Celtfest set for July 6 & 7

Lamb said has already been created by Sherry Crummy of Crummy Media Solutions. It is a graphic that will be highly visible and recognizable throughout the town, on social media, as well as in local stores. “When you talk about customer loyalty and motivation to buy local, part of that comes from an emotional connection,” Lamb commented. “...When you talk about branding, a brand is alive if there is that emotional connection to it.” She explained that there are 10 good reasons for consumers to buy local, including:

EMC Events – Join Liam the Leprechaun, Celtfest’s famous mascot, for a weekend of traditional festivities at Gemmill Park in Almonte. Celtfest is an annual event that has been taking place in Mississippi Mills for the past 17 years, says festival spokesperson Charlie Dunlap. “Its main focus is really to showcase the Ottawa Valley,” he said. “We do have some acts from Ottawa but we try to have mainly local acts.” Celtfest officially begins on Saturday, July 6 and continues into Sunday, July 7, but for those who wish to start celebrating early there will be a pub night on Friday, July 5 in various bars around Mississippi Mills. Many of the pubs will have live Celtic musicians playing throughout the night to kick off the event. “People can go from pub to pub and listen to the music,” said Dunlap. “It’s a great way to begin the festival.” JR’s Restaurant in Almonte will also host a whisky tasting that night to support the Celtic theme. The next day, starting at 2 p.m., Celtfest will begin in Gemmill Park in Almonte. The weekend will be much like previous years, but with extended music acts and more vendors. “We’re very excited about it – it’s really a great year,” says Dunlap. On the stage that was set up for Canada Day, live music will be played all day, going right up until 10 p.m. The festival will feature many local acts, including Heather Dale, Cindy Thompson and Jake Butineau and headliners The Town Pants.

Carleton Place Chamber launches buy local initiative

EMC Business – The Carleton Place & District Chamber of Commerce wants shoppers in the town to think local and buy local. A new 12-month campaign to do just that was unveiled during the Chamber’s Business at Breakfast event June 26 at Dionysos Restaurant. Past Chamber president Tracy Lamb of Mopani Communications launched the initiative, which is being developed to raise awareness of the benefits of spending money and time in Carleton Place. Lamb said the

concept began more than a year ago when the Chamber, in partnership with the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market, created a twoyear work plan “to help boost the operation and success of the farmers’ market.” “Included in that (work plan) was a buy local campaign,” she explained. “We’ve expanded that from not only the farmers’ market, but as the Chamber, it includes all businesses throughout the community.” “The thinking behind the campaign is to make an effort on an ongoing basis; not a month or a couple of years, but at least an entire year to develop a campaign that will increase

the awareness of buying local,” Lamb added. According to a release from the Chamber, “community members, including residents and business people, will become more aware of the impact that their choices have on the economic and social stability of Carleton Place and our community.” “We’re a small-town with unique offering and opportunities to connect with people,” Lamb said. “So what are we doing to connect the people of Carleton Place with you, the businesspeople?” The first step of the campaign is developing a brand, which

Housing and homelessness plan approved Council approved the draft Housing and Homelessness Blueprint, which is a plan to address Lanark County housing and homelessness issues over the next 10 years. The plan is to be submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for a 90-day comment period. Following any revisions, it will be submitted to council for final approval no later than December. A 10-year implementation plan will be

based on the seven priorities and 16 strategic objectives identified in the blueprint, and any necessary investment be considered during the annual budget process. Work on the plan began in January 2012 and involved an advisory committee of seven community representatives and community consultations. Councillor John Fenik (Perth mayor) added the Lanark County Housing Corporation met for a strategic planning session this week and the board unanimously agreed the status quo is not acceptable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be introducing bold and new initiatives to address the issue of affordable housing and our housing stock.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The following are highlights from the regular Lanark County Council meeting held Wednesday, June 26 at the county building in Perth. Council has passed a bylaw to permit the operation of all-terrain vehicles on county roads, except in Perth, Carleton Place and Almonte. The bylaw sets out numerous provisions, including speed limits: ATVs cannot be driven at speeds of greater than 20 kilometres per hour on roads with limits of not greater than 50 km/h, and they cannot exceed 50 km/h on roads with speed limits of greater than 50 km/h. The county has established a curfew prohibiting ATV operation between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. on county roads. Other provisions include the necessity of having reflective strips on all four sides of the vehicles and no chains or studs on the tires. ATVs must be driven in the same direction as traffic on the same side of the road, and multiple ATVs must ride in single file. As well, they must be driven on the shoulder or, if there is no shoulder, as close to the right edge of the road surface as possible. When making a left turn, ATVs can move away from the shoulder or right edge when it is safe to do so. Some local municipalities have bylaws regarding ATV use, others are considering bylaws and some do not permit ATVs. Bylaw 2013-20 can be found at www.lanarkcounty.ca.

Jack Johnson, local Elder of the Carleton Place congregation, said, “The convention highlighted Bible truths, and the core of the program was the encouragement given to all in attendance to continue to

look to the Bible as the source of truthful answers to the complex problems each and everyone faces in these stressful times.” Attendees could see from the presentations that these Bible truths really work, whether in one’s personal life, in a family setting or in the work place.

New signage completes transformation of Perth’s Full Circle Theatre The Full Circle Theatre at 26 Craig St. in Perth, has unveiled their new building signs, announcing the presence of Perth’s only ground-level, barrier-free theatre, just in time for summer resident company Classic Theatre Festival to move in. The project to transform the building, which formerly housed a car wash operation to a 102seat theatre first began back in 2009. Submitted photo

EMC Entertainment – It was a gold letter day at Perth’s Full Circle Theatre (FCT) this past week when the community theatre’s exterior signs went up on the building. In keeping with the town whose motto is “Make haste slowly”, it took only a year and ten months from the official opening of the theatre to arrange the finances and the paperwork for the signage. Lack of prominent signs has been one of the facility’s shortcomings over the past two seasons, as new patrons searched for the space and often ended up well out of town. The search is not helped by the fact that Googlemaps places the Full Circle Theatre on the wrong side of the Tay River, insisting that it is on the east bank, rather than west of the river, by the town’s Old Burying Ground. The signs are going up just in time to welcome new tenants for the summer of 2013, as the Classic Theatre Festival, the Ottawa Valley’s professional summer theatre, move their base of operations into FCT, featuring two classic Broadway comedies which will run consecutively from July 12 through Sept. 1. In keeping with the nature of the Full Circle Theatre, which was created largely by volunteers on a reuse, re-cycle, re-purpose basis, the materials for the signs are the very same materials which comprised the old signs on the building, which for more than 25 years announced the presence of Charlie’s Car Wash at 26 Craig St. As the re-construction of the building progressed in 2010 and 2011, the signs were removed, repaired, restored and re-configured to read Full Circle Theatre. Like the vintage theatre seats from Perth’s 1915 Balderson Theatre which have been refurbished for the Full Circle, older is often better. The signs were one of the last major to-do items in the project, which began in 2009 and has seen a 65-year old car-wash remade into a 102-seat, ground-level, barrierfree theatre, offering both live entertainment and high-definition, wide-screen cinema events. From approximately 60 events in the theatre’s initial season of 2011/2012, 2012/2013 saw more than 100 performances and 2013/2014 is promising even more. New upgrades to the lighting system, coupled with 5.1 surround-sound audio, make FCT one of the most technically capable spaces in the area. An intimate, comfortable (air-conditioned) house, an attractive, bright lobby and extraordinary acoustics have made FCT a favourite with performers and audience alike. BarnDoor Productions, the resident company, will be back in the fall with their 19th season – one packed with some of the best Broadway plays of the last 20 years and more. Guest series including 2 Women Productions, the Perth Community Choir, Film Night International and Charles MacPhail Productions are also making FCT their home, along with single events and touring artists. If you haven’t been to the Full Circle Theatre yet, drop by for great entertainment and a uniquely inviting and warm atmosphere. Now, with very visible outdoor signage,

COMMENTARY Congratulations, grads! EMC Editorial – The halls of area schools now sit silent for the summer, awaiting the return of students in September. But not all will be returning. Last week marked graduation ceremonies at high schools across the Upper Canada District School Board and Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario. Years of work were celebrated with the granting of a single piece of paper; a diploma that gives youth the freedom to reach for their dreams. This feat is not to be taken lightly. It’s a major accomplishment in the step towards becoming an adult and entering the workforce. In fact, according to a recent release by the Ministry of Education, the high school graduation rate continues to climb. In 2012, 83 per cent of high school students received their diplomas, which marks a 15 per cent jump from 2003-04 when that rate stood at 68 per cent. That means 115,000 more students walked across their school’s stage to receive their hard-earned scroll. The ministry continues to inch closer to its 85 per cent graduation rate goal. It’s easy to forget the feeling of entering a high school in grade 9 and feeling intimidated by the entire experience. But it is the place where students truly mature and start to become the person they are destined to be. Over the course of the years, they have taken a variety of courses (some they’ve liked, others not so much) but that experience has led students to discover their true passions. They will now continue the next phase of their development in a post-secondary institution or wherever else their journey takes them. It’s also now time for other students to take their places as the positive leaders in their local schools, to show younger students the value of extra-curricular activities and becoming a part of a school they will spend so much time in.

Mary has her first foray into milking cows on the farm EMC Lifestyle – “I’m telling you, she’s too young,” Mother said. Father said he milked a cow the day he learned to walk! Mother said “that’s nonsense, and you know it.” Rarely did I have so much attention sent my way, and I was loving every minute of it. With four siblings, rarely was I singled out, but that day, I was getting my share. The subject was if I was old enough to milk. Once a calf got to the cow stage, I lost interest in her, and I had little desire to sit with my head on her belly and try to get milk into a pail. But Father said it was time I did my share like everyone else in the family. Needless to say I was never consulted as to how I felt about the issue. And so, on a Saturday it was, Father put a three-legged stool at the rear end of the quietest cow in the cow byre, put a pail under her, and without a word of instruction, told me to go ahead and milk! The old cow turned her head in my direction, and then back to chewing her cud. After watching my three brothers and sister do the milking often enough, I figured there wasn’t

much to it. Well, I pulled, and I tugged, and I spit on my hands, and kept saying “sooo Bossie.” Nothing worked. The brothers were real pros at the job. The barn cats lined up on the other side of the gutter, and every so often, a squirt of milk would be headed in their direction, and without fail, the milk went right into their opened mouths. And here was I who couldn’t even get a drop into the milk pail! My arms ached right up to my shoulders, and a couple times I almost fell off the three-legged stool. It was beyond me why the milk stool only had three legs in the first place! To add to my misery, it was fly season too. The poor old cow kept swishing her tail trying to rid herself of the hateful pests, and with each swish, I took the full brunt square in the face! Mother was right. I was too young for this job! But to convince Father was another matter. First of all, I didn’t like the cow byre. It was full of cobwebs, cows smelled differently from the horses. And I wouldn’t put it past any one of Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

Emerson, Everett and Earl were into the snickering, and I knew it wouldn’t be long before I was into the tears. It was my beloved sister Audrey who finally came to my rescue. She had finished milking her cows, the milk had been emptied into the cans, and she came over to where I was sitting hunched over, still tugging away with absolutely not a drop to show for my efforts! “Let me try,” she said, and I gladly surrendered the stool. The milk spewed out on the first try with Audrey!

cow! I thought I was doing exactly what my sister was doing, but it certainly wasn’t working for me, and I was convinced the cow didn’t like me any more than I liked her. Audrey tried her best to show me how to milk. Nothing worked. Finally, she went up to Father who was at the far end of the cow byre. “Mary’s hands are too small,” she said. “And the cow’s too big,” I offered. Father ran his hand over my head. Even though it wasn’t near my nose, I could smell cow off him, and milk, neither of which were my favourite odours. “Well, we’ll try again some other time,” he said. I was out of the barn before you could say ‘milk pail’. I ran to the house and told Mother I wanted to change my clothes. She knew exactly why. I bundled up what I had on in the barn, and brought the whole pile down to the summer kitchen to wait the Monday wash. I asked Mother for a pan of hot water and wash cloth and towel, which I hauled upstairs to the privacy of the bedroom. I washed every square inch of my body I could reach, but I thought I could still smell ADVERTISING SALES: ADVERTISING SALES CO-ORDINATOR Andrea Harding SALES: Cheryl Johnston, Sharon Sinfield, Kathy Perreault, Liz Gray, Kevin Hoover, Jamie Rae-Gomes Email: emcsales@perfprint.ca Fax: 613-283-9988 THE DEADLINE FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISING IS MONDAY 4:30 PM

the cow byre off my skin. I opened my sister Audrey’s drawer of the little washstand we shared, and took out her precious can of Lily of the Valley talcum powder, and slathered it on with abandon. Then I put on clean clothes from the inside out! When we sat down for supper, my try at milking was never mentioned. I figured the brothers had been warned not to bring up the subject. And I knew, without a doubt, my milking days were over...but only for the time being. Everyone had to pull her share back then. And I knew the time would come when I would be led back into the cow byre and made to stick at it until I could fill a milk pail like the brothers or my sister Audrey. Not a word was spoken all during supper about how I had failed at a job that everyone worth his or her salt would be expected to do growing up on a farm long before modern milking machines did the job for you. Even my sister Audrey, who guarded her belongings like a mother hen guarding her chicks, never said a word about how I smelled of Lily of the Valley. • Advertising rates and terms and conditions are according to the rate card in effect at time advertising published. • The advertiser agrees that the publisher shall not be liable for damages arising out of errors in advertisements beyond the amount charged for the space actually occupied by that portion of the advertisement in which the error occurred, whether such error is due to negligence of its servants or otherwise... and there shall be no liability for non-insertion of any advertisement beyond the amount charged for such advertisement. • The advertiser agrees that the copyright of all advertisements prepared by the Publisher be vested in the Publisher and that those advertisements cannot be reproduced without the permission of the Publisher. • The Publisher reserves the right to edit, revise or reject any advertisement.

Champions for Kids Foundation honours major donors at recent celebration EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Upper Canada District School Board Champions for Kids Foundation honoured its major donors Wednesday, June 26 at its 2013 Friends of the Foundation Celebration. The event is organized each year to recognize major donors to the foundation who give $500 to $10,000 to support its work. Businesses honoured at the event were: Wills Transfer, The Matilda Recreation Committee, LifeTouch Canada, PhotoVisions School Photography, Four-O-One Electric, the Ambassador Conference Resort, and David K. Thomas and Nancy Hanna. Champions president David K. Thomas, who along with his wife Nancy Hanna is a major donor to the charity, thanked those in attendance at the ceremony. Thomas told those gathered at the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brockville office for the event that their donations make a real difference in the lives of children in communities served by the board. He spoke of a family in Grenville County that was assisted by the foundation. The father, a successful businessman, was diagnosed with brain cancer and eventually passed away. The family was supported throughout the fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ordeal. The foundation provided gas cards to fund travel costs associated with his treatment, as well as restaurant gift cards so the family could enjoy meals together and have one less thing to worry about at the end of a treatment day.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The family is still struggling, but we showed them that this really, really big board could become very, very small and work to care for them and support them,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas. South Grenville District High School vice-principal Christie Reitsma told the

story of two children from a working class family who were helped by the foundation. The parents work hard, but cannot find the money to fund summer activities for their children. The foundation approached the family and offered to fund summer camp for both children.

The camp, seeing what a great child the daughter was, has offered to make her a junior leader this summer. The foundation was started in January 2008 to assist children from disadvantaged families to play sports and enjoy the arts. It also helps their fami-

lies cover costs associated with obtaining medical care â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as gas costs for travel to hospital and parking passes. Since its founding, the charity has raised $700,000 to help children in need. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.

EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The organic food and drink industry has expanded rapidly, experiencing an average growth of 20 per cent per year on a global scale. What motivates people to buy organic foods? Health, wholesomeness, and respect for the environment are sure to be found at the top of the list. An organic-certified food is produced without the use of any chemical products. The difference between organic and non-organic foods is the absence of all chemical pesticides, herbicides, and preservatives. Eating organic, like our ancestors did, is the only way to avoid the involuntary consumption of substances that are potentially hazardous to our health. Did you know that over time, the ingestion of many food industry chemical substances can lead to a weakening of the immune system and have harmful effects on the mental, cognitive, and physical development of children? In addition, numerous studies have shown that the current antibiotics resistance observed in humans is the direct result of the use of growth hormones and medications given to cattle and pigs raised for slaughter. This is just one of the reasons why organic food is increasingly popular among consumers. An organic product does not contain any more vitamins than a similar nonorganic product. A carrot is still a carrot, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organic or not. Choosing to buy organic is based solely on ecological and social reasons. Buying an organic carrot means knowing exactly what is on your plate. Also, buying locally produced organic foods means encouraging producers and reducing greenhouse gases produced by the transportation of food.

More than $4,500 raised at recent Champions for Kids Fun Run/Walk EMC News – More than $4,500 was raised at the Upper Canada District School Board’s (UCDSB) fifth annual Champions for Kids Foundation Fun Run/Walk called “Strive for Five!” held at the Ferguson Forest Centre in Kemptville on June 16. Despite the rain, an amazing 190+ participants laced up their sneakers, took to the trails and finished a one-kilometre or five-kilometre walk/run as individual participants or centipede teams. Centipede teams are groups of five to eight people who walk or run in costume and stay tied together in some unique way. “We are absolutely thrilled with the turnout of this year’s event,” says Sarah Crawford, event chair. “So many people brought their families and friends, and it was great to see their smiles throughout the morning.” Each year, prizes are awarded to the participant who raises the most money in pledges, has the best costume (for centipede teams), shows the best spirit, and is the youngest and most experienced. This year, the participants who raised the most pledges were UCDSB building systems specialist Kevin Riddell and

UCDSB human resources partner Jennifer McDonald. “We really enjoy this event, and working with all the awesome people involved,” says Riddell. “It was also a special day for my little running buddy Alexa Powers. She’s nine-years-old, and completed her first five-kilometre run! Plus, she did it in 28.58! To see a big smile on her face as we splashed along, well, that made it extra special for me, too.” The best costume for the one-kilometre run was the Glen Tay Parent Council centipede team, sponsored by TD Canada Trust and the best five-kilometre run centipede team costume went to the UCDSB Service Excellence team called, “Service with a Smile.” The Spirit Award went to the group of runners representing Brockville Collegiate Institute (BCI) including a centipede team, sponsored by TD Canada Trust. The “most experienced” title went to Merv Hodgson, while a number of youngsters were recognized for their participation with a free cone coupon from Dairy Queen in Brockville. In addition, UCDSB staff members were encouraged to enter school or de-

partment teams ahead of time, and they would be entered in a draw to win a free lunch. The group representing Caldwell Street Public School – all the way from Carleton Place – won the lunch. As in previous years, this event partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville which hosted Ribfest at the same location. “Both events have one common goal in mind – to support children in our communities,” Crawford says. The $4,500 raised will go to the foundation that supports families of children who can’t afford to play sports or enjoy the arts outside of school hours, as well as families whose children require medical care.

“In the past four years, we have contributed over $10,000 to Champions for Kids,” says Crawford. “It is truly rewarding to know that the money raised goes right back into the hands of families who see the benefits immediately.” Crawford would like to thank a number of sponsors and contributors of the event, especially the TD Canada Trust locations in Kemptville and the Brockville Shopping Centre for their ongoing support. For the last three years, TD has sponsored student centipede teams from schools in their local area. New this year, branch managers from Perth, Prescott and downtown Brockville joined in to sponsor teams from Glen Tay Public School, South Gren-

ville District High School, and BCI. Crawford would also like to thank accountant Anthony Fritz for sponsoring a Lyn Public School team, Team Solutions for sponsoring a team from Big Brothers Big Sisters, St. Lawrence College for sponsoring two teams to participate, and Walmart for sponsoring a student team from Kemptville Public School for the third year in a row. Special thanks also go to Priority Management, Promotional Concepts in Brockville, Boston Pizza in Brockville, Tim Hortons in Kemptville, St. Lawrence Pools in Brockville, and the North Grenville District High School African drumming group for their donations of resources and time.

Covered bridge hunt is a great summer getaway

Call:

Reflections BY JEFF MAGUIRE

was that experience in Hartland that got me started on what has become a lifelong journey of discovery. In eastern Ontario there are covered bridges near Kemptville and Brockville and in west Quebec there is the famous Wakefield bridge (circa 1915) which was rebuilt following a total loss fire in 1984. Important structures Something else of interest about covered bridges: They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t built to be quaint and picturesque which is how most of us think of them today. Originally they were covered to preserve and protect the wood. But in the 19th century and early in the 20th Century they served as gath-

of the longest covered bridges in the region. It was a perfect summer day when we stopped at Mount Orne. Traffic was light and we were able to easily walk back and forth across the bridge and take photos from a farm trail which runs alongside the wide Connecticut River. The beautiful river is the longest and largest in New England. It runs for 655 kilometres (407 miles) from its source in northern NH before emptying into Long Island Sound on the Atlantic Ocean. It was noon when we headed into nearby Lancaster. There we made a stop at the Mechanic Street Bridge which is right in the middle of the community and easy to locate. Originally constructed in 1862 it was rebuilt in 2006 and is in sparkling condition. The bridge spans the Israels River and is 28.6 metres (94 feet) long. In Lancaster we purchased a few items at a shopping mall taking ad-

ering places for rallies, meetings, weddings and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play in an era before there were many public buildings. Of course their main purpose was and is to carry roads across rivers and streams. There were once many more covered bridges in Canada and the US I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a figure for Canada. But in the States there was once more than 10,000 such structures in regular use. Today there are just 750 still in service south of the border. As I have mentioned more than 100 are in Vermont while neighbouring New Hampshire (NH) claims 54. Those numbers are slightly off because in at least two cases both states lay claim to the same bridges. Understandable considering the structures in question cross the Connecticut River, linking Vermont and New Hampshire. We visited one of them on this trip. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mount Orne Bridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is located five miles west of the town of Lancaster, NH. Built in 1911 it is almost entirely within NH and at 81 metres (266 feet) in length it is one

halls and libraries, along with some truly spectacular historic homes. We normally take these trips in the spring and fall. This time we enjoyed a summer vacation. Given all of the rain we have had in eastern North America this year everything was lush and green. In some places agricultural crops (notably corn) are suffering due to the deluge. On the other hand flower gardens were thriving everywhere we went and in Vermont the picturesque Green Mountains have never looked greener. Before going into detail about our excursion I want to offer this qualification with respect to covered bridges. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go to the US to find them. There are lots right here in Canada, mainly in New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. New Brunswick has 64 still standing and the bridge at Hartland, which spans the St. John River, bills itself as the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest covered bridge. At 391 metres (1,283 feet) it is a monster. I crossed it in the company of my parents as a child. I believe it

EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; People who read this column regularly know about my interest in covered bridges. I have offered details a few times over the years. I have been pleased to receive many emails from newspaper readers who are intrigued by the same subject, including a number of people who are also among those I refer to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;covered bridge junkies.â&#x20AC;? Most gratifying of all are the messages from people who say they have followed my advice in previous columns and now semi-regularly embark on their own covered bridge hunts. One of those who became intrigued about covered bridges after reading one of my pieces is wellknown Ottawa radio talk show host Lowell Green. We have corresponded on the subject. In recent years our friends and regular travel companions Frank and Wendy LeBlanc have also been hooked. We visit Vermont together once or twice a year. Because the small state has the most covered bridges per square mile in the United States (at last report there were 104 such structures still in use there) it is an ideal location for finding and adding bridges to your life lists. Our lists are growing exponentially and so is our hunting ground. Two weeks ago the Maguires and LeBlancs spent five days criss-crossing parts of three states. We visited bridges in New York State, Vermont and New Hampshire. The great thing about a covered bridge expedition is that in the process you find so many other interesting places and things along the way. This trip was no exception. In Vermont and New Hampshire we passed through so many picturesque New England towns and villages that we eventually lost count. All of them had wonderful old churches, town

A positive approach to having kids in the kitchen Nutrition Tips

EMC Lifestyle – Do your kids want to help out in the kitchen? Wait! Before you panic and say “no way” or “too much mess”, think about this: having kids help you in the kitchen, even the young ones, can be both productive and teach them valuable food skills that set the pattern for healthy eating. When children are involved in the food preparation, they are more likely to eat the foods they helped prepared. From toddler to schoolage, kids can learn a lot about food right at home.

Tasks for toddlers: two to three-years-old These little guys love to help in the kitchen. Even exploring food through their senses is a food “skill” that helps them to learn about what food is and what it can do. Some things to try with your toddler: • Wash fruits or vegetables in the sink and learn the names of the foods being washed. • Add items that are already chopped to the casserole or sauce.

• Help find certain ingredients in the pantry or fridge. • Put paper cups in muffin tins. • Let them play with a wooden spoon and empty pot. • Talk about the colour or smell of the food being prepared. Preschoolers play a part: three to six-years-old Food related activities at this age can help their fine motor skills and wake-up their interest in food and how it comes together to make a meal. Let your preschooler help you with: • Remove shells from hard-boiled eggs. • Pour from a measuring cup. • Take a certain number of carrots from the bag. • Mash cooked vegetables. • Assemble foods (e.g., make their own trail mix). • Stir ingredients together.

Helping in the kitchen can teach kids lessons that go beyond the classroom! For more information about this issue, contact Eatand learn how to use some Right Ontario at 1-877-510small kitchen equipment. 5102 to speak directly to a Older children can learn to: Make tortilla wraps with different fillings. • Toss salad ingredients together with dressing. • Pick ingredients for a smoothie. • Pick out recipes from a cookbook. 2007 Chev • Put together simple meals and snacks (e.g., yogurt + Malibu 2LT fruit, cereal + milk, peanut loaded, 92km red butter + bread).

Getting your kids involved in the kitchen is a good way to pass on family traditions and spend time together. It can also help reinforce what they are learning in school in a very tangible way. There’s no better math lesson than counting and measuring baking ingredients. How can science be more fun than making a food “experiment” and seeing what happens when the recipe is cooked? Social studies starts with Steps for school-age: six to learning where and how food eight-years-old is grown and the importance This is a great age for kids of eating food that comes to try to follow simple recipes from our local area.

vantage of the fact NH has no sales tax. It was lunch hour and we were directed to the Moonbeam CafĂŠ on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main street where we enjoyed the most generous portions of New England clam chowder we have ever been served. It was wonderful! Staff members told us if we had visited Lancaster a day earlier we would have missed the opportunity to try their world class chowder. The restaurant was closed for the day so all the staff could cheer the owners as they accepted the 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hidden Gemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plaque at the Best of New Hampshire Awards in Manchester. Based on our experience, no surprise there. Leaving Lancaster we headed south to the village of Bath, NH which has three covered bridges. The one in the middle of the community is closed for renovations and, covered in plastic, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very photogenic. The surprise in Bath was that we were able to visit the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Brick Storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which, it turned out, is Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest continuously operated general store. Talk about a hidden gem! The store was literally bursting with intriguing items and ambience. Back in our base of Stowe, Vermont we spent two more days touring the district.

We added nine more bridges to our lists. The enjoyable part of a covered bridge excursion is the chase itself. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use GPS to locate covered bridges which are often a challenge to find along the winding maze of back roads where so many are located. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no â&#x20AC;&#x153;sportâ&#x20AC;? in employing GPS! Instead we rely on paper maps which are less than specific in most cases. Lately we have turned to some of the many books on the subject for directions. If you intend to scope out Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bridges I recommend â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Covered Bridges of Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; by Ed Barna which is the best book (in terms of directions) we have found. Obviously I recommend the experience as a great option for a summer vacation. But even if covered bridges donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn you on, getting there is half the fun. In the mountainous regions of New England, where many bridges are located, the scenery is so spectacular it sometimes makes you forget what the purpose of your journey was. No matter where your travels take you this summer, enjoy yourselves! If you have any comments or questions for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com.

Help RVCA track algae blooms and excessive aquatic vegetation EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; What is that green slime in front of your dock? Are you noticing algae blooms and an increased growth of aquatic plants on your water body? The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) wants to hear about it! The RVCA has created a survey for lake and river users that asks questions about algae and aquatic plants on their water body. This survey is being conducted in response to an increasing number of concerns about algae and aquatic plants in recent years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been hearing that there are a lot more blooms and

plants out there, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily match what we are seeing and learning through our water quality sampling,â&#x20AC;? says Mike Yee, RVCA manager of biology and water quality. Algae and aquatic plants play an important ecological role in lakes and rivers and they should be present in your water body. They are the first, vital links in a natural food chain that all other water creatures rely on including insects, frogs, minnows, small fish right up to top predators like bass, muskie and lake trout. Under normal circumstances, they also produce large amounts of oxygen helping to keep the water qual-

ity in a healthy state. So they are very important. But too much of a good thing can be very bad! During warm weather, populations of algae and aquatic vegetation can grow quickly to form large masses. As the mass grows and expands, algae and plants at the lower levels die off and decompose over large areas. This process uses up much of the oxygen in the water and degrades the entire aquatic ecosystem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve noticed changes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or not â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we want to hear from you,â&#x20AC;? says Yee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to get a better idea of areas we can target and focus our energy

LAMING, Dwayne- In loving memory of my dear son who was taken tragically July 4th, 2010. I only have a picture now, A frozen piece of time, To remind me of how it was, When you were here, and mine. How much I miss you being here, I really can not say, The ache is deep inside my heart, And never goes away. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye, You were gone before I knew it, And only God knows why. Always loved and never forgotten, Dan and Fran xoxo LAMING, Dwayne- In loving memory of our dear brother/uncle who was taken tragically on July 4th, 2010. We miss you now, our hearts are sore, As time goes by we miss you more, Your loving smile, your gentle face, No one can fill your vacant place. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have old days back When we were all together. But secret tears and loving thoughts will be with us forever. Always in our thoughts Dwayne xoxo Sherry, Angel, Adam and families.

IN MEMORIAM

“WE REMEMBER” Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book.

also our way of saying “thank you” to the many families who have shown conﬁdence in us since we came to Almonte in 1973. Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying…“We Remember”.

IN MEMORIAM

McPARLAND, Cory – Taken to soon from us on July 8, 1995 by a drunk driver. 18 years have gone, The sadness we feel still hangs on. To lose someone so young isn’t fair, We have memories we want to share. Your nephews Brett and Kale are getting big, You guys would play in the sand box; Build roads and dig. A very proud uncle you would be, To watch them grow with you and me. Don’t worry, they’re watching up above, So they can have all of your love. Missing you everyday Love, Mom and Dad (Ann and Keith) Kim (Jay and Brett) Sarah (Kale) XO

STAPLES David R. July 10, 1947 July 8, 2003

DWAYNE D. LAMING July 4, 2010 My love, beside your grave I often stand, With heart both crushed and sore, Silent til the sweet words come, “Not lost, but gone before”. God knows how much I miss you, He counts the tears I shed. And whispers, “He only sleeps, Your loved one is not dead”. So I’ll be brave, Dwayne, And pray to God each day, So when He calls me home to you, Your smile will guide the way. You were the love of my life and taken far too soon “Thanks for the DANCE” Kathy

IN MEMORIAM In fond and loving memory of our dear Father and Poppy Gone dear father, gone forever, How we miss your smiling face But you left us to remember, None on earth can take your place. A happy home we once enjoyed, How sweet the memory still, But death has left a loneliness The world can never fill. Just when your life was brightest, Just when your years were best, You left this world of sorrow, To a home of eternal rest.

ADAMS – In loving memory of a dear brother Brett Adams, July 8, 2012. Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed, and very dear. Gone but not forgotten Love Herb and Lisa

ADAMS – In loving memory of Brett Philip Adams who passed away July 8, 2012. We thought of you with love today but that is nothing new We thought about you yesterday and days before that too We think of you in silence, we often speak your name but All we have are memories and your pictures in a frame Your memory is our keepsake with which we’ll never part God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts. Love Glenda Brittany, Jeff Jonathan and Aundrea

SONNENBURG Tyler Brent Robert “Ty” May 17, 1985 – July 2, 2002 In our home there is a picture, Of your face more precious than gold. And to those who loved and lost you, Your memory will never grow old. Today we look at your picture, At your face so loving and true, No wonder our hearts are breaking “Ty” Losing a son and brother like you. But each day you walk beside us, And when our lives are through, We pray that God will take our hands, And lead us straight to you. You’ll always be loved and remembered And greatly missed “Ty”. Love always and forever, Mom, Dad and your brother Trav xxoo

Quick-thinking neighbour in Carleton Place hailed as hero â&#x20AC;&#x153;I walked down the hallway, turned on the light and opened the front door,â&#x20AC;? she said. Thick, black smoke billowed inside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I slammed the door shut,â&#x20AC;? said Walsh, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and realized I had to get out.â&#x20AC;? Unable to escape from the front, she exited out the back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only because you woke me up,â&#x20AC;? said Walsh fighting back tears and holding Guestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You saved my life. Thank you!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to thank me,â&#x20AC;? said Guest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am just thankful that I was able to wake up and be there (for you).

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary. A Carleton Place womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick thinking and brave actions saved the life of neighbour Shirley Walsh after arsonists targeted her home. Haleigh Guest was honoured for her bravery and lifesaving efforts at the municipal council meeting last Tuesday night, June 25. Moreover, she was reunited with Walsh who publicly thanked her. Just before 3 a.m. on April 5 the Ocean Wave Fire Company (OWFC) was dispatched to what was reported as a shed fire on Princess Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we arrived on scene it became obvious pretty quickly that we had more than that,â&#x20AC;? said fire chief Les Reynolds. In addition to the burning shed, a home around the corner at 107 Lisgar St. was on fire. The adjacent garage at 42 Princess St. was ablaze as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also learned three other small fires had been set that night in that end of town,â&#x20AC;? said Reynolds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burning themselves out, they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t discovered until morning.â&#x20AC;? In May Lanark County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) arrested two men, ages 19 and 20, in connection with the fires. From Carleton Place and Ottawa, each has been charged with one count of arson with disregard for human life, five counts of arson causing damage to property, two counts of mischief under $5,000 and one count of failing to comply

Walsh thanked the town and fire department for providing support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody helped me, offering so many different things,â&#x20AC;? she said. Guest received a standing ovation. She could be nominated for a medal of bravery, said LeBlanc. Decorations for Bravery recognize people who risked their lives to try to save or protect another. The Decorations were created by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1972. The governor general personally presents the Decorations in ceremonies held at Rideau Hall.

Neighbours Haleigh Guest and Shirley Walsh had an emotional reunion at last Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting in Carleton Place. Guest was honoured for her quick thinking and brave actions that saved Walsh after arsonists targeted her home. with an undertaking. Hero among us â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we arrived at the house on Lisgar St. we were assured the resident was outside and safe,â&#x20AC;? said Reynolds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and the reason Mrs. Walsh was outside and safe was because of Haleigh Guest.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haleigh woke and saw the flames from the shed fire,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going outside to investigate, she discovered the house on Lisgar St. burning.â&#x20AC;?

Unable to reach the front door because of the spreading flames, Guest began frantically banging on the windows, eventually alerting Walsh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haleigh saved her life!â&#x20AC;? said Reynolds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is absolutely no doubt in my mind, and there was no doubt in the mind of the investigator from the Office of the Ontario Fire Marshal.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very, very scary, and it all happened so quickly,â&#x20AC;? said Guest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My fiancĂŠ

and I trusted our instincts. We did what we had to do.â&#x20AC;? She is just happy and thankful everybody is safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Haleigh, I really have no doubt that you saved my life,â&#x20AC;? said an emotional Walsh, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I just feel so blessed to be here right now.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was turning over (in bed), I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to get up,â&#x20AC;? she explained. Luckily, the persistent banging and yelling by Guest and her fiancĂŠ caused Walsh to wake.

stimulating the local economy; job creation; better customer service; greater support to local non-profit organizations; unique businesses; business owners invest in their communities; reduced environmental impact; competition leads to more choices for shoppers; public benefits outweigh public costs; as well as the values of customers matter more to local businesses. “...We ultimately want shoppers in Carleton Place to think local and buy local so we invite you and all businesses in town to think customer experience, because you know what? Research shows that very, very few consumers buy local just because it’s local,” Lamb stated. “All things being equal in quality and everything else, they will buy local, but if the service or quality is sub par, then guess what? Buy local doesn’t have any legs.” She provided the example of the Beckwith Butcher, which donates 20-cents from the sale of each kebob to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and presented $4,500 to the hospital this year. “Let’s think customer experience. We’re fortunate if people come through our doors,” Lamb stated. In addition to the branding exercise, other elements of the campaign include promotional materials such as flyers and bookmarks, posters, coverage in local media, as well as shopping bags and Tshirts, that will feature that identifiable logo. Another aspect is the creation of Carleton Place BLT (Buy Local Team) trading cards, highlighting the services of businesses which could be distributed to customers.

“...(The campaign) is not just about buying local, but showcasing businesses so people are aware of what we’re offering,” she said. To strengthen that point, Lamb indicated another part of the initiative is individual business/businessperson profiles. “Profiles are one of our most important connections,” she said, adding the first one, on the Studio Boutique, is ready to roll out in the near future. “They (profiles) will include a photo because this is a small-town and I need to know who I’m looking for. With these little biographies about your business, hopefully people will get a sense of the personality of the business and what’s special.” Lamb said that perhaps the most important feature of the buy local campaign is business participation. “The success of this, like any other community effort, is the involvement of businesses,” she remarked. “...This (buy local) rationale is being used in small communities across Canada and North America and the reason for that is that it works,” Lamb continued. “So, we’re really excited about it.” The Carleton Place Business Improvement Area (BIA) manager Cathie McOrmond was in attendance for the launch and noted the BIA fully supports the Chamber’s efforts. In the coming months, Lamb said the Chamber will be rolling out different features of the buy local campaign, including a possible workshop. Information will be included on the initiative in Carleton Place water bills this October, but before then, other promotional materials will be released. “Stay tuned for more details and how to get involved,” she concluded.

Mills Community Support focused on putting the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;CDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; back in ACDC in 2012 By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the past year Mills Community Support has been focusing on â&#x20AC;&#x153;putting the CD back in ACDC.â&#x20AC;? No, they are not an organization lobbying to bring the famous rock group to Almonte; in this case ACDC stands for Almonte Community Development Corporation, which is how Mills Community Support started out. At their annual general meeting June 26, Mills Community Support, an organization that promotes and actively engages as a partner in the development of a healthy community, outlined the past yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successes and strategies and talked about the year to come. Mills Community Support is a not-for-profit community partner that creates stability and belonging for people by providing services for people with intellectual disabilities and seniors and by undertaking community development initiatives. Chief executive officer Mike Coxon said that while the organization will continue to provide the services they have in the past, Mills Community Support is heading back towards its roots as a community development corporation by engaging community members

to become more active and use their skills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our vision is of a community where all peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gifts are appreciated and everyone belongs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are better together.â&#x20AC;? During their 2012/13 year, the organization supported more than 600 people through their Home Support Services initiative; supplied more than 134 affordable housing units and provided 54,732 services by staff and more than 220 volunteers. Two awards were presented during the meeting to people who had made a significant impact on building the community: the Community Builder Award and an award for the Carleton Place Home Depot. Gordon MacNabb, a member

of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board, was the first-ever recipient of the Community Builder Award, for his outstanding work on bettering the community. Mills Community Support also recognized the Carleton Place Home Depot for its donations. Dennis Beuerman, the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant manager, accepted the award and spoke about their fundraising programs. He said that the store had sold 750 paper hammers to date at $2 each for the Buy a Hammer, Build a Community project. The funds raised through this project were matched and donated to Mills Community Support. The theme for next year, said Coxon, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcoming Communities.â&#x20AC;? The organization will work to create more welcom-

Guest speaker Bruce Anderson also spoke about community development, using peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gifts and welcoming communities during his lively speech. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do we include all people?â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How to we do

with, rather than for?â&#x20AC;? Those are the questions that Mills Community Support will be focusing on over the next year while they concentrate on their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcoming Communitiesâ&#x20AC;? theme.

Local man receives Ontario Senior of the Year Award EMC News – Carleton Place resident Barry Desarmia has been awarded the Ontario Senior of the Year Award from the Ministry of Citizenship and Immigration. The Ontario Senior of the Year Award gives each municipality in the province the occasion to honour one of its residents who, after the age of 65, has enriched the social, cultural or civic life of his or her community. Desarmia received his certificate during the town’s council meeting on June 25. June was Seniors’ Month in the province. Seniors who qualify for the award contribute in many different fields, such as the arts, literature, community service, voluntarism, education, fitness and sport or humanitarian activities. “(It’s) well, well deserved,” said mayor Wendy LeBlanc. Desarmia is a member of the Knights of Columbus and served on the parish council at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. He volunteers with the Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum and is a driver for Meals on Wheels and the La-

In addition to the live music there will be various workshops including mandolin and harp lessons as well as a storytelling workshop by Heather Dale at the Almonte branch of the Mississippi Mills Public Library. A kids’ area will be set up to keep the little ones entertained all day with games and activities. There will also be a covered, shady seniors area set up at the top of the hill behind the arena where visitors can relax and listen to the music without

Patty Guimond, community relations manager at Waterside Retirement Community in Carleton Place, asked LeBlanc to forward Desarmia’s name to Toronto. Desarmia was named the municipality’s Senior of the Year for 2012, selected during a banquet at the Carleton Place Curling on Oct. 1, National Seniors Day. “To be nominated is an honour, and to win is a bonus,” he said at the time. Fellow contenders were Edwina Eddy and Doug Smith. Waterside Retirement Community, in conjunction with the municipality, established the Carleton Place Senior of the Year award in 2011, to recognize the varied and valuable contributions of seniors to the community. “Congratulations, Barry,” said LeBlanc last Tuesday. “What wonderful work you do for our community.” Humbled, Desarmia thanked the mayor and council for putting his name forward for the Ontario Senior of the Year Award.

Still time to get your tickets for Saturday’s benefit dance to help local youth By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – There’s still time to get tickets for Saturday’s (July 6) benefit dance for Carleton Place teenager Clayton MacCallum. MacCallum, 15, suffers from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Hosted by People First of Lanark County (PFoLC), the dance runs from 7 to 11 p.m. at the local Army Navy & Air Force Club. Admission is $10 per person. “We still have approximately 50 tickets left,” said Kory Earle, event coorganizer. Earle is the former leader of PFoLC.

He is working alongside Diane Sexsmith, the organization’s executive director. “Diane and I really encourage people to come out and support this amazing family,” said Earle. “No one should ever have to face what Clayton is dealing with – CPRS.” Information supplied to the Canadian Gazette by PFoLC stated: “CPRS is a chronic pain condition most often affecting one of the limbs (arms, legs, hands or feet), usually after an injury or trauma to that limb. CRPS is believed to be caused by damage to, or malfunction of, the peripheral and central nervous systems. The central nervous system is composed of the brain and spinal cord,

and the peripheral nervous system involves nerve signaling from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. CRPS is characterized by prolonged or excessive pain and mild or dramatic changes in skin color, temperature, and/ or swelling in the affected area.” “All money raised from the dance goes directly to Clayton and his family to help with medical costs,” said Earle. “These costs can fluctuate anywhere from $300 to $500 per month,” said Sexsmith. Festivities include live, local musical entertainment, door prizes, silent auction and food and drink. Tickets are available at the door or in advance at the PFoLC office, located at

Phil Hogan, the town’s treasurer, noted in blending the two loans “we are using the current prime rate of three per cent, which is a decrease from the previous agreement from 2005 that used the rate of 4.5 per cent.” “The municipality will allow additional payment to be made on the loan to reduce the term,” he said. “We are in fact subsidizing the BIA for Market Square,” said deputy mayor Ed Sonnenburg. “Yes, we are advancing the monies,” said Hogan. “We had thought we were getting more money from the BIA than we are getting,” said the deputy mayor.

EMC News – Most people refinance to lower their monthly mortgage payments. The Carleton Place Business Improvement Association (BIA) is no different. The BIA currently has a debt with the municipality for the Main Street Project (MSP). The work was done in 2005. The MSP resulted in the purchase of decorative lighting and benches, sidewalk repairs, grates installed around trees, attractive welcome signs put in at each entrance to town, and more. The provincial government covered 50 per cent of the MSP costs and the town and BIA each contributed 25 per cent. The BIA borrowed its share from the municipality, and under an agreement, the business organization would pay $20,000 every

year for 20 years to the town to cover its portion. At last week’s corporate services committee meeting in Carleton Place, June 18, council accepted a new debt repayment schedule that blends the final monies owing on the MSP with the Market Square Roof Project (MSRP) loan. The work on the MSRP, being done by Renwick and Associates, is nearing completion. The BIA is contributing 50 per cent up to a maximum of $75,000 to the net cost of the MRSP – construction of a roof over the concrete slab at the Market Square Pavilion, which will make the area usable for a variety of functions, and the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market. Once more, the municipality is fronting the BIA the funds. The new schedule extends payments out to 2025, allowing a reduced an-

Fifteen minute walk in Almonte reveals sightings of 12 bird species EMC Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A nice email from Mary and Howard Robinson on June 23 describes their paddle on Clayton Lake. They spotted two Bald Eagles, one an adult, perched at the top of a tree, while a four-year-old juvenile fed by the shore. Later that day, they observed five Eastern Kingbirds and a male Scarlet Tanager along their driveway. They hope the tanager stays to nest. Randy Marinelli called to report that he had seen two young and one adult Osprey on the nest in the recreation area on Beckwith Township Concession 9 on June 24. Two to three days prior to this, he saw a Grasshopper Sparrow on a shrub, near the roadside, about 10 feet away. The sparrow was also seen in Beckwith Township, near the 8th Concession. Three days earlier he found a Winter Wren reference in an article. This article stated that the song on this little passerine, in proportion to its size and weight,

is 10 times louder than a crowing rooster! Wow! I love to hear it sing in our front forest area. In mid-May, I received a request to identify a bird that Sandra Dedrick had taken. She lives with her family on Mississippi Lake. Pied-billed Grebes nest in the area, but the bird needing identification was a Solitary Sandpiper. It is generally seen on its own, and is fairly common in shallow waters, rain puddles, and backwaters. It is an inch taller than our more common Spotted Sandpiper. During a walk June 25 from my church parking lot, St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Anglican Church, to Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lookout, on south Martin St. and back, I heard or saw 12 species of birds in 15 minutes. While writing my sightings down as I sat in my car, I heard both Redeyed Vireo and Great Crested Flycatcher. Best of all, two Northern Cardinals were heard singing as I walked. Amazingly, no ducks, geese or gulls were seen on the Mississippi River. Later, I had to search diligently for a Rock Pigeon. Please call Lynda Bennett at 613-256-5013 or email bennett@magma.ca with your bird reports.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Almonte is the friendly town. It is known for its pleasant nature and warm atmosphere, but is it welcoming? Bruce Anderson of Community Activators, an organization that works to help communities and businesses innovate, says that while a community may be friendly, it can always be working to be more welcoming. Anderson gave a series of seminars in the area recently, including one in Mississippi Mills on June 27. The workshop was all about creating welcoming communities. According to Anderson, there is a difference between the concept of inclusiveness and the concept of welcoming: inclusiveness implies that there is a similarity between the members of a group, while welcoming is more about embracing uniqueness and involving all people, regardless of who they are. It is this theory of welcoming that Anderson says is important for communities to embrace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a heavy emphasis on belonging in a welcoming community,â&#x20AC;? he said. The definition of welcoming, he said, is this: Welcoming is an action driven by commitment to kindness, fairness, creativity and the utilization of gifts. Anderson emphasized that everyone has a gift they can give to their community, and that there is a resurgence, currently, in the idea of a gift economy. A gift economy is one where everyone gives their gifts and receives the gifts of others and they were used long before capitalism came to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But why have a welcoming community?â&#x20AC;? asked Anderson. People, he said, will engage more in their community and be more willing to give

their time if they feel a sense of belonging. Anderson said there are four benefits to having a whole community welcoming model. The first is the idea that everyone wants to belong, and therefore a welcoming community is a natural flow. The second is that such a model will help to reach a larger audience to support different causes in the community. This, in turn, will create the third benefit, which is that more resources will be available to everyone. Finally, the fourth benefit is that the model increases confidence in problem solving. He said the idea of a welcoming community, in a nutshell, is to have everyone working in harmony and utilizing their natural strengths to benefit the community as a whole. During the workshop, Anderson had the audience do an exercise with a partner to find their gifts. Then he had them brainstorm welcoming ideas that utilized those gifts. Some of the ideas that came out of that session, included: hosting sewing classes for young people to connect with the older generations; movie nights for both kids and adults; community potlucks; wine and cheese nights held at different businesses each month; and cooking classes for the community. Participants then had the opportunity to provide their contact information to the idea creators so they could get the ball rolling on concepts for the future.

EDITORIAL

The show goes on in Calgary EMC Editorial – Even after it rains, you can usually count on a rainbow. That’s what appears to be happening in Calgary, where one of the brightest hues of the ‘bow appears to be their mayor, Naheed Nenshi. Here is a man who didn’t sleep for 43 hours straight as floodwaters laid waste to his city’s downtown core. Here is a man who only resumed wearing a business suit on Tuesday – wearing a jersey on Canada Day. Even God rested on the seventh day, so Nenshi’s words to fellow Calgarians to “take a break,” according to the Calgary Sun, on Canada Day were necessary for a city full of frazzled nerves and stressed out people, to recoup and regroup, and pick up refreshed the next day. There were, admittedly, other Canadians, who were frankly surprised that Calgary even had Canada Day celebrations on July 1. But that cowboy, frontier spirit – mixed with the

best of the human spirit overall – is something that even flood waters cannot stop. Even with extensive water damage, just as many Canadians, if not more, were floored that the Calgary Stampede – albeit a scaled down one – will go ahead this weekend. We could say that Calgary is back, but to this, Nenshi told CBC News Network on Monday that that would suggest that Calgary ever went away – which, in his eyes, it didn’t. Others may wear “Keep Calm and Carry On,” t-shirts, but Calgarians are living it. Nenshi’s shining example is just what we needed, especially in the wake of the resignation of Montreal’s second mayor in under a year, the arrest of Laval, Quebec’s mayor on gangsterism charges, and the hallucination-like allegations swirling around Toronto’s mayor. Nenshi follows in the example of other “everywhere Mayors” like New York’s Fiorello LaGuardia, the little flower, who zipped around town in a police motorcycle sidecar, or later

Gotham Mayor Rudy Giuliani during the 9/11 crisis, or even Newark, New Jersey’s mayor Corey Booker, who helped his city shovel out after a snow storm. Not for nothing are Calgarians super-imposing Nenshi’s face over that of Superman in posters, at bus shelters and elsewhere, for the new Man of Steel movie. And it was refreshing to see that while, on the one hand, he urged people to hug an emergency responder, on the other hand he railed against gawkers and ‘yahoos’ in canoes on the city’s swollen rivers. You can’t fight city hall, but when it works, it works – in spite of interfering bureaucrats, who showed us the worst examples of not only taking your eye off of the ball, but re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic as the boat sank. Some members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police need to give their heads a

shake after taking guns from people’s homes. They called it a safety issue – well who, after a mandatory evacuation notice, is going to be around to steal them? Then there were the public health officials who, apparently, had nothing better to do than swoop down on the Purple Perk and Original Joe’s restaurants, closing the facilities who were providing free coffee and food to first responders. Their crime? Insufficient lighting – at a time when there were blackouts throughout the city. Natural disasters can bring out both the best and the worst in people. We’ve seen bureaucrats leading with their heads instead of their hearts, their rigid ideology instead of common sense. Let’s try and follow the example of our fellow Canadians in Calgary, and their tweetloving mayor.

Local youth take world by storm EMC Editorial – Last Wednesday I had the opportunity to attend the graduation ceremony for Notre Dame Catholic High School’s (NDCHS) Class of 2013. Needless to say, I was incredibly impressed, and it got me thinking about Generation Y. The Town of Carleton is blessed with many young people who are excelling in numerous areas of endeavour and also giving back to their hometown and beyond. Seven students from NDCHS recently travelled to the Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos Orphanage in San Andres, Guatemala, taking part in a humanitarian mission. For 10 days (March 9 to 19) they worked in the gardens and kitchen, taught English, helped with construction projects, worked with special needs children, and played and had fun with the youngsters. Before leaving, trip participant Jeff Gourgon – NDCHS’ valedictorian on June 26 – said: “We are not going to fix the brokenness of the county in only 10 days, but what each of us can do is inspire the life of one person by showing them they belong and have the ability to attain their gifts and become the best version of themselves. This chain reaction is enough to make serious change – and it starts with just one person.” Last week 127 diplomas were handed out. From the sounds of it, recipients will go on and continue to do some amazing things. And let’s not forget Carleton Place High School’s newest graduate, Jordan McIntosh who is on his way to becoming the next Justin Bieber of country music. The 17 year-old Carleton Place resident just released his latest single to country radio, Grew Up in a Country Song on June 10. It follows other hits: Walk Away and Let Me Love You.

The musician filmed a music video for Grew Up in a Country Song last month, Tara Firma and has also been busy filming a holiday movie in British Columbia for Country Music Television (CMT). It is called ‘Home for Christmas’. In April he was signed to Invictus Entertainment Group. In January, local resident and NDCHS student, Haven Lamothe was crowned Miss Teen Lanark County - World 2013 in Toronto. This month (July 13-20) the 14-year-old fights for the title of Miss Teen Canada – World 2013. Again, the competition takes place in the province’s capital city. Since winning her crown, Lamothe has been participating in many Lanark County events, including the winter carnival and Lambs Down Park Festival in Carleton Place, a strawberry social in Mississippi Mills and the annual Relay for Life event in Almonte. What’s more, she is actively raising funds for the national charity she is supporting leading up to the countrywide competition. Free The Children works with youth in Africa, Asia and Latin America to provide access to education and develop skills to lift them out of poverty for good. Another local, Brody Rawding, 18, headed over to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) – to Abu Dhabi – to take part in the world championships for jiu jitsu. The Abu Dhabi Pro Jiu Jitsu Championship (April 10 to 13), attracts world attention. Athletes from approximately 50 countries took part. Rawding placed in the top eight! Racer Shane Billings, the girls from Saltos Aerobic Gymnastics Club and curler Lauren Horton, the list goes on. So much for the stereotype of the self-absorbed teenager!

Resident sings praises of Beckwith DEAR EDITOR: For 20 years, my family has been part of Beckwith Township. My kids have played here, grown up here, been educated here, fallen in love here, been heartbroken here and all have gone to parties and dances without a single incident. They’ve camped, explored, biked and walked all over this community and have done so without trepidation. They have made lifelong friends here, learned to be leaders here, learned values and community structure and have done so while feeling secure in their place. I’m very proud to live where I do. I’m proud to send my children to school here, proud to watch them flourish and learn here, knowing that when they grow up and see what’s out there in the world, they’ll remember the good place they got to grow up in and see the intrinsic value of bringing their children up in the same environment.

So, kudos to the Beckwith Judo Club where my daughter learns martial arts. Kudos to the patient and talented instructors who teach her. Kudos to the Beckwith Public School where she’s built a foundation of encouraged learning and thank you to the teachers who have done a brilliant job of preparing her for the world of high school. Kudos to the Beckwith Township staff, and especially to Cassandra McGregor who has developed so many great programs for the kids in Beckwith Township. I’m grateful for this wonderful little community, warts and all. I heard my youngest daughter say to me once, “I’m so glad I get to grow up here. I can see the stars at night and I love being here.” Me too. Colleen Gray Beckwith Township

Reader urges council to be transparent, accountable DEAR EDITOR: I noticed that mayor Wendy LeBlanc was quick to respond to Doug Smith’s letter to the editor in the June 13 Canadian Gazette regarding development proposals (‘Carleton Place mayor responds to comments in recent letter to editor’). I would like to know why my May 23 letter was not given the same attention (‘Council needs to take closer look at code of conduct’)? I believe I’ve seen the mayor every week at the Carleton Place Farmers’ Market so far this year and many times last year, but to date she’s never stopped to discuss this matter (this year, she hasn’t bothered to even

say hello). There have been numerous meetings and discussions about fluoridation of the town’s drinking water, but not a peep on the issue of accountability and transparency since council voted against a gift registry in May 2012. I’m not sure what is so offensive about me as a taxpayer asking council and the town to be accountable. Could someone please enlighten me as to why accountability and transparency is taboo with the current town council? Scott Dunlop Carleton Place

EMERALD ASH BORER - COMING TO AN ASH TREE NEAR YOU This little beetle is a highly destructive insect native to the Asian Continent. It was discovered in the Windsor/ Detroit corridor in 2002. It has since destroyed millions of trees. It was discovered in the City of Ottawa in 2008. Since that time the City of Ottawa, Leeds and Grenville have been quarantined and the movement of ash wood and wood products is prohibited. The City of Ottawa removed 800 affected trees in the winter of 2011. The handling of ash trees that have been affected by emerald ash borer can take special techniques. Gardiner Tree Trimming & Removal Ltd. strives to use the safest methods possible to remove dead and dangerous trees of all species. Our methods use equipment such as a crane, bucket or excavator as the job requires. Gardiner Tree Trimming & Removal Ltd. offers TreeAzin® Systemic Insecticide. It is an injectable insecticide formulated with azadirachtin, an extract of neem tree seeds (not neem oil). TreeAzin is registered by Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) (PCP 30559). Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment (MOE) scheduled TreeAzin® as a class 4 pesticide or “least hazardous that is

commercial”, with a class 11 active ingredient. TreeAzin is exempt from Ontario’s Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Act.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR: EAB is a slender, elongate insect about 1/3 - 1/2 inch long. It is widest just behind the head, gradually tapering back to the abdomen. It is a bright iridescent green to copper-green color, often with a copper colored area behind the head. Its body underneath the wings is a purplish-magenta color. Trees typically are killed in two to four years. When trees are ﬁrst attacked by EABs, the symptoms are inconspicuous and hard to notice. By the end of the second year, thinning foliage and dieback in the crown begins to be

apparent. By the third year, there is severe dieback and little foliage. Ash can tolerate small numbers of EAB larvae but trees are girdled and killed when populations become more numerous. When the adults emerge, they create small, 1/8 inch D-shaped exit holes that are characteristic of this insect, although they can be hard to see. If you were to remove the bark on the trunk of a tree showing these symptoms, you should also ﬁnd the larval galleries. Woodpecker attacks on ash could also indicate the presence of emerald ash borers.

Helping FVM residents achieve their restorative goals – one step at a time By Carmen Sanchez Each morning as I arrive at my office, I hear words of encouragement from Physiotherapist Assistant Kristy Dodd as she supports and encourages the residents of Fairview Manor (FVM) to achieve their restorative goals. Working together, Kristy and Physiotherapist Patti Morton deliver attentive, high-quality therapeutic exercise, walking programs, and manual therapy techniques to combat the physical effects of immobility. Their programs help to maintain and improve range of motion, muscle strength, posture, balance, endurance, lung function and gait. The therapeutic engagement and motivation provided to our residents helps them with their physical challenges and maximizes each resident’s potential for independence. Most importantly, their practice respects the individuality and dignity of each resident by providing equal care, regardless of their physical and cognitive status. When asked what she enjoys most about her job, Kristy says, “Firstly, it’s the satisfaction of helping

our residents to improve or maintain their functional abilities. We receive a great deal of pleasure in knowing our residents are happy when they see the improvements themselves, and knowing they enjoy doing their exercises. Secondly, I enjoy coming into ‘work’ knowing that I will smile and laugh many times throughout the day with residents and co-workers. Knowing we can have fun and laugh with our residents means everything. It is a privilege to work with such an amazing group of colleagues and residents.” This morning I witnessed not only the positive

words of encouragement, but the gentle touch and guidance of these two staff members as they walked with a resident. When asked what she enjoyed most about coming to therapy she said, “Learning to walk and strengthening. I feel good and wish I could do better. I feel very comfortable. They have tremendous patience, which I don’t have. I would like to get up and walk and go.” Another resident said, “They are well trained and good with the residents. Sometimes the residents don’t want to come out, but they always change their minds.” I am grateful for how much Patti and Kristi’s therapeutic interventions help to improve the lives of the residents. Their wellness philosophy—harmony of the body, mind, and spirit—permeates the halls of Fairview Manor, one step at a time. Carmen Sanchez is Assistant Director of Care at FVM and Manager of the Almonte General Hospital Rosamond Unit

WELL program helps women entrepreneurs in Lanark and North Leeds By KELLY KENT kkent@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Local women have a great opportunity to be entrepreneurs with a new pilot program from Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC). Women Entrepreneurs in Lanark and North Leeds (WELL) is one of three programs the corporation is starting this year, and aims to help local businesswomen flourish in the community. At a lunch meeting on June 27, Susan Fournier, Valley Heartland CFDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director, and Kyle Jackson, the business development co-ordinator, gave a presentation about WELL to a room full of interested women. Valley Heartland CFDC is a corporation that aims to develop communities, largely through providing business loans. The WELL program, explained Fournier, is to help small home-based businesses grow into larger businesses through microloans, or to help successful entrepreneurs expand their existing businesses with larger loans. Members of the WELL program will also have access to business mentors, coaches and workshops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of our pilot programs are really about encouraging people to take that next step,â&#x20AC;? said Fournier.

Susan Fournier (left), executive director of Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, talks about Women Entrepreneurs of Lanark and North Leeds (WELL), a new pilot program to help local businesswomen on June 27. Above, Carleton Place mayor Wendy LeBlanc addresses the audience of more than 30 women about how Carleton Place will pilot the project.

Jackson explained that almost anyone in the area can apply to be part of the WELL program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a woman and you own a business, you can pretty much be sure that you can take part in the program,â&#x20AC;? he said. Being a part of the WELL program can have many advantages: members have access to business mentors and coaches as well as workshops and training sessions to improve skills. The workshops will be tailored to the specific needs of the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members. Members of the program can be mentors, mentees or both, said Jackson. Mentors will ideally be successful, knowledgeable and skilled in one or many aspects of entrepreneurship. Mentors and mentees will be matched up based on needs, then the two will meet up on an agreed upon schedule, usually for one or two hours per month. There is no deadline to apply to be a member of the program, and you do not need to have a business loan either. Most women entrepreneurs are welcome, said Jackson. Contact Kyle Jackson of the Valley Heartland CFDC at Kyle.Jackson@ valleycfdc.com or call 613-283-7002 ext. 110 for more information about the WELL program. R0012169705_0620

EMC Events – Like all Canadians, thousands of people in Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills showed their true patriot love to their home and native land on Monday, July 1 – Canada Day. Celebrations took place in both communities, in Riverside and Gemmill parks. Clockwise from top left: Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc (right) and 2012 Citizen of the Year Ronette Vines lead the annual Children’s Bicycle Parade with the popular Giant Tiger mascot; Carleton Place councillors Jerry Flynn (right) and Louis Antonakos serve birthday cake with Abby Lanouette to revelers at Riverside Park; Carleton Place musician Kirk Armstrong entertains on stage; Merrickville’s Scott McClelland of Carnival Diablo Productions performs Prof. Crookshank’s Travelling Medicine Show to a packed crowd; nine-year-old Brayden Brezden of Carleton Place enjoys the petting zoo; Almonte’s Impact Percussion plays drum music on garbage cans and buckets at Gemmill Park; temporary and fun body art was a hit with a number of local children; even the dogs got dressed up in red and white to celebrate Canada Day; and bright fireworks light up the night sky.

Pakenham celebrates Canada Day Eve June 30

I hope everyone had a great Canada Day weekend and let’s hope the rest of the summer is a little less wet than June was. According to farmzone.com, the average rainfall in Ottawa in June is 85mm whereas we received nearly 130mm of precipitation in June of this year. For our local farmers and for the enjoyment of summer, hopefully we’ll have a much better July and August. While summer is ofﬁcially upon us, there is still some work to do at City Council in the coming weeks including a vote on the plan for LRT between Tunney’s Pasture and Baseline Station and another vote concerning a casino in Ottawa. I’d like to take this opportunity to discuss the upcoming vote on the casino issue that will come before the Finance & Economic Development Committee (FEDCO) on Tuesday, July 9th and rise to full Council on Wednesday, July 17th. For those new to the issue, Council ﬁrst considered whether or not Ottawa was to be a willing host to a new or expanded casino in October 2012. This was due to the Modernization Plan put forward by the Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation (OLG) that suggested new locations for casinos throughout Ontario. Council voted 19-5 in favour of being a willing host, sending the message to the OLG that Ottawa should be considered for a new casino. At that time, and with the support of residents throughout Rideau-Goulbourn, I voted against the idea as I felt the only desire of the OLG was a downtown casino and this would come at the cost of the existing Rideau-Carleton Raceway (RCR). RCR is an integral part of our rural communities and its potential closure would result in the loss of nearly 1000 jobs, which, in my mind, would be completely unacceptable. My opposition was not against the idea of expanding gaming, but against the potential loss of the RCR. I was always of the mind that if we expand gaming in Ottawa or if we build a new casino in Ottawa, that it should be on the same grounds at RCR.

EMC Events –People filled the streets of Pakenham June 30 to take part in the Canada Day Eve festivities and to watch the famous Canada Day parade. Above, several people decorated their cars in red and white and joined the parade, waving to spectators as they passed. Left, a playful float features a Christmas snowman but boasts a Canada Day banner. Below, horses pull a carriage, thrilling the crowd with their huffs, puffs and snorts as they pass. Below left, Liam the Leprechaun, Celtfest’s mascot, hands out treats to children dressed in red and white as he walks down the street. Below right, a small fleet of colourful, motorized airplanes complete with spinning propellers provided by area Shriners prove to be a crowd favourite at the parade.

This brings to us to a motion before FEDCO on July 9th, put forward by Mayor Jim Watson, which states “that the Ontario Lottery & Gaming Corporation be informed, prior to the start of the RFP process, that the only location acceptable to the City of Ottawa for an expanded gaming facility is the current location at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.” This is a welcome change in direction from the support of a downtown casino that responds directly to the overwhelming support of RCR from the residents of Ottawa. From October until today, I have consistently heard from residents across the City, either via email or in person, if we are to see a new or expanded casino that it should be at RCR. In recent weeks, we’ve seen one individual come forward and suggest that he should be allowed to bid on a casino for him to build on land that he currently owns. However, at no point in the last eight months have we heard from residents of Kanata/Stittsville, or any other community for that matter, indicating that they want a new casino in their community. A new casino in a community like Kanata/Stittsville would decimate existing restaurant and hotel businesses and create a gambling environment in a community where that environment does not currently exist. Without the support of the people that actually live in the community, I would not support the construction of a new casino in it and nor should the elected ofﬁcials that represent that community. Rideau Carleton Raceway was established long before any new developments have encroached upon it and a considerable buffer still exists between Findlay Creek and their site on Albion Road. It is the logical choice for an expanded casino operation and I am happy to support our call to the OLG that this be the only location considered. I strongly encourage my colleagues on Council to do the same. I look forward to this vote and I want to thank all of you for the support you have shown for Rideau Carleton in recent months. Flewellyn Road Closure I’d really like to thank everyone on Flewellyn Road for their patience this summer as construction will affect this particular road due to three separate projects stretching the entire length of the road. Earlier, we announced closures between Huntley Road and Eagleson Road due to the Enbridge Gas pipeline reinforcement project. Beginning this month, we’ll also begin the resurfacing of Flewellyn Road, between Munster Road and Ashton Station Road. The latest notice of closure is concerning the portion between Munster Road and Dwyer Hill Road for the renewal of a bridge. This closure will begin July 2 and last until August 22. Local and emergency trafﬁc will maintain access and a signed detour will be in place. Thank you again for your patience. Watson’s Mill Beer Tasting

EMC News – The Carleton Place family of schools hosted a Fitness Day on June 21 that involved all students from Caldwell Street Public School, Beckwith Public School, Arklan Community Public School, and Carleton Place High School (CPHS) being involved in at least one active event throughout the day. In addition, the grade 6 stu-

dents from the elementary schools visited CPHS for a transition event that was fitness-focused. Healthy snacks were provided at all schools. “It was an amazing day,” said Lea Doxey, vice-principal at Caldwell Street Public School. “We’d been talking about doing something active for a while. We have a great partnership with our

local fitness providers thanks to the family fitness events we’ve been offering all year, so many were more than happy to get involved with this special day.” Doxey said the day involved a visit from members of the Ottawa 67’s, as well as members of the Ottawa Fury who offered soccer skills training. Students also participated in fitness stations led by

grade 5 students, circuit training, Zumba, kickboxing, and dancing with Momentum Dance Toronto. “There was a group of students at the Carleton Place Canoe Club,” said Doxey. “We also offered bananas to every student for a healthy snack. “It was a fantastic opportunity for all of our students,” she added.

Notre Dame Catholic High School celebrates class of 2013 By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Notre Dame Catholic High School (NDCHS) seniors attended the class of 2013 graduation ceremony last Wednesday, June 26. Diplomas were awarded to 127 students. The ceremony was attended by parents, extended family, friends, teachers and well-wishers. The singing of ‘O Canada’ and opening prayer followed the procession of graduates. Nancy Kirby, Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) trustee, brought greetings from the board. “Congratulations,” she said. “This is the first leg of your life journey – it’s now over,” she continued. “You can breathe a little sigh of relief.” Kirby’s daughter graduated from NDCHS 11 years ago. In 2012 she received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Currently, she is studying to become an orthopedic surgeon. Passing on her offspring’s advice to the graduates, Kirby remarked: “Use the next four years wisely and meet as many people as possible, and remember university or college will be the most fun you’ll ever have.” “Live your dream,” she added. Dr. Donaleen Hawes, CDSBEO superintendent of education, was pleased to attend the graduation ceremony at NDCHS. “I am always impressed when I come to this school,” she said. “I am impressed with the dedication of staff, respect and reverence of students, and

the fun and laughter I see.” “You have learned to reach out to God, each other,” continued Hawes. “You have attained goals, and today we marvel in your grace and goodness. You’ve made everyone proud.” NDCHS principal Dave Chaplin welcomed guests on behalf of the school. “This is the first year we are holding our graduation ceremony in June,” he said, “and the last few days have been very hectic.” “Four years ago it all began,” continued Chaplin. “You ventured in the school’s front doors excited and nervous. You’ve faced many challenges over the last four years, which has prepared you for what comes next.” Faced with a number of choices, there is no right or wrong path in life. All journeys can be good ones – regardless of the path taken. “Your diploma marks your hard work, dedication and achievement,” said Chaplin. “I know you will be fine.” He told student this was their time. “Success is measured by who you are and how you lead your life,” he added. “It is not measured by money, employment or the kind of car you drive. The administrator finished with the following: “The road that leads to greatness is the road less travelled.”

The Governor General’s Academic Medal went to Zoe Rod. Jeffrey Gourgon earned both the Lieutenant Governor’s Community Volunteer Award and Notre Dame Catholic High School Staff Award. The Notre Dame Catholic High School Principal’s Award went to two recipients this year: Peter Neathway and Jacqueline Rowley. Moreover, the ceremony honoured NDCHS’ Ontario Scholars, graduates who attained an average of 80 per cent or better in their six best Grade 12 courses. A surprise to no one, the 2013 valedictorian was Gourgon. Tongue-in-cheek, he began his address with the following statement: “Today is the first day of the rest of our lives.”

On a more serious note and speaking from the heart, Gourgon informed his classmates approximately 4,660 hours were spent at school over the last four years. “During this time we formed a family,” he said, “and we discovered who we are and what we stand for.” Teachers would be greatly missed. “You taught us to learn, you taught us to build character, you taught us the power of faith, and so much more,” said Gourgon. “We did it!” he continued. “We embraced Notre Dame and all it offered.” At the end of the ceremony, the entire NDCHS staff gathered at the front of the gymnasium and offered a final blessing to graduates.

Awards After a moving Spirit of the Flame ceremony, Ontario Secondary School diplomas, French certificates, and a number of awards and bursaries and scholarships were handed out.

YARD OF THE WEEK 182 Rosebank Street, Blakeney

The garden of Scott McDonald, 182 Rosebank Street in Blakeney was selected as the Garden of the Week. This is an unusual garden design that works very well. A corner lot on a dead-end street with a shady side yard that leads to a sunny front exposure. The entire street front is covered by a stained wood fence about 8 feet high. An assortment of shrubs and vines give great interest, from ﬂowering clematis reaching the top to various creeping thymes along the pavement edge. There are plants of a variety of sizes and textures that show up well against the wood. The side yard has a ﬂower border beside the house and a sunny lawn ending in a shady bed going around the corner with a pleasant assortment of hostas. All the beds have been recently weeded and no unhealthy plants appear. There was no sign of spraying. The planting overall is well suited to its location and the wall is an attractive way of displaying a large variety of plant shapes, sizes and behaviours.

Almonte native Judy Cressman has written a book – Ryan’s Legacy – designed to help people deal with the loss of a loved one.

Ryan’s Legacy: A tale of love and healing EMC Lifestyle – When Admaston-Bromley resident Judy Cressman’s son Ryan died Nov. 30, 2009, she felt like she wanted to die. Today, her healing journey has led her to a place of comfort where she believes she will one day see her son again. Ryan, who attended Renfrew Collegiate Institute, was only 31-years-old when he died of cancer. Written under Cressman’s maiden and pen name J.J. Southwell, Ryan’s Legacy – How to Survive the Loss of Your Loved One, is the compelling tale of a mother’s love and the lessons she learned dealing with her son’s untimely death. “You do not get over your loss, but you work through it,” says Cressman. She hopes her book will present some ideas that help other people going through the loss of a loved one. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change,” she says. Outlook is everything, and she believes the world is filled with

positive energy that people can tap into to lead a happier life. Those sources range from angels, crystals and meditation to hobbies, family and prayer. The retired elementary school principal believes loved ones remain close to us, even after death, and the signs are all around us if we practice awareness and are open to the signs from beyond. “There are no coincidences. Be open to the signs,” she advises. After her son’s death, Cressman discovered a dragonfly symbol on his computer. It has become the sign through which they communicate. The book recounts numerous incidences which brought comfort to Cressman in recent years. It also features special chapters written by Ryan’s brothers, Derek and Jon. Primarily, the book conveys the knowledge and messages Cressman has gained through visits through psychic mediums, a shamanic practitioner, and tarot-card and tea-leaf reader. “The whole book started out as a journal,” says Cressman, who finished the handwritten version of the journal last summer and prepared it for self-publication this past winter.

Aside from writing, she has also been a voracious reader on various subjects related to the afterlife (Heaven), reincarnation and past lives. Cressman has a B.A. in psychology and a master’s degree in education. Since Ryan’s death, Cressman has read 120 books and trained to be a Reiki master and teacher. She now hopes to pursue study of another fascinating subject matter, intuition. Ryan’s Legacy – How to Survive the Loss of Your Loved One is available at local bookstores and on Amazon, through Barnes and Noble in hardcover, softcover and e-book. This week Cressman, who is originally from Almonte but lives just outside Renfrew with her husband Bob, embarks on a valley book-signing tour. Book signing dates and locations: • Friday, July 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Soul Sense in Almonte; • Saturday, July 20 from 1 to 3 p.m. at The Book Nook in Perth; • Saturday, July 20 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Read’s Book Shop in Carleton Place; and • Arlie’s in Smiths Falls in the fall.

SPORTS

Connected to your community

Second Kicks sports equipment program launches Lanark-Carleton initiative EMC Sports – In our home, we probably have at least a half-dozen soccer balls alone. With five children participating in yearround soccer for the past decade or more, we’ve accumulated quite a collection of soccer equipment (jerseys, cleats, balls etc.). For us, it’s an annoyance. More ‘junk’ to trip over as we make our way back to the hot water heater. We sometimes forget how privileged we are, and we can be ignorant of the fact that there is a whole world full of children out there

who don’t have, and have never had, what we take for granted every day. It was during one of our trips downstairs that the painfully obvious thought occurred to us, “Maybe someone could use some of this stuff.” A quick search led us to a non-profit organization called Second Kicks. The Toronto-based charity brings used soccer equipment to economically disadvantaged regions in Canada and around the world. What a great idea!

Since 2004, Second Kicks has collected more than 15,000 soccer uniforms for soccer loving communities in Africa, India, Haiti, Nepal and northern Canada. Now, with the kind assistance of the Carleton Place Soccer Club, Beckwith Township and Calvary Christian Academy, we successfully launched the Second Kicks Lanark-Carleton initiative this past spring. We have been collecting used soccer equipment to send to Belize through our contact, Ann Hinrichs.

Ann has participated in several Christian mission trips to Belize over the past few years. In one recent trip, she said she visited a school of 250 children and found they did not have a single ball to use (soccer, basketball, volleyball etc.). Not one. That’s hard to imagine when we think of the big bag of balls which sits on the sidelines during our children’s soccer games. It just doesn’t seem right. So, we are asking the community of Lanark-Carleton to help change that. For the past few months, the Beckwith indoor soc-

cer field and Calvary Christian Academy have served as dropoff locations for used equipment (thank you!), and even just with word of mouth publicity, we’ve had an incredible response. A coach from Smiths Falls donated two huge bags full of team jerseys, so we should be able to equip several teams with jerseys, at least. But we are always looking for more as there are many other regions in need and our supply of other equipment like cleats and shorts, etc. is low. If you have used soccer equipment (jerseys without names,

shorts, shin pads, cleats, goalie equipment, socks) in clean, good condition to donate, please drop them off at Calvary Christian Academy (except in August) or at the Carleton Place Swimming Pool. Look for the box with the Second Kicks sign. Or contact Steve or Anastasia at 613-2578249 or email secondkicksottawa@gmail.com. Donations for shipping are also needed. Tax-deductible donations can be made online at www.secondkicks.com. Please specify the donation is for Second Kicks Ottawa.

Local psychic to bring messages from spirit world to Kingston audience By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC Entertainment – Do you want to experience something out of this world? If you would like to become inspired about your life, seek answers to questions that may be just a little out of reach, then try getting those answers from the other side, with the help of renowned psychic medium, Matthew Stapley. The Ottawa South resident and Carleton Place native will give you the opportunity to get messages from your dearly departed loved ones as he will bridge that gap from the spirit world to the earth plane on Friday, July 26. His live, three-part performance will kick off at 7:30 p.m. at the Residence Marriott Inn, Kingston. “It’s going to be awesome,” he said in a phone interview. Stapley is becoming a household name in the Nation’s Capital and beyond, with a television show on the Rogers Network, radio gigs, as well as personal readings and group sessions at cafés, book stores and the like. Stapley says he’s able to dial into messages from loved ones who have passed on and he delivers those messages in such a way as to bring hope, peace and love to the inquirer. The first part of the Kingston show is a 45-minute question-and-answer period on psychic ability. It will be a chance for people to ask Stapley about their own encounters, or ask him about his experience with the paranormal, mediumship and spirit. After a 10-minute break, he will return to the message portion of the show. “That’s the cool part that most people come for,” he said. “It’s where I work really hard to bridge a connection between spirit and the earth plane. I deliver messages di-

Stapely did a show at Kingston’s Baby Grand last year and it was sold out a week in advance. Because of the intensity of the messages and how he brings those messages to the inquisitive, Stapely prepares his own mind, thoughts and feelings prior to a show of this mag-

nitude. It’s not just another psychic reading. “It’s a lot of energy, but it’s nice. I have a good team of people working with me behind the scenes as well to help maintain my energy, and of course my spirit guides and loved ones in spirit, and my angels will help me maintain my energy level and the energy of the stage and make it conducive for that type of event.” Meditation is key, he says. “But honestly, I just jump in with both feet. The energy within that preparation is very important to

ensure people get the healing that they’re coming to get.” Stapley says the majority of people who attend an event like this, do so in hopes of hearing from loved ones who’ve passed and to help themselves in their own healing journeys. “If people are coming for that, then it’s the least I can do is to give them all I’ve got with that 100 per cent preparation,” he says.

In the beginning Stapley was just eight years old, and living in Carleton Place – where he lived until he was 20 – when he has his first psychic encounter. He was getting messages from his deceased grandfather, who was also a medium. “I went through periods when I was depressed and I shut down,” he says, as he wasn’t sure what he was encountering. “It’s only been the last year when I have opened up and told my story about growing up as a medium, and needing counselling. I was feeling so much from other people (spirit wise). I was doing readings, but I didn’t know how much Spirit was in my life until I had one psychiatrist tell me that I wasn’t sick and I had a gift.” He’s been working with it ever since. Now, that gift is hugely helpful, he says, not only in his own personal healing journey, but in those around him who seek his services. “When you devote yourself to something, whether it’s this, (or something else), there are times when it just comes up,” Stapley says when asked if he could just shut off the messages that he hears. “There are times when it comes out randomly… like if I’m in a lineup (grocery store, coffee shop) and someone asks me what I do for a living, and they’ll end up hearing from their (deceased) grandmother,” he says with a laugh. But he doesn’t just deliver messages without someone taking that initial step. “In order to do random messages they have to ask me what I do for a living,” he says. “That’s my rule for the Spirit World.”

PSYCHIC From page 37

worse, Stapley says that when he decided to switch gears from a medical lab technician to a full time psychic-medium, it opened up a huge part of his life – being in service and helping people. “I feel that this is what I’m here for… to bring people those messages.” A car accident in which he suffered a head injury really drove home the point that this is his gift, and he should be using it to the best of his ability. “The full time realization came about when I was 23,” he says, which was only four years ago. The best part of his gift is helping people, he says, but what’s the worst part? “No one’s ever asked me that,” he says. “That’s cool… I guess the worst part is the times where I’m helping someone, but the caliber of that message isn’t that strong. I will refund my client because I’m not getting what I want to get out a session. If it’s not up to

my standards, my client will not pay.” Stapley does have repeat clients, but cautions not to get too used to his services. “I would say that my services can be a great way to connect but I think there is a certain amount of personal responsibility that comes on my client’s part and on mine to ensure that the readings are a guiding tool, not a dependency,” he says. Sometimes, his friends bug him for free readings, but he doesn’t often get the right connections. “For me authenticity and integrity are so important in a reading and when I know someone too well I find that the principles of ethical spirit communication can be jeopardized,” he says. For the skeptic, a testimonial from an Ottawa lawyer, who would only share the initials M.Q., said that he tested Stapley on his ability to connect with his deceased father before he believed in Stapley’s psychic ability. “Matthew passed with flying colours. The amount of

information and the specificity of the information Matthew provided shocked me. Only my father and I could possibly have been aware of the events and information Matthew conveyed to me. I am definitely converted and believe in spirit and am convinced that Matthew is a medium capable of conveying messages from those passed on.” Business side of life Stapley and his partner Tristian Brine started their present business, TransdimensionalBeing Associates Inc. which aims to bring people to a better understanding of spirit within their lives. Brine, also a medium and healing energy facilitator, works with people who want to heal certain aspects of their lives. If you would like more information or to book an appointment with Stapley, visit the website listed above or TransdimensionalBeing Associates Inc. or like him on Facebook.

Charity Motorcycle Run to support Interval House, hospital foundation July 7 EMC Events – On Sunday, July 7, motorcycle enthusiasts will once again ride together for the second annual Charity Motorcycle Run in support of two important local charities. Riders will gather at the Dan Peters Sales Centre, located at

3768 Highway 43 (Perth highway), before setting on a scenic 200-kilometre ride. The ride will travel through the beautiful countryside of Merrickville and along the St. Lawrence then on to Crosby, Westport and Rideau Ferry. It

ends at the Dan Peters Auction site at 182 Glenview Road where participants will enjoy a barbecue corn roast and a special live performance by Smith Falls’ very own Jeff Keays and friends. The proceeds from this

charity event will be divided between two local community organizations, Lanark County Interval House and the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation. “Community support is vital to our success and we recognize how much work it takes to organize a great event like this one. We are thrilled that the Rideau Winery and Dan Peters Auctions have chosen our agency as one of the beneficiaries of the Char-

ity Motorcycle Run,” said Heather Whiting, fundraising and volunteer coordinator for Lanark County Interval House. All funds donated to Interval House and to the hospital foundation stay in the community where they will be used to fund important local programs and to support a list of essential hospital equipment. Registration will take place between 9 to 10:15 a.m. at the Dan Peters Sales Centre. The

cost is $25 for both riders and passengers and includes the meal and live music at the end of the run. Non-riders are also welcome to the after-run festivities for a cost of $10 per person. To join the ride, call the Rideau Winery at 613-2051500 or Dan Peters at 613284-8281 or Liquid Dreamz Tattoo 613-283-2600. Corporate sponsorship opportunities are also still available.

Transmission service: Don’t get given the slip EMC Lifestyle – Recently we had a discussion on the pros and cons of regular and preventative maintenance and automakers’ tendency to stretch their recommended service intervals in terms of time and mileage. A lot of dealerships as well as independent shops and mass merchandisers have started to suggest a general inspection combined with an engine oil and filter change two or three times a year to make sure their customers don’t get left on the side of the road. During these inspections, techs will inspect a number of vehicle systems and fluids and filters and one that is critical for continued reliable operation is the automatic transmission fluid. Vehicle makers differ quite a bit when it comes to time and mileage intervals for transmission fluid and filter replacement. Some are as low as 72K km and some are as high as 150K km. It’s always best to refer to your own vehicle’s owner’s manual to be certain of your vehicle’s needs. This fluid operates under pressure and at high temperatures. It also serves to collect small metal particles that wear off of various internal transmission surfaces as

a matter of normal wear and tear. These particles end up trapped in the transmission’s oil pan courtesy of a magnet placed there by the assembler. The fluid is used to transfer rotational force from the front of the transmission (where it’s bolted to the engine) to the rear where it connects to the final drive and drive axles. Repair shops, including dealerships will usually recommend one or two variations on replacing the fluid. The first involves removing the pan, draining whatever fluid comes out, replacing the filter and fluid. The downside with this is that it will only drain, on average, about 4 to 5 litres of the approximately 10-12 litre total that the transmission holds. A good portion of the fluid will remain in the torque convertor or in certain internal passages. If your vehicle requires fluid replacement at the low end of the interval spectrum (say 72K km), this method isn’t as bad as it sounds because over the course of two or three such services, the majority of the fluid will get exchanged. The second most popular method involves the use of specialized flushing equipment which pushes old fluid

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

out of the transmission by means of a circulation pump. This will effectively remove over 90 per cent of the fluid but the downside here is that few shops recommend replacing the filter with this method. The best way is to flush the fluid out and have the filter replaced at the same time. The cost of this varies with vehicle types but the general range for the average vehicle is between $250 and $350. Leaving this maintenance item uncompleted can lead to internal transmission failure which can bring a minimum cost of around $2,500 for removal and a basic overhaul and a few days off the road or more. A lot of drivers wait until a poor shifting or slipping symptom arises before getting the service done and in many cases like this, power flushing the transmission will make things worse not better. Make sure this fluid is checked at every oil change and keep track of when its replacement

is due and get it done.

UCDSB encourages dialogue with community groups EMC News – Trustees at the Upper Canada District School Board want community groups that use their schools outside school hours to first contact the board before concluding that they may have to pay the board new fees. The board recently reviewed its community use of schools policy and procedure and found they weren’t consistently applied to all community groups. The result is that some groups may have to begin paying fees for using the school facilities.

“However, we don’t want any community group to assume that a fee will be charged,” outlined board chair Greg Pietersma. Some groups would be charged a fee to use facilities but there are exceptions, depending on the nature of the group, not-forprofit versus for-profit, etc. Before any community group concludes that they will have to pay a new fee, we encourage those groups to first contact the school board (1-800267-7131) and speak to Judi Piovesan, risk and community

outreach coordinator. The board is also establishing a focus group made up of principals, trustees, administrative staff and community users to identify issues within the procedure that negatively impact users and bring relevant recommendations to the Board’s strategic council for consideration. The recommendations cannot impact working conditions found in collective agreements, requiring additional staff, or adding to the cost of the program. Submitted by the UCDSB.

CDSBEO trustees approve compliant budget for 2013-14 school year EMC News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) June 18 board of trustees meeting at the board office in Kemptville. The CDSBEO’s board of trustees has approved an operating budget of $163.4 million, and a capital budget of $10.4 million, for the 2013-14 school year. All expenditure areas were carefully reviewed to ensure excellence in Catholic program delivery for students across eastern Ontario. The budget provides for the required enhancements associated with the final year of two-year collective agreements, expiring Aug. 31, 2014. Trustees approved the budget at the board meeting held June 18. Brent Laton, chair, commended the group. “This budget will help to ensure that the 2013-14 year will be another successful year,” he said. “On behalf of the board of trustees, I extend my sincere gratitude for the work done by executive council, and the finance department.” Director of Education, William J. Gartland, was pleased with the report. “The budget is proof that our staff remains dedicated to student success. We are ensuring that our staff can continue to engage directly with our students, while providing a strong foundation for our youngest learners, as all schools will offer a full-day, every day kindergarten program next year,” he stated. “I am very pleased that we have achieved these goals while remaining excellent stewards of our financial resources.” Capital projects The board will complete capital related projects to address the final phase of accommodation requirements for full-day kindergarten at eight elementary schools. Construction/renovations will be finalized by the end of August 2014 at St. Edward, Westport; St. John Bosco, Brockville; St. Mary-St. Cecilia, Morrisburg; Bishop Macdonell, Cornwall; Iona Academy, Williamstown; St. Andrew’s, St. Andrews West; Sacred Heart, Cornwall; and Our Lady of Good Counsel, Ingleside. The board has also received $8.4 million for two capital priorities projects. A $1.8 million, three classroom addition at St. Mary-St. Cecilia in Morrisburg, and a $6.6 million, 12-classroom addition to Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place. The board will also receive a School Condition Improvement allocation of $1.3 million to help address the much needed facility repairs and upgrades. Early learning program The budget includes provisions to implement teacher-directed full-day, every day, junior and senior kindergarten programs in September 2013, at all 29 CDSBEO elementary schools across the board. Elementary class size The 2013-2014 financial estimates allow the board to continue to remain compliant with the provincially mandated primary class size requirement.

Mike Ogilvie to bring screaming 1982 Dodge Rampage out for Merrickville car show EMC Lifestyle - Mike Ogilvie of Jasper, Ont., near Smiths Falls, owns a 1982 Dodge Rampage with far more horsepower than it had when new: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I originally got the idea for this vehicle from a late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;80s catalogue, where I saw a Rampage converted to rear-wheel drive. After returning from the Street Machine Nationals in Illinois in 1990, I started looking for one. The Rampage was originally designed off the Omni but with a truck bed and tailgate similar to an El Camino. They were front-wheeldrive and with four cylinders. They were only built from â&#x20AC;&#x2122;82 to â&#x20AC;&#x2122;85 and I wanted the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;82 (best looking). After some

searching, my girlfriend (now my wife) saw one at our local car dealer in Smiths Falls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only pieces I needed were the body and a few interior pieces. These cars were uni-body so the removal of the body was very time-consuming. We constructed a tube chassis with roll cage and mounted the Rampage body on it. The drivetrain has a 448 cid Big Block Dodge, a 727

auto trans, and 8 Âž rear differential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was ready for the Street Machine Nationals in 1991 where it was a big hit and landed on the front cover of Car Craft magazine. We showed and raced the Rampage from 1991 to 1999 and received many awards and many magazine features and articles. In 1999 I crashed the car at a drag strip and the Rampage

sat until 2004 when friends and co-workers decided we should rebuild it and go drag racing again. We raced it only one night and it went back into storage while I started racing dragsters in NHRA and IHRA competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the highlights in the Rampageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career was when I hauled it down to Ocala, Florida, in 1994 to the Don Garlits Museum for a Mopar show. My plan was to try and get him to sign the wing. I have been a huge Garlits fan since I was

a kid. He not only signed the wing but I won the show! â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year the guys from the Merrickville Car Show asked me if I still had the Rampage because they had been asked by some people where it was. So I have decided to bring it out for the 2013 show on Sunday, July 14. This car has been a huge part of my life for a lot of years so it is cool to be getting it back out for everyone to see and relive all the memories.â&#x20AC;? Mike and his wife Vicki op-

Director brings perfect summer UCDSB signs agreement with Eastern Ontario Network action fare to the big screen My Take

MARK HASKINS

hesitate to start kicking butt to find her. Meanwhile President Sawyer (Jamie Fox) is being hurried to a secure location within the White House when he’s betrayed by one of his own. The head of his security detail, Martin Walker (James Woods), is the one behind the entire attack. Luckily for Sawyer, John happens upon them just in time. John has to find a way to get the President out of the White House, rescue the hostages, and save his daughter. He has some help from the outside by way of agent Finnerty (Maggie Gyllenhaal), but for the most part it’s just John and President Sawyer against a mad man and his army of mercenaries. I don’t know if Emmerich did it on purpose or if he claims it’s just a coincidence, but the similarities between White House Down and Die Hard are remarkable to say the least. I

suppose it doesn’t really matter because Emmerich pulls it off. White House Down is a good summer action film. Likeable heroes, despicable villains, a larger-than-life scenario, a few plot twists, a few more oneliners, and a whole lot of action make it well worth seeing. Channing Tatum and Jamie Fox take a good action movie and make it a fun action movie. On their own there’s no question of their talent, but together something special happens. They are funny, they are charming and they are heroic on a whole other level. They are so much fun to watch I hope they do another film together. The rest of the cast isn’t too bad either. Joey King definitely steals the show and Maggie Gyllenhaal nails the part of the intelligent and forceful Secret Service agent. It takes a great actor to play a great villain and James Woods is most certainly a great actor. White House Down is just what I look for in a summer action film. Enough serious action to get the heart pounding, but a light enough plot to keep me laughing. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

broadcasts for UCTV, as well as working with our schools – teachers and students from grades 5 to 12 – on a curriculum which will teach the students the techniques, processes and practises needed to create, produce, direct, film and participate in live and recorded broadcasting. The UCDSB CRM department and EON will be working on the initial planning stages of this agreement throughout the summer, with plans to create student-focused shows related to sports, high school life, hospitality programs, junior politics, talent, drama and more.

In addition, those interested in online print and photography will have the opportunity to create featured content on EasternOntarioNetwork.com. “This is at the very beginning stages, but it’s an exciting opportunity for the Upper Canada District School Board,” says David K. Thomas, UCDSB Director of Education. “This opportunity will drastically increase the number of events which can be shared with parents and community members, further increasing the board’s visibility around the world.” The agreement comes into effect September 2013.

MOVIE: White House Down STARRING: Channing Tatum, Jamie Fox, Joey King, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and James Woods DIRECTOR: Roland Emmerich RATING: PG Entertainment - I really enjoyed Die Hard 6… I mean White House Down. Okay so White House Down is basically Die Hard with a bit of Die Hard 3 thrown in, but Die Hard is one of my favourite movies, and Roland Emmerich did it well so I’m all right with it. The premise is simple. A group of highly trained mercenaries, pretending to be terrorists, infiltrate the White House and orchestrate a violent take over. On the surface it looks like an elaborate robbery, but in truth there’s something much more sinister happening. John Cale (Channing Tatum) is taking the tour with his daughter Emily (Joey King) when the White House gets attacked. John’s ex-military working as a guard for the Speaker of the House, and has aspirations of joining the secret service. So when John and Emily get separated he doesn’t

Company of Fools present ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ July 11 at MERA English, French and Welsh all collide in this classic clash of cultures, combat of convention and battle of the sexes. Falstaff, a rascally rogue with a penchant for drink, women and mischief, arrives in the small town of Windsor to get up to no good. Underestimating the intellect of the middle class, he attempts to woo two married ladies at the same time, not realizing for a second that they are onto him. “The wives of Windsor are merry indeed as they use and abuse Falstaff for their own amusement – giving him hard-won lessons in matters of the heart (and maybe teaching their husbands a thing or two as well)! All set against the natural backdrop of MERA’s gardens, shaken and stirred with an Edwardian twist. This highly physical production promises to have audiences of all ages rolling in the aisles (or on

the lawn, rather).” To enjoy a full dinnerand-theatre evening, arrive at 5:30 p.m. for the farmers’ Mmarket supper with an à la carte menu of savories and sweets, cold drinks and barista service. We will send more details on the evening’s menu closer to the day of the performance. Bring your own plates and cutlery. Dinner service clos-

2013 PRICEDEX SUMMER SERIES “The Best Of The Best” ABBAMANIA & NIGHT FEVER

R0012185658_0704

EMC Entertainment – It’s officially an annual tradition. The McDonald’s Corners Farmers’ Market is hosting the Company of Fools at the MERA Schoolhouse on Thursday evening, July 11. This year’s Shakespearein-the-park production is ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’. You already know from the title that it’s a comedy, and with the Fools’ irreverent use of physical theatre techniques, you know it will be hilarious. The Company of Fools is an Ottawa-based troupe inspired by the rogue Elizabethan players that once entertained audiences outdoors and at the Globe theatre. Being Fools, they combine the classical text with clowning, masks and puppetry. The Fools summarize their approach to The Merry Wives like this: “Love and marriage, jealousy and revenge, men and women,
