Terry Fox Run unfolds this Sunday

EMC Events – Dozens of local residents will be keeping the spirit of Terry Fox alive when they join together for the annual Terry Fox Run this Sunday, Sept. 16 in Kemptville.

This year’s run, which raises funds for the Terry Fox Foundation in their efforts towards cancer research, will once again kick off at the armoury (former fire hall) on Reuben Crescent where participants can choose a 2km, 5km or 10km distance as they make their way through Riverside Park. The route is wheelchair, rollerblade and bicycle accessible.

Local realtor Harry Pratt of Royal LePage Gale Real Estate in Kemptville will serve as the emcee for the Terry Fox Run and those taking part will be put through a warm-up exercise 15 minutes prior to the start of the event.

“Harry has been our master of ceremonies for the past couple of years and he’s always entertaining. Everyone seems to like him,” remarked Kemptville Terry Fox Run organizer Debbie MacDougall.

MacDougall, who is in her third year coordinating the event, always enjoys the run.

“It’s nice to give back and as a cancer survivor, this just hits home,” she noted.

While those wishing to participate can pick up pledge sheets (there is no minimum required to be raised) at various stores throughout town, they can also sign up for the run online at the Terry Fox Foundation website (www. terryfox.org). Before the event kicks off at 10 a.m. on Sept. 16, registration will also be open, beginning at 8:30 a.m. if individuals want to register on the day of the run. For those wanting to get a head start, runners will be permitted to begin their run at 9 a.m.

This year, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 212 is opening their doors to allow participants the use of their washrooms. Terry Fox Run T-shirts, shoelaces and other Terry Fox Foundation memorabilia will also be for sale.

MacDougall indicated she is still seeking volunteers to help out on the day of the run.

She expects to have students from St. Michael Catholic High School earning com-

munity service hours during the event, which they have done in past years. Those who wish to volunteer can call MacDougall at 613-2589880 (home) or 613-2662433 (cell).

As the run inches closer, MacDougall said she is hoping for a good turnout and great weather to help carry on the tradition.

“We want to raise as much as we can. These are tough times for everyone, so whatever people can afford is appreciated,” MacDougall concluded.

For more information on the Kemptville Terry Fox Run, please call MacDougall at the above numbers or visit www.terryfox.org.

About the Terry Fox Run The Terry Fox Run, which takes place across Canada and the world, has become a fundraising tradition named for the Canadian Fox, who lost a leg to cancer and decided to run across Canada to raise funds for cancer research. He began his Marathon of Hope in 1980 and ran almost a marathon for 143 days before he was forced to stop when his cancer returned

to his lungs.

According to a press kit from the Terry Fox Foundation, the Terry Fox Run has been taking place as a tribute to Fox for 32 years.

“In 2011, millions of Ontarians participated in 225 community Terry Fox Runs and 3,900 school events, raising $12 million for cancer research,” states a press release.

A total of 84 cents from every dollar raised from Terry Fox Runs goes towards cancer research and to date, the foundation has raised more than $600 million for cancer research worldwide.

Known as one of the largest non-governmental organizations that funds cancer research in Canada, the Terry Fox Foundation aids in studies for different types of cancers including ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic, oral, liver, oncolytic viruses and others.

To date, 1,180 research projects have been funded by the foundation and in 2011, they invested $27.5 million into three areas of cancer research: discovery research, translational research and training future leaders in cancer research.

EMC News – There is still time for the public to have their voices heard on what landscapes they feel are most valuable along the Rideau Canal Corridor.

Building on the successful first round of public consultation sessions in March and field work this summer, a final round of public consultation sessions was held the week of Aug. 13, but the public can still have their say online at www.rcls-sacr. ca. Anyone interested in providing input is also encouraged to contribute to the online photographic library of the Rideau Corridor’s landscapes. Now that the formal consultation meetings have wrapped up consultants will turn their attention toward synthesizing all feedback in order to produce a report of recommendations to the federal department before the end of 2012.

“They are now sitting down and putting it all together,” said Bruce MacMillan, Parks Canada spokesperson of study consultants. “Dates are still a bit fluid.”

Parks Canada extends a very big thank you to all who attended the workshops, held in five communities along the Rideau Corridor.

This fall represents the final phase of the project comprising the landscape character assessment final report and recommendations. The recommendations will inform strategic and land use planning by Parks Canada, conservation authorities, municipalities and others as part of a broader Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy.

As part of its commitment to the Rideau Corridor Landscape Strategy, Parks Canada is facilitating a Landscape Character Assessment to identify keyfeatures and values of the Rideau Corridor in order to support more effective planning and management of the Rideau Corridor’s landscape into the future.

EMC News – Barb McKnight of Burlington was left speechless on Friday, Sept. 7 when her sister-in-law called her from Cobra Spas and Pools with the good news.

She’d won a $3,500 pink hot tub in a draw for the Canadian Cancer Society. “Oh my God! I can’t believe it,� she said over the speaker phone following the draw at noon Friday. “Are you serious? You are kidding me.�

Once the squeals of disbelief started to fade, she was filled with emotion. “This is so exciting. I have never won anything in my life!�

When asked if McKnight had a spot for her new spa, she said she will find the room, probably on her deck. “What a great birthday gift.

I will use it every day of my life.�

The chain of events began earlier in the year when owners of Cobra Pools and Spas Inc., Judy and Bill Brady decided to sell tickets on a pink hot tub as a cancer society fund raiser. “We started selling ducks for $5 with the idea that we were doing this as a fundraiser for the cancer society,� Judy said. “We got our pink hot tub from our supplier Lumi-O and have been selling the tickets for a few months now. We sold $1,000 worth and will be presenting a cheque to the Perth officer of the Canadian Cancer Society.�

Amanda Gifford, fund raising coordinator for the CCS was on hand Friday to draw the winning duck.

She climbed into the pink hot tub and stirred up the ducks that filled the bottom.

Pulling the winning ticket belonging to McKnight was totally random. McNight is the sister of Bill Brady, the store owner. “This will be so great for her,� Judy said, her eyes brimming with tears as she rubbed the goose bumps on her arms. “This will mean the world to her and her family.�

In July, McKnight and her family were in Perth and rented a hot tub for their cottage holiday in the area. Barb is from Perth.

Barb added that to pick up the hot tub, she said “We’ll just have to make another trip home‌ soon.â€?

Next year, plans are in the works to hold another hot tub draw.

Topics to be covered this Fall include medication use and management, nutrition needs and management, physical mobility and activity, home fall prevention, continence, elder abuse, navigating the health care system and mental health.

Graduates of the program are presented with a Certificate of Achievement during the final class.

The executive director is passionate about continuing the service for as long as possible to move forward the organization’s overall goal to end violence. Lanark County isn’t immune to this violence turning deadly. Since 1985 11 women and one young girl have been murdered by their abuser.

Anyone wishing to support Lanark County Interval House is asked to contact their local politicians or MPP Randy Hillier at 613-267-8239. Todd noted MPP Hillier has personally met shelter residents on two-to-three occasions and is well aware of their situation.

the 10th and seeing what can happen at the county level,” mayor Staples said.

Todd is also asking politicians to lobby for increased funding from the ministry to ensure places like Lanark County Interval House remain open. Battered women will feel the slice of budget cuts in more ways than through LCIH. Beginning Jan. 1, 2013 the Community Start Up fund that provided $1,499 to women who were starting their lives over again due to abuse will be canceled.

“There are some rough times ahead for women who are fleeing,” Todd said.

LCIH is the only service of its kind in Lanark County. For the last 33-years Interval House has been offering a variety of services to women and children fleeing abusive environments. In addition to their 24/7 emergency hotline and 15-bed shelter, the organization also provides education and prevention; transitional support and advocacy.

“We take every opportunity we can to get into the schools,” Todd said.

EMC News - Municipalities across Lanark County are being asked to join Lanark County Interval House (LCIH) in their efforts to address a funding crisis that could jeopardize the only area emergency shelter for women and their children.

“We are in a situation,” added Erin-Lee Todd, LCIH executive director.

“We’re not seeing a growing increase that’s equitable from our funders.”

The issue is a projected $59,000 budget deficit for this year when the ministry isn’t expected to provide any funding increases for at least the next five years (and hasn’t for the last three years).

While facing such enormous financial gaps the operators of LCIH are also looking at increased wait times and an ever-growing demand on their many services, particularly with the strain from the economic crunch and job loss.

“We’re seeing an increased rate of first time occurrences,” Todd said.

Last year the 24/7 crisis

line received over 2,200 emergency calls of which 15 per cent were from Smiths Falls and 29 per cent from Carleton Place.

Todd made her first of many presentations to Smiths Falls Committee of the Whole this week (Sept. 10). Before a Lanark County Committee meeting takes place Oct. 10. Todd plans to speak to every municipality in the county to ask them to either approve an annual budget line item for interval house or pass a motion for the same at the county level.

“We’re asking all municipalities to consider what they can do,” Todd said.

The non-profit organization is proposing $5,000 a year from the major towns (Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills) and $3,000 from the remaining townships who receive support from interval house for a possible total of $35,000. Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples thanked Todd for her presentation, confirming his attendance at the upcoming county meeting.

Retirement party to serve as fundraiser for LAWS wishlist below the equator including Asia. Her work has also taken her to be a missionary, she’s been to British Columbia, before coming to Ontario and starting at St. Francis de Sales in 1975, where she stayed until 1988, she then taught at North Elmsley Public School, she went to Glen Tay Public School and last year taught at Queen Elizabeth Public School.

Highlights for her during her years of teaching, moments that bring a sparkle to her eye perhaps come from watching children act. She herself is interested in acting, and she is musically inclined.

“Kids have stayed the same throughout the years,” she smiled as her eyes lit up.

“They love to act. Their inner self comes out.”

Another happy memory for Johnson is a book, and a chance meeting with one of her former students. Goblins in the Castle, by Bruce Coville, is a book she read

By MARLA SHOOK mshook@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Madelyn Johnson has retired after 40 years teaching. To celebrate she is giving back to her community – to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society.

Plans are in the works for her retirement party, set for Sept. 23, 2 p.m. at the North Elmsley Public School gymnasium – but she doesn’t want gifts, nor presents of any kind.

“This is a fundraiser for LAWS,” for items on their wish list, she explained.

Weekly the shelter’s website, as well as the LAWS’ column which runs in this newspaper features a list of items needed, for example canned cat, kitten and dog food.

Throughout her years of teaching she would often incorporate LAWS into the lesson plan. It may sound like a strange feat, however having taught the whole gamut of grade levels, student writer’s block was a common denominator. So to aid the children in finding something to write about she would pull up the LAWS website, ask the children to pick a cat or a dog and tell their story.

“It enhanced their writing,” she explained.

In fact, it was the children in her class one year who picked out a cat for her from the shelter. It all started when she came to work a little grumpy. She had planted some expensive bulbs in her garden, only to come outside and find a squirrel making a snack out of them. The children suggest she get a cat to ward off the varmint and, even better – to get a cat from LAWS. Going through the website the class came up with a choice they felt was perfect for their teacher – a cat named Benny. So off to the shelter she went.

Entering a cat room, instantly one of the felines jumped up on her lap. There with a friend, Johnson wasn’t sure what to do. This cat had picked her out, but yet the class had picked out another cat for her. What was she to do? She remembers, her eyes wide.

Well, she didn’t have to

To mark her retirement after 40 years of teaching Madelyn Johnson is having a retirement party. This part comes with a twist, she is asking for donations for LAWS. Above is Johnson with Tess, almost two years old, and the now famous feline Benny, almost four. worry – the very cat that had jumped on her lap, was the very cat the class had picked out for her – Benny. He hasn’t jumped on her since. Currently he is three or four years old and with a laugh, Johnson explains, the squirrel population is down now.

Having taught so many children throughout the years, she often would “go full circle” and end up teaching the children of the adults who had been in her classroom years prior. She is hoping the, “40 years worth of kids” she taught will come out and enjoy the music, snacks and the afternoon. Some of her former principals will be in attendance to share a few words as part of the event.

She recalls one year a young student whose father she had also taught. The young girl was excited when she was able to sit in the same seat her father had once occupied.

Be a money-mentor You want the best for your kids. That’s why you send them off to school and mentor them at home. Education is vital to success in life, but an important skill-set your kids likely won’t get at school is a dollars and sense education.

Age-appropriate moneymanagement skills that are best learned from you.

Having retired as of Aug. 31, she is, “kind of going through withdrawal,” she laughs. “I’ve been asking friends to help set up their classrooms.”

“It’s never been work,” she said of the job, “I worked hard. I just loved it.”

Originally from Queen’s, New York, she started out her teaching career in Long Island City, New York. But the travel bug was something she had always been afflicted with. While her mother was supportive of the notion, her father was not, and upon graduating from high school he bought her a lifetime subscription to National Geographic, so she could travel the world, all while staying at home.

In the years that passed she did end up seeing the world, she’s been to Switzerland, seen much of Canada and now that she is retired she will be working on visiting locations

6 – 12 years Make saving fun!

Give them a special bank to fill with coins from you and others. Mark their graduation to a real bank account and give them an allowance tied to completing certain tasks. A fixed amount is best because it teaches that serious choices need to be made when it comes to spending or saving.

Get them to buy into payyourself-first strategy by saving at least ten percent of their allowance and explain how interest makes their money grow. Other good money education tools are board games and interactive websites such as the Bank of Canada’s (www.bankofcanada.ca) and the Canadian Foundation for Economic Education’s (www. moneyandyouth.cfee.org).

to her students many, many times. One year the book was liked so much a student ended up “borrowing” it without telling Johnson. But it was recovered and brought back to class. It must be a memorable read, as Johnson ran into a man she had taught, awhile ago. He enjoyed the book so much, but couldn’t remember its title. He asked Johnson if she could tell him, as he wanted to read the book to his kids.

The book, she smiles, is in the fantasy genre and teaches life lessons in a fun way.

Activities in Comrie Scotland marked 20th anniversary of twinning with Carleton Place Evelyn.

Finlayson, who was elected council chairman last year, opened the brief but colourful ceremony. He welcomed the Carleton Place contingent and all those in Comrie who have assisted the process over the course of 20 years. “I’m learning more about this process as we move forward,� he told the EMC in a later interview. “I look forward to visiting Carleton Place and Canada in the near future.�

LeBlanc told the gathering how pleased she and her husband were to be back in Comrie. “Last time we were here (August 2010) marked the first student exchange. We’ve had a 15th anniversary celebration in 2007 and now here we are at our 20th. Lots of firsts over the years but more importantly seconds, fifth, tenths and fifteenths,� LeBlanc noted. “Those past anniversaries and the one this year, our 20th, show that the twinning has worked. There are groups and individuals who are dedicated to keeping the bonds alive and building on what has been accomplished in the past so that there will be a future where we can look forward to a second and third student exchange, a 25th anniversary and many return visits by individuals and groups between Comrie and Carleton Place. “We are delighted to be here to represent our community, to enjoy your Highland hospitality and to begin another decade of a positive, mutually-beneficial relationship,� the mayor told the gathering.

In his remarks Maguire, who along with his wife were on their third official visit to Comrie as members of the Carleton Place committee, thanked past supporters of the twinning arrangement in both communities. “Those of us who are involved today have simply taken the torch from them and it is our job to carry the twinning relationship forward.�

lies with the youth of Comrie and Carleton Place. “The student exchange program, which we are very supportive of, is extremely important. Young people are the future of our communities and our countries. They will be the future of the Sister City program – as we call it – as well.�

A second student exchange involving the twin centres is being planned for next summer.

Following the official remarks the 20th anniversary was consecrated in traditional Scottish fashion. Finlayson opened a bottle of “Highland nectar� – a single malt whiskey – and everyone involved was offered a sip.

LeBlanc took hers rather tentatively but, flashing a smile, offered afterwards that “it isn’t too bad.�

Finlayson and McCartney then poured a little of the malt into the rushing waters of the River Earn, which passes beneath Ross Bridge, to signify the ongoing relationship between the two communities. “Maybe we could paddle from here to Carleton Place,�

Finlayson joked. “It would be fun to try!�

Among the members of the public in attendance was Gregor MacDonald of nearby Crieff. “I have connections in Canada and when I heard about this ceremony today I had to come out and see what it was all about. I’ve really enjoyed it,� MacDonald told the EMC. Posters were placed in various locations around Comrie and district advertising the 20th anniversary event.

Also Aug. 18 the fourmember Carleton Place delegation were guests at a formal, evening dinner held in

the dining room of the Royal Hotel in Comrie and attended by 25 people.

During their five day stay the Canadian visitors were also toured around the Highlands and spent an afternoon at the annual Highland Gathering in nearby Crieff on Sunday, Aug. 19 where LeBlanc’s presence was announced to the large audience in attendance.

The LeBlanc’s and Maguire’s also met Liz Grant, the newly named Lord Provost of Perth and Kinross (head of county council) during a reception in Perth, Scotland which is approximately a 40 minute drive from Comrie.

Grant is the second woman to hold the position. LeBlanc is only the second female mayor in Carleton Place history.

As mentioned the basis of the Carleton Place-Comrie connection is historical.

Many of the early settlers of Carleton Place, Beckwith Township and other areas of Lanark County emigrated from what is now Perth and Kinross, Scotland in the 19th Century. Among them were natives of Comrie, St. Fillans and other villages in the Strathearn region of the lower Scottish Highlands.

The graves of many of those settlers can be found today in cemeteries such as St. Fillans, part of the United Cemeteries in Beckwith, just southeast of Carleton Place.

Carleton Place will celebrate the 20th anniversary this month during the sixth annual Heritage Ball planned for the Town Hall Auditorium on Saturday, Sept. 29. Tickets for the black tie gala are now on sale from any committee member. The event will have a Scotland theme in honour of this year’s special anniversary.

Lees, now a member of a newly-formed twinning subcommittee of Comrie Community Council, will attend the formal dinner-dance here along with his wife Marlyn and their daughter Amanda, a drummer in the Comrie Pipe Band. The Lees have visited Carleton Place on several occasions in the past.

A public reception is being planned which will allow members of the Carleton Place community to meet the Scottish visitors and mark the 20th anniversary.

Started in 1992 Looking back, on Saturday Aug. 1, 1992 ceremonies were held simultaneously in both Carleton Place and Comrie to officially launch a linkage which has now surpassed two decades.

It was Peter McNaughton, a Comrie native who now resides in Pointe-Claire, Quebec (a Montreal suburb), who first pointed out the connection to Carleton Place council and suggested a twinning arrangement would serve the interests of both communities.

His idea led to discussions between officials and residents in both centres which culminated in the formation of twinning committees and the establishment of an offi-

cial relationship.

Among those who were involved in the original twinning committee in Carleton Place were the late Mayor Melba Barker and then councillor Tim Campbell who is now a member of the township council in Beckwith.

Comrie principals included the John Robertson family along with Jimmy Stewart and the late Jimmy McEwan.

At the time McEwan and Stewart were members of the Comrie Pipe Band which was instrumental in moving the relationship forward. The pipe band led official delegations that visited Carleton Place in 1994 and again in 1997.

Carleton Place, Beckwith and Lanark County residents have made numerous excursions, both official and unofficial, to Comrie over the years.

With the relationship firmly entrenched after 20 years, the student exchange is now an important part of the twinning relationship. With a second program planned next year it is hoped exchanges can be held every two or three years depending on the available financial resources.

EMC Lifestyle – It has been one of the wettest summers on record in Scotland and much of the United Kingdom. Right on cue, however, the sun emerged and shone brightly during an outdoor ceremony held to mark the 20th anniversary of the twinning relationship involving Carleton Place and the Highland village of Comrie.

The afternoon event took place Saturday, Aug. 18 on the Ross Bridge (circa 1792) where a similar ceremony was held two decades earlier to officially establish a link between two communities who share an historic connection.

Twenty years to the month after the twinning was first formalized Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and Andrew Finlayson, chairman of Comrie Community Council, wore broad smiles as they strode arm in arm to the centre of the historic stone bridge. Their walk opened proceedings and signified the close ties that exist between the Canadian town and the Scottish village.

A lone piper serenaded the crowd comprised of current and former twinning committee members, local politicians and members of the public from Comrie and district. The red Canadian maple leaf flag and the Saltire, Scotland’s national flag, hung side-by-side on the facing of the impressive structure.

LeBlanc was accompanied by her husband Frank and

by Jeff Maguire, chairman of the Carleton Place Sister City Committee and his wife Kathleen. All four are members of the twinning organization in Carleton Place.

Among the official Comrie representatives were council vice-chairman David Robertson and councillors Gordon McCartney, Sandra McRitchie and Gillian Brock.

Also playing an official role was George Lees, the longtime head of the Comrie Twinning Committee, who was responsible for organizing the itinerary for the Canadian visitors. Sandy Gray, the chairman of Comrie council at the time of the original ceremony in 1992, was also in attendance with his wife

A brand new season of warm, wonderful live theatre EMC Entertainment - Once again, browning leaves and chilly mornings herald the end of summer and the start of fall and winter. And although cold weather may not be your cup of tea, there’s a very entertaining way to warm the coming months: the brand new season of great shows at the Studio Theatre!

Last year’s season was an unqualified hit, highlighted by blockbusters like Steel Magnolias, Neil Simon’s Chapter Two, the mystery/drama An Inspector Calls, and the Academy Award-winning Doubt.

For 2012/2013, Artistic Director David Parry and his team of theatre veterans have put together another outstanding calendar of thought provoking dramas and knee-slapping comedies.

Beginning Oct. 11, look for the premiere of Frederick Knott’s classic nail-biter Wait Until Dark, directed by Norma Cummings. In November, the ever-popular Evening of One Act

Plays debuts, featuring three one-acts including George Bernard Shaw’s Overruled, which is the Studio Theatre’s entry in this year’s Eastern Ontario Drama League One Act Festival.

Then, to warm the holidays, it’s the funny, nostalgic theatrical greeting card The Christmas Express, written

by Pat Cooke and directed

by Joan Sonnenburg.

Premiering Valentine’s Day 2013, enjoy Rachel Sheinkin’s quirky The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, directed by C. Lee Bates and featuring music and lyrics by William Finn.

As spring arrives, so does $38,000 for a Friendly Face, written by Kristin Shepherd and directed by Roberta Peets. Set in a funeral home, this offbeat rib tickler is full of eccentric characters and heart-warming truths.

Finally, veteran director Jeremy Dutton brings us Proof, about the daughter of a deceased mathematical genius who claims to have written a seemingly impossible mathematical theorem. Did she write it? Can she prove authorship and escape the mental illness that plagued

her father? Proof is a Pulitzer prize-winning drama by David Auburn, premiering June 20.

A subscription to the Studio Theatre’s 2012/2013 season is the perfect reason to emerge from hibernation during the winter months. And at one low price for all six plays, it’s also one of the best entertainment bargains around. Subscriptions are just $109 cash at the theatre’s box office, open Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. until noon until Thanksgiving. For credit card and phone orders, visit Tickets Please on Foster St., 613-485-6434 ($120 including convenience fee).

From actors and directors, to set builders and ushers, the Studio Theatre is the only community theatre in Perth operated 100 per cent by volunteers. Every dollar generated by the theatre’s productions goes directly into maintaining and operating the building and its services to the community.

NOCO Fuels Canada awarded Esso branded Fuels and Lubricants reseller business for Eastern Ontario by Imperial Oil A recent investment by a family owned company is making business news in Eastern Ontario. NOCO Canada, a family owned and locally operated company has been serving Canada’s energy needs for decades. The company is leveraging their rich heritage in the business with an expansion of their fuel and lubricant operations into the Trenton and Ottawa areas. As a proud Esso and Mobil branded reseller, NOCO supplies heating oil, gasoline, diesel, and lubricants to serve residential, farm, commercial, and industrial customers.

“With almost eighty years of experience in the energy business, we are honoured to have the opportunity to serve the hard working consumers of this region,” noted Mark Yeatman, General Manager of NOCO Fuels Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of NOCO Canada.

With this expansion, NOCO has established more local offices to efficiently and safely deliver high-quality products at competitive prices. With office locations in Toronto, Trenton, Ottawa and Pembroke, NOCO simplifies access for their customers by allowing them to get all of their products from one place.

One major change customers will see is the elimination of a national call center. By establishing local offices and working with local personnel, NOCO is keeping business local and investing in communities. Other improved operations include online ordering and automatic payments, with online billpay coming soon. NOCO’s customers can expect the prompt, courteous, and dependable service they deserve.

As the second largest Mobil distributor in North America, NOCO’s expansion has created a stronger product mix to more completely serve their customers.

The company provides a full line of Mobil lubricants for automotive, fleet, industrial, metalworking, and specialty needs.

COMMENTARY Keeping the virus at bay

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Amazing perseverance DEAR EDITOR: The resolve and perseverence displayed by the people of Elliot Lake is both astounding and inspiring.

With the recent tragedy centered around the collapse at the Algoa Mall (and the implications thereof) there is no doubt that this northern Ontario community has suffered a severe blow.

Still, after having spent a few days there recently myself, I can truly say that the spirit of optimism remains and this town will recover. Just as it has had to do in the past when the uranium mines shut down and the city redefined itself as a retirement community.

Stories and personal accounts by those who were in the mall when the incident happened are many as it’s a wonder the list of casualties wasn’t much bigger. The many acts of kindness and displays of generosity that have been happening since continues to grow. Life indeed goes on.

There is also a certain amount of resentment on behalf of the citizens towards the national media whom many believe has

been sensationalizing things too much. The recent discovery of a long submerged body in a nearby lake and a stabbing incident has been connected to the mall cave-in in some accounts. (To suggest the idea of a supposed “curse” or “jinx?”)

Downtown at the Club 90 Drop-In Centre volunteers and staff attempt to address the many needs and personal problems that come their way. There is much to do. Temporary shops and stores need to be established. Over 300 people have lost their jobs due to this tragedy. Shoes need to be handed out. Appointments have to be kept. Bills have to be paid. Living in a remote place, many residents really just need to get away from it all for awhile.

Sadly; the “let’s cover our butts” theme is running rampant.

There are bureaucratic and managerial battles being fought over just how the aid will be distributed.

In spite of it all, in the lives of the real people, togetherness, cooperation and positive results can be witnessed all over.

Lyle Dillabough

EMC Editorial – It may have been gone for a number of years but it’s far from forgotten.

West Nile Virus, that nasty bug carried by mosquitoes and transmitted to humans through their bites has reared its head again late this summer.

Parts of the southern United States have been hardest hit with more than two dozen people losing their lives as a result of the disease in north Texas. The city of Dallas, Tx., even went so far as to declare a state of emergency over the situation. It appeared Canada might be spared, but reports from Ottawa Public Health last week proved that won’t be the case. Two residents have contracted the virus and it’s likely other cases will be reported in the days ahead.

Last month, the Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit issued a release outlining ways local residents can reduce their chances of being struck with the potentially life-threatening virus.

Homeowners can certainly do their part by removing any standing water on their property. These are proven breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Given the heavy rains received over the past week and the return of warmer weather, remaining vigilant is a key to keeping the bugs at bay.

Residents can also take various precautions to ensure they don’t get bitten. Wearing light-coloured clothing is a start. This includes pants and long-sleeved shirts and even a hat to minimize the amount of exposed skin.

Mosquito repellent with what the health unit calls “the appropriate amount (20 to 30 per cent) of DEET” is also key. Keep in mind that children should wear a repellent with between six and 10 per cent DEET. And try to limit outdoor activities between dusk and dawn, the health unit reports. This is the time mosquitoes have been found to be most active. Staying within a screened area where possible is recommended as is the use of mosquito netting if one is sleeping outdoors. Be sure to follow the labels when using inspect sprays and be aware that alternative bug ‘repellents’ such as citronella candles, bug zappers or other electronic devices have only a minor effect on mosquitoes.

Fortunately, the tri-county area continues to be low risk. But the fact West Nile Virus still exists proves the ongoing mosquito trapping and testing program, which now dates back a decade, needs to continue. As the health unit notes, “WNV is a preventable disease and can be easily done if we all work together to eliminate mosquito breeding sites and protect ourselves from being bitten by mosquitoes.”

Blue sugar bowl was sometimes lacking EMC Lifestyle - There was no doubt about it, Father needed a new suit. The only one he owned was threadbare, and even though he hadn’t grown an inch, the cuffs on the legs were above his ankles. No doubt because Mother had tried to wash it one Monday, and now even the sleeves were too short. No, there was no getting around it. He needed a new suit, and the ad in the weekly Renfrew Mercury was just what the doctor ordered!

Three pieces for $14! Father said there was no money for such frivolity. Mother said going to the Lutheran Church on Sunday dressed like a tramp, raised the purchase well above frivolity!

I knew Mother had waited until the big wood box of hand-me-downs had come from Aunt Lizzie in Regina to make sure there wouldn’t be something suitable from Uncle

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

Jack. But, as always, whatever Uncle Jack once wore, had to be severely altered before it would fit Father! Uncle Jack was about Father’s height. But there the similarity ended. My sister Audrey said he looked like a pineapple. I have no idea how she knew what a pineapple looked like, because I never knew one to come into the house. But I did know Uncle Jack was more round than long! His arms were huge and hung well below his hips, and it always looked like he was carrying a bag of grain under his jacket.

Without altering the suit, you

could put at least two of Father in it.

Now, Mother, when she moved to the farm out in Northcote, tried her best to master the old pedal Singer Sewing Machine. And she did well on simple things like clothes for Audrey and me, and making aprons, and even simple house dresses out of Dan River cotton, but when it came to trying to make Father fit into one of Uncle Jack’s suits, she failed miserably. It always ended up that the suits, after being taken apart, became jumpers or skirts for my sister and me.

The Mercury had come in the middle of the week, and Mother said there was just about enough money in the blue sugar bowl in the back-tothe-wall cupboard to buy the suit. What was lacking would be made up when Mother pedalled her eggs, butter and

chickens on Saturday in Renfrew. And so it was decided, Saturday was the day Father would be getting his new $14 suit. The excitement ran high that week in our old log house in Northcote.

That didn’t mean we could ease off on the workload... chores were done as usual.. morning and night in the barns, and Mother made sure my sister Audrey and I kept up with what was expected of us in the house too. But you’d think we were all getting a new outfit, not just Father, as the day of this major purchase drew closer.

Mother took the blue sugar bowl out of the cupboard a few days before we were to head into Renfrew. She dumped the coins out on the kitchen table with a couple crumbled one dollar bills. Then she moved the money over to the top of the ice box, and stacked the

coins in little piles on top of the bills. The blue sugar bowl went back into the cupboard.

She figured she’d have to sell at least four chickens, five or six pounds of butter, and six dozen eggs to make up the difference between what was sitting on the ice-box and what the suit would cost.

The day before we were to head into Renfrew, just before we were to sit down to dinner at noon hour, Father came into the kitchen with a long piece of harness in his hands. He stood silently at the back door, never taking his eyes off it.

“Broke. Just as I was putting it on Queenie. This is the piece I have fixed at least a dozen times. I’m afraid it won’t take another fixin’... can’t use the team without it.”

He didn’t have to say any more. Mother went to the ice box and slid the coins into her hand with the one dollar bills.

She looked at it for a minute, and then walked over to the door and handed it to Father.

It would take just about all of it to replace the worn-out harness that should have been replaced long before. Horses and their harness meant survival back in the 30’s. A farmer couldn’t farm without either.

Nothing more was said about the $14 suit. We went into Renfrew as usual on Saturday for our few supplies, bought only after Mother made her house calls along the back streets of the town with the cleaned chickens, butter and eggs, and that day she had sticky buns as well.

It would be a long time before the blue sugar bowl had in it enough for what Father called a frivolity like a new suit.

Sunday morning saw him at the Lutheran Church the same old suit he had worn for years.

Breast cancer survivor organizes Rock for the Cure EMC Events – Breast cancer survivor Jackie Barr of the Pakenham area is rallying local musicians together to play for Rock for the Cure Saturday, Sept. 15.

The night of live music to raise funds for breast cancer research will be held from 6 to 11 p.m. at her Love That Barr property at 2496 County Rd. 29 near Pakenham.

Musicians including Woody & The CHEZ 106 Hosers, Stone Bandits, Billy Armstrong, Rockin’ Ray, Back To Memphis (tribute to Elvis), The Garden of Weeds, Just 2 Guys and more will be playing from 6 to 11 p.m.

Proceeds will go toward the CIBC Run for the Cure Sept.

30 in Ottawa.

Stricken by breast cancer in 1997 and again in 2006, Barr is a survivor who promises she will not stop fundraising for breast cancer research until the disease has been beaten.

Talking to Barr is often like having an encounter with a motivational audio book. Her favourite phrases ooze optimism and encouragement. “Take the high road.� “Pay it forward.� “It’s not the destination, but the journey that

counts.�

Fifteen years ago, though, a 32-year old Barr could not have known that her life was about to take a sudden detour.

That was the day she discovered a lump in her right breast.

Less than a month later her doctors confirmed the diagnosis of breast cancer. Barr never thought a disease could change who she was. “What sums me up is that I remember what I’ve been through, and I so appreciate where I am now,� Barr often explains. “My experience battling cancer has made me who I am today.�

Barr is a true fighter. After nine months of chemotherapy and radiation treatments, she was exhausted, but her gutsy spirit couldn’t let it rest. “I couldn’t just sit around and attend my own pity party.

I wanted to raise money for research to beat this disease.�

So in the fall of 1998, just months after finishing her treatments, the CIBC Run for the Cure presented her with the ‘Determination Award’ for being the top fundraiser in Ottawa – the first of three consecutive annual awards Barr

Correction EMC Editorial - In last week’s editorial it was mentioned Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County are not annually or sustainably funded by government.

However some support was received this year from the following local municipali-

ties; Beckwith, Tay Valley, Carleton Place, Drummond North Elmsley and Perth.

Their dollars go directly to programming, and have been instrumental in BBBS’ ability to now serve over 300 children each year – right here in Lanark County.

collected. “I call it FUNraising, since I enjoy meeting people, and have no problem asking them to support a great cause; I’m quite successful at it.�

One of Barr’s favourite adages at the time was “live like there’s no tomorrow.�

After celebrating the pivotal five-year mark of being cancer free, she was also doing her best to be carefree.

She was ‘spreading her sunshine’ and doing her best to ‘raise other people’s spirits’.

She couldn’t have known that after eight years the dis-

ease would again attack her right breast and she’d have an even bigger battle on her hands.

In 2006 Barr opted for a double-mastectomy, feeling that was her best chance of survival. This time cancer didn’t stand a chance. Barr beat the odds and she believes her positive attitude and stubborn determination had a large effect on her recovery.

Fifteen years after finding the first lump, Barr is ‘paying it forward’ in a big way by organizing the inaugural Rock for the Cure on the property

that is partly owned by her brother Jamie.

Barr has also organized Team ‘Love Those Boobs’ to participate in this year’s CIBC Run for the Cure in Ottawa.

Proceeds from both events support the Canadian Breast Cancer Society.

Breast cancer statistics from the Canadian Cancer Society indicate that in 2012 on average 62 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer every day. On average 14 Canadian women will die of breast cancer every day.

One in nine women is ex-

pected to develop breast cancer during her lifetime and one in 29 will die of it.

Barr’s life may not have taken the path she would have chosen, but she’s overcome adversity and is willing to go the distance to help find a cure for the disease that dramatically impacted her life. “Most people’s lives have been impacted somehow by it, and I will not stop until we wipe it out,� Barr vows. “I will continue to raise money for research until breast cancer has been defeated.�

Walk your PAWS for LAWS in Carleton Place Sept. 23

By MARLA SHOOK mshook@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – Save a life with every step during Walk your Paws for LAWS, a first ever walkathon, Sept. 23.

This emergency fundraiser, which is intended to become a yearly event, is hoped to bring in $10,000 needed dollars for the shelter.

Registration commences at 9 a.m. that morning and the walk begins at 10 a.m.

There are 2, 5, and 10 kilometre routes with prizes for top fundraisers and some fun prizes thrown in there for good measure as well. The

day is scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Carleton Place Arena.

Water and refreshments will be made available along each route. And once again, all funds raised will go directly to the LAWS animals.

For further details or pledge forms, visit www.lanarkanimals.ca. This event will take place rain or shine.

A silent auction is planned and efforts are underway to schedule some entertainment that day. The shelter is striving to have at least 200 people take part, with or without their furry friends.

“This is a chance for citizens to help and support (the shelter),” said Robynne Eagan, who is helping with the organization of the event.

School groups, businesses, families and individuals are encouraged to take part.

Over 23 years ago the Ottawa Humane Society launched an event very similar to this and brought in over $10,000 their first year, according to information from Eagan.

LAWS is also hoping

for volunteer aid during the event, to help with a list of items.

And a list is exactly what LAWS has of upcoming fundraising events. Individuals, and businesses have come forward after hearing of LAWS financial situation wanting to lend a hand by raising dollars.

A Fest for Pets is scheduled to take place in October at Slackoni’s in Carleton Place. Currently in the plan-

ning stages, it is hoped there will be a stage with entertainment, a silent auction and much, much more.

LAWS is holding a ‘Red Cup Solo Party’ Nov. 9 at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club, featuring Ambush. Doors will be open at 7 p.m. with Ambush playing from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., those attending must be 19 years of age or older. Tickets are $25 each with all proceeds going to the

shelter. Tickets are available at many locations including Ogilvies Automotive in Kilmarnock, Kitley Grocery in Toledo, Hinton Dodge Chrysler in Perth, at LAWS shelter, Smiths Falls Veterinary Clinic, and more.

These are just a few in a long list of upcoming events being put on for the shelter.

UCDSB welcomes back students for 2012-13 school year EMC News – Thousands of students returned to Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) elementary and high schools recently to kick off the 2012-2013 school year.

The Board’s 85 schools opened as scheduled, with students enjoying the new Grades 7-12 format at seven more high schools, as well as additional locations for the Board’s full-time kindergarten and Ready 2 Learn initiatives.

“We welcome back all of our students after what was hopefully a restful summer with their families,” said Director David K. Thomas.

“We know that this year will be better than ever for them thanks to the commitment of our staff and the improvements that we’ve put in place at our schools.”

Intermediate students were introduced to the benefits of the new Grades 7-12 format in several schools: Athens District High School, Brockville Collegiate Institute, Thousand Islands Secondary School, North Grenville District High School, Carleton Place High School, Almonte District High School and Rockland District High School. This year’s changes reflect the final improvements to UCDSB high schools made under the Board’s successful Building 2020 process.

Many of the Board’s schools held special gatherings to kick off the new school year.

At Brockville Collegiate Institute (BCI), a morning assembly organized by the student council welcomed intermediate students as part of a new Grades 7-12 BCI family.

The assembly featured an ad-

dress by Olympic silver medalist rower Conlin McCabe, who spoke to students about the value of finding and pursuing their passions to enjoy a successful life.

The assembly also introduced new principal Bill Loshaw to the entire student body. Loshaw participated in a “trust exercise” in which he fell backward off a ladder into a crowd of students, who caught him and then carried him “mosh pit” style across the BCI stage.

“We’re not trying to create a (Grades 7 and 8) school within our school, we are saying that BCI is a new Grades 7-12 school family,” said the principal.

Grades 7 and 8 students at BCI were also given special “I am a Rams Fan” T-shirts and participated in an “Oskee Wee Wee” cheer contest in the gymnasium.

Intermediate and high school students in Kemptville found a home at a new North Grenville District High School. The opening of the $17.3 million facility, now located on Concession Road, fulfilled a promise by the Board to replace the old high school on Prescott Street. The facility features classrooms for Grades 7-12 students, a new gymnasium, an exercise room, a life skills room, computer labs and updated science labs.

At Athens District High School, students enjoyed a welcoming assembly, a Link Crew session for Grade 9 students, a grand opening of the school’s backyard, and a Grades 7 and 8 student orientation.

WILLIS COLLEGE LAUNCHES NEW TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS NEEDS OF THE 21ST CENTURY WORKPLACE “In today’s complex workplace, tech professionals are playing a more critical role in guiding business than ever before,â€? said David Ticoll, Special Advisor to the Canadian Coalition for Tomorrow’s ICT Skills (CCICT). “The culture has shifted, bringing with it the need for technology professionals that have strong communication skills, a timely knowledge base and relevant FHUWLÂżFDWLRQV ´ $FFRUGLQJ WR D UHFHQW study by the Information and Communications Technology Council (ICTC), between now and 2016, Canadian businesses will need to hire more than 100,000 IT workers. In response to call for action, Willis College, an industry leader in career education established successful programs and partnerships with some of the leading organizations in the industry.

In 2011, an innovative partnership was announced between Willis College and FortinetÂŽ (NASDAQ: FTNT), a leading network security provider and WKH ZRUOGZLGH OHDGHU RI XQLÂżHG WKUHDW management solutions. This partnership has now become a best practice model for both organizations.

Why did Fortinet partner with Willis College? In last year’s press release, Michael Anderson, Fortinet’s vice president of Global Services and Support announced that most of the job growth they are seeing at their Ottawa headquarters has been in the area of technical support and with our new professional and education services, it has created a strong platform for aiding in this job growth. “We look forward to working with Willis College exclusively on their security programs and recruiting their best and brightest students as soon as they graduate�

One year later, dozens of Willis College graduates have hired by Fortinet and hiring continues. “The Willis College students we have hired have been exceptional. Some of them have already been promoted and are doing very well in their roles. We are very happy to be a part of this partnership.� Said Ed Isaacs, TAC Director - Americas

August 14, 2012 Letter from Fortinet talks about outcome of their partnership: FortinetŽ (NASDAQ: FTNT) -- a leader in high-performance network security – is growing quickly, with an average growth rate of over 25%. To accommodate this explosive growth, we continue to expand our global presence, including our primary North America support center based in Ottawa.

Employers in the industry told us exactly what they were looking for and in response; Willis College delivered what they wanted, “said Rima Aristocrat, president – Willis College.

We have been particularly pleased with our innovative partnership with Willis College. Over the years we have worked with Willis College to leverage FortiQHWœV WHFKQLFDO H[SHUWLVH XQL¿HG WKUHDW management appliances, FortiGuard security services and technical curriculum to develop and expand Willis’ Technical Career program.

R E T T A N W RO F

Buying a new home can be a dream come true for many families. It will probably also be the biggest investment you will ever make in your lifetime. Not only will a home provide a sense of security, but it will also be the primary inheritance you will leave behind for your children.

But above all, buying a home is an investment that must be carefully planned and budgeted. That means you might have to push aside your dreams and take a good hard look at reality.

For example, what is your current situation, and do you expect it to change in the future? Are you a couple without children?

Do you have school-aged children? How many? How old are they? If it is just you and your partner, remember that it’s important for each of you to have your own quiet space to call your own.

Do you have family members with physical disabilities? If so, you may need extra space for special equipment. What are your hobbies and interests? Does this mean having a large backyard that can accommodate a pool, or a large living room for a home theatre system? Do-it-yourselfers might want a large garage or basement for their workshop, and artists might want to have a large, bright attic to work in. And don’t forget to make sure that you have ample bedrooms and bathrooms!

You also have to consider your finances. How much can you really afford to pay for insurance, taxes, utilities and a mortgage? Don’t forget to factor in the cost of maintenance and unexpected repairs. If you cannot afford to properly care for your home, its value will surely decrease over the long run.

EMC News - Elizabeth Snyder of LGBT Lanark County, addresses the crowd gathered in the foyer of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute on Tuesday. She served as emcee for the launch of a new anti-bullying initiative that involves the creation of 14 eye-catching posters featuring prominent local residents. The posters will be distributed to all schools in Lanark County.

new website,” noted Bindhardt “www.mtgt.org, where folks can also see photos of last year’s show, won by Almonte’s Impact Drumming Group.”

“A big change this year will be the location of the finale,” says show producer Fraser Scantlebury of the United Way, “which will be at the Mason Theatre, Perth and District Collegiate Institute on Friday, Oct. 26. For the past two years when we were in Almonte, we had fantastic support from the community – great audiences – and our host, Almonte and District High School. In keeping with the County wide nature of the event, we wanted to allow another community to show how they support the talent we have in our County. We’re excited to be going to Perth, and the Mason Theatre at PDCI, where our Emcee for the evening will be Brian Perkins from Lake 88.1. He will be joined on-stage by Donna Stratton from YAK, the Perth Youth Centre, and a guest appearance by last year’s producer/host, and the originator of MTGT, Jeff Gourgon.”

A new feature of this year’s event will be the ability of fans to vote for their favourite act, by donating $5 on-line to the United Way Lanark County.

These votes will be combined with the judges’ choices to select the five finalists, who will perform once more for the sole purpose of impressing the audience, as they are the ones that hold the power of who wins.

EMC Entertainment That’s right – My Town’s Got Talent is back for another year, and looking for the best talent in Lanark County to showcase at the finale in Perth on Oct. 26, presented once again by the EMC and Metroland community papers.

Auditions for this year’s show will take place the first week of October, with the judges stopping for one evening in Mississippi Mills (Almonte) on the 1st, Carleton Place on the 2nd, Smiths Falls on the 3rd, and Perth on the 4th, to select the 15 semifinalists for the show. At the finale, the judges, with help of fans in the county through an on-line poll, will select the five finalists, and the event will once again feature the audience selecting the overall winner from those five finalists.

“It will be hard to top last year’s event,” according to artistic director Christy Bindhardt, “where for the first time we had drummers, a spoken word slam poet, and a contortionist, in addition to an outstanding group of singers. This year, we are going all out, looking for all types of talent. Our new logo says it all – if you can dance, do poetry, drum, do comedy, or are the best entertainer in whatever you do, then we want you out at the auditions!”

This year, auditions will once again take place throughout the county, with the judges holding sessions at local high schools. “All of the details for auditioning are on this year’s

The treatment and prevention of diabetes is constantly evolving. At the Canadian Centre for Research on Diabetes, we believe that participating in clinical research is an essential way to help advancements in effective diabetes care.

We are currently participating in a variety of clinical research trials for which we are seeking volunteers.

In particular, we are looking for individuals who: • Have Type 2 Diabetes and are over the age of 50 • Are taking oral anti-diabetic medications or insulin • Have had a heart attack or stroke • Have high blood pressure or high cholesterol • Are looking to lose weight Study medications and diabetes supplies will be provided to participants free of charge. If you are interested in finding out more about this clinical research study, or about our research program in general, please contact research coordinators Emily Hall or Emily Knapp at (613) 283-8582 or ehall@diabetesclinic.ca; eknapp@ diabetesclinic.ca.

Help for Big Brothers, EMC CLASSIFIEDS GET RESULTS! Big Sisters is in the bag 613-283-3182

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland. com

EMC News – There’s going green, then there’s getting the green.

Then there are moments when you do both.

“I’m thrilled that we have picked to be linked with such an environmental fundraiser,” said Robin Heald, executive director of Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Lanark County, of their collaboration with Foodsmiths supermarket in Perth, which has netted them $537.

This is Foodsmiths’ first collaboration with BBBS but Heald certainly hopes that it will not be the last.

“We’ve planted the seed,” said Heald. “We’ve met most of our goals already.”

She applauded Food-

smiths for hosting what she called “third party events,” which help BBBS in more ways than just financially.

“We’re thrilled when someone does the event for us and all we have to do is polish up the cheque,” said Heald, who urged any group looking to fundraise on BBBS’ behalf to contact her Smiths Falls office first just to make sure that all of the I’s have been dotted and t’s crossed.

The money was raised through Foodsmiths’ monthly BYOB (bring your own bag) program, which collected the money this past July, about 10 cents per bag, and which was formally handed over to BBBS this past Sept. 5.

“That’s a lot of customers,” joked Claire Smith, the store’s co-owner.

Smith said that the im-

portance of the organization was brought home to her when she spoke with some volunteers recently.

“I realized what a need there was in the county,” Smith said. “We like to spread (financial help) around…to help support different organizations.”

Smith called BBBS one of the “foundation groups in the area.”

He still owns the car he drove in high school

By BILL SHERK

EMC Lifestyle - Do you remember the car you drove in high school? If we publish your story, you will receive an autographed copy of my latest book, “KEEP UP IF YOU CAN: Confessions of a high school teacher.”

Steve Fox of Barrie, Ontario, still owns the car he drove in high school: “In the summer of 1980, I was 13 and dad thought we should look for a car for me. Something we could work on together. I wanted a Mustang or Camaro. We went all over Ontario, visiting used car lots and checking the classifieds (no internet then).

“In 1981, dad saw a white convertible on Bayfield Street here in Barrie. We pulled into the driveway and saw a car that seemed to go on forever: a 1969 Buick Electra 225 convertible. It wasn’t what I had hoped for but dad said: ‘Let’s go for a test drive.’

With dad driving and me riding shotgun, top down, mild night, people looking at us, air rushing by, the sound of the big 430, I started to like this car. Dad said:

‘How much money have you saved?’ I said $500 from working at the family bakery.

He said that’s a good down payment and I could have it paid off by the time I get my licence!

“Before I turned 16, dad would take me to the Georgian Mall early Sunday mornings to practise parking, backing up, and as dad would say, ‘getting my sea legs.’

I turned 16, got my licence, made my final payment to dad, and had to have money in the bank for insurance, gas, and repairs. The Buick was now mine!

“High school friends made fun of my ‘boat,’ sometimes calling it ‘Grandpa’s grocery getter.’ But we had great times with that car, driving to Wasaga Beach, the drive-in theatre, and parties in Muskoka. It never let me down except when I ran out of gas.

“Now nearly 30 years

later, I still have my first car.

Those same people that made fun of it now reminisce about the good times we had when driving it in high school. Dad always enjoyed the car and I would often come home to find his car in the driveway and the big Buick gone with him for a drive.

“We lost dad in March 2009 but every time I fire up the big old Buick, he’s right there with me, enjoying the drive.”

If the story of the car you drove in high school is published in this column, you will receive an autographed copy of Bill Sherk’s latest book “KEEP UP IF YOU CAN: Confessions of a high school teacher.”

To share your story and photos, email billtsherk@ sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2.

Fun with Soils at inaugural MVFN Lecture EMC Lifestyle - The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists’ (MVFN) 20122013 public lecture series, Nature Beneath Our Feet, begins Sept. 20 with its inaugural presentation, “Lanark County Soils Fundamentals.”

You do not need to be an expert to enjoy the presentations—just possess a curiosity or appreciation for wild nature.

Cottagers, hunters, fishermen, canoeists, hikers, campers, artists and seasoned field naturalists alike will find something to interest them as we explore what lives in Lanark County and how best to protect it for future generations.

Refreshments are offered at each lecture.

The opening lecture will be presented by David Kroetsch from the Canadian Soil Information Service in Ottawa. This service publishes soils data, maps

and reports; Canadian soil science methods and standards; and maps of soils showing their properties and suitability/capability for various uses. David has taught the soils section of the Lanark Envirothon, an environmental training program for high school students, for the last 10 years. Just this summer, David was out in the field studying our county soils.

What did he learn?

Natural landscapes— typically we think of landscapes as vegetated terrain over varying topography, but soils can also be described as landscapes. David will take us beneath the surface for a tour of the county’s soil landscapes.

What would the early settlers give to be in the audience?

Soils contribute tremendously to biodiversity by providing plant and animal habitat. Did you know

ATTENTION

DEER HUNTERS! Garden Market

that the total mass of living organisms below-ground generally equals or exceeds what we see above-ground and that biodiversity is greater in the soil than it is on the surface by orders of magnitude?

A handful of grassland soil, for example, will typically support tens of thousands of different singlecelled organisms, such as bacteria, and hundreds of other species.

Our well-being depends on the nature of our soils.

For example, they provide

us with food and fibres.

They store, filter and transform nutrients, substances and water.

Raw materials They provide a source of raw materials, regulate climate, and archive geological and archaeological history.

What has new research regarding the relationships between soils and climate change, greenhouse gases, and carbon sequestration uncovered?

Soil is a natural resource.

Hike to the peak of Blueberry Mountain Fundraiser set for Sept. 30

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Photos submitted by Howard Clifford

CliffLAND is located at 502 Hills of Peace Road.

Registration is at 9:30 a.m.

The suggested donation is $10 per person or $20 per family. Guests are invited to bring a lunch and enjoy a snack provided at the top of the mountain. For further information, please contact Howard Clifford at 613-259-3412 or hclifford@xplornet.com.

EMC News - Howard Clifford (left) of the Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy and cliffLand is presenting a certificate inducting Ian Morison into the 80 Plus Club.

He and his wife Heather are from Scotland and were visiting relatives in Brockville who knew about Blueberry Mountain and the 80 Plus Club. They had an enjoyable nature walk to the top of Blueberry Mountain, also pictured during the fall.

EMC News - The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust Conservancy and cliffLAND has instituted the 80 Plus Club.

This is for individuals 80 years of age or older who have hiked to Blueberry Mountain (one of the Seven Wonders of Lanark County).

“We currently have inducted three members and interestingly enough one was a visitor to Canada from Scotland who was visiting friends in Brockville who knew about the club,” said Howard Clifford who is part of the land trust conservancy and owns the 1,250 acres of land that encompasses Blueberry Mountain.

“Assuming they successfully complete the hike they will be inducted at a special ceremony following the walk,” Clifford said.

Five or six more hikers will be inducted to the MMLTC 80s club at the annual fall walk on Sept. 30.

Guest speaker for the day will be Canadian naturalist, Ernest Thompson Seton.

Both MMLTC and cliffLAND think this is a creative way to demonstrate that the enjoyment of nature is beneficial and avail-

able to all ages, he added.

“The walk is about 5km and it’s at a slow and steady pace,” Clifford said. “If people over 80 can do it, it’s not a difficult walk and it’s for people of all ages.

It’s a nice hike, especially in the fall of the year.”

The land trust conservancy is hosting the Sept.

30 hike starting at 10 a.m.

From the top of Blueberry Mountain, the view is spectacular with vistas spanning over Flower Lake, and sometimes, when the day is clear, visitors can see some 30 km away.

“Sometimes you can see the tower at Calabogie,” he said.

This new 80s Club is also one of the ways the groups plan this year to develop partnerships with various health agencies to promote the relationship of wilderness to mental health.

Independent Living Workshops for youth in Perth lenge, especially where it concerns youth. They are a notoriously difficult population to engage. Through the workshops connections will be made with youth who would like to live on their own or are already living independently, to the services and resources available to them in their home community. This will help them to know what’s available to them, who provides it, and who’s eligible to receive it. The workshops are not going to end homelessness in the course of 10 weeks, but hopefully will connect some kids to the agencies and services that they are mostly likely to need living on their own, and ensure they have the most accurate information possible. This way, they can make informed decisions about moving out,

and gain an understanding for the complexity of independent living before they actually experience it.

Some of you are thinking these workshops are not for your son or daughter because they are not homeless, or likely to be.

Although the aim is to prevent youth homelessness through education and information, the workshops are free and open to all youth ages 16-24. The information and skills participants will learn are skills that are useful to many youth, those at risk of be-

We hope to see all of our members turn out and we welcome our Garden of the Month winners all of whom received free memberships for their hard work on their properties in Smiths Falls. Memberships for 2013 are now available and those who become new members are entitled to attend the balance of our 2012 meetings for free.

The guest speaker for September is Paul Posposil. Paul is a Master Gardener Emeritus. Paul is publisher and editor of Garlic News. He and his wife Mary Lou are owners of Beaver Pond Estates in Maberly. Paul will be speaking on Garlic bulbs and other...Please read his article as presented

by Boundary Garlic Farms of B.C. Be sure to click on part two at the bottom of the article (http://www.garlicfarm.ca/ garlic-growing-pospisil.htm).

The winners of our June ‘photo contest’, “In the Pink” were: Pauline Armstrong 1st, Aline Hicks 2nd and Marcia Phillips 3rd. The theme for September is “Nature’s Bounty” and the final contest in October is “Fall Glory”. The current standings for the year are close with Anneke Phillips and Pauline Armstrong in the lead, but with two more contests to go it could be anybody’s advantage. Please ensure to submit your photos to Jane and Marcel Turpin to stay in the running.

We congratulate our 2012 bursary winner, Christy Melvin

of SFDCI. A sincere thank you letter from Christy was read at our last Executive Meeting as well as a thank you letter from the collegiate. We wish Christy much success in her pursuit of a career in Horticulture.

We will have our final flower show for the year this month.

Please check your yearbook for all of the Divisions and classes and don’t forget to consider entering your Design in Division II. Entries must be placed by 7 p.m.

Our trips this summer were well attended with a pleasurable and well hosted visit to Paul Fritz’s garden on Oak Leaf Road near Athens followed by lunch served on the patio at the Fulford Mansion in Brockville. Some members enjoyed a guided tour of the mansion and we learned about the costly efforts of the Fulford family to restore the formal gardens on the property. A number of members attended Herbfest near Almonte. Next up is a tour of Jeanne Dagley’s garden on Bachus Island at 10 a.m. followed by a visit to Pauline and Larry Armstrong’s gardens at 115 Meadow Lane just past Port Elmsley. The Armstrong’s will host a potluck lunch. A sign-up sheet will be available at the meeting so that an indication of the number of members planning to attend and dishes required can be established. This takes place on Saturday, Sept. 22.

All members are invited.

Please contact our President Lorna at 283-0549 for any information you require about your own local horticultural society.

EMC Lifestyle - This summer, Successful Transitional Avenues for Youth was fortunate to receive a grant from the Harry P. Ward Foundation, based in Ottawa, to fund the “Brighter Futures Workshops”. They are a series of independent living geared workshops for youth wanting to move out on their own. The goal of the workshops is to prevent youth homelessness through education. To start, STAY is offering these workshops for 10 weeks in Perth; a great example of a rural community that has a wealth of community organizations and services available for its residents.

Puppies need a good start EMC News - Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is seeking loving homes for future guide and assistance dogs.

The volunteer position is called “puppy walking” but entails a lot more.

As a puppy walker, you foster a puppy in your home for 12 to 18 months.

The idea is for the pup to learn what it takes to become a “good dog” before entering formal training to become a guide dog or assistance dog to help someone in need.

You must be home most of the day or obtain permission to take the dog to work with you. You require access to a vehicle for veterinary appointments and training sessions.

All food and veterinary expenses are provided.

This is a commitment, raising and training the dog in your home, with the expectation for daily long walks in all conditions.

When the dog is ready to enter into formal training at the National Training Centre of Canadian Guide

Dogs for the Blind in Manotick, you must be prepared to give up the dog so that it may continue its journey as a guide dog or assistance dog.

Ownership of the dog is retained by Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

One person is responsible for the pup, but this is a great family volunteer project.

Pups are ready to be placed this fall. If the dog graduates, you get the opportunity to meet the client that your dog is matched with.

For further information on this volunteer position contact Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind at 613692-7777 or email info@ guidedogs.ca.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

All you have to do is call Open Doors for help in time of need EMC Lifestyle - September is here and at Open Doors for Lanark Children and Youth, we are noticing that our phones are getting busy. At certain times of the year, the requests for help from families in our community are more frequent than at others. One of those peak periods is the second half of September.

We know that many of our callers will be first time callers. It can be extremely difficult to make your first call to the agency for help.

We try very hard to answer every phone call personally so you do not have to leave a message for your first contact. When you call, you will be asked to give some basic information and then, a telephone appointment will be set up with one of our Quick Response Counsellors. We will ask many questions to help flesh out your concerns, develop an initial assessment, and make recommendations regarding what will help to make things better. We use a screening tool to make sure we get a good picture of what you see as the main mental health worries you are dealing with. We will share information regarding the mental health is-

sues that you are concerned about, and make sure that you have time to ask questions about the service options we are recommending.

Often we will recommend a short course of counselling (up to four sessions) to quickly resolve your concerns. Sometimes an extended course of counseling is recommended. Through counseling, you and your child will learn why they are having difficulties and how to deal with them. As a parent,

you will probably be asked to participate in sessions with your child, support your child’s participation in services, help reinforce what your child is learning and change some of your ways of interacting.

At your first face to face meeting with us, we will get to know you a little better, and develop a plan for addressing your family’s mental health concerns.

We will share information about the benefits and

Big Brothers Big Sisters Month in Lanark County

Mentoring him could be the start of something big – like a new

community centre

Every time you volunteer or donate to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County you start something – and it could be the start of something BIG!

We believe in the value of mentoring.

Mentoring her could be the start of something big – like a rise in

literacy

Studies show that mentoring helps kids stay in school, avoid risky behaviour such as bullying, and grow up having more respect for themselves, their family, their peers and their community.

Changing young lives can change life in our communities too.

Helping children reach their full potential can lead to positive community outcomes like a reduction in poverty and unemployment as well as safer schools and neighbourhoods.

What happens when a child witnesses the actions of a caring, civic-minded adult? Studies show that, as they mature, they are more likely to want to give back to their community in similar ways. We believe in the value and values of mentoring.

Big Brothers Big Sisters.ca

We know from experience.

For 100 years Big Brothers Big Sisters has been changing the lives of children in Canada through their mentoring programs. Serving as role models, mentors teach by example the importance of giving back and staying in school. Witnessing a child become a more confident, concerned, and motivated young person is a remarkable thing. For the Big and the Little, the mentoring experience becomes a life changing relationship built on friendship, trust and empowerment.

With each video, expect to see trail highlights, equipment reviews, gear tips... and a heartfelt, candid sharing of all his trials, bumps and bruises.

“I am very excited about

this man’s venture,” said Robert Groves, the President of the Rideau Trail Association.

“I know the Rideau Trail has been on his bucket list for a long time...I’m very much looking forward to following his ‘OktoberQuest’ online.”

The Rideau Trail was formed in 1971 and forms a continuous trail from Kingston to Ottawa with many side trails totalling over 400 km. It

is preserved and maintained by the non profit Rideau Trail Association.

The trail itself crosses terrain ranging from placid farmland to the rugged Canadian shield. The continuity of the trail is made possible by the generous permission of both private and public landowners.

EMC Events - This October Bruce Watts will be hiking the complete Rideau Trail from Kingston to Ottawa. It’s rare for anybody to complete this journey in one continuous trip...however no one has ever shared the adventure on the internet! He is calling the trek...”OktoberQuest”.

Bruce is a retired Ottawa police officer with a passion for the great outdoors. So much in fact that, that after he turned in his badge, he started www.campology.ca... an online camping magazine.

Thirty years in policing had its personal challenges, and camping was his therapy.

“I found escaping to the backwoods was a great way to handle the stress of the job,” relates Bruce. “It was my way of managing...mother nature gives me both healthy physical challenges and peace of mine.”

The complete trail has been on Bruce’s wish list for 30 years...however it was his diagnosis of melanoma skin cancer a month ago that pushed him to action. “There is no time like the present...in fact we have no guarantee of a future.”

So with a positive attitude, and heaps of skill and experience, a plan was developed and OktoberQuest was born.

This adventure will be like no other. He expects to hike 20-30 kilometres per day with everything he needs in his

EMC Events – Santa has made an early visit to Smiths Falls from the North Pole.

To benefit LAWS, Sept.

16, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., pet pics with Santa will take place at ZenDragon Martial Arts & Fitness, Smiths Falls. Come have your pets’ (dogs, cats, goldfish and even reptiles are invited) picture taken by a professional photographer with Santa and the World’s Largest Elf. Donations will be accepted per photo session. Folks are asked to bring their own camera as well.

Santa was recently contacted by a cat at the Lanark Animal Welfare Society. The feline had a letter made up by Kate Moodie of SendOut Cards, to say the shelter was in financial trouble and asking for Santa’s help, explained John Maloney from The Rideau Winery. The Rideau Winery, Smiths Falls and Coach Brian Paquette, ZenDragon are sponsoring this fundraising event. Also helping are Cynthia Wilkinson and Kyle Normandin and of course Moodie.

Santa and the World’s Largest Elf have been filming a series of short videos, which are appearing on The Rideau Winery Facebook page and will be on YouTube as well. Follow Santa and his cohort on their journey to help LAWS. The day of the event, Santa will be arriving on his Harley, folks are asked to bring their own cameras, and for a donation, have their photograph taken with Santa. Moodie will also be present to take photographs if needed. She will also show folks how they can easily take those photographs and incorporate them into cards for the holidays.

A barbecue will round out the day, and if there is a need the event will run past 1 p.m. Maloney noted no one will be rushed out, all

current financial situation does not change.

With monthly operating expenses of $80,000 per month and facing an average of $50,000 in losses every month the shelter may have no choice come the end of the year, said Judy Meyers, former president of the shelter’s board

Therapeutic riding program looking for volunteers EMC News - The Lanark County Therapeutic Riding Program offers specialized riding lessons to children and adults with physical and/or developmental disabilities throughout Lanark County.

The Riding Program is in its 26th year of providing this beneficial therapy, rehabilitation and recreation where horses are the helping partners!

The Fall riding season is just beginning and the program is looking for volunteers to assist with the riding lessons in both Perth at Cedar Rock Farm and in Almonte at Willaway Farm on Ramsay Concession #12.

If you are interested in being with enthusiastic riders, out in the fresh air and ready for a little exercise, come out and see what it is all about at a lesson that is in progress. Please call the number below for times and locations. No experience with horses is necessary.

GIVE SOMEONE

A

For people who have had experience with horses, techniques for leading a horse with a disabled rider on board will be explained.

Safety is the main concern for all who are involved in the riding program so it is important that volunteers learn how to be comfortable around the horses which comes with time and experience. If you are interested, volunteers are also given the opportunity to learn how to groom the horses and tack up to prepare the horses for the lesson.

The lessons run in the mornings and after school during the week.

This is a wonderful chance to learn some new skills and be involved in a therapy and recreation that provides physical benefits as well as social, emotional and psychological gains.

Some volunteers come out for one hour and others stay for the whole morning, the choice is left up to the individual.

If you would like more information or to register as a volunteer please call 613-257-7121, ext. #236.

Toast 2 tbsp. butter or margarine 2 tbsp. flour 2 cups milk 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine 1/2 cup frozen peas 1/2 medium onion, chopped 2 cans (213 gm) salmon, drained salt, pepper to taste Use a microwave-safe bowl or a measuring cup that holds 4 cups.

In the bowl, melt 2 tbsp. butter or margarine on High for 40 to 50 seconds. Stir in the flour until it forms a smooth paste. There’s no need to cook this mixture.

Add the milk all at once, and stir well. Microwave on High, uncovered, for 4 to 5 minutes. During this time, stir the sauce once every minute, scraping around the bottom of the bowl to mix in all the flour paste.

When the sauce is slightly thickened, cook it 1 to 2 minutes longer on High.

This time, stir the sauce every 30 seconds to prevent lumps from forming and the sauce from boiling over.

The sauce is done when it’s thickened and bubbly.

If you’re going to use the sauce for another dish, stop reading now.

If you’re making creamed salmon on toast, place the 1/2 tsp. butter, frozen peas and onion in a small microwave-safe dish.

Cover and cook on High for 2 minutes.

Stir the onion mixture and the salmon into the white sauce. Cook on High for 1 to 2 minutes longer, stirring every 30 seconds, to heat the salmon.

To serve, spoon over toast. Use 1 or 2 pieces of toast per person.

EMC Lifestyle - Of all the millions of recipes that exist in cookbooks, there’s one which is found more often than any other. It appears in cookbooks published around the world - from Eastern Ontario to France to Australia. You probably have it in at least one of the cookbooks in your kitchen right now.

The recipe is for a “Basic White Sauce”, and it’s made with three ingredients - butter, flour and milk.

In France, they call it “one of the great sauces”, but they also have another name for it --the “sauce mere”, or “mother sauce”.

And that’s probably the best name for this sauce because it’s the starting point for so many different recipes.

It’s the key ingredient for dishes ranging from soups to souffles, from scalloped potatoes to Coquilles SaintJacques. It can be flavoured with cheese, herbs, mustard or wine, and served over vegetables, meat, poultry or fish.

Although the basic white sauce has been used in both home and professional kitchens for years, it became a lot simpler to make with the introduction of the microwave oven. Now, the sauce is not only quick to prepare, but clean-up is a lot easier too, as you’ll know if you ever scrubbed burned milk off the bottom of a pot.

The recipe that follows is for creamed salmon on toast, a convenient and quick supper dish. It starts with a medium white sauce, and you can use this basic sauce recipe for any other dish that calls for it.

The microwave technique for cooking it is explained step-by-step.

EMC News – A year of work culminated in a new ATV (all-terrain vehicle) bylaw for North Grenville Monday evening.

Council unanimously passed the resolution regulate ATVs on municipal roadways at its council session on Monday night, but discussed the matter in-depth at the Sept.

4 Committee of the Whole meeting. According to director of planning and development Forbes Symon, amendments had been made to the bylaw to reflect comments made at a June 18 public meeting on the subject.

“At that point (public meeting) there was a tremendous amount of support for the ATV bylaw that would permit ATVs on the shoulders of municipal roads with certain restrictions,” he noted, adding that a number of suggestions to modify the bylaw were made and comments from the North Grenville Police Services Board (PSB) and OPP had also been taken into consideration. “…In response I have before you a draft bylaw that I think addresses the majority of the concerns,” Symon added.

After the June 18 meeting, stakeholders deemed the body of the bylaw to be sufficient, but changes were made to reference that ATV use is restricted to the built-up areas of hamlets and signage should be installed at these areas in hamlets to notify ATV users.

Another amendment permits ATVs on the boundaries of hamlets where this is very rural land.

The OPP/PSB’s list of con-

cerns suggested changing the hours of operation to reflect sunrise and sunset. In the previous draft of the bylaw, it stated that ATVs could be operational between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Symon said staff amended this to a half-hour before sunrise and half-hour after sunset, which mirrors provincial hunting regulations.

An exemption was also included for farmers, hunters and fishermen in the previous bylaw but the PSB recommended that clause be taken out as well.

“We eliminated the exemption for farmers, hunters and fishermen because the OPP felt it would be too difficult to regulate that aspect of it,” Symon commented. “Most of these types of activities are on private properties and don’t involve going on municipal roadways.”

One area Symon said staff didn’t side with the PSB was their suggestion that the ATV bylaw not come into effect until a formal ATV trail had been established.

“Staff felt quite strongly that it’s important to have an ATV-friendly environment and those who want to put the time and effort into establishing a club or trail want to be in a community that supports these efforts,” he stated.

Mayor David Gordon wondered if a fine structure had been put in place.

“We haven’t put a fine system in the bylaw but this (bylaw) would follow the fine system under the Highway Traffic Act,” answered Symon.

NGDHS open house this Saturday

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC Events – The North Grenville District High School (NGDHS) Alumni Association welcomes the community to help it begin a new chapter in the school’s history as it gets set to host an open house in the new school this Saturday, Sept. 15.

The new state-of-the-art facility on Concession Road next to South Branch Elementary School, opened its doors just in time for the 2012-2103

school season last Tuesday (Sept. 4). The alumni association is hosting the event, taking place from 1 to 5 p.m., in conjunction with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB), as well as NGDHS staff and students.

“We had the 75th reunion last year more or less to say goodbye to the old school and thought we would follow up this year with an open house and tour,” explained David Watson, chair of the NGDHS Reunion Committee and alumni association member.

“It’s a way for us to continue the alumni’s community efforts.”

Several activities have been planned for the afternoon, including free guided tours conducted by NGDHS students. Student Activity Council (SAC) members and Link Crew leaders will lead the tours of the new school.

“These are just a highly energetic group of senior students,” Watson noted.

released earlier this spring, the municipality worked with local ATV operators (including the Nation Valley ATV Club), the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville (UCLG), Ministry of Natural Resources, as well as the OPP. The final ATV bylaw contains strict terminology as to what constitutes an ATV, and allows ATVs on municipal roadways, with the exception of the urban boundaries of Kemptville (including Somerville Road), and the hamlets of Oxford Mills, Burritts Rapids, Bishops Mills, Oxford Station, Heckston, Peltons Corners or rural residential subdivisions.

“The only exception with traveling into hamlet areas would be to visit a commercial establishment for food

Other restrictions The bylaw also includes restrictions on permits, vehicle equipment and speed, which states that ATVs cannot be driven at a rate of speed greater than 20 km/ hour when the speed limited posted is 50 km/hour. Their maximum rate of speed can never be faster than 50 km/ hour.

“If the speed limit is 80 km/hour then an ATV can’t go more than 50 km/hour.

For most of our municipal roads where ATVs can operate, they won’t be able to go faster than 50 km/hour,” Symon said.

Kemptville couple benefits from Habitat for Humanity program

ways to help the Mann family.

“She suggested we arrange a fundraising dance,” said Poole.

In the end a website was set up and the Mann family, thanks to a generous neighbour, started living in a borrowed RV until they could get back on their feet. There was no question about abandoning their home. They were determined to rebuild it.

That was how the ball started to roll for the Mann family. The week after the fire there was much to be done. Lynn and Robb, who belong to the congregation of the Trinity Bible Church in Kemptville, asked for help. Church members were eager to come forward when they heard the family needed some assistance. A group went over to the burnt out home and started cleaning up. Pastor Shawn Ketcheson arrived with 20 to 30 people anxious to lend a hand. The group spent the week cleaning up what they could.

Lynn, a cancer survivor,

also had her cancer support group in Kemptville to back her up.

“They came to us and we were able to help,” said Donna Hicks, the CEO of Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region (NCR). “They asked Brockville first but they did not have the volunteers to do it,” she said.

The first thing that had to be done was convince the Habitat for Humanity NCR Board of Directors to make the Manns’ home the first ReNewIt project. “We went to the community and asked for donations,” said Hicks.

Once the board of directors realized the depth of support the family was receiving from their community and friends and neighbours they were pleased to make their home the first ReNewIt project.

“They had been working on this on their own. Someone needed to help them,” said Hicks. “Sometimes you just have to do the right thing.”

At the dedication cere-

mony Hicks told those there that there were lots of people who want to stay in their homes, and when people heard about the support the Mann family was receiving they were eager to join in and help.

There was a great deal of work to be done. A new kitchen, bathroom and two rooms had to be built on the ground floor level of the home. Upstairs, three bedrooms had to be rebuilt.

Ken Silver put together a building committee.

“RBC gave us seed money to get started,” said Hicks.

On hand for the dedication was RBC regional vice president Wendy Carroll.

“It means a lot to us and to the employees to be able to do something for their community,” she told those at the ceremony.

“RBC volunteers have helped to give the Mann Family back their home,” she added.

“You were doing something for people who you did not know,” he said.

“Out of the ashes we have a beautiful home for the Mann family to live in,” he told the people at the dedication ceremony.

EMC News – A fire that destroyed a home in Kemptville back in May of 2011 left a family homeless and wondering what they would do next.

Thanks to a new project by Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region (called ReNewIt), the North Grenville community and the RBC Royal Bank, the home has been rebuilt .

A special dedication ceremony was held at their home at 4381 Rideau River Road on Tuesday, Aug. 28.

Robb and Lynn Mann and their son Jeff and dog Mandy live on several acres of land in a home that has stood along River Road just outside of Kemptville for 140 years. The couple have lived in the home for the past 40 years.

The fire that took their uninsured home devastated them. Once the fire was discovered there was little the family could do but get out of and save themselves.

They had working smoke alarms in their home which made a difference.“I remember it was about 4 o’clock in the afternoon,” said Lynn.

“I was out in the garden and saw smoke coming out from under the gables at the end.

The smoke alarms were going off,” she said.

Within a few minutes the fire had engulfed their home.

The North Grenville fire services had been called but the fire moved too quickly. “After we got out of the house and called the fire department we leaned up against one of our cars and waited for the fire department,” said Robb. “That was when we took a deep breath and started thinking about what we would do.”

“The fire took everything.

We were overwhelmed by all of this,” said Robb. “It was a very emotional experience. We have lived here for 40 years and then we were out on the street.”

The week following the fire was busy. Lynn works as a coach at Curves in Kemptville. She asked Judy Poole, owner of Curves, about the fire. “I went to the bank to arrange for a special bank account for them so that people could donate, but found that the Rural Women’s Network was doing the same thing,” recalled Poole.

The Curves owner went to Wendy Chapman, the CEO of the North Grenville Chamber of Commerce, for suggestions about other

did, RBC branch manager Stacey Seymour was pleased with the results. “We insulated the entire house,” she explained.

The material for the project was donated or purchased wholesale. “Part of it was from the Habitat for Humanity NCR Gift and Kind program,” said Hicks.

North Grenville councillor Terry Butler was on-hand for the dedication ceremony.

He was pleased to hear how the community had stepped up to help the Mann family. He said, “We are lucky to have such great people in Kemptville.”

Standing with Lynn in their refurbished and rebuilt kitchen, Robb is philosophical about the events that afternoon in May. “There is always a silver lining,” he said.

The silver lining extends to the North Grenville community. The results of the ReNewIt project encouraged RBC to stay on board as members of the project and they will be continuing to help out. The community, church and RBC volunteers came away with a tremendous sense of accomplishment.

Trinity Bible Church Pastor Shawn Ketcheson summed up how the crowd felt at the dedication ceremony when he reminded them that there were so many people who were willing to help out even though they may not have known

North Grenville begins process of forming trails advisory committee

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Fresh off of last year’s North Grenville Integrated Trails Strategy, the municipality is now looking to implement the recommendations from that document through a trails advisory committee.

Director of parks, recreation and culture, Mark Guy, brought the matter to the Sept. 4 Committee of the Whole for discussion and the bylaw to establish the committee was passed at Monday’s regular council session.

In researching the formation of such a committee, Guy noted that other municipalities have found them to be positive.

“I’ve spoken to a few other municipalities who have trails committees and many had positive things to say and that a community committee helped progress the trails in their communities,” he explained, adding that he referenced the Town of Penetanguishene’s trails committee’s terms of reference to create the structure of North Grenville’s. “Certainly I think it’s important to have a community committee to move the trails strategy forward…that consultation with the com-

munity can be a good thing.”

In outlining the committee’s duties in his report, Guy stated that it “would assist the municipal departments responsible for the trail network with promoting and awareness, trail maintenance, researching funding sources and assist with trail development. Members would be recruited in such a way that there would be a strong cross-section of individuals who have interest in cycling, snowshoeing, equestrian and other non-motorized options.”

The committee would be required to report to council and under the terms of reference Guy submitted to council, he suggested it include a minimum of four volunteer members and one council representative who would serve as chair. The committee would meet at least quarterly with the chair being elected by the members at the start of each calendar year.

However, councillor Barb Tobin, who indicated she would be willing to serve as council representative on the committee, didn’t believe the terms of reference needed to be so rigid.

“To have a chairperson being elected every year and to say it needs to meet at

least quarterly, I don’t know if you need to define it that well,” she said. “This committee needs to have some life…we’ve had committees that flip people over and others that are stalwart and it’s hard to do. I don’t know if we want to close in the committee structure so much.”

Guy said that with the widespread community involvement in the integrated trails strategy process, he doesn’t expect finding enough members will be a problem. “The trails strategy has been well documented and well promoted and we had a fairly good working committee that assisted with getting that completed,” he explained. “I think everyone knows we’re building trails in North Grenville. It’s high profile. I certainly think we’ll get some great people to sit on this committee who will want to volunteer themselves.”

He added he has also begun receiving letters of support from area organizations, including the Kemptville District Hospital, on projects such as the pedestrian bridge over the South Branch of the Rideau River. “We could have a partner in the hospital,” Guy said.

“One of the good partners R0021330635_0329

on this would be the University of Guelph, Kemptville Campus,” added councillor Terry Butler. “They have an excellent trail system and we should also look at the (Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District) Health Unit and the Ferguson Forest Centre.”

Councillor Tim Sutton agreed with Guy that the chair should be a council member. “It’s best that way because we can keep the momentum going and keep the drive. This is important to council and to all of us at this table,” he said. “There’s nothing worse than having a committee where the chair isn’t able to have that leadership to keep the committee going.”

“I’m certainly open to that and the most important thing is to get the committee up and running,” Guy answered.

CAO Brian Carré reminded council members that should the terms of reference need to be amended, it could be done at a later time. “Sometimes with all the good intentions, things don’t work out as hoped and there’s nothing to stop you if this committee is established, in changing the terms of reference,” he stated. “If something could be more efficient, they can be amended.”

North Dundas to continue Open Mic Nights this fall EMC Events – The Township of North Dundas’ summer special events coordinator, Laura Casselman, has started something wonderful at the Old Town Hall in Winchester.

The premier venue has opened its doors on alternate Thursday evenings for local talent to strut their stuff on Open Mic Night.

With university beckoning, Casselman has passed the emcee duties on to local artist Ann Brady.

“The sky’s the limit with Open Mic Night,” Brady says.

“We’ve already been treated to an amazing variety of talent that has delighted our growing audience. Performers have ranged in age from 11 to 82 – pro, amateur, and even freshly-out-of-themusic-closet. We’ve even had kids get up and tell jokes. It’s a great place to relax with friends and be inspired. And if you are an emerging artist in any genre, Open Mic Night provides an excellent and supportive environment in which to develop and hone your talents.”

Meaghan Meerburg, acting director of recre-

ation and culture for the Township of North Dundas, says she is pleased that what started as a summer project is now a regular event at the Old Town Hall on alternate Thursdays.

“We hadn’t planned on this being more than a summer project, but Ann loved the idea so much, she’s volunteered to keep it going for us. We are thrilled at the idea of one of our own residents stepping-up for a program that the township started and that our residents are so passionate about. It shows that our programming is really on the right track,” Meerburg said.

The next Open Mic Night takes place on Sept.

13 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Old Town Hall, 478 Main Street, Winchester. It’s free, wheelchair accessible, and everyone is welcome.

The Advance - Your Community Newspaper

KYC executive director looks back on fulfilling four years with organization EMC News – Over the past four years, the Kemptville Youth Centre (KYC) has endured many changes and leading the charge has been executive director Stacey Tenbult.

The evolution of the nonprofit organization will continue now that the Kemptville native has announced she will be leaving her post over the next month. With an undergraduate degree from Carleton University and a Bachelor of Education degree from Nipissing University, Tenbult will be embarking on the next chapter of her life by pursuing a teaching career full-time.

Last week, Tenbult reminisced on her time at the youth centre, which began back in September 2008. She heard about the job while working in the parks, recreation and culture department at the Municipality of North Grenville and decided to give it a try.

“I had an interview and was lucky enough to get the job,” she noted. “I was only out of school for a few months so I was lucky enough to jump into this. It was such a responsibility and a great role.”

It was a role not without challenges as KYC was going through some restructuring at the time Tenbult came on board, who replaced former executive director Robyn Healy.

She was the only full-time staff person and the centre, located at 221 Prescott St., which had just a handful of programs and were seeking a larger, more permanent location. Tenbult credits former KYC executive director Joanne Harris and treasurer Wendy Boakes as a great help during this time.

“One of the biggest challenges was getting my face known to youth coming to the centre and those not coming to the centre,” Tenbult commented. “I ended up going into all the MSIP classes at North Grenville District High School (NGDHS) the first few weeks I was at the youth centre and that seemed to make a really big difference. The youth started to come.”

She also worked at enhancing the programming offered

by KYC. Tenbult established a popular healthy lunch program which joined the RBC After School Program and the Sports Night activities as the three core programs.

“Eventually I started cooking with the kids and that really took off and that’s how Cook Night started,” she noted, adding that Cook Night remains a popular program with the centre to this day. “It was something different to interest the youth and gave them a nutritious meal.”

“In that old centre, we would have 40 kids for Cook Night somehow. I don’t know where we fit them all in because we didn’t have much of a kitchen,” Tenbult continued.

Tenbult also started researching different options for buildings in town with the board and a committee was established to explore possibili-

ties. She remembers looking at all kinds of facilities, but it took a while to find one that would fit the centre’s needs.

“We wanted to find a good location in town that wasn’t too old or needed too many renovations and couldn’t be too far from the schools or downtown,” she said. “…We knew the Prescott St. location wasn’t our permanent location. It didn’t feel like ours,” Tenbult added. “It didn’t heat up in the winter and didn’t cool down in the summer. No windows would open and there was a limited kitchen. We knew we needed to expand.”

In 2010, the opportunity to purchase the former Kemptville Pentecostal Church at 5 Oxford St. West came about and KYC decided it was the perfect spot for them. That September they took possession of the building and started on renovations, ultimately making the move in November.

The major advantage of the Prescott St. location was that it was nearly directly across from the former NGDHS. “That location obviously brought in a lot of students from that school, but could be intimidating for students from other schools.

Now, we have many more students from St. Michael’s (Catholic High School) coming here since we’ve been in this location,” Tenbult said.

More than double the square footage with office areas, bank of computers, common spaces, a full kitchen and basement, the new building has reinvigorated KYC. “There was a major shift with the new building. Different youth of different ages didn’t have to be in the same part of the building all the time.

There were more options for them,” Tenbult explained.

Tenbult admits she’s seen the shift in the centre as the

Kemptville Youth Centre executive director Stacey Tenbult, right, seen with youth centre member Brooke Petersen, will soon be leaving the organization as she embarks on her teaching career full-time.

Tenbult has been with KYC since September 2008 and in that time has enhanced its programming and facilitated a move to a larger building. building is “more friendly and open” and has tried to increase the exposure of KYC in the community.

“I wanted us to display as much positive energy and be out in the community at events.

It lets the community know the different programs we’re offering and that there are programs for every youth,” she said.

“Without the support of the community, we wouldn’t be here today.”

She was also able to enhance programming with a bigger space. Cook Night, the after school program and Sports Night are still staples at KYC, but activities including regular movie marathons, fitness training and overnight trips such as camping have been added.

“We want to offer different

opportunities for youth that might not otherwise have those opportunities,” Tenbult said of the centre’s programming.

The recently reformed youth council has taken an active role in promoting the centre as well and KYC now has three full-time staff on board. “We need that staff to maintain what we’re doing. We have a lot of programs and are also in a re-

“Some (youth) have been coming to the youth centre since Grade 9 and have transitioned through Grade 12 and left last year. I’ve gotten to know the kids quite well,” she remarked. “I like the idea of youth coming here as a safe haven and that they want to be here.”

And many of her fondest memories of the centre she has run for the past four years involves those youth. “One summer, I had ‘KYC’ permanently on my arm,” Tenbult laughed.

“One of the kids asked me if she could write it on my arm all day and I finally said yes. So every time I got some sun that summer, ‘KYC’ would come out on my arm.”

“The best part is the youth that knock on my office door and want to come in and tell me about their day. It’s really nice that they are so comfortable.”

As she prepares to hand over the reins to someone else, Tenbult won’t soon forget the time she spent at KYC. “The biggest part of working with youth is that they don’t open up to you right away. You have to get to know them and see what they’re all about. That’s the number one challenge about this job, but you stick it out and it is so rewarding.”

The KYC board is currently advertising for Tenbult’s position and will be hiring a new executive director sometime this fall.

ally good spot volunteer-wise right now with a good group of longstanding volunteers,” she stated. “Without the volunteers, that would impact our programs. Sports Night is completely run by volunteers and the girls night we will soon be offering will be run by volunteers as well.”

With a solid board, staff and volunteer base, Tenbult believes she’s leaving the centre in capable hands. The decision to continue with the next phase of her career has “been on my mind for a little while.”

“When is a good time? I felt that right now the centre was at a positive place and it would be a good time for a smooth transition,” she commented. “I’ve been here for a few years so it’s a good time for me to step back and let someone else step in, but I will be assisting with some support through the transition as well.”

“It was absolutely a hard decision for me,” Tenbult continued.

“It’s going to be difficult. I do live in Kemptville and will be helping where I can once in a while. After living and breathing it for four years, it will be quite a change.”

Having always had a passion for working with children of all ages and helping at-risk youth or those facing barriers in their lives, the aspect of Tenbult’s job she will miss the most are those interactions with young people.

Merrickville-Wolford councillors suggest fleet replacement plan for aging vehicles

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With many valuable pieces of equipment coming to the end of their life, Merrickville-Wolford councillors Timothy Molloy and David Snowdon believe a plan needs to be created to deal with fleet replacement in the municipality.

Molloy brought the issue up at the Aug. 27 council session.

He said there are presently six public works vehicles, five of which are recommended to be replaced in 2013, based on the 20-year life cycle the municipality has for vehicles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we need, what I feel we need, is to start creating some dedicated reserves for our fleet so when the time comes to replace a vehicle thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a 100 per cent cost to the municipality at that time,â&#x20AC;? Molloy stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to have such a plan and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure why we stopped doing that.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, I think we need to bite the bullet and do this,â&#x20AC;? he added.

That list of public works vehicles includes two International five-tonne trucks used for sanding and plowing.

The sander is a 1991 model with 158,000 kilometres but 2013 maintenance bills are expected to be $4,000 (and is currently valued at $3,000).

The cost to replace it is estimated at $180,000. The 1993 plow truck is in better condition and worth about $10,000.

It has just 47,000 kilometres but has an estimated $3,000 in maintenance for 2013.

A 2001 sterling tandem truck valued at $20,000 has 135,000 kilometres but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s estimated will rack up $7,000 in repair costs in 2013. It is recommended to be replaced in 2013 and could cost $200,000. Lower on the scale are two Chevrolet pickups: a 1997 model with 315,000 kilometres that will need to be replaced at an approximate cost of $20,000; and a 2002 with 170,000 kilometres. The estimates on 2013 repairs for both range from $2,000 to $4,000.

Perhaps the biggest expense in terms of fleet re-

placement for the municipality will come in 2015 when a Champion 740 grader will reach the end of its life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 1995 model and is currently valued at $35,000 and has logged 14,000 hours. Its estimated 2013 maintenance is at least $6,000 and to replace it completely, the price tag would be $250,000.

What Molloy recommends to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get the ball rollingâ&#x20AC;? on a long-term fleet replacement plan is to dedicate monies received from the sale of the former Merrickville Public Library to public works fleet replacement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to remember that the old library did not belong to the library. It was a municipal building that was willed to us to be used as a municipal building,â&#x20AC;? he explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the course of time it became a library but the library itself has no claim to that money. Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sitting in a general reserve that can be used at any given time and my greatest fear is that we will whittle away at it and when we need the money, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be there.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;...We have an extensive fleet of vehicles and machinery and we need to be more

attentive to the replacement of these vehicles and equipment,â&#x20AC;? Molloy continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first step should be taking the money from the library and putting it into a reserve.â&#x20AC;?

Snowdon agreed with Molloy, but also said municipal staff deserve a pat on the back for their efforts in preserving the aging equipment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent work by staff to keep these vehicles in rotation as long as they have,â&#x20AC;? he stressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the maintenance at times exceeds the value of the equipment and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep these antiques forever. The equipment replacement could exceed $500,000 and we have zero allocated.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Doug Struthers admitted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;pressure is coming sooner rather than later,â&#x20AC;? and councillor Anne Barr suggested that a first step should be bringing the matter before treasurer Angie Sels and the finance committee for discussion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can review it and come up with a plan. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be astounded if there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a plan or notional plan already in place,â&#x20AC;? Barr remarked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I agree the money for the library is there and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meant for the library, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be-

lieve vehicles are necessarily the right target for the full sum. Things with a shorter life span we should treat as consumables.â&#x20AC;?

Council was in consensus with Barrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea and Struthers said that while the municipality couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to replace all of the vehicles, they could formulate a plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The economic reality may dictate to a degree, what our options are,â&#x20AC;?

Struthers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always going to the tax base to continue to offer services...some of the services require these types of equipment.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all old, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s try to spread them out,â&#x20AC;? added councillor David Nash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These vehicles offer the services these taxpayers pay for. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the equipment those taxpayers will be put out,â&#x20AC;? Molloy pointed out.

It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just public works vehicles that need replacement either. Molloy indicated that items in the Merrickville Fire Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and the streets departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fleet are getting old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has to be addressed also. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at a fairly extensive cost to the village and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to get any better,â&#x20AC;? he concluded.

OPINION

The Advance - Your Community Newspaper

New chapter begins

E

MC Editorial - While there is uncertainty in the air surrounding the provincial government and the teachers’ unions as they continue to meet head-on in some kind of cosmic clash, the new school year has apparently gone off without a hitch.

That is not to say that the issues up for debate are not important from the government’s and teachers’ perspectives or that some kind of conflict is unavoidable. All we can see that our school board and staff have been following a careful plan and journey that has nothing at all to do with contracts. Taking care of business could be a mantra heard throughout the summer months as school board employees worked hard to have their schools ready for the small, medium and large feet that were to fill their halls come Sept. 4.

In Kemptville, NGDHS was prepared to face their new family of students, a new format - a student body of Grades 7 to 12.

This is a new format which has been introduced for this school year in seven of the Upper Canada District School Board’s high schools. Others include Athens District High School, Brockville Collegiate Institute, Thousand Islands Secondary School, Carleton Place District High School, Almonte District High School and Rockland District High School. On top of this the board has introduced additional locations for full time kindergarten and Ready 2 Learn initiatives.

The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario also welcomed students back to their schools Sept. 4.

The provincial government has failed to “reach agreements with unions representing most of the province’s teachers and education workers” and recalled MPPs early “to introduce legislation that would force a new contract on teachers and ban strikes or lockouts for two years.” They went ahead with their legislation early this week despite loud criticism from teachers’ unions.

Another chapter detailing the new relationship between the province and teachers is being written in Ontario.

Teachers feel betrayed, government feels sure of itself and children just want to go to school. Let’s hope the students are still considered to be part of the educational bottom line.

People for Education, an education advocacy group, encourages “all sides remember that unlike nearly any other kind of labour negotiation, children can be affected.” And it adds, “Ontario has a very strong education system. The province, school boards and teachers have all worked hard for the last decade to improve it.”

A coop full of pheasants and one runaway chucker

MC Lifestyle - The Farmer managed to keep his pheasants alive this year. Well, most of them, anyway. They are quite difficult to keep alive when you first get them, each baby bird the size of a toonie, because they like to burrow under the bedding that you lay in the coop. We recycle everything around here, so the bedding is dry hay that was scooped out of the bottoms of feeders. The hay is the same colour as the birds. It’s pretty easy to step on one or two in the course of filling their feeders each day.

The wee birdlings are also very sensitive to any kind of draft or damp. We hang blankets in the windows and make sure the door is shut and latched.

The last time the Farmer tried to grow pheasants, a skunk or a raccoon (not sure which one) came along and

killed them all. It must have been some kind of Houdini, whoever it was, because the only point of entry to the coop besides the door is a tiny crack between the logs in the back corner.

This year the crack is covered with chicken wire. No one is getting in and no one is getting out, except through the door.

The pheasants and chuckers like to hide, so the Farmer put a big branch in their coop. Now all the leaves have dried and fallen off and it isn’t such a good hiding place any more. Time for a new branch.

When the Farmer slowly lifts the latch and goes into the coop (an old heritage log barn) to feed the birds, they all hide their heads in a “if I can’t see you, you can’t see me” ostrich maneuver—until the other day, when they decided to try something else.

The Farmer went into

The Accidental Farmwife Diana Fisher the coop with a pitchfork full of dry hay for new bedding. The birds all shuffled into the farthest corner and turned their heads to face the corner.

Except for Henry. Who is Henry, you ask? Well, according to my husband, Henry is the one who either

drew the short straw or just had the most adventurous personality, because he was elected to make a bid for freedom on behalf of the group.

As the Farmer stepped into the coop and prepared to pull the door closed behind him, Henry the lone chucker flew straight up and at the man’s head. The Farmer ducked, as predicted by the mischievous, conniving birds, and Henry flew out the open door to freedom.

The Farmer took a quick glance at the other birds to confirm that they were innocently cowering in the corner. Then he gently put the forkful of hay down and stepped back outside. There was Henry, flying like a maniac in no particular direction, shocked and amazed by the brightness of the sun and expanse of open sky.

Seeing that he would not be catching the runaway chucker anytime soon, the

Farmer went back to the business of covering the coop floor with hay, filling the feeders and checking the water supply. Then he went back to the house, and told me all about being attacked by his game birds.

“I do believe you have just written your own column,” I smiled. The Farmer doesn’t like to read this column because it is quite often about him.

After just one night on the outside of the coop, Henry must have been having sec-

ond thoughts about freedom. When the Farmer went out to feed in the morning, there was Henry, wandering around the edges of the coop, conversing with his friends through the chickenwire windows.

“Did you let him back in?” I asked.

“Oh no, no, no,” said the Farmer, shaking his head.

“That’s probably phase 2 of their plan. I open the door to let Henry in and they all fly out at my head. I’m not that dumb.”

By ASHLEY KULP akulp@perfprint.ca

EMC News – The United Counties of Leeds and Grenville (UCLG) is inching closer towards upgrading to a digital fire communication system and the Village of MerrickvilleWolford is the latest member municipality to approve the purchase.

During Merrickville-Wolford’s Aug. 27 council session, council endorsed a resolution for the United Counties to purchase the P25 Simulcast system. They also entered into an agreement with the UCLG for financing their costs towards the $3,779,996 system, which is $125,857.77.

The full cost of the project is $5,947,622 and the UCLG is responsible for the costs of the tower and backbone equipment at a cost of $3,779,996 (to be funded over 10 years through reserves), while the member municipalities, as well as the City of Brockville and Town of Prescott will be on the hook for the remaining $2,167,626.

They have agreed to provide a 10-year debenture on behalf of member municipalities for the purchase of municipal specific equipment.

“This is not a new issue and the county will be going from an analog to a digital system,” noted mayor and county councillor Doug Struthers. “...The county can be the lead in terms of making purchases for each

municipality and the lead on financing and we can pay our portion to the county.”

According to a memo to council from treasurer Angie Sels, obtaining financing through the United Counties would be attractive for the municipality.

“The county is offering to finance the purchase of the new communication system and bill the municipality on a semiannual basis,” she stated. “I recommend we take advantage of this option as 1) it will not affect our borrowing capacity and 2) we will be receiving a very good financing rate.”

Sels said council also had to choose a warranty option: either full coverage at a cost of $55,765.20 for five years which she noted “seems like an excessive cost;” or an occurrencebased warranty for $11,427.

“I recommend this option as the village will purchase extra components to have on hand in case of breakage and these extras can be used while units are being repaired. This cost seems much more feasible,” Sels said.

Council members were in agreement with passing the resolution and going with the occurrence-based route, but had a few questions. “How will the cost come back to us?” said councillor Timothy Molloy. “Will it come back to us as individual billing to each municipality or inserted into the county levy to us?”

Struthers said this would be separate from the county levy and the municipality would be required to make payments twice a year. The first payment is scheduled for Jan. 1, 2014 but the system, pagers and other equipment will be purchased next year.

“We’ll receive the equipment sometime in the course of 2013 but we don’t actually start the payment cycle until 2014, so that makes things a little bit nicer,” he remarked.

For Merrickville-Wolford’s $125,857.77 contribution, they will receive eight mobiles, 18 portables, one base station and 30 pager units.

In the long run, Struthers pointed out that the P25 Simulcast system will improve the efficiency of fire and emergency dispatch services.

“With this (system) all municipalities, including Merrickville-Wolford, will not have an issue with connecting with one another for fire protection which is very important,” Struthers said.

The current analog system is approximately 25-yearsold and as of December 2011, much of the equipment can no longer be supported. Presently, within Leeds and Grenville the emergency service communication has about 80 per cent coverage with less than that in the outlying areas. With the P25 Simulcast system, that will jump up to more than 90 per cent.

Kemptville Lion Gerald Christie a true Scarecrow decorating leader in North Grenville community contest open to merchants

By JOHN CARKNER

Photo by JOSEPH MORIN

Kemptville Lions Club member Gerald Christie. activities since he was 13 or 14-years-old.

Since Gerald has joined, he has served in almost every capacity, including a term as president. He loves being involved in the community and helping out when he can. He is also a volunteer cancer driver and has been a member of the Masonic Lodge for 20 years.

Sport is near and dear to Geraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart He is an avid golfer and an enthusiastic hockey and ball fan. He is, with his teammates at the time, a member of the North Grenville Sports Hall

of Fame. In 1966 and again in 1969, Geraldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team won the Ontario Fast Ball Championship.

Gerald truly enjoys giving back to the community he lives in and encourages others to get involved in Lions or another service club.

Shades of Gospel this Saturday One of the projects on which Gerald is a committee member is the Shades of Gospel community benefit concert, now being held for the third year in a row. Subtitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bluegrass,

EMC Events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Merrickville merchants can help usher in fall and celebrate the annual Merrickville Jazz Fest through a scarecrow decorating contest.

The contest is open to all merchants in the village and is being organized to promote tourism, encourage shopping, beautify Merrickville and to have fun and celebrate the harvest season. It runs from Oct. 6 to 14 but scarecrows must be constructed by Oct. 5. Businesses are encouraged to display their scarecrows for a longer period of time if they wish.

First second and third prize plaques will be presented to businesses based on the winning scarecrows as voted on by visitors. Voting will take place between Oct. 6 and 14 where visitors will cast their ballots for their favourite scarecrows in boxes located at participating merchants.

Visitors who take part in the voting will also be eligible to be entered into a draw. Local merchants are invited to donate gift certificates towards the visitor gift draw and can drop them off at Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Merrickville Country Store or call them at the number listed below.

Merchants are encouraged to construct their own scarecrows, but if additional

ÉĽF 5PVDITUPOF

help is needed, scarecrow skeletons will be available at Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Merrickville Country Store for $10. Please call them at 613-269-2575 by Sept. 15 to place your order.

We would be happy to deliver the skeleton to you or let us know when you would like to stop by and pick it up.

Please ensure your scarecrow contains no advertising, political or religious statements. Keep it fun!

Tips for making a scarecrow â&#x20AC;˘ Start with a wooden skeleton and use old clothing, wigs, gloves, hats, accessories, etc. â&#x20AC;˘ Use straw, newspapers, rags, recycled packaging for stuffing and twine and safety pins to hold your scarecrow together. â&#x20AC;˘ Give your scarecrow a name. Place the name of your business on it to make it easier for the visitors to place their vote. â&#x20AC;˘ Hammer the skeleton into the ground, a bale of hay, large pot with soil or gravel or tie to a post.

For more information, visit Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of Merrickville Country Store at 323 St. Lawrence Street in Merrickville, call 613-269-2575 or email info@millersofmerrickville. com.

Gerald Christie moved to Kemptville in 1950 so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifelong resident. Gerald married Betty in 1973 and they have two kids: Kelly and Shannon. He reports that there is a granddaughter on the way to keep his one grandson company.

Gerald is retired now. After graduating from St. Lawrence College he joined Municipal Affairs in Ottawa. That was in 1971. He was there for 30 years and the assessment job he started in eventually morphed into what is now known as the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).

Gerald joined the Lions Club of Kemptville in June 1971. He was 20-years-old at the time. Requirements were for members to be at least 21 years of age so, the meeting he went to in June was technically against the rules.

Country, a Little Jazz, and More,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show promises to have something for everyone. Acts this year include some who are back by request as well as new local talent.

Marleen Fawcett, Maple Hill Bluegrass, Nick Gummeson and South Mountain Gospel will all be there to thoroughly entertain.

Shades of Gospel will be held this Saturday, Sept. 15 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. Ticket prices are still holding at $22 in advance and $25 at the door. The event has been a sell-out for the past two years so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably a good idea to get your tickets as soon as you can.

Stay tuned for other upcoming Lions Club of Kemptville sponsored or supported events.

As the weather gets a little fresher, we move closer to some fun seasonal outings.

Remember, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to say hi when you see us out raising much needed funds or just supporting our community in other ways. And, as always, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve considered that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to give a little back, the Lions Club of Kemptville would welcome your ideas, inspiration and good humour.

See you soon.

John Carkner is a member of the Lions Club of Kemptville.

The first annual Heels and Wheels brings in $70,000

munity, “everyone should be supporting their hospital.”

Elsaadi felt that walking for her hospital was the least that she could do to help.

Troy Cross the executive director of the WDMH foundation said the idea for the fundraiser came from a desire to get people active on the same roads they used every day. There were 100 participants of which 14 were children and there were 12 different teams. The youngest walker, four-year old Syvanna Dow raised $342.

The top producing team was the Walking Wounded who came up with $6,705.

Daad Elsaadi raised $1861.

The chair of the WDMH Foundation Arnold Scheerder said, “ This is an absolutely fantastic start to an event that I know has many more years to come.”

The Walking Wounded were the top team fundraisers in Winchester District Memorial Hospital’s (WDMH) Heel and Wheel event with a total of $6,705 raised.

Above, from left: Jason McKenny, Sienna Benson, Darlene Benson and Joanne Giles with WDMH Foundation executive director Troy Cross. The group had few problems dealing with the terrible summer storm that swept through the area earlier in the day. Everyone gathered at the Lions Club in Winchester to celebrate the end of the Heel and Wheel event. Organizers had moved the finish line earlier in the morning from the WDMH hospital grounds to the Lions Clubhouse because they were concerned about the severe weather. Below, Daad Elsaadi raised $1,861 for the walk.

EMC News – Despite the day-long bad weather, strong winds and steady rain, the first ever Heel and Wheel event for the Winchester District Memorial Hospital thrilled organizers with a great turnout and more than $70,118 raised.

The entire amount of money raised by the 25 kilometer hike or ride goes directly back to the hospital.

There were 12 teams taking part in the event. The only compromise organizers made as a result of the inclement weather was to shift their end-of-event party from an area on the hospital grounds to the Winchester Lions Clubhouse a few blocks away. That was where all the action was as runners and bikers finished off their day-long efforts and enjoyed a fun party and great music and food. The music was from the band Conspiracy.

“We have been getting great feedback,” said event organizer Christina Enright.

Enright explained the success of the day was due to the small army of volunteers who made the event happen.

She said the communities in the area that hosted the four main starting points for the fundraiser had helped tremendously.

“All of the communities opened up their doors,” she said. Organizers had been planning the Heel and Wheel event for the past year but the actual day was affected by the weather as the entire region was blasted by thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. “We worried about it to a certain extent,” said WDMH Foundation chair Arnold Scheerder. “You cannot plan for the weather.”

The participants for the Heel and Wheel joined up from four main starting points in Osgoode, Finch, Russell and South Mountain.

One team, called Little Miss Diva, made up of Sue Cloutier, four-year old Addison Yorke and Lynn Anderson, all from Morewood cycled all the way through the bad weather to get to Winchester by around 4 p.m.

“We had a ride and a half,” said Cloutier as the group came to the end of their day.

“The wind was a killer but we will do it again,” she said.

Daad Elsaadi and Claudette MacMillan belong to different teams but shared the same experience. “We walked the 25 kilometers,” said Elsaadi. “It was exciting, well organized event.

Everyone was very kind and helpful,” said MacMillan.

Elsaadi, a cook, said she became involved after donating dinners to the hospital; and then realized she wanted to do more. “I am on my feet all of the time,” she said. Both women were dedicated to their hospital.

“Coming from another country,” said Elsaadi, she explained how fortunate Canadians were to have such a great hospital in their com-

Vancouver songstress appearing at The Branch Oct. 19

Submitted photo

Vancouver-based songstress Christa Couture will bring her blend of indie folk, chorus-like vocal arrangements and bluegrass-style pickin’ to The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill on Friday, Oct. 19 when she performs with Redgy Blackout. interwoven with new wisdom and experiences.

The lead track and first single, ‘You Were Here in Michigan,’ captures the moment Couture first felt happiness again, dancing naked in the rain at an American artists’

retreat. ‘Paper Anniversary,’ a duet with Jim Byrnes, is an exquisite love song for Couture’s husband. And ‘Pussycat Pussycat’ is a vampy recollection of the year Couture spent in London.

And then there are the songs

about carrying on. ‘Parasite’ is an electric-guitar driven indie-roots-rocker about being haunted by the “what ifs.”

‘Pirate Jenny and the Storm’ is a cabaret-style number, inspired by Couture’s childhood in musical theatre, that speaks of the memories she won’t get to share with her offspring.

The closing track, ‘The Way of the Dodo (The Living Record’ is like a thesis statement for the album – a song about the lasting impression of those who are gone. Yet, for as much heartbreak as Couture has endured, her life has been anything but two-dimensional.

She grew up in Edmonton with a mother who sang in a folk trio and a father who performed First Nations ceremonial music. Couture sang in choirs and performed in musical theatre and then moved to Vancouver to study at Vancouver Film School.

She worked in film and television for about a decade before returning to music and releasing ‘Fell Out of Oz’ in 2005. The album earned four stars from both TV Week and The Edmonton Sun, who wrote, “Couture and her guitar makes an almost unholy sound.”

Her follow-up, ‘The Wedding Singer and the Undertaker,’ won a 2008 Canadian Aboriginal Music Award for Best Folk Acoustic Album and Couture was nominated for Best Female Artist. The album was top 10 at CBC Radio 3 and went to number one on the National Aboriginal Music Countdown. PopMatters praised her “gorgeously intimate voice – somewhere between the tough vulnerability of Amy Rigby and the passionate, sophisticated folk of Joni Mitchell.”

Of the album’s devastating inspiration, PopMatters wrote, “It’s truly remarkable that listening to ‘The Wedding Singer and the Undertaker’ does not feel like the aural equivalent of ambulance chasing. This is down to Couture’s…at times, even playful skill with words, as well as uplifting production.”

The same could just as easily be said about ‘The Living Record,’ for while its story is uncommonly sad, it is transformed by Couture’s equally uncommon talent.

Christa Couture and Redgy Blackout will perform at The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill, located at 13 Clothier St.

East in Kemptville, at 9 p.m. on Oct. 19.

Cover fee is $10. For more information on this performance and others, please visit www.thebranchrestaurant.ca or call 613-258-3737.

EMC Entertainment – Vancouver singer/songwriter Christa Couture will her indie folk sound to The Branch Restaurant and Texas Grill Friday, Oct. 19.

Couture recently released her new album, ‘The Living Record.’ To say that it’s about “maturing through loss” will sound terribly cliché to those unfamiliar with her story.

Couture is an adolescent cancer survivor whose last album was inspired in part by the death of her infant son and who has had to endure even more loss as she’s sought to get back on her feet.

And yet, to say it’s inspired by tragedy leaves one singularly unprepared for the sound: bright, beautifully-orchestrated indie folk; sweet, idiosyncratic vocals reminiscent of artists like Regina Spektor and Jane Siberry; a luscious palette of sonic styles – fuzzy guitar, bluegrass-style pickin’, soulful cello, quirkly choruslike vocal arrangements and a touch of cabaret – and not a moment of self-indulgence to be found.

Produced by Steve Dawson, ‘The Living Record’ is ultimately an album about living – the aftermath of loss

Spencerville Fair now a happy memory as it wraps up for another year the parade ended didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to dampen the spirits of the people in the grandstand or along the parade route.

Unfortunately, Saturday afternoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Classic Country ReVu was cut short when extreme winds caused the fair organizers to ask the audience to leave the entertainment tent until the tent supplier ensured that everything was safe.

That having been done, Silver Creek hit the stage Saturday evening as the opening act for the headliners, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. A huge crowd of music lovers spanning several generations enjoyed a terrific show, singing along and dancing to the NGDBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four

decades of hits, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Bojanglesâ&#x20AC;?, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will The Circle Be Unbrokenâ&#x20AC;? and, of course â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fishinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the Darkâ&#x20AC;?.

The NGDBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s set finished with them inviting Silver Creek to join them on stage for a couple of tunes, much to the delight of the audience.

Sunday afternoon saw the entertainment tent packed with traditional country fans eager to see Hall of Famers Connie Smith and Stonewall Jackson, as well as local performers Kelli Trottier and Fred Ducharme and his band Ninth Line.

The 157th Spencerville Fair is now in the books and the planningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s begun for the 158th in September 2013!

GARDENERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CORNER

Focus on Fall Here we are, the middle of September.

What is there for a gardener to do ?

Lots. This is probably second only to the spring for gardening tasks. Now is the time to plant your garlic, cut back your ornamental grasses and sedums, deadhead your hydrangeas, hostas, and daylilies and start to collect seeds for next year.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to empty your containers and get them out of the weather. A terra cotta pot left out in a frost is done. Bring them in, soak them in a mild bleach solution and they will be good to go next spring.

Mulch your roses and anything that is tender. It is also the best time to overseed a lawn that has had the worst summer ever.

Grass seed likes cool nights for germination and moisture for the ďŹ rst four or ďŹ ve days.

It will come back.

Water your trees and then water your trees again. There is no moisture in the soil this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great year if you like to sun bath but if you are a gardener itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one of the worst. Not to be discouraged. This has been a terrible year for nurseries and garden centres, trust me. The good news is that most have their perennials on sale.

This is a great time to pick up bargains and put things in the garden that will save you money and look great next year. Write off this year and plan for the bounty of next year.

This is also a great opportunity to see which plants and trees managed to do

reasonably well in this drought. It will give you a much better idea of what to plant in the future. Native species tend to do better, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here and done that.

As Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said before, every year I take a ďŹ&#x201A;ier on something that is borderline hardy in our zone. My peach tree is doing just ďŹ ne. I do look after it. I did take pity on a ďŹ&#x201A;owering dogwood this year and after transplant it went into a serious pout.

Many of the leaves dried up and it did not look well. The good news is that after removing the dead leaves and treating it with bone meal and lots of water, it is sending out new growth leaves. Hope springs eternal.

Get out in your garden and do the clean up. Then sit back and enjoy the autumn evenings and start dreaming about what will come in the spring. Plan the colours and the textures you want and look forward to the arrival of gardening catalogues when the nights are dark and cold.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all a cycle. New growth, full blooms, setting seed and then getting ready for next year. Not unlike the way we live our lives. Do the best you can and make the world a better place to live.

Gardeners rock.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The 157th Spencerville Fair is now in the memory bank. Despite the terrible weather all around us, Spencerville managed to get through the weekend with just a few showers and a whole lot of wind.

Overall, the attendance matched that of 2011, with Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers down from last year due to the iffy weather all around and Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful day bringing a larger crowd than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rainy Sunday.

The fair kicked off with a great turnout for the opening ceremonies on Thursday evening, which featured the inaugural presentation of the Award of Merit to 84 year-old Muriel Irving. Muriel received a park bench in recognition of her 48 years of volunteer service to Spencerville Fair.

Attendees at the opening ceremonies also got to meet the 2012 Ambassador, 17-year-old Taylor Bonvie of Brockville who was selected on July 21.

Friday was kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day at the fair with school children being bused in to enjoy ride-allday bracelets on the midway.

Friday evening showcased the Little Sir and Little Miss competitions as part of the Family Show in the Drummond Building. The 2012 Little Miss is Jenny Learmonth, whose mother Sarah Bush was Fair Ambassador in 1999. The Little Sir winner was Daniel DeCruz, son of Nikki DeCruz, Fair Ambassador in 1992.

Friday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Show also saw the following winners in the Talent Show: â&#x20AC;˘ Vocals Under 12 - Mikhala Austin of Prescott â&#x20AC;˘ Instrumental Under 12 Katrina TeGrutenhuis of Spencerville

Kemptville 73’s kick off 2012-2013 season at Fall Showcase on a power play. Gonu and Jesse Lussier set up the goal.

But Kanata roared back and scored one of their own 1:04 seconds later. But 29 seconds after that, Joey House, assisted by Matt Rosebrook and Stephen Cooney, restored the two goal lead.

Kanata added on to their total to trail the 73’s 3-2 at the intermission.

In the third, the Stallions scored on a power play to tie the game at 3-3. The balance of the period and the overtime was scoreless. Kanata prevailed in the shootout to earn the 4-3 victory. Lucas Gonu was named third star for his two point performance.

EMC Sports – The 20122013 CCHL season kicked off on Friday, Sept. 7, at the Kanata Recreation Complex with the annual Fall Showcase.

All twelve teams were scheduled to play two games each over the course of the weekend. Due to an ice scheduling conflict, only eleven games were played.

The game between the Hawkesbury Hawks and the Ottawa Junior Senators will be played at a later date.

The weekend was well attended by spectators and hockey personnel. Scouts representing the National Hockey League (NHL) teams from Ottawa, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Minnesota, Nashville, San Jose, Chicago, and Vancouver and other markets as well were present.

Also, evaluators were there from the National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA) and the Central Scouting bureau.

The OHL was represented

by Ottawa, Sudbury, Windsor, London and Niagara while Gatineau, Shawinigan and PEI represented the QMJHL. Recruiters from many NCAA schools were also there. Some of the schools looking for players were Holy Cross, Mercyhurst, UMASS, Penn State, Princeton, Yale, Maine and Hobart just to name a few.

The opening game of the night featured the Carleton Place Canadians defeating the Cumberland Grads by a score of 4-3. The Kemptville 73’s were the home team facing off against the

It would be a challenge for the 73’s.

The 73’s didn’t wait long.

The puck drop was at eight o’clock and Lucas Gonu scored for Kemptville 1:05 later. James Devlin picked up the assist.

The rest of the first period saw the play being a little tentative from both teams.

The second started much the same as the first period.

HEADING UP ICE Matt Tugnutt of the Kemptville 73’s prepares to make a dash up the ice with the puck during a Sept. 8 game against the Pembroke Lumber Kings as part of the CCHL Fall Showcase to kick-off the 2012-2013 season which took place at the Kanata Recreation Complex last weekend. The 73’s dropped a pair of close games during the opening weekend of action, 4-3 in overtime to the host Kanata Stallions on Friday and 4-3 to the Lumber Kings on Saturday.

73’s 8, the 73’s faced the always dangerous Pembroke Lumber Kings. Special teams would decide the outcome of this game.

In the first period, the Kings scored a power play goal and a shorthanded goal to hold a 2-0 lead at the break.

In the second Joey House, with assists from Lucas Gonu and Blaine Byron, notched a power play marker to cut Pembroke’s lead in half.

With just 15 seconds to play in the frame, the Kings scored another power play goal to restore their two goal lead at the intermission.

The first minute of the third period, Kemptville’s Stephen Cooney, got another power play goal unassisted.

Pembroke answered back to take another two goal lead but Cooney got his second of the night to pull Kemptville within one.

The goal was setup by Matt Rosebrook and House.

In the last minute, Kemptville pulled their goaltender in favour of the extra attacker and were almost rewarded.

They came close, ringing one off the post, but Pembroke hung on for a 4-3 victory.

Stephen Cooney was awarded the game’s second star with his two goal performance.

The new uniforms looked very good and the fans who were unable to attend the games in Kanata will see them this Friday, September 14, at the home opener. The

COADY, Sean Douglas In loving memory of our dear son, who tragically was taken too soon, September 16, 2006.

Every day our hearts are filled with sorrow, Wondering how we will make it through tomorrow.

Our time with you was precious, And the memories we have are too.

The love we share together keeps us close to you.

Maybe we cannot touch your hand or see your smiling face, Maybe we cannot hear your voice or feel your warm embrace, But, there is something we will always have, Tucked safely in our hearts, Our love for you… your love for us… will never let us part.

“Those we love stay with us always, locked in our hearts as long as our life remains.”

Love, Mom and Dad

COADY, Sean Douglas Remembering my fun and loving brother… my best friend… who left this earth, much too soon, September 16, 2006.

Si x years have passed… not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish for one more laugh, one more hug.

Time passes… the grief remains, but I know that you would say…

Keep my memory with you, For memories never die.

I will always be there with you, When you look up in the sky.

When your heart is heavy And you feel you are alone, Reach deep down inside yourself For your heart is now my home.

I will always be there with you I will never go away I will live on within your heart Each and every day.

“In my mind I see you and in my heart I keep you…”

Love, Erin

Just inside the main entrance of the C.R. Gamble Funeral Home is a book of remembrance. Each day we turn a page in the book. The names of those we have served are inscribed on that date along with the year in which they passed away. It is our way of honouring and remembering a life that was lived. It is also our way

Some families are unable to visit this book on the anniversary of the death of those they love. For this reason we are proud to publish these names weekly as our way of saying...“We Remember”.

GARDINER, Elizabeth Anne - June 20, 1958 September 12, 2009.

We little knew that morning God was to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone.

For part of us went with you, The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.

Our love is evergreen Love you forever Dad and Allen

In loving memory of Steven McCartney September 12th, 2011 You were taken from us one year ago Can the pain within our deepest fibers be transformed?

It is a choice.

To struggle and battle our way back to some sense of normalcy Not the normalcy we once lived but to a place where we can find joy in one another, the sunset, a moment of success and the people God has placed before us.

Turn the pain out Focus on what is good and what we can contribute during the time we have left.

We are not alone in our anguish Suffering is interwoven into this journey called “life”.

No one is immune.

Upon this realization we will fight our way back Because that is what you would have wanted.

We will forever love you and miss you Shawna, Sierra and Karson

SIMPSON - In loving memory of our dear sister and brother, aunt and uncle, Marguerite and George who were so tragically taken from us twenty five years ago, September 9, 1987.

Always loved and sadly missed Your sisters Gladys and Ken Scharf, Eileen and Harry Acres and our families

Linda Joan Kehoe 1952 - 2011 This is a letter from Heaven… to you Mom! When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, the way you did today, While thinking of many things, we don’t get to say.

I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, And each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me to.

When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, For every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.

Love always, Angie (String), Melanie (Chris), Christina (Norm), Carole (the late Ian), Angel, Grandhildren and Great Grandchild

PORTEOUS, Ronnie – October 14, 1943– September 7, 2008.

Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday.

Missing you is a heartache that never goes away.

We hold you tightly within our hearts and there you will remain.

Life goes on without you but it will never be the same.

Never forgotten, always missed. Love you Dad. Carly & Kayla Porteous

MARKS, Rob- February 23,1973 - September 16,2001. In loving memory of our Daddy, Son, Brother, Brother-in-law and Uncle.

And in memory of our Grandpa Levi (Lew) Baker May 10, 1995 September 22, 1971.

The Voice of the Wind When the warm breeze of April caresses you part of it will be me.

When you look in the eyes of my children part of them will be me.

When a snowflake of winter plants a kiss on your cheek, that kiss might well have been me.

And the dust which appears out of nowhere may be part of the dust that was me.

Through the promise of morning and the voice of the wind I will always have something to say.

To reflect on those wonderful moments and warm you as you make your way.

All things that we both were a part of will continue to brighten each day.

Making room for the sound of your laughter by remembering I’m not far away.

By David Garred Always in our hearts Nick, Kyle & Kassie Dad, Mom & Chris Cindy, John & Dana

Carleton Place swept CCHL Showcase games; Smiths Falls and Kemptville were competitive

By JEFF MAGUIRE

EMC Sports - There is a long season ahead, but for area teams in the Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) optimism is high after some very positive results in the season-opening CCHL Showcase in Kanata last weekend.

Carleton Place Canadians, fourth place finishers in the 12-team loop last season, were one of only two teams who swept their showcase encounters. The other was perennial league champion Pembroke Lumber Kings.

Smiths Falls Bears, who grabbed the eighth and final post season position last spring, split their season opening games scoring a dozen goals in the process.

Kemptville 73’s, who are under new management this season, dropped both of their outings in the weekend competition.

However, both were onegoal losses including a 4-3 setback at the hands of the always tough Pembroke team Saturday night.

The new Kemptville ownership group includes former Ottawa Senators (NHL) goalie Ron Tugnutt. Management hopes to improve a team which has made the playoffs just once in five years and has yet to win a post season contest.

One thing the showcase clearly demonstrated is that heading into the season every team in the 12 team loop is competitive.

The event was played Friday to Sunday at Kanata Recreation Complex and featured 11 games in three days under one roof. Seven were decided by one goal and six teams finished the weekend 1-1. Two contests were settled in overtime while one game went to a shootout!

The only glitch was an unexpected ice-time conflict Sunday which forced the league to scrub the scheduled game between Ottawa Junior Senators and Hawkesbury Hawks. It will be rescheduled.

League President and Chief Operating Officer Kevin Abrams is delighted with the way the new campaign has begun.

“Another year of excellent exposure for our players is underway,” he said Monday.

“We had 19 NHL teams among the over 100 organizations in attendance. Over half were NCAA coaches.”

The league hosts two showcase events, one to open the campaign and the other just before Christmas.

Both are major attractions for hockey scouts from the National Hockey League

and Canadian Major Junior teams, but especially for coaches from the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the United States.

American colleges and universities are a magnet for CCHL players who seek to combine hockey with education. Scores of players from the league win scholarships to U.S. schools. A number use the experience as a springboard to reach professional hockey including the NHL. Good balance Heading into the regular season Abrams is especially pleased with the balance in the Tier 1 Junior A league.

“The competitive balance was evident and we anticipate six months of great junior hockey in the CCHL,” the president and COO says.

Ten teams opened the season with two weekend contests in Kanata. As mentioned, Pembroke and Carleton Place were the only sides to sweep their showcase outings.

For the first time in six years Pembroke is not the defending CCHL champion as the long regular season begins. That honour belongs to Nepean Raiders who needed seven games to get past Cornwall Colts in last spring’s league championship series.

Raiders opened with a 4-3 win over Hawkesbury Saturday. On Sunday night they were edged 2-1 by Cornwall in the final game of the showcase.

Nepean head coach and general manager Peter Goulet is excited about the season ahead.

“It’s a good league.

You’ve got to show up every night if you expect to win in this league,” he told the EMC Monday.

Despite the fact some key players from last year’s championship team have now moved on Goulet is confident Raiders have added quality replacements.

“We have lost a lot of players, especially three big guys on defence. But I think we’ve recruited well.

We should be fine.”

Carleton Place posted the only shut out of the weekend, blanking Gloucester Rangers 6-0 behind a 20 save performance by newcomer Matt Couvrette Sunday evening.

For Couvrette there was a little bit of revenge involved. He played for Rangers briefly before joining Arnprior Packers of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League (Junior B) midway through last season. Couvrette, a 19-yearold from Ottawa, was a major factor as Packers

went on to claim the Valley Division championship in the EOJHL. “I was impressed by Matt last year,” says Carleton Place head coach and general manager Jason Clarke.

“Now he’s with us and we are glad to have him.”

Clarke was also pleased with the work of his other net minder Justin Laforest in Friday’s 4-3 win over Cumberland Grads.

“Justin had an outstanding game. We’re not as gifted offensively this season. So if we get good goaltending and defence that will be a big plus for us,” Clarke observes.

Canadians are hoping to advance farther in the league playoffs next spring.

The fourth year club had an outstanding regular season in 2011-2012, finishing a strong fourth. But they were the victims of a surprising sweep at the hands of Hawkesbury in the opening round of the playoffs. It marked the second straight campaign in which they fell at the quarter final pole.

Although satisfied with their start on the weekend, Clarke is also realistic!

“We did some good things and it was a really positive weekend. But there is a lot we need to work on.

“The boys played hard

and were competitive – a good start for sure.”

In an earlier newspaper interview leading up to the campaign Clarke said, “We’ve got a lot to prove as an organization. It’s a long season but our goal is to go deeper in the playoffs.”

Lumber Kings, who won five consecutive championships before losing out to Nepean in the semi-finals last spring, have started strong.

Pembroke, who won their first national title in the spring of 2011, went 5-0 in the pre-season and then won both of their showcase games on the weekend.

The only teams who failed to win in Kanata were rebuilding Kemptville and Cumberland. But like Kemptville, Grads suffered a pair of one-goal defeats including a 7-6 overtime loss to Smiths Falls on Saturday night.
