EMC News – Long grass, weeds, and piles of brush or garbage aren’t emergency situations, but they can serve as a daily reminder to neighbours that someone isn’t maintaining his property. In approaching Perth town councillors to ask if they would support the drafting of a new bylaw to deal with complaints about yard maintenance, director of protective services Jim Connell said, “We want to make it clear that as a community we expect maintenance, and what level of maintenance we expect.” At a meeting of Committee of the Whole Oct. 4,

councillors voted to approve the drafting of a yard bylaw. “Every time we pass a bylaw we take away someone else’s rights and freedoms,” commented Councillor Jim Boldt, but added that he personally has mowed grass on the municipal road allowance in front of other people’s properties on his street because they refused to do it themselves. In his report to the committee, Connell said “the matter of who is responsible for maintaining the municipal road allowance from the paved portion to the property line has occasionally come to staff’s attention.” Some property owners decided not to maintain property all

the way to the curb or pavement edge, said Connell. Others have planted bushes or shrubs that encroached on sidewalks or cut down visibility along a roadway. “While some cases are resolved at the time, the matter often re-occurs year after year,” reported Connell. Connell suggested that in the case of issues affecting the road allowance adjacent to private property, the owners be given seven to 14 days to comply with town directives. Following council approval this month, town staff will research and draft a yard maintenance bylaw for council’s consideration in early 2012.

EMC News – As the Perth and District Community Foundation celebrates its 10th anniversary, board members can also celebrate a very busy and successful year, now drawing to a close. Thanks to the strong support of donors and community partners, the foundation distributed more than $22,000 in grants and scholarships in 2011. The foundation is now accepting applications for 2012 grants. Applications can be submitted either manually or online, said Foundation coordinator Elaine Turner. Board members and volunteers are now gearing up for the foundation’s second major fundraiser of the year, the Christmas Gala set for Friday, Nov. 25 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Turner noted the gala will be held in a new venue with a new caterer this year. The event will be held in the student common of the new Perth campus of Algonquin College, which can accommodate 250 guests, said Turner, noting that the gala attracted 200 people last year. The gala will be catered by the Stone Cellar. The main sponsors for the event are Allan Chartered Accountants and McIntosh Perry Engineering. Turner noted that Barb McGinnis, the president of the Ottawa Community Foundation, will be attending the

EMC News – A Canadian veteran of the American Civil War who was buried in an unmarked grave for the past 87 years is getting some overdue recognition this week. On Tuesday, a grave marker paid for by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs was installed in the Hopetown Cemetery, near Lanark, at the final resting place of Evander William Francis McRae, who died Nov. 29, 1924. Following an application process initiated about a year ago by great granddaughter Linda Middleton, the grave marker was unveiled Tuesday, Oct. 18. McRae, a native of New Brunswick, enlisted in the Eighth New York Cavalry in 1863, and served until he was honourably discharged at the end of the war in 1865. He lived in the Lanark area for the rest of his life. For the full story, see next week’s EMC.

Christmas gala. The Ottawa Community Foundation, said Turner, helped guide the founders of the Perth and District Community Foundation. Four of the founders, Bryce Bell, Howard Allan, Greg Anderson, and Gavin Marshall, will be honoured in a short video to be shown at the gala. The video is entitled “Beginnings.” The foundation’s other major annual fundraiser is a golf tournament, with the Ellard family and Perth Home Hardware being the major sponsors. Turner said all the foundation’s operations are funded from these fundraising events, and that all donations received throughout the year are therefore able to go to endowment funds in support of community initiatives. In fact, Turner added, in the last two years the golf tournament and gala have raised more than required to meet administrative expenses, and the surplus funds have been added to the pool available for grants. Student scholarships The foundation’s 10th anniversary is also the occasion for the launch of some new student scholarships. Thanks to a bequest from the late Kenneth Gray, the foundation has established $5,000 worth of student scholarships to start in 2012: two at Perth

Dayle’s Quest for Hope – Oct. 22 benefit dance for herself. Dayle’s MS is called Secondary Progressive and does not respond to medication. A pair of upcoming fundraising events aim to raise money to fund a very costly treatment not available in Canada called the Liberation Treatment (CCSVI). This past July the federal government announced it will fund clinical trials into this MS treatment, but this will take time. Baich does not

have time, her MS is progressing at an alarming rate, and therefore she is opting to have the procedure done outside of Canada. CCSVI was developed by Italian physician Dr. Paolo Zamboni. Although his theory (that narrowed neck veins that reduce the blood flow and allow iron deposits to build up in the brain are behind MS symptoms) has not yet been proven, Baich believes this treatment

EMC News – Lanark County Warden Sharon Mousseau plans to seek a second consecutive term as warden. The Beckwith Township deputy-reeve, who was sworn in for a one-year term as county warden on Dec. 17, 2011, told the EMC she feels it would be good for the county to have continuity of leadership over the next year, because longtime Chief Administrative Officer Peter Wagland will be retiring. Other county municipal politicians have served more than one term as warden, but it is unprecedented for a warden to serve two consecutive terms, Mousseau noted. Mousseau has been a township councillor since 2000 and a county councillor for eight years. She said she expects to face com-

petition for the position of warden in 2012, as other members of county council will be putting their names forward. Previous wardens who have served more than one

Country Harvest show in Carleton Place Sunday By JEFF MAGUIRE

EMC Events - The third annual ‘Country Harvest Music Show’ is scheduled for Carleton Place Sunday night and once again the event will raise funds to assist ongoing restoration work in the historic Town Hall Auditorium. “It will be a classic night of country music with some really familiar faces onstage,” promises Bob White who has organized the production from its inception in the fall of 2009. Charlie Kitts of Almonte, a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, will emcee the event at Carleton Place and District Community Centre. The entertainment is under the direction of Andy Bowes, a member of the popular Carleton Place band the Bowes Brothers. He is also among the four featured entertainers. This year he will be joined by his brother John who will appear as a solo act. Headlining the production is long-time Ottawa Valley singer/musician Neville Wells. Well-known Carleton Place entertainer Dave Brown will also perform. The doors to the upper hall of the Carleton Place and District Community Centre on Neelin Street will open at 5:30 p.m. The music starts promptly at 7 o’clock. The ticket price remains the same at $15 apiece. Andy Bowes, who puts together the line-up, is certain to please the country music fans on hand. Besides his musical prowess he is also one of the best

yodelers in the region. The House Band will be comprised of some outstanding talent from around the region. Bowes himself will play bass and he will be joined by Brad Scott on lead guitar, fiddler Wade Foster, Ray Donaldson on steel guitar, drummer Steve Hiscox and popular Carleton Place musician and entertainer Jack Denovan on keyboards. White, a long-time Carleton Place Recreation and Culture Department employee, is well known for operating and promoting benefit dances. In recent years his shows have focused on assisting the auditorium restoration program which is ongoing. A local committee, including Carleton Place councillors, is working to raise money for the restoration and upgrading of the historic upstairs hall in the Town Hall building (circa 1897). Although the facility is a local landmark it was (and is) in need of major improvements. Work has been ongoing to bring the auditorium up to a higher standard in an effort to make it a more usable venue. Every dollar raised in the community is matched by the Town of Carleton Place. Over the course of four years the auditorium floor has been upgraded, a new stage has been installed, air conditioning added, a new stage curtain put in place, draperies changed and a number of other smaller upgrades undertaken. In addition new chairs were purchased for the facility

which currently seats 240 people. Among future plans are improvements to the balcony which is currently closed to the public due to safety concerns. When the necessary work is complete the seating capacity for stage performances and other events will be expanded considerably. Also planned is much needed work in the backstage area including expanded dressing rooms

and larger and improved public washroom facilities. It is also hoped storage can be added to assist tenants, including the Mississippi Mudds theatre troupe which calls the auditorium home. White says Sunday night’s fundraiser is “not a dance – it’s a concert.” Up to 400 people can be seated in a “theatre-style setting.” The show will run from 7-10 p.m. with an intermission of approximately 20

minutes. White says the bar will operate before the show and during intermission but will not be open during the performances. There will also be tea and coffee available at intermission. Because it is a night-time function food will not be sold. White suggests concert-goers plan on having dinner first and then coming to the show. Tickets are general admission and not reserved

but White adds, “There isn’t a bad seat in the house.” Tickets are available at the arena office as well as Graham’s Shoes, 139 Bridge St., Carleton Place; Nicholson’s Sundries on Graham St. in Pakenham and at Mark’s Cobbler Shop, 98 Gore St. E., Perth. Anyone wishing further information is invited to telephone Bob White at 613-253-5046.

EMC Events – The 2011 CP Holiday Train schedule is now online as volunteers prepare for the 13th year of ‘train of lights.’ North America’s longestrunning rolling food bank fundraiser begins its unique trek across Canada and the U.S. Midwest and Northeast the last weekend of November in its cross-border mission to feed communities. For the 13th year, two specially decorated freight trains will launch their unique journeys across six Canadian provinces, including Ontario, and eight U.S. states. The Canadian train will begin its cross-country trek on Sunday, Nov. 27 in Merrickville at 6:45 p.m. at 103 East Broad-

way and County Road 2, at the south side of the railway crossing near Bay St. The train will then make its way to Smiths Falls later that evening for a stop at 8 p.m. at the Smiths Falls train station (63 Victoria St.). It will make its last stop in Perth at 9:40 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 28 at the Wilson St. railway crossing (on the south side). About 150 cities and towns on both sides of the border will be able to join the Holiday Train spirit and magic, with

all food and money raised at each stop staying in that community for local distribution. Since 1999, the CP Holiday Train program, powered by an army of employee volunteers, has raised $5.6 million and generated close to 2.5 million pounds of food donations for local food shelves. Each Holiday Train has 14 rail cars decorated with hundreds of thousands of festive lights. Included is a modified boxcar that has been turned into a travelling stage for performers.

CP Holiday Train dates announced for Perth, Merrickville and Smiths Falls Headlining the musical spirit of the season from a specially designed stage on the Canadian Holiday Train is Canadian legend Valdy, who had a major hit in the 1970s with ‘Rock and Roll Song.’ The 2011 CP Holiday Train schedule is now available on www.cpr.ca – a website that more than 150,000 visitors check out each holiday season to get the latest updates and the train stop nearest them.

It’s all in good fun, right? Maybe not. What is posted online in jest could end up costing someone their next apartment, or even their job. Today’s Internet user is a global publisher, spreading the latest gossip about their friends, relatives, and even customers, to unexpected audiences eager to learn more. Most social media users have no appreciation of the legal rights of other online users. And if you post something damaging about someone else, or if it happens to you, it may be impos-

sible to redeem your online reputation. Yes, there is a growing industry of businesses who claim to be able to fix your online reputation, but our research has found that these services may be prohibitively expensive for many or ineffective, so great care must be taken in choosing one. See our report at http://www.consumerscouncil.com/ormreport. We should all be much more careful about what we share about others online, and be aware of what others are posting about us. The Internet never really forgets. Don Mercer President, Consumers Council of Canada

EMC Editorial – With a new cabinet set to be sworn in today (Oct. 20), it will be curious to see how the McGuinty government, in a minority for the first time since being first elected back in 2003, deals with its new status. While the Liberals remained strong in the larger urban centres like Ottawa and Toronto, the rural communities, particularly here in the Ottawa and Seaway Valley, cut a wide swath of Tory blue. Until now, that hasn’t much mattered to the Liberals, who were seemingly given free rein to introduce such controversial measures as the Harmonized Sales Tax, eco tax and Green Energy Act that have hit Ontarians hard in the pocketbook. But with MPPs like Steve Clark in Leeds-Grenville, Randy Hillier in Lanark Frontenac Lennox & Addington and Jack MacLaren in Carleton-Mississippi Mills who received strong mandates on Oct. 6, life could become a lot nastier at Queen’s Park as they hammer away at any future attempts to boost taxes and perceived government waste, among other key issues. While the NDP failed to make many inroads in eastern Ontario, leader Andrea Horwath and her party did increase their seat count by seven in the Ontario Legislature and could well hold the balance of power in the months and years ahead. At the very least, it will take a delicate balancing act on the part of the Liberals to appease the tax-cutting Tories with the job-focused New Democrats if we are to avoid returning to the polls again in the near future. Then again, one wonders if that many Ontarians really care what happens in this province? Perhaps part of the parties’ focus could simply be on re-establishing interest in our democracy at the provincial level. The fact a scant 49.2 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot earlier this month should be an embarrassment to Ontario and an insult to those who have fought in wars around the world to preserve our cherished way of life. Some may role their eyes at the argument, but our freedom was not won easily. Tens of thousands of Canadians have given their lives so that we could continue to have a say in how we are governed. Liberals and Conservatives spent much of their campaign attacking one another and/or defending their record – strategies that seemed to turn off more voters than they attracted. Perhaps some of that money could be better spent on an advertising campaign to promote the importance of casting a ballot and all that’s gone in to earning that right.

Newspapers offered more than just a reading experience EMC Lifestyle - The Ottawa Farm Journal had much to offer a rural farm home in the 30’s. Father always got first look at it, and then Mother had her turn. And finally, we children got to look at the children’s page. This was full of puzzles and pictures to colour, and little verses...and the wonderful column for pen pals which I joined at an early age with great success. But as well as this children’s page, which was a special delight to all of us, I poured over the Ottawa Farm Journal after everyone was finished with it for still another reason. I looked over every page for those little boxes at the end of the ads. Because these little boxes invited you to send away for free samples of everything from horse liniment

to laxatives. I remember when I first discovered the little boxes. I was just learning to print at the Northcote school. And so I printed my name and address as neatly as I could on the lines, put it into an envelope and Mother sent it off with a three cent stamp. Well, certainly, the companies were a lot more compassionate than they are today. Because I got a typewritten letter back...addressed to me, saying that from the writing

on the form it was obvious I was too young to use whatever it was being offered as a free sample, and they regretted not being able to fill my request. Well, from there on in, I had my sister Audrey fill out the forms. After all she was in senior fourth and wrote with a lovely smooth hand. The samples came in every shape and size. Baby powder came in little flat tins...round and smooth. Dodd’s kidney pills came in a blue cardboard box...I fed them to the chickens and was surprised that they seemed to be no better or no worse for the treatment. I liked the tin samples better than the cardboard ones. And it wasn’t long until I had most of my washstand drawer filled with little boxes of every description. And then there were

the wonderful little samples of Ivory soap. Mother made lye soap for our own use, and when my small sample arrived in the mail, my three brothers and sister thought I should share it with them. I told them to get their own samples, and then Audrey reminded me she had written the request form out of the Ottawa Farm Journal, so the soap was really half hers. Fearing that she might make me go back to my printing, I agreed to let her use the soap...but only on Saturday nights. But I think the most exciting thing I ever got through the newspaper simply for sending in my name and address was the very first can of tooth powder we ever had on our farm in Renfrew county. We brushed our teeth morning

and night, but we used baking soda or salt on our brushes. I no longer remember the brand. But I do remember the can. It was green. Bright green and when you turned the top it opened up a little hole and you poured the tooth powder on your brush. It tasted just like the penny peppermints I sometimes got at Briscoe’s General Store. It was a very small can...probably no more than two inches tall, and so frightened was I that my brothers or sister would use it all up before I had a chance to do so, I hid it under my pillow every night when I went to bed. I think now getting the free samples was only part of the joy. I think the real thrill was getting those little envelopes or parcels through the

mail with my name on them. It didn’t take me long to discover that the little ads were not only in the Ottawa Farm Journal, but they were in the Family Herald and Weekly Star, and the Philadelphia Inquirer as well. And so I started to cut out everything that offered a free sample. And was ready to send off for anything that was free. But finally Mother had to intervene. The week she had to send off four requests, she finally put an end to my reckless mailing. After all, that week it had cost her 12 cents in stamps! And that was just too much of an extravagance...and once again I heard that statement that became such a part of my life in the 30’s, “Didn’t I know there was a Depression on?”

In Remembrance … REAL Deal offers special auction in remembrance of fallen Thomson. This special auction is just one of a number of special sales events The REAL Deal has held or is planning to hold. The Second Chance Art Bazaar in the summer was a smashing success and will be repeated. “We had a lot of fun showing off our eclectic mix of wall art and we learned a few things about some of the pieces that we had,” said Thomson. “In one instance we had a

framed print of a collage of dolls that turned out to be somewhat collectible.” Thomson is thrilled with the growth and excitement around The Real Deal. “We do our very best to accept as much as capacity allows. It keeps our selection of quality used goods and renovation materials fresh and interesting.” Watch soon for when The REAL Deal again becomes Christmas central. “Everybody knows we already have the big-

project during the contest, the greater the likelihood it will receive funding from Aviva Insurance – the company sponsoring the contest. The fund was created by the firm to support projects that create positive change in Canadian communities. An RDHS com-

munity committee has applied for up to $150,000 in funding through the “neighbourhood” category in the contest. The community committee raising funds for the project is interested in the contest both as a fundraiser and to enhance the profile of the project in

surrounding communities. “It’s a two-pronged approach,” Halladay said. “It raises funds but is also a way we can make people in other communities aware of the project. We want everyone we know to e-mail their sister, mother and brother about this

and to get them to vote.” Halladay says the school has sent an e-mail to all students about the contest. They have also sent details to alumni who were part of the 50th anniversary celebration last year. Students are doing their

part by spreading news of the contest through Facebook and by tweeting the Web address to friends and family. To cast your vote, paste www.avivacommunityfund. org/ideas/acf11600 into your Web browser, register and then vote.

EMC News – Now that the provincial election is over, staff members at Rideau District High School (RDHS) want your vote for something really important – funding for the school’s proposed multipurpose recreation centre. The school is participating in an on-line fundraising contest run through the Aviva Community Fund hoping to raise money for the $6 million addition to the school, said Principal Sharon Halladay. The community facility would include a new regulation double gymnasium accompanied by a weight room, exercise area and a fully accessible community meeting room. This proposal would also see the revitalization of the existing gymnasium into a community theatre which would provide seating for 500 people at both musical and theatre-based performances. Halladay says the facility is needed because the current gym is too small for major indoor tournaments such as OFSAA basketball and volleyball, forcing the school to host events in Kingston instead. There are no existing meeting or arts facilities in the area either. “We want to be able to showcase our athletic talent at home,” said Halladay of the need for the centre. “We don’t have a facility like this in our area. There is such a need right now. Our school is used every day from 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.” The more votes cast for a

Homemade cookies are still the best EMC Lifestyle - No matter what kind of cookies the large biscuit manufacturers come out with, they still have a hard time competing with homemade cookies. Whether they’re chocolate chip, peanut butter, oldfashioned sugar or coconut, the cookies you make in your own kitchen always disappear faster than any store-bought variety. If you’re short on time, drop cookies are quick and easy to make. Just mix the batter, then drop them on a baking

sheet, and pop them in the oven to bake. You don’t have to shape, roll or cut out the dough. Night before What I sometimes do is prepare the cookie dough one night, then refrigerate it until I have time to bake cookies a day or two later. As long as I take the dough out of the fridge about 30 minutes before I make the cookies, this doesn’t seem to affect the results. If you’re a lover of coconut, give these coconut

drop cookies a try. Coconut Drop Cookies 1/3 cup margarine (use the block margarine, not the tub variety) 1/3 cup shortening 2/3 cup brown sugar 2 eggs

e v a S

1/4 cup milk 1 tsp. vanilla 2 cups flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups flaked or grated coconut

In a large mixing bowl, cream the margarine, shortening and sugar. Add the eggs, milk and vanilla, and stir until thoroughly combined. Add the remaining ingredients, and mix until there are no dry areas in the batter. If the dough looks a bit crumbly or dry, add 1 more tablespoon of milk. To make clean-up easier, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, then lightly grease the foil. Using a teaspoon, for each cookie, drop a spoon-

ful of dough on to the aluminum foil. Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges. When they are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven, and set it on a cake rack. Let the cookies cool before removing them from the pan. Makes 3-4 dozen.

NEWS

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

EMC News - The tentative agreement between Ontario’s Community Care Access Centres (CCACS) and the Ontario Nurses Association (ONA) has been ratified by the 10 CCACs affected, including the South East CCAC, resulting in new three year agreements. ONA represents 3,000 CCAC employees who are employed as case managers, nurse practitioners, therapists and other workers, in 10 of the province’s 14 CCACS. Under the new agreement employees will receive no increase to their compensation in the first two years of the contract

and a 2.75 per cent increase in compensation in the third year. Modest lump sum payments are provided for in the first two years. “This settlement respects the current economic climate while acknowledging the important role our employees play in providing health care service in their communities,” said Sandra Coleman CEO, South West CCAC, and spokesperson on behalf of the 10 CCACs. In addition, the CCACs are pleased the new agreements provide for greater flexibility and will enable them to deliver their services more effectively.

“The employees of the South East CCAC are committed to delivering the best possible care to our clients and their families,” said Jacqueline Redmond, CEO of the South East CCAC. Ontario’s CCACs help people navigate a complex health care system; connect people to health care services in their own community; help clients maintain their independence in their own homes; arrange in-home health care services; and, support people and their families through the application and admission process for a long-term care home, if and when living at home is no longer possible.

Walter Used To Eat Frozen Dinners Alone

Saturday, Nov. 12th 372493_1020

Royal Canadian Legion Main St., Smiths Falls

Now he enjoys a varied menu and great company Mealtime was mostly a chore for Walter. Living alone, he would simply choose what was easiest to prepare and eat it in front of the TV. Nutrition was rarely a consideration.

LAWS seeks land/funds for new shelter By MARLA SHOOK Associate Editor mshook@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The Lanark Animal Welfare Society has outgrown their current location and in a bid to raise funds for a new shelter, they have entered the Aviva Community Fund competition. The goal, as part of LAWS long term plans to build a new shelter is to find a more centrally located chunk of land in a highly visible location so as to serve the county in a more efficient manner. It is hoped perhaps someone may donate a parcel of land to the organization to aid with costs. As part of the Aviva competition the idea has been entered in the large category (seeking $100,000 to $150,000) and every vote counts. While round one ended yesterday, Wednesday, Oct. 19, the next step is round two, then three, semifinals, judging then to Jan. 25, 2012 when the winners will be announced. Per year, the shelter may look after anywhere from 1,300 to 1,500 animals. And thus far since its founding roughly 30 years ago, have adopted over 20,000 dogs and cats. The no kill facility is non profit and survives solely on donations and fundraising. LAWS receives no government funding. Entering the Aviva Community Fund competition in the neighbourhood category, Michael McLean of the McLean Insurance Protection Team, posted the idea and the insurance company is the broker supporting it. Recently the shelter was caring for approximately 160 cats and 40 dogs. A small staff, which is assisted by volunteers are the engine, which runs the LAWS shelter. According to the overview of the project on the Aviva website, “Initially, LAWS started out with a small shelter just outside of Lanark Village. In 1986 LAWS purchased one acre of land on Glenview Road and, with the help of 600 supporters, built a small shelter that housed 12 dogs and a few cats. A cat wing was later added and over the

years, more additions were added resulting in a shelter that can now house almost 100 cats, dogs and other small animals. There is no more space for expansion and the shelter is over capacity.” The Aviva competition is split into three funding categories, small, medium and large and $150,000 of the $1 million fund is reserved for a Broker supported idea (LAWS is one of these). To vote for the project, please visit http:// www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf11355. Those interested may follow the prompts and register to vote. Votes can be made daily. As of EMC deadline, 1,339 votes were recorded on the Aviva website for this project. Aviva Canada Inc. is a property and casualty insurance group in Canada. According to their website, “In the insurance world we’re acknowledged experts. But we recognize that you know better than anyone what is needed to improve your community. That’s why we created the Aviva Community Fund competition to help make a positive change in communities by funding your ideas.” Ideas Aviva is looking for are ones which will have a positive

impact in communities. Ideas have been accepted in eight categories for this competition: neighbourhood, youth, education, health, well-being, environment, culture or other. Some of the previous projects which received funding through the competition in the past have included playground projects, a therapeutic garden, and much more.

LAWS annual Perth Bazaar to take place Oct. 29 at the Lions Hall in Perth By HOLLY AULT

EMC Lifestyle - Occasionally we report information that is incorrect. Because our annual bazaar is so well attended each year I would like to let one and all know the date and place in our fall newsletter are wrong. Please note, the date is Saturday, Oct. 29 and the place to be is the Perth Lions Hall from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. We will have craft, plant, book, White Elephant and bake tables and a silent auction and raffles. Please contact Frances Batoff, frannyb9@sympatico. ca or 613-267-1877 to make donations of baked goods and craft items. Though I didn’t get to attend the evening of Yuk Yuk’s good humour this past Saturday at Ernie’s Place in Carleton Place, I do want to report that the tickets sold out and everyone had a fabulous time. Thank you to all who supported this event by purchasing tickets and thank you to the following sponsors: Almonte Veterinary Clinic, Brenda McDonald Rowe – Century 21 Realty, Canadian Gazette Newspaper, Carleton Place Manor Retirement Home, Co-operators Insurance – Almonte & Carleton Place, EMC Newspaper – Almonte, Carleton Place & Surrounding, Ernie’s Place, In Print Media Services, Kerri Keeney – ReMax Realty Carleton Place and Waggs N’ Whiskers. The evening brought in $2,500 for the shelter; for the animals.

While I was working this past weekend a young girl and her mom stopped by to visit with our cats and to spend some time socializing with them. On their way to the cat rooms, mom stopped for a second and gave me an envelope saying this was a gift for the animals. The envelope felt bulky and at first I thought it was packages of cat treats. Upon opening it I discovered a lovely note from Chelsea, the young girl, and her friend Jasmine and $90 in small bills. The two girls had donated their birthday money to the shelter. To those two girls we would like to say thank you for your thoughtfulness, you’ve given us the opportunity to buy cat treats and soft blankets for kittens (lots of kittens) and most likely, some good meaty bones for our dogs. The donations continue to come in and I would like to report – without error – that all the contributions are making it possible for us to plan for our new shelter. We’ve outgrown our current digs because of the additional animals that now come in from all of Lanark County. The dream of a new shelter is not based on greed (who wouldn’t want a bright, spiffy new home?), but on need. Animal Control Officers from throughout the county bring in lost and abandoned cats and dogs. If the lost souls have no chip, no collar with tags, it’s quite difficult to match up lost

or neutering your cat or dog,

This Week’s Pets visit our website and fill out a ones with their family. We get dozens of calls each day from people who have lost their pet. We record the information they provide and sometimes we can place the happy call to the sad owner and let them know we’ve got their four-legged companion. Aside from successfully adopting out an animal, perhaps one that has lived far too long at the shelter, one of our biggest thrills is to reunite people with their pets. We ask that owners consider having their animals micro-chipped and to update necessary info with the micro-chip company when they change residences and/or phone numbers. The cost of a chip is not high, speak with your vet, and the odds of getting your pet back increase substantially. Additionally, it can help you save on your municipal or township pound fees. And lastly I would like to emphasize the importance, the necessity of having your pet spayed or neutered. Our shelter is teeming with pregnant cats, nursing cats and rescued litters of kittens. The numbers would not be so high if mom cats had been spayed in the first place. Remember, when you adopt from LAWS we’ve taken care of spaying or neutering and micro-chipping for you – it’s part of why there is an adoption fee. If you are in financial need and cannot afford to pay for spaying

SNAP (Spay Neuter Assistance Program) application. Through this program we have helped many people and have reduced the chance of many more lost kittens, cats and dogs from winding up on our doorstep. So, for the woman who visited the shelter one day and asked the staff to tell me to include a Spay Neuter message at the end of each of my columns, here it is: Please spay or neuter your dog or cat and help reduce the population of homeless animals. Once again we’re in need of canned kitten, cat and dog food. Fourteen new cats and kittens and eight dogs arrived at our door this past weekend adding to our current high population. A canned food treat helps them feel more at home and can ease some of their stress. Blankets, towels, bleach are most welcome donations. We change out the animals’ bedding minimum twice a day due to accidents and messes. A clean bed is a pleasure for all of them. We’re looking for Milk Bone treats for the dogs to utilize in the training we do with them. All sizes – small, medium, BIG – are appreciated. This week’s pets It’s time for Stella to “go home”. This pretty little cat has not adjusted as well to the shelter environment as some of our other cats. We can tell by her

shy approach to us she’s feeling crowded out in the cat runs. Her health is excellent, as is made obvious by her shining coat. Stella is spayed and at only

one year of age, she’s got many years to give to a new owner and home. Stevie is a black 10-year old gentleman of a feline. He came to us in August matted beyond belief and in horrible pain from this, and thin – dreadfully thin. He’s been fattened up now and he’s had a spiffy buzz cut after his mats were trimmed off. What was left was a goodnatured, friendly, dignified cat who still has it in him to have his undignified moments (silly play, rolling on floor, reaching

out to touch a passing leg or hand). Handsome Essex is what is called a Harlequin cat. My experience with Harlequins has been very positive. With their tabby markings and the inclusion of soft white fur, they seem to embody all the best traits found in the good old tabby mixed with the soft nature of a pure white cat. Essex is just two-years old, is a big (not fat) boy and is one of the first cats to come meet and greet you in the cat runs. He has been patiently waiting since June. Lanark Animal Welfare Society is located on Glenview Road, just off Highway 43, about 2 kms west of Smiths Falls. The shelter is open Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Write to us at P.O. Box 156, Smiths Falls, ON K7A 4T1 or contact us at 613283-9308, fax 613-283-0982 or email at shelter@lanarkanimals. ca. Visit our website at www.lanarkanimals.ca.

School Bus Safety Week being celebrated Oct. 17 to 21 EMC News – Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO), the newly-created transportation consortium for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), is joining other transportation consortiums and school transportation companies across Ontario in celebrating the importance of school bus safety during School Bus Safety Week. In the Province of Ontario, more than 800,000 children and teenagers ride safely in over 18,000 school buses to and from school every day. Studies show that school buses are the safest method for transporting young people – up to 16 times safer than passenger cars. “Ensuring the safety of students as they enter and exit the bus is crucial,” said STEO general manager and chief administrative officer, Ron Cotnam. “We are training our bus drivers to be cautious, but we need help from parents and motorists to make sure they watch for school buses

stopped to load and unload children. No issue is so urgent that motorists cannot wait for a school bus.” The law requires motorists to stop for a school bus anytime it has stopped to load or unload. In Ontario, buses display red flashing lights and a stop sign is extended from the side of the bus to alert motorists to stop. Cotnam offers the following tips for students as they get on and off the bus: • Always remain in direct view of the bus driver; • Always cross in front of the bus, but only when the bus driver signals it is safe to do so; • Always follow the driver’s directions for how to cross the street; • Take 10 giant steps back from the curb while waiting for the bus and 10 steps when exiting the bus; • Be alert to traffic and look both ways; • Never try to get anything left on the bus after exiting; • Never reach underneath the bus; and

• Get to the bus stop in plenty of time. Bus contractors throughout the region will be conducting contests and promotions in conjunction with local schools in support of School Bus Safety Week, and student safety. Police departments throughout the region will also be diligent in ensuring drivers are following all rules and laws. To obtain additional information on school bus safety, and promotions being conducted, parents and students can access the web sites of either board by logging on to www.cdsbeo.on.ca for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario and clicking on the Transportation link; or by logging on to www.ucdsb.on.ca and clicking on the Transportation link for the Upper Canada District School Board.

BarnDoor Productions is opening their 17th season with the show, their first in the new Full Circle Theatre, which

was opened in August with an acclaimed production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s fitting that BDP should start off the first full season in their new home with a sequel to Blithe Spirit which was the first production of their very first full season, back in October of 1995. Nearly 80 productions later, Perth’s original community theatre now has a remarkable performance space of their own, converted largely by volunteer labour from a car wash to a welcoming, warm and comfortable prosceniumstyle theatre, offering the area’s largest stage, with seating and accessories that connect the troupe to Perth’s long theatrical history, going back into the 19th century. That 17th season will be a memorable one, with a December revival of BDP’s 2009 musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’s The Chimes coming to the stage for which it was actually written, followed by one of the funniest farces from master farceur Ray Cooney, Not Now, Darling and closing in April with a production of one of the most storied plays of the last century, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? In between, the Full Circle Theatre will feature many other events, from

IC T

ing on Oct. 14, BDP felt it needful to postpone the opening for one week when they were forced to re-cast two roles just two and a half weeks prior to opening. While regrettable, it’s something that can happen in community theatre (or professional theatre, for that matter – ask the cast of the Spiderman musical). What has resulted is a strong cast of both experienced veterans of BarnDoor’s shows and some exciting new faces. These include Juli Heney (BDP’s Ethan Claymore and The Merry Wives of Windsor), David Bird (who played Charles Condomine in both of BDP’s previous productions of Blithe Spirit), Janice Jacklin (reprising Madame Arcati after playing her in BDP’s 1995 Blithe Spirit), and Nelson McCulloch (BDP’s Ethan Claymore) and BDP newcomers Grace Main, Adrienne Ryan, Nicole Bamber and Rowan McCulloch. Directed by BDP veteran performer Joe Laxton, the play moves with pace and energy from intriguing beginning to surprising ending – with lots of interest in between.

of true love, all tied up in a fast-paced, witty and always surprising package. It’s a daunting task to pit one’s talents against the legendary wit of Sir Noel, but the script does indeed seem to touch on that rarified atmosphere -- brittle and acerbic, sharp and stinging, but always funny and entertaining, BarnDoor Productions feels they’ve created a truly worthy tribute to the playwright, wit and songwriter who, for many, virtually created the concept of Englishness for the 20th century. Free Spirits should please Coward-ites and the general public equally. Coward boasted that he created the first draft of Blithe Spirit in four weeks – the first draft of Free Spirits appeared in one week and author David Jacklin (after working on many Noel Coward plays and several Blithe Spirits in particular in the past) felt that the play simply rolled out, scene after scene, draft after draft, with inspired speed. While Coward’s play is still under copyright, Free Spirits shares only character names and place settings with it, which are not copyrightable. It looks like Coward, it sounds like Coward, but it’s an entirely original work. Originally slated for open-

EMC Entertainment – The formula is tried and true. It delighted audiences in 1940, 1950, 1960, and 1970, and continues to do so today, with a 2008 revival on Broadway winning a number of Tony awards. Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit is one of the iconic, and most enduringly entertaining, plays of the twentieth century. But the end of the play leaves a question open. When the play’s principal character, Charles Condomine, leaves his home at the play’s end, just seconds ahead of the vengeful spirits of his two dead wives (it’s a comedy, honestly!), the play doesn’t give us any clues as to what happens to them after that. Perth’s BarnDoor Productions decided to take up that question and has created Free Spirits, a sequel to Sir Noel’s play, which will open at Perth’s new Full Circle Theatre on Oct. 21. The new play picks up the story seven years after the end of Coward’s play when Charles, against his will, is brought back to the house he left so quickly and finds that his two dead wives still haunt the premises -- much to the annoyance of his third wife. It’s a reunion of sorts and involves ghostly happenings, seances and a bit

Classic Theatre Festival sees major growth in 2011 season By MATTHEW BEHRENS

EMC Entertainment – The Classic Theatre Festival has just announced the results from its second successful summer season of professional theatre, and preliminary figures indicate that the organization, dedicated to producing classic hits off Broadway and the London stage, will continue to grow in years to come. The festival, which engages in intensive marketing of Perth as a tourist destination, saw a 15 per cent growth in its 2011 audience, with a significant increase in the number of visitors from Ottawa, Kingston, and beyond. With the support of the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Ontario Tourism Event Marketing Program, the message touting Perth and the Festival as a premiere summer destination was disseminated to a very wide audience. “We are thrilled that so many people are not only coming to the Festival, but also eating in restaurants, shopping in stores, and increasingly staying overnight in our local accommoda-

tions,” says Artistic Producer Laurel Smith. “The Festival is a unique economic driver for Perth in that it is the only such ongoing event, taking place over the course of two months, that provides a steady stream of visitors throughout the summer, over 70 per cent of whom are tourists.” The move to a new venue, the wheelchair accessible Mason Theatre inside of Perth and District Collegiate, was also a plus. “A lot of visitors were really wowed with the lobby of the school, the Memorial Wall, the many awards its students have won, the incredible history that is part of PDCI,” says Smith, who noted the festival hosted a wide range of notable visitors, from the cultural attaché and deputy ambassador of the Netherlands to the grandson of basketball founder James Naismith and the widow of one of the shows’ playwrights, Marjorie de Hartog. “Visitors were also impressed with many of the students who were part of the co-op program and who also volunteered as our front of house staff.” The Festival’s productions

‘Bell, Book and Candle’ and ‘The Fourposter’ were both warmly received by audiences and also included strong critical praise from the Ottawa Citizen and the Capital Critics Circle. Festival performers were also frequently featured on CBC Radio and the A Channel, and all generously promoted Perth as a destination. The festival also advertised extensively with WPBS TV. In addition to the artistic success of the 2011 summer season, the Festival was also graced with an extraordinary

outpouring of volunteer support. Joan Frommer, who acted as volunteer coordinator, brought in almost 60 individuals, as well as high school co-op students, who performed over 1,500 hours of volunteer time as ushers, set builders and painters, backstage dressers, and more. With the support of the Perth and District Community Foundation, the Festival was also able to launch its Save-a-Seat program to open up blocks of seats for individuals and families who normally could not afford to

attend. Save-a-Seat tickets were distributed with the assistance of Lanark County Social Services, the Perth Food Bank, Canada World Youth, and North Frontenac Community Services, among other agencies, while tickets were also offered to First Nations evacuees who were resettled in Smiths Falls during the fires that swept northern Ontario. The Save-a-Seat program will expand in 2012, and individuals who wish to make charitable donations to open up those free seats can do so by calling 1-877-283-1283

ext. 3 and speaking with Matthew Behrens, Community Outreach Coordinator. Alternatively, tax deductible donations can be made out to Burning Passions Theatre and mailed to PO Box 2121, 57 Foster Street, Perth, K7H 1R0. In the meantime, the Festival is finalizing production rights for two new shows to be produced in 2012, and will be announcing the summer season, as well as early bird and holiday sales discounts, within the next month.

Spezza embraces leadership role with Sens By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com Seems like only yesterday, doesn’t it, that Jason Spezza was the face of the future for the Ottawa Senators. “Time flies, I guess,” the 28-year-old centre says with a chuckle when he’s reminded he’s now in his eighth full National Hockey League season with the team. “I’ve played over 500 games now and in the last year, I’ve realized I’m one of the older guys on the team.” Not that Spezza, the second overall pick of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, is anywhere near old codger status. But on a team that has started to see greater inroads made by generation next, he’s a definite elder statesman. And someone who realizes he has a bigger role to play in nurturing the Senators’ youth movement to full fruition. Spezza sees the likes of Colin Greening and Erik Condra and Bobby Butler — players who, just like him, needing some seasoning down on the farm with the American Hockey League’s Binghamton Senators — and feels like he definitely has something to offer in terms of lending a guiding hand. “You can see the changeover happening,” Spezza said

Senators centre Jason Spezza is no longer the new kid on the block and he embraces the opportunity to share his experience with the team’s younger players (Photo by Phil Ellsworth/NHLI via Getty Images).

in reference to the wealth of younger talent that dots the Senators roster to start the 2011-12 season. “But it’s a role that I embrace. I have a lot of great experience and I’m still a relatively young guy. I was fortunate to be able to play in the league when I was 19 and I like to share that experience. “I think I can relate to these guys because I played in the minors, too, and I

know how anxious you are to prove that you can do well and be a full-time NHL player. So I can draw on my past experiences to help guys along their path.” Experience, he believes, is the best teacher of all and that seeing really is believing. “As the year goes on, there’s lots of little things you can pass on,” he said. “I think the biggest thing

for a young player is seeing that you try to be a good example, you try to practise hard and work on your game. Even when things are going good, I like to work on my game after practice and you hope that kind of stuff just rubs off. “Usually, the best way to help guys out is just leading by example. That’s my intention going into the year and I hope I can be a good example for guys and also help them out with some little things along the way.” But the benefits of that relationship don’t just run one way. When the Senators brought a raft of younger players up from Binghamton in the final six weeks of last season, it seemed to light a spark among the veterans who were discouraged by the thought of missing the playoffs for the second time in three seasons. “The youthful exuberance they bring gives a breath of fresh air to everybody in the room and makes you want to compete every

day,” said Spezza. “These guys are excited to be in the NHL and I think they rejuvenate some of the older guys. And the older guys’ experience will help some of the younger guys out, so I think it’s a good mix. “Everybody feeds off the

energy and the excitement. You see these guys and something new is going on for them every night. First goals, first games … I think that’s one of the reasons we did so well at the end of last year, because we had that excitement.”

agent signing James Wisniewski adds a jolt of offence to a blue line also manned by the capable Kris Russell and Marc Methot. The Blue Jackets’ cause will also be helped greatly if goaltender Steve Mason can regain his Calder Trophy winning form of three years ago.

FLORIDA PANTHERS Veteran Ed Jovanovski is back with the Panthers, joining a newlook blue-line corps that includes former Stanley Cup winner Brian Campbell and 2010 first-round pick Erik Gudbranson. Jose Theodore and Scott Clemmensen will hold the fort in goal until top prospect Jacob Markstrom is ready to grab the reins.

Thursday, Oct. 27, 7:30 p.m., Sportsnet Sens Aiming to make a bigger impact in a non-traditional hockey market and challenge for a playoff berth, the Panthers underwent serious change over the summer. The huge turnover impacted every area of the lineup, with a revamped forward ranks bringing the likes of Sean Bergenheim, Tomas Fleischmann, Scottie Upshall and Kris Versteeg into the mix to complement mainstays Stephen Weiss and David Booth.

The Brett Pearson Run for Your Life raises awareness EMC Lifestyle - Nicole Pearson is a charter member of the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee. She lost her son Brett to suicide five years ago when he was only 16. Since then she has given numerous presentations to school classes and assemblies to speak openly about suicide, mental health, and substance abuse. She has reached out to countless young people and adults alike and together they have collectively brought these topics out into the light of day. Her open, frank, and compassionate dialogues have helped many to come forward to share their own grief, or to reach out to others to seek help in dealing with life’s challenges. I am proud to be associated with her in our work on the drug strategy committee and I continue to be in awe of her strength, courage, and commitment. Brian Turner Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee Chair Sept. 10, 2011 came like any other day in Lanark County but in Carleton Place it would be a different day. The municipal council had declared that day as ‘Suicide Awareness Day’ and the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee held its 1st annual Brett Pearson Run for Your Life charity event. I lost my son to suicide on Nov. 20, 2006. He was only 16 years old. My passion in helping youth started immedi-

ately after Brett’s death and I took comfort in remembering that Brett liked helping people while he was alive and I would make it my mission to do the same. Having the event this year was important to me as it would mark the fifth anniversary of Brett’s passing. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among our youth next to road traffic accidents. My vision of this day was to hopefully have people within Lanark County gather ‘under one roof’ so to speak, especially those who had been suffering from the lost of a family member or friend to suicide or substance abuse, or any individual feeling the distress of mental illness. There are so many out there suffering in silence and having an event like this will give the message that they are not alone and there is no shame in reaching out for help. The event started with the delivery of important messages by several guest speakers: Carleton Place Mayor Wendy Leblanc, Brian Turner Chair Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee, Dr. Manuela Joannou Physician from Perth, Morah MacDonald Kids Help Phone and Father David Andrew from Carleton Place. Three students Blaire Mayer, Lilli Mayer and Jason Crozier shared their opinions and their hope for a brighter future. As I observed the many participants that day I was reas-

sured that we had made progress in reducing the stigma of mental illness, suicide and substance abuse. Several individuals on the day had their own pains to share for the first time to others. It brought a dialogue that is usually so difficult to commence. This was proof to me that there was no shame in sharing our feelings towards suicide, overcoming substance abuse or mental illness. The event provided a space, a safe environment to share, cry and comfort each other. Our mission was accomplished, just as I had hoped. As I look back on that day, Sept. 10, The Brett Pearson Run for Your Life, I honestly can say that our community was made a better place to live in and I would like to sincerely say thank you to all who came out and participated within Lanark County including citizens from as far as Ottawa and Peterborough. We raised over $2,000 for the Kids Help Phone organization, a group that provides counselling to kids across the nation to reach out to those at risk. I hope many more will join us next year for The Brett Pearson Run for Your Life as we continue to make Lanark County a community in which our residents can continue to feel that they are supported and that we care about them. A heartfelt thanks to my son Brett who is giving us the strength to move forward. Nicole Pearson

Boxing robots pay tribute to Rocky films My Take MARK HASKINS

no idea they were so therapeutic.

Hugh Jackman is great. His character is a complete

scum bag. I mean, this guy is lower than dirt, and yet he’s extremely likeable. He’s more than likeable, he’s redeemable, and it’s not just any actor who can pull that off. Dakota Goyo is very charming. He’s quick, funny and has great chemistry with Jackman. To just ignore the mother’s

death was a mistake. I might be nitpicking, but you don’t just lose your mother then get thrown together with your deadbeat dad, and have it be all right – even if your father is Hugh Jackman, and he has a giant fighting robot. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Explore your local library during Ontario Public Library Week Oct. 16 to 22 EMC News – Oct. 16 to 22 is Ontario Public Library Week, an opportunity to celebrate public libraries, their staff and their patrons. This year’s theme, ‘Your Library, A Place Unbound’ suggests that, as part of a changing world, libraries are expanding their resources as they connect people to information and reading. Innovations such as digital and downloadable books, music, movies, Internet access, electronic databases, eReaders, gaming, and the utilization of social media such as Facebook and Twitter appeal to a new generation of library users!

“Public libraries are without boundaries, places of endless opportunity where Ontarians can access information, improve their literacy and engage in lifelong learning,” said David Allen, chief executive officer of the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries. “Ensconced as dynamic community hubs, public libraries of today are integral to our province’s growth and cultural vitality.” “Demographically, no other cultural institution sees as wide a range of residents as the public library,” noted Jim Bennett, board chair of the federation. “Each year,

66.5 million visits are made in person to Ontario public libraries, which is three times the annual attendance at all North American NHL hockey games.” Ontario’s 300+ public library boards will be marking Ontario Public Library Week with a variety of activities. The official launch for the provincial campaign took place at Whitby Public Library Oct. 17 with guest speaker the Honourable Michael Chan, Minister of Tourism and Culture. Join the millions of Ontarians who already recognize the value of their local library and

are making the most of the free services and resources to small businesses, job seekers, preschoolers, new Canadians, seniors and students. Contact your local library for a list of the special events and activities planned in your area. Library-owned and driven, the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries is a not-forprofit membership association established in 2005 to provide a single, strong voice for public libraries in Ontario to enhance library policies and programs. Submitted by the Federation of Ontario Public Libraries.

has brought them back together. Charlie introduces Max to the world of robot boxing because that’s basically all he knows. One night after a particularly bad fight Max and Charlie are in the junk yard looking for spare parts, and they find Atom. Atom is an old sparring bot built to take a lot of punishment but not to dish any out. Nonetheless Max wants to get Atom a fight and it isn’t long before both Max and Charlie learn Atom is something special. With Max’s determination and Charlie’s boxing knowhow, they take Atom all the way to a championship fight with Zeus the undefeated champ. I probably would have loved Real Steel were it not for one thing. The effects are fantastic, the cast is awesome, and it’s got giant robots destroying each other. I honestly don’t need much more than that, but the film lost me right at the beginning. Max loses his mother and is stuck with the father who never wanted him, and it’s all but forgotten. It should have been Max’s motivation for everything he does, but as soon as the shiny robots come out, it is like his mom never existed. I know giant fighting robots can be kind of distracting, but I had

MOVIE: Real Steel STARRING: Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, and Evangeline Lily, DIRECTOR: Shawn Levy RATING: PG-13 EMC Entertainment - It’s kind of hard to believe you could make a movie based on the classic Rock’em Sock’em Robot game, but I suppose you should never underestimate Hollywood’s desperate need for inspiration of any kind. Real Steel is every boxing movie you’ve ever seen except instead of people beating the snot out of each other you have robots beating the oil out of each other. It’s a serious homage to Rocky. It’s actually kind of ridiculous how much they pay tribute to Rocky. In fact Stallone might want to speak to a lawyer. When the world of professional boxing shifted from humans to robots, pro boxer Charlie Kenton (Hugh Jackman) found himself outside the ring. Not ready to quit he did the only thing he could. He got himself a robot and got back in the game. Unfortunately Charlie hasn’t seen much success. Then along comes Charlie’s son Max (Dakota Goyo). Charlie walked out on Max and his mom when Max was born. That was 11 years ago, and the death of Max’s mom

Website for youth launched Oct. 13 By MARLA SHOOK Associate Editor mshook@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The youth of Lanark County have shaped and guided how the Truth for Rural Youth (TRY) website looked prior to its launch Oct. 13 and will continue to do so. The website, will provide a forum as well as a resource for teens from Grades 7 to 12, on issues such as dating violence, abuse, healthy relationships, gender equality, sexuality and more. And prior to the launch, organizers were looking for

submissions from youth on those very topics. After finding out an appeal for funding had been granted in April, Lanark County Interval House was hired in May to produce the site, explained Sarah Bingham, Project Coordinator, My Webworld: Truth for Rural Youth Project with LCIH. Youth from Lanark County were surveyed in depth throughout the proceeding months to ensure it catered to their needs. “It’s theirs. It’s their tools,”

Bingham emphasized. The site will also be connected to Facebook, Twitter and Youtube and feature submitted content from youth updated on a regular basis. All content will be proofed by the project team prior to its placement on the site, however Bingham said the intention is to only ensure no bullying takes place on line. Teens will be allowed to express themselves how they wish. Youth are also encouraged to submit their questions online, and may do so anony-

Halloween fun at the Merrickville Public Library The library also continues to offer its StoryTime program Friday mornings at around 10 a.m. with two special weeks of Halloween fun for this month (Oct. 21 and 28). StoryTime is a drop-in program for ages six and under (and a parent or caregiver). Every week includes stories, songs, rhymes, rhythm instruments, and a simple craft related to a theme, plus content from the Every Child Ready to Read program to promote pre-literacy skills. For more information about these programs, please visit the library. Submitted by the Merrickville Public Library.

Ruth still remembers her first car at 93! ter pulling it a short distance down the road, it would start. Bill would then unhitch her, turn her around, give her a slap on the rump, and say ‘Home, Kate.’ She headed back to the barn where a treat of oats awaited her.” The starting problem was finally cured by a trip to “Speedy” Ross in Tilbury, a Chrysler mechanic who replaced all the wires and plugs. “But new problems arose,” says Ruth. “All four tires were bald and there were patches in all of them. I learned how to jack up a car and change a tire. Tires were rationed because of the war and we had permission to get only one. Then a friend gave us an address in Windsor and told us to ask for a man named Shorty. We went there and voila, we came home with four new tires. I enjoyed sprucing up the car by painting wide whitewalls on the tires and painting the fins (louvers) on the hood red, white, and blue. The car was blue and every third fin didn’t need paint. “My dog could hear the car coming and would race down the lane to meet me. I would stop and let him ride with me to the mailbox. The memories

of my first car will remain with me forever.” If the story of your car is published in this column, you will receive a copy of Bill Sherk’s latest book “Old Car

Detective Favourite Stories, 1925 to 1965.” To share your stories, email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John Street, P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont., N8H 3W2.

EMC Lifestyle - Ruth Traquair of Wheatley, Ont., was born on a farm in Essex County and graduated from Tilbury High School in 1937. She landed her first teaching job close to home at $600 a month in a one-room school and boarded for three dollars a week with a farm family with no running water, no washroom except an outhouse, and no central heating. When she married a young farmer, she needed a car to get to school, now 10 miles away. On a trip to Windsor, she bought a 1933 Plymouth coupe with a six cylinder engine, rumble seat, and suicide doors. It was difficult to start in cold weather, and her husband would pour a tea kettle of hot water over the manifold to get her going. At school, she kept a pan of water on the stove for when she wanted to drive home. “Often, when the weather was damp, the wires and spark plugs had to be dried off and the distributor cap taken off and dried as well as the rotor. Then the car would start after a few grumbles,” recalls Ruth. “On very cold mornings, my husband would hitch old Kate (a horse) to the car. Af-

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Flu season is very quickly approaching EMC Lifestyle - Influenza is a preventable illness that can be very dangerous to some individuals. Because influenza is extremely contagious and is capable of spreading rapidly from person to person, it is important for individuals to follow these steps to protect themselves as well as others in the community: Get a flu shot, wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, keep frequently touched hard surfaces clean and disinfected, cover your cough, and stay home when you are sick. Flu vaccine provides

adults and children with active immunity against the influenza virus. The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit recommends annual immunization against influenza for any persons over six months of age. There is a new flu vaccine produced each year to protect against the three strains of influenza most commonly circulating during the flu season. Pregnant women are recommended to receive the influenza vaccine. Children between the ages of six months and nine years who are getting the flu shot

for the first time should get a second dose one month later. There are some people for whom the flu shot is not recommended, please check your health care provider for more information on this. Vulnerable populations in the community include very young children, pregnant women, people over 65, and adults and children with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, respiratory, cardiac, kidney disease or cancer. These individuals are at greater risks for serious complications from the flu. The

flu shot is the safest way to protect yourself and your family and friends from the influenza virus. The vaccine protects approximately 70 per cent of people who get a flu shot. However, the protection rate in seniors is less, as their immune systems are weaker. You may still get the flu even though you received your flu shot but being vaccinated will help to reduce the severity of your symptoms. You cannot get the flu from receiving a flu shot. The flu vaccine does not contain live virus and thus is incapable of giving you

the flu. Most people have no reaction to having a flu vaccine while some report having tenderness at the injection site for a few days. After receiving a flu shot some people may experience a mild fever, feeling tired, or having muscle aches and this is considered a normal reaction to having a vaccination. It is not the flu. How can you get the influenza vaccine? Getting immunized against influenza is easy, convenient, and free. See your health care provider or attend one of the flu clinics

in your area. There are 18 community clinics being held this year from Oct. 24 to Dec. 1. Most area communities will have one flu clinic with three communities having two clinics. For more information about the flu and for a listing of free flu shot community clinics, contact the Health Unit at 1-800-660-5853 or 613345-5685 or visit our web site at http://www.healthunit.org/infectious/flu_ flyer_locations_2011.pdf Submitted by the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

Exploring D’Arcy McGee’s Perth connection By CHRIS MUST

PERTH’S PAST

cmust@perfprint.ca

EMC Lifestyle – It is ironic that while Canada’s birth as an independent nation occurred peacefully – in contrast to the revolutionary war that freed the United States from British rule – one of the fathers of Confederation fell to an assassin’s bullet less than a year later. The event that rocked the new Dominion of Canada took place shortly after 1 a.m. on April 6, 1868. Thomas D’Arcy McGee, Member of Parliament for Montreal West, left the House of Commons after a late sitting, and walked to his apartment on Sparks Street. As he was turning the key in the lock, McGee was shot in the head and killed. Within 24 hours police had arrested a tailor named Patrick James Whelan. Acting on a tip, they went to Whelan’s hotel room, where they found copies of a revolutionary Irish-American newspaper, membership cards from IrishCanadian organizations that included Fenian radicals, and a Smith & Wesson revolver that had apparently been fired the previous day. Several witnesses claimed to have heard Whelan talking about assassinating McGee. By the time Whelan went to trial in September, the evidence appeared damning, although the accused continued to maintain his innocence. On Sept. 15, 1868, Whelan was found guilty and sentenced to death. Although the credibility of many of the witnesses testifying against Whelan was undermined during the trial, circumstantial evidence and the presence of the recently fired revolver convinced the jury to convict. Forensic tests conducted in 1972 also indicated that the fatal bullet was compatible with both the gun and the bullets that Whelan owned. Whelan was publicly hanged in front of a crowd of 5,000 people. A similarly large crowd filled the streets of Montreal for McGee’s funeral on April 13, 1868, on what would have been his 43rd birthday. The notorious murder weapon made the news again in 2005, when it was reported that it was to be sold in an

ly taken by pioneering Montreal photographer William Notman. Notman was a native of Scotland who moved to Montreal in 1856 to open a professional photography studio which he operated for the next three decades, winning many awards. The reprint of Notman’s D’Arcy McGee photo recently found in Perth was made by E. Morrison of Pioneer Gallery, which was located on Gore Street. The age of the print is clear from the address of the gallery which appears on the back: “Gore St., Perth, C.W.” The initials “C.W.” clearly refer to “Canada West.” The province of Canada West was known as Upper Canada until 1841. It became known as Ontario after Confederation. The inscription on the back of the print also includes space for a print number, although no number is written there, indicating that a series of them were made. Why prints of McGee’s

photo were popular in Perth is a bit of a mystery, but there is some evidence that he had a family connection to the area. Prouse said he also has a theory that, “After D’Arcy McGee died there was an outcry, and maybe people just wanted his photo.” According to information from genealogist Brian Bailey posted on the website www. bytown.net, D’Arcy McGee’s grandmother Elizabeth lived in what was once known as Boyd’s Settlement, located on Highway 7 between Carleton Place and Perth. Elizabeth Magee (1756-1843) emigrated from Ireland, and is buried at Boyd’s Methodist Cemetery, at the former site of Boyd’s Settlement. Perth’s Past is a regular feature exploring some lesser-known facts about the town’s history that are being discovered during preparations for 200th anniversary celebrations in 2016. Next week: some unusual homegrown inventions.

It was purchased for $105,000 by the Museum of Civilization. McGee was born in Ireland, and immigrated to the United States in 1842 at the age of 16. He moved to Montreal in 1857, where he began publishing a newspaper called the New Era. Elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada the following year with the support of the Irish population of Montreal, he worked toward the creation of an independent Canada.

Irish nationalist, McGee later denounced the Fenian Brotherhood, the Irish separatist movement which advocated rebellion against Britain. Armed groups of Fenians actually mounted unsuccessful invasions of British-ruled Canada in the years between the end of the U.S. Civil War in 1865 and Confederation in 1867. McGee angered the Fenians by condemning violence and the secret societies that advocated it, and this is believed to have been the motive for his murder. A photographic print of the

most well-known photograph of McGee recently came to light in Perth, when local antique dealer Martin Prouse purchased a photo album dating back to the mid-19th century. Prouse, who owns the Merchant of Heriot store on Gore Street, told the EMC he was looking through the pictures in the album when he spotted the well-known image. “I said, “Hold it, stop, that’s D’Arcy,” he recalled. The small print, defaced at some point by a child scribbling with a pen, is a reprint of a picture original-

Lanark Village water to be tested, health unit announces EMC News – In collaboration with the council of Lanark Highlands Township, the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit will be offering its services to interested residents to assess the quality of the drinking water in homes in Lanark Village. In November 2009, a boil water advisory was issued to all residents of the village as a

result of historical data indicating that many wells throughout the Village of Lanark had unsatisfactory water sample results for bacterial contamination. The medical officer of health would like to review whether the need for the “boil water advisory” still exists. Public health inspectors will be going door to door within the community of La-

nark Village to offer the water sampling service to each homeowner. Health inspectors will have health unit identification with photo ID to verify that they are employees of the health unit. Inspectors will be working in the village during business hours and into the early evening to accommodate residents who work during the day. There is no cost to either

the municipality or the homeowner. A set of three samples from each well will be taken one week apart to ensure accuracy of sampling. The sampling service began Oct. 19. In addition to the water sample taken for bacteriological analysis, a small sample to test for nitrates will be taken. Each sampling session will only take a few

minutes. Information such as the name of the homeowner and contact information will need to be collected; however the sample results of a specific home will be kept confidential and will be released to the homeowner only. A report summarizing the results will be provided to the chief administrative officer of Lanark Highlands Township.

Results of the water sampling will help provide valuable up-to-date information on the quality of the water supplying homes in the village, and help inform the decision of the Medical Officer of Health to either continue or rescind the existing boil water advisory. Residents of the village may contact the health unit at 613283-2740 or 1-800-267-7918.

Plans in the works for Perth’s 2011 Festival of Good Cheer EMC Events - What do you get when you combine a beautiful Victorian-era town, exciting shopping, fireworks, music and great food? Perth’s annual Festival of Good Cheer of course, a unique chance for visitors and Perth residents to

embrace the Christmas spirit at this special time of year. And for 2011, the festival is set to feature more good cheer than ever! This year, the Perth BIA has created a whole weekend of events, comprised of two great Festivals with something

for everyone. On Friday, Nov. 25 the Festival of Lights will fill the night with ooohs and aahhhs – a spectacular fireworks display follows a bonfire, accompanied by the Perth Citizens’ Band. The grand finale of the evening will be the lighting of the Christmas trees

in the Crystal Palace, the official beginning of our most special time of year. And things are just getting started... The next day, Saturday, Nov. 26, Perth comes to life once again with a Christmas shopping fair in the Crystal Palace, discounts and demos

The Gray bequest also enabled the foundation to provide a $25,000 grant to the Algonquin College Perth Campus building fund. The foundation hosted a breakfast for professionals on Sept. 27 which attracted 28 participants. Guest speaker Ed Bettencourt of Empire Life

spoke on the topic of “Making a Difference Through Gift Planning.” Bettencourt informed participants that only 43 per cent of Canadians have made a will. He highlighted the advantages of proper estate planning in mitigating taxation, leaving more money to family members, and sup-

porting charities of choice. “People really should talk to their advisors about the opportunities,” said Turner. Admission to the foundation’s Christmas Gala is a $100 donation payable to the Perth and District Community Foundation. A $75 charitable receipt will be issued.

PDCF

Perth’s Festival of Good Cheer is an opportunity for visitors and locals alike to discover all that’s special about this great town of ours. The Festival of Lights begins at 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 25 at the Crystal Palace, and on Saturday, Nov. 26 the Festival of Good Cheer starts at 10 a.m. For details please call 613267-1100, and make a weekend of it in beautiful, historic Perth!

and District Collegiate Institute, two at St. John Catholic High School and one at the Perth campus of the TR Leger Alternative School. Gray, said Turner, “was very passionate about education.” Memorial donations made in memory of Benjamin Rogers of Perth have enabled Rogers’ parents to designate a scholarship fund to be awarded to a high school student who is continuing post secondary education in the trades at a college. The $500 scholarship will be awarded annually for a period of 10 years, said Turner. At the request of the family, students are asked to apply by preparing a brief essay outlining why they feel they are deserving of the bursary, and why they are passionate about pursuing an education in the trades. A new Youth Achievement Award has also been announced to help celebrate the foundation’s 10th anniversary, and will be presented to the winner at the Nov. 25 gala. Nominees for the award must be 19 or younger, and reside in the area served by the foundation: Perth, or the townships of Drummond/North Elmsley, Tay Valley or Lanark Highlands. Criteria for the award include demonstrated skills in volunteer, environmental or community initiatives that address the immediate needs of the community. Applications for the award are being accepted until Nov. 15. The application must contain supporting documentation, including a description of the young person’s activities, and a minimum of two testimonials from individuals unrelated to the candidate. The successful applicant will be given the opportunity to designate a registered charity of his or her choice to receive a $1,000 grant in recognition of the candidate’s achievements. Nomination forms and award guidelines are available by email at pdcf@bellnet.ca, by phone at 613-326-0295, or at www.pdcf.ca.

PERTH NEWS BRIEFS Blues series kicks off Friday The Karen Lovely Band is coming all the way up from Oregon to kick off the new 2011/12 Blues on the Rideau dinner and show series at The Cove in Westport Friday, Oct. 21. This is Lovely’s first tour into eastern Canada and her only stop in eastern Ontario. She burst on to the scene in 2008 when a major life crisis brought her back to singing after a 20-year hiatus. Her debut album “Lucky Girl” went to number one as a Pick To Click on Bill Wax’s Bluesville Show on XM Satellite radio. That was followed by a second place win at the 2010 International Blues Challenge in Memphis and a second album, “Still The Rain,” which won her even more awards. Full course buffet dinner and show is $60 per person with proceeds going to support local charities. Advance reservations are required.

Halloween at the railway museum It’s Halloween at the Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario, in Smiths Falls, Oct. 22 and 23. Visitors will be led by lantern around the museum grounds and be introduced to some of our ghoulish guests recounting some of the great railway folklore. Students from Russell High School’s Drama class will be taking part as guides and storytellers. Tours begin at 7 p.m. and run every 15 minutes. Space is limited and pre-registration is suggested. Admission: $5/adult, $4/youth. Call the museum at 613-283-5696 or email info@rmeo.org to reserve your space. Be sure to check out the Rideau Canal Museum’s paranormal activity on Oct. 29.

Laughs with Jimmy Flynn Oct. 29 It probably won’t be too scary, but popular comedian Jimmy Flynn will be presenting a special “Halloween Comedy Night” in Perth Saturday, Oct. 29. The show gets under way at 8 p.m. at Farrell Hall. Tickets are $25 in advance or $30 at the door, and are available at Shadowfax, 613-267-6817.

More Halloween fun with Perth Civitan The children of Perth are invited once again to the Perth Civitan Club’s annual Halloween Party, to be held at the Crystal Palace in the Tay Basin from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31.

Wildlife management plan The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority will host an open house Wednesday, Nov. 2 at the Drummond/North Elmsley Township council chambers to gather public input for the Perth Wildlife Reserve Management Plan. “We are updating our master plan so it is the perfect time for us to learn more about how people use the site and would they would like their in the future,” said Krista Giles, manager of conservation lands for the RVCA. The open house will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Located on the Tay Marsh, the reserve is specifically geared to wildlife management. It has a variety of habits that promote biodiversity, meaning it nurtures a wide variety of plants and wildlife. Anyone unable to attend the open house may complete an online survey at www.rvca.ca. Look for the survey link under “What’s New.”

The new Perth and District Food Bank community gardens were completed Saturday, Oct 15. Here, community garden volunteers, including gardening gurus Gill Hyland (far left) and Susie Osler (next to Hyland), took a break from their labours to pose for a group photo.

Volunteers build community garden for food bank By AMY HOGUE

EMC Lifestyle - “This garden will demonstrate how even with a small space you can grow delicious food,” Executive Director, Nancy Wildgoose, explained of the newly created community garden behind the Perth and District Food Bank at 190 Gore St. E. The community garden, complete with walkways, raised beds, an arbour and an eating area, was installed on Saturday, Oct. 15, thanks to the efforts of community partners, volunteers and food bank supporters. The new garden, designed in partnership by landscape architect, Gill Hyland, and veteran gardener, Susie Osler, was intended to create a place for people to relax as well as provide a productive garden. Osler explained she volunteered to help with the food bank garden project because she was “interested in creating

upstairs will be a location where classes and meal preparations will take place. “We want to give people skills they can take home and try out on their balcony,” Wildgoose said. Although staff are looking for an opening day in early January, Wildgoose said she is hopeful the building itself will be operational in November, with an open house in December and programming commencing in January 2012. Although further gardens remain to be built in the front of the property, Wildgoose said the gardens front and back will essentially be “demonstration” gardens, to teach people how to garden effectively. The search for a nearby lot for a larger production garden is still underway. A larger garden would allow for further cultivation and a larger production of whole foods.

Special features of the garden include a focus on accessibility: a wheelchair ramp leading to a five foot path suitable for wheelchair or walker use complements two 36 square foot raised garden beds designed to allow someone in a wheelchair to participate in cultivation and harvest. Three additional raised planters (approximately 120 square feet in total), a compost bin, an arbour and a larger, tilled garden complete the project. A large cedar table built by Lanark heritage carpenter, Jacques Mathurin, provides a place for community dinners or other outdoor activities. Wildgoose said she is hoping to provide three or four community meals at the food bank each week, adding the intent is to provide a “social place” for people to gather. The food bank itself will be located downstairs while the

a space people would enjoy being in, where people could hang out and share meals.” Osler and Hyland worked together on the project, going back and forth with design ideas and options before coming up with a final design plan. Osler said she felt she and Hyland complemented each other’s skills to create an efficient garden space. Hyland, who has 15 years of landscape design background, explained that maximizing the limited space available was the biggest challenge. “We needed to provide a teaching area as well as a gathering space,” Hyland said, “We worked with the community and used local materials when possible, to keep this sustainable.” Materials and labour for the project were provided by Perth Home Hardware, as part of its community partnership agreement with the food bank.

Perth’s budget process for 2012 outlined for town councillors cmust@perfprint.ca

EMC News – It’s essential that Perth town council sets a strong direction as preparations for the town’s 2012 budget get under way, Chief Administrative Officer John deRosenroll told councillors Tuesday, Oct. 4. In a presentation to council’s Committee of the Whole, a presentation prepared by deRosenroll and Director of Corporate Services Lang Britchford outlined a number of “financial sustainability goals and objectives” to help set the direction for next year’s budget. Britchford said the goals included sustainable and predictable tax rates, ensuring services are efficient and effective, and building sufficient reserves to meet future capital needs. The report targeted tax levy increases at or below the consumer price index, or two per cent, for 2012. Steps in the process, said Britchford, will include a five-year review of revenue and expenditures, comparing Perth’s service delivery costs to those of similar municipalities, and completing an operational overview and strategic objectives. Commenting that this process “is somewhat long and overdue in the town of Perth,” Ed McPherson, council’s chair of finance, predicted that deficit cutting efforts by the federal and provincial governments in the near future would impact municipalities. “I think it’s going to come hard on us,” he said. Landfill scale house

In other business at the Oct. 4 committee meeting councillors were advised that a proposal to have Algonquin College students build a wooden structure to replace the dilapidated trailer currently in use as a scale house at the municipal landfill site wouldn’t be practical. Noting that he had been asked to explore this option with the goal of replacing the scale house with a structure “that’s more fitting with the veneer of the municipality,” Director of Environmental Services Grant Machan reported that he had discussed the idea with Algonquin carpentry professor Mark Bell. He said Bell was “very interested in the program,” but that the structure couldn’t be built this year because “the agenda of the work term was already set for the school year.” Machan said waiting until next year to build a wooden structure would require additional spending to stabilize the existing trailer because it was in such a state of repair. Accordingly, Machan recommended that council approve the purchase of a mobile building from Williams Scotsman Canada Inc. as originally proposed. A majority of councillors voted to approve the mobile trailer purchase, with Mayor John Fenik, who had suggested a wooden structure as a more attractive option, voting against. The mobile building will cost $16,697, whereas a permanent structure with a wooden exterior would have cost an estimated $28,000. Restaurant parking The question of how many

parking spaces town council will allow at Michael’s Table Restaurant is still unclear. Presented with a choice of allowing either three spaces, or three spaces plus a smaller third space for either a compact car or motorcycle, three councillors voted in favour of one option, and three for the other option, in an informal vote. The encroachment agreement, to allow the parking to take place on municipal property on Harvey Street, will receive final approve at council’s October meeting, Tuesday, Oct. 18. Snowblower A savings of $10,673 will go to the town’s “bottom line” after a tender for replacement of a loader-mounted detachable snow blower came in under budget. Councillors approved purchase of the ma-

chine from RPM Tech Inc. for a tendered price of $91,428. A total of $103,313.64 had been budgeted for the purchase. Canal season Mayor John Fenik reported on a recent discussion with Irv Mazurkiewicz, Parks Canada’s director of operations for the Rideau Canal. Fenik said there had been “a good year of boat traffic” in Perth, with 861 boats locked through the town in 2011. This represented a three per cent decrease from the previous year, but a small decrease compared to the 12 per cent reduction in boat traffic through the entire system. The mayor cited the recession in the United States and high fuel costs as contributing factors in the decline in boat traffic. The mayor also noted that the lock master at Beveridge’s

Locks had been proactive in approaching the Perth and District Chamber of Commerce to obtain information on Perth to give to tourists during the summer. “I’m very confident that our friends at Parks Canada are doing their part,” he said. “I think they went above and beyond.” Alum storage tank In other business Oct. 4, councillors approved the purchase of a new storage tank for the town’s sewage treatment plant. Costing $43,496 plus taxes, the tank is to be used to store alum, a chemical compound used to purify water. “It’s a vertical fiberglass tank reminiscent of a farm silo,” said director of environmental services Grant Machan, adding that the existing tank had been repaired twice and was beyond its life

Emergency communication Committee of the Whole also voted to approve a recommendation from the community emergency management coordinators of Lanark County to implement a county-wide awareness campaign on emergency communications. The campaign will identify Perth radio station Lake 88 as the county’s information source during an emergency that affects the residents of the county. Although information will be sent to all media, said Perth town clerk and emergency management coordinator Lauren Walton in a report to the committee, “none of them have the capacity to release the information in the evening, early morning, or during a power outage.”

Jack Daniel unique product in fascinating town

Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE

such facility we’ve visited where there are no tastings. At the end of the visit you are referred to a store within the visitors’ centre where Jack’s famous “Tennessee whiskey” (don’t call it bourbon – they don’t like that) is available, but only in special commemorative bottles. There is an exemption for those vessels. Free tour Not that the Jack Daniel Distillery tries to gouge anyone. Quite the contrary in fact! We were surprised to learn there is no charge to tour the famous distillery, the one and only place where this unique product is distilled and packaged. Despite the overwhelming demand for JD there is only one distillery and that’s in Lynchburg. We were impressed by the well-appointed, new visitors’ centre. “You would think they’d charge for tours, if only to pay for this place,” I said as we marveled at the size and splendor of the place. It houses an impressive, life size statue of the man himself – Jack Daniel – and lots of historical artifacts associated with the long history of the distillery. It was founded in either 1866 or 1875, depending on which story you subscribe to. Record keeping was hit and miss in the 19th Century. The debate isn’t surprising considering that no one knows exactly when Jack was born. It was in 1846 or 1850, again depending on who you believe. The official records were destroyed in a courthouse fire. There’s no question about how or when he died though. This is a side story worth relating! Jack expired from blood poisoning Oct. 10, 1911. The blood poisoning developed from an infection in one of his toes resulting from an injury that need not have happened. During the tour we saw the source of frustration which led to Jack’s injury and his untimely death. The distillery owner was not a patient man. He had trouble remembering the combination of the large, black safe in the tiny building that served as the firm’s office. One morning in the fall of 1911 Jack couldn’t open the safe. In an outburst of anger he kicked the solid steel object, fracturing his toe. Infection set in, followed by blood poisoning and eventually death.

Not surprisingly the office (it’s been replaced by a much larger headquarters) and safe are important parts of today’s distillery tours. Daniel never married although we were told he had a parade of girlfriends. In 1907 he gave the distillery to his favourite nephew Lem Motlow whose name still appears on every bottle of spirits distributed by the company. Motlow is listed as “proprietor”. He operated the distillery until his death in 1947 whereupon it was bequeathed to Motlow’s five children. On paper it appears the nephew managed the firm for 40 years. In fact there was a long down period which began the year before Jack Daniel’s death. In 1910 Tennessee established state-wide prohibition which prevented the distillation of whiskey. Motlow moved operations to Missouri and nearby Alabama. But none of the product produced in those states was ever sold due to quality control issues. Nation-wide prohibition (1920-1933) meant even more problems for the Jack Daniel Distillery. Even with the national repeal, Tennessee’s own prohibition meant the company remained in limbo for five more years. In 1938 Motlow, who was by now a state senator, championed legislation which overturned the 1910 state act. The whiskey, produced using spring water on the Lynchburg site, flowed again. But only briefly! The company’s history also reveals that during World War II the U.S. government banned the manufacture of whiskey. That prohibition lasted from 1942 to 1946, the year after the war. Jack Daniel Distillery didn’t resume production until 1947 because of a lack of corn, one of the staples used to distill whiskey. Quality key In the 64 years since, business at the distillery has boomed. It could grow even further except the current owners are determined to retain quality control by making their whiskey in only one location. The guides on the distillery tour are very friendly and extremely humorous. Except when you ask them a question about the actual production of JD. Then they become sober, so to speak! The production and sale of Tennessee whiskey is very serious business indeed. Jack Daniel’s is charcoal mellowed, not once but twice. That process gives the world famous liquor its distinctive flavour. Anyone who has ever toured a distillery will relate to the term “Angel’s share”. That is the amount of product lost through evaporation, which is normal for any liquid. Please see next week for the remainder of Reflections.

EMC Lifestyle - Early last month I wrote a column about our August visit to Lynchburg, Tennessee population 361, a tiny community made famous because it is home to the Jack Daniel Distillery, producers of one of the best-selling liquors in the world. Our friend Mike Thompson from Franklin, Tenn., where we were staying, was good enough to take us on the nearly twohour drive to Lynchburg located 75 miles (120 kilometres) southeast of Nashville. My wife Kathleen and I were anxious to visit the famous distillery. Mike is a member of the Sister City Board in Franklin and Williamson County (Franklin and Carleton Place where we live have been twinned since 2005) and we are members of the Carleton Place committee. Therefore we are in regular communication. He also follows Carleton Place happenings via the EMC website. Imagine his surprise when he visited the website a few weeks later and discovered that my column on Lynchburg wasn’t about Jack Daniel or his distillery. Mike was still talking about that when he visited us three weeks ago. He was here to attend the formal dinner-dance our committee holds annually on the last Saturday of September. The venture raises funds for the Sister Cities Student Exchange involving our two communities. “We went to Lynchburg and Jeff didn’t write about Jack Daniel’s,” I heard Mike tell several people that weekend. “He wrote about Miss Mary Bobo’s instead.” I told him he needn’t have been so surprised! “It’s your fault Mike. You made the reservation at Miss Mary’s.” Admittedly I was totally intrigued with the place! Miss Mary’s Bobo’s is a unique family-style restaurant in Lynchburg that just happens to be owned by the same Kentucky firm that purchased the distillery many years ago. Regular readers of my column are now acquainted with Miss Mary’s. Believe me it is well worth a visit if you ever get to Lynchburg. This week, however, I’ll complete my original mission and give you some information about a tour that is a must for any connoisseur of bourbon. You don’t have to drink whiskey to tour Jack Daniel’s Distillery. Besides Moore County, where Lynchburg is located, is a dry county. Alcohol of any kind including “JD” (as fans refer to the product) cannot be consumed in restaurants in the county. During our travels we have toured numerous wineries, breweries and distilleries in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. The Jack Daniel Distillery is the only

JACQUES, Joseph Roger In loving memory of a dear Dad and Grandpa, who passed away October 14, 2010. Long days and nights he bore great pain, To wait for a cure but all in vain, Till God above saw what was best, And took him home with Him to rest. The rolling stream of life goes on, But still the vacant chair Recalls the time, the voice, the smile Of him who once sat there. In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of you are always near; We who loved you, sadly miss you, As it dawns another year. Love Betty Anne, Archie, Jason, Wayne & Shannon

DAY, Frank - In loving memory of a dear father and grandfather, who passed away, October 18, 1989. God took him home, it was His will, But in our hearts we love him still.

Halloween extravaganza at Studio Theatre Oct. 21 Show there last March. “(Perth) is definitely a town that supports its arts,” he added. Tickets are available on-

By CHRIS MUST

EMC Entertainment – Glass walking, a bed of nails, the electric chair, razor blade swallowing and a human dartboard will all be on tap Friday, Oct. 21 as a “hell-o-ween Extravaganza” comes to The Studio Theatre in Perth. Carnival Diablo, billed as “the ultimate sideshow” is coming to Perth for one night only, recreating the experience of the old time sideshows dating back to the Victoria era. Nikolai Diablo, the “Ringmonster” of Carnival Diablo, is played by Scott McClelland, whose background in carnivals and sideshows goes back three generations. McClelland told the EMC this week that from 1920 to 1968, his grandfather operated Canada’s largest travelling sideshow. The show stopped touring in ’68 after the death of McClelland’s grandmother. “My grandmother was a sword swallower in his show,” he added. “She could swallow seven swords at one time.” Along with The Mighty Colossus and Impervious Ophelia, Nikolai Diablo will present 90 minutes of unique entertainment. The show includes over 21 sideshow feats, McClelland said, many performed by Diablo himself. The man behind “The Mighty Colossus” is Yves Drouin, a former Olympian. “He has spent the last 30 years building his body,” said McClelland. “This guy can bend iron bars with his teeth.” Drouin’s indestructibility will be highlighted in one stunt that involves strapping him into a state penitentiary electric chair

The third member of the troupe, Impervious Ophelia, will lie on a bed of nails while Diablo places a 35-pound cinder block on her stomach and crushes it with a sledgehammer. “She actually dances on shards of glass,” McClelland added.

Carnival Diablo was founded on April 1, 1992, and has toured extensively in Canada and the United States. “We’ve done pretty well every major exhibition and every major theatre in Canada,” said McClelland. McClelland, a Toronto native, recently moved to Beachburg, near Pembroke.

Lanark County Sexual Assault T-Bolts, Spartans tied for first place The and Domestic Violence Program in Lanark senior high school football EMC Sports - A 35-19 road win over Perth and District Collegiate Institute Blue Devils last Thursday has left the undefeated Almonte and District High School Thunderbolts deadlocked in first place in the Lanark County Senior High School Football League standings. The convincing triumph left Senior T-Bolts (3-0-1) in a tie for top spot with St. John Catholic High School Spartans of Perth. Spartans blanked Carleton Place High School (CPHS) Golden Bears 38-0 at Beckwith Park the same afternoon. Almonte and St. John tied 22-22 in the first game of the season back on Friday, Sept. 23. Since then both teams have been perfect, winning three consecutive games. Spartans have been the most dominant, recording two shutouts and limiting their opponents to a meager six points in their past three outings.

Smiths Falls and District Collegiate Institute RedHawks, who blanked visiting Notre Dame Catholic High School of Carleton Place 49-0 Thursday, remains in second place with a 3-1 record. Despite their loss CPHS is in a third place tie with Perth Collegiate in the sixteam loop. Both schools have 1-3 marks and both have defeated Notre Dame who is playing their first season of senior football. The previous LanarkRenfrew senior league was split this year with the arrival of Notre Dame. The Lanark loop now has six teams while Renfrew County is playing its own schedule with four entries. Arnprior District High School Redmen, the defending league and provincial champions, are tearing up the newly formed Renfrew County senior circuit to date. Redmen won their fourth consecutive game last week, blasting visiting

Mackenzie High School Mustangs of Deep River 48-0. Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) Raiders are second with a 2-1-1 mark. Mustangs are third at 1-12 while Fellowes High School of Pembroke is winless with a 0-4 record to date. Meanwhile Lanark and Renfrew schools continue to compete in the same league in junior football. Smiths Falls and Arnprior are tied atop the junior standings with 3-0-1 records. RedHawks stayed undefeated by edging visiting St. John 7-6 last Thursday while Redmen outlasted CPHS Junior Bears Cubs 30-29 in a thriller on the artificial turf at Beckwith Park. The other junior games saw visiting Renfrew down PDCI 20-7 while Notre Dame collected their first win of the season with a 26-7 decision over Almonte in Carleton Place.

RCI is second in the junior loop with a 2-2 mark, Notre Dame and St. John are 1-2-1 while CPHS and Almonte are both 1-3 so far. Tuesday the junior circuit featured a full slate of games. Tomorrow (Friday) the Lanark senior line-up has Almonte hosting Notre Dame, St. John visiting Smiths Falls while Perth hosts Carleton Place. All are 1 p.m. kick-offs. The Renfrew senior schedule sees winless Pembroke visiting 4-0 Arnprior while Renfrew hosts Deep River. Both games start at 3 o’clock. In Lanark-Renfrew junior action Friday Almonte entertains Smiths Falls and Carleton Place journeys to Perth. Both are 3 p.m. kick-offs. Meanwhile, at 1 o’clock, Notre Dame will be in Renfrew while Arnprior tangles with visiting St. John in the opener of a senior-junior twin-bill.

EMC Events – Perth resident, Bonita Ford, will be sharing stories of her work in Haiti, where she gave trainings to teachers, community animators and agronomists earlier this year. On Oct. 21, Ford will be giving a free slide presentation and interactive workshop at St Paul’s United Church. After a brief trip to Haiti as a consultant, a few months after the 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Ford decided to raise funds and return as a volunteer. She raised over $8,500 to support three locally-based non-profits in Haiti, and to cover her own transportation and a stipend for other expenses. The organizations she chose were AMURT, Helping Hands Noramise, and Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods (SOIL), because of their relationships with the local communities, their long-term investment in Haiti, and their size. All three organizations focus on local capacity building, empowerment, sustainability and health in a number of areas, including youth leadership, micro enterprises, ecological sanitation and clean water. In May this year, Ford spent six weeks in Haiti volunteering with AMURT. She trained over 40 teachertrainers, community animators, and agronomists from three organizations and five sites, and coached three teams. Her work was based on principles from ecological design (permaculture) and Nonviolent Communication. On Oct. 21, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Ford will be giving a slide presentation about her trip at St Paul’s United Church, 25 Gore St. W. The presentation will be followed by an interactive workshop, which will include some of the exercises from her trainings in Haiti. The exercises will explore the concepts of

THE EMC - P5 - Thursday, October 20, 2011

New trail race dedicated to memory of Patrick Doyle EMC Events – On Oct. 30, in Smiths Falls, the “brave 40” will gather for the start of the new challenging run called “Pat’s Rideau Trail Race.” The competition will require runners to make their way from Smiths Falls on the Rideau Trail, all the way to Perth …with the finish line just “inside” the doors of O’Reilly’s Pub! The race is capped at 40 entrants in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Rideau Trail. While the total Rideau Trail from Ottawa to Kingston is 387 kilometers … this event covers “only” about 26km! Starting at 1 p.m. in Smiths Falls near Rob Roy’s Pub, we find the first of the R.T. trademark “orange isosce-

les triangles” that will mark our way along the UNESCO world heritage Rideau Canal, and out of town down the Poonamalie Road and into the wooded path on the way to “Barbados” (known now as Port Elmsley). Down under the bridge to “Beverage Locks” and making our way to cross a large control dam with view of the extensive marsh…it’s not long until we find ourselves on the narrow banks of the Tay River following the “Olde Tow Path” to the finish line. All runners receive a membership in the Rideau Trail Association as they will use this money for trail development and maintenance. The event is organized by the Perth Running Goats

Club; and presented this year in memory of local – but world ultra-marathon trail runner Patrick Doyle (who died in December, 2010). Patrick was born in Smiths Falls, and was in the ownership of O’Reilly’s Pub (Perth) so it made sense to run this connection. This will be the longest competitive footrace ever in Lanark County, but it was not unknown for Patrick to take on races of 300km in places like the Sahara and Gobi deserts…so completing this “wee jog” before the 6 p.m. cut-off should no problem! There are still a couple of entry spots left: email: therunninggoat@cogeco.net (613264-8904). Submitted by The Perth Running Goats Club.

Public meeting for heritage study EMC Events - On Oct. 27 at 6 p.m., the Town of Perth invites Downtown property owners and community members to attend the second public meeting with Eco Plan Consultants as they present their finding and preliminary recommendations for the proposed Heritage Conservation District. A Heritage Conservation District (HCD) is a planning process which respects a community’s heritage and identity.

The value of a HCD extends beyond the protection of cultural heritage resources. It includes an enhanced quality of life, sense of place, cultural and economic vitality, and healthy cultural tourism. Through careful study, a heritage district designation promotes understanding and appreciation of an area’s heritage values and attributes. If successful, the development and adoption of a HCD

plan provides the community with an important tool for ensuring the integrity and sustainability of the area’s unique cultural resources and for managing the impacts of cultural tourism on the environment. We want your input so please join us for the upcoming public meeting on Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. at the Perth Museum for your chance to become engaged in the future of Heritage Perth.

Westport arts council event to feature James Bartleman EMC Events – The Westport Arts Council’s fourth annual Writers Reading at the Westport United Church, 1 to 5:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 22, features authors James Bartleman, Tish Cohen, Mark Frutkin and Laurie Lewis. James Bartleman’s distinguished career has brought him from a boyhood in the Muskoka town of Port Carling, Ontario, with his roots in the Chippewa First Nation, through over three decades in diplomatic service, and an appointment as Ontario’s 27th Lieutenant-Governor in 2002. Bartleman has written five books, the most recent of which is his highly regarded first novel As Long as the Rivers Flow, released last February, and nominated for the 2011 Scotiabank Giller

Prize longlist. Two of his earlier books are the prize-winning memoirs Raisin Wine and Out of Muskoka. The autobiographical Rollercoaster, published in 2007, recounts his experiences as Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s chief diplomatic advisor from 1994 to 1998, during which he rubbed elbows with anybody who was anybody, everywhere. In his 2005 book On Six Continents, he recounted his 35-year diplomatic career in which he was the only Canadian diplomat to serve on all six continents. Bartleman and his wife now live in Perth. Tish Cohen is the author of seven novels – three adult, two young adult and two pre-teen. Her first adult novel, Town House, was a 2008 finalist for

the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize Best First Book (Canada and the Caribbean region). It is currently in development as a feature film with director Ridley Scott (Alien, Gladiator, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise) as producer, and has been translated into Italian and German. Inside Out Girl followed in 2008 and was another commercial success, a Globe and Mail Bestseller, and is also being turned into a movie. Cohen’s third adult novel, The Truth About Delilah Blue, published last year, is still selling well across North America. The Globe and Mail headlined its review of the book with “Move over, Jodi Picoult.” Her young adult novels, Little Black Lies (2009) and Switch (2011) have huge teen

followings, as do her pre-teen books in the Zoë Lama series, The Invisible Rules of the Zoë Lama and The One and Only Zoë Lama. Mark Frutkin has written seven books of fiction, two of non-fiction, and three of poetry. Frutkin’s latest book, the non-fiction Walking Backwards, released in August, recounts a decade of travels from Turkey to India to Colorado, through Venice, Paris, Rome and Points between. His novel Fabrizio’s Return won the 2006 Trillium Book Award, the Sunburst Award, and was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best Book. Atmospheres Apollinaire (1998) was shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award, the Trillium and the Ottawa Book

Shoe box presents help children in need By VIVIAN BUCHANAN

EMC News – It is hard to believe that we are halfway through our Operation Christmas Child campaign for 2011. Through Operation Christmas Child, a kids helping kids project, Canadian children, families, churches, schools and civic organizations are preparing gift-filled shoe boxes to be hand-delivered to children in need all over the world. Over 37,000 volunteers in Canada are working incredibly hard to increase the number of shoe boxes we collect, because they know the impact the boxes will have on children, their families and their countries. Our partners in receiving countries often remind us that we are changing the future of their countries through these shoe boxes. Operation Christmas Child will be making a special effort to deliver many boxes to

Haiti this year. Last Christmas 50,000 Canadian shoe box gifts were delivered to Haiti after they had a tragedy-filled year - the January 12, 2010 earthquake that killed at least 230,000 people and left 1.6 million homeless, Hurricane Tomas that caused extensive flooding and forced more people out of their homes and the cholera epidemic that has killed more than 3,650 people and led at least 171,000 more to seek treatment. In an interview with Beatrice Roland she shared, “On Jan. 12, 2010, I didn’t have any hope for the future, I didn’t have anything. My mother, father, brother and four cousins were killed in the earthquake. The house fell on them,” she says. The bodies of her brother and two cousins were never recovered. Although Beatrice and her husband Dumas and their three children survived, their home

was so badly damaged they had to abandon it -salvaging nothing - and began living in the streets. Dumas no longer had employment, and so the family’s savings ran out quickly. “Sometimes, we could not even eat one meal a day.” Beatrice says that the gift-filled shoe box that her 12 year-old daughter Anaika received has sparked optimism. “It was a nice thing to get the shoe boxes in December because we didn’t have any money to buy the children anything,” she says as she stands in front of their shelter. “The boxes have brought some hope to us and I thank you.” Samaritan’s Purse continues to work in Haiti building four-metre-by-four-metre shelters and helping treat those who are sick. What gifts go in the shoe boxes? Toys, school supplies hygiene products, candy, clothing, and toy jewellery. A per-

sonal note and/or a photo is appreciated by the child receiving the box. Choose to pack your shoe box for a girl or boy, ages two to four, five to nine, or 10 - 14. Last year I received a letter from a little girl in Kaolack, Senegal thanking me for the wonderful box she received. These little shoe boxes seem to transcend the upheavals and tragedies that occur in these countries as they are welcomed by both the leaders and parents as a little box of joy given by a caring person in another country with the aim of making a child happy. For more information call Vivian Buchanan at 613-267-2874. Boxes can be obtained at The Salvation Army Thrift Store, McMartin House, Asbury Free Methodist Church, and the Buchanans’, 24 Haggart St., Perth. The date the boxes have to be returned by is Monday, Nov. 21.

Award. Frutkin’s earlier nonfiction book, Erratic North, published in 2008, is a memoir of his years in the remote bush of Western Quebec and his personal take on the rejection of war and the search for peace. His other novels, also widely praised, include Invading Tibet (1991), of which the New York Times said: “An intriguing idea for a novel … admirable,” In the Time of the Angry Queen (1993), The Lion of Venice (1997), and The Growing Dawn (1984). A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Mark became a Canadian citizen in 1976 and has lived in Ottawa since 1980. Laurie Lewis published her first book at 80, which probably came as no surprise to her family and friends. She has lived a life surrounded by a family of writers. Her own mother coincidentally published her first book at 80. In Little Comrades, the Kingston-based publisher and

writer tells of her unorthodox childhood growing up in a Communist family in Calgary in the 1930s and of the blunt challenges of life with her by then single mother, first in Toronto and then in New York City. After a 30-year career as a designer and production editor with the University of Toronto Press, Lewis, by then relocated to Kingston, began to write by recalling snippets of her life. She has received much enthusiastic praise for her memoir. But then again, as she told an interviewer with the Globe and Mail, “Life is full of surprises.” Her short stories have appeared in Queen’s Quarterly and The Toronto Quarterly. Tickets are $15, including refreshments, available from Murphy’s Barber Shop, 5 Church St. (613-2732145), at The Cove, 2 Bedford St. (613-273-3636 or 1-888-COVE-INN), or at the door, if available.

Come out to the ‘Masqueerade’ Ball EMC Events _ Drop the mask or put one on, the choice is yours on Oct. 29 at the Perth Civitan Hall where LGBTQ Lanark County will be holding their first ever Halowe’en dance and Masqueerade ball. With live music and a DJ, the hall will be hopping with witches and warlocks, queens and queers – try a new look on for size or just let out your alter ego. Whatever your inclination, everyone is welcome to come and participate in an evening of fun and festivities. Janis Joplin tribute band, Joplinesque, will join with DJ Penny to rock the house and raise the dead. So shake things up and let those skeletons fall out of the closet! Tickets are $15 in advance (available at www.Shadowfax.on.ca) and $20 at the door. Reduced rates are available at the door for those who require it. There will be a social hour at 7 p.m. for those who wish to have a quieter atmosphere for talking and networking – the music starts at 8 p.m. So, come out on Oct. 29 and join the Masqueerade!
