giant Tiger, Healey Transportation, Kilmarnock Enterprise, NAPA Auto Parts, Ogilvie’s Auto & Fleet Service, Pools 2000, Smiths Falls Civitian, Sun Life-Robin Hawe, The Vineyard-Eric Beere, Tim Horton’s, Teamsters Canada Rail Conference –Division 381 – Conductors and Engineers, Wills Transfer, Denoco, Royal Canadian Legion Br. 95, Street KIA, Tor-Mac Tree Service,

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Many happy ‘tails’ really come out of LAWS

366681_0825

EMC Lifestyle - It’s Monday morning and I’m writing this week’s column for LAWS at 6 a.m. Since September, I’ve had the luxury of a long morning to sort my thoughts out about what I wanted to write and would email my column off to meet the EMC’s 12 noon Monday deadline by my personal deadline of 12:01 p.m. (pause to thank the EMC staff for their patience with my timing). When I began this volunteer position I often stressed about what I was going to write. How did Tanya Ursual, my predecessor, do this every week for six years without a slip up? There certainly have been weeks where I edged way past the word count I’m allotted for LAWS and others where I worried about how I was going to fill my space and give the shelter animals or my chosen subject matter their worthy due. It became an easier task as the months went by, and from the beginning it has always been an enjoyable one. But now, due to my new part time job, many things will change and my outlook is from a far different perspective. One week and a half ago I began my new job at the shelter. At LAWS. And the scope of what I can share with readers of this column has increased 100-fold. One of the things I thought to do this week is to let people know about some of the animals featured on our web site, in our quarterly newsletter and in this column. A couple of weeks back, Elmo and Buster were two of the dogs featured. These two quiet, loving animals were seized from an unfit environment. Their attachment to each other, the bond between them, was clearly evident at the shelter. Buster is the larger of the two, he’s a lovely shepherd cross who never barks and who will come to stand my his dear buddy Elmo in a slightly protective but never in a threatening manner. Dear Elmo is a Corgi cross whose appearance is absolutely endearing; the Corgi stance (front feet slightly turned out) and a gentle demeanour and facial expression. He isn’t one much for barking either. He always wags his tail in greeting when you visit him in the dog run. He’ll approach you first and Buster, while he was still unsure of the visitor’s intentions, would quickly follow. Soon, though, Buster began to trust us and the visitors to

the shelter, and would amble over to Elmo’s side at a much more leisurely pace. Sweet dogs, who though happy for the company, always seemed to be searching past you for something or someone else. They were inseparable and though slightly mismatched in appearance, there was no way they could be adopted individually. They were twins of heart and soul. Adopting one dog is a huge responsibility; adopting two can be twice as much. We thought it would take a very long time for the right person to appear and see these two for who they are (I can’t bring myself to write, “what they are”), and though we were happy they were safely ensconced in our shelter, all of the staff wanted so much for Elmo and Buster to be able to experience life in a loving home. Life with no fear and life together. It came to be much sooner than we could have hoped. When animals are adopted out from the shelter, there is a happiness on the part of all the staff that is tinged with a bit of melancholy. It’s hard to part with creatures you’ve come to love, but in the very same moment, the joy is immeasurable. To the people who met these two and saw how special they were but knew they themselves did not have the appropriate set up for two dogs, I wanted you to know, Elmo and Buster were “found” by a wonderful family, whose affection for them was immediate and who recognized the twin-like bond they have. Elmo and Buster have left the building. We’ll miss them. News Bites A big thank you to the gang at the Almonte Royal Canadian Legion who recently presented LAWS with a check for $605. Thanks especially to Gwen Robertson, her family, all the legion members and the Charity Bingo participants who helped raise the funds with the Bingo nights. Gwen shared this tidbit with us: this

You can email your story and photos (please, we love receiving them) to shelter@lanarkanimals.ca. The more stories the merrier. Wish List Our need for canned cat food (Fancy Feast and Friskies pate variety) is ongoing. We do wish to thank the kind people who dropped by with food last week, your generosity is much appreciated. We’re in need of paper towel, dishwashing soap and High Efficiency laundry detergent. Our population has increased yet again and thusly, so have the dirty dishes and dirty laundry. This Week’s Pets Angela is a lovely little senior tabby who is quite selfassured but never pushy or rude. Though not hugely fond of other cats, Angela thinks people are pretty great. She loves to be brushed and despite her age, can still be as silly as a kitten. Angela has neat and tidy litter box and grooming habits, speaks to you in a tiny little voice and can fill a room with the sound of her purring.

Tracker is clean and great with people of all ages. However, he will need some obedience training on leash.

EMC Entertainment – The 119th edition of the South Mountain Fair certainly didn’t disappoint as it took over the South Mountain Fairgrounds Aug. 18 to 21. Left, a new feature of this year’s fair was the addition of a parade on Aug. 18. Tammy and Terrence Mudde waved to onlookers as they made their way through the parade on a vintage lawn tractor. Above, Ashley McCaffrey and Hayley Larmon-Code prepare to enter the ring and participate in a horse show on Aug. 18. Below, left, vintage tractors were a common sight at the fair.

level, and Dale is the target of attention. Between the dismal job market and the evil nature of their bosses Nick, Kurt and Dale are left with only one option; murder their bosses. They hire M.F. Jones (Jamie Foxx) to be their murder consultant, and hilarity ensues. Hilarity does ensue. Horrible Bosses is as rude and as crude a film as I’ve seen, but it’s also one of the funniest. Between these three goof balls who are in over their heads, and their absurdly evil bosses, I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s the kind of dark comedy that relies on being able to shock you or catch you off guard. This film is nothing without the bosses, and these bosses are outstandingly evil. Spacey is always a great psychopath, and Farrell really throws himself into the role of a drug addled tool, but it’s Aniston who steals the show.

MOVIE: Horrible Bosses STARRING: Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Collin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx DIRECTOR: Seth Gordon RATING: R EMC Lifestyle - Imagine the worse boss you’ve ever had and then multiply it by about a 1000, and you’ll have some idea of just how bad the bosses in Horrible Bosses are. They’d have to be pretty bad for three guys like Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman), Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale Arbus (Charlie Day) to want to kill them. These aren’t bad guys. They’re hard working fellows who happen to have bosses who make their lives a living hell. Nick’s boss, Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey) is a slave driving psycho. He’s been teasing Nick with the promise

interesting history. In 1891 the small building was sold to a buyer who wanted to use it as an attraction during a world exposition in Chicago. A few years later a Washington journalist spearheaded a movement to preserve the building and bring it back to Harpers Ferry. The engine house ended up on donated land on a farm near the town, where it remained until 1895. Then, in 1909, the building was bought from the farmer by Storer College in Harpers Ferry, and moved to

the college campus. Finally, the building was acquired by the National Park Service, and in 1968 was reassembled at its current location in Harpers Ferry, 150 feet from its original location as part of the armory complex, which no longer exists. A small “Museum of Industry” in Harpers Ferry displays the machinery used to manufacture rifles when the town was home to the government armory and arsenal. Harpers Ferry is also home to a wax museum which recreates the career of John Brown in a series of life size displays, ending with his hanging.

To love and healing powers family can provide during grief EMC Lifestyle – The following are stories from local author Janet Stark’s book ‘Final Scenes: Bedside Tales at End of Life.’ These are true stories told to Stark during her roles in palliative care over the years. Stark is currently the Spiritual Care Director and Chaplain at Brockville General Hospital. The EMC will be publishing excerpts from Stark’s book on a regular basis, which is available by emailing jstark9@cogeco.ca. A Baked Potata I was paged to the ICU one afternoon and went quickly, not knowing what I would find. An older woman had been admitted and was under observation. Her son was just leaving, and I noticed that he leaned over and gave his mother a kiss on the lips. “I’ll see you later,” was all he said and left. After introducing myself, Lenora patted the edge of the bed. I was grateful to sit down and leaned forward to chat. Lenora had come in “with a spell,” as she called it. She seemed comfortable enough; the IV was running and the monitors were humming. She didn’t seem at all anxious, and she didn’t talk very much about her medical condition. Lenora said to me, “I pray all the time, and if the good Lord wants to take me now, I’m ready to go.” She smiled when she told me her husband had gone some years before. I asked about her children. She beamed with pride. “I have two sons and a daughter, and grandchildren too.”

Final Scenes We Have 200 “Great” Reasons JANET STARK

“Are they close by?” I asked. Her face lit up. “Yes, she said, one son lives on one side of me, my other son lives on the other side, and my daughter lives just down the road. I see my grandchildren lots of times.” I remarked at how very lucky she was, to have her family settled so close. We talked about how this was almost unheard of today, as many families are scattered all over the world. “Yes,” she said. “I am so fortunate. I guess the young ones never wanted to leave their momma and papa.” She held my hand tight and we said prayers giving thanks for her life and asking for healing in whatever way God had planned for her. As I was about to leave, I asked if there was anything she wanted. “Well,” she said, “What I really want is a baked potata.” When I went home that night, I put a potato in my briefcase. “We are the clay and You are our potter; and all of us are the work of Your hand.” (Isaiah 64:8) A Cracked Lamp Patti told me this story: “At the time I was in my thirties, the youngest of five kids. Dad had lived with cancer for four years, and now was at the hospital near the end of his life. We were told he didn’t have long left, and

a week and a half later, he was gone, at age 69. After he died, the family gathered back at the house. We are a big family with spouses and children, and I remember talking about my children, who were three and four at the time. Previously, one of my kids had accidentally cracked a ceramic lamp that belonged to dad and mom. It was one of a pair of handmade ceramic lamps my sister-in-law had made as a gift for them. Dad had been annoyed that the lamp was broken, as it was special to him. As we sat together talking in the living room, a strange thing happened. The light on the broken lamp came on and stayed lit for about ten seconds! After it went off, my brother said that something must be wrong with the lamp. I told him that ‘No, it was a sign that dad was here with us in the room, and he was telling us he is all right.’ There were mixed feelings about whether this were possible, but afterward, mom said she thought I had been right. We checked the lamp switch. It had remained in the off position the whole time! After this event took place, that lamp continued to work just fine!”

One foot is in the grave and the other most definitely is in my running shoes.

SECOND SECTION Diverse group selected as Rick Hansen Relay medal bearers By STACEY ROY Staff Writer

EDITOR’S NOTE: Due to technical error, the piece on Dana Wykes of Portland was left out of the article published last week. The paper is publishing this piece and correcting the spelling of her first name. We apologize for this error. EMC Events – When people think of Rick Hansen and his 1982 Man in Motion tour they often think of the benefits as physical and Hansen’s message of equality for all abilities. Well, that’s precisely the message Smiths Falls and area medal bearers plan to bring to their communities this fall when the 25th anniversary relay comes to town. In late October the Rick Hansen anniversary relay will be running into Smiths Falls area where a team of community leaders will be waiting to take the relay from Rideau Lakes to the new arena in Smiths Falls where a celebration is being planned. “Rick Hansen’s goal has been to connect the country via those who are making a difference in the lives of others, and move from one man in motion to many in motion,”

Photo by STACEY ROY

Dana Wykes sits with her eight-year old son, Raef at their home in Portland. The area woman and physical education teacher at Thousand Islands Secondary School will be one of 7,000 medal bearers in Rick Hansen’s 25th anniversary relay this fall.

Modern Square Dancing – The New Generation You would hardly recognize modern square dancing. There is new music, from Golden Oldies to Elvis to current hits. There are new dance steps, exciting new patterns that keep changing, and unique calls to learn. Modern square dancing happens in school halls, resorts and cruise ships. You can travel to dances all over the world. You will find square dance clubs within most countries of the world including Japan, Sweden and Germany – the calls are in English all over the world. Learn to dance and a whole new world of fun and fellowship will open up for you. You’ll never lose your ability to dance “traditional”. But with Modern Square Dancing, you will be able to graduate to more challenging levels of dance that incorporates fitness and friendship in a fun family atmosphere. Who Will You Meet? You will meet people who love action, who are doers, and who like to make friends. Some like to dress up; some like to dress casual. Some are working; some retired. Technicians, nurses, police, teachers, mechanics, clerks, salesmen, artists, homemakers, investors, contractors are all members of Mississippi Squares. They like to dance and travel, and their interests range far and wide. They love people and parties.

said Justan Steele, Ontario Regional Route Coordinator for the Rick Hansen Relay. In 1986 Hansen wheeled through 34 countries in his Man in Motion World Tour to raise awareness of the potential of individuals with disabilities while raising $26 million for spinal cord injury research. This fall a 25th anniversary relay has been organized by the Rick Hansen Foundation. It begins Aug. 24 in Cape Spear, Newfoundland and will recreate the Canadian portion of the original tour, travelling through more than 600 communities, including Smiths Falls and Rideau Lakes. This 12,000 kilometre journey will wind its way from Stittsville into Smiths Falls on the late afternoon of Saturday, Oct. 29 and leave the following morning (Sunday, Oct. 30) en route to Kingston. Unlike the original tour where there was only one man in motion, there will be many in motion this time round. In fact, 7,000 people will have had the honour of carrying the Rick Hansen Medal by the time the event ends in Vancouver, British Columbia on May 22, 2012.

Dancing

Among this honoured list of participants is Dana Wykes of Portland who has spent a career encouraging an active lifestyle in her hometown and work community of Brockville. For Wykes, participating in the Rick Hansen Relay will give her the opportunity to express her pride in her hometown while encouraging young and old to live an active lifestyle. “It’ not so much about sports and winning. It’s about being active and trying,” Wykes said. The area woman has been promoting physical fitness as a physical education teacher. Today, she calls Thousand Islands Secondary School in Brockville home. “I can’t wait to get back to school and tell the kids this is what I’m involved in,” she said. Rick Hansen is a shining example for her students of what one person can do when they put their mind to it. Wykes won’t be alone as she makes her way through the Portland community as she plans to have her two sons and husband at her side. For more information log on to www.rickhansen.com.

Dancing Will Help You Stay Healthy! Walking is one of the safest exercises available. Combine mental stimulation with the joy of rhythm and modern square dancing challenges many aspects of conditioning. Most dancers walk 2 – 3 miles per evening and can burn 280 calories every hour. Using the large muscle of legs and arms strengthens bones and improves general health. It is a safe and social workout.

It Evolved from Tradition It is great fun to get together with friends and swing to the music of a well known band. Toe tapping rhythm and sing-along’s are the themes expressed in the “singing call” where new and favorite calls can be practiced in an upbeat tempo. It is a confidence builder and it is fun! Free Open Houses in September Tuesday evenings in September is your chance to try out this wonderful new activity. Come join us at Brunton Hall in Black’s Corner on the 13th, 20th, and 27th at 7:30 to 10 pm. Come early on the 20th for our complimentary Chilli Supper at 6:30 pm.

“I Was Drag In Kicking And Screaming” MSD is not a spectator sport. It is action and reaction; it keeps you mentally on your toes. Unbelievable as it may be, there are times when only one partner wants to take up square dancing. The unwilling partner signs up reluctantly and then discovers the joys of mental and physical participation. With practice, the moves become as natural as walking. Learning is easy. The caller teaches new steps during the “tip” and then has everybody practice during the “singing” calls. Yes, mistakes are made – a little smile / join back in. Come alone, it is OK. Angels are there to partner with singles and to help the new dancers; they have great smiles.

Biannual regatta proves popular weekend Regatta photos by JASON CODE The 2011 Rideau Ferry Regatta, a biannual event last held in 2009, saw a focus once again on the water, as vintage racing boats from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, capable of speeds of over 100 miles per hour, showed off their stuff for spectators. The action unfolded Aug. 20 and 21. Organizers also offered some activities designed to appeal to younger family members. Thanks to donated materials and some volunteer efforts, children could build and paint their own model boats, free of charge. Templates had also been pre-cut to assemble a choice of three toy boats: a tugboat, sailboat, or motor boat. Shriners were also on site offering face painting. Civitan Club members from Almonte, Lanark, Smiths Falls and Perth staffed a food booth. In keeping with the vintage theme of the weekend, the Rolling Thunder Car Club displayed some classic restored vehicles. At top; Dave Richardson with his Lauterback special GP200 over 650hp; below Vandusen - Jaguar craft; and at left; Bud Clark.

By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com The wide grin pretty much told the entire story. Mika Zibanejad is back in Ottawa, eager as can be to take his best shot at making the Senators roster out of training camp. And yes, September can’t come soon enough for the 18-year-old Stockholm native, who was Ottawa’s top pick (sixth overall) in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. “I’m really excited,” said Zibanejad. “It’s my first (National Hockey League) training camp, so I’m really excited about it.” Make no mistake about it — the 6-2, 195-pound centre isn’t coming here just for the experience. While he’d be fine with a return to Djurgarden of the Swedish Elite League, he’d much rather get started on his NHL career right away and fully intends to make a strong case for himself. “I want to give the coaches a hard decision (about whether) to keep me here or send me back home,” he said. “Hopefully, I can stay here in Ottawa.” While Zibanejad is the Senators’ highest pick in an NHL draft since Jason Spezza went No. 2 overall in 2001, he isn’t feeling any pressure to make a huge impact immediately. “I try to have fun out there,” he

said. “That’s why I play hockey. They picked me for a reason ... I won’t change anything, I’ll still be Mika. I’ll try to play my game and try to bring that to Ottawa. That’s pretty much it.” A year ago, Zibanejad wasn’t high on the radar screen of scouts around the NHL. But his play throughout the season sent his stock soaring skyward as the June draft in St. Paul, Minn., approached. So much so that the Senators couldn’t pass on the dynamic Swede when he was still on the board at No. 6. When he considers how far he’s come in the last 12 months, Zibanejad just shakes his head. “It was a goal for me to just crack a spot back home with a (Swedish) Elite League team,” he said. “So it’s amazing to stand here now. I have to pinch myself in the arm to believe this.”

Since he arrived in Ottawa last week, he’s joined informal skating sessions at the Sensplex alongside the likes of Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson and team veterans Chris Neil and Matt Carkner. As well, Zibanejad has been surprised that some fans already recognize him, even before he slips on a Senators jersey for the first time. “You’re watching them (as a young player) and now you’re skating with them, so it’s pretty cool,” said Zibanejad, who has a special attachment to the No. 93 he’ll wear. “I asked about it and it was available. It’s my favourite number and it’s my birth year, so why not?” Two weeks ago, Zibanejad took part in a mini-tournament in Lake Placid, N.Y., that involved world junior hockey championship hopefuls from Sweden, Finland and the host United States. He found it to be a

2012 NHL All-Star Weekend activity on Jan. 28-29, which will emanate from Scotiabank Place for the first time. TSN, meanwhile, has 10 Senators dates on its 151-game schedule announced today, while also includes 74 broadcast windows on TSN2. Of the 77 games on TSN, all but four will include at least one Canadian team. The Ottawa appearances, all on TSN, include five Wednesday telecasts, four Tuesdays and one Friday, when the Chicago Blackhawks visit Scotiabank Place on March 2. Seven of the TSN telecasts are Ottawa home games. For Senators fans, the biggest highlight figures to be the visit of Dany Heatley and the

rewarding experience. “Especially against the U.S. ... they play in small rinks and it’s tougher (for me) than it is back home,” he said. “It was good competition and a good test for me, to adjust my game to a smaller rink and a higher speed. It was really good.” Zibanejad could fulfil another dream by suiting up for Sweden at the 2012 world juniors in Edmonton and Calgary. But if he’s occupied instead with the Senators, he’s be equally thrilled. “It depends on if I make the team,” he said. “I don’t know if (the Senators) would let me go. But it’s been a dream for a couple of years now, to make the world juniors.” His NHL dream, however, burns equally inside. Come rookie camp in early September, Zibanejad will begin the quest to make it come true. He can hardly wait

Canada’s two national hockey television broadcasters have their eyes pointed toward the Ottawa Senators. Between them, CBC and TSN will air a combined 29 games during the 2011-12 National Hockey League season. The venerable Hockey Night in Canada has 19 appearances in store for Senators fans, starting with the Oct. 8 matchup in Toronto against the Maple Leafs on the first Saturday of the NHL schedule. All but one of Ottawa games on HNIC are Saturday affairs, with four of them being matinee telecasts. The highlight is the Edmonton Oilers’ visit to Scotiabank Place on Feb. 11 as part of Hockey Day in Canada, which will include four games and seven Canadian teams with the return of the Winnipeg Jets to the league. Besides that 2 p.m. telecast in Ottawa, other Saturday afternoon telecasts including the Senators include their visits to the New York Rangers (Oct. 29, 3 p.m.), Philadelphia Flyers (March 31, 1 p.m.) and the New Jersey Devils (April 7, 3 p.m.) in their regular-season finale. Also part of the CBC schedule is the pre-season Kraft Hockeyville matchup between the Senators and Jets at Mile One Centre in St. John’s. That’s a 4 p.m. ET puck drop on Monday, Sept. 26. Another CBC schedule highlight: back-to-back telecasts on March 16 and 17, when the Montreal Canadiens and the Leafs appear on consecutive nights at Scotiabank Place for the first time. The Habs game is on a Friday night, the lone Sens CBC game not on a Saturday. CBC is also the home for

Sundance Studio walking studio tour on Sept. 3 to 5 EMC Entertainment - Located on the outskirts of Maberly, just west of Perth are the enchanted gardens of Sundance Studio. Carmen Allen’s gardens have charmed thousands of guests for the past four years and we welcome you to stroll thru the cedar trail, rest at one of the ponds and engage one of 20 artists who bring their creativity and originality from all over Ontario. As always our passion is care for our environment and enjoyment for our patrons. This year we welcome four new artists to our tour making this one of our largest gatherings of artists in our five year history. Our theme has drawn Penny Gorman and her recycled dioramas, Jayne Ayre sculpts fantasy in clay, Wendo Van Essen natural fibres fit our theme and Mavis Wade creates homes for our feathered friends from gourds. Coupled with our award winning returning artists this year should be the best yet. The Sundance Studio tour takes place Sept. 3 to 5. Every year we search for original artists and this holds true not only in art but our music. We went back to the future and are pleased to welcome Frank Morrison. One of the original Townsmen, they had smash top 10 hits in the 60’s like ‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’’ and ‘We’re Doing Fine’ The Townsmen were opening acts for such international names as The Young Rascals. Accompanying Frank will be a number of local musicians as they blend pop and country from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day. As always Michele and Paul from Fall River Restaurant will be serving their mouth-watering organic menu. Both hot and cold lunches along with organic salads and this year we will offer micro-brewery ales and Ontario wines to compliment your lunch experience as you listen to Frank & Friends offer up their musical experiences. After the tour, drop by Fall River for dinner, a dining experience second to none at Canada’s greenest restaurant. Stop at the welcome tent, chat with Cam about their nearzero solar home, wander the gardens, engage the artists, stop for lunch, tap your toes with Franks and Friends……make it a day at Sundance 2011. As always our motto is “turn off the cell phone, relax and let us entertain you.”. For more information please go to www.sundancestudio.ca. or call Carmen at 613268-2171.

The larger outdoor booths will showcase unfinished furniture for those who like to add projects to their ‘to-do’ lists. Be sure to check out Tom ‘Shorty’ Stephenson of the Valley’s famous Kettle Boys at his booth, where he will be offering demonstrations of old-fashioned rope making techniques. Satisfy those hunger pangs at the Merrickville Recreation Association’s food booth where volunteers will be feeding homemade food to the crowds. All proceeds will go back into serving the recreation needs of the youth of the community. Admission for the antique show and sale is $6 per person and children under 12 get in for free. Parking is also free.

Merrickville Artisans Show also taking place Running in conjunction with the event, will be the Merrickville Artisans Show.

Rideau Lakes Artists’ Association hosting new show this October EMC Events – Rideau Lakes Artists’ Association (RLAA) is switching things around this year, dropping our June show and adding a new fall show while still hosting our well established August show in Westport, in the heart of the Rideau Canal area, a Unesco World Heritage Site. The new fall show will take advantage of the wonderful meeting hall at the North Crosby Community Centre located south of Westport (C.R. 10) at 875 8th Concession Rd, North Crosby. This beautiful

facility will offer a bright and open backdrop for the talents of this dynamic group of artists. The show will take place on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 2 from noon to 5 p.m. The association is very excited about this new show. The North Crosby Community Centre, which is the location of the association’s monthly meetings, offers a bright and open concept in which to display the paintings offered by these artists. It is easy to access with good parking facili-

ties and a shaded picnic area out back. The RLAA artists will be available for a meet and greet on Saturday morning from 10 a.m. to noon with light refreshments being offered. As usual, admission is free, just come enjoy the artwork and the facilities. For more information, call 613-326-0370 or 613-928-3041 or visit our website at www.rideaulakesartists.com.

EMC Lifestyle – When the weather is cold, I often make fajitas. A quick stir fry of chicken, red and green sweet peppers and onion, makes a quick, hot supper. When the weather is warm, I still serve fajitas, but all the ingredients are cold. Cold fajitas have all sorts of advantages. They’re convenient and simple to prepare. Whether there are just two of you or more, you can easily adjust the quantity to suit. Fajitas can be prepared as

diced about 2 cups of shredded lettuce grated Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese 1/3 cup sour cream (optional) guacamole (optional) Preparation is simple. For each serving, place a tortilla on a serving plate, and spread with 1 to 2 tbsp. of salsa. Leave a strip around the outside edge of the tortilla plain. Place some of the cooked chicken down the center of

the tortilla along with some of vegetables and grated cheese. Spread a spoonful of sour cream or guacamole beside this. Fold over about 1” of the bottom edge of the tortilla. Then, starting at one side, roll up the tortilla around the filling. Eat by hand with lots of napkins, because no matter how careful you are, the filling always drips out as you eat these. Serves: 2

Jeep with cold feet needs some TLC

Car Counselor

SAVE UP TO

BRIAN TURNER

EMC Lifestyle - “Help is needed sometimes, right? I own a 1993 Grand Cherokee automatic with an inline six cylinder engine with 214,000 km on it. Little beggar starts immediately in the warm weather but as soon as it gets colder it starts to be a challenge to get it going. At minus 20 Celsius it would take me five minutes to get it going if at all. I have changed the wires, spark plugs, distributor but it did not help. I know it’s still warm out, but I also know winter is coming again. So what makes it so hard to start this thing and which part does not like the cold?” Thank you very much. I’m looking forward to your answer. P. Gasser There were three separate technical service bulletins issued by Jeep for hard starting on this particular vehicle, but only one identifies cold temps as a primary cause: 1) The crank position sensor was and is the most common reason for a ‘crank but no start’ condition and it can fail more often in hot temps than cold. If this sensor is the cause, it will cause the fuel pump and ignition system to cease operations, but will allow the starter to crank the engine. A scanner will help trace a trouble code to this fault if it exists. New sensors from Jeep are $110. 2) The ignition coil was another cause, and while replacements are no longer available from Jeep they are easily obtained from jobber stores, ranging in price from $45 to $90 depending on what type of terminal used. With the mileage on your Jeep, replacing the coil is probably a good idea, whether it’s the cause or not. 3) The muffler/tailpipe was prone to filling with water and freezing due to a poor design (water is a natural by-product of burning gasoline in engines) and that’s why mufflers have a drain hole. This bulletin originally instructed techs to drill an additional drain

hole in the back face of the muffler at its lowest point, but then it was revised to recommend replacing the muffler/tailpipe assembly. The revised muffler/tailpipe assembly is $800 from Jeep, (quality jobber mufflers start at around $160) so I would try drilling a new drain hole first. Finally, I would have the fuel pump tested for pressure. The age and mileage on your Jeep make it a likely suspect. As these can be expensive to replace (jobber stores list the pump only for around $263, complete fuel pump modules can run almost $700 and the tank has to be removed for installation) I wouldn’t recommend replacing one until a pressure test is done by a shop The summer is quickly winding down, and antique and custom car shows will soon be disappearing from the landscape, so get out and enjoy! On Sept. 3 and 4 the Car & Truck Shows return to the Perth Fair (Cars on Saturday, Sept. 3 and trucks on Sunday, Sept 4). On the same Sunday the North Augusta Labour Day Weekend Car Show runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Over in Hawkesbury the Auto Expo 2011 rolls into town with room for over 2,000 cars right downtown on Main Street!

Uniquely Canadian – Designing Canada’s polymer bank notes EMC News – What do a toy canoe, a photograph of the Arctic and maple syrup have in common? They’re all items that people associate with being Canadian. A few years ago, the Bank of Canada was researching its new series of bank notes, and wanted to know what average Canadians would like to see featured on their money. Public consultations in 14 cities gave people a chance to have their say and brainstorm ideas for the new notes. Participants were asked to bring along items they identified as being uniquely Canadian. The list above captures but a few of their treasures. What was clear during these sessions was the fact

that Canadians are passionate about their country. Our new bank note themes and images emerged from these consultations, and in the end, the notes speak to the country’s spirit of innovation. What’s on Canada’s new polymer notes The $100 note focuses on medical innovation and speaks to Canada’s longstanding commitment to medical research. The $50 note features the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Amundsen, a research icebreaker. It supports environmental research and provides the world’s oceanographers, geologists and ecologists with unparalleled access to the North.

The remaining notes have yet to be unveiled, so until they are, you will have to use your imagination to envision what they will look like: • $20 – The Canadian National Vimy Memorial • $10 – The Canadian train • $5 – Canadarm2 and Dextre Where security and artistry meet When launching a new note, the bank needs to address both technical and design requirements. “While we recognize that it’s important for bank notes to be functional and secure, they are a form of art as well – art that we hope will instill pride in all Canadians,” says Martine Warren, scientific adviser with the

bank’s currency development team. Bank note engravers are a rare breed, and historically they used steel plates and etching tools to engrave the portraits and other images we see on bank notes. But engravers have become techsavvy. These days, they use digital tools like specialized computer software, tablets and styluses to craft their designs. Designing for polymer Canada is not the first country to go the polymer route. Bank of Canada experts drew on the experience of other polymer-issuing coun-

tries when devising this new series. The Bank consulted with security experts and searched the world to ensure that our bank notes are stateof-the-art. The polymer material has allowed the bank to integrate new features into the design of the new series. The most striking is the large transparent window that contains a detailed metallic portrait and building that can be seen from both sides of the note. While security against counterfeiting is always the bank’s top priority for a new series of notes, that security is integrated with designs that

In September, our video series will look at bank note production. It’s not a simple matter of starting the presses. With the introduction of longer-lasting polymer bank notes, the Bank of Canada is raising the bar on security and production quality. It’s also about meeting the demand for bank notes.

LABOUR DAY WEEKEND

Be aware of choking dangers for younger children

INROADS

EMC News – Dr. Andrew McCallum, Chief Coroner for Ontario would like to remind all Ontarians of choking dangers that some foods pose to children. While most people are generally well aware of the danger that objects such as balloons, batteries, coins and small toys with removable parts pose to children, food is sometimes not recognized as a hazard. Younger children, especially those under the age of four years are particularly vulnerable as they are still developing safe eating habits, have small airways, have poor chewing and swallowing habits and often don’t understand the dangers associated with consuming food. The following are examples of some of the foods that should be avoided when children are four years of age and under: • Hot dogs/sausages • Grapes • Hard or rubbery candies • Raw carrots, peas and cel-

Frontenac & Lanark Counties

should always be avoided when there is food in a child’s mouth. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to take a basic cardiac life support or life saving course. Courses are offered by organizations such as the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Red Cross, the Lifesaving Society, and St. John’s Ambulance. To learn more about choking hazards and prevention, please visit www.kidshealth. org or www.safekidscanada. ca. Submitted by the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

ery • Nuts • Seeds (watermelon, sunflower) • Popcorn, especially when there may be unpopped kernels • Fruit with pits • Hard fruits (apples, pears) With children under the age of four years, foods should be cut into smaller pieces to minimize the risk of an airway obstruction. Foods such as grapes and hot dogs are of particular concern so these should be cut lengthwise into smaller pieces. Learning to eat safely is a life skill. Parents and caregivers of children are reminded of the following tips when teaching children to eat safely: • Children should sit quietly when eating - running or jumping may increase the risk of airway obstruction. • Teach children to take small bites and chew thoroughly before swallowing. • Talking and laughing

The 2011 Rideau Ferry Regatta, a biannual event last held in 2009, saw a focus once again on the water, as vintage racing boats from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, capable of speeds of over 100 miles per hour, showed off their stuff for spectators. The action unfolded Aug. 20 and 21. The weekend also featured wakeboard demonstrations and included presentations from Jed Ryan above and at left Ben Merkley.

EMC News – More than 150 teachers and staff laced up their running shoes Aug. 16 for the sixth annual QDPE Conference, Physical Literacy – “The New Brain Surgery”, held at Thousand Islands Secondary School. Staff members participated in an array of physical activities focused on boosting brain power, including: Dance for the Health of It, Fitnessgram, Brain Blast and Teaching Games for Understanding. The conference hopes to build capacity in school staff and to offer physical education that aligns with the Upper Canada District School Board’s new fitness testing protocol on physical literacy, said Conference Coordinator Randy Ruttan. Staff members at 60 per cent of UCDSB schools have been trained in the fitness testing protocol with staff at remaining schools planning to follow suit in the fall. With a stronger focus on exercise and physical literacy, grades K-8 students will participate in 30 minutes of physical education each day, said Ruttan. The protocol will require testing of grades 5, 7 and 9 students twice a year to help build a health and wellness profile that will follow them throughout their educational journey. “As a teacher, I’d like to increase engagement in the classroom, for myself and my students,” said elementary teacher Carol Joseph of her reason for attending. “It’s about going back to the basics and having fun.” Teachers and staff learned the important connection between exercise and academic performance from keynote speaker Ted Temertzoglou. Temertzoglou utilized research statistics to demonstrate how physical literacy and exercise can improve student health and cognitive functioning. Ruttan encourages parents to ask questions and to get involved in their child’s physical education program as they would in any other academic program. There is nothing more important than the health and well-being of our children, he said.

Recent fires underline need for working smoke alarms in homes EMC News – The Office of the Fire Marshal (OFM) can now confirm that three separate, tragic fires since Aug. 13 have claimed the lives of four adults and three small children in Ontario. Another adult remains in hospital with fire-related injuries. The absence of working smoke alarms and home fire escape plans are common factors in all three fatal fires. “The tragic incidents from the past weekend could have been prevented. It’s the law to have working smoke alarms,” said Ontario Fire Marshal Ted Wieclawek. “I strongly urge everyone to take a few minutes to test their smoke alarms and practice their home fire escape plans. You are responsible for your children and everyone else in your home and, for ensuring everyone knows what to do if a fire occurs.” A fire on Aug. 12 on Bastedo Ave., in Toronto is believed to have been the result of unattended cooking. OFM investigators have determined that there were no working

smoke alarms in the three-storey house. Two adults perished in the fire. Another fire on that same day, at East Boundary Road in Alexandria, claimed the lives of a woman and her three children. OFM investigators have determined the fire originated on the exterior porch at the front of the home, blocking the only exit from the home. Investigators also have determined that while there was a working smoke alarm on the main storey of the home, there was no battery in the smoke alarm outside the sleeping areas on the second storey. This household had three small children and highlights the importance of having a home fire escape plan. A third fire on Aug. 13, at Ascot Lane in Huntsville, claimed the life of an adult. While OFM investigators

EMC News – The Ontario government is proposing to expand protected leave from work by allowing caregivers to spend more time with family members who cannot care for themselves because of serious injury or illness including cancer or stroke. Currently, Ontarians are entitled to an eight-week unpaid leave of absence to take care of loved ones who are terminally ill. The new Family Caregiver Leave would build on the existing Family Medical Leave (see more at http://www. labour.gov.on.ca/english/es/faqs/fml.php) so that whether a young child spends time in the hospital or an elderly parent suffers a broken hip, family members would be granted extended time to care for and support their loved ones. “When a loved one is sick or hurt, the last thing on your mind is work,” stated Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty. “We understand the need to be there for a loved one when they need care and support. That’s why we want to do what we can to help Ontarians get the time they need so they can focus on what matters most – our families.”

It’s the law in Ontario to have working smoke alarms on every storey of the home and outside all sleeping areas. Failure to comply with the law can result in a ticket of $235 or a fine of up to $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for corporations.

Provincial government proposes additional eight-week leave for family caregivers

Esthetic/Spa services available with Barb Willoughby and Kyla Truelove, both certified estheticians

have not yet determined the cause of this fire, there were no working smoke alarms in the one-storey cottage. To ensure everyone is safe from fire, the Office of the Fire Marshal is urging residents to: • Test smoke alarms to make sure they are working; • Install battery-operated smoke alarms, or electricallyconnected alarms with a battery back-up; and, • Develop and practice a home fire escape plan to ensure everyone knows what to do if a fire occurs.

The proposed amendment to Ontario’s Employment Standards Act would give working Ontarians up to eight weeks of unpaid time away from work. “We want to give working Ontarians the one thing they need most when it comes to caring for sick or injured family members,” explained Charles Sousa, Minister of Labour. “And that is the time to be with their loved one. The Family Caregiver Leave is a matter of compassion and the right thing to do for Ontario families.” The Ontario government is also calling on its federal partners to extend Employment Insurance to those who take advantage of Family Caregiver Leave, just as they do when Ontarians take Family Medical Leave. The Family Caregiver Leave would be separate from the current Family Medical Leave given when a family member is terminally ill. If a relative’s condition becomes terminal while the employee was on leave, they would also be entitled to take eight weeks of Family Medical Leave. A doctor’s note would be required in order to qualify for the leave.

Valley Gun and Hunting Show just around the corner; comes to Carp Sept. 3-4 By TARA GESNER

Staff Writer

EMC Events – For eastern Ontario hunters preparing for the upcoming season, the third annual Valley Gun and Hunting Show is coming to Carp next weekend. Organizer Dave Arbour of Valley Outdoors Promotions

bills the event as “the largest gun and hunting show in Ontario.” The W. Erskine Johnson Arena will welcome visitors Saturday, Sept. 3 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 4 from 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. From vendors across Ontario and Quebec the show will see

upwards of 150 tables stocked with firearms (all types), ammunition, knives and clothing, as well as archery, camping, fishing and hunting supplies. “We have new, used and antique firearms,” said Arbour. “There will be an ATM (automated teller machine) located in the arena.”

Admission to the show is $7 for adults and young people, with children under 12 free when accompanied by an adult. Arbour noted Dave’s Hunter Safety and Firearms Courses and Exams would be on site to answer gun-related questions, as well as provide boating exams (Pleasure Operators Card)

or firearms challenges (Possession and Acquisition Firearm License). To use a firearm, everyone must be over the age of 18 and have a Possession and Acquisition Firearm License. To take the firearms challenge you must have studied the Canadian Firearm Safety

Course Manual. The W. Erskine Johnson Arena is located just north of Scotiabank Place. Take the Carp Road exit off Highway 417 and travel north in the region of 10 kilometres and the arena will be on the right. For further information visit www. valleysportsmanshow.com.

McConnell Golf Makes New Acquisition

What’s Next: September Issue Preview

VIA FLAGSTICK GOLF MAGAZINE - McConnell Golf, LLC has announced the purchase of its eighth premier golf club in the Carolinas, TPC Wakefield Plantation — host to golf’s annual Nationwide Tour event, The Rex Hospital Open. With the purchase, McConnell Golf not only adds another highly ranked private golf course to its stable of offerings, it also adds another popular golf course architect who joins the likes of Donald Ross, Tom Fazio, Pete Dye, Arnold Palmer and Greg Norman in the McConnell Golf fold. Former U.S. Open champion and veteran PGA TOUR player Hale Irwin designed the TPC Wakefield golf course over 217 acres of land amidst the serene natural beauty of Wake County adjacent to Falls Lake, within the community of Wakefield Plantation in north Raleigh. TPC Wakefield opened in 2000 and has hosted a Nationwide Tour event since 2001. “We believe the purchase of TPC Wakefield simply adds another layer of sophistication to McConnell Golf we didn’t previously have,” said John McConnell, CEO and President of McConnell Golf. “TPC Wakefield gives us a Nationwide Tour presence along with a PGA TOUR presence with the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield. Meanwhile, we have the game’s rising stars playing in the ACC men’s tournament at Old North State, the ACC women’s championship at Sedgefield and the long-running Cardinal Amateur at Cardinal Golf and Country Club.” McConnell said the TPC Wakefield Plantation acquisition strategically complements his 8-year-old company’s existing portfolio of golf properties and will receive the same superior level of enhancements dedicated to all McConnell Golf clubs. McConnell Golf offers its members a unique deal: Initiation at one club gains access to eight properties. McConnell Golf members enjoy a sterling collection of highly-regarded facilities all maintained to the same exemplary standard. McConnell Golf is an organization dedicated to delivering quality golf and amenities to its members, and having

Serious golf fans have a very strong connection with their golf clubs. That probably rings most true with the putter, the club used for the most strokes in any golf game. The movement by consumers to buying premium putters started more than a decade ago and the trend continues to grow. In our September issue feature we take a closer look at the trend and highlight some of the products currently on the market and those expected to hit retail in the coming months. We also take a look at custom putters as part of the feature. For our September travel feature we take to the Low Country of South Carolina where Flagstick’s Joe McLean took a journey on a famous bus that culminated in a stop in Hilton Head, South Carolina. It will tease you into immediately wanting to make you winter vacation plans to follow in his footsteps. strategically located courses throughout the Carolinas is a big part of the overall plan that brings exceptional value to 3,000plus members. The par-71, 7,257-yard championship course at TPC Wakefield fits harmoniously with its surroundings and offers golfers of all skill levels an enjoyable experience. Corridors of meticulously sculpted Bermuda fairways are framed by stately stands of towering pine trees, with numerous creeks adding to the course’s beauty — as well as its strategic diversity. In addition, TPC Wakefield Plantation’s championship golf course is complemented by a 2,700-yard, walking only ninehole layout featuring four par-3s, four par-4s and one par-5 — the ideal venue to play a casual round of golf with the family or practice individual skills. On top of membership offerings there are three, five, and seven day packages offered to the general public to access the McConnell Golf Trail. www.McConnellGolfTrail.com

Get Parallel BY FLAGSTICK GOLF MAGAZINE - Far too often you will see amateurs getting twisted into awkward positions when they try to get aligned to their targets. Many times the problem is simply a misunderstanding of proper aim. The core of this problem is the fact that the clubface and body should not be aimed to the same place when you have proper alignment. While the clubface should aim at your target line, the bodyline should simply be parallel to this. Your body does not need to point at the target as well; a mistake many golfers make that leaves them in a twisted mess with no chance of every getting the ball on line consistently.

NEWS

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Jock River subwatershed report now available EMC News – Live in the Jock River watershed? Interested in its environmental health? The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) has released the 2010 Jock River subwatershed report. This information-loaded report summarizes the health of the Jock River Subwatershed by looking at four indicators – forest cover, wetlands, shoreline vegetation and surface water quality. Residents and municipalities in the area now have a reliable set of baseline information for tracking future trends and for targeting stewardship activities. The Jock River watershed drains 555 square kilometres. The Jock flows 75 kilometres from its wetland headwaters in Beckwith and Montague Townships near Franktown, through the rich agricultural lands in the former municipalities of Goulbourn and Nepean, and finally through Barrhaven in Ottawa’s south urban community to the Rideau River just north of Manotick. The health of any watershed is heavily influenced by the good stewardship activities and decisions taking place on the land every day. Landowners in the Jock River watershed are doing their part to improve, protect and restore the watershed’s natural features. These can be simple things like keeping shorelines natural and planting trees to more complicated municipal planning and development projects that protect surface water quality and aquatic habitat through the creation of riparian buffers, and application of stormwater best management practices. The Jock River Subwatershed Report is part of the RVCA’s watershed management mission that recognizes the connections between local awareness, local concern and local action as we work for environmental protection, preservation and enhancement. This information is used for decision-making at all levels (individual, family, municipal, county, provincial). These monitoring efforts help us better understand watershed trends and help focus resource management actions where they are needed the most. This is the second subwatershed report following the release of the 2009 Middle Rideau River subwatershed report. These are summaries, but more detailed information is available online through catchment data sheets. For your copy of this report or to view the catchment data sheets, visit www.rvca.ca and look under ‘What’s New’ or contact Martin Czarski at 613-692-3571 ext. 1163. Submitted by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.

Kemptville 73’s look to build winning team for upcoming season By ASHLEY KULP Staff Writer

EMC Sports – Fall will soon be here, which can only mean one thing: Hockey season is about to begin. After a disappointing last season where they failed to make the playoffs, the Jr. A Kemptville 73’s are in the process of putting together a winning team for the 2011-2012 season. Staff and management of the hockey organization, owned by general manager Paul Brenton, have already held two successful camps this spring/summer, a prospect camp in May and their main camp in July. But the final lineup for the team all came down to their annual training camp, which opened Aug. 19 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. “Through the course of the summer we’re recruiting and then we effectively identify what players will be and won’t be returning,” explained Brenton. Approximately 50 young players from across Canada and parts of the United States, included Connecticut and Massachusetts, traveled to Kemptville to participate in the weekend-long camp. With six senior players having graduated and another seven not returning, there are 13 spots up for grabs as Jr. A clubs are required to have a roster of 23 players. This puts the 73’s in a unique position. “A team that has that many spots open, it gives us more opportunities and makes us attractive to new players,” Brenton remarked. “I expect those returning players to secure spots but they have to earn them. They may get pushed down or out.” Rebuilding the club According to head coach Pat Malloy, who was hired in spring 2010 by the 73’s organization, is excited by what the upcoming season has to offer and to rebuild the team. He hopes a heavy focus on recruiting “determined players with a good hockey sense” pays off on the ice. “This is the start of a new four-year run, because the staff and myself believe junior hockey’s done in a four-year cycle,” he explained, adding that though the team became a Jr. A club in 2008 and there have been growing pains, this year he hopes to turn things

The Jr. A hockey season is about to begin and the Kemptville 73’s are hard at work putting together a winning team to challenge this season. Their annual training camp kicked off Aug. 19 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre where 50 hopefuls vied for spots on the 23-roster team. Above, new associate coach Al Shank shows tryouts a training drill. Left, players were put through the paces during the camp, which lasted the weekend. Photos by ASHLEY KULP

around. “We’re a younger club and have a lot more local talent and unlike years past, we recruited real heavy this year... We’ve covered a lot of ground to try and put an exciting group of young players together.” “Our coaching staff believe this is the most competitive summer we’ve had,” Brenton added. That four-year plan includes assembling a team that will be able to mature and work together as a unit. “We’re putting together a group that can grow together and develop together rather than a group that’s disjointed with players of different ages...that plays the game the way it’s played today, with speed and skill,” Malloy stated.

“...Players graduate and you can’t let that cripple your hockey club and be less competitive year after year. It’s a lot of work,” he added. Malloy, who was most recently an associate coach with the Ottawa Junior Senators before joining the 73’s, has also coached the Ottawa Valley Titans to three championships in as many seasons and also previously served as associate coach with the Australian national mens hockey team. In addition to coaching the 73’s, Malloy also currently works as hockey director at the Peak Academy For Athletic and Academic Excellence, located within Kanata’s Bell Sensplex. He wants to make the 73’s known for an exciting

style of hockey. “We’re working at infusing talent and a brand of hockey that’s fast, talented and fun to watch. That’s key for us,” Malloy commented. “...I’m trying to build balance in the lineup and that’s an issue with a new club. You have to take the time to develop the brand of hockey you want to play. I want that continuity and depth in the lineup.” Plenty of work has gone into securing those types of players and Malloy said he’s “committed to the challenge.” That much is evident in his choice to change up the management of the team. Joining the 73’s are Doug Milne-Smith as associate coach and Al Shank as assistant coach and gone is

former Ottawa Junior Senators coach Rob Dopson. Shawn Patrick, who was an assistant coach last year, has moved on to become a Jr. B scout and Paul Shilton, former director of player personnel and head scout, is also no longer with the organization. Malloy will now take over the position of director of player personnel. Malloy is excited about the new coaching staff and believes Milne-Smith, who won a championship with the Nepean Raiders, and Shank, a longtime coach and teacher by trade, will bring a wealth of knowledge to the 73’s. “When you start to build a team, a younger team, you need to learn things. It’s important to have influence and

experience. Doug has that experience and as a teacher, Al is a motivator and recruiter who can help kids grow and deliver over the course of the season,” he commented. The players also believe in Malloy’s vision. Returning player Ben Hutton, an 18-yearold defenceman from Prescott hoping to spend his third season with the 73’s, thinks this is a great time to be a member of the hockey club. “It’s exciting for sure,” he said prior to beginning the training camp Aug. 19. “... Hopefully we’ll get the best possible team to make the playoffs this year, which is our first goal.” For the upcoming season, Hutton doesn’t have any personal statistical goals to achieve other than to secure an NCAA scholarship. He’s looking forward to bonding with his teammates though. “I love the game of hockey and I love the group of guys we have here,” he commented. “It makes it fun to come to the rink with boys you like and enjoy playing with. It really makes it easier on you.” He and centre Josh Pitt of Spencerville, another player who hopes to return for his third season this year, both think Malloy is a “good fit” for the 73’s. “I’ve gotten to know him and he’s a good coach. He knows what he’s doing and knows the system,” Hutton said. “There’s a better atmosphere here (with Malloy),” the 19-year-old Pitt added. “It’s positive and he gives all players a chance to play.” Pitt enjoys playing for the hockey team because of its local flavour. “It’s close to home and a local organization,” he said of the 73’s. “It has a smalltown feel to it. Everyone in the organization is close and they try to help each other out. I like how the whole community gets involved in the team, too.” Brenton is also pleased with the changes Malloy has implemented as head coach. “Pat really brings a strong development of teaching ethic,” he said. Looking to the Town of Pembroke and their storied Jr. A team, the Lumber Kings, Malloy would like to see a similar display in Kemptville. “I want to see our community behind our team like that someday. I feel that Kemptville is a centre See 73’s page K8

Kemptville native establishing successful career in Canadian theatre Staff Writer

EMC Entertainment – One local resident is quietly making a name for herself as an influential figure in Canadian theatre. Kemptville native Anita Rochon, who got her start with the local Kemptville Players theatre group, is a triple threat (writer, director and actor) and helped form Vancouver’s The Chop Theatre back in 2004 with Emelia Symington Fedy. Dubbing herself a “theatre maker,” Rochon’s love of the stage lies with creating, particularly writing and directing. She has had a hand in helping make more than 25 original works of theatre, including those focused on traditional scripts and others that are movement-based. Most recently, however, she has been receiving accolades from the theatre world, the latest being the 2011 Ray Michal Prize for outstanding body of work by an emerging director, which was announced June 20. Previously, she also earned the prestigious Siminovitch Protege Prize (and $25,000) in 2010. While the awards are a nice perk, Rochon said that’s not what drives her to create. “I don’t think they have really changed me, but they’ve helped me pay off some bills,” she remarked during a recent interview with the EMC. “Awards are a matter of opinion...and within the (theatre) community, people are very happy for you and I’m always happy for people who win awards, but very few times do you get pockets of money.” The 32-year-old daughter of Anna and Paul Rochon, attended the prestigious Canterbury High School’s theatre program when growing up in Kemptville and remembers being bitten by the theatre bug around age 15. She admits that her family wasn’t one centered around the performing arts, but that her parents were very encouraging of her career path. “I honestly don’t know where it (love of theatre) began,” Rochon commented. “I do know that my family facilitated that and they listened to that desire. They’d enroll me in drama camps and take me to little classes here and there. They gave me the tools early on.” While at Canterbury, Rochon was surrounded by wonderful teachers, but upon gradua-

Anita Rochon four learned on their journey. “It’s a really special show to me and reaches very far and very wide but is also very personal,” she said, adding that the documentary-style of the show makes it interesting for the audience. “...We were creating a show that people from a fairly large spectrum and all ages and walks of life could enjoy.” Rochon recently brought ‘KISMET one to one hundred’ to the Magnetic North Theatre

Festival in Ottawa this past June. “Being able to achieve being in that festival was really huge to me,” she remarked. “Artists I’ve admired have been in that festival and I love the programming in it.” Having the opportunity to bring one of her plays close to home for her family to experience was also special. “It really felt like an exciting homecoming for me. I asked my grand-

mother to come and my high school drama teacher, so it was doubly significant for me,” Rochon said. Rochon also had the pleasure of acting alongside her father, Paul, during ‘2 Truths + 1 Lie=Proof,’ which she describes as a unique experience. Paul flew to Vancouver in 2006 in order to be in the production, where they played father and daughter in the show and performed excerpts from the wellknown play ‘Proof,’ by David Auburn. “When we performed the scene, the audience is listening to headphones and a recording of the two of us and we had to say three truths but one was a lie,” Rochon said. “The audience knew the lies we had told each other but we will never know. It could be a thing he might have told me since childhood that was a lie.” “It was an odd sort of piece... but it must have been interesting for people to watch the two of us perform since we look very similar,” she continued. “It was very moving for my dad to come all the way from Ontario to be in an experimental play with me.” That play held extra meaning as it was the piece that helped put The Chop on the map and secure its reputation. “People still refer back to it, so it’s given us a lot of exposure,”

Rochon stated. Last year, she was pleasantly surprised to find out she had been chosen by director Kim Collier (who Rochon looks up to, along with Karen Hines and Linda Griffiths) to receive the Siminovitch Protege Prize, after Collier had won the Elinore & Lou Siminovitch Prize in Theatre, which is known as Canada’s largest theatre award. Along with the honour, Collier earned $75,000 and as part of the honour, she selected a protege to receive $25,000. Rochon had assisted Collier in plays she’d created for Collier’s Electric Company Theatre and said they “ran in the same circles.” “It was a huge (honour) for her because a jury of the most incredible theatre artists in Canada decided she should win out of a pool of really amazing directors,” Rochon stated. “So for her, it’s huge. For me, it’s one person’s opinion versus a jury. But I am so lucky she chose me and likes my work.” This increased exposure continues to open doors for Rochon, who has travelled across Canada to perform and will be heading to Germany next year with another company to oversee a play she codirected. “I’m pretty happy I get to See ROCHON page K11

Return on Investment Let’s say I was your financial advisor. If you invest one dollar with me, I will guarantee in six months you will get back $ 200.00 If you let it ride another year I will guarantee a return of $40,000. If you let it ride one more year, I guarantee a return of $8,000,000. You would certainly have me investigated by the securities police. But I’m not talking dollars but the delightful sunflower. Plants have the remarkable ability to reproduce exponentially. We have customers at the nursery that look at the vast diversity of dahlias available and ask if they are annuals or perennials. Yes they are. If you leave them in the ground, they are annuals. If you dig the tubers, dry them out and store them in a cool dark place, they are perennials. Most people say it’s too much work. Let me tell you a story. From four dahlia tubers, I had over 300 in just three years. Have you ever seen 300 dahlias in one place. Incredible, and it cost me about 3 hours per year. Now lets turn to edibles. The next time you’re in the grocery store check out the packaged garlic. Chances are it says “ Product of China”. Why on earth are we buying garlic from China? We have the perfect growing conditions for garlic. Take a bulb, separate the cloves and pop them in the ground in the fall. By next fall you will have eight or ten beautiful bulbs to harvest. Just do the math. For every bulb a ten fold increase. And don’t get me started with squash. Do you buy squash, scoop out the seeds and put them in the compost bin and forget about them? With every squash there are hundreds of seeds that will put squash on the table for years. In a time when we don’t know where our food is coming from or how it was grown, it’s time to invest a few hours and take advantage of nature’s remarkable ability to provide abundance that would make a financial advisor blush. Trust me, this is the time to harvest seeds and plan for the bounty of next year. Victory Gardens may be a thing of the past but in this economic climate it may be just the time to plant a recession refuge.

tion, she felt she needed to do something “more useful with my life.” “I wasn’t sure how I could institute social change with theatre,” she admitted. So she became educated in international development and traveled the world with Canada World Youth, before she discovered she couldn’t ignore the call of theatre. “All roads seemed to lead back to theatre. It was painfully obvious that was my calling,” Rochon said. “I could run to the end of the Earth, but I’d be making a play at the end of the Earth.” Rather than fight it, Rochon applied to theatre school, attending Studio 58 (part of Langara College of Vancouver) theatre school’s three-year acting program, as well as the National Theatre School of Canada in Montreal. During her last year of theatre school, she began The Chop with Symington Fedy. “We went out and did the Canadian fringe circuit for three years and toured the country with a show we’d created,” she explained. “It was a comedy/ one-woman show that Emelia and I had written together.” “The birth of the theatre company started from that and we started to go after grants to be able to create bigger productions,” Rochon continued. “We began touring in a more professional festival circuit.” Through her involvement with The Chop, Rochon has helped create works such as Townsville, performed in Theatre Replacement’s ‘BIOBOXES,’ and has also directed ‘KISMET one to one hundred,’ of which she is really proud. The concept surrounds Rochon and her four co-creators traveling across Canada to interview residents aged one to 100 to find out their views on fate and destiny.

Kayaking For Cancer continues to paddle and fight disease Staff Writer

EMC News – When participants of Kayaking For Cancer are asked why they take part in the eight-day trek down the Rideau Canal this year they can point to a touching moment sitting at a lock station in the Big Rideau. “It was a human moment,” said Kevin Dionne, event organizer. The team of approximately 30 kayakers was sitting in a lock station alongside a boat when the woman on board came out to ask about their cause. When she learned they were raising funds for cancer research, “She came out and she took her scarf off and she had no hair,” added Maureen Corrick, a first-time Kayak for Cancer participant. “She was crying and thanking us.” Dionne said sending the message that they care and are thinking of individuals who have been or are affected by cancer is the primary goal of Kayaking For Cancer. Each participant has raised at least $500 in order to participate in this event. Coupled with some special fundraising events, the 2011 journey expects to raise $35,000. George Tsarouhas of Smiths Falls’ Country Diner has raised at least $10, 000

tor for the KYMTC summer camps since their inception in 2004, and has been involved with KYMTC for a number of years. In addition to being an experienced actress, she has also had 12 years of voice and musical theatre training through Theatre Ontario at Brock University. Konopka, the musical director of the summer camps for the past three seasons, has also been involved in the theatre company for a number of years and is a member of successful band, Fire and Neon. “We do a different show each year,” Lacelle explained.

for the cause every year by hosting a hockey and golf tournament. He has gotten into the kayak every year for eight years in memory of his father, Bill who lost his battle to cancer some years ago. “What we do is nothing; they go through so much more,” Tsarouhas said. The opportunity to get out on the water and celebrate the memory of his father in this way is very healing for Tsarouhas who brought his fouryear old in the kayak with him from the combined locks in Smiths Falls to Old Slys. Bernie Curran of Chesterville can appreciate Tsarouhas’ enjoyment of the calm waters in the Rideau Canal. He often takes the time from Jones Falls to Smiths Falls to think of those he loved and lost to cancer. “I think of my wife and step-daughter. She was only 35,” Curran said, who has participated the last three years. At the age of 70 plus years the veteran kayaker is the oldest participant Kayaking For Cancer has ever welcomed. He encourages everyone to get involved in anyway they can be it by making a donation online (www.kayakingforcancer.com), volunteering your time or simply cheering them on as they navigate

past. “Hopefully I can come back again,” Curran said. The feeling of being among family has brought many participants back year after year, including Andrew Galbraith who has kayaked the last seven years. When asked why he sets aside the week each year he replied: “I’m out here because I can. It makes me feel like I’m doing something and making a difference.” Galbraith of Barrhaven has been cancer-free for six-anda-half years and understands the challenges that come with treatment and recovery. He’s proud to kayak and show those who are undergoing treatment today that he is there to support them. The 11th annual Kayaking For Cancer route takes them from Kingston to Ottawa through the canal and portage. So far this trip the group has paddled through high humidity and some periods of rain, but Dionne shrugs that off. “We always say a little bit of rain is better than a chemo treatment,” Dionne said. This year’s fundraiser took place Aug. 6-13 with a lunch stop in Smiths Falls Aug. 10. The group traveled from Merrickville locks to the event sponsor – Pirate Cove Marina in Kemptville on Aug. 11.

Past shows include ‘Beauty and the Beast’ in 2010 and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ in 2009. The KYMTC summer camp production of ‘Char-

lotte’s Web’ kicks off tomorrow evening with a show at 7 p.m. and a matinee performance on Sunday at 2 p.m. For more information, visit www.kymtc.org.

Work on the first stage of the Mountain Lions Club’s Hill 70 Memorial Restoration Project has finished, above. The revamped site at Mountain Memorial Community Park includes new storyboards, an interlocking brick platform on top of the original hill, as well as an access ramp and lighting for the main monument.

Most of the work should be finished by the end of August. The project has been a large undertaking by the Mountain Lions Club but donations from area Lions clubs, branches of the Royal Canadian Legion in Dundas County and the local community totaling $32,000 have been collected to date. The club is also expecting a posi-

tive response to their request for funds from the Community War Memorial Program at Veterans Affairs Canada. A formal announcement has not yet been made. A rededication ceremony is planned at the Mountain Memorial Community Park on Sunday, Sept. 18 at 2 p.m. Participating in the ceremony will be local and national dignitaries, Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, Governor General’s Foot Guard, the Seaway Valley Singers, students and clergy.

EMC News – The first stage of the Hill 70 Memorial Restoration Project is now complete. The historic monument, located at Mountain Memorial Community Park, was created in 1922 to honour soldiers who fought in the Battle of Hill 70 in France during the World War I. Approximately 9,000 Canadian soldiers lost their lives during the battle, with many coming from the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. The restoration of the site is a project being undertaken by the Mountain and District Lions Club, who wanted to give the monument a muchneeded facelift. Work began at the site earlier this year. Thus far, Lyman Holmes and his crew have installed an interlocking brick platform resting on top of the original hill, a base for the flagpole, an access ramp and lighting for the main monument. Eastern Ontario Cemetery Memorials is creating two black granite storyboards with text in English and French as well. The larger of the two describes the battle itself and was reviewed for historical accuracy by the Directorate of History and Heritage at the Department of National Defence. The second focuses on the founding of the Mountain Memorial Community Park and was adapted from the Tweedsmuir History of Mountain by Eva Simms. Two stones from the original site will be placed on either side of a new black granite monument dedicated to the Battle of Hill 70. The captured German machine gun (which was the centerpiece of the original monument) will also be returned to its position

Home sales rise in July throughout Rideau-St. Lawrence area

Monthly residential MLS statistics • Board total: 116 unit sales in July 2011 over 94 unit sales in July 2010, reflecting a 23 per cent increase. • Dundas: Eight unit sales in July 2011 compared to 16 unit sales in July 2010, reflecting a 50 per cent decrease. • Grenville: 15 unit sales in July 2011 over 10 in July 2010,

On track to provide better health for all Ontarians EMC News - More than 7,000 doctors, who care for 6.5 million Ontarians, now manage their patients’ health information with an electronic medical record. That is just some of the significant progress that’s outlined in the 2011 eHealth Progress Report. “Electronic medical records are just one of the many eHealth initiatives moving forward and improving care to patients. More doctors are using electronic medical records and that means more time spent on direct patient care, better health outcomes and increased safety for patients,” stated Deb Matthews, Minister of Health and Long-Term Care. Ontario has more doctors using electronic medical records than any other province in Canada. Ontario is committed to electronic health because it saves lives and money, and improves care. Achievements include: • 24/7 remote access to neurologists which has prevented the transfer of 2,400 trauma patients and saved over $50 million. • For the first time, all hospitals are able to take diagnostic images such as x-rays and MRIs digitally and store them in a central location that can be accessed electronically. • Doctors and nurses in every ER have access to information about the drugs used by seniors - helping to avoid adverse drug reactions. Increasingly, electronic health records will help us drive down wait times, reduce duplication and unnecessary tests, and put a stop to avoidable prescription drug errors. All Ontarians will have an electronic health record by 2015 and patients will own their electronic health records -- allowing them to take better control of their health.

reflecting a 50 per cent increase. • Lanark: 35 unit sales in July 2011 over 24 in July 2010, reflecting a 46 per cent increase. • Leeds: 55 unit sales in July 2011 over 42 in July 2010, reflecting a 31 per cent increase. Board total sales include some transactions in neighbouring communities outside of Dundas, Grenville, Lanark and Leeds Counties. The communities in Dundas County that are served by the Rideau-St. Lawrence Real Estate Board and are covered by this report are Mountain, Iroquois, Matilda, Morrisburg and Williamsburg. Due to the small number of reported sales for this area, there can be large fluctuations in monthly and annual comparisons. The communities in Grenville County that are served by the Rideau-St. Lawrence Real Estate Board and are covered by this report are Augusta, Cardinal, Edwardsburgh, Oxford, South Gower, Prescott, Merrickville and Wolford.

Honorable and true in all of your ways Loving and faithful til the end of your days. Honest and liberal, ever upright Just in your judgment and doing what’s right. Loved by your friends and all whom you knew One in a million, that man was you. Four years have passed, our hearts still are sore, As time rolls on, we miss you more. A loving man, tender and kind What beautiful memories you left behind. May the winds of love blow softly, And whisper so you’ll hear We will always love and miss you And wish that you were still here. Forever loved and always in our hearts Joyce, Dan and Bryan PATTERSON - In loving memory of a very special brother, Donnie, who passed away August 15, 2008. God called your name so quietly, That only you could hear, And no one heard the footsteps, Of angels drawing near. It broke my heart to lose you, But you did not go alone, For part of me went with you, The day God called you home. Sadly missed, sister, Barb

O’Connor Brian Thomas Brian T. O’Connor 17 September 1994 15 August 2011 Today, a Heavy Weight Champion Prize Fighter has decided to hang up his gloves with pride and strength. Brian passed away peacefully at Roger’s House with his parents and brothers by his side. After a life of struggle and chronic pain which Brian always faced bravely he chose to end the fight and seek peace. Brian enjoyed swimming, horseback riding, bird watching, shopping, arts and crafts, watching movies, walks, trains, and big machines, he was a big fan of the Deadliest Catch, and loved watching his Senators play hockey. While at Roger’s House he enjoyed several visits from Mike Fisher and other team mates, and enjoyed listening to stories by Farley Mowatt. Brian loved his cats who kept a watch over him during his many illnesses. Brian attended both St. John Catholic Elementary and St. John High School, where he had many friends with whom he loved spending time. Brian’s family are grateful for the unconditional love, attention, and care he received from Roger’s House, where he was often pampered with spa days, from his Roger’s House Family. The support of family and many friends during his final days brought great comfort to Brian, and for this we are so touched. Brian will be forever missed by his Dad and Lind’r, Mom, his brothers Daniel and Mark, and Aunts, Uncles and cousins and by his many other families, Roger’s House, Lanark Community Programs, Bayshore Home Health, and the St. John family. In lieu of flowers donations to Roger’s House in Brian’s memory would be greatly appreciated. Brian’s funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, Perth 613-2673082. Brian left an undeniable mark in his almost 17 brief years with us on this earth.

JOHN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31ST, 2011 FROM THE HOURS OF 12:00 NOON UNTIL 2:00 P.M. THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR BRIAN WILL BE HELD AT 2:00 P.M.

LOWRY, Eleanor 5 years ago You left us but we know it was Not by choice but by God’s Will We’ve been left with memories that will only fill A part of us that’s left behind Like dust in the wind and soon to find That although we have faith, the day has come That this dream is real and we’re no longer numb The presence of what we know in our hearts Will keep us together, never to part Your smile has graced us to no end A time for all of us to begin Laughing, loving, caring for each We no longer search, it’s within our reach You have blessed us all with something we lack We will learn from you and always look back God’s Will has left us with a part of you That will grace each day with a morning dew To wake up to butterflies fluttering about And the knowledge that we are not without Your smile, your laughter, your love, your appeal This, my dear, must be God’s Will. Missing you greatly your Mom, Brother, Sisters, Daughter and Pat.

EMC Lifestyle - Last week my wife and I went from the frying pan into the fire, so to speak. We visited Franklin, Tennessee near Nashville from Aug. 14-21. Kathleen was the trip chaperone – literally. We accompanied students from Carleton Place who was participating in an annual student exchange program. It was a major success! As the current chair of the local organizing committee I also held discussions with members of the Franklin committee and with the city’s administrative staff. So there was a useful purpose for me on this excursion as well. Carleton Place and Franklin have been sister communities since January 2005. We’ve been to Franklin, an historic city of 63,000 in Middle Tennessee, in the past but never during the summer months. Speaking of history, the month of August is historically the hottest 31-day period of the year in that part of the American south. So, while it has been very hot and humid in Eastern Ontario

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

this summer it is safe to say we didn’t experience anything like the weather we encountered in the southeastern United States last week. It was over 90 degrees Fahrenheit every day and you could cut the humidity with a machete. Standing outside Ottawa international airport Sunday night in 16C (60.8F) weather felt really good! Before we left I called my opposite number in Tennessee, Doug Sharp, to discuss details of our visit. When I asked him how the weather was Doug first answered, not in words, but with a very hearty laugh. “It’s probably a lot more hot and humid than what you’re used to,” he added emphatically. “It’s a little better today than yesterday. But it is still really sticky!” In August the daily AUCTION SALE average temperature in Thursday, September 1, 5 p.m. Franklin is 89.6F (32C) Almonte Civitan Hall with high humidity the Coca Cola collectibles, coolers, Barbie rule, not the exception. dolls, wall lamp, ceiling fan, many more I don’t intend to small Coke collectibles, furniture, antiques, discuss the “global collectibles. warming” issue in 364680_0825 Auctioneer: Frank Burns 613-267-4129 this column.

THE EMC - 68 - Thursday, August 25, 2011

natives of Chatham, Ontario a city in Ontario’s “Banana Belt.” In southwestern Ontario, especially the area from London to Windsor, heat and humidity are the norm virtually every summer. The hot and sticky conditions arrive in May and it often doesn’t ease until late September. I think it is fair to say natives of Eastern Ontario have never experienced the consistently uncomfortable conditions present in Ontario’s “great southwest” as a Chatham radio station once called the region. Except for a few days each year, there is a distinct dividing line. My late grandfather Art Watson and later my uncle Gregory (we call him Jan) operated a service station maintenance company based in Chatham for years. I often worked for my uncle during the summer months. If you want to experience hot, try being a laborer during a southwestern Ontario summer. For some “strange” reason, digging trenches for electrical cables in July and August stands out in my mind. On the family farm near Stittsville I helped with the haying every year and believe me that is hot work. But it doesn’t come close to the experience of shoveling a trench on a particularly scorching afternoon near Bothwell. I think we emptied the pop machine in the service station office that afternoon, along with guzzling several litres of water. Early in my newspaper career I was a reporter-photographer at the daily St. Thomas Times-Journal. St. Thomas is just south of London and not far north of Lake Erie. The heat and humidity settle over Elgin County like warm, wet blanket at this time of year. The sun beats down ceaselessly! Working in the office was great because it was so well air conditioned. On the other hand anyone who has experienced those kinds of conditions for weeks and months on end will tell you air conditioning is merely a band-aid. Eventually you have to venture outside and when you do the experience is even more unbearable when you have just emerged from an air conditioned building or motor vehicle. I can remember walking out through the two sets of doors at the front of the newspaper. When you stepped out that second door the humidity hit you like you’d been slapped with a wet dishrag. It was truly unbelievable! I’ve never quite replicated that experience since we moved to Carleton Place 35 years ago. Certainly air conditioning is the only solution if you intend to get a decent night’s sleep in southwestern Ontario at this time of the year. On the other hand it wasn’t until the 1980s that central air became prevalent in that region. At one time AC (especially central air) was simply too expensive for most people’s budgets. Fans and if you were lucky room air condi-

tioners offered the only relief. “When I was growing up in Chatham we had no air conditioning, only fans,” my wife recalls. “But you got used to it.” I have to say I never did. I don’t do well in the extreme heat. And I detested the summer conditions I experienced in Chatham, St. Thomas and across the southwest. When we were first married Kathy and I lived in a small apartment in a sprawling old house on Forest Avenue in St. Thomas. The name “Forest” offers a clue in this case. The street was heavily treed. Thank goodness for those old trees. Because in the summer the shade they provided offered the only relief we really got in that stuffy old place. We put a big fan in the bedroom window at night. But normally all it did was suck in more heat and humidity. To this day when we visit St. Thomas we always drive past that place and wonder how we survived the experience of living there during the summer? It was wretched. But hey, it was all we could afford! Driving in that part of the country in those days was another unforgettable (try unbearable) experience! We didn’t have AC in the car either (yes, too pricey) and rolling down the window is a poor substitute, especially when bugs rule during the summer months. There is nothing quite like having bees, large beetles, flies and other insects dive bombing you while you’re driving. Not easy to have a conversation either when the wind is blasting into your vehicle along the highway. In the summer down there it was like being inside a rolling blast furnace! I have a lot of pleasant memories from those days of course. The heat and the humidity of summers in Kent and Elgin counties aren’t among them. One of Kathy’s colleagues, Karen Laforet, is a native of Windsor. So they’ve had a great time during our long, hot summer comparing notes on life in that part of the world while they were growing up. Karen agrees people from Eastern Ontario have no idea what heat and humidity is really like! No more so than our knowledge of what it is like in the more tropical parts of the world including southern regions of the neighbouring USA. Try visiting Florida, Louisiana or Texas this time of the year for example. One night recently the game time temperature at a Texas Rangers’ Major League baseball game in Arlington was 105F (40.5C). And the humidity made it even more stifling. Needless to say Rangers don’t play daytime home games during the summer! The same situation is true of Franklin. So although we enjoyed our busy itinerary in Tennessee, the temperatures and especially the humidity were overwhelming at times. Thankfully everyone down there has AC. They have to in order to survive in July and August. So we had no problem sleeping at night.

EMC Entertainment – Though the weather didn’t fully cooperate, hundreds came out to mark the end of summer at the 119th edition of the South Mountain Fair Aug. 18 to 21 at the South Mountain Fairgrounds. Above, Clayton Allen, Shaina Vandemheem and Bryson Allen cool off with some ice cream treats on Aug. 20. Right, Dr. Kaboom made his way around the fair-

grounds, delighting young and old. Below, left, participants line up to show their well groomed ponies during the pony show. A new addition to the fair this year was a parade on Saturday. Bottom, Jane and Dale Boyd drive through the fairgrounds in a 1930 AA Model A Ford owned by Raymond Eager. Many turned out to participate in the parade.

Approximately 50 hopefuls were put through a series of drills during the Kemptville 73’s annual training camp held Aug. 19 to 21 at the municipal centre.

73’S which began last Sunday (Aug. 21) with a game against the champion Pembroke Lumber Kings. TSN was also in attendance to film the game as part of the Kraft Hockeyville contest. Other games will see Kemptville travel to play the Gloucester Rangers Aug. 27 and another game Aug. 28 in Smiths Falls versus the Bears. Three home games round out the exhibition series with Pembroke, Gloucester and Smiths Falls visiting the 73’s at home in the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Right up until the season opens with the CJHL Showcase Sept. 9 and 10 in Kanata, cuts will be made to whittle the team down to the 23 most competitive and talented players they can find. “We want to give Kemptville a reason to come to the rink,” Malloy concluded.
