EMC News - Residents at the Fetherston Mobile Home Park are about to lose their homes. The location has had a 39-year history of poor sewage maintenance and Ministry of the Environment (MOE) work orders that have been left unaddressed. The North Grenville municipality has been trying to help the small trailer community of more than 50 residents, by encouraging prospective owners to consider taking on the location. All attempts have failed and the park, with failing septic systems, has no owner. The municipality had agreed to look after the Fetherston maintenance shortly after the park’s owner, J. Edwin Brown, went bankrupt in 2008.

Last week the municipality issued a “letter of violation” which signals an end to the fourdecades long litany of problems with the park’s five septic tanks. At that time Raymond Inc. was appointed trustee of J. Edwin Brown Holdings. “This company was the owner of Fetherston Park. The property was subject to a number of orders issued by the ministry of the environment regarding issues with the water treatment and sewer treatment facilities. The trustee abandoned the property immediately upon the filing of the bankruptcy since the costs to address the orders issued by the MOE far exceeded the value of the property,” explained Stanley Loiselle of Raymond Chabot Inc.

He was driving a green 1999 Ford pick-up truck. The woman has been identified as Joan Arnold, a resident of Richmond. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Perth resident set to hit the water for annual cancer society kayaking fundraiser By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Bruce Raby has turned his relaxing hobby of kayaking into a successful fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. In a few weeks, the Perth resident will kick off his second annual Kayaking to Beat Cancer fundraiser, by embarking on a five-day, 110-kilometre voyage along the Rideau Canal. From Aug. 10 to 14, he will paddle from Perth to Ottawa along the canal. While this is his second year making that trip, six years prior he kayaked from Kingston to Ottawa. “I’ve raised almost $25,000 over the years, which I feel pretty good about,” he noted during a recent interview. His reasons for organizing the fundraiser are simple: he enjoys being on the water in a kayak and cancer has touched his life. “Cancer has affected a lot of people in my family in particular in some way and I enjoy fundraising and meeting and talking to people. If I put that all together I can do something useful like raising money,” Raby explained. It is a “meaningful” initiative to him, he said. “...I don’t want to stop doing it. I do it because I can and I want to,” Raby commented. Accompanied by his son, Raby’s journey by kayak will set out from Perth at Last Duel Park on Aug. 10. He said he is planning for a five-day trip at the moment, but may finish it sooner “depending on where we end up on each day.” He hopes to travel about 40 kilometres a day, with overnight stops in Merrickville and possibly Smiths Falls and Manotick as well. “I started kayaking in 2005, but had been paddling a canoe

forever. Since taking up kayaking, I’ve paddled a canoe once since then,” Raby said. “It’s so pleasurable and easy to paddle a kayak. I enjoy sitting right on the water and gliding along. It’s an amazing feeling.” “This is an opportunity to do something that I love doing and at the same time do something that’s useful and help other people. It’s a win-win situation,” he added. This year, Raby noted that 100 per cent of the proceeds from the fundraiser will be going directly to the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society. “The monies raised will stay in the community and be used to help individuals and families dealing with cancer,” he said. “That’s important. I like the idea and I think it’s important to some people.” The funds have been earmarked to assist with the cancer society’s transportation program, which provides rides for patients going to and from treatment appointments. Award The local cancer society believes what Raby is doing is important as well. So much so, that last month, fundraising coordinator Amanda Gifford and community office manager Leanne Waddell, presented him with the Community Partnerships Award. According to Waddell, the award is given to “individuals or groups who have held their own fundraising events for the Canadian Cancer Society.” She said individuals like Raby are “incredibly important” to continuing the cancer society’s work throughout the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville communities. “We literally would not be able to do things for the community if we didn’t have people

like him,” she noted, referencing the importance of the transportation program, which in the Perth area alone, serves 27 clients. “Last year, we gave 3,500 free rides to cancer-related appointments, just in our community. It’s a huge service we offer here and we also have local peer support programs,” Waddell added. Raby was humbled by the gesture as well. “I certainly never felt that I’ve done enough to merit such a thing, but it’s very nice,” he said of the award. “...I honestly really do appreciate it.” Fundraising events To raise additional funds for his Kayaking to Beat Cancer initiative, Raby will be making appearances at area grocery stores, where individuals can learn more about the fundraiser and make a donation. First up is this Saturday, July 20 at Steve’s Independent Grocer in Carleton Place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and then Aug.3 at Barnabe’s Independent Grocer in Perth from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. He is also collecting through coin boxes at LCBO stores in Smiths Falls, Merrickville, Kemptville and Manotick throughout the month of July. As an added incentive, all donations made of $20 or more will receive a ticket into a draw for one of Raby’s prints. He is also an amateur photographer. Raby also credits local businesses for their sponsorship, including Tackaberry Construction, Arnott Brothers Construction Ltd., Domicile Developments, and Hinton Dodge Chrysler. “It’s really rewarding when the organizations in the community are prepared to support the event as well,” he stated.

Shoreline landowners benefitting from shoreline evaluations across province in reporting on shoreline health. This can then be used to identify trends over time and across the province. Ultimately we will have more vibrant, healthier lakes.” The program has been well received by local lake associations with 17 participating in this the pilot year. More than 1,700 properties will be assessed and individual reports handed out to landowners this year alone. “Our hope is that this new information and newfound commitment on the part of land owners will translate to stewardship action on the ground,” states Barbara King, executive director of the Centre for Sustainable Water-

sheds. “We’ve been doing this program in eastern Ontario for decades with great results and now are excited to bring this method to other parts of the province.” If your lake association is interested in participating in this program or for more information on the Love Your Lake program, visit www.loveyourlake. ca or contact Lynn Preston, provincial co-ordinator at preston@watersheds.ca or 613-264-1244. Funding for this program is provided, in part, by the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Submitted by the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds.

New Old Age Security option now available EMC News – Effective July 1, Canadian seniors can choose to delay receiving their Old Age Security (OAS) pension for up to five years, allowing them to receive a higher monthly amount in the future. The announcement was made by the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. “People today are taking many different paths to retirement, and some seniors are choosing to work longer,” said Minister Finley. “Canadians now have the option to voluntarily defer their OAS pension for up to five years in exchange for a higher monthly amount.”

As part of the 2012 budget, the government announced the new voluntary deferral option for the OAS, which will give more flexibility and choice in retirement planning to Canadians. The OAS is funded through general tax revenues and is indexed to the Consumer Price Index. It enhances the quality of life of Canadian seniors by providing a modest base upon which to build additional income for retirement. In 2012-2013, it provided 5.2 million seniors with an estimated $40.4 billion in benefits. For further information, visit the Service Canada website at www.servicecanada.gc.ca/oaschanges.

sive deterioration of the frontal lobe of the brain), at the age of 61. “I had been struggling for several years with confusion, both at home and in my secretarial job,” explained McKinlay. “I finally went to the doctor one morning when I could not remember how to put the denture back in my mouth.” Right away, the doctors started McKinlay on cholinesterase inhibitor Aricept. In addition, McKinlay had heard about memantine while visiting her friends in a chat room and consulted her doctor about this medication. With both medications, McKinlay is able to function better than she did. “Seven years later I’m still chatting to the same people about these two drugs,” she said. “Gone are the days of putting the bread in the garbage can instead of the breadbox or dumping the cup of flour in the sink, instead of the mixing bowl and I even remember how to put my dentures back in my mouth.” If she tries to do too much, her brain becomes foggy and she needs to slow down and do one task at a time with breaks in between. McKinlay is also sensitive to sound and uses headphones to block out noise. “My eyes have also become affected in that sometimes I have extreme sensitivity to light which

causes headaches,” she explained. “When this happens I use clip-on sunglasses on top of sunglasses or stay indoors and keep the curtains closed.” McKinlay also had issues with taking showers because of the sound of the water and the feeling of the spray hitting her skin. So with her ingenuity, she starting using earplugs to dim the noise and now enters the bathtub at the far end away from the showerhead and only exposes one part of the body to the water at a time. Once again, she enjoys her daily shower. “Others have said to me that they have trouble making decisions about things and I must agree,” the guest speaker noted. “The decision of what to wear each morning takes up a whole bunch of brain power. A simple solution I found is to have a few of my favourite outfits hanging at one end of my closet. Each ensemble is on a hanger. I’m ready to go in minutes and no decisionmaking.” McKinlay also has other suggestions relative to keeping the bathroom uncluttered, shopping, using a curling iron, brain breaks and taking medication. To find out more, go to www. jim-mary.com. This is a great resource as McKinlay shares her experiences in journals. “Make your life as simple as you can,” she recommended. “You can live well with the condition. Focus on what you can do.”

EMC News – The Love Your Lake program is in full swing across the province of Ontario, assessing shoreline health in five regions of Ontario. Love Your Lake is a joint venture of the Centre for Sustainable Watersheds (CSW) in eastern Ontario and the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) and is operating in partnership with the Lakeland Alliance of Peterborough Green Up, the City of Greater Sudbury, Muskoka Watershed Council and lake organizations in eastern Ontario. Working with local lake associations, the regional partners are conducting shoreline assessments from boats. The process involves looking at every property on the lake and offering up individualized reports to landowners suggesting ways in which they can improve their land management practices and help increase the health of their lake. Suggestions include planting more trees and shrubs by the shore, the so-called “ribbon of life,” which has huge impacts on improving the quality of the water, the habitat for fish and wildlife and property values. So does maintaining a healthy septic system, not using fertilizers or pesticides and using nature friendly products. “We’re very excited about this program,” says David Browne, program manager at CWF, “all participating regions of the province are now using the same method to assess shorelines and provide advice to landowners. This will ensure continuity and uniformity

This year is beginning of great things for Perth’s Studio Theatre EMC Entertainment – Many people consider the number thirteen unlucky. That’s why high-rise buildings have no 13th floor, why people fear Friday the 13th, and why many will breathe a sigh of relief when the year 2013 passes uneventfully. But for Studio Theatre in Perth, the year 2013 is the beginning of great things. First, they are offering a spectacular season of plays with something for everyone. The opening production in September is a perennial favourite, a comedy by Norm Foster. Old Love is a challenging play in which ten characters are played by only four actors. Foster at his best, making us laugh one minute, then reflect on life the next. In October, the company will host an Evening of One-Act Plays featuring Studio Theatre’s own entry into the Eastern Ontario Drama League’s One-Act Play Festival (EODL). The festival is an event which this group has hosted twice it joined the EODL in 2009, and in which they have won awards each year. As has become the custom, this year they will host an evening of oneact plays at Studio Theatre, featuring their festival entry, For the Death of Me by Norm Foster, directed by Barb Guthrie. (In case you think Foster’s plays are just fluff, his play Looking won the Theatre Ontario Full Length Play Festival in Kingston this past year). For the Death of Me will be accompanied by another one-act play from a guest company. This is still in the works so watch the Studio Theatre website for details. In December, a treat for everyone

with The Wonderful Story of Mother Goose, an English pantomime by Norman Robbins. This ever-popular theatrical tradition is full of heroes and villains, music and laughter. A great way to celebrate the Christmas season with the whole family – fun for the kids and just a little bit naughty for the grownups. Then in February, Jeremy Dutton brings us the challenging drama that carries both superb comedy and powerful emotion. Leaving Home by David French, is a truly Canadian story about the Mercers, a Newfoundland family who have settled in Toronto. This will be followed in April by the blockbuster Lion in Winter by James Goldman, directed by Kathy Reid. This Broadway hit went on to become an Academy Award winning movie with Peter O’Toole and Katherine Hepburn. And finally, to end the season with a musical bang, Little Women – The Musical based on the beloved novel of Louisa May Alcott with Music by Jason Howland and Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein. It will be directed by C. Lee Bates who brought Studio Theatre’s first musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, to the stage last year. Another story to appeal to the young and the young at heart. But the icing on the cake for this fabulous season of live entertainment is that all of these plays can now be enjoyed by everyone!

CELEBRATING 80 YEARS OF HELPING OUR COMMUNITY THE EMC - 6 - Thursday, July 18, 2013


REGIONAL NEWS From page 4

Having raised a total of $7,000 along with a fellow paddler who made the trek with him, Raby said he’s aiming to bring in $4,000 through this year’s event. He gets immense pleasure from meeting people along the way. “If I see someone close to the water, I’ll paddle over and ask for a donation. I love doing that and I probably raised close to $500 on the water between Perth and Ottawa,” he stated. “People will hand you $20 bills or so and it’s amazing that they do that.” One story of generosity, in particular, is something that will always stick with him. “A few years ago when I was in Kars near Manotick and an older gentleman was sitting by a rickety old dock in front of a small cottage. I approached him and explained what I was doing and he reaches in his pocket and pulls out a $100 bill and handed it to me,” Raby said. “I don’t know if he saw the shocked look on my face and I asked him if

he needed change, but he said no, that he was feeling pretty flush that day. I’ll never forget that, that kind of generosity...” Raby has lock passes for 15 boats and anyone who wishes to paddle along with him on the trek. “They can certainly get in touch with me and are more than welcome to paddle,” he said. “They must be reasonably experienced paddlers and have their own boat.” Over the next few weeks, Raby said he will be getting out on the water to prepare for the fundraiser and said it’s a rewarding experience he hopes to continue into the future. “I’m tired at the end, but it’s an incredible feeling of satisfaction when you’re done knowing that in a small way you’re helping people and that’s important to me,” he remarked.

How to celebrate food…from field to table EMC Lifestyle – In Lanark, Leeds and Grenville there are many opportunities to celebrate local, healthy and nutritious foods. You can begin by visiting your local farmers’ markets and community gardens where local fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs can be found. Talking to the farmers will help you learn which foods grow well in our areas and how they are grown. Many grocery stores also carry local foods. At Rideau Valley Diabetes Services we offer free grocery store tours that explore foods and food labels in local grocery stores. Learning to read labels will help you prepare nutritious meals

for you and your family. You can also plant your own garden or grow smaller vegetables in pots at home. When it comes time to cook, make sure to use healthier methods such as broiling, baking, and steaming. If cooking has become a chore or you would like to take your skills to another level, consider some new cookbooks from your local library or go to www.dietitians. ca/eatwell for new recipe ideas. Another option is to attend a cooking class in your community. For people with Diabetes or Prediabetes, Rideau Valley Diabetes Services hosts cooking groups monthly in Smiths Falls and Brockville. You can register

Community Health Centre (2 Gould St.) or call 613-283-1952. To register for any of our programs or for more information, call: 613-498-1555 (Brockville office), 613-2842558 (Smiths Falls office), toll free: 1-877-321-4500.

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Local MPP fed up with Hydro One monopoly DEAR EDITOR: You know something is wrong with Hydro One when more than half of the calls that come into my offices in Perth, Carleton Place, Napanee and Toronto are about the poor quality of service at Hydro One. I receive more calls from people with hydro problems than I do from people who have issues with all of the rest of the Ontario government, of all its ministries and of its more than 600 agencies, boards and commissions. The number one complaint I hear from residents since the Liberals’ Green Energy Act and its cousin the time of use smart meters, is that people have seen their hydro costs double or triple practically overnight. It is simply not believable that so many people increased their electricity usage that much. Unfortunately, there is no way for anyone to check whether they really have or have not used that much electricity. Unlike with the old meters, where you could go out and check your hydro usage to verify whether your Hydro One’s actual or estimated bills were correct,

you can’t with the new time of use meters. Instead, you must pay whatever arbitrary amount Hydro One bills you. Many people often criticize banks for their customer service. However, can you imagine a bank that wouldn’t give you proof of all of your withdrawal, deposit or payment transactions? Would you willingly be a customer of a bank that prevented ATMs or tellers from providing receipts, and sent you instead only a monthly account balance that could not be independently verified? First off, it would be unlawful for any bank or other business to not issue receipts on request and you probably would find another bank, or even file a lawsuit. But, one thing is for certain, you wouldn’t remain a customer. Unlike most other businesses, Hydro One is a monstrous monopoly and does not need to prove its customer billings to you, the customer. Hydro One customers have no way of verifying See LETTER page 9

COMMENTARY

Surviving summer vacation EMC Editorial – Just a couple of weeks into summer break and many families are planning or about to embark on their vacation getaway. Whether sticking close to home or travelling across the country (or the world), there are many challenges to vacationing with the little ones. Preparation is key. Map out a schedule and stick to it. By doing this, children will thrive in their routine. Plan your child’s naptime during the commute to your destination. Make sure to pack light, bringing only the essentials with you. Being laden with luggage while trying to pass through airport security with two cranky children in tow is no one’s idea of paradise. Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) recommends doing some research if you’re venturing across the border. Have appropriate identification on hand, receipts and documentation, and be sure to read the rules on what products (alcohol, tobacco) can be brought back into the country. Certain goods such as plants, weapons and animal products are also prohibited. Plan your own vacation and try to avoid popular tourist destinations. Most kids of a young age aren’t apt to remember touring Times Square or taking a trip to Paris to see the Eiffel tower. Save those types of vacations for when they’re a bit older and can appreciate seeing the sights. Instead, opt for activities such as camping, amusement parks or shorter road trips. This gives children a chance to relax with a hike or a swim and have some down time when they (and parents) need it. Visit the CBSA website (www.cbsa.gc.ca) to become versed on border regulations.

Tramps were transient back in Depression years EMC Lifestyle – Father was sure there was a hidden sign nailed to a tree, only visible to the countless tramps who rode the rails that said, “jump here... good food up the hill.” Deep in the heart of the Depression years, almost as if they were put there to remind us there was someone in worse shape than we were, tramps walked the back roads, rode the freight trains, and survived by begging for their next meal. Countless numbers found their way to our kitchen door, always around dinner time, looking for something to eat. They frightened me, although Father said they were harmless, and I was glad that if they did surface at night, we never saw them. My brothers were sure they often came up over the West Hill and slept in the barn where they were warm and away from the outdoor elements. They seemed to know, on the farm, the big meal was at the noon hour. They also seemed to know when the family was all seated at the table, because that was when we would hear the gentle knock on the door. They never had to ask for something to eat. We knew why they were there.

Mother would look them over, and if they were clean, having taken a wash in the Bonnechere River before coming up the hill, they were invited in. If they looked like they needed a hand-scrub, Mother would take out a wash basin of warm soapy water, put it on the back stoop and tell them to come in when they had washed up. The brothers would squeeze together on the bench and make room for the tramp, and Mother would laden a plate full of food, and I would watch mesmerized as the food vanished as if they hadn’t eaten in days, and there was a good chance they hadn’t. Father would try to make conversation. But the tramps said little. And we five children clammed up as if we had lost our tongues. I wanted to know where they had come from, and how they had become tramps, but of course, I too sat mute while the food disappeared. As quickly as they came, they spent just enough time to cram in their heaping plates of food, and then they stood and were ready to head out again. Mother would tell them to sit a spell, and we always knew what she was going to do, Vice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@perfprint.ca 613-283-3182, ext. 104

because it never varied all the time we lived through those Depression years. She would take a brown paper bag off the rack at the back door. Then she would go to the bake table and make thick sandwiches of whatever meat we had had for dinner. Always she would tuck in cookies or a big piece of pie, and then she would go to the ice box and with the ice pick chip off big slivers of ice and put them into a glass jar that at one time held pickles or preserves, and fill it with cold water from the granite pail. Often I would see the tramp wipe his eyes with the back of his hand, as he thanked Mother and tucked the bulging paper bag into the sack he carried on the end of a short pole resting on his shoulder.

had come, out the back door and down the hill, making his way to the railroad tracks. I knew he would be waiting until the next freight train rounded the corner at the very back of the farm. It would slow down to handle the curve in the track, and Father said this was where they would jump on the train and go off to goodness knows where. We never saw the same tramp twice. And they came in all shapes and sizes, and all ages. Some of them, I thought, were no more than boys...young like my three brothers. And I would wonder why they were tramps, and my brothers weren’t. And then one day I learned at least a partial answer to that question. The young tramp that rapped on our kitchen door that day was whip thin, and as clean as a whistle. His hair was coal-black, and slicked down, showing that he had taken more than a quick wash in the river. Just as he finished tucking into his second piece of pie he asked Father for a job. He talked more than any other tramp we had ever fed. He was what was called a “home boy”. He came from England as a 12-year-old, he said, from an orphanADVERTISING 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

age. He was sent to a farm in the Ottawa Valley, where he suffered from abuse and endless hours of labour. Father told him there was no money for a hired man, and besides we had three strapping boys to do the chores. But the tramp persevered. He told Father if he could sleep in the barn, and have three meals a day, and a Flat-Fifty of cigarettes every Saturday night, he would work for nothing. And that was how one of those tramps who rode the rails and depended on the generosity of others, became our hired man. He really became a member of the family, and I would often see Father slip the man, who was really a boy, a dollar when he could spare it. The tramps were a symbol of that era. We knew not where they had come from, or where they were going. It mattered little what time of year it was...winter or summer, almost daily we could count on seeing a tramp coming up over the West Hill. And they were never turned away. They came hungry, and they left with full bellies and enough food to take them to the next stop on their endless journey. • 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.

whether or not they used the electricity, or the time of day it was used with time of use smart meters, and neither does Hydro One. No one can double check whether his or her actual or estimated bills are either accurate, or even close. I have also seen on many occasions where Hydro One provides only estimated bills for up to a year, causing huge burdens and catch up bills for many. And if you refuse to pay, you could be literally left out in the cold. That’s what you get from a monopoly: worsening customer service, increased costs and less accountability. To be fair, Hydro One’s customer service isn’t entirely its own fault; many of their failings are due to the fact they have to force you to pay for the failure of the Ontario Green Energy Act. When the Liberals introduced the Green Energy Act in 2009, I warned Ontario’s Legislature that the only way the Liberals

could pay for their plan to pick winners, was by most everyone else becoming losers. The only way we could pay for over-priced electricity from wind turbines on beautiful Amherst Island, or solar panels in Lanark County would be by gouging every other person in this province. It’s sad to realize that every time the sun shines or the winds blow in Ontario each of us gets soaked with another big unverified electricity bill. All while knowing that Hydro One has shut down our low-cost electricity generators such as hydro and nuclear, and is paying our neighbouring provinces and states to take our “green energy” off our hands. We obviously need more competition and more choice for Hydro One customers and fewer politicians insisting on dumb smart meters and even dumber “green economics.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters busy planning for 40th anniversary celebration this September

Tickets available for Sept. 14 anniversary dinner To celebrate this special anniversary the agency is planning an Anniversary Dinner on Sept. 14 at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club.

opportunity to apply for the CIBC Youthvision Scholarship. The scholarship involves three partner agencies, CIBC, YMCA and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. This year, we are beyond thrilled to announce that one of our Littles, Rayna, has won the scholarship. Rayna is one of only 33 students across Canada that were selected for the scholar-

ship and she is BBBS of Lanark County’s first recipient. We couldn’t be more proud. The scholarship begins in Grade 10 and follows the recipient through their postsecondary years, up to a maximum of six years. The scholarship focuses on educational success, community engagement and mentorship. Rayna’s Big Sister, Elizabeth, has

agreed to stay on with Rayna throughout her years in high school and university to offer her the support and mentoring that a Big Sister often gives. As the recipient of the scholarship, Rayna will be eligible for a summer internship each year and her tuition will be paid for by CIBC. We See BBBS page 19

Open House


What consumers need to know about moving into storage EMC News – Canadians-on-themove often need storage to fit their lifestyle choices. Folks should contract with a company that is reputable and that offers physical safety for their stored household effects. Ensuring that your goods are protected in advance is much easier than trying to make a claim afterwards. Here’s what you need to know as you search for storage space. Make sure you completely understand the services that a moving and/or storage company is offering you, your responsibilities, the financial liability of the company in case of damage to or loss of your goods, the security of the storage space and your ability to access your goods while they are in storage.

Remember that if you intend to move into a mini-storage facility, the facility is only responsible to you for the rental of the space, and takes no responsibility for the contents of that space. Ask about any additional charges. There may be a non-recurring warehouse wrapping and handling charge. Make sure you have a complete list of the articles that are going to be stored. You may have to compare your listing with the warehouse listing to get an explanation of your storage charges. The monthly storage rate is based on either the volume or weight of containers, or a combination of the two. The company may also have a minimum charge for storage. You will pay more for large, bulky items or ones with an unusual size

this week in

or shape. You will also pay more if you pack your cartons poorly. Always visit the storage facility to see if it is clean, dry and rodent-free. Enquire about climate control. Check out their security system. Check to see how property is stored. Sofas and other large upholstered items should be wrapped with protective materials. Finished furniture should be wrapped. Rugs should be mothproofed, wrapped and placed onto racks. Mattresses, mirrors, pictures and other large, fragile items should also be wrapped. Refrigerators and freezers should be serviced. You may need to remove some items from storage early. Identify these items at the outset so the warehouse can place

them into an easily-accessible spot as the goods are being moved in. It is recommended that consumers who place household goods into storage should purchase depository insurance. For full protection, insure your goods to value and, for this protection, you will pay a monthly premium with the storage charges. If the goods are not insured to full value, you will suffer a penalty in the event of a loss. Regardless, the storage company will not accept responsibility for fragile articles that you pack yourself. The storage company also will not accept responsibility for the mechanical, electrical or electronic functions of pianos, radios, clocks, refrigerators, television and stereo sets, etc. Neither will the com-

pany accept responsibility for articles in drawers, trunks, cases, etc., nor for loss or damage from any other cause, unless depository insurance is purchased. Contact the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) for assistance in finding an ethical moving and storage company who will provide professional moving and storage services – a mover that subscribes to CAM’s code of ethics, meets CAM’s business standards and commits to mediation in the unlikely event of a dispute. Your best protection in reducing your risk to your worldly possessions is to hire a reputable company at the outset. For more information, visit the Canadian Association of Movers online at www.mover.net.

ELGIN DAYS

EMC Events – Elgin Days was a huge success over the weekend with lots of activities for kids of all ages. The bouncy castle was one of the popular stops along the way.

Camden Black feeds the goat some grass, above. Below, Christopher McAllister and Cameron Deed check out the bunnies.

Diane Warren and Carol Haapala of the Elgin Lions Club sell tickets under the shade of umbrellas, but it didn’t do much against the heat of the weekend. Below, Ava and Emma Clark feed the goats.

‘Invisible’ brain injury can happen at any time EMC News – It can happen in the blink of an eye. To children. To parents. To you. To me. June marked National Brain Injury Awareness month. But brain injury is a hard thing to explain to people who have never gone through it, because brain injury is something we can’t see. Susan Saucier has been an integral part of Regional Community Brain Injury Services, an arm of Providence Care St. Mary’s on the Lake Hospital in Kingston, for nearly 20 years. She set up the Brockville office and began outreach services in Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

BBBS From page 10

will be providing a snack and a drink for each person, however you may want to bring some money for additional drinks or canteen items. Siloki is located at 123 Poonamalie Road in Smiths Falls. The event will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. and is free. Transportation is to be provided by Bigs or parents. A reminder will go out to matches and families closer to the date for the RSVP deadline. Our group activities are a great way to get out and meet other matches and catch a glimpse of the big picture. Volunteer opportunities

“An acquired brain injury is defined as damage to the brain,� she says, quoting from their Strategies Handbook. “It occurs after birth and is not related to a birth disorder or a progressive disease (such as Alzheimer’s disease or multiple sclerosis). “The injury (can) be caused by a violent movement of the head (resulting from a motor vehicle crash, a fall, an assault, a sports injury, etc.); or it (can) be due to a non-traumatic cause such as stroke, tumor, aneurysm rupture, anoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain), or infection (encephalitis). “An acquired brain injury can have multiple effects, including physical, communication, thinking, behavioural

and emotional difficulties.� For each person with a brain injury, there are families and friends whose lives will never be the same again. On the third Monday of each month, Saucier leads a brain injury caregivers’ support group in Brockville, where she is reminded of the toll brain injury takes on loved ones. Some of the caregivers have spouses who have suffered debilitating strokes. Some are parents whose children struggle with brain injury because of accidents. Some are relatives of people whose brains were hurt because of disease. One mother in the support group says she wishes people would be more sensi-

tive to her son, who seems all right on the surface but who, because of the way his brain is injured, is vulnerable to abuse or manipulation every day of his life. “We take ordinary things for granted,� Saucier says. “A simple question such as ‘How are you?’ can confuse a brain-injured person if it’s a phrase you just toss off without caring about the answer.� What can we do? Read. Learn. Speak to families of brain-injured people. Ask them how it feels to be suddenly living with a person who is no longer the same as he or she once was. Ask how to help in simple ways. “The thing is,� says Saucier, “brain injury can happen to any of us at any time.�

Do you know what your kids are doing this summer?

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

children. When other moms in the neighbourhood had commitments (appointments, shopping etc.) my mother would often mind the kids next door. Moms took turns so they could do what was necessary outside the home. Today circumstances are very different. The nuclear family is much less prominent and the demands on single parents, who are becoming more and more common, are understandably increased. Those parents who are together are usually part of a dual income situation, something which is vital to pay the bills. Depending on finances parents and guardians have options today. There are summer camps and other similar programs where they can enroll their children, for a price, and know they are in good hands while they’re working. Lack of supervision What about those who can’t afford such opportunities however? It is those children I will refer to in this article. So called “latch-key kids� are a modern reality which causes me concern. In many cases children, some of them very young, are being left to their own devices year-round while their parents or guardians are at work or out for the evening. I am a daily walker and that offers me a window into the human condition. This summer I have been seeing things first-hand that is very worrisome. I realize you can’t protect people from themselves. On the other hand children under the age of consent should be properly supervised. They should also be receiving good advice when it comes to their personal safety. I believe our community is a mi-

ing bicycles these days aren’t wearing a helmet. Clearly the issues that arise when young people are left unsupervised for long periods of time go well beyond personal safety. There are numerous community issues, including vandalism, that spring from this situation. In closing I will pose this question to parents and guardians. “Do you know what your kids are doing this summer?� Do you know where they are right now? More to the point, do the parents I am referring to care? If they did presumably they would do a better job of monitoring their young charges or ensuring they are properly advised and reasonably well cared for by others. It isn’t rocket science is it! When I was young most parents were far more careful about monitoring their children and putting reasonable restrictions in place which we were expected to adhere to. There were some rules to follow in other words. Sadly that isn’t the case in far too many homes today. Somebody has to be in charge and in my world that is down to parents and guardians. I believe adults should be held re-

Reflections

crocosm of centres across Ontario and Canada. Therefore the issues I will now refer to are problems in every community because parental/ adult supervision is either lacking or non-existent. This has been an incredibly wet summer and rivers and lakes across southern Ontario are at all-time highs. We have lived in Carleton Place for 37 years. In that time I can’t recall the Mississippi River being so high and fast flowing in July. Yet every day I see children playing beside the surging river or, worse yet, jumping into the Mississippi to swim at the worst possible locations. I was so worried by what I saw last week that I went to the local Ontario Provincial Police detachment to express my concern. The OPP said they have received many similar complaints. But every time they chase the kids away, they return. An officer was immediately dispatched to act on the information I provided. But obviously the police can’t be minding children 24/7. Oh yes, the age of the children involved? I’m referring to kids between 10 to 14-years-old. It isn’t just the danger of drowning – which is very real right now – that concerns me. Our town is generally safe. But I couldn’t help but think that young girls and boys left unsupervised could easily become a target for predators. Sadly, that possibility is a fact of life in today’s world as we are all very aware. Well, most of us are aware. Clearly some parents haven’t gotten the message. Because many children are being allowed to roam the streets unsupervised at all hours of the day and night. The safety issues I see every day go beyond swimming of course. Another example is the number of small children who ride bicycles without helmets today. I see this happening everywhere. There has been a helmet law in Ontario since 1995. It applies to anyone under the age of 18. The fine for non-compliance is $75 according to the information I found on-line. And yet three of every four kids I see rid-

EMC Lifestyle – The dog days of summer are upon us. The time when temperatures soar, humidity rises and with the new school year still weeks away, the period when many children are looking for things to do, unless family vacation intervenes. This is nothing new. Kids and summer go together like strawberries and ice cream. It was the same when I was a youngster. As the school year dragged on we longed for summer and the freedom to do what we wanted to do for a couple of months. Growing up on the family farm near Stittsville summer didn’t exactly work out that way for my brother and two sisters. There was work to do, specifically helping with haying and doing the chores that are a daily reality on a farm. Still, we managed to squeeze in some R&R and earlier in our youth, before my parents purchased the farm, we enjoyed the leisurely pursuits which, to this day, continue to be a part of every summer for school age children. Kids who are too young to have a summer job or who don’t have home chores to do (a large number based on my observations) often find that the months of July and August can be excruciatingly boring. The allure of summer wears off quickly when you have nothing to do. The differences between my youth and the world the children of today inhabit are considerable of course. But boredom is a universal issue and despite all of the electronic gadgetry of the new millennium, it is clear to me young people today also have trouble finding enough to keep them occupied during the “lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.� In my youth circumstances for children were very different. In the more gentle times of the 1950s and ‘60s the majority of kids were part of a traditional (nuclear) family. In most cases dad worked every day to bring home the bacon. Mom was most likely a homemaker who, besides the considerable amount of work that goes with running a household seven days a week, was also the supervisor for her own

Burritts Rapids art program benefits children By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

EMC Arts – Deb Alexander is a passionate artist who enables children of all ages to express themselves through various mediums. For the past seven years, Alexander has been teaching youngsters to sculpt, paint, sketch, draw, woodwork and create. “Everyone has the capacity to be an artist,” said Alexander. “Life plays a big part in the path you follow.” Alexander refers to her art program as openended, which can’t easily be defined. She prefers to let the children decide what sort of art they wish to explore and the manner in which they execute their ideas. “I want the kids to come in here and tell me what they want to do,” said Alexander. “Sometimes it’s good to take them out of their comfort zone and introduce them to new mediums. Kids are very quick to tell you what they like.” Alexander has a studio in the basement of the Burritts Rapids Community Hall, which she refers to as “the kids studio.” “There’s no pressure,” said Alexander. “Kids come in here and feel safe.” Alexander said her teaching method is free direction, rather than step-by-step. She doesn’t use any art kits, but does utilize recycled materials and pieces of discarded nature in her program. “I went for a walk with one little girl down to the beach,” said Alexander. “We took a bag and gathered objects to make a mosaic. The finished product was really beautiful.” Alexander feels art should be affordable for everyone. She said you can make art out of anything, which is an important lesson for children. She likes to play a game called 20 items, where the children go around the studio collecting random objects and see what they can make out of them. “It’s a cross over between craft and art,” said Alexander. She has other jobs so she can afford to run the program the way she wants. She prefers to teach children one-on-one or in small groups of three or four. “Kids are at their best when there’s no distractions,” said Alexander. Alexander said it’s a priority for her when she gets extra money to spend it on art supplies for the

children or herself. She said as long as she has materials to create art then she is happy. “I’m very passionate about this,” said Alexander. “Its a great thing to see. Every artist is unique. Every child is unique.” She said sometimes children have a definite idea of what they want and when it doesn’t turn out exactly as they planned, they’re pleasantly surprised. Trying new things is the important part and being able to explore individual creativity. “Some parents feel art is an integral part of leisurely activities,” said Alexander. The youngest student Alexander has had started when he was two years old. “The first time he picked up a paint brush, he was amazing,” said Alexander. “He’s a brilliant painter.” Alexander chose the community hall as her studio because she fell in love with the space. She said the basement has had many lives, including functioning as a library and storage facility. “Its nice for kids to be able to come here and not be afraid of making a mess,” said Alexander. Alexander has used the upstairs portion of the community hall to put on art displays. The most recent display consisted of 18 pieces. She said the community has been very welcoming and supportive. She feels the good vibe she gets in the studio has a lot to do with the community. Currently, Alexander has 12 students, but welcomes parents to come visit her if they feel their child or children would benefit from being part of her program. She can be found at the community hall nearly every day. Her telephone number is (613)-269-3098 and her email is dalexander@ripnet.com. “Art is a good old fashioned way for kids to be able to come in and slow down for a bit,” said Alexander. “Its a good way to focus their attention.” Alexander is a trained DSW and worked in that field for a number of years, but has always found herself drawn back to art. “I’ve gravitated towards art my whole life,” said Alexander. Alexander plans to continue teaching art to children for years to come and hopes to benefit many more young minds. “I learn something new every day,” said AlexPhoto by JENNIFER WESTENDORP ander. “Kids are teachers too.

Retailer to install warning signs after employee fired following confrontation with customer about dog in hot car By JOE LOFARO Metro News

News - After one its employees in Kemptville was fired after confronting a customer who left his dog in a car on a hot morning, Walmart Canada says it will install signs in its parking lots across Canada warning shoppers about the dangers of leaving children and pets in hot vehicles. Walmart Canada issued a statement on its Facebook page just before noon last Thursday saying that it is a major supporter of animal rights and denying the termination was over the employee’s move to confront the customer. “We want you to know that the associate in question was absolutely not let go for trying to help a dog in a locked car. The decision to dismiss an associate is one that we take extremely seriously and must follow a comprehensive process,� the statement said. “With respect to the recent story in the media about our Kemptville store, as per our protocol, the store manager did speak to the customer in question about the dangers of leaving a dog in a hot car.� The former employee, Carla Cheney, a pharmacy technician, said she called police Tuesday when she saw a man leave his dog in a truck in the parking lot. She said the SPCA had advised her to call 911 after a similar incident that happened at the store a week earlier. About 30 minutes before her shift started, she said she saw a Newfoundlander dog jump out of the window of a customer’s car twice as the man tried to enter the store. The third time the man put the dog back in the car and left the window open just an inch.

When a police officer showed up and went inside to look for the man, the customer came out and drove his car by Cheney and her associates who were outside at a picnic table. “I then said to him, ‘you know, you shouldn’t leave your dog in the car.’ He said it was none of my business. I said that that was fine, but if I did see it again I would be calling the police,� said Cheney. “He said he wouldn’t be shopping at Walmart. I said, ‘OK.’� She said she believes the man made either a written or verbal complaint because later that day she was asked to come to her boss’s office to tell her side of the story. “ “So I gave it to him. He told me I needed to go to him with any further problems. I said I didn’t feel comfortable doing that as I had already tried to go to him with a problem a week before. So that if I did see something unsafe, I would just go ahead and call the police without notifying him,� Cheney recalled. “He said, ‘Then as of now you are terminated.’� She said she believes her boss only decided to fire her after she voiced her disagreement with his instruction on how to deal with future incidents. She said she was told she was fired for “being rude to a customer.� “He brushed me off and said there was nothing I could do,� said Cheney. She said even if she was given her job back, she wouldn’t feel comfortable returning to work because of the way she was walked out of the Photo by JOE MORIN store after handing in her badge and her vest. Carla Cheney recently lost her job at the Kemptville “I was really embarrassed the way I was escortWalmart. ed out like a criminal, basically,� said Cheney.

Walmart controversy

The story surrounding the termination of Carla Cheney’s employment from the Kemptville Walmart store has turned into a nationwide media sensation. More than 11,000 members of a Facebook group entitled “Animal Rights for Kemptville Walmart� is proof enough of the outrage felt by local residents and the nation at large. The Facebook group has opted to boycott the business, in hopes of demonstrating their views on animal rights above company protocol. People have utilized social media as the outlet for their anger regarding Cheney’s termination. The media has taken full advantage of the heated emotions caused by the undertone of animal rights within the story, publishing and reporting upon the events to the fullest extent. A handful of protesters stood on the road in front of Walmart on July 12, waving signs to demonstrate their condemnation of Cheney’s termination and the events that led up to it. Since being terminated, Cheney has acquired a lawyer. Meanwhile, Walmart has issued statements making it clear that the decision to dismiss an associate is taken very seriously and follows a comprehensive process. They have insisted that the specific reasons for Cheney’s termination can’t be disclosed out of respect for the associate in question and privacy reasons. Currently, the events surrounding Cheney’s termination are a matter of he-said, she-said. This unfortunately causes much confusion.

Residents waiting, hoping for a miracle The bankruptcy followed years of efforts on the part of the municipality and the Ministry of the Environment to have the septic tank problems dealt with. The municipality was finally directed by the MOE to comply with the Ontario Water Resources Act directors report by emptying the holding tank of sewage system number three to prevent the discharge of raw sewage into the surrounding area. The park has five subsurface sewage systems that were installed between 1970 and 1976. The mobile home park office is served by one separate septic system. On July 9 the municipality sent out a letter to residents of the park telling them that a recent detailed Engineer’s Assessment Report on the state of the park’s sewage system had forced the municipality to come to the decision that nothing more could be done for it. The letter stated: “There are no easy solutions to fixing the systems. It is estimated that the cost of removal and replacement of this private infrastructure is over $750,000.00. The municipality cannot afford to pay this amount. Despite our best efforts, no potential buyer has come forward with the ability to buy the land and replace the systems. “Unfortunately we see no viable options which would allow the residents to continue living on the property.”

The park’s non-existent owner has 30 days to provide a report setting out how the problem will be addressed. Following the report there is a 60-day grace period when the work has to be done.

“Everyone is throwing the ball around and nobody wants to fix the problems.” MAURICE DUMOULIN

The municipality believes at the moment that there will be no report or work done and the residents will have to leave. “We want to stay here,” said Maurice Dumoulin the president of the Fetherston Mobile Home Park Community Association. “Everyone is throwing the ball around and nobody wants to fix the problems,” he said. Dumoulin said that 90 per cent of the homes in the park cannot be moved. The community association has lots of plans. They feel as a group they could look after their park. They currently, and since the bankruptcy, forward all of their correspondence and funds regarding living in the park to a Kemptville lawyer. They make sure the temporary holding tank is emptied every week. “It is a nice place to live,” said Dumoulin. “People have invested everything they have in this place and most likely will not be able to sell their homes.”

Dumoulin said the association will “fight to the end.” Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark has been asked to do what he can to help out the residents of the park. He has written a letter to the Honourable Linda Jeffrey. the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. The letter states, “It is my understanding, based on its experience to date, the municipality is not optimistic that the necessary improvements will happen. “This of course, means the residents of the park are likely to receive formal orders to prevent them from occupying their units. As you can imagine, this situation has devastated park residents.” Clark said, “I’ve heard from residents who have been paying mortgages on their units for several years and now face the prospect of not only losing any equity they have in their residences, but possibly finding themselves homeless within a matter of months.” Clark has asked the province to be part of the solution for park residents. North Grenville CAO Brian Carré said, “We have exhausted everything we can do.” Since the 2008 bankruptcy of the park the North Grenville council has supported ways to bring new ownership to the park as well as helping park residents where they could. Carré was disappointed that new ownership could not be found, despite everyone’s best efforts.

Fetherston Mobile Home Park community association president Maurice Dumoulin is waiting to see what the province and municipality can do to save the park. He is standing in front of his home where he has completed several landscaping projects over the years. He would like the residents of the park to be able to take over its operation.

Statistics offer community snapshot jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

News – North Grenville is a booming community, but the numbers behind the growth are essential to understanding the economic and sociological patterns. In 1996, North Grenville had a population of roughly 12,500. In 2012, the population was recorded as 15,085 by Statistics Canada. The number of households within the community is currently 6,160. This indicates a steady increase in population over the past 16 years. It is also important to note that North Grenville’s population is older than the provincial average. According to a survey conducted by McSweeney and Associates, roughly 90 per cent of North Grenville residents have a certificate, diploma or degree. The North Grenville average household income is lower than the Ontario average. However, the median household income is higher than that across the province. An examination of the employed labour force data indicates that a large portion of residents leave North Grenville daily to work. This demonstrates that North Grenville is a good place to live, but offers insufficient employment for residents, creating a commuter community in the process. The unemployment rate in North Grenville is 5.2 per cent, which is lower than the provincial average of 8 per cent. The average cost of a dwelling in North Grenville is $344,918, which is actually lower than the provincial average of $426,787. North Grenville is primarily an English speaking community, with 80 per cent of the population speaking only English. More than 36 per cent of residents indicated that North Grenville is a pleasant place to live because it is a friendly community. A further 20 per cent felt it was due to the small town atmosphere. Likewise, 20 per cent of residents indicated it was because of the amount of green space available in the community.

Roughly 11 per cent felt it was due to the amenities, such as schools, hospital and police services. Nearly 38 per cent of residents indicated North Grenville would be a better place to live if there were more facilities, such as an indoor pool and movie theatre. Roughly 23 per cent felt improved parks and green space would make the community more enjoyable. There was a tie between improved local transportation and more retail and dining options, with 14 per cent of residents indicating those alterations being essential to the improvement of the community. More than 45 per cent of residents value the small town atmosphere and heritage of North Grenville the most. A further 37 per cent felt the people were the best aspect of the community.

South Nation watershed and heritage depicted in new book EMC News – The faded black and white cover photo of three young lads holding long bamboo fishing poles sets the tone of ‘Our Watershed, Our Heritage,’ a collection of stories and reminiscences of life along the South Nation River and its tributaries. The 136-page tome was produced by South Nation Conservation to celebrate its 65th anniversary. The milestone occurred last year, but collecting the stories, editing, design, layout and publishing spilled into 2013, said Ronda Boutz, SNC team leader, communications and outreach. SNC chairman Bill Smirle has ensured that all contributors receive a free copy of the collection. Copies can be purchased for $10 through the SNC office in Finch. “This book brings to life the history of the river and its inhabitants,” Smirle wrote in a message at

the beginning of the publication. “Please take a moment to reflect on these stories as we continue to work together to enhance our quality of life and protect our natural resources.” In his own seven-page entry in the book, Smirle recalls such memories as crossing the old iron bridge west of Berwick over the South Nation River in the late 1940s and early ‘50s. Riding in their dad’s 1940 Chevrolet, Smirle and his sisters held their breath hoping they’d get safely across. The bridge was closed to traffic many years ago and, in 2012, cut up and hauled away for scrap. “I almost hated to see it go.” The SNC was formed in 1947 after the provincial government passed enabling legislation the previous year. The book contains some French language entries as well as the English stories and

also has a French title: “Notre bassin versant, notre patrimoine.” “Our decision was to publish submissions in the language they were received in,” Boutz commented. “Because of the cost and time involved, we never intended a fully translated book.” Along with Smirle, some well-known area residents contributed to the book, including former municipal politician and farmer Estella Rose of South Mountain who remembers joining cows in the South Nation near Cass Bridge to cool off: “The cows didn’t seem to mind sharing.” Winchester-area farmer and agricultural activist Jackie Pemberton, chair of SNC’s clean water committee, loved when the river flooded in the spring and “we floated around all day on makeshift rafts” after the school buses were cancelled.

Russell’s Baird McNeill recounts years of wildlife observations made from his deck/perch right over the Castor River – a South Nation tributary – along with the strange tale of building a makeshift dam. These days, residents are discouraged from installing unauthorized dams. Writing in French, Rosaire Dupont, a retired Curran dairy farmer, describes trapping muskrat and beaver along the South Nation when prices made the pursuit worthwhile. Since trapping the animals has slowed to a trickle, they’ve become major obstructions to farm drainage systems, Dupont contends. “There quite a mix of anecdotes and recollections in the book,” Boutz noted. “It’s an easy, interesting read, especially for those who live in the area or have roots here.”

LOCAL NEWS

EMC News – According to provincial indicators, North Grenville is in good financial shape. An independent audit of North Grenville was presented to council on July 8 by Howard Allan of Allan Chartered Accountant Professional Corporation. “Interestingly enough, if you look at municipality expenditures, we ended up in the positive,� said Allan. “We had budgeted for a deficit.� The five-year financial review of the municipality highlights some good points and some bad regarding the handling of municipal financial affairs. “You’ve paid down debt this year,� said Allan. “The municipality has a net debt of $14.1 million.� Allan said this is not unusual for a municipality that has gone through a phase of improving infrastructure. North Grenville’s financial assets currently sit at $10,699,399. However, the municipality’s liabilities total $24,831,031. In simpler terms, the municipality is owed over $10 million, but owes over $24 million, which is where the net debt originates. The net debt dropped from $15,328,177 in 2011 to $14,131,632 in 2012. In terms of non-financial assets, otherwise referred to as tangible capital assets such as roads, the municipality has seen an increase of $2,048,730 from $68,445,347 in 2011 to $70,494,077 in 2012. The municipality is showing equity of $56,362,445, which has increased by over $3 million from the previous year. The net financial assets for North Grenville increased by $1,196,545 in 2012. “Tax revenues have grown by 1.2 million dollars,� said Allan. “Overall revenue has grown by four million dollars.� In terms of the budget for 2012, the municipality exceeded nearly all expectations with regards to revenue. The budget indicated an expected $16,560,318 in revenues, but the municipality received $17,503,986 in revenues in 2012. However, the expenditures in 2012 totaled $17,370,640, which left a net revenue (expenditures) from operation of $133,346. “The long-term debt is coming down,� said Allan. “The municipality has contributed to net financial assets this year.� The municipality has also seen an increase in cash, which has grown by $1,343,033 from $6,216,884 in 2011 to $7,559,917 in 2012.

“We have a long range financial plan,� said Allan. Overall, the municipality has improved financially between 2011 and 2012. “The municipality should increase reserves,� said Allan. The total reserve funds increased by $384,420 from $1,671,762 in 2011 to $2,056,182 in 2012. The total reserves also increased from $1,642,776 in 2011 to $2,092,546 in 2012. The reserves and reserve fund balances for North Grenville were $3,314,538 at the beginning of 2012. By the end of the year, they increased by $834,190 to $4,418,728. “Fifteen per cent of operating revenues came from the province this year,� said Allan. “It used to be that many capital expenditures were funded by the province, but now the province is trying to make municipalities self sustaining.� Allan said that tax arrears have gone down 10 per cent, which according to provincial indicators means the municipality is in good financial shape. “Overall, 2012 was a good year,� said Allan. “North Grenville’s financial position improved to the tune of one million dollars.� In 2012, the municipality allocated $5,721,768 for salaries, wages and employee benefits, which accounts for roughly a third of total expenditures. In 2011, the municipality allocated $5,305,478 for salaries, wages and employee benefits. This represents an increase of $416,290 between 2011 and 2012. Allan said the municipality should keep going in the direction it is. He also said most issues pertaining to the audit were housekeeping issues, but that he had talked to management about them. Councilor Terry Butler commented that the municipality is collecting more revenue, but spending more too. “Spending has gone up,� said Allan. “The municipality has to try to balance the budget on ongoing basis. I think we’ve had a lot of growth, which has resulted in revenue, but also spending.� Butler questioned the concept of tangible assets, stating that, “in the business world, an asset is something you can sell and get cheap money. Roads can’t be sold.� The audit states that the roads are a tangible asset worth $14 million. “I agree that it would be tough to sell roads,� said Allan. “In the past, we never put a value on equipment. Those numbers reflect what we’ve spent on paving the roads, which depreciates over time. The municipality wants to be in a position where we put in reserve enough money to bring assets back to original value.�

KDH welcomes new board member EMC News - The Kemptville District Hospital Board of Directors has named Doreen Ulrichsen to its board effective June 27, 2013. A Registered Nurse, Ulrichsen brings to the KDH board a wealth of experience in the health sector, including nine years as director of care for the longterm care home, Providence Manor in Kingston, Ont. Prior to that appointment, Ulrichsen worked with the South East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) in Kingston for 17 years as a case manager, working closely with clients to connect them to home care, long-term care destinations, and other services in their community. Ulrichsen is a relative newcomer to North Grenville, having moved to Kemptville with her husband Tom on her retirement in 2009. She reports that she has watched with excitement the many changes that have taken place in the last four years in what is undoubtedly one of Eastern Ontario’s fastest growing municipalities. She considers KDH one of the biggest assets in the communities it serves, and is eager to start making a contribution to the governance of the hospital. A self-declared “rookie� at governance, Ulrichsen chose to put her name forward for the KDH board for several reasons. “Now that I’m retired and have more free time,� she said. “I welcomed the opportunity to stay involved in the health sector as a volunteer and to become more involved in my new community.� The board of 16 members was pleased to welcome Ulrichsen as its newest member.

“We are very happy that Doreen has joined our board,� said Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the Chair of the Board of Directors. “With her extensive background in healthcare, she brings skills and knowledge that will nicely complement our Board as we pursue our mission of building healthier communities.� Ulrichsen has a Bachelor of Nursing degree from the University of Victoria, British Columbia.

ditorial – One of the best quotes about Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s cabinet shuffle on Monday came not from the usual political pundits on Parliament Hill, but unintentionally from Canadian movie director Ivan Reitman. The Kindergarten Cop director, in a conversation with Maclean’s magazine, was asked about the long awaited Ghostbusters III. Interviewer Brian D. Johnson asked, “If they can reboot Star Trek, there’s no reason you can’t reboot Ghostbusters.” To this, Toronto-raised Reitman replied, “We’re not talking about rebooting it, because the original works just fine. It’s about whether there’s a whole other story to tell.” And therein lies the problem for Harper. Harper is planning another prorogation and a Throne Speech this fall. We’ve been down this road before – in fact, the prorogations are getting hard to discern from each other these days. Back in 2010, Harper said he needed to “recalibrate” his government with a prorogation. Now he faces a different situation. Now he has his longed-for majority government. But does he want to simply reboot his government, or start telling a new story? Maybe a little more fiscal sanity, a little less going for the jugular. Maybe acting more like the adults are in charge, than ordering Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) interns to heckle Liberal leader Justin Trudeau or run ads with Trudeau taking his shirt off. Is this really the best use of their time? Already, the morning after the shuffle, came word from Global News that a “friend and enemy stakeholder,” list was included in the briefing books for new ministers. This

L

is by no means the equivalent of Richard Nixon’s “enemies list,” but it is not common, and certainly somewhat creepy, to officially list someone as, essentially, an enemy of the state: but then, this is a government which has, essentially, blacklisted environmental groups. In fairness to Harper, he admitted outside of Rideau Hall on Monday that “obviously, we’re always looking at ways we can continue to evolve to address new challenges and improve our performance.” Good to see a little humility. It is also very encouraging to see that Harper has appointed more women, and younger women at that, to cabinet. This is to be encouraged, and puts lie to the charge from the opposition – as witnessed by a 2008 election bumper sticker of Harper, claiming to women that ‘He’s just not that into you,’ – that Harper has something against women. Things will get interesting now in terms of how backbenchers will react to this news. For every renegade MP who has broken ranks to sit as an independent, or faced the wrath of the Tory front bench in pushing the speaker to allow them to speak without pre-approval from the PMO, they are now stewing in their offices, burning and seething in the knowledge that they did not make it into cabinet this time and, in all likelihood, will never make it into cabinet at this rate. So long as they don’t do anything foolish like vote against the budget, what’s the point of towing the party line? Just as loose cannon candidates for the Wildrose party in Alberta helped snatch defeat from the jaws of victory last year, Harper may find the 2015 federal vote his hardest yet.

Someone’s been messin’ with the pheasants

ifestyle - We keep losing pheasants. Now, pheasants are fussy little critters to begin with. When you get them, they are each about the size of a loonie. You put them in a coop full of hay and they immediately burrow underneath the bedding, where they are in danger of getting stepped on. So you make them a smaller, contained unit and as they grow you expand its borders. You also have to make sure to keep their coop draft-free. Hang blankets in the windows for the first few weeks to cover the cracks, at least until warmer spring weather arrives. After a couple of seasons raising pheasants, we have figured out how to keep them alive. For the most part. We have chicken wire in the corners of the log-barn chicken coop, to keep the feathered creatures in and the furry creatures out. But somewhere on our farm, there is a little Houdini pheasantstealer. We have no idea how he is getting in – or getting the pheasants out. He must be shimmying down a wire from the ceiling and then shimmying back up again, pheasants in hand and mouth. He leaves no trace. The num-

bers just keep dwindling. We started with about 50 chicks when we started in early spring, I think. Now we are down to just 7. On occasion, we catch thieves in the act of stealing turkeys and chickens from the bigger pen, which is wide open to the rest of the barn. The selected snacks are found in the aisle, sometimes with marks on them, as someone removed them none-too-gently from the safety of their pens. These birds, though saved from death because they are just too awkward to carry, have to be quarantined from the other birds until their wounds heal, or they might get attacked and killed by their own kind, in a weird survival-of-the-fittest practice. I don’t have much to do with the

birds on our farm. I find them smelly, and the chickens like to peck my ankles. I don’t mind the turkeys – they are polite and quite sociable. I am sorry to hear the pheasants are disappearing but I am even less likely to head into their coop to check on them now, for fear of encountering a murder scene or some scary biting weasel-like creature. The Farmer has seen skunks and raccoons in the barn in the past, but they are usually pretty easy to spot. Whoever has been stealing our pheasants is much more elusive. At first, the blame was being directed at my colony of barn cats. They get a big scoop of food to share each day and they certainly aren’t starving, but their food of choice is always fresh rodents around the farm. After all, that’s why we have barn cats. So that I don’t ever have to see a rat and the Farmer doesn’t have to come across one of those long slithery things that rhymes with ‘cake’. I told the Farmer that my cats are not interested in chasing and killing his penned birds. They prefer a good chase on an equal playing field. It’s all about the hunt for them. Besides, if they had killed his birds, it is far more likely that

the tiny little bird offerings would end up on my back porch, right beside my shoes, as trophies or offerings. I could tell the Farmer was considering this theory and coming to agreement with me. So if it wasn’t the barn cats, who was it? Then one day the pheasant-stealer, like all criminals in the end, made a fatal mistake. He left a tiny tuft of black fur on some of the chicken wire. A-ha! It’s probably a skunk, albeit a scentless one. Usually we can track the comings and goings of skunks on the farm by

following their distinctive perfume wafting through the air. This one seems to have learned to mask his odour somehow, at least while he is in the pheasant-stealing act. And so my cats are off the hook. As I watch them wandering past the back porch on their way to the mousefilled meadow, I mentally catalog their colours.

How will first responders in the community be trained to deal with a spill and the consequences thereof? I look forward to hearing from you and learn of what plans the Council of North Grenville decides to take with regards to informing its residents about this important issue.

Editorial – My mother often told me to never assume. The ability to look at something subjectively, without jumping to conclusions or allowing bias to influence opinion, is a nearly impossible thing to do. I have been guilty of assuming on many occasions, as have we all. As I matured and got beyond the world of high school, I learned to take both sides of a story and break them down into pieces in order to find the middle ground. The truth can only be found in the correlating facts of two points of view. As a journalist, I have a responsibility towards the community I serve to report the facts as they are presented to me, without inserting my opinion or thoughts on the matter. Opinions are for editorials, not newspaper articles. A media hailstorm hit Kemptville this past week. A former Walmart employee, by the name or Carla Cheney, was fired. This is what I know. As to the exact reason for her termination, I don’t have

that they are more focused on generating profit than angering mobs of animal lovers. Everyone needs to take a step back and analyze the facts, rather than jumping on board the hearsay train. Corporations may be greedy, but evil dog killers seems a bit far-fetched. In my opinion, the truth will come out in the end.

The fact is that she was terminated after confronting a customer. A single word can make all the difference between accuracy and rumor. Walmart has made it clear that it will not release the specifics regarding Cheney’s termination out of respect for the associate and privacy reasons. The story could have two outcomes – either Walmart truly hates dogs, so much so that they would fire an employee for attempting to help one; or Cheney disregarded company protocol and was let go for not adhering to Walmart rules and regulations. For some reason, I would hesitate to believe that Walmart as a corporation seeks to harm animals. I am positive

and significant economic loss as a result. Surely, we can shift our thoughts out of the dark ages and into more creative, more progressive and sustainable ideas. It's not about trains vs pipelines. It's about reducing our dependency on oil and building on existing alternatives (yes, there are existing alternatives). As well, it's about ensuring the highest level of safety and environmental standards are upheld in the transportation of fossil fuels while we remain dependent on them. I have grave concerns on the concept of upgrading a half-century old pipeline intended for transporting natural gas (a gas) to transport bitumen (a viscous liquid). As Mayor of North Grenville, you have a responsibility to the community to take a leadership role on this issue. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to invite residents to learn more about this proposal and share their concerns. Perhaps then, you will also have a better understanding of where residents in the community stand on this issue. These are just a few questions I have that I'm hoping you can answer: - Where is it in the process? (ie. when can we expect a public consultation) - Has a formal environmental assessment been done?

GARDENER’S CORNER

People and Poultry As the last car left the driveway, the skies opened up. It had been a light misty rain for most of the afternoon but that won’t slow down a gardener. Today was the day we had invited readers to visit our garden. It was such a pleasure to meet some new people with our common interest. And our regulars Ken and Sheila, Rick and Crystal and Judi came down to see what they had only read about. When you read something, you have a mental picture of how things should look. I was concerned that our garden wouldn’t live up to those expectations. I shouldn’t have. With the help of Tom ( one of the guys on our landscape crew) our son Carl and Angie’s sister Alison, we had a full court press yesterday to make the grounds presentable. Not perfect, presentable. My cousin Ruth and her husband Dave came down from Stittsville to help out. Larry and Nancy sent over a cooler filled with ice cold water for the visitors. I know that I do this for a living but it was so much fun for Angie and I to spend time with avid gardeners and all the folks that support our efforts. Most of the questions surprised us. It wasn’t the showy stuff or the things that were in bloom that people wanted to know about. It was the unusual or hidden gems that we have tucked away in the weeds. And everyone wanted to find out how the ducklings were doing. On that front, the news is not the best. We have a fox. The fox has taken three of the laying hens and one of the ducklings. On Thursday Angie was weeding and heard

THE EMC - K9 - Thursday, July 18, 2013

a commotion in the pond. The fox had another duckling by the leg. Angie grabbed the big landscape rake and took after the fox swinging like a Ninja. The fox dropped the duckling and headed for the corn field. The poultry is now all in lockdown. Free range hens do not like to be penned up. The ducks seem relieved with the security of Duck Hilton. I’m carrying the wounded duck to the bath tub every morning and lift her out and put her back in the duck house every night. I’m not sure that she is a she but I just have this feeling. After the run in with the fox, they would not leave the pond. I grabbed the kayak and herded the ducks to the edge of the pond. Tom was there to get our wounded duck to the duck house. The healthy one was really spooked and gave us a merry chase but he’s safe now. Now they are in the enclosure, the healthy duckling always puts himself between the wounded one and any potential threat. It was such a pleasure to talk to the readers about plants and so painful to tell them about the ducks. They are as invested as we are. When you sit here and peck away at the keyboard, you have no idea how it affects the reader. Today we found out. My baby ducks are their baby ducks. Our garden is their garden. I love this job.

Dear Editor; The following is an open letter shared with the Advance. Dear Mayor Gordon, I listened with interest to the CBC interview this morning about the proposed east-west TransCanada pipeline through Ottawa and North Grenville, and that would cut through sensitive ecosystems along the Rideau River. You said in the interview that you have "not heard a thing" from the residents of North Grenville, and do not believe there is any real concern. Let me be the first to formally express my concern with this proposal. To my knowledge, there has been no outreach to residents giving them the opportunity to raise concern. I have seen a total of one article in the local paper, with no invitation to learn more about how this proposal will impact the local environment. This isn't just about jobs, Mr. Gordon, and in fact, I question how many jobs it would actually sustain in the long run. This proposal will have serious impacts on the Rideau River watershed. I'm sure you're aware of the many recent oil spills from pipelines that have caused incredible environmental damage, loss of jobs,

Organics collection program recommended to council By JENNIFER WESTENDORP jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The North Grenville waste reduction committee recommended to the Committee of the Whole to approve an organics pick-up program for the municipality on July 15. “A full organics separation program is our recommendation,” said Sean Ward, a volunteer with the waste reduction committee. The municipality currently diverts 30 per cent of its waste. However, an organics pick-up program could potentially double that figure and put the municipality way above provincial regulations in terms of waste diversion. “That’s a big 70 per cent of post-consumer products going to the landfill,” said Ward. Of that 70 per cent of waste, roughly 30 per cent is organics, such as kitchen scraps and animal waste. Ward said that in order to avoid a stagnation of waste diversion, the municipality would have to take action. “We could move the yard stick with regards to an organic pick-up program,” said Ward. “We can’t squeeze any more juice out of the orange without implementing an organic pick-up program.” Ward explained that 26 per cent of municipalities in Ontario already pick up organic materials at the curb. There are currently 117 municipalities across the province, including Perth, that have implemented successful organic collection programs. “It’s going to cost, but you can’t put a cost on greenhouse gases,” said Ward. The waste diversion committee conducted a survey that produced negative results regarding the implementation of an organics pick-up program. Out of the more than 1000 respondents, 68 per cent of residents do not want to participate in such a collection program. The survey also concluded that roughly 40 per cent of residents already practice back yard composting, which is significantly higher than the provincial average of 27 per cent. “A lot of the comments focused on the negative aspects of an organic pick-up program, like it will smell and attract rodents,” said Ward. “Things can go wrong if it’s not done right.”

The survey showed a difference between the opinions of rural and urban residents, which is designated by whether or not a residence is on town water or not. Approximately 75 per cent of rural residents stated they didn’t want to participate, while 61 per cent of urban residents didn’t want to. Ward said that because more rural residents currently practice back yard composting, it would be more feasible to implement an urban organics pick-up program, rather than a full-scale program. “We understand there is cost sensitivity,” said Ward. “We can’t afford our own municipal facility because it would require too much capital cost. The program would have to be contracted out, like the blue bin pick-up.” The cost of a full organics pick-up program would include a $20,000 marketing initiative, with a total cost of roughly $277,000.

This represents a cost of $4.14 per household each month. An urban-only program would require a $10,000 marketing initiative and a cost of $1.65 per household each month. Rural residents would not be exempt from this monthly increase. “The operating costs are less than five dollars a month,” said Ward, “which is a couple cups of coffee for most people.” Ward said that North Grenville could show environmental leadership by becoming the 118th municipality to implement an organics pick-up program. “We’ve worked very hard for the past three years on this,” said Ward. “We strongly recommend you pursue some sort of organics program, otherwise the waste diversion will flatline.” The committee also suggested a third option for consideration, which involves a low-risk leaf and garden pick-up program twice a year. The cost of this initiative would be roughly $7,000 per week, or $14,000 in total per year. “Morale wise, it would have an impact,” said Ward. The North Grenville garbage pick-up would change from once a week to once every two weeks if the organics pick-up program were implemented, due to a decrease in household waste. “If you don’t look at the survey, then what’s the point of doing the survey?” questioned North Grenville Mayor David Gordon. Gordon said that as an urban resident, as well as an avid composter, he found the survey slightly irksome. Councillor Tim Sutton said it was not right to force rural residents to pay for an urban organics pick-up program. “I have to agree with the mayor when it comes to the survey,” said Sutton. “The residents have spoken loud and clear. The people don’t want to go to an organics program at this point in time.” After much debate regarding specific wording, the Committee of the Whole finally agreed to a direction for the waste diversion committee. The municipality will not proceed at this time with an organic collection program. The Committee of the Whole directed staff to provide the costing of a leaf and garden pick-up program for the 2014 budget and continue to provide residents with blue boxes at cost. Staff was also instructed to explore the development of an urban pilot project with regards to an organic collection program.

Thomas (Tom) Cairns

On July 1, 2013, at the age of 94 Tom passed away surrounded by loving family at the Perth Hospital. He went to join Connie, his beloved wife of 70 years where no doubt they are once again “dancin’ the light fandango.” Left to cherish his memory are his daughter Pat Cairns (Marnie Dickinson) and their son Carl of Perth and sons Tom (Susan) of Cowichan Bay, BC and Bob (Maria) of Calendar, Ont. and their children Laura and Bob Jr. Tom was recently predeceased by his grandson Theo of Cowichan Bay, BC. Tom will be greatly missed by his family, friends, fellow music lovers and local business people who he dropped in on regularly. He had a smile for everyone he met and people knew him to be a kind and gentle soul. Tom and Connie were to be seen at most every music event in Perth always tapping the rhythm and singing along. The Stewart Park Festival will not be the same this year without them. In retirement Tom loved salvaging and repairing the unfixable and puttering in the workshop. Winters were spent in Florida, Bermuda and BC. He enjoyed assisting his Perth neighbours and was called upon to use his precise lettering skills that he developed during his 40 years at DeHavilland Aircraft as a draftsman. Family life was Tom’s greatest priority and leisure time was spent with his wife and children on picnics, coast to coast camping trips and Sunday drives. His hobbies included the raising of rabbits and carrier pigeons and woodworking. Our Dad was an exceptional Dad, always placing us first. He was a great role model and a hard act to follow. Family and close friends will gather to honour Tom privately. Flowers are graciously declined. Memorial donations can be made to the Stewart Park Music Festival or the Perth Hospital, Great War Memorial site.

DEATH NOTICE

ECCLES – In loving memory of Ken Eccles, who passed away July 8, 2012. God looked around His garden And found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth And saw your tired face. He put His arms around you And lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful He always takes the best. He saw the road was getting rough And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eylids And whispered “Peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you The day God called you home. His wife Madge, daughters Susan (Richard), Valerie (Aidan) and grandchildren Jordan, Jared and Kenzie

July 22, 1952- We hold you close within our hearts November 22, 2007. This would have been And there you will remain your 61st birthday. To walk beside us all our lives We miss you Until we meet again. Jim Chevy and Buffy Forever in our hearts, Murray, Steve, Allison, Ben, Laura, Greg, Martha, Chloe, Eleanor, Jennifer, Trevor

CL428276_0718

DAVISON V. Malcolm (Mac) Beloved husband to Betty (Trotter) Davison for 64 years. Peacefully on June 14, 2013 at Kingston General Hospital at the age of 86. Suddenly as a result of a stroke; Mac and his family received excellent care and support from the KGH staff. Born at home in Philipsville on February 4, 1927. Mac was pre-deceased by his parents, Hilyerd Davison and Mabel (Howard) Davison, of Philipsville, and a brother Howard Davison of Toronto. Mac was raised on the Davison farm in Philipsville and educated in Philipsville and Elgin. In 1946 Mac left home to see some of Canada. He ventured out west where he worked on a family farm in Coronation, Alberta. He then worked for Ontario Hydro from 1947 to 1949 laying tower lines all over the province of Ontario. Mac returned to Philipsville in 1949 and married his wife Betty - they lived and worked for a few months in Pembroke before coming home to take over the family farm in Philipsville. Mac was a full-time, hard-working dairy farmer for many years. As well as running the dairy farm, Mac ran a sugar bush each spring. In the summers Mac worked construction for a number of years. During the war years and as a young father in the 1950’s, Mac found time to play ball and hockey. He especially enjoyed baseball and caught and played 2nd base for the Chantry team, many exciting games occurred against teams from Jasper, Eastons Corners, Frankville and Toledo! Mac was a jack of all trades who loved working and was adaptable to any work situation. In 1968 Mac joined the County of Leeds and Grenville - he worked for the County for 22 years retiring at the age of 63. Mac and his colleagues had many exciting adventures plowing snow during raging snowstorms. There are very few roads in the County that Mac has not driven or plowed! Mac was always moving and lived by the “work before play� adage. His energy and passion for life continued throughout his retired life. He was an active member of the Delta Mill Society, Honourary Director Delta Fair Board, and the Elgin United Church. In his later years Mac indulged in his love of genealogy and history. His spent many hours sorting and researching documents about his family and community and volunteering at the Heritage Society of Bastard and South Burgess. Mac was very proud that his mother’s memoirs were published by the Heritage Society in May 2013, just a few weeks before his sudden passing. Mac is best remembered for his love of family, his friendliness, his sense of humour, amusing stories and love of sports. He loved nothing more than to be out dancing with Betty, enjoying family celebrations, talking with his many friends, or attending his grandchildrens’ many hockey and ball games, graduations and special events. Mac is survived by his wife Betty (Trotter) Davison. They were married in Philipsville on June 25, 1949. Mac is survived by 6 children. 12 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Carol (Jim) Olson (Adrienne and Alison) of Oshawa, Gayle (John) Turcotte (Crystal and Melanie) of Smiths Falls, Jim (Jennifer) Davison (Cale, Tyler and Tara) of Westerose, Alberta, Guy (Cathy) Davison (Ben and Alex) of Westport, Jill Ready (John Bell) (Cody) of Elgin and Pat (Tom) Morell (Justin and Samantha) of Rideau Ferry. Survived by one sister, Margaret McNally. Mac lived his Christian values each day as is shown in his devotion to his family and his community. His was a life “well-lived�. His family is grateful for a loving husband who was devoted to his wife, for a caring, supportive father who was always there for his children and for a “fun�, hilarious grandfather.

IN MEMORIAM

OPP reaches out to community with barbecues EMC News -There’s nothing better than the smell and taste of a barbecue on a hot summer day! Throughout the months of July and August, Kemptville O.P.P. will be hosting a series of barbecues in order to help out local charities. The O.P.P. has been hosting these barbecues for the past several years. Fundraising barbecues will be held every Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Kemptville O.P.P. headquarters, located at 236 County Road 44. In order to help out the many valuable charities within the community, Kemptville O.P.P. is connecting local businesses to local charitable organizations on this project. Each time, a local business will cover the cost of everything that is needed to put on a successful BBQ, allowing the charity of choice to gain all proceeds that are raised on that day. Thursday, July 11 kicked off the first day of this year’s fundraising barbecues. A number of community members came to the Kemptville O.P.P. station to support local North Grenville Accessible Transportation and The Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC). Thanks to Royal LePage Gale Real Estate’s kind-hearted sponsorship, beautiful weather and the generosity of Photo by JOSEPH MORIN community members, the first charity Cooking up a storm at the first O.P.P. barbecue of the summer are (left to right) staff from Royal LePage Gale barbecue of the year was a huge suc- Real Estate, Bill and Rebecca Wilson, Annie Blaine, Sylvia Hogeveen, Alexandra Smith from the Kemptville cess raising $400 for each charity.

lunch at home. Tallman Truck Centre has accepted Kemptville O.P.P.’s invitation to partner on this day’s fundraising barbecue. All proceeds from this day will be generously donated to KYC in order to help them raise much needed funds. “Tallman Truck Centre has considered involvement in the community of North Grenville an integral part of its mandate since its inception 40 years ago this year. “Ways in which we can support local youth initiatives are particularly important to us – as shown by our sponsorship of such events as the Kemptville Big Brothers/Big Sisters Ribfest or the 2012 KYC Breakfast or our direction involvement with area children in the annual Christmas parade and Halloween and Christmas parties co-hosted with BB/BS,” stated Tallman Truck Centre’s Art Soper. “We see the KYC as filling an equally important need in our community and are happy to support their efforts in providing a positive environment for youth in our area and we look forward to a long-standing relationship with the Centre.” “This is another chance for our supporters to support local youth programs in the area. “I’d like to thank Constable Cathy Lindsay and her team as well as Tallman Truck Centre for making this happen for us again.” explained Robin Heald, from Kemptville Youth Centre.

Jordan and Jesse Zlomislic, both goalies with the Kemptville Panthers, were anxious to get an autograph from hockey legend Gerry Cheevers, July 9. Foxysports (at Curiosities On King), downtown Brockville, hosted the Hockey Hall of Famer, best known for his two stints with Boston Bruins, as goaltender. He played in the National Hockey League as well as the World Hockey Association and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1985. The following day, Cheevers played in the Canadian Tire Brockville Rotary Golf Classic, held at the Brockville Country Club.

I do not have to travel half way around the world to find variety. A huge amount of processed food is based on very few food products. It may be soy or corn, but in many ways humans have decreased the variety by living on processed foods. Every one of us remembers our grandmother’s house with meat, potatoes and vegetables. Your belly would be full and your soul content. She usually had a nice apple pie or some oatmeal cookies that offered the sweet kick. There is something fundamentally wrong with filling our bags with granola bars and plastic wrapped snacks that are chalked full of sugar and salt. What joy is there in sitting down to a pre-packaged frozen dinner that has come in a box and is heated in a microwave box to be consumed in seconds? Often people subsist on foods that are nothing more than grab and eat items that offer few nutrients and completely fail to build a real diet. The best diet is achieved when you sit down and write out all the foods that you really enjoy and actually cook them for yourself. Nature offers fast food too. Try washing an apple and simply eating it. An orange comes with a peel that you manually remove and then enjoy the fruit underneath. A banana is far superior to a granola bar for that afternoon slump. The average meal takes only a half hour of your time to prepare. Why would we reroute ourselves to a store to buy a product that has questionable content, lots of salt and sugar (because it has to sit in the store for up to a year), rather than live with basic foods? Build your kitchen with a variety of real foods and surprisingly you will be able to create meals for your family on a daily basis. Imagine having a supply of meat, an actual bag of potatoes, some fresh vegetables and fruits on hand to make dinners for your family. Build baking ingredients to throw some cookies in the oven. Keep plain old oatmeal as a daily breakfast food. Use your kitchen, chop your own vegetables and before you know it, you will be eating real food again. Your health will improve and you will gain the satisfaction of knowing what has gone into a recipe. Imagine! There is no diet that is better than simply eliminating commercially processed foods and getting back to basics! Enjoy your kitchen - make it the central hub of family life as it has been for centuries. Heather Westendorp is a graduate of the University of Guelph: Food, Nutrition and Risk Management Diploma. She has also lost over 50 lbs. and is now a healthy weight, improving her health status!

CARRIER OF THE MONTH!

EMC News - Eat real food. Not too much and mostly fruits and vegetables. One of the greatest problems with the word diet is how we perceive it. We think of the word diet and immediately visions of iceberg lettuce with no dressing appear. It’s no wonder we all hate to diet. In years gone by, the whole idea of limiting, measuring and recording food lists that we do not even like, lead us to feelings of deprivation and despair. Human beings are unique in nature. We can fuel our bodies with a vast variety of foods that not many other animals can do. Can you imagine a tiger trying to live on greens or a cow trying to eat fish. Most animals are pretty boring when it comes to food. They have a limited diet specific to their needs. Humans across the planet can assimilate themselves to their surroundings and eat just about anything! We even subsist on a huge supply of scientifically produced, taste enhanced, chemically generated, molecularly altered food-like items that taste really good. There are thousands of books toting brand new food fads. Eat this, but don’t eat that and you will be miraculously cured of all your health issues. Modern civilization is glued to television sets watching the latest gourmet chef challenges. Yet, humans sit on their behinds and absorb products that are commercially produced to save time and energy. The more we watch television, play on the computer and buy food-like product, I wonder how much of our lives we really play an active role in? Food is basic. Humans plant the seeds and pull the weeds. Sunshine and rain do the rest. Animal husbandry has turned into feed lots that medically and genetically raise larger, faster growing domestic meats for consumption. When it comes to nutrition, we have learned to dissect foods down to a group of nutrients that we need on a daily basis. Somehow in the rush for science, technology and innovation, we have completely lost the art of real food. Geographically, diets varied according to JENNIFER WESTENDORP what was available on a local basis. It was cost prohibitive to move foods thousands of miles to accommodate gourmet menus. Generations froze or preserved local seasonal foods to offer variety and taste during the winter months. Granted, the variety of foods was not as large, but…compare the taste of a locally grown strawberry in season to that of a shipped in strawberry in December and you will grasp my point. Basic foods will nourish you and basic cooking will allow you to touch and feel the products that your family will enjoy for dinners. All the sauces and flavourings that we commercially purchase to flavour and speed up the meal preparation process take families away from the kitchen and throw them at the microwave. The further we stray from actually peeling a carrot and touching our food, the worse our health seems to get. A diet is quite simply the foods that we eat to help our body stay healthy and strong. There is no reason why you can’t have your favourite foods. The problem is super-sizing the portions and eliminating variety.

Young Merrickville amputee helps mark War Amps 95th anniversary at 2013 Ontario Champ Seminar EMC News - Nine-year-old Olivia Miller, of Merrickville, is back from The War Amps 2013 Ontario Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Burlington. The seminar brought together child amputees from across the province while also honouring the association’s 95th anniversary. Olivia, who was born a right arm amputee, attended the three-day seminar with her mother. Sessions focused on the latest developments in artificial limbs, parenting an amputee child and dealing with teasing and bullying. The opening session paid tribute to the long history of The War Amps, and its continuing legacy of “amputees helping amputees.�

A highlight at the seminar was the Amputees in Action session, where Champs demonstrated their standard and recreational artificial limbs and devices to the group, such as running legs and devices for biking, swimming and playing on the monkey bars. Younger Champs also had the opportunity to interact with each other at the “Play and Learn� session, while their parents shared experiences and exchanged tips. Olivia was presented with a CHAMP Ambassador Certificate for her dedication to preserving Canada’s military heritage through The War Amps Operation Legacy. Created in 1975, the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program is built on the Winner’s Circle philosophy which encourages child

amputees (Champs) to accept their amputations and develop a positive approach to challenges. The CHAMP Program, which offers comprehensive services to child amputees and their families, is unique in the world. These services provide financial assistance for artificial limbs and various recreational devices as well as emotional support through programs such as Matching Mothers, Seminars and Junior Counselling. CHAMP is funded solely through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, call 1 800 250-3030 or visit www.waramps.ca<http://www. waramps.ca/>.

Kemptville District Little League sets sights on Canadian championship By Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The Kemptville Little League has big plans for the future. With the help of dedicated volunteers and parents, the program has grown exponentially in the past few years and continues to improve upon athletic opportunities and experiences for children in the community. “2013 is a season of many successes,� said Tim Hamilton, Director of Corporate Affairs for Kemptville Little League. “Registration is up 10 per cent. It went from 230 kids in 2012 to 260 kids this year.� Hamilton made a presentation to the North Grenville council on July 8 regarding the improvements that have been made to the organization over the past year. “We’re now the biggest district in the Seaway Valley,� said Hamilton. “We have grown and will continue to grow.� Hamilton said girls’ softball has real growth potential in the community and hopes to triple registration. “The spring training program has grown from 40 kids in 2012 to 90 kids this year,� said Hamilton. “We’re very pleased about that.� Hamilton said the crowning achievement of the program is the tournaments. Last year, the league hosted one tournament. This year there were four. The tournaments began in the spring with the Wildcat shootout, which was one of only two house league tournaments in Eastern Ontario. “This year we are hosting the Little League Ontario Minor Division Championship, which is a big deal,� said Hamilton. “Teams from across Ontario will be coming to Kemptville for between five and seven days.� The championship is set to begin on July 29, with the opening ceremonies commencing at 5 p.m. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Pipes and Drums will be performing at the opening ceremony. Hamilton issued thanks to the parks and recreation department, stating that the grounds were well maintained and second to none “Other facilities can’t hold a candle to Kemptville fields,� said Hamilton. Hamilton said he couldn’t grow the program without help from parks and recreation. “We get a lot of praise from other teams that our fields are

Girls softball shows real growth potential in Kemptville. Earlier this month, the community hosted its first mytes tournament. Later this month, Kemptville District Little League will play host to the Little League Ontario Minor Division Championship. immaculate,� said Hamilton. “Players have to come to Kemptville to be able to pitch off mounds.� Hamilton said he understand that council funds are limited and has no intention of saddling municipality with debt. He said the organization has focused on private sector partnership. “We’re very lucky because local business is very involved in the

community,� said Hamilton. “We continue to improve our financial position.� According to Hamilton, organizers had projected to sell 25 outfield fence signs and sold ended up selling 44. The program has managed to quadruple the number of sponsors. “We’ve worked very hard over the past year to improve the facilities, primarily the South Gower fields,� said Hamilton. “It was a full week of eight to 10 hour days to resurrect those fields.� Hamilton said that people in the community understand the value of engaging youth and have given generously to the program. He said the goal is to promote Kemptville. “We’re determined to make Kemptville the center of youth baseball in the province,) said Hamilton. “We hope to put Kemptville on the map. Our long term goal is to bring a Canadian championship to Kemptville.� Hamilton said his own involvement in the organization stems from the desire to promote athleticism in youth, including his own son, who is a player in the Kemptville Little League. “Personally, as a volunteer running a volunteer organization, you sometimes feel unappreciated,� said Hamilton. “One thing happens that makes it all worthwhile and that’s seeing a player coming off the field with a smile on their face.� A team member of the Kemptville little League presented council with a thank you card for the grant the parks and recreation department provided to girl’s little league three weeks ago. “We do very much want to issue thanks to council,� said Hamilton. Hamilton said the program organizers had filled out the application for a Trillium Grant and had come to ask for council’s support formally. North Grenville Mayor David Gordon said the program definitely deserves the Trillium Grant. “You’re not volunteers,� said Gordon. “You’re businessmen. You run this program in a very professional manner. Your dedication has built it bigger and better. You are helping the municipality. Parents are coming here and spending money.� For further information regarding the Kemptville Little League or to become a sponsor, feel free to contact Hamilton at (613)-4828103. “We invite everyone to come down to Riverside Park on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday night and see how much it has changed from a few years ago,� said Hamilton.

DON’T DUMP IT‌ BLUE BOX IT! The simple act of recycling has more impact on the environment than the average Canadian thinks. The amount of wood and paper North Americans throw away each year is enough to heat five million homes for 200 years.

Leacock Tours retirement party raises more than $2,000 for Canadian Cancer Society By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – More than 300 clients, supporters and family members gathered June 29 to wish Mary Lou Leacock a happy retirement and show their generosity towards the Canadian Cancer Society. Leacock held a retirement party at the Toledo Royal Canadian Legion, which featured music, courtesy of Dennis Whitteker and his band, This Old Heart and Country Music, as well as dancing. Leacock recently closed her Jasper business, Leacock Tours, after 40 years in operation, offering people group air and bus trips to destinations around the world. Failing eyesight and recent cancer surgery forced the 87-year-old to close up shop. Friend Norine Morrison decorated the legion hall and arranged a special memory room, complete with photo and guest books and mementos from Leacock’s countless trips, for guests to peruse. The 30 albums stretched from 1973, when the business was established, all the way up to 2013 (with photos from everywhere from China, Africa, all over Europe, Australia and local trips, Leacock said). Shirley MacDonald prepared two large, decorated cakes for the occasion and a luncheon was also served to visitors. Daughter Eleanor Renaud, a councillor with the Township of ElizabethtownKitley, took the opportunity to present her mother with a certificate of achievement for 40 years in business on behalf of the municipality. Leacock was pleased to see so many former clients, friends and colleagues attend the party, including Frank Healey, owner of Healey Transportation. “We have done a lot of business over the years and his mom (Donna) Throughout the afternoon event, was the one that really encouraged me when I started (my business),” those who dropped in also made several Leacock said. “I was really pleased donations to the cancer society, which amounted to $2,359.65 raised.

Clark proud of Ontario PC plan to fight hunger with local food EMC News – Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark is welcoming a PC Caucus amendment to the Local Food Act that would provide a tax credit to farmers who donate their products to their local food bank. Clark was at a Queen’s Park press conference recently where it was announced the PCs are putting forward the amendment, modeled on SarniaLambton MPP Bob Bailey’s private member’s bill Fighting Hunger with Local Food Act. MPP Bailey made the announcement along with Ontario PC Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Critic Ernie Hardeman (Oxford). “The agricultural community and food banks in Leeds-Grenville have been strong supporters of this tax credit, which will ensure local families have better access to fresh, highquality Ontario food,” said Clark. “I’m pleased that we’ve brought this amendment forward and I’m hopeful the government will support it because it will make a big difference to families in my riding and across Ontario.” The proposed amendment would grant a non-refundable tax credit worth 25 per cent of the wholesale value to farmers who choose to donate their excess agricultural products to local food banks. It would also allow unused tax credits to be carried forward for up to five years. Clark noted while food banks are struggling to meet demand, every year in Ontario some 25 million pounds of fresh, quality produce is ploughed back into fields by farmers. Often, the produce was rejected by grocers for

cosmetic reasons such as size, shape or colour. “Farmers have no other option than to plough it under because of the cost involved in collecting, processing and delivering it to a food bank,” explained Clark. “Our proposed amendment to the Local Food Act would change that scenario by making use of this nutritious produce.” Among the local food banks that have expressed support for MPP Bailey’s private member’s bill is Food For All, which serves South Grenville residents. In a letter to MPP Bailey, Food For All executive director Bonnie Gommert wrote: “On behalf of the Food For All Food Bank, we would like to thank you for your efforts in introducing Fighting Hunger with Local Food.” The tax credit amendment is one of the proposed improvements the Ontario PC Caucus has brought forward to strengthen the government’s Local Food Act. Earlier this year, Clark welcomed an amendment to increase food literacy among Ontarians by requiring food education as a mandatory component of instruction for pupils in every grade. “Local food is an important issue for consumers and producers in Leeds-Grenville,” said Clark. “I’m determined to ensure the Local Food Act is comprehensive enough to fix the problems farmers and our food sector face in putting more local food on people’s plates.” Submitted by the office of LeedsGrenville MPP Steve Clark.

But my technician said it would be covered an oil leak for example. To understand how this relatively simply request can go off the rails, it’s necessary to take a look behind the scenes. First, some dealership service personnel take it personally when a customer opts to have their routine maintenance work done by another garage, and no matter how professional or experienced they are, these feelings can ruin the broth of a client transaction. Some of you may remember how comedian Jerry Seinfeld made this look very funny in the episode where his technician kidnapped Jerry’s car after he questioned an estimate and wanted to take it to another shop for a second opinion. Secondly some independent technicians may not be completely conversant in a particular carmaker’s warranty terms. For example, suspension or steering joints may exhibit play or looseness, but may be within the manufacturer’s specs and therefore not a warrantable repair. Some warranties require a physical oil leak or drip to exist before repairs are authorized and a damp gasket or some fluid ‘sweat’ isn’t considered reason for action. Misunderstandings like this can escalate to arguments when a dealership completes an inspection, cannot find a warrantable condition, and then presents their customer with an invoice for the technician’s time. But any auto

Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER

manufacturer will tell you that regardless of where a vehicle is serviced, the warranty, as outlined in the owner’s handbook, still applies. So to make things easier for everyone, here are a few tips when dealing with this situation. • If your independent tech brings something to your attention that he or she thinks may be covered under a manufacturer warranty or recall, get some specifics. If something is loose: how loose is it? Which specific component? If something is causing a noise: why? If something is leaking: which fluid? Is it dripping or just sweating? Ask for a written report to eliminate the risk of forgetting something or referring to the wrong side or end of the vehicle when returning to your dealership service counter. • When communicating with your dealership, provide as much information as possible. For example, rather than ask them to diagnose a noise, tell them your private technician has identified a fault with component ‘A’ or part ‘B’. Ask them up front what their policy is for inspections that don’t lead to a warrantable repair.

Whether or not you choose to risk your money (on inspection charges) depends on how much you trust the opinion of your own tech. Some inspections require little time (and therefore small fees) whereas some jobs may involve multiple road-tests and/ or special equipment and at city shop rates that exceed $100/hour; it’s good to know where you stand before things get started. • Dealers get paid by their manufacturers to complete warranty repairs and in some cases they are reimbursed at their retail labour rate with a healthy mark-up allowed on parts. Some techs may complain that the time allowances carmakers list for certain jobs are rather thin, but overall, completing warranty repairs is a profitable business for the retailer.

EMC Lifestyle – A common situation that arises at dealership service/parts counters every day has a variety of approaches and the results can vary from great to dismal, depending on how things are communicated and unlike the old adage: a little knowledge can be a very good thing. Many vehicle owners are happy to have their vehicles serviced by their authorized dealerships and some prefer to stick with an independent garage or national/ regional chain for reasons of trust, price, comfort and convenience to name a few. A good service provider, regardless of the shingle hanging at their front door, will always do their best to ensure their customers have worry-free driving. To this end it’s a common practice for technicians to perform a general inspection anytime a vehicle is in for routine maintenance in order to spot and bring to the owner’s attention, anything that’s amiss and requires attention. On newer vehicles, good service consultants will always keep in mind the vehicle manufacturer warranty as it may cover the costs of parts and labour for a particular repair or replacement due to a warrantable defect in workmanship or materials. So it’s not uncommon for a vehicle owner to end up at his or her dealership’s service desk with a recommendation from an independent garage to replace a tie rod end, or repair

Be mindful of your pet’s condition during hot and humid weather By LORI CLARKSON

EMC Lifestyle – We have certainly found the “Dog days of summer” with all this heat and humidity! It’s a great time of the year in Lanark County and hopefully everyone is having a safe and happy summer so far. More hot and humid weather is expected in the region over the next couple of days. When the sun is shining it may be tempting to get out for some summer fun with your pet but the risk of heatstroke is a real danger everyone should be aware of. Many people are already aware that the car can be a very dangerous place if a pet is left alone for even a very short period of time. Less obvious are the dangers of overexertion during hot, and particularly, humid weather. Dogs don’t sweat like humans do. The main way they cool down is by panting which isn’t the easiest way to cool off in the first place, and it is much more difficult in humid weather, as there is very little evaporation. On a hot day, the time between having fun and heatstroke can be very short. The time is even shorter in the high humidity. The activity doesn’t have to be strenuous either since dogs just aren’t built to cool off like humans are. Heatstroke can happen much quicker than expected, especially for the “flat-faced, short-nosed” breeds such as Bulldogs, Pugs, and Pekingese which are called brachycephalic breeds. They are most at risk for heatstroke from high temperatures and overexertion due to their anatomy which can impede air flow and reduce the effectiveness of panting even more. And don’t assume that your pet will know when to slow down; by the time they finally do stop to lay down, it may be because they physically can’t go on any more. Watch your pet for signs of tiring and too much panting. The panting tongue out too far will indicate break time. The same advice for humans applies to pets as well; exercise in the early morning and late

Can’t beat giant robots battling giant monsters on big screen MOVIE: Pacific Rim STARRING: Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Burn Gorman, and Ron Pearlman DIRECTOR: Guillermo del Toro EMC Entertainment - Pacific Rim could have used the silliest, most farfetched premise imaginable, and I still would have watched it. I would have watched it because it has giant robots fighting giant monsters, and giant robots fighting giant monsters is awesome. Though it seems completely unnecessary there is a plot. Giant alien monsters called kaiju start coming out of an inter-dimensional breech in the Pacific Ocean. The first takes six days to kill and destroy three cities. The world then bands together, and builds giant robots called jaegers to fight them. The jaegers are incredible war machines, but due to their sheer size and complexity it takes two pilots with their minds linked to operate them. The war rages for years, and the jaegers seem to turn the tide, but the kaiju kept coming. They get bigger, stronger, and more dangerous. Then they start to come through the breech more frequently, and begin to overwhelm the jaegers. Now the last four jaegers are going to make one last run to try and close

My Take MARK HASKINS

the breech. The problem is one of the jaegers, Gypsy Danger, needs a pilot. Marshal Pentecost (Idris Elba), the man in charge of the jaegers, knows just the guy. Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) was one of the original pilots of Gypsy Danger along with his brother. Then his brother was killed in action, and Raleigh walked away from the program. With the fate of the world in the balance Raleigh agrees to go back, but without his brother he has to train a new partner. Enter Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi). She’s skilled, eager and a perfect match for Raleigh. She’s also never been in a real jaeger, and has her own emotional issues. Who said saving the world would be easy? I can’t be believe they bothered with as much story and character development as they did. I get it. Your character has deep emotional scars, and is highly motivated to kill kaiju. I just don’t care. I want less talk and more giant robot-fighting-giant-mon-

ster action. After all the giant robot fighting giant monster action is awesome. These effects are worth seeing, and worth seeing on the big screen. They were so mind blowing I didn’t mind overlooking the film’s weak (and occasionally wrong) attempts at explaining plot points with ‘science’. I actually like the cast. Charlie Hun-

nam and Rinko Kikuchi have good chemistry, do some cool martial arts, and look like they know how to pilot a giant robot. Idris Elba is a fantastic actor and just the person to deliver the obligatory inspirational speech. Charlie Day and Burn Gorman play the token scientists and provide quality comic relief along with Ron Pearl-

man who’s outstanding as underworld kingpin Hannibal Chau. Pacific Rim is what summer blockbusters are all about. Massive spectacles with jaw dropping effects, larger than life story lines, and giant robots fighting giant monsters. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

Emergency Preparedness Shelter in Place “Shelter-in-place” means to take immediate shelter where you are—at home, work, school, or in between. It may also mean “seal the room;” in other words, take steps to prevent outside air from coming in. This is because local authorities may instruct you to “shelter-in-place” if chemical or radiological contaminants are released into the environment. It is important to listen to TV or radio to understand whether the authorities wish you to merely remain indoors or to take additional steps to protect yourself and your family. Close and lock all windows and exterior doors. If there’s a danger of an explosion, close all windows, covering (shades, blinds, curtains etc.), turn off all fans, close vents for heating and air conditioning systems and fire places.

EMC Lifestyle – James Dean drove a black 1949 Mercury coupe with wide whitewalls, dual exhausts and fender skirts in the Hollywood classic, “Rebel Without a Cause.” Ever since that movie was released in 1954, the 1949-51 Mercurys have probably been customized more than any other make or model, with many of them rendered identical to the one driven by James Dean. A more recent movie, “Cars,” inspired the transformation of the 1949 Mercury coupe owned by Dale McNinch of Tillsonburg, Ont. He writes: “Hi Bill, I was looking through a copy of the ‘Old Car Trader’ in 1983. In it was advertised a 1949 Mercury coupe for $500. I called Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and talked with the man who owned it. “He said: ‘I go farm to farm buying scrap. At this one farm, they asked if I take whole cars. I said yes and they took me to the barn. In it was this 1949 Mercury. The kids had been jumping off the hay mow onto the roof. It had 1962 Saskatchewan plates. They also gave me a 1951 Merc front end with rounded hood corners and frenched headlights.’ “We made a deal and I sent him $500. Two weeks later, I had extra holiday time so I took my 12-yearold son in our 1969 Blazer and a rented trailer.

South East CCAC celebrates year of connecting people with care EMC News – The South East Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) celebrated another year of connecting people with the care they need and announced the new board of directors for 2013/14 at its annual general meeting on June 26. The board of directors for 2013/14 are: David Vigar (chair), Wendy Cuthbert (vice-chair), Stan Collins (treasurer), Deanna Dulmage (secretary), Carole Weir, Marion Hughes and the board welcomes new member, Francyne St-Pierre Givogue. In 2012/2013, South East CCAC provided care to more than 33,410 people including: 20,889 patients receiving care at

home; 14,481 seniors who were supported to stay in their homes independently; and 3,451 children receiving health services at school. Getting people the care they need at home and in the community, the South East CCAC helped more than 1,242 seniors transition to a long-term care home; worked in hospital inpatient and emergency departments across the region to help 12,071 people return home from hospital with home care; and provided 663 more patients with personal support, and 100,248 more hours of personal support than the previous year. “Not only are we coordinat-

ing care for more people, we are also seeing an increase in patients with high needs” said Jacqueline Redmond, chief executive officer of the South East CCAC. “Caring for more people with high care needs requires increased collaboration across the health system and CCACs play a key role in creating a better aligned health system. We look forward to continuing to work with all sectors of the local health care system to provide outstanding care to every person, every day.” Thanks to sound financial management principles, the South East CCAC balanced its $109 million budget with a

small surplus. “I have a deep gratitude for the work of the South East CCAC,” said outgoing board member Beverley Townsend. “Every day there is a huge corps of people who support more than 12,500 individuals to remain in their homes under the guidance of the CCAC care coordinators. The CCAC has a relatively small number of staff reaching many people in the community and helping many people navigate the health system. We get a huge value for the dollars invested.” To view a copy of the 2012/13 annual report and the audited financial statements, visit the South East CCAC website at

Land claim agreement will articulate Algonquins’ harvesting rights By ROBERT POTTS

EMC Lifestyle – The following is part of a series, provided by the Algonquins of Ontario. Since time immemorial, harvesting has been central to the Algonquin way of life. The Algonquin traditional practices of hunting, trapping, fishing and gathering flora for medicinal, food and other purposes, reflect the history of Algonquins as a hunting and gathering society. These practices embody an inherent respect for the environment and a fundamental commitment to the sustainable management of resources which has been passed from generation to generation. The right of Aboriginal peoples in Canada to engage in traditional activities that are fundamental to their unique histories, cultures and spiritual beliefs is recognized by the Constitution Act, 1982 and upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada. Under this

legal framework, the Algonquins of Ontario (AOO) currently possess the right to harvest wildlife, fish, migratory birds and plants for domestic purposes 365 days per year. This right is subject only to measures necessary for conservation and public health and safety. As such, a final treaty will not create Aboriginal rights for the AOO but rather, it will clearly articulate what these rights are and how they may be exercised. As stewards of the land and resources within their traditional territory, the AOO recognize the fundamental importance of protecting viable populations of flora and fauna for generations to come. Since 1991, the AOO have pioneered ground-breaking harvest management plans for moose in Algonquin Park and wildlife management units surrounding the park. These plans contain clear provisions which set out when and where the harvest by Algonquin harvesters can occur, what the to-

Robert Potts

tal harvest is to be and who is eligible to participate through a tag system. Harvest limits for moose and elk are established in cooperation with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR), based on data that addresses wildlife conservation and the sustainability of wildlife populations. The AOO is the first Aboriginal group in Canada that has voluntarily enacted these types of harvest management practices. Over the last decade the AOO, working in partnership with the MNR have become important players in moose aerial inventory surveys in Algonquin Park. This involvement expanded to elk aerial inventories beginning in early 2012. The AOO continue to work with the MNR to develop a coordinated approach to enable the effective participation of the Algonquins in the collection of data relating to fish and other wildlife across the territory. To date, the data collected for both

moose and elk have assisted in the development of the AOO annual harvest management plans. The AOO recognize that sustainable harvests are fundamental not only to the Algonquin way of life but also to our neighbours living throughout our traditional territory. As demonstrated over the past 20 years, the AOO are committed to working together to ensure the protection of viable populations of fish and wildlife for future generations. This column is the fourth in a series providing insights into Algonquin history, the foundation for the land claim, elements of the preliminary draft AIP and next steps in the journey. The next column will focus on the forestry component of the preliminary draft AIP. For more information visit www. tanakiwin.com. Robert Potts is Principal Negotiator and Senior Legal Counsel for the Algonquins of Ontario.

Hyosung motorcycles have had success since launch style race-inspired bikes and the performance cruiser ST7 models. My tester from Dan Witmer of GearHead Canada was the GT250R. This red and white faring clad pocket-something, looked great in its stance and provided an adequate seat height of 32” that provided easy swing over even for an aging test pilot. In mono-coloured trim, the GT250R carries an MSRP of just $4,200; my two-toned version is only $200 more. If you want the bones without skin, a ‘naked’ version of the GT250R is available in three solid colour choices for just $3,799 (all prices before destination charges, dealer prep, license fees, and tax). As the moniker suggests, power for the GT250R comes from an air/oil cooled 250 cc twin breathing through eight valves on a dual-over-head-cam. The fuel injection system removes the need for a choke and annoying fast idle warm-ups. A five-speed transmission transfers the 30 hp via a chain to a rear 17” tire. Stopping performance is strong and comes from a three-disc system using twin-piston 300 mm calipers on the front and a 230 mm unit on the rear. Front suspension is comprised of 43mm inverted forks and the rear uses a swing arm with a progressive linkage shock that’s preload adjustable. The front tire is a 110/70-17 and the rear is 150/70-17. The GT250R propelled my 230 lb mass without much complaint and shifts were solid and powered well by a wide torque-band. A slight stiffness to the steering and pegs I put down to being the first rider on this machine out of the

box. Even with the low position handlebars, and my lack of experience with this stance, signal and lamp controls, along with brake and clutch levers (which are adjustable) were easy to operate. A three-position foot-peg set-up, along with the adjustable levers will permit a

wide range of riders to find just the right position for comfortable yet spirited rides. The GT250R definitely won’t give many mid-displacement bikes a scare, but it provides a great balance between a solid commuter and weekend freedom bike. For those not seeking a race-inspired riding position the less dressed GT250 has a different set of handlebars that permits a more upright stance. Instrumentation includes a digital inset for fuel, temp, and trip distance with an adjustable brightness feature. Hyosung provides a full one-year parts and labor warranty with a second year for parts only. The GT250R is rated at 78 mpg and

17 L fuel tank provides plenty of range. I found the GT250R supplied confidence by means of the ease of operation in a ride on a busy Ottawa Saturday morning route. The mirrors need to provide a slightly wider range and the seat bottom definitely could use a little more padding. With the ease of cold starts and the nimbleness that a compact-framed bike provides in urban settings at a price point lower than any of the competitions’ MSRP’s, Hyosung might be your first or next ride. Yours in service Brian Turner

EMC Lifestyle – The bikes and vehicles I road test for these reviews (yes, it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices), come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local retailers. I prefer to use retailers whenever possible because they stock units that more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local retailer and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The Hyosung 250GTR motorcycle I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at GearHead Canada in Bells Corners, Ottawa. Hyosung motorcycles have had just as much success since their launch in Canada as every other Korean vehicle importer. They were established in the late ‘70s and quickly developed a technology cooperation agreement with Suzuki. They grew from there and never looked back. They entered the North American market in 2005 marketing mid-level equipped bikes at entry level prices (a practice they continue with today). They started in Canada with cruiser-style machines, low on displacement but high on riding value. These bikes have evolved to the GV250 and GV650 Pro and find themselves equally at home on commutes or weekend get-away lanes. Their line has expanded and now includes GT-

Healthy and safe outdoor eating tips for summertime By MEENA TIPPER

EMC Lifestyle – Summertime is ideal for eating outside, at the beach, in the back yard or a local park. When planning foods for outdoor eating remember that in the summertime many local vegetables and fruit are at their peak and make a wonderful addition to any meal. It is also important to stay hydrated, and use safe food practices. Healthy picnic options Typical prepackaged picnic foods such as hot dogs, mayon-

naise based salads (e.g. potato salad); chips, desserts etc. can be high in saturated fat, sodium and sugar. You can make your picnic healthier by including vegetables, fruit, whole grains and lean meat. Summer picnics occur at the height of the fresh fruit and vegetable season. Here are a few tasty and easy picnic ideas: • Combine salad greens with a variety of other vegetables. Bring vinaigrette dressing to toss before serving. • Serve sliced vegetables and dip. Try locally grown tomatoes, red peppers, radishes,

Or use lettuce as the “wrap” for the filling.
