EMC News – The Perth Youth Action Committee (YAK) is now $949 the richer thanks to an area network of Anglican churches. The Anglican Parish of Maberly-Lanark has been taking part in a second, five-year program of donations and “we have about $5,000 to give to local charities,” said organizer Anne Graham of Lanark, who presented YAK with a cheque on Wednesday, Aug. 22. About 50 per cent of the funds went towards diocese programs, while the remaining 50 per cent went towards charities chosen by the four churches in the parish – St. John in Balderson, St. Paul in Lanark, St. Alban’s in Maberly and St. Stephen’s in Brook.

The program is called the “Growing in Faith Together Gift program,” and is made up entirely of individual donations. “People were visited in the congregation, to have it explained (to them),” said Graham of the home visits. “We’ve just been overwhelmed by the support and to have it come back to our area. It’s pretty exciting for us as a group to be able to do that.” She added that the charities who were contacted about the money were “very pleased,” to hear the good news. “The idea was to bring us together and I think it has,” she said.

REAL launches Stone Soup Sharing Garden By MARLA SHOOK mshook@perfprint.ca

EMC Lifestyle – The Rideau Environmental Action League’s Stone Soup Sharing Garden (part of REAL’s Community Garden) was announced Aug. 23, during a mid-summer planting session held that afternoon. While the REAL (Rideau Environmental Action League) Community Garden has been in existence in some form since 2010, this year the organization launched the Stone Soup initiative. This move was made, after the garden had been visited by, “mystery harvesters”, in 2011. These harvesters were stealing items from plot holders’ beds. The concept for the Community Garden is simple. It is just that, a community garden. There are eight beds around the perimeter of the location. These are tended by individuals and are for those individuals’ use only. These plots must be spoken for, and again, used only by the individuals who tend them. This year there are three organizations whom have staked their claim on beds, including the Mills Community Support Corporation, Skills Link and the Smiths Falls and District Club for Youth. The Stone Soup Sharing beds, clearly labeled and marked, are in the centre of the location – it is these beds and only these beds that are for anyone in the community to access. And while this year it has so far been accessed by a groundhog they know of, who cleared the garden out of beans, there are tomatoes coming on. Skills Link has been tending to the Stone Soup Sharing plots. The term “Stone Soup” came from an old folk story. The tale begins with hungry strangers and reluctant villagers eventually contributing little bits of food to a soup pot, which began with just a stone and some water. What was created was a de-

The secondary intention of that afternoon’s session was to speak to seeds, which can be planted at this point in the season. In attendance was Cheryl Nash from ecoPerth, Skills Link, the Smiths Falls and District Club for Youth, the Smiths Falls Community Health Centre, REAL, and Canada World Youth. Nash was instructing those in attendance that, “gardening doesn’t just happen in the spring.” And was aiding those in attendance to plant proper seeds in bare locations throughout the plots. She brought along with her seeds for onions, beans, spinach and more.

Audience members keenly took interest in her presentation including the group from Skills Link. This summer the Skills Link crew has accumulated over 2,000 hours of community service between its eight to 12 members. They have showed up to many events and earlier this summer even designed, built and painted a children’s height, wheelchair accessible picnic table for the children’s community garden in the Lanark County housing complex located on Empress Street, Smiths Falls. The Rideau Environmental Action League is a nonprofit organization which features and promotes community wide environmental projects and improvements within its coverage area of

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.

EMC Entertainment - Have you ever wondered how the Mississippi Mudds got their quirky name? Well, our beloved home in the glorious and historic Carleton Place Town Hall on the banks of the Mississippi River explains one part. And the letters M.U.D.D.S. tell of the MUsic Dance and Drama on Stage that this local community theatre group has been bringing area residents since 1974. All the aspects of that signature acronym promise are well covered with the exciting line-up of five new shows for the 2012-2013 season. To start the season: “He hates women. She hates men. It’s a perfect match.� And perfect material for our teen youth members. They have been studying the script and in rehearsal since June for an October 19 and 20 presentation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. This talented young cast, several of whom you will recognize from their much praised presentation of Macbeth last fall, brings energy and excitement to the verbal sparring, flashing wit and romantic shenanigans of this classic comedy. As we go into September we are looking at a busy month for many Mudds members, as rehearsals get under way for three more shows. Right after Much Ado About Nothing, we have Murder Me Always. This entertaining evening of dinner theatre — always a popular treat for adult audiences — is to be presented at the Town Hall in partnership with Ballygib-

Take back the night sends message of hope EMC Events - There is one guaranteed experience your daughter, niece, sister will face that the men in your life might not. A fear that will invade her body with a quickened step, a racing heart and a furtive glance over her shoulder every few steps. Every shadow will be scanned and every sound will echo with the possibility of danger. This is the reality of a woman’s walk at night. It is a very different reality than most men will face. Since the mid-1970s women have been rallying together to demand their own streets be made safe for them. “Take Back the Night� was born out of the outrage in response to the fatal stabbing of Susan Speeth, a Philadelphia woman who was attacked by a stranger one block from her home as she walked back from work one evening. It has now grown into an internationally recognized event that says, “Enough!� Enough of women having to walk at night in fear of being raped and assaulted or murdered. Enough of telling women to stay home after dark so they can be safe.

This march and protest is a way of clearly saying it’s not good enough to keep women trapped inside their homes after dark but rather the streets of their own communities

This year’s event will be held Thursday, Sept. 20. The gathering begins at 6:30 p.m. in the park behind Carleton Place town hall, with the rally and march set to begin at 7 p.m. should be made safe for them to walk at any time. For the past five years, Carleton Place has been host to one of the most well-attended rural Take Back the Night Marches in Canada. Even on the soggiest of nights, local residents turn out with their banners and noise-makers in record numbers. All to demand that a woman’s right to walk our streets safely be upheld.

Pike Falls continues to GIVE SOMEONE A SECOND CHANCE. Discuss organ donation with your family. send kids camping Brothers and Big Sisters of Leeds and Grenville also received camp funding thanks to two key volunteers of the Seaway District, Ken Blair and Frank McIntyre. The staff of Pike Falls would like to thank the many businesses as well as all the people who have assisted over the years to make all the events successful. They would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the participants of the events. As mentioned, over the years, more than 414 children have had a week-long adventure thanks to the dedicated work of the local volunteer group. Pike Falls has raffled

bikes, held Toy Runs and Bike Shows, all to create the Lanark County Camp Fund, which ensures that every child in the Big Brothers Big Sisters agency who wants to go to camp gets to go. While the active fundraising events of Pike Falls have come to an end, the fund in place will ensure children from Lanark County will enjoy the opportunity to attend camp for many years to come. The staff thank Big Brothers Big Sisters for their assistance in the program and although the event is retired, they hope many children will benefit from a camp experience for years to come.

Lanark County Community Justice Program Inc. “A Restorative Justice Initiative” Our program involves the community in repairing the harm resulting from crime. People directly affected by an incident and their supporters come together in a community justice forum (circle process), to discuss what happened and reach a legally binding decision about how to make things right. Our highly trained volunteers guide the forum discussion and ensure that the process is respectful for all. Do you have an interest in the criminal justice system? Do you want to help youth in conflict with the law? Are you interested in a community response to crime where people voluntarily take responsibility for their actions and are held accountable? Are you ready to make a real difference in the lives of people in your community? Do you want to work flexible volunteer hours according to your schedule? How would you like to network with other professionals who are committed to helping make Lanark County a safe place to live and work? It is rare that one of our clients ever returns to the criminal justice system. Our program works and we need your help to run it. You can volunteer as much or as little as you like. Excellent training is provided free of charge.

EMC News – Pike Falls Motorcycle Group came through for the kids again this summer. Thanks to their creation of the Lanark County Camp Fund, they were able to send another 24 children to summer camps. Back in 1994, after four years of motorcycling events in Lanark County, the organizers of Pike Falls chose Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County to be the benefactor of the proceeds of events. This has enabled the agency to send 414 children to a weeklong sleep over camp of their choice. In the mid-2000s Big

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Federal and provincial dollars just not there DEAR EDITOR: Editor’s note: The following letter is in response to ‘Social Housing: The cure for homelessness? by STAY’ which ran in the Aug. 16 issue of the EMC. I am writing in regards to the question posed in the Op Ed piece “Social Housing: The cure for homelessness?” The article addressed the issue of the shortage of social housing and the need for more social housing as evidenced by the long wait lists in Ontario but I wanted to provide a more comprehensive story on why there is a lack of social housing, the benefits of social housing and the importance of it as a mainstay of our social infrastructure. Due to chronic underfunding at the provincial and federal levels and the lack of a National Housing Strategy, service providers and municipalities have had to spend much of their efforts internally defending the worth of their work and ensuring their own organizations maintain viability rather than being able to ensure that their sector is stable, coordinating efforts to achieve community wide

outcomes and meeting all of the housing needs of their community. Social housing was downloaded to the municipalities without the necessary financial support from the provincial and federal levels of government to maintain or increase the housing stock. Lanark County has made significant investment in the housing stock it currently has but cannot afford, without significant investment of other levels of government, to increase the current housing stock. As the writer in the article mentioned “Without a consistent, warm, safe place to sleep, people get sick more often, and die younger.” Although there may not be enough adequate, stable, and appropriate housing in Lanark County to meet the needs of all residents, that doesn’t mean that the housing stock that we do have isn’t working for those who have it. The real gap in health outcomes doesn’t lie between people who are homeless and people who aren’t homeless. It’s between those See LETTER page 10

EMC Editorial - It’s back to school again for youngsters and teens in the area as Sept. 4 approaches quickly. While the summer always seems to go by in the blink of an eye, it’s time once again to think about just what back to school means. Earlier mornings, packing the children up hopefully after having a nutritious breakfast, and heading out for the morning commute. Or getting your little ones to the bus stop to await their ride. There are many messages for parents and for drivers as the school season ramps up again, from how important breakfast is to ensuring safety around school buses. According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation, those who do not stop for a school bus will pay between $400 and $2,000 and will be impacted by six demerit points. This is just for a first-time offence. For any subsequent offence, fines of between $1,000 and $4,000, six demerit points and possible jail time of up to six months will be doled out as punishment. It is important for those in vehicles to know that regardless of where they are - a busy street, highway, county road, they must stop when a school bus is stopped with its upper red lights flashing. A flashing stop arm will also swing out while youth are either boarding or exiting the bus. Do not continue to drive until the stop arm folds back and the lights have stopped flashing. Students are also asked to be careful when crossing the roadway to get on or off the bus. They should first look both ways and then walk, not run, to their parent or caregiver who is picking them up at the side of the road. Before the bus even arrives students are reminded to stay safe while waiting. The ministry notes children should not play in ditches or snowbanks. And once the bus arrives, they should enter in single file, find a seat and face forward during the entire ride. With the doors opening wide to welcome students back in less than a week, we ask parents, drivers and children to play it safe before and after they get off the bus.

Mary’s bird certainly had fashion sense EMC Lifestyle - Learning at a young age, that it was not wise to have a farm animal as a pet was a hard lesson for me. Sooner or later, it would be hauled off in the back of the wagon, or peddled door to door in Renfrew. And many would end up in our smoke house. But that didn’t stop me from favouring a baby lamb, or a newly born calf, and at one time I was especially fond of a chicken that I had named Squeaky. It had come into the world late Spring, bursting out of a shell right before my very eyes one rainy day. All the other baby chicks were bright yellow, but this little one was almost white and its feathers were few and far between. Father said it was a weakling and he doubted it would survive. But survive it did. And it was soon obvious that it was not going to be at all like the other chickens. I could see that as it grew it was not going to have much in the way of feathers. Father said that happened sometimes. A cull, he called it. I took to that little chicken, and

it to me, and we were soon inseparable. It didn’t look like a chicken and it certainly didn’t sound like one. While the others chirped, this one squawked and that’s why I decided to call it Squeaky. My brothers made fun of the little bare chicken with nothing more than a bit of fuzz around its tail end and a few scraggly hairs at its neck. The rest of its body was completely bare and pink. It had lost its colour as it grew. As the summer wore on and the warm days got chilly, I grew increasingly concerned about Squeaky. It was often pushed aside by the other chickens, and I would find it huddled by itself in a corner of the chicken coop trying to keep warm. I begged Mother to let me

bring it in the house at night. I told her I would look after it and I would keep it in a cardboard box, so that it wouldn’t dirty the kitchen floor. Mother said farm animals belonged in the barn, chickens in the chicken coop. After many tears and promises to scrub the floor on my hands and knees of there was a reason to, Mother finally agreed that I could bring Squeaky into the house to sleep. I emptied a box I found in the drive shed and put one of my dolls’ blankets in it and situated Squeaky and the box behind the Findlay Oval. When I went to bed that first night, the last thing I did before climbing the stairs was check on Squeaky. She was asleep with that bare head tucked under an equally bare wing, the picture of perfect chicken contentment. For the first time in many nights I would go to sleep assured that my pet chicken was warm and safe. As soon as Mother blew out the coal oil lamp, and the

kitchen was turned to black, loud squawks could be heard right through the house. I could hear Father jumping out of bed and Audrey and I sat bolt upright. I flew downstairs in the dark just as Father was lighting the lamp and peering into the box behind the stove. There was Squeaky with her head in the air, and her mouth wide open letting out the most outrageous roars I ever heard come out of a chicken. Mother said she was to be taken right out to the chicken coop. I started to wail that it was the middle of the night, and that Squeaky would be frightened to death. “Best thing that could happen to her,” I heard Emerson say from the top of the stairs. I learned early in life that if I cried as if my heart was broken I could usually move Father. Mother was another matter. But that night it was Father’s decision that the chicken could stay in the house upstairs beside my bed, but that it would be the last night it would be sleeping anyplace but in the henhouse.

THE EMC - 8 - Thursday, August 30, 2012

I was sure if it had to spend one more night out in that drafty place it would surely freeze to death. It was my very clever sister Audrey who had the perfect solution the next day. She said not to worry, she would take care of the situation. The morning broke cold and windy for a late summer day. When I leaned out of the bed Squeaky was still fast asleep, just as I had left her with my sweater over her naked body. Audrey got out of bed and headed right for the box I kept my doll clothes in. She took out a tiny sweater with buttons I used on my China doll Aunt Lizzie had sent me from Regina. She forced Squeaky’s legs into the arm holes and buttoned the sweater across its bare breast. It fit her like a glove and once she had shaken her legs a couple of times, resigned herself to her new clothes. We walked right out the kitchen door with the chicken in my doll’s sweater and over to the chicken coop. When Audrey put her down she

went scurrying into the crowd demanding her share of the feed. Just before it got dark that night, Audrey and I went out to take one last look. There was Squeaky apart from the rest of the chickens, fast asleep in her bright red and yellow hand knit sweater. A clever girl was my sister Audrey. Emerson said the coloured sweater would put off the other hens from laying eggs. Audrey said to pay him no attention. My featherless chicken kept growing into larger sweaters. I dreaded the day when she would join the others in the back of the old Model T Ford to be taken into Renfrew and traded for sugar and flour. But Father and Mother decided, because she was such an odd looking bird, she would likely be as tough as blazes. Squeaky was allowed to live out her life naturally to my great relief. She was featherless and stayed bared in the warm weather, and when the weather was cold, she was cozily wrapped in a doll’s sweater.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Group urges preservation of Rideau Canal services DEAR EDITOR: I would like to share the attached letter from the Rideau Roundtable to Minister Kent regarding the recent budgetary cuts to Parks Canada and the Rideau Canal in particular. August 17, 2012 The Honourable Peter Kent, Minister of Environment, Dear Sir, Re: Rideau Canal I am writing this letter on behalf of the Rideau Roundtable in response to budget reductions affecting Parks Canada and the Rideau Canal in particular. The Rideau Roundtable is an association of individuals, community organizations and government agencies working together to keep the Rideau and Cataraqui Watersheds from Ottawa to Kingston healthy – socially, economically and environmentally. Recent announcements of budget cuts to Parks

Canada’s Rideau Canal organization pose real threats to the integrity of the natural and cultural resources, and values of the Rideau Canal and its setting, as well as its contribution to the local economy. Among their many responsibilities, governments are elected to be stewards of our national heritage for the Canadian people. Your government must provide the organizational capacity to ensure the mandate of Parks Canada can be met. This mandate includes the protection of natural and cultural heritage, and ensuring that opportunities for public use and enjoyment are sustained. In addition, specifically for the Rideau Canal, the Government of Canada has an obligation to the world and to Canadians to conserve this UNESCO world heritage treasure. Despite budgetary reductions by Parks Canada in response to government direction, the nationally and internationally signifi-

cant heritage values of the Rideau Canal and its corridor must still be conserved. These cultural, ecological, recreational and economic values must be preserved to sustain our communities, and to ensure a legacy for future generations. Decisions made today can have lasting negative implications for the health of the Rideau system and its stakeholders, underscoring the importance of informed and prioritized choices. The conservation of the cultural heritage, natural and scenic values of the canal and its setting; water management; and the retention of quality navigational and visitor services at least from early June to late September, should be the highest priorities for Parks Canada. The health of the Canal’s wetlands is vital to the maintenance of water quality and fisheries habitat. The Rideau’s natural systems have adapted over almost 200 years, since the

construction of the canal, to a consistent water management regime. Maintenance of the Canal’s stable ecology relies on knowledgeable and reliable water management operations to maintain water levels throughout the year in order to minimize the potential for flooding. Simply put, without the assurance of the availability of year-round skills, there will be unacceptable risks and potential harm to natural habitats, cultural resources, public safety and property values. The recent changes to the Fisheries Act and the federal government’s environmental assessment process could leave important natural resources more vulnerable. Coupled with changes within the provincial jurisdiction related to stewardship councils, conservation authorities and the Ministry of Natural Resources, it appears that the future security of the Rideau’s natural system and its values will be at risk.

come) and supportive. Social housing organizations have the ability to coordinate with other service agencies to provide necessary supports within housing; to work with vulnerable tenants to maintain their housing and prevent eviction and to advocate for necessary funds to ensure that the housing stock is maintained. By recognizing that there

will always be a need for safe, affordable, stable housing rather than defending the need for social housing, we will be better able to coordinate our efforts as a sector. As a sector we need to ensure that the broader community is aware and considerate of the need for a continuum of housing resources whether they are social, supportive, affordable, accessible, emer-

gency or transitional housing to meet the needs of our diverse community. As a community we will have to work together to ensure that everyone has access to adequate, stable, and appropriate housing in Lanark County. Christine Culham Director, Lanark County Housing Corporation

Minister, there are many organizations and individuals along the Rideau who are looking for your leadership in ensuring that Parks Canada’s future management of the Rideau Canal National Historic Site and World Heritage Site is successful in ensuring that the values, resources and services of the canal system are protected and sustained for future generations. As has been the case over many years, these organizations and individuals are more than willing to

work collaboratively with a properly resourced Parks Canada organization to assist in the conservation and promotion of this national and world treasure. The Rideau Roundtable urges you and your government to take action to ensure that the healthy future of the Rideau system is assured. Sincerely, Peter Au President, Rideau Roundtable www.rideauroundtable.ca

Book signing in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County The author will be at Jewel’s Perth at 37 B Foster Street from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. and at Jewel’s Smiths Falls at 18 William St., E. from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. to greet guests, sign books and chat with visitors. More information can be found at the author’s website at: www. articulateyoursuccess.com/ book.htm. Book overview The story of the province of Ontario would be incomplete if the ‘Lost Villages’ of the St. Lawrence River were not among the topics of discussion. These ‘Lost Villages,’ the price of ‘progress’ - the Seaway and Hydro Electric project - were places of our earliest provincial history. In the early years of Upper Canada, the United Empire Loyalists made their exodus from conflict during the American Revolution to lands along the river to forge a new home for their descendants. Pre-dating this, the land had been the traditional lands of the Mohawk people for centuries. Despite their significance to our collective history, these places now lie under dark waters and can only be remembered and honoured through the memories of the one-time residents. A Walk with Mary, inspired by one such resident of the idyllic village of Moulinette, revisits life in these special places, and the history experienced - and often endured - by our most stoic generation

including: the advent of the automobile, the tuberculosis pandemic, war, the Great Depression, and the St. Lawrence Seaway. The book explores the raw emotions that linger beneath the surface in having loved and lost cherished people and places. “…just as the waters washed away Mary’s beloved village, so now Alzheimer’s is washing away her memories.” In a time and in places that no longer exist, we are once again able to go back and experience a significant part of our own history as Ontarians as we take A Walk with Mary. The book, published by General Store Publishing House is considered historical fiction. Submitted by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County.

EMC Events - Local author, Jennifer DeBruin will be signing her newly published novel, A Walk with Mary, on Sept. 18, at Jewel’s Gently Used Clothing at both the Perth and Smiths Falls locations. From the sale of each book sold at the store locations, $10 from every copy, will remain with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBS) to support programming for youth throughout the county. Having been well-received since its June 27 launch, A Walk with Mary, has certainly struck a chord with readers with one emailing, “You write beautifully...wonderful descriptive and powerful emotive passages. Thanks for a very good read,” K. Grant. “This new venture has been much more rewarding than I could have imagined. As a Board member at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County, I’m very excited to be able to share the success with such a wonderful organization,” says DeBruin. Robin Heald, Resource Development Manager at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County states, “I feel honoured that Jennifer has allowed us a glimpse inspired by her family’s experience and the love they enjoyed during the era of the lost villages of the St. Lawrence. Reading A Walk with Mary has been an enjoyable and enlightening experience.”

With so many styles, finding my perfect sofa was no work at all.

Proposed riding changes to affect Lanark, West Carleton John.carter@metroland.com

EMC news – Proposed changes to Canada’s federal ridings mean a switch for Mississippi Mills residents if approved. The Ontario Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission, one of 10 set up across the country, has proposed 15 more electoral districts for Ontario, including one new one in the Ottawa area. The changes will be the subject of public hearings this fall, including a two-day session in Ottawa’s Hampton Inn and Conference Centre Nov. 5-6, both starting at 10 a.m. The proposed changes would see West Carleton split from Mississippi Mills with a Carleton-Kanata riding replacing the current Carleton-Mississippi Mills. The Pakenham and Almonte area would move back into a Lanark-based riding. The far-flung Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington riding would become Lanark-Hastings-Frontenac, gaining a large rural area stretching from Bancroft to Stirling (Hastings), but losing its southern extension into Napanee and Odessa (Lennox and Addington). There has been a move in Lanark to make the riding more manageable size-wise and bring Mississippi Mills back into the fold. The increase in Ontario ridings is based on a rise in the province’s population from 11.4 million in 2001 to almost 12.9 million in the 2011 census. The proposed new electoral districts would be located most-

New website and bussing Hotline Help answer questions about student transportation EMC News – Starting this month, information on bussing for the upcoming school year will be just a click or a phone call away, for parents and students in Eastern Ontario. Student Transportation of Eastern Ontario (STEO) is the newly created transportation consortium for the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), and the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). General Manager and Chief Administrative Officer, Ron Cotnam, stated, “STEO has developed a new web site where parents and students can access important information including pickup locations and the name of the contractor serving their area.� Parents and students can visit the STEO web site at www. steo.ca. Parents can then click on the “Find My Bus Stop� button and fill in the required fields to access individual bussing information. This information can be used to contact the bus contractor to confirm pickup and drop-off times. The site also offers information on school locations, guidelines for parents, bus cancellations, contractor information, bell times, and frequently asked questions. In addition, a school bus safety section has been developed which provides valuable and informative resources. STEO will also make it easier for parents and students to check on transportation information by maintaining a special bussing hotline. The number 1-866-286-7521 will be active until Sept. 30.

ly in the Greater Toronto area with additions in Brampton (2), Durham (2), Markham (2), Mississauga, Oakville, Toronto (2) and York. The other four would be in Ottawa, Simcoe, Hamilton and Cambridge. As well, despite a slight population decline, the commission has maintained 10 electoral districts in Northern Ontario as a minimum for its effective representation. “Population shifts and increases, efforts to honour existing municipal boundaries whenever possible, and the establishment of 15 new electoral districts have required substantial adjustment to Ontario’s electoral map,� said Mr. Justice George Valin, chair of the three-member commission. Douglas Colbourne and Leslie Pal are the other members of the commission responsible for readjusting the province’s federal electoral boundaries. Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the commission’s main aim in redrawing boundaries is to divide the province into electoral districts as close to the average population as reasonably possible. The population of a district should

remain within 25 per cent of the average once consideration is given to communities of interest or identity, and historical and geographic factors. A commission can depart from the 25 per cent guideline to deal with extraordinary circumstances. The commission makes final decisions about where the electoral boundaries will be located after consultation, giving the public and MPs an opportunity to express their views and participate in the process. To consult the proposal online, visit www.federal-redistribution.ca; to obtain a copy, call the commission at 1-855-7477224 (toll-free). Everyone is invited to share their opinions on the proposed federal electoral map at any of the public hearings taking place in October and November. To make a presentation at a hearing, apply by Oct. 1 call the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario or e-mail the commission’s secretary at ontario@rfed-rcf.ca.

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

Fast-paced film offers up a fun romp through New York City MOVIE: Premium Rush STARRING: Joseph Gordon Levit, Dania Ramirez, Jamie Chun, Wole Parks and Michael Shannon DIRECTOR: David Koepp RATING: 14A EMC Entertainment - I know absolutely nothing about being a bike messenger or what it takes to be one in New York City. But apparently if you’re going to be a bike messenger you need a bike with a steal frame, a fixed gear and no brakes; brakes means death. Wilee (Joseph Gordon Levit) is the best bike messenger in New York. He weaves through traffic with an almost supernatural ability. Some think he has a death wish, but Wilee isn’t looking to die, he’s looking to ride as fast as he can. Being the best is why Nima (Jamie Chun) asks for Wilsee specifically to make a delivery. Wilee picks it up and Nima stresses how im-

portant it is that the envelope be delivered by 7 p.m. Wilee just smiles, but as he leaves he gets accosted by Bobby Monday (Michael Shannon) trying to take the envelope. Once a package is in a courier’s bag it doesn’t come out until it’s delivered. Wilee leaves Bobby in the dust, but it sparks a mad chase across the city. Bobby isn’t just some jerk, he’s a dirty cop, and he really needs that envelope. Wilee has no idea what’s going on, but once he learns what’s really at stake he’s willing to risk his life to make sure that envelope gets delivered. Premium Rush doesn’t have any huge special effects, there’s no explosions or guys in capes. What it does have is a straightforward story, and some truly intense chase scenes. There’s something very compelling about a simple story of right versus wrong. You’re easily drawn in, and

Tay Valley Choir looking for folks to sing By MARILY SEITZ

EMC Lifestyle - The Tay Valley Community Choir is looking for folks who love to sing. If this describes you, then why not join the choir? Practice is on Monday nights from 6 to 7:30 p.m. alternating between the Glen Tay School and the Maberly Hall. No audition is required, just a love of music and fun. Warm four part harmonies, an eclectic repertoire and cozy country concerts are the hallmarks of the Tay Valley Community Choir. Lead by Ann McMahon

and Grace Armstrong, the choir works hard, laughs a lot and creates lovely music together. To join the Tay Valley Community Choir, register at the Tay Valley Township office or at www.tayvalleytwp.ca. Early bird registration (by Sept. 7) is $35 or $65 for the fall and spring terms. After Sept. 7, registration is $45 per term or $75 for the year. The choir’s ninth season begins on Sept. 10 at the Maberly Hall. For further information contact Ann McMahon at 613-267-4048.

My Take MARK HASKINS

then the film holds you by flashing back to different parts of the story to see it through a different character’s eyes. As well as telling a good story David Koepp brilliantly captures the speed, the intensity, and the dan-

ger of the bike chases. It all works to make a highly entertaining film. I’ve been a fan of Joseph Gordon Levit for a long time now, but this is the first time I’ve seen him as the lead in a film. I have to say he is impressive on

all fronts. He manages the bike stunts like a pro, he nails his character, and he pulls off being the hero like he is wearing a cape. Michael Shannon is outstanding as a slightly off balance and desperate dirty cop. Bobby Monday is a first class creep, and Shannon is so good in the role he may have to apologize to any real police officers he knows. The rest of the cast is just as good. Dania Ramirez is dazzling as Wilee’s on

again off again girlfriend and fellow bike messenger Vanessa. Woile Parks plays a great jerk as Wilee’s rival bike messenger Manny. Jamie Chun gives an emotionally charged performance, and Aasif Mandvi manages some great comic relief. I really enjoyed Premium Rush. It’s a good film executed extremely well. Mark Haskins’ column is a regular feature of the EMC.

EMC Business - All businesses can be successful. It’s about the right time, right marketing and the right product. This is what Susan Fournier, executive director for Valley Heartland Community Futures Development Corporation, believes. The local CFDC has recently signed an agreement with the Canadian Youth Business Foundation for its Newcomer Entrepreneur Program. It supports young entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 34 who need start-up financing to launch their business. “This is a strong system that gives a lot of tools in developing a business plan, mentoring and support,” she explained. Those in this age bracket often don’t have equity or credit history to receive any kind of a loan to start a new business. This program provides start-up financing up to $15,000, as a loan. A program such as this makes the idea of being one’s own boss much more attractive. Those who are successful as a result of this initiative have control of their financial freedom, and can reap the ben-

The business must be new, a start-up, or the applicant must have been trying to get it going for less than 12 months. “This is a wonderful opportunity for repatriation – bringing youth home,” she commented. “It is an opportunity for young people who have graduated and can’t get something in their field. They might

With assistance from an investment of $10,000 by Valley Heartland CFDC through the Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP), this young, knowledge-based company, comprised of three former Nortel Network employees, will complete the development work on the application with a product launch planned in just a few months. Matthew Ferguson of Text2 Systems remarked

Drought conditions cause cancellation of meeting EMC Lifestyle - The recent drought conditions in July and part of August unfortunately resulted in the cancellation of the Rideau Lakes Horticultural Society’s Garden Show, which had been planned for Aug. 25. However, the monthly meetings featuring guest speakers continue to be a significant activity of the RLHS. Following a recent speaker cancellation, the Society has been fortunate in arranging for David Aguire to be the speaker at the September meeting. David makes his home in Soperton, near Delta, where he grows and sells a wide variety of organic vegetables - 45 different varieties at last count! The harvests start as early as May with

asparagus and snow peas, and continue until Thanksgiving. David has been growing vegetables for some 35 years, and he was also a practicing veterinarian for many years. He has studied plant physiology at Brock University. Today, he is a well-known speaker at various horticultural organizations, and his varied interests include the building of hand-crafted canoes. He will be speaking on Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 7:15 p.m. at the Portland Community Hall. Visitors and guests are welcome: a $5 admission fee will apply to non-members. Submitted by Ross Carruthers, publicity director RLHS.

“our company is very excited with the concept we developed thus far and the tremendous opportunities for this platform to be utilized in various different service arenas. The investment from the EODP Innovation Fund will play a significant role in facilitating near term success with early market entry.” The initial product launch this fall will be in collaboration with the Town of Carleton Place and the Town of Smiths

O

T

Falls, the first participating municipalities to utilize the platform. The potential for economic benefits to the towns and their local business are significant. Busy highway traffic that passes by, or through these towns, will be drawn in to explore various activities and attractions and discover the unique and varied downtown shops. It is expected other local towns will be quick to take advantage of this amazing tool as well. This investment sup-

ports the Government of Canada efforts to encourage business to undertake projects that will result in a more productive, diversified, and competitive economy in this region.

Studies show that more than half of high blood pressure patients give up their medication within one year and fail to make recommended lifestyle changes. What these people may not know is that, if left untreated, high blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and even death. So, help defuse the situation and develop your treatment program with your doctor or health care professional.

Clarification EMC Editorial – In a recent article with regards to the Lanark Animal Welfare Society revenue from the recent Solstice Run for the shelter was

listed incorrectly. Funds raised from the run came in just over $400. The EMC apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Civitan Clubs from Smiths Falls, Perth, Lanark, Almonte, Carleton Place and Pakenham provide three meals and two snacks to the group of hungry campers, as well as crafts and entertainment. Camp Quality Canada is a volunteer charitable organization, which improves the quality of life for children living with cancer, through camps and year-round support programs. Children of any age who can tolerate time away from their family or the hospital are invited to attend the camp, which is held annually each year. Each child is assigned a companion who is the child’s supporter and encourager, during the week. Special friendships are built up between the child and the companion which last long after camp ends.

Galipeau honours Canada’s peacekeeping tradition EMC News - Royal Galipeau, Member of Parliament for Ottawa-Orléans and Gen. Walt Natynczyk, chief of the defence staff, recently joined veterans, members of the Canadian Armed Forces and police officers at the National Peacekeeping Monument to mark National Peacekeepers’ Day. “Canada has a well-earned international reputation for the highest standards in peacekeep-

ing,” Galipeau said in a press release. “For years we have drawn on the experience and commitment of our finest men and women from the Canadian Forces, the RCMP and other police forces: all of them dedicated to building a better, safer world.” Retired RCMP assistant commissioner Graham Muir presided over the ceremony and spoke of his service in peace-

keeping missions overseas, the most recent being in Afghanistan. With music provided by the band of the Ceremonial Guard and a C-17 flypast, the ceremony marked the 20th anniversary of the National Peacekeeping Monument unveiled in October 1992.

ers after they were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1988. The event also highlighted 20 years of Canadian involvement in the Balkan region. The ceremony recognized more than 125,000 Canadians

who have laboured in the service of peace since 1948, and honoured the more than 275 who have given their lives. The Peacekeepers’ Day ceremony is held every year on the Sunday closest to Aug. 9.

On that day in 1974, nine Canadian peacekeepers lost their lives while serving with the UN Emergency Force in Egypt and Israel – the greatest single loss of Canadian lives on any peacekeeping mission.

How’d we ever survive? Without surveys that is EMC Lifestyle - If your email in-box is low and needs filling, or if your mail delivery person seldom visits anymore, or if your phone is eerily quiet during dinner hours, then you might consider buying a new car. With this one transaction you’ll have more communication with more customer survey types than you could ever imagine. A considerable amount of time, energy, and resources are put into collecting and analyzing customer feedback and then developing policies and procedures for dealership staff to follow to improve their bottom line with loyal customers and repeat business. But pity the poor car dealer of yesteryear. How did he or she ever stay in business without automaker focus groups or J.D. Power associates or high-priced consultants micro-managing every aspect of their business to determine if they’re serving the right coffee in the waiting room or if the colour of the tiles in the washrooms is relaxing enough. Customer satisfaction and loyalty tracking is big business today and it’s using every method of reaching out to consumers to find out how they feel about the

product they purchased or the service they received. They use regular and electronic mail, texting, social networking websites, and direct phone contact. Automakers proudly display high customer satisfaction index (CSI) ratings in their advertisements in hope of influencing buyers’ decisions and often times run their retailers ragged with new programs and policies and image improvement plans. But didn’t dealerships survive and even thrive before all this? Hasn’t the auto retail industry been booming since the introduction of massproduced personal vehicles? With the exceptions of a few downturns during the Great Depression and two World Wars, almost every retailer has enjoyed healthy growth and great investment returns. What was their secret? Simply put, if a dealership owner of the past wanted to know if you were happy about your purchase or service, he or she would ask you directly. Wow, what a concept! If a retailer wanted to learn if they could improve, they just had to walk out of their office to the showroom or service waiting area and ask a few simple questions and then shut up and

listen. Fortunately today, there are still dealership owners that aren’t afraid to take the direct approach and feel very comfortable asking questions that may result in some very pointed answers. The reason for this discussion isn’t just to rant, but to provide some points that might help car shoppers who are exploring the myriad of auto offerings available today and need to navigate the multitude of retailers in our area with the hopes of finding a keeper. 1) Ask friends, family, and co-workers if they’ve done business with the dealership you’re considering and what their experience was. Look for direct knowledge, not second or third hand opinions. 2) Call the dealership by phone. If you get a live human being on the first try, this might be a sign that this is place to consider. 3) Drop in during a weekday and ask to speak to the owner or co-owner.

Active kids need active insurance Every kid gets an ‘owie’ once in a while – and usually it’s no big deal, just a normal consequence of being active, curious and involved. But there’s always a chance your child could have a more significant accident during the course of their active lifestyle. Student accident insurance provides 24-hour coverage for medical, dental, disability and accidental dismemberment/ death for students participating in any school activities. Plans can also be expanded to include 24hour coverage wherever your child is – at home, at play, or even on vacation. Coverage for such expenses as private tutoring, eye glasses and much more can also be included. Student accident insurance is usually

Manage Your Money available for any child over six months of age who is enrolled fulltime in kindergarten, elementary or secondary school, college or university or is registered in daycare, playschool or preschool. Children who are home schooled in a provinciallyapproved curriculum are also eligible for this type of insurance. Your school may offer student accident insurance. It is also available from many insurance companies. Student accident insurance is typically inexpensive yet can provide your family with some protection against those always unexpected accidents. In addition, you may want to consider children’s critical

illness insurance for those far more serious concerns. Your professional advisor can help you decide how student accident insurance – and children’s critical illness insurance - fit with your existing insurance coverage and your overall financial plan.

Do a little mystery shopping and call and ask for the next available appointment date.

Brockville Riverfest…the end of an era, or the beginning of a new one? name acts performing on the Riverfest main stage. Chuck Berry, Burton Cummings, Crystal Gayle, Glen Campbell, Paul Brandt, Faber Drive, Hedley, Barenaked Ladies, Tragically Hip, and Blue Rodeo were just some of the popular headliners. Completely organized and operated by numerous groups of volunteers, the ongoing success of Riverfest was dependent upon the volunteers, community support, and local businesses that sponsored and helped finance Riverfest activities. At the recent AGM, Riverfest organizers were able to complete their final order of business that included the donation of three marquis tents to Big Brothers/Big Sisters

of Leeds & Grenville, with a small amount of cash on hand that will be given to the Eastern Ontario Festival and Events Centre. Enter…the Tall Ships Festival scheduled for June 15-16, 2013. Most of the Riverfest organizers will be volunteering their time to help make the 2013 Tall Ships Festival in Brockville one of the most successful upcoming celebra-

tions throughout Ontario. Preliminary plans include numerous ‘unique’ events and attractions throughout the two days including Tall Ships from Europe, the United States and Canada, a classic antique boat showcase, a First Nations Encampment, the waterfront Food and Wine Festival, opening of Aquatarium, the dedication of the Brock Trail and other entertain-

ment activities. Similar to Riverfest, success of the 2013 Tall Ships Festival in Brockville can only be achieved through the hard work of dedicated, talented volunteers; the support of area businesses; and the support of our community as a whole. But just as important, is the potential for this Festival to be another ‘Riverfest’, to once again bring tourism to

an all-time high for Brockville and area. To achieve this potential, sponsors and people who want to make a positive difference in our community…now and in the future are needed. As the planning for the 2013 Tall Ships Festival continues, organizers will be soliciting local businesses for sponsorship and recruiting talented volunteers.

Student success

A home away from home at college campus

EMC News - Personal Service Worker graduate Rachel Goyer describes the student body at Willis College’s Smiths Falls campus as being like “one big family.” And there may be good reason for that. Part of the student body actually was family. Goyer, 23, attended college and then graduated at the same time as her parents Janet Goyer and Joe Dias. Among the June 7, 2012 graduating classes was yet another family. Goyer’s friend Chelsea Laforce-Syme and her mother Julie Drynan also graduated on that same date. Willis College President and CEO Rima Aristocrat said that since she first became a member of the school in 1989, she has witnessed 22 third generation Willis College students, but never an entire family all at once. “I have been present to see grandfather and granddaughter, sisters, brothers, husband and wife, graduating at the same time but I have never

witnessed entire family mother-father-daughter graduate at the same time,” she said. When asked what it is about Willis that attracts families, Aristocrat said she often hears from students and graduates that they decided to attend the college because a family member recommended it. In the case of Rachel Goyer and her family, it all stemmed from a visit to the college. Goyer brought her mother with her, who after looking through the program offerings became interested in the Health Office Administrator program. Goyer said it all snowballed from there. Soon, her father Joe Dias was registered for the Honours Business Administration program. “We pushed each other and we helped each other,” he said. Even when his wife suffered from liver failure and had to be hospitalized, Dias said support from his family and teachers was ever-present.

Rachel agreed that having her family at school was a different experience but definitely provided a boost. “We supported each other, “ she said. “They felt my pain.” Julie Drynan, whose daughter Chelsea was in the PSW program with Rachel, decided to go back to school to prove to herself she could do it. Drynan also highlighted the supportive environment. “On days that I wanted to give up, Chelsea was always there to egg me on – ‘Keep going, keep going, you can do it,’” she said. “Teachers were there to lean on and talk to. They were friends, not just teachers.” Rachel said that when it came to graduation day, they were all very proud of each other. Looking back at the various age groups and supportive settings at Willis College, Rachel said, “It makes you feel at home.” Submitted by Willis College.

Cornmeal muffins always pass the taste test EMC Lifestyle - Whether your taste runs to a bowl of spicy chili or a steaming plate of beef stew, you’ll enjoy the taste of these cornmeal muffins. These are slightly sweet, nice and moist, and simple to make. You can find the cornmeal in the supermarket, usually in the section with the cooked cereals such as oatmeal. If you find the muffins start to get a bit dry after a couple of days (if they last that long), just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds. They’ll taste almost as fresh as if they just came out of the oven. This recipe makes a large batch, 12 to 16 muffins, but they freeze well. I thaw a few then reheat them in the toaster oven. Cornmeal Muffins 1 1/2 cups cornmeal 1 3/4 cups flour

Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW

2 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 1 /2 tsp. baking soda 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 2 eggs 2 cups buttermilk (or 2 Tbsp. vinegar with enough regular milk to make 2 cups) 1/4 cup vegetable oil Generously grease a muffin pan. I use a pastry brush because it’s quick and less messy than other methods. In one bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, baking powder baking soda, salt and sugar. In another bowl, mix the eggs, milk and oil. Pour this

into the dry ingredients, and stir just until combined. Spoon the batter into muffin cups, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake at 400°F for about 15 minutes. If you’re not sure whether they’re done, insert a toothpick in the centre of a muffin near the middle of the pan. If the toothpick comes out clean, they’re done. Let the muffins sit in the pan for five minutes, then you’ll be able to remove them without having them break apart. Serve warm.

Inside Fenik fights for made-in-Perth OPP contract was demonstrated through the Lanark County OPP’s detachment commander, Insp. Gerry Salisbury, who informed the meeting that “we have started to initiate joint patrols,” between the Perth Police Service (PPS) and OPP. Salisbury also revealed that he would like to attend police service board meetings as an observer, and that he would be meeting with his Perth counterpart, Chief Pat Capello, about every two weeks.

EMC News – Perth Mayor John Fenik was at loggerheads with the OPP last week over just how much wiggle room he has to negotiate aspects in the new policing contract for the town. Towards the end of the firstever police transition meeting in the town hall council chambers on Friday, Aug. 24, Fenik casually mentioned to the assembled that the town’s legal counsel would be having a look at the contract, “and we will put forward some suggestions to be put through the contract.” At this, Rod Case, a contract manager with the OPP’s contract policing section, told Fenik that “I’ll be frank with you.” He said that with more than 150 policing contracts across the province “they (the contracts) are all pretty much the same…(and) the ministry is pretty reluctant to make a lot of changes to it (the contract template).” “If it’s not a negotiation process, we had better establish it right now,” replied Fenik. “This will be a made-in-Perth contract. If this is not a madein-Perth, it won’t be signed. If it’s a matter of someone from Toronto (coming) down with a template contract for me to sign, I will not sign it.” “We can provide you with

Perth Police Chief Pat Capello has a word with OPP Sgt. Paul Legeault before the Aug. 24 meeting. a copy of the contract, if you need, right now,” said Case. Fenik reiterated his point that he always likes to make revisions to any legislation or paperwork he has to sign. “Ninety-nine per cent of the time, I’m highlighting something in there (a contract he’s reading) that needs revision,” said Fenik. Coun. Jim Boldt, speaking from the audience, agreed with Fenik that “we will have a collective agreement on what we want to see in that contract.” After the meeting, Fenik and Case adjourned to Fenik’s

office for a private meeting. At the start of the transition meeting, Fenik had set out that he wanted to see monthly police transition meetings, on the fourth Friday of the month at 10 a.m., as “an exploration of what we need to do with this transition.” He alluded to the last two lines from Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening,” (1923) that “we have a long way to go before we sleep…We have to work as a team. We want the transition to be as seamless as possible.” Part of “working as a team,”

Communications plan The meeting also established a communications plan group, so that all information sent out to police officers, civilian staff and other interested parties was consistent. The newly amalgamated police department will continue to operate out of the OPP detachment on Highway 7, though renovations are required to handle the additional staff, like IT infrastructure, gun storage. During the debate over converting to the OPP model, there had been concerns about the future of Perth police communications staff. “We contacted our (OPP) communications centre in Smiths Falls,” said Sgt. Paul Legault. “There would be testing, just for them, for one day,” if they wished to apply for new jobs there. “There will

be testing. If they pass that, they will go on for an interview,” and from what Legault had heard, communications staff tend to do very well on the interview portion. The staffers, if successful, would be hired on for a six-month contract, but that this usually is for a 40-hour-a-week shift, with the possibility of moving up to a full-time position in the future if one becomes available. The OPP was unable to provide a final transition date, “but we are not far away from it,” said Case. Like any big move, there are a lot of details that need to be ironed out with utilities as well. Legault advised that the committee contact Bell Canada so that all 911 calls are sent to the OPP communications centre in Smiths Falls rather than the old PPS headquarters on Rogers Road. “They require a lot of advance notice,” said Legault. The meeting also heard about a physical asset disposal plan, which was necessary because PPS officers use different firearms from their OPP brothers. “They (PPS firearms) can be given or sold to other police agencies,” said Capello. “Otherwise, they are to be destroyed. We cannot sell to the public.”

Creativity project hangs on approval of $49,000 grant By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – The town is hoping that a grant for nearly $50,000 will help it map out an inventory of its cultural gems. The town just made a lastminute deadline for a provincial grant at a special, speedy town council meeting on Friday, Aug. 24 – a meeting called before one of the last summer weekends. “Thanks for clearing the decks,” Mayor John Fenik

THIS SPACE COULD BE YOURS Contact your Sales Representative today at

613-283-3182 or 613-267-1100

told economic development assistant Jeff Keays at the meeting, for handling the file. “It seems that anything to do with grants, you have to drop everything.” The deadline for the fund was at midnight on Aug. 24, and the motion passed unanimously just after 3:30 p.m. that afternoon. Town council authorized staff to submit an application for $49,350 to the Creative Communities Prosperity Fund (CCPF) in the hopes of

launching a “cultural capacity building project to enable the municipality to map its cultural assets and thereby strengthen its community engagement with the cultural sector as outlined in the town’s 10-year strategic plan and tourism strategy,” according to a report by Shellee Evans, director of community services. The “dollar allocation,” would come 80 per cent from the provincial government with the remaining money coming from the Downtown

Heritage Perth Business Improvement Area (BIA). The BIA’s exact portion of funding however is subject to approval of its 2013 budget. “There are tremendous cultural assets in this community and this will be a way of compiling a report on what is here,” said Coun. Judy Brown at the special meeting. It is hoped that the funding will mean that the BIA can hire an extra staffer to, according to Brown, “work as an asset to the various festivals in town.”

“It is an opportunity too good to miss,” said Brown. The new position would also be integral to coordinating things like signage and road closures for festivals. “It (the new position) will be for all events in the area and it will be the one stop municipal shop,” said town staffer Rachel Morgan. “It gives the coordinators more time to focus on other things.” “We just need a certified copy of the bylaw and we’re good to go,” Keays said later.

Local leukemia sufferer asks you to donate blood on Sept. 14 By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – He used to give – now he needs to receive. Tony Hendriks knows all too well that it is better to give than to receive – and he also knows that you have it in you to give. “The importance of blood is something very important. I used to give blood,” said Hendriks, a well-known Perth businessman who has been waging a very public battle with cancer, who has taken up a new battle – getting people to donate blood. “You never realize until you need it,” said Tony, who was recently diagnosed with leukemia. “All of a sudden, you start talking to people, even here in town, (and) you realize how much people need blood.” He is encouraging anyone who can to make it to the Canadian Blood Services blood donor clinic being held at the

Civitan Club, on Highway 43 in Perth, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. and 5 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14. Book your appointment online at blood.ca, or by phoning 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283). He is unambiguous about his goal – “(to) get people out there to give blood.” Any email he now sends out includes an urge to give blood at the bottom of the email. “Several people went to give blood for the first time,” at his urging, he stated proudly. “Hopefully, they’ll be able to keep with it.” Hendriks’ diagnosis and rush to treatment happened in the relative blinking of an eye. On a Wednesday, he had an appointment with his doctor. By Thursday, he had been diagnosed with leukemia, and by Friday, he was getting platelettes. “If you don’t have the blood, you’re done,” said Tony. “My treatments are done. My last treatment was in February.”

“As a sick person, you would much rather be home,” said Tony. “I would have much rather stayed on the couch.” But he acknowledges that without her prodding, his recovery would take a lot longer. “It’s not easy to do because you have this cranky person,” said Lynda. “You don’t want to upset someone you love. (But) he’s come a long way.” Tony isn’t the only one who was impressed with Lynda’s tough love, and the positive results they showed. “He (my doctor) wanted to put me up in front of the residents to show how well it (cancer treatment) can work out,” said Tony. Even though their battles with cancer did not end well, Tony and Lynda did take solace in the brave battles fought by the likes of the late opposition leader Jack Layton and Microsoft founder Steve Jobs. Because of their very pub-

CANADIAN TIRE PERTH ARE NOW CARRYING

lic battles, “I think people are a lot more open,” said Lynda. “Layton and Jobs didn’t hide the fact that they had it.” Terry Fox back in the early ‘80s was a good examples of an athletes in his prime who publicly acknowledged his disease. For all four men, “(they) showed how to live life in a very positive way with cancer. They know, ‘I can survive this. I can get over this,’” said Lynda. “You can come out the other end.” But even with their examples, there were hard days when Tony had to mentally prepare himself that, like Jobs and Layton, things might not work out for the best. “It didn’t take me long to prepare myself for the worst,” said Tony softly. “I didn’t want to be hanging over a toilet seat for the next five years. I wanted to move on and for my family to move on,” if it came to that. R0011577371_0830

Tony Hendriks credits his recovery from leukemia in part to the “tough love,” care he received from his wife Lynda. The couple are encouraging everyone to donate blood on Sept. 14, to help cancer survivors like Tony in their recovery.

During his treatment he received full body radiation two times a day, for three days in a row. “The important thing is to stay healthy,” said Tony. “Receiving treatment is the easy part.” “The idea is to kill every single cell in the body,” said his wife, Lynda Hendriks. “(They cannot) miss one little microscopic cancer cell before the transplant.” Tony’s nails have since grown back after the ravages of the chemotherapy, and “he sheds his skin like a snake,” said Lynda. For as scary as chemo’s toll looks on the outside, Lynda is also concerned that “it’s all happening on the inside too.” He is effusive in his praise for the medical profession for helping pull him through something that, years ago, may well have killed him. “I’m so lucky that they caught it here with my local doctors,” said Tony. “It’s equally important to have someone at home telling us to do things. Not asking, telling.” While dealing with cancer can be scary enough, Tony was surprised to find out just how little doctors really know about some types of cancer. “We don’t understand this disease,” said Tony. “It’s really a child’s disease,” with kids aged five to 15 the usual victims, but for men of his years, there is a bit of a “bump…and they don’t know why.” When he was in hospital, Lynda made sure that Tony would walk four kilometers a day, which measured out to “four circuits around the nurses station,” which equaled a kilometer. “I am a tough-love believer,” said Lynda. “It’s not easy being that person.”

But now that his prognosis is sunnier than it had been, “I’m prioritizing a few more things that I had wanted to do,” like getting out and horse-riding more often. “It’s something that I really love to do,” said Tony. “I used to do it as a kid and now I am learning how to do it properly.” Lynda agrees that the horse riding has proven to be therapeutic for Tony. “When you saw him with the horses, you could see the peace settle over him,” said Lynda. “They are a calming influence,” added Tony. “They are gentle beasts.” He noticed that his energy had started to return at the beginning of June, but Lynda added that it can take up to a year to have a full recovery. “You can’t forget the support you get from the community,” said Tony gratefully.

Rideau Canal could lose UNESCO designation without funding By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – The Rideau Canal could lose its UNESCO World Heritage site designation if its infrastructure is allowed to continue to crumble, said interim federal Liberal Party leader Bob Rae, during a speech in Portland. “I’m a glass-half-full sort of person,â€? said the former Ontario premier of the future of the canal, before adding that getting the UNESCO designation in 2007 “was a great achievement‌but it requires investment. (And) there are a lot of upgrades that are needed.â€? For many years, investment on the canal by the federal government has not been keeping up with its infrastructure needs and without proper maintenance, “the designation could be lost. There is always that potential,â€? Rae said at the Portland Community Hall Aug. 22. He also noted that some towns along the canal are already hurting, and cuts to the canal system would make a bad situation worse. “In Smiths Falls, you not only have the Hershey situation, but also the closing of the Rideau Regional Centre,â€? said Rae. Rae, who has vacationed on the shores of Big Rideau Lake since 1955, was speaking after a roundtable discussion on

Interim federal Liberal party leader Bob Rae, left, chats with Merrickville-Wolford Mayor Doug Struthers and Bob Eaton before the start of the roundtable discussion in Portland on Aug. 22. the future of the Rideau Canal at the community hall, sponsored by the Leeds-Grenville federal Liberal riding association. Despite five-and-a-half decades spent in the area as a part-time resident, Rae has never held a political event in Portland, since “I don’t like to mix business with pleasure,� he said during the roundtable discussion with municipal and

business leaders. “This is not a partisan political rally,� Rae stressed at the start of the meeting, adding that “no cuts have been confirmed,� though there are “rumours,� of cuts up to 25 per cent, which is “a cause of deep concern.� If there are cuts, Rae added, “it is hard to determine how it (the canal) can continue at the same level of service.�

game are for next year, not only for businesses, but for people figuring out where to go on vacation.â€? Al Donaldson, executive director of Boating Ontario, has been hearing an earful from marina owners the length and breadth of the canal, and he disagreed with Struthers’ idea of reducing the canal’s hours of operation. “Reducing the hours along the Rideau‌would be a selffulfilling prophecy,â€? Donaldson said. Less boats would equal less tourists and “many businesses will be closed,â€? said Donaldson. “Less boats on the system means less business. It will be a devastating effect,â€? he added. He did agree with Rae and Struthers however about the problem’s facing the canal’s infrastructure. “(The) maintenance of the system has been cut back,â€? said Donaldson. He dismissed ideas of closing the canal “nonsense,â€? because the canal was crucial to controlling water levels along lakes and tributaries. “People don’t like it when their house is under water,â€? Donaldson said. “We understand the need for deficit reduction‌You have to balance the books. (But) the loss of revenue will be significantly See RAE page P5

Rae also encouraged residents who were fighting to save the canal to team up with residents who want to see the Trent-Severn waterway preserved, to have a louder voice on Parliament Hill. Doug Struthers, mayor of Merrickville-Wolford, wasted no time in letting Rae know the fears of Rideau-dependent municipalities during the round-table.

Back in the springtime, “the message (we got) from Parks Canada and the minister was ‘We are going to do an assessment and we don’t need to hear from you,’� mayor Struthers said. Struthers commended Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown for holding a consultation with area politicians about the future of the canal, and their “grave concerns,� and he and other mayors have met with federal Environment Minister Peter Kent. While Brown and Kent appeared alive to their concerns, the Harper government’s position remains that $29.5 million in savings is required from the Parks Canada budget. “A 25 per cent reduction for the Rideau Canal (would be) more than a little disproportionate,� said Struthers, though he added that there was room for compromise. “They (businesses) don’t need it open 11 hours a day,� said Struthers, as well as a reassessment of boater fees, to bring them more in line with the private sector and to raise more revenue, with increased revenues being something Kent will need to show Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, said Struthers. “(The) Rideau Canal economy contributes significantly to the national economy,� said Struthers. “The sooner we know what the rules of the

Cuts to Rideau Canal season hours not inevitable: Rae and Addington and LeedsGrenville, are held by the federal Conservatives. Cuts along the canal would likely alienate traditional Conservative voters like small businesses, which could make Brown and MP Scott Reid’s re-elections somewhat more difficult come 2015. “These are major issues for those MPs,” he said. “They (cuts) are not inevitable… (and) the anger and frustration needs to be heard.” He singled out comments from Kent as being somewhat unhelpful. “They don’t give me a lot of confidence that our message is getting through,” Rae said. He noted that it was ironic that it was a Conservative government, which normally

provincial Liberal candidate Ray Heffernan had spent about 20 minutes before the start of the meeting talking to Watt and wondered aloud why Parks Canada was not talking to its own employees, since “they know where the savings are,” and were revenue could be generated by. “We need these people as part of the conversation,” said Heffernan. There was also dissension at the meeting about tourists using the canal being portrayed as “rich boaters,” something Peter Hurst of Hurst marina in Manotick took particular exception to. “No, my boaters are not rich,” Hurst said. “It may be the one toy they have. Some of them are rich…and the money they contribute to the economy is not unsubstantial.” Hurst spoke for many marina owners and business people in industries connected to the canal when he said that he had invested a lot of time and money into his business. “In my naiveté, it never occurred to me that the canal would go away,” he said. “I’m sure we’re all preaching to the converted (here). I am not sure what will come of this (meeting). Let’s all hope for the best.” Elgin resident John Carr, chair of Citizens Forum for

more,” than any savings, because of declining traffic. Donaldson added that his members are already seeing a chill along the canal. When the reassessment of hours and service, and pink slips, were announced earlier this year, “people started cancelling trips,” for the 2012 season, and many are choosing to sail the St. Lawrence River or Georgian Bay instead. Many speakers at the roundtable made sure to note that they understand the need for the federal government to reduce its deficit, but that it must do so wisely, and not throw the baby out with the bath water. “We must differentiate between accountants and poor accountants,” said Ed Bebee, with Friends of the Rideau. “The poor accountants know the price of everything, and the value of nothing,” he said, drawing a laugh through a famous re-appropriated line from Oscar Wilde. On the more serious side of things, John Watt, a Parks Canada employee for 41 years, said he did not like what he is seeing at his former place of employment, and that a lot has changed from when he started at Chaffey’s Locks in 1971, and when he retired this past July. “In my career, I’ve never seen emergency stops (along the Rideau),” Watt told the assembled. “Last year, there were five.” He added that he is hearing that the canal could be looking at a 40 per cent cut in operating hours for the 2013 season. “I retired in July from an organization that simply does not care about the canal,” said Watt. He also dismissed the idea of reducing hours along the canal even by a bit. “If people are crowded, they can’t get through, they won’t come,” he said. As a former Parks Canada employee, he pointed to the “band-aid” solutions being used to keep the infrastructure at Jones Falls, Kingston Mills and Upper Brewers lock stations operating. “The place is literally falling apart,” said Watt.

draws its support from the more well-to-do, that they were demonizing “rich boaters,” calling the idea that support for the canal was subsidizing a rich man’s holiday as “preposterous,” since people of more humble means benefit from the canal. “It doesn’t make any sense to attack the backbone of the tourist economy here,” Rae said. As a former Ontario premier who himself faced an unsteady economic situation and a budget deficit in the early 1990s, Rae agreed that there was a need for cost-cutting. “Money is not falling off of trees at the moment,” Rae said. “But that is no excuse for making senseless cuts that are counter-intuitive to the local economy.”

OPINION

Perth Courier - Your Community Newspaper

No defence for “legitimate rape” comments EMC Editorial – No means no. It’s as simple as that. Do we really need to keep repeating it at this stage? After seeing the headlines this week, apparently so, because clearly, some people have not yet gotten the memo or feel that there is room for ambiguity. And yet, no. By now we have all heard what Missouri Representative (Rep.) Todd Akin said that during “legitimate rape,” (as opposed to illegitimate rape), “the female body has ways of shutting (its reproductive organs) down,” in a widely reported quote. This way of thinking is literally medieval and places the misogynistic onus, once more, on the woman. If she gets pregnant, well, she must have wanted it, did not hit the ‘off switch’, and, of course, may have actually liked it, is the implication. This bogus medical and scientific thinking ranks right down there with people who think that vaccinations cause autism or that man walked with dinosaurs. Hadley Freeman, writing in the British newspaper The Guardian, noted that Akin, a father of six and the co-sponsor of the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, was likely referring to “forcible rape,” the terminology used in the bill he helped draft. This refers, one presumes, “to rapes that involve the woman being violently assaulted, as those are the only rapes that count, apparently. So if you’re drugged and don’t put up a fight resulting in you getting a black eye or something similar, good news! Your rape didn’t count,” Freeman wrote. (Allusions to “date rape” drugs there.) Now the terminology “forcible rape,” was later dropped from the bill, which passed, but, get this, the bill’s other co-sponsor? Rep. Paul Ryan – now Governor Mitt Romney’s vice presidential running mate. Awkward. If only these men would stop talking about something they know absolutely nothing about, and which they will likely never have to experience. But, sadly, there must have been something in the air this month, because two more men, who also should have known

better, decided to open their mouths on the issue giving life to the old adage that “tis better to say nothing and be thought a fool, than to open one’s mouth, and remove all doubt.” The first came from British MP George Galloway who in a video blog this month said that all Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was really guilty of was “bad manners,” in regards to the rape allegations he is facing in Sweden. Not only did Galloway lose a lot of respect for his remarks, he also lost a job as a columnist for the Scottish political magazine Holyrood. The publication’s editor, Mandy Rhodes, laid it out simply and unambiguously in a web posting that “there is no excuse, ever, for sex without consent, and regardless of the details of the Assange case, Galloway’s comments and inappropriate language about rape, per se, are alarming.” Oh wait, it gets better. We’ve got another one – unfortunately. The man set to become Northern Ireland’s next Health Minister, Jim Wells, said recently that rape victims should not be allowed to abort an unborn child. In both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, abortion is illegal in most cases (an editorial for another day). Wells, in a radio interview, said he would rather see that the baby be carried to term and sent for adoption. Even Wells’ party, the decidedly pro-life Democratic Unionists, distanced themselves from these comments, recognizing that pregnancy from rape does happen. In fairness to Wells, he did point out one statistic that actually bears up, in that “the statistics are very low for pregnancies which arise as a result of rape.” Low, maybe so, but not unheard of. The Globe and Mail reports that “there is little hard data to show how many rapes result in pregnancy because many attacks are not reported.” A 1996 study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology concluded that five per cent of rape victims become pregnant. But even one is too much. Again, no means no.

What I did on my vacation I am back from two weeks’ holidays. I honestly can’t remember the last time Groom-boy and I had two consecutive weeks off together. I think it was… never? It was almost more time than I knew what to do with. During the first week you may remember we took a road trip to southern Ontario and visited friends in Toronto before moving on to experience the wonders of modern-day Niagara Falls. It was a long drive home. I like to call it the “CrossSouthern Ontario Public Bathroom Tour Summer 2012.” So many bathrooms. Some were nice. Some…not so much. We got home on the Thursday, had a whirlwind visit with a friend near Ottawa on the Friday and then spent Saturday preparing to go to a nearby cottage for a week. The cottage week promised to be more sedate. The plan was that while the kids and I did the swimming, canoeing, fishing thing, Groom-boy would take the opportunity to paint at home. He joined us later each day and we all slept in a fume-free environment. We settled in and I made every overture I could think of to ease my excitable soul. I still felt wound up. I texted a friend. “I am sitting at the cottage with nothing to do but nothing…and I can’t relax. Aaargh.” He reminded me it takes time to relax. Took him three

Past Deadline days when he was on vacation. I picked up my book and started practising. Monday featured an unexpected trip to the orthodontist for Boychild, but we dealt with that lickety split so as to not miss too much lake time. I woke up Tuesday and lay in bed for a bit fretting about the things I was neglecting while on vacation, such as the spring cleaning from 2008. Nevertheless, I gamely gathered my book and my sunscreen and perched on the deck while the kids played. That night I hauled out the laptop (portability!) and spent a couple of hours catching up on some work. That seemed to do the trick because by Wednesday I felt as if a weight had lifted. I was getting the hang of the relaxing thing! Yay! There was no travelling to do, no orthodontists to visit, no public washrooms to explore and the book I was reading was really,

really good. Besides, Boychild had a friend come to play that day and his mom brought donuts and a coffee when she dropped him off. She is awesome. I could feel it. I was relaxing! And getting fatter! Oh, well…. Thursday was equally lovely. Girlchild had her best friend visit, so I helped them do some fishing and we looked for crayfish. You know, girl stuff. We also swam to the nearby raft. Friday was a change of pace. I actually had to work – meetings in town all day. I guess having two consecutive weeks off is still a work in progress. Let’s call it part of transitioning back to work. Groom-boy and the kids spent most of Friday at the cottage, but came into town at the end of the day. Groom-boy got back to painting bedrooms and the kids got a screen fix before we headed back to the lake. More frolicking on Saturday and then all too soon we were starting to pack things up and prepare for the monumental pile of laundry that awaited. If only we could bottle these vacations and carry them around with us for emergency use when the slogging gets tough. The nice thing is I am actually ready to go back to work. It takes some practice, but apparently that’s the gift that two weeks off can bring!

Tough times at LAWS as deficit grows

Cathy

JAMES Private “I� ties have an existing contract with the shelter, and though they are willing to work with LAWS, the shelter has to fulfill its promised duties under the current agreement. If the municipalities don’t re-negotiate the contract and the community doesn’t pull through with astounding fi-

nancial donations, what’s the alternative? Colton spoke about the potential to seek out corporate sponsorship, providing advertising opportunities for private businesses while helping to keep the shelter afloat. It’s sickening to think about what will happen to the dozens of animals currently housed at the shelter and for future strays that will have nowhere to go. Something has to change because, in the end, it’s the animals who will suffer. Special day special friend Eight years ago a good friend, Kyle Paisley, died from Cystic Fibrosis. Though he suffered from CF his entire life, you’d never hear about it from him. Instead, he hit the ice, the court or the links, demonstrating that he could play sports, even with limited lung capacity. After he passed away, his friends decided to do some-

thing in his honour, so they teed off. The ninth annual Kyle Paisley Memorial Tournament will take place this Saturday, Sept. 1 with a noon shotgun start at the Perth Golf Course. If you’re interested in playing, you can contact the course at 613-267-4504 or call Toby at 613-326-0338.

Let children’s laughter ring out at proposed splash pad: reader To the Editor: How could anyone have anything negative to say about a splash pad, really? Well, believe it or not, there it was, front page of The Perth Courier. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. It appears there is a group who feel that the joyful sound

of children laughing and having fun could further impinge on their ability to concentrate on the game. In the real sport world, for gold or big bucks, yes, there is absolute silence. However, I had no idea you were playing for the Canadian finals. I thought you were playing for the joy of the game.

One solution would be for each member to purchase ear plugs, or they could be provided on a yearly basis when you pay your membership fee. My wife and I attended the splash pad in Edmonton with our granddaughter. What an experience. It has three pads and when one is not in use, the

water automatically turns off. We did not find it noisy at all. On the other hand, we love to

garding bear sightings and whether Tux and I should wander down the local trails. My neighbours informed me they once spotted a bear crossing their front lawn, while friends said they have a bear and two

cubs in their neighbhourhood, located just outside town. We may just stick to the sidewalks for now. Have a Private I story idea for me? Send me a note at cathyjames@live.ca R0011581625

EMC News - As the only animal shelter in the area providing services to all eight municipalities across Lanark County, as well as to Merrickville-Wolford, it’s easy to see how the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) shelter would quickly fill up with stray cats and dogs. It’s also paying the price. Last month alone, the shelter hit a near $50,000 deficit, and continues to face monthly financial shortages. The lack of shelter space and financial roadblocks has led the shelter to announce it could close its doors by December if nothing changes. When word came out last week that LAWS could close its doors, the community was buzzing. So, what should LAWS, and the community, do?

Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. Love you Forever, Ken

JOHNSTON, Clarence September 2, 2003. In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle and friend. His memory in our daily lives can never be erased. He was very special and can never be replaced. Time cannot steal the memories we carry in our hearts. Or take away the many years of which he was a part. Always Eileen Johnston and Family

LYNCH,Elsie Martha (Carrigan) - Born January 26, 1934. Died September 4, .2010 God knew that she was suffering, That the hills were hard to climb, So He closed her wearly eyelids And whispered Peace be thine. Away in the beautiful hills of God, By the valley of rest so fair, Some time, some day, we know not when, We will meet our loved one there. Lovingly remembered, Christine, Cyril, Rachael, Tyler, Noel.

FERGUSON – In loving memory of Doris “Dodie”. October 1, 1946 – September 1, 2011 Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, You are always by 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. Loving and missing you every day mom. Sara, Brian & Avery

THE EMC - 44 - Thursday, August 30, 2012

I’m Free Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow: I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full I’ve savored much, Good times, good friends, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, Don’t lenghten it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, he set me free. Author: Unknown

In our family no matter what the occasion we celebrated it together whether near or far apart and this weekend, while we will not all be together in body we will most definitely be sharing in spirit what for me will be the most special day of my life – the day I will celebrate my marriage to Ron, my best friend – the one I laugh with, live for, dream with and love. As always you will remain in that special place in my heart set aside just for you and it is no surprise to me how much happiness this year has brought to each of you – a new grandchild for you my special brother and the first great grandchild for you Mom and Dad – Michael will be the most handsome of all ringbearers on September 1st and will share our special day with Alyssa, Calvin, Tanya, Chris, Karen, Mike, David, Bobbi, Nancy and Brian. As always knowing that each of you are just a breath away gives me just one more reason to celebrate along with Ron the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. Always, Ann.

NEWS

LAWS welcomes new executive EMC Lifestyle – Judy Meyers is stepping down as president of the LAWS’ board of directors. She has been vice president, then president for four-and-a-half years and has become involved in many endeavours in her personal life recently. She feels now is the time to step down so as to concentrate on these things at this point in her life, however she will still be contributing as a member of the board. Melissa Rusk has agreed to be the new president, Ken Palardy is our new vice-president. The rest of the board will remain as is. Meyers asks the community to, “Please welcome our new executive and give them all the support you have given me over the past few years. It has been an amazing privilege to represent LAWS as president.” Rusk completed her Bachelor of Social Sciences in Criminology and Psychology at the University of Ottawa and will have completed her executive MBA through the University of Ottawa’s Telfer School of Management in April 2013. Actively involved in the not-for-profit community, she is currently the Vice President of the Board and Chair of the Rebranding, Marketing and Fundraising Committee for the Caring and Sharing Exchange and will commence a term on Board of Directors as a Community Representative for the Carleton Place District Memorial Hospital at the end of August. As a mother of two young girls, a three year old and a seven month old, she enjoys spending time travelling and enjoying the outdoors with her family.

This Week’s Pets lots of love. Simon is hoping somebody will pick him up soon. He is energetic, playful and goodlooking. Is Simon the boy for your household?

Betty is a two year old Domestic Shorthair black and white, friendly female cat. Initially, Betty did not like to play with other cats but after a long stay at LAWS in a cage she figured out that she had no other options. Betty resides in one of the cat runs where she freely walks around and plays with her buddies. Although she seems to have a good time, she really misses regular cuddles and attention.

Esther is a two year old Domestic Shorthair, brown tabby, full figured lady. Esther has been at LAWS for eight months and has almost given up on being adopted. Esther, and the staff and volunteers at LAWS, can’t understand why she has been overlooked so many times. She’s a joyful, huggable cat, has clean grooming habits and she has a perfect shiny coat. Please consider Esther!

This week’s pets

Fern is a lovely Domestic Short Hair, grey female cat who has recently raised a litter of kittens. Homes have been found for all of her babies but Fern is still waiting to be adopted... She is about two years old, is very good natured and somewhat petite. Fern was recently moved to the cat run with the other free roaming cats and she is having no issues in getting along with the other cats.

Simon is a 12 year old Domestic Shorthair orange tabby boy. Simon was brought to the shelter because his previous owners’ life circumstances changed and they could no longer care for him. He was used to a private home with

Blossom is an eight year old Domestic Shorthair, grey and white tabby lady who keeps her body well groomed and in perfect shape. Blossom is very friendly and does love other cats as playmates, but would be ok as an only cat too. She has beautiful eyes and a great facial expression. Blossom is full of life and like so many other cats, wishes for a forever home where she will be loved and treated like a princess. Good news We have found a foster home for our beautiful, little Hope. Thank you! Teddy is a German Shepherd / Rottweiler X, black and tan, male (neutered) seven years old.

THE EMC - 52 - Thursday, August 30, 2012

Mork is a German Shepherd/ Rottweiler X, black and tan, male (neutered), eight years old. A Little About Us.....We are gentle giants. We are independent and shy at first, but we can warm up to kind people that do not impose themselves on us. We will follow our trusted humans with great curiosity and are kindly referred to as the shelter sheep. We need a secure enclosure if left unsupervised. We can live outside or both indoors and outdoors. We have spent our whole lives together (Mork is Teddy’s father). We are only one year apart in age and find comfort in being together. Dook is a Hound X, tri-colour, male (neutered), seven years old. A Little About Me.....I am a real gentleman. I am very food motivated and can be good on leash for a hound. I am a vocal dog here at the shelter, however I will likely be more of an alarm barker in a new home. I am an affectionate dog with people once trust is established. I get along with some dogs but would prefer a quiet home. Dexter is a Lab/Retriever X, black with white on chest, male (neutered), four years old. A Little About Me.....I am an absolutely stunning specimen. I am described as a “sweetheart” by all the staff at LAWS. I am easily excited and very strong, which makes it imperative that I learn to calm down quickly. I know some basic commands, but could use some fine tuning. I love people and attention. Give a pet a vacation Would you love the company of a four-legged friend but are unable to commit? Fostering a friendly dog or cat could be a wonderful opportunity for you.

Ninth annual golf tournament raises funds for Rett Syndrome research By STAFF

EMC Events – It’s a chance to have some fun on the links while supporting a cause that hits close to home. The ninth annual Jessica Carr Rett Syndrome Golf Tournament returns to the Cedar Valley Golf and Country Club (7041 Hwy. 29 at Forthton) Saturday, Sept. 8. The event is a best ball format with the shotgun start at 11 a.m. for the first

flight and 2:30 p.m. for the second. Cost of nine holes of golf along with steak dinner is $65 per person with $20 from every entry fee going to the tournament charity – The Jessica Carr Rett Syndrome Research Fund at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Hole in one prizes are a split of $25,000 with CHEO compliments of Cedar Valley Golf Club. The event will also feature silent auctions, contests at

different holes as well as lots of prizes. The tournament continues to grow year by year. According to Jessica’s parents, last year’s event raised more than $10,000 for the fund. To date, the event has raised $200,000 in support of key research into the disease. Rett Syndrome is a neurological disorder that impacts one in 10,000 to one in 23,000 females born. The condition is often mis-

diagnosed as autism, cerebral palsy or non-specified developmental delay. The Carrs have seen first-hand the daily impacts of life with Rett Syndrome as their beautiful 10-and-ahalf year-old daughter Jessica lives with it. According to a tournament brochure, symptoms include loss of speech, loss of motor and hand skills and physical disabilities. It is Jessica’s will to fight in life that inspired the

World Vision urges Canadians to match government support for West Africa

EMC News - The federal government has taken an important step towards helping millions of suffering children and their families in West Africa with the announcement of a matching charitable donations plan, says World Vision Canada’s president and CEO Dave Toycen. “These donation programs motivate and encourage Canadians to donate and to make a difference in the lives of millions of affected people,” Toycen says. The federal government has agreed to match charitable donations made by Canadians

to registered charities working to provide humanitarian relief to West Africa on a dollar-fordollar basis. The period for the matching donations will run until Sept. 30. World Vision Canada and other charitable organizations will then be eligible to apply for funding from the government of Canada from the matching donations fund to be used for both immediate relief projects, as well as long-term development programs that will help people in West Africa become better prepared to handle future food emergencies.

She is faced with many medical complications and can’t do many of the things we can do, but the love, patience and happiness that comes from Jessica captures you and your heart swells when you are with her. She is an inspiration to all who know her and is a joy to be around,” the Carrs note in a message to participants.

Sundance artists move to Fall River EMC Events - For five years the Sundance Studio Tour has welcomed thousands of patrons throughout the Labour Day weekend. To facilitate growth, allowing more artists to participate, a move to The Fall River Restaurant’s “river view” location was a natural progression and to reflect the expansion, the name has been changed to the Sundance Artisan Festival. The festival, which takes place from Sept. 1 to 3 this year, is an evolution of creative, innovative and traditional artisans, local farmto-plate cuisine and eclectic toe-tapping music. As always, the theme of Sundance is individual creativity with an element of reclaimed, recycled or natural materials, with impressions in wood, stone, cloth, metal, clay and other

media. The original expressions of the returning artists will be complimented by new artists, 30 in all. Along with visual art, patrons will enjoy the natural flavours of handcrafted food and organic drinks, to suit every taste. Culinary delights include organic salads, fiery pulled pork from Seed to Sausage, Arctic Char sandwiches, organic beer and Ontario wines. Flat bread pizza, served from a wood-fired stone oven, is a mouth-watering addition to the sights, sounds and now tastes of Sundance. For pancake lovers, the Maberly Fire Department will serve up a traditional breakfast, smothered in local maple syrup, on Saturday starting at 9 a.m. The new hosts of Sundance, restaurant owners Paul

and Michele Zammit, recognize the tradition they are carrying forward. They welcome former patrons to return to the peaceful setting they offer in Maberly at the corner of Highway 7 and Country Rd. 36. Listen to the wind, watch the river, enjoy the moments of tranquility in the country. Once you have visited the festival, walk next door and delight your senses yet again with the finest organic lunch or dinner you have ever enjoyed. Recognized by the Ottawa Citizen as “Canada’s Greenest Restaurant,” the Sundance Festival is a natural addition to the Fall River Restaurant mandate – natural, organic, complimentary and memorable.

lessness with personal papers. The Perth Police Service supports this program as it is an excellent way to prevent personal identity theft. Police chief Pat Capello said that “too often, people leave themselves vulnerable to identity theft and fraud when they fail to properly dispose of personal or confidential information. Shredding in this manner makes is possible for would-be thieves to retrieve information. Capello added that it is ex-

tremely important for people to protect themselves, particularly in this day and age when identity theft can do so much damage to an individual’s financial status and credibility. The Rotary Club will use the funds raised to further their literacy programs with local elementary schools and the reading program for children at the Perth and District Union Public Library.

old folks, perhaps with a child curled sleepily in their laps, watched with delight from the sidelines as lads and lasses whirled through the mazes of four and eight-hand reels, leaving the dancers breathless… “Dances became so common that you could go to one almost every night of the week. Near Tatlock long ago, a person used to ride around on horseback to announce at the farms along the way where a party was to be held that night or the next. One man recalls, ‘The dances would go until 4 a.m. Then, after he had had only a few brief winks of sleep, his parents would hand him the plow stilts the next morning.’” Dances were the centerpiece of many social activities

in the early days of settlement: celebrating a wedding, a holiday, the home-coming of local soldiers, a barn-raising, or the successful conclusion of a corn-husking bee. You’ve never tried square dancing? Come anyway! The caller and the more seasoned dancers are sure to guide you along – and all of you will have a few good laughs. There are sure to be waltzes, as well, and one never knows when someone may break out in a spontaneous step dance. Join us at the new addition of the Middleville Museum on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 6 to 10 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door for $10/person or $25/family – and that includes food and dancing.

EMC Events – Personal and confidential papers should never be just thrown into the garbage can, as this could lead to identity theft and serious personal problems. On Saturday, Sept. 22, the Rotary Club of Perth is sponsoring a day whereby personal and confidential papers can be disposed of safely. Area residents and small businesses are encouraged to begin collecting those papers now to be ready for the September date. The event is a co-operative effort between Shred-it, a Securit company with a branch in Ottawa and the Rotary Club of Perth, who will sponsor the event between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Sept. 22. The Shred-it company trucks will be parked in the Herriott Street parking lot, next to the Perth Chamber of Commerce offices. The process is very simple. All anyone has to do is bring their boxes of papers to the site where they will be immediately shredded inside the truck. The material is then taken back to Ottawa for recycling. To make things even simpler, staples and paper clips can remain in the papers. The event will cost $6 per box, up to a maximum of $25 for a total of five boxes per person. A box is considered to be approximately 12” wide by 10” deep by 16” in length. Small businesses will also have an opportunity to participate, as long as they are not presently under contract with Shred-it. Identity theft is a growing concern with police forces and individuals. Seniors should be extra careful as they are prime targets for those who would take advantage of someone’s care-

EMC Events – The new addition to the Middleville Museum is near completion. We want to thank the workers, our volunteers, and all those who have had a part in making our dream a reality. What better way to celebrate their achievements than with a good, old-fashioned dance? So before that lovely big space is filled with artifacts and history, let’s kick up our heels and celebrate with a “barn” dance/hoedown on Saturday, Sept. 8. It’s all part of our heritage. Claudia Smith, author of many books about the history of this region, writes about barn dances and the role they played in the lives of early settlers: “Scottish and Irish settlers brought a long tradition of dancing to Lanark County. Reels, jigs and the famous step dancing and clog solo dances of the men reminded newcomers of home. Other favourites were waltzes, quadrilles, polkas and the schottische, the best-known version of the round dance… “Dancing parties were often held in kitchens, because it usually had the best floor, but whether kitchen or parlour, the room was cleared of furniture and youngsters before the music began.

EMC Sports - It’s a point of pride. That’s how a Sept. 7 win against the Gatineau Olympiques in Smiths Falls was described by Chris Byrne, head coach and general manager of the Ottawa 67s. “It’s always more than an exhibition game when we play Gatineau,” Byrne said during a press conference held last week to promote the Smiths Falls event. Hockey fans can expect a high-paced fight to the final buzzer when both Ontario Hockey League (OHL) teams lace up their skates to play in the Memorial Community Centre next month. Byrne complimented the town on its new arena, saying the exceptional facility is one of the nicest he’s been in, while giving reverence to the former barn that was muchloved by the hockey community. “To blow the doors off and have something like this in your community is unbelievable,” Byrne said. Ottawa 67s left winger and former Smiths Falls Bear, Ryan Vanstralen, attended the Aug. 23 press conference to express his pleasure at returning to the den to kick off his second season of OHL play. “To have the privilege to come out here and play an

and relatives from Prescott in the stands. “It would be nice to see them again.” The Sept. 7 game will be

Vanstralen’s first time back in two years. During his time with the Junior A team he was able to play in both the old barn and the new Memorial Community Centre with fond memories of both. Vanstralen has been spending the summer keeping himself in top physical condition for the coming season. The local exhibition game will be the first time he will experience the rivalry between the Ottawa 67s and the Gatineau Olympiques on ice. Vanstralen is looking forward to adding more to his team this coming season and building on what he achieved during his inaugural OHL season. “I really got a lot of experience and confidence,” Vanstralen said of the 2011-2012 season. Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples expressed his excitement for the coming game and in having Vanstralen back on home ice. “That’s going to add to the importance of that evening,” he said. There could be many notable faces in the crowd Sept. 7. The mayor said he hopes to confirm in the coming days whether Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson will be taking a seat in the stands. Mayor Staples personally extended the invitation during the recent Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference held last week.

He urged everyone interested in tickets to get theirs soon at the Community Centre or by calling the 67’s box office at 613-232-6767, ext. 1 during business hours. Prices are $11.30 for adults, $5.65 for those five to12 years of age and free for four and under. During his opening remarks, Staples thanked the OHL team for including the Community Centre in the list of venues for the year, adding the facility is only a short distance from the team’s temporary home at the Scotiabank Place. “I’m hoping this is the first of many events we’ll see here at this arena,” mayor Staples said. Women’s championships One of those hoped-for events includes the 2013 Women’s World Hockey Championships that will come to the Ottawa area in March and April next year. The Smiths Falls Girls Hockey Association (SFGHA), in partnership with the town, has submitted a proposal to host a pre-championship training camp and exhibition game at the Memorial Centre next spring. “We are going to work hard to make sure that does happen,” the mayor said. A site visit of the arena will take place sometime this September with a final decision on venues anticipated sometime in November.

Steve Doyle, president of the SFGHA, is excited to bring this level of female hockey to Smiths Falls for all current and prospective female players to see first hand. “It gives them something to work towards,” he said. The Sept. 7 exhibition game will be the town’s biggest opportunity to show organizers of the Women’s World Hockey Championships what it can do. A girls Bantam AA hockey game with the Smiths Falls Cubs versus the Ottawa Ladies Senators will warm up the ice before the OHL rivals slap sticks. “It should be a good game,” Doyle said. Girls hockey has had a strong presence in Smiths Falls for more than 25 years thanks to their continued focus of giving each player as much on-ice time as possible. Registration for this season is still open. For more information please go to http://sfgha. goalline.ca/ Twin sisters and second year Novice Smiths Falls Cubs players, Lily and Haley Trudel, posed for a picture with Vanstralen last week in anticipation of the Sept. 7 event. When asked why they liked playing hockey these last two years, the replies varied. “I like meeting different friends,” Lily said. “I like playing against different teams,” Haley added.

EMC Sports - It’s an ancient art that has taught self-discipline and strength for thousands of years, and this year Sensei Dave McNamara of the Smiths Falls Japan Karate Association will use these skills to host the first ever national youth karate tournament. The National Capital Youth Open Karate Championships is open to athletes 17 years old and under and will be held at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute on Saturday, Nov. 17. The tournament is expected to attract the countries best in all karate styles. “We’re anticipating 200-to300 participating,” said Sensei McNamara. The full day of competition will begin with a morning seminar from Master M. Saeki Sensei, a seventh degree black belt and the highest ranking Ja-

pan Karate Association (JKA) instructor in Canada. Master Saeki will be introducing those outside of the Shotokan style to the rules of engagement that will be in play for the rest of the day. Following this, a qualifying tournament will be held where every participant will receive a participation medal for their efforts and the top athletes will go on to the championship round that will take place around 2 p.m.

and feeling exposed in front of their friends – Jones assured them that “even professional actors get a little bit nervous sometimes, but you can use that energy in a positive way that helps your performance.” Jones proceeded to take the youth through a series of exercises designed to hone the abilities that are relied upon by actors to create truthful performances. A game called “Twizzle” allowed them to hone in on their ability to notice small details, while another exercise helped them act out feelings of sadness, fear, and what it must be like to be very young or very old. After designing a number of skits in which everyone took on multiple roles using different character traits, the group then discussed a range of issues from audience decorum to how one can become involved in professional theatre. Jones related humorous stories of how difficult it can be on stage when someone in the audience “narrates” what they are seeing on stage. “Sometimes you can hear someone describing what you

EMC Entertainment – A dozen young people learned about the life of a career performer last week when professional actor Rachel Jones of the Classic Theatre Festival dropped in for an afternoon at the Perth and District Union Library. Jones, who stars as Mary in the comedy hit Mary, Mary, running until Sept. 2, is not only an accomplished actor, but also an experienced theatre teacher who was able to immediately engage the youngsters, aged seven to 12, in a series of exercises that introduced them to some acting fundamentals. The children began the day by discussing plays they had seen, from The Lion King to a commemoration of the War of 1812, and compared them to seeing similar films. “I like the plays better,” said nine-year old Noah. “Because you get closer to the actors, you get to see their costumes, and it looks real.” When some of the children who had already appeared in school plays addressed their feelings about performing and jitters – dealing with shyness

Triathlete conquers fears, beats deadlines at Ironman triathlon Completing Mont Tremblant Ironman Triathlon was “better than Christmas” for Zoe Jervis By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC Sports – For a woman who didn’t seriously start swimming until two years ago, Zoe Jervis’ completion of the Mont Tremblant Ironman Triathlon was just one of several moments of triumph on that day. Not only was it her first ironman competition, she beat her own time deadline by two minutes. The Quebec triathlon involved a 2.4 mile (3.8 km) swim, 112 mile (180 km) cycle, and 26.2 mile (42.16 km) run. “When you say it in kilometers, it seems even longer,” said Jervis. Her completion of the triathlon was made all the more sweet for the 39-year-old because it was the fulfillment of a goal she had set for herself to compete in such a competition before she turned 40. “I loved the running and I bought a bike in 2009,” she said, recalling her early days of training. “I’m not a swimmer. I just never swam.” Even at that, she knew that there was no competing in the triathlon without the swimming portion, so she enrolled in the Perth pool’s masters program two years ago. “When I started swimming in the pool…I used to think there is no way I could possibly swim 1.9 kilometres,” she said. In time, she moved from

beyond the small confines of the pool to more open water like Mississippi Lake and Black Lake. “Not only do I not like swimming, but I don’t like open water (as well),” she admitted. She tried her hand at her first regular triathlon in Brockville, and she was hooked and psyched to take it to the next, ironman level. “I think this is my calling,” she told her husband in Brockville. “This is what I want to do.” Even with moments of triumph, like her eureka moment on the shores of the St. Lawrence River, she had her low moments too, returning home from training runs and having “complete meltdowns,” telling her husband, “I can’t do this.” Setting a goal While there was no particular impetus for her starting out on this journey to make it to this level before she turned 40, it was still something she knew she wanted to do. “I needed to give myself a goal because if I didn’t, I’d keep putting it off,” said Jervis, who was born in Liverpool, England, and emigrated to Canada when she was nine. At the age of 37, “I just picked 40,” as the finish line for her dream. “If I don’t give myself goals, I just chicken out,” the home day-care provider

They all wanted to be around me…They were just glowing. It was emotional. I was just so happy all day. I’m on a complete high (still). It’s better than Christmas.”

Her “crew” was decked out in special t-shirts, calling themselves “Zoe’s 140.6 Support Crew,” and she was grateful to have her “tri-shrink,” sister Maxine Allen, along for support, as well as DJ Trevor, who “got me through the last 7 km of the race,” with his boom box. “He stayed with me for the last 7 km of the race.” While events like the Graham Beasley triathlon in Carleton Place are certainly endurance tests for the athletes

participating, this ironman event was very different in some crucial ways. “They don’t understand how long and hard of a day it is,” she said of people outside of the triathlete world. She was up at 4 a.m., with her races starting at 7 a.m. She completed all of her tasks at 9:58 p.m. that night – beating her self-imposed deadline by two minutes. “My goal was, I wanted to come in under 15 hours,” she said, with her final time clock-

ing in at 14 hours and 58 minutes. She had done well on the cycling and even swimming, but the she had to walk the final seven km of her run as she had hit the proverbial ‘runner’s wall.’ “Your goal is to finish,” she said. “You’re not thinking (of) time.” She will once again be taking up running – after a welldeserved rest – with the Glen Tay Walk on Thursday, Aug. 30, leaving the Perth Museum at 6 p.m.

Five young Perth triathletes go the distance at Dunrobin competition

Friday Mixed Twilight League season comes to an end EMC Sports – The Friday Mixed Twilight League, better known as the ‘I Hate Cooking Friday Night League,’ came to a blazing end this Saturday, Aug. 25. The closing tournament teed off at 12:30 p.m. on a surprisingly hot day. About

24 golfers played a four-person scramble and went out to dinner at Maximillians afterwards. The low score of the day was a 67 by Trish McConnell, Scott Bartlett, Bob and Marilyn Burch. Meanwhile, John

and Randie Fawcett and June and Ed Carnrite were close with a 68. Long drives were by Dorothy Manson, Larry Geroux, Trish McConnell and Ed Carnrite. Closest-to-thePin winners were Anne Neil, Marilyn Burch, Dave Russett

and Scott Bartlett. We have had a great season and we are all sorry to see it end. Ed and June Carnrite have put a lot of time in to the organization of this league and all the players showed their appreciation.
