‘Hola Honduras’ this weekend

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – This weekend, Honduras is either 6,000 plus kilometers southwest of Perth, or right downtown at the Crystal Palace.

Starting at 4:30 p.m., the

emconline.ca

Canada World Youth (CWY) group will be holding a Honduran night featuring a silent auction, music, and traditional dances. The CWY group will also be serving authentic Honduran food.

There is no entrance fee but

there is a base price for the food, though you are welcome to donate more than the suggested amount, since all money goes towards the group’s latrine project, which seeks to provide proper toilet sanitation for a Honduran village.

EMC News - Transition Perth is excited to present its second annual Gift Bazaar, Services Swap and Potluck on Saturday, Sept. 15, at the Perth Farmers’ Market inside the Crystal Palace. Starting at 9 a.m. until noon, the public is invited to come out and share ‘free stuff’, including items such as gently-used toys, books, clothes, kitchen ware, small furniture, equipment, etc., and to exchange “free services” at the Services Swap table intended for bartered skill-sharing within the Perth community.

Organization member Jennifer Martine-Druker says, “The event offers an opportunity to strengthen local resilience, to utilize reused and repurposed materials and to reduce energy consumption through availability at no cost.”

The Gift Bazaar is a social event, welcoming all folks from the Perth community to come out and mingle, share belongings, skills and interesting company. Transition Perth member Bonita Ford shares her enthusiasm around last year’s event. “I really enjoyed the day and the playful atmosphere. There was a lot of curiosity and inspiration at the whole idea, and it brought people of all ages out from different parts of the community.”

Ford also says the “Service Swapping” at last year’s event was very popular, providing an avenue for people to barter gifts such as design services, babysitting, writing and editing, catering/food services, cleaning and more. She would like to see the services swap grow into something that can take place year round, where community members are accessible to each other for skill-swapping, especially during times of economic hardship. A forum on the Transition Perth website will

allow people to post the services they are looking for and what they can offer in return.

During the bazaar, service swaps in the form of minimassages, songs, jokes, facepainting, and hugs are also encouraged, and a Community Potluck Lunch will be held after the event at 12 noon.

People are asked to bring a food dish to share, plus their own plate, cutlery and mug.

The organizers of the Gift Bazaar also ask that participants please take back/pick up all items that do not get taken home from the event. Please return at 12 noon for the pickup, or stay through until the end of the event and join us for the Potluck Lunch.

The organization Transition Perth is a kind-hearted group of volunteers, aimed at creating community resilience amidst the stresses and pressures of economic and environmental change. Martine-Druker explains how the Gift Bazaar builds community strength.

Ford sees gifting and bartering as a potent opportunity for community experiencing economic challenge, explaining, “There are so many people with skills and resources to share in Perth. Money is not such an abundant resource here as it might be in a big city; many people are selfemployed.

The Gift Bazaar and Services Swap will be held on Saturday, September 15th from 9am until 12 noon, followed by a Community Potluck Lunch. The event is free and open to all, although donations to Transition Perth are appreciated and welcome, as the organization is totally volunteer run and has no source of revenue.

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

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

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

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

I will use it every day of my life.�

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Last year the 24/7 crisis

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“It enhanced their writing,” she explained.

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

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

Well, she didn’t have to

He hasn’t jumped on her since. Currently he is three or four years old and with a laugh, Johnson explains, the squirrel population is down now.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6 – 12 years Make saving fun!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

cial relationship.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LeBlanc was accompanied by her husband Frank and

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

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

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

With a small amount of effort, I will bond very quickly with new people. I am slowly becoming more readily able to trust. I am young and very clever. I will require training with a compassionate and dedicated individual.

I do not trust children, but I love other dogs.

Herbie is a Shepherd/Collie mix, black and tan male, two years of age.

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

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

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

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

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

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

by Pat Cooke and directed

by Joan Sonnenburg.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our distribution model is strong and this new venture will provide strong value to the consumers throughout the region,” said James D. Newman, President of NOCO Canada.

COMMENTARY Keeping the virus at bay

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lyle Dillabough

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Without altering the suit, you

could put at least two of Father in it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

30 in Ottawa.

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

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

counts.�

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

that is partly owned by her brother Jamie.

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

Proceeds from both events support the Canadian Breast Cancer Society.

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

One in nine women is ex-

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

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

Walk your PAWS for LAWS in Carleton Place Sept. 23

By MARLA SHOOK mshook@perfprint.ca

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

LAWS is also hoping

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For more information about LAWS, please visit www.lanarkanimals.ca.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The assembly featured an ad-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why did Fortinet partner with Willis College?

R E T T A N W RO F

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

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

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

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

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

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland. com

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

Then there are moments when you do both.

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

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

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

She applauded Food-

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

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

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

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

Smith said that the im-

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

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

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

THE EMC - 30 - Thursday, September 13, 2012

NEWS

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

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

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

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

Refreshments are offered at each lecture.

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

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

What did he learn?

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

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

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

ATTENTION

DEER HUNTERS! Garden Market

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

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

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

For example, they provide

us with food and fibres.

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

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

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

Soil is a natural resource.

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

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Photos submitted by Howard Clifford

CliffLAND is located at 502 Hills of Peace Road.

Registration is at 9:30 a.m.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

able to all ages, he added.

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

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

The land trust conservancy is hosting the Sept.

30 hike starting at 10 a.m.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We congratulate our 2012 bursary winner, Christy Melvin

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

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

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

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

All members are invited.

To start, STAY is offering these workshops for 10 weeks in Perth; a great example of a rural community that has a wealth of community organizations and services available for its residents.

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

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

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

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

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

All food and veterinary expenses are provided.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

NEWS

EMC - Your Community Newspaper

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We will share information about the benefits and

risks of any treatment that is suggested. We will tell you about your rights, and your responsibilities so that you can get the most out of your services.

Your Open Doors worker may ask for permission to see school and medical records. This is an important part of ensuring that the Open Doors counselor understands your child’s behavior in other settings and to ensure that the clinician benefits from any previous help you and your child have received.

NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY!

2012 Model

We believe that most children’s mental health concerns will improve quickly when parents have good information, and a good counselling resource to help get and keep things on course. All you have to do is call!

For more information and to talk to our Quick Response Team, please call 613-257-8260, 613-2641415 or 613-283-8260. We have offices in Carleton Place, Smiths Falls and Perth.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Month in Lanark County

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

community centre

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

We believe in the value of mentoring.

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

literacy

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

Changing young lives can change life in our communities too.

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

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

Big Brothers Big Sisters.ca

We know from experience.

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

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

“I am very excited about

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To benefit LAWS, Sept.

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

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

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

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

current financial situation does not change.

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

GIVE SOMEONE

A

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cover and cook on High for 2 minutes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lanark man killed in Highway 7 crash

By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca

EMC News – It was a frightening scene just outside Carleton Place Friday morning (Sept. 7) after a Volkswagen Jetta collided with a Greyhound bus, killing the driver of the car.

Twenty-nine-year-old Damon McCamon of Lanark died at the scene, Ontario Provincial Police said.

The impact happened around 10:15 a.m. on Hwy. 7

near Ramsay Concession 1.

Police said the eastbound car crossed the centre lane and struck the westbound coach head-on.

“The car was destroyed, but it did not catch fire,” Mississippi Mills Fire Chief Art Brown told the EMC. However, he explained the intense impact resulted in the motor being ejected from the vehicle. Insulation under the hood was smouldering.

Fourteen members of the

Mississippi Mills Fire Department responded to the scene of the collision, along with firefighters from the Ocean Wave Fire Company in Carleton Place.

Travelling from Ottawa to Toronto, 49 people including the driver, were aboard the bus. It veered into the ditch but stayed upright.

By the time fire officials arrived on scene, Brown said all passengers were off the bus, exiting by way of an emer-

gency window. A few suffered minor injuries – scrapes, bruising and soreness.

“We assisted ambulance personnel,” the fire chief stated, “checking out passengers, talking to them and keeping them calm.”

The remaining travellers were taken to the Neelin Street Community Centre in Carleton Place to wait for another bus so their trip could continue.

“I arranged for a school bus

EMC Events - Preserving the Harvest is what visitors will see this year when checking out the Middleville Agricultural Fair on Saturday, Sept. 15.

Ongoing for the past 160 years, the Middleville Fair is an old-fashioned country event that “brings people back to their roots,” says former president Grant Dixon.

There are no rides at this fair, but there are lots of attractions to keep the young, and young at heart fully entertained for the entire day. And for children under 12, there is no charge.

“The fair has always been about preserving heritage and learning about agriculture,” Dixon says.

Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier knows this just as well as any of his colleagues at Queen’s Park, but he decided to bring it into his charitable obligations as well, sitting it out on the dunk tank at the Beer Store in Perth on Sunday, Sept. 9. Here, he sees the wind-up, and the pitch, followed by the moment of impact as the ball connects with the target. The Beer Store was raising money for Roger’s House.

President of the board for the fair is Darrel Bond, who indicated on their website that upgrades to the fairgrounds have been taking place include new siding on the agriculture hall’s south side and new doors.

“The Board of Directors would like to thank all visitors to the fair for their con-

tinued patronage, as well as all the sponsors, contributors, exhibitors and volunteers who help to keep the fair viable and interesting for everyone,” he noted on their website at www.middlevillefair.ca Entertainment this year will see performer Arlene Quinn take to the stage at 3:30 p.m., with the board working on bringing in more local entertainment next year.

Judging of hall exhibits starts at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday and the fair will commence at 10 a.m. with a light horse show and a heavy horse demo.

More for the kids, there will be a pet show at 11 a.m. but if you’re taking part in this, please call Mary Dixon at 613-259-2243 to get more information. Prizes and ribbons will be offered for various categories.

The dining room will be open for home-cooked ham and bean lunch.

After lunch, children can enjoy a Teddy Bear show and that will be followed by a sheep show by the North Lanark 4H Achievement Program.

He stated passengers were given a place to sit down and relax, in addition to coffee, water and lunch.

Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc stopped by to offer support.

Brown said fire officials extricated the deceased from the vehicle, and remained on scene until approximately 3:30 p.m. for fire protection – guarding against any spills or leaks.

The highway was closed for several hours as police investigated.

In shock McCamon was employed at The New Oak Tree in Carleton Place, managing the warehouse and doing truck deliveries. He was on his way to work on Friday when tragedy struck, said Clive Richmond, owner of the company’s Na-

“We are all in shock,” he said.

He described McCamon as having a great personality – very meek and mild, easy going.

McCamon’s parents (Damon and Nancy) also work at the store.

With five Ontario locations and one in Alberta, The New Oak Tree produces quality handmade furniture.

McCamon will be missed by his two children, Addyson and Anthony, and their mother Donna Burt; his brother Danny (Andrea); grandparents Barbara McCamon and Joyce Donaldson.

A celebration of his life will take place on Thursday, Sept.

13 at the home of his parents, from 2 p.m. until the service at 4 p.m. Instead of flowers, donations to the Anthony and Addyson Trust Fund would be appreciated by the family.

Rivington named Kidney Foundation ambassador

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News – John Rivington is this year’s ambassador for Perth’s annual Give the Gift of Life walk for the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Rivington is living proof that organ donation is an important part of life and he encourages people to register online (www.ontario.ca) and become a donor.

“My wife gave me a kidney,” he said.

He started peritoneal dialysis in 2008 after his kidneys deteriorated over an eightyear period of time due to a “freak blockage.”

In August the following year, he was able to receive a new kidney from his wife, Cindy.

“There was no hesitation whatsoever,” Cindy said. “I had my blood tested immediately and then went through a series of tests just prior to the surgery.”

It only took her two weeks before she was back to work, but immediately following surgery, Cindy said she felt like she’d been hit by a truck.

“I had a few (narcotics for pain) right after, but once I got home, I was taking regular pain killers and was out (at a pub) drinking pop with my girlfriend the following weekend. So really, it was not a big deal.”

She heads to Ottawa an-

“I think people in general need to become more aware of the importance of kidney health...”

nually for her post surgery checkup.

Cindy signed her organ donor card back in 2001 when her brother was killed.

“At that time, his organs were used to save others, and I felt I needed to sign my card.

I just thought I’d be dead before I’d have to donate an organ,” she said with a laugh.

Cindy added that she was thrilled to be able to help her husband while she was “still alive.”

John says people need to be aware of their own kidney health.

“You can contribute to kidney disease by being an uncontrolled diabetic. There are other causes of kidney disease.

“But the kidneys are as important as the heart and if they fail, your survival rate options are not long,” he said.

The most important part of this whole story, he says, it’s being a donor.

“You realize time is very short and once you’re on di-

PERTH’S EVENTS The importance of organ donation will be reiterated at the Give the Gift of Life Walk on Sept. 30 in Perth, 11 a.m. from Crystal Palace.

But before that event, there will be a barbecue at Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer on Saturday, Sept. 11 starting at 11 a.m.

Brenda Dube is the Perth event coordinator for the Kidney Foundation.

“I think people in general need to become more aware of the importance of kidney health and realize anybody, young or old can be seriously affected by it,” she says.

“It needs to be made known, it is a very serious disease and can mean a matter of life or death.

“I encourage anyone to go on line and read information on it and get educated to have a better understanding.”

Participants can walk the 5km course on the day of the walk, or can take in a few kilometers.

“It’s not set in stone that you have to walk the full length of the course,” she said.

There will be a silent auction as well as refreshments that will be served following

Subway family unites for teen who suffers stroke Donations still being accepted at restaurant for Kylie Dowdall

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir64@metroland.com

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The owner of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Subway felt he needed to do something â&#x20AC;&#x201C; immediately â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after he heard that one of his employees suffered a stroke while on vacation.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Steve Schacher and staff at the restaurant put their plan in action and raised $1,075 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Renfrew, Lanark, Leeds and Grenville.

Another $400 was raised for the employee: 18-year-old Kylie Dowdall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She suffered a massive stroke (Aug. 13) while in Toronto,â&#x20AC;? Schacher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a terrible shock to all of us.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only 18.â&#x20AC;?

For every foot-long sub sold on Friday, Aug. 27, $1 was donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The store matched that, and it was also matched by the district store in Minden,â&#x20AC;? said Schacher, as he and his employees presented to the cheque to the foundation on

Friday last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how our community came together that day for Kylie. We are all like a family here.â&#x20AC;?

Kylie was taken to a Toronto hospital where it was learned that she had suffered a stroke. She remained there for over a week until she was transferred home. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still unknown as to why.

Her mom, Angie, says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progressing well, and is hopeful that her daughter, who turned 19 on Sept. 3, will make a full recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were all shocked,â&#x20AC;?

Angie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who would think that someone so young could have a stroke? We were all pretty upset.â&#x20AC;?

Kylie is still in hospital â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she was transferred to Perth Great War Memorial Hospital from Toronto last week.

She was out on the weekend, walking under her own power, to take part in her momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday celebration at the Perth Legion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it was a surprise birthday party for me,â&#x20AC;? said Angie, who turned 40. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It turned into a celebration for Kylie who was able to spend a couple of hours at the party before going back to the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are still doing tests on her. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why she had a stroke,â&#x20AC;? Angie said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got her memory back (which she lost at the onset of the stroke); as well as her mobility in her legs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be in therapy for four to eight weeks yet but we are hopeful for a full recovery.â&#x20AC;?

Kylie has worked at Subway for three years; her mom, Angie also works at the restaurant and has for the past 10 years.

They live in Maberly and Kylie is a graduate of Perth and District Collegiate Institute.

Her mom said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to see her daughter attend college, â&#x20AC;&#x153;for music, because sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always singing and dancingâ&#x20AC;? but for now, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concentrating on her recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incredible story about a group of people who came together and raised a lot of money in a short period of time,â&#x20AC;? said Charlene Doherty, the program coordinator for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steve and his staff are just like family and they are to be commended for their work.â&#x20AC;?

Schacher says they are still accepting donations at the restaurant for Kylie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community has been so supportive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the staff too. They really came together for Kylie and I thank everyone for that.â&#x20AC;?

Young people learn business skills on the job on the rules while Logan and Kira manage the play zone area and help those uncertain about the facility find their comfort level.

“She’s very good about taking them in and giving them a tour around,” Heidi said of Kira.

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

The Peskett family of Smiths Falls is taking entrepreneurial education to a new level with their three children.

The family has opened Siloki Laser Tag and has named their three children as board members of the new business. ness’ first dry run occurred in April this year when Logan’s birthday party guests became their first customers and the children had their first chance to talk about the new business venture.

“They believed me because I invited them to my party,” Logan added. “I just said I had my own laser tag company.”

The reaction from Sierra’s teenaged friends was more energetic.

“They were kind of psyched about it,” she said.

When Richard and his wife,

Heidi discussed starting the business the allure of ensuring their children would have a guaranteed summer and part-time job through school.

Their work began long before the first party.

All three Peskett children were consulted when it came to selecting the name, creating the Celtic logo and developing the website (www.siloki. webs.com).

“Essentially, I’ve been selling my services to my kids,” Richard said.

The children were shown

a variety of designs were presented to the children with the final design winning out with a clear majority.

“I found it was very clear and the colours were nice and sharp,” remarked 13-year-old, Sierra.

First start-up This is the first business start-up for everyone, though Richard has some independent work experience. As the oldest child, Sierra has been working with her father on the incorporation process and the

purchase of their new equipment from Europe where she learned about import and export and the rules of Free Trade.

“It was a nice learning process for both of us,” Richard said.

Sierra also recently took part in a leadership camp where she learned a variety of skills including developing age appropriate activities.

Each child has pitched in the business thus far. When hired Sierra helps to set up, prepare the equipment and brief guests

This fall Siloki is focusing on offering their services to all of Lanark County for birthdays and special events.

The laser tag service can go where the party is in your own backyard or welcome a party to 94 Cornelia St. W., Smiths Falls where parties are available for booking.

“The support of the community has been amazing,” Richard said, adding a special thanks to the Sensei Dave McNamara of the Smiths Falls Japan Karate Association for the use of their facility. “We’re very grateful to him for that.”

Bookings are coming in fast and furious with requests already being received for next summer. An average party consists of between six to 12 kids (minimum age of five years old). Over a twohour period there is a 90-minute game with two 15-minute breaks for presents and cake.

The Pesketts are operating the business part-time at this point, but if things continue to grow they would consider opening a permanent home in Smiths Falls.

R0011614479_0913

EMC Business - In the case of Siloki Laser Tag in Smiths Falls the inspiration behind the venture is all in their name.

The small business was named using the first two letters of the Peskett family children (Sierra, Logan and Kira) and appropriately so considering the three children are board of directors in the new business.

Siloki was born in November 2011 when the family incorporated the business and began working with their children to develop a logo and name with an eye of giving their children the skills needed to create their own opportunities in the future.

“What a great way to learn how to operate your own business,” Richard, their dad, said, adding. “You can’t fail by reading a book, but you also can’t succeed by reading a book.”

The initial idea came about two years ago in April when their son, Logan was celebrating his ninth birthday and asked his parents for a laser tag party. The Pesketts complied, but had to drive into Kingston with all the party guests to do so, which brought about the question: “Why isn’t there something closer?”

The Pesketts are pleased to answer this question with Siloki Laser Tag. The busi-

OPINION

Perth Courier - Your Community Newspaper

How deep will you dig?

EMC Editorial – There is a Chinese curse that hopes that the object of ill will lives in interesting times.

For both Lanark County Interval House and the Lanark Animal Welfare Society, these are, indeed, interesting times, for the wrong reasons. Both are facing large deficits as they struggle to face government cutbacks. LAWS has mused publicly that it might have to close its doors by year’s end, if the financial situation doesn’t improve.

Interval House is not at that stage yet, but we’ve already seen a women’s shelter close in Ottawa in recent months.

But it underlines the financial dilemma we find ourselves in here in Ontario that two county-wide institutions are facing a serious crunch.

Erin Lee-Todd, Interval House’s executive director, approached Smiths Falls town council earlier this week, the first stop in a countywide tour of different townships and towns to raise the alarm and seek funds to address the $59,000 deficit at the only area emergency shelter for women and their children in the county.

Now, let’s look at this selfishly. Why should you worry about what happens to someone you don’t even know? (Forgetting for a second that it can happen to anyone, anywhere, of any age or social bracket).

What about the increased policing costs?

You’re going to pay for that.

How about increased social welfare and medical costs? Ditto costs like counseling, especially for children.

There is a cost to this and we will all have to pay it eventually – we either pay for it now, or we pay for it later. The only thing is that the cost for paying for it later will be much higher, and we’re not talking about interest.

The whole concept of government is about setting financial priorities. What might be important to you might seem like complete balderdash to someone else, and vice versa.

More money for public parks? Pishaw, what about the police? Cut arts funding? No way, close tax loopholes! And so on.

Looking to the province is difficult at this point, considering their ongoing battles with doctors and teachers over their pay, to say nothing of their multi-billion dollar deficit.

Also, at the municipal level, in Smiths

Falls, for one example, had to cut their 2012 budget by nearly $400,000. Perth, in order to balance the books, is winding down its stand-alone police force and going with the OPP in the hopes of saving $700,000 a year.

And Mississippi Mills is in a constant battle to balance its books (by way of example, not to single them out as other municipalities are also in dire straits).

Forget about jurisdiction for a minute, and look to the federal government, and the billions of dollars that they say they need for new fighter jets that we don’t need, that have not gone through the normal procurement process.

So, we can afford billions for jets to fight in the sky, but we can’t afford to help out women and children in need at home. We can defend those same women and children from foes abroad, but not in their own homes. In essence, they’re on their own.

Now, we are sure that Interval House is giving itself a good, long, hard look at what it does. Its advocacy programs are, no doubt, very good, going in to schools to spread the message about violence against women, date rape, et cetera. But if it comes down to looking at keeping its core program, the 24-7 crisis line and 15 beds open at its facility, it may have to look to the schools, or another such group, to take on the advocacy portion.

At Interval House, the numbers of new cases are going up, but funding isn’t. The house has not seen an increase in funding over the last three years, and has been told that it will not see funding over the next five years – at least. Interval House is asking the county’s big towns, like Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills, to kick in $5,000 a year in funding, with $3,000 coming from remaining townships like Beckwith. This is truly a county-wide issue since, of the 2,200 emergency calls received this year, 15 per cent were from Smiths Falls, and 29 per cent were from Carleton Place.

Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples is to be commended for agreeing to bring this matter before Lanark County council next month.

We urge the county councillors to look at this issue seriously. We understand the hard financial times we find ourselves in, in this province these days. But that also does not mean that we can afford to forget the most vulnerable amongst us.

Freezer full of comfort food EMC Lifestyle - This is a dangerous time of year.

Temperatures are getting cooler, which means sweaters and jackets are being dug out of cupboards, and that can only mean bathing suit season is now safely in the rear-view mirror.

That’s not the dangerous part – unless we’re talking about people suffering from shock due to exposure to gleaming white skin or unnecessary flabbiness (which is what happens when I look in the mirror).

No, the dangerous part (and this is a nice segue from the flabbiness comment) is that cooler weather brings with it a desire for warm, cosy food – comfort food.

On Saturday, as darkness fell, along with possibly more rain than we’ve had all summer, I grabbed my pen, paper and a stack of recipes and made a list of things to cook and stash in the freezer.

First up – Nan’s spaghetti sauce. Spaghetti, with this sauce, is possibly my most favourite food. Nan got the recipe from an Italian woman in her neighbourhood a kazillion years ago. She passed it on to Mom, who taught me. Now the only time you won’t find a container of it in my freezer is in the peak of summer, when my stash has run out and it’s too hot to cook it.

Old recipes like these are about more than just the ingredients. You have to know how long it simmers and rests,

Stephanie

GRAY Past Deadline too.

It took me forever, for example, to figure out my Grandmom’s shortbread needed to spend some time in the freezer before it would taste as good as hers. That revelation came after years of trying to perfect the balance of ingredients, the “feel” of the dough while kneading it, and the thickness of the dough when cutting the cookies.

Next up was oatmeal cookies. My grand “I am a good mother” plan had been to do this last week so the kids would have homemade cookies in their lunch bags. I threw in some chocolate chips to make up for the tardiness.

Next was peach freezer jam.

I haven’t mastered cooked jam, and probably won’t, but the household seems happy with the freezer kind.

I make strawberry freezer jam each spring, but tried peach for the first time at the

end of August. Love it! It doesn’t hurt that on the day I made it a friend surprised us with a loaf of fresh-baked bread – still hot from the oven. Yum! So another batch of that was stashed in the freezer for cold-weather goodness.

I was ready to talk myself out of the last and largest item on my list, but was on a roll, so I made meatball stew.

Over the years I have made many stews – chicken, turkey, beef – and although they are perfectly fine stews that are quite enjoyed by the grownups, I never had a good, solid buy-in from the short people.

No, the stew they love – and I mean love – is the stuff from a can: Irish or beef made with the ground up mystery meatballs. (I gotta admit, I have a soft spot for those stews because they remind me of camping.)

Last year I set about to create a homemade version of that beloved stew. It took some tinkering, but I’ve done it. I make the meatballs (fairly plain) from scratch, brown them while mixing up the veggies and broth, and then throw it all together in the oven and let it roast slowly for a couple of hours. It’s not fancy – just time consuming – but I make an enormous batch and off to the freezer it goes. Now I almost feel organized!

While all this was going on there was not much housecleaning done, but I daresay there is no risk of us starving.

Return to class, running track, football field Algonquin College opens doors to community classes Now that the new building has a year under its belt, Algonquin Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perth Campus will open its doors to host general interest community courses this fall. This week, registration opens for nearly two dozen courses, ranging from carpentry to computers to safety programs. Dean Shelley Carter-Rose says the College looks forward to hosting these night and weekend courses, giving the community the opportunity to use the new facility. She adds the instructors are local and bring years of experience to the table. Some of the courses include an introduction to your

terior renovations and sewing courses. I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sign my husband up for the last one.

To find out more about the courses, you can visit the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at algonquincollege.com/perth and click on the part-time studies tab.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also an insert in this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paper.

Terry Fox Run this weekend Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to lace up your runners this Sunday, Sept. 16 for the annual Terry Fox Run at Conlon Farm in Perth, beginning at 9 a.m. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing to think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 32 years since Terry Fox made his way across Canada, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more heartwarming to wit-

ness Canadians continue the tradition he set out to finish.

We tend to relate the walk to a heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to raise money and awareness for cancer, and we should continue to reflect on what the walk means and the good it can bring. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re walking for yourself, a loved one or for Terry, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see you at the start line.

Football season starts Now that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to walk the Terry Fox Run, you can have a guilt-free time snacking away while watching NFL Sunday later that afternoon. At least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be telling myself. But if you want to see some live football action, the PDCI and St. John

High School football teams have started up their regular season. St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior team will host its next game against Almonte on Tuesday, Sept. 21 at 2 p.m. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t access the PDCI schedule in time for the deadline, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get that for the next column.

The two Perth teams go head-to-head on Friday, Oct. 12 at 1 p.m. on Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; territory.

Walks with Tux Since LAWS announced its impending closure this December, a number of community groups have reached out to try to help the animal shelter from permanently shutting its doors. One of those fund-

raisers includes the Walk your PAWS for LAWS event Sept.

23 in Carleton Place. The event will welcome pets and their owners to take part in a two-, five- or 10-km walk. The event hopes to raise $10,000 needed for the shelter. Registration begins at 9 a.m. that morning and the walk begins at 10 a.m. at the Carleton Place Arena and there will be prizes for top fundraisers and some fun prizes thrown in there for good measure as well. Unfortunately Tux wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to take part in the event, but if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around that weekend, you can step it up for LAWS. Have a Private I story idea for me?

Tennis club is not against splash pad through an OPP contract, the town will put it into reserves for such demanding issues as infrastructure, the lagoon, the filtration plant, new community centre and swimming pool, the latter two with a remaining life span of about 10 years.

We wanted to be sure council was not making a kneejerk reaction to a capital expenditure request of between $100,000 and $200,000, because every other community has a splash pad.

There are individuals and business owners who have indicated a willingness to donate to the cause. They are to be commended, and no doubt government grants will help, although, the town would still be required to pay a large por-

tion of the capital costs.

The presentation to council also suggested the proposed pad be placed at the old swimming pool on Mill Street.

This suggestion was not made to prevent it from being constructed at Conlon Farm, but merely a suggestion that such a facility might be more appropriate at this location. Many parents do not have access to Conlon Farm due to walking distance with small children, or a means of transportation and we have no knowledge of the logistics for this location. It was merely a suggestion.

So to be correct, club members are not against a splash pad. Mr. Turner made a very good and convincing presentation to support it.

Need â&#x20AC;&#x153;helpâ&#x20AC;? to lose weight â&#x20AC;Ś Need â&#x20AC;&#x153;helpâ&#x20AC;? to start a basic Fitness Program â&#x20AC;Ś Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make it happen.

R0011575107_0823

To the Editor, I wish to comment on the letter to the editor from Eric Bedford, Aug. 30 issue of The Perth Courier, re: proposed splash pad.

The emphasis of the letter and, unfortunately, the story which appeared in a previous issue of The Perth Courier, stressed that members of the Tay Tennis Club were upset because the noise from a proposed splash pad would be a disturbance to the players.

This argument, as part of a presentation made to council at a committee-of-the-whole meeting, was probably the least of membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; concerns and was added only at the request of a handful of members to the presentation.

What the presentation stated, but failed to be reported, was club members were not against a splash pad and this point was verbally emphasized several times.

The second point we stated to councillors, was that the town would next be responsible for the ongoing annual costs to maintain the pad, estimated to be $12,000.

The third point was to emphasize how the town has made it clear there is no extra money. With all the tax dollars that will supposedly be saved

For more information call Pat

613-267-6826

However, the club members want to be sure the town can afford it now and in future years. There is no doubt it would be a wonderful play area for children.

In light of what the town is facing in capital expenditures, now and in the foreseeable future, the fact that our debt load, at approximately $2.5

million, is miniscule to that of say, Smiths Falls, at approximately $15M, is this a luxury we, the tax payers, can afford, or like Smiths Falls, will we be passing more than a reasonable debt load on to our next generation?

Reader criticizes churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Israeli product boycott To the Editor: (Re: â&#x20AC;&#x153;United Church members support ban on products,â&#x20AC;? by Desmond Devoy, Perth Courier, P7, Sept. 6.)

I find it morally reprehensible that the United Church of Canada (UCC) supports a boycott of Israeli settlement products when the very promotion of this policy has been accused of having â&#x20AC;&#x153;racist characteristics.â&#x20AC;? (Christian Science Monitor).

The UCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposition is fatally flawed as it would not only hurt goods produced in Israel proper, but it will imperil the jobs of more than 30,000 Palestinians who are gainfully employed and who

have work insurance in the settlements, according to the BBC. If settlements were such an obstacle to peace, can the UCC please explain why an Arab boycott of Jewish products was formally declared in 1945, before Israel even became a Jewish state, and decades before the first settlement was built? Can the UCC explain why, following Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s removal of its Gaza settlements and the forceful uprooting of more than 8,500 settlers, that this bold peace overture did not bring about Palestinian harmony, but only more relentless terror in the form of thousands of rockets

fired at Israeli cities? Importantly, where is the UCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boycott of Syria where the Assad regime has ruthlessly slaughtered more than 20,000 of its own civilians? Why is Israel the only country deserving of opprobrium?

When put in perspective, one understands that boycotts, which aim to strangle Israel economically for settlements that sit on less than two per cent of the West Bank, is not aimed at building a Palestinian state, but destroying a Jewish one.

Junior farmers, take business studies too: FCC EMC News - High school students considering a career in agriculture in the next five years should focus on acquiring marketing, management and other business skills according to a new cross-Canada survey conducted by Farm Credit Canada (FCC) and Agriculture in the Classroom Canada.

About 2,000 FCC members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; producers and agribusiness owners across Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were asked in April 2012 to list

the skills they believe young people need to be successful in agriculture.

In addition to marketing, management and business skills, respondents also identified knowledge, understanding of agriculture, and technology as priorities for young people who want to work in the industry.

Producers are currently enjoying high prices, which may represent a short-term spike.

The long-term economic

outlook, however, looks positive for well-educated, young people venturing into the industry.

Pride Day events feature scavenger hunt, picnic in the park

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News – From a scavenger hunt to an evening concert at PDCI, this year’s Pride Day will take place Sept. 22 and everyone is welcome to attend.

Organizers are the people of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Lanark County, who say they are looking forward to the event.

“There is lots to see and do and we wanted to hold the event in Perth because it’s been a very welcoming community,” said Tracy Smith, one of the organizers of Pride

Day activities in Perth.

There will be a scavenger hunt, involving local businesses, a picnic in Stewart Park and an evening of entertainment by Drake Jansen, country music singer, at Perth and District Collegiate Institute.

From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. visit Crystal Palace for instructions on the scavenger hunt that will encourage people to drop into local stores that have sponsored the event.

Calvin Neufeld will be presenting a talk at St. Paul’s Church from 1 to 2 p.m. entitled “Perth Pride: Journey

“There are so many colours to this rainbow when you see them all together you can’t help but see something beautiful.”

through the LGBTTIQQ2SAA Labyrinth.”

The doors will open at 12:30 p.m. “with Calvin plinking away on the piano.”

The fun, informal and informative presentation takes a broad look at the big picture of sexual and gender diversity.

“I figured that Pride Day should not only be a day of celebration but also an opportunity to learn,” Neufeld said, who is a trans man and no stranger to diversity.

“There are so many colours to this rainbow, when you see them all together you can’t help but see something beautiful.”

Using stick person drawings to evoke meaning from simplicity, this presentation will explore the multitude of

EMC Events - We have settled comfortably into our new location, The McMartin House, 125 Gore, Street East in Perth. As soon as we discovered how to operate the air conditioner, we knew that this room was made for us.

Note on your calendars that our September films will take place on both the last Sunday of the month and, as it happens, also the last day of the month.

We have two films for your enjoyment, a short followed by a feature.

Speechless: This is one of the timeliest shorts we have had in a long time. What happens when the way we communicate with technology conflicts with how we relate to our family? A family sits down for a microwave meal as they communicate using technology. Will they learn to reconnect? The show is eight minutes in English. Written and directed by Daniel Greaves.

Sedona: Is one of our favourite feel-good feature films we have seen in the Spiritual Cinema Circle in a long time. Starring Frances Fisher, Sedona is a transformative journey of a mother and son and everyone they are connected to as they step outside of their routines. As Carl Jung cautioned, “What you resist persists.”

Visitors to the mystical town of Sedona, Arizona encounter eccentric characters and a series of calamities that lead them to unexpected miracles.

It is 90 minutes in English.

Written and directed by Tommy Stovall.

There is no charge but a small donation to pay for the use of the room is welcome, but not necessary.

We are an informal group sharing the experience of films that explore what it means to be a caring, questioning human. Bring your friends, your insights, your own refreshments. For more information, contact Jim Deacove 613 267-4819.

The event is free and accessible to young, old and queer folk, straight and all folk in between, he said.

The picnic in the park will feature “nibblies” and everyone is encouraged to attend this event which starts at 2 p.m. and continues to 4 p.m.

The evening concert at PDCI will start with Shelley Montreuil of Yo Mamma, who will open for Jansen.

The country music singer played at O’Reilly’s Pub in

Perth recently to a packed house.

“It was filled right to the back door for Drake,” said Cathy Blaine, who is also helping to coordinate Pride Day activities.

“We are hoping to fill that auditorium as a fundraiser for LGBT.” Tickets are $20 which includes an after dinner party at the Perth Restaurant, where Jansen will have an informal jam session.

Advanced Scene Study Those who have advanced beyond an introductory phase will be able to register at Algonquin College for Advanced Scene Study for Adults. That course runs Thursday evenings at 6 to 9 p.m. from Oct. 4 to Dec. 20.

This course focuses on three elements of acting, including the creation of character, intention, and play analysis.

Through the intensive study of scenes, students will learn how to get inside a play and its roles and practice presenting them, under Smith’s direction, with an opportunity to present their final product before fellow classmates and invited guests.

“We have a great number of community theatre folks in Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Newboro, Merrickville, Kemptville and other area towns, and this is a terrific opportunity for them to take it to another level as part of the College’s adult education program,” Smith says.

Registration is now open for both courses. For the introductory class, call 613-267-1224, or visit the Perth Library at 30 Herriott Street in Perth. For Algonquin’s advanced class, call 613-267-2859 or go to: www.algonquincollege.com/ perth.

EMC News - Both budding actors and those with some acting experience under their belts will enjoy two opportunities to hone their skills and learn new techniques this fall under the guidance of the Classic Theatre Festival’s Laurel Smith, who will be teaching a series of courses at the Perth & District Union Public Library and at Algonquin College. Smith helms the Classic Theatre Festival, the Perthbased professional company that just completed its third year of producing classic hits from the golden age of Broadway and the London Stage. A lifelong performer, director, producer, writer, dramaturge, teacher, and passionate promoter of all things theatre, Smith is looking forward to sharing her skills.

Beginner Acting Class The first course, All Ages Scene Study for Beginners, is an introductory opportunity for those who have always had an interest in acting but did not know where to start.

Taking place at the Perth & District Union Public Library on Tuesdays from 5 to 8 p.m., and running Oct. 2 to Nov. 20, the course is a chance for anyone aged 12 to adult to get a sense of the basics of acting that could launch them into a play at school, in community theatre, or use the skills in their daily lives.

“Theatre skills are not just a window into the theatre, they can build your self-esteem, allow you to speak publicly without fear, or handle tense situations through role playing,” Smiths explains. At the end of the course, participants will have an opportunity to present some of their work before invited guests at the

"Your subconscious mind can not be fooled," he said.

The new cessation program has taken Strudwick years to perfect. He began eight years ago by researching existing programs and their success rates, as well as the physical changes alcohol produces in the body. "I needed to know what's going on inside the mind," Strudwick said.

After eight years of development and work the area resident feels confident he has a new cessation program to offer individuals in the Ottawa area that is unlike anything else. Registration is now open with an early bird deadline of Sept. 17 for $249. After that

registration fee will increase to $299. Those wishing to register can call 1-888-692-9920 or log onto Strudwick's website at www.insightstudiocanada.com.

The INSIGHT Studio The alcohol cessation program is one of many Strudwick's new businesses, The INSIGHT Studio, is offering the region. Having opened mid-June this year the studio has grown rapidly thanks to the diversity of workshops offered. In addition to his sessions on weight loss, anger management and alcohol and smoking cessation is a host of services for the corporate world.

"I'm constantly working myself out of a job," Strudwick said.

He offers programs designed to help people overcome procrastination, increase sales confidence, deal with demanding people and handle stress in a larger corporate setting. For businesses where time is of the essence, Strudwick will take his techniques to their door with halfhour power lunch sessions.

Strudwick moved to the Lanark area about four years ago with a vision of offering his unique services to the Ottawa area without having to battle the urban traffic. The INSIGHT Studio is hoping to hold a grand opening later this year to celebrate this new service in the region.

Strudwick's journey to this new business began at a young age.

EMC Business - Area occupational hypnotist, Trevour Strudwick doesn't see alcoholism as a disease - he sees it as a coping method that has run its course, and when that happens his techniques of hypnotic suggestion come in.

The area practitioner believes he is the first to bring together the series of healing techniques he offers in his workshops to support individuals in their desire to change their lives and heal from what is keeping them down. In his alcohol cessation program, that will be launched in Perth and Smiths Falls early next month, Strudwick uses his life coaching skills, hypnosis and emotional freedom techniques (pressure points pushed in sequence) to guide his clients to a new way of coping that sets aside alcohol.

"I teach you how to go into hypnosis in class," Strudwick said. "It's a matter of really deep relaxation; that's it."

The program runs once a week for four weeks beginning Oct. 2 in Smiths Falls and Oct. 4 in Perth. Each participant receives in-class training and access to Strudwick's online exercises and recordings that can be downloaded for the complete 28-day program.

Strudwick said the program is unique in assisting high functioning individuals with a dependency on alcohol because it is the first to attack the problem at the subconscious level.

"Other programs deal exclusively with the conscious mind . . . when the pattern is in the subconscious mind," Strudwick said.

Terry Fox Run events happening locally this weekend sroy@perfprint.ca

molecular level rather than in the area of the body.

EMC Events - Over the last two decades Elgin has joined hundreds of communities across Canada in keeping Terry Fox’s belief in miracles alive by taking part in the annual Terry Fox Run. “I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to,” Terry Fox said during his 1980 Marathon of Hope campaign to raise a dollar for every Canadian by running across the country.

Since this courageous start The Terry Fox Foundation, through Terry Fox Run participants, has raised over $600 million for cancer research in a variety of fields. This investment has led to research into innovative treatment such as tricking resistant cancer cells into self destructing or attacking breast cancer at the genetic level to arrest the progression of the disease. Researchers have also found a genetic link to ovarian, testicular and uterine cancer, which is increasing hope that therapies can be designed to treat at the

September 16 run It is progress such as this that propels organizer and run participant, Ross Hawkins, each September.

“This is one way to give back and work toward a future where we can be without cancer,” Hawkins said. “Almost everyone’s family has been touched by cancer.”

This year’s Elgin Terry Fox Run will be held at the Lions Hall (County Road 8) on a different time to take advantage of the cooler morning temperatures.

Registration will begin at 9 a.m. with a 10 a.m. start. Also new this year will be the addition of a 4km route. In response to past requests, walkers and runners can now choose from a 2km, 4km and 10km distance.

Hawkins said he hopes the diversity in routes will result in some new faces joining the event this year.

“In most cases it’s the same people,” Hawkins added.

“We’d like to have more runners every year.”

Pledge forms are available at the Elgin bank and families

By STACEY ROY

wanting to take part on the fly are welcome to come out the day of the event to fill out the registration form with a personal donation. The Terry Fox Run has never had a minimum fundraising amount, believing like Terry himself that every dollar towards cancer research keeps hope alive.

“Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me,” Fox said toward the end of his run.

Terry Fox ran a marathon a day for 143 days before cancer returned in his lungs and he was forced to stop outside of Thunder Bay on Sept. 1.

The champion who inspired a nation with his Marathon of Hope died June 28, 1981 at the age of 22.

This month hundreds of communities across Canada are working to see a world without cancer by taking part in a Terry Fox Run. The Rideau Lakes Lions Club has been hosting a Terry Fox Run for over 20 years now. A Perth run is also being held at Conlon Farm Sept. 16 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and welcomes participants.

Transition Month features variety of activities EMC News - Transition Perth hosts Transition Month this September, featuring the popular Gift Bazaar at the Perth Farmers’ Market, a showing of the newlyreleased film Anima Mundi, and a book and DVD display at the Perth Public Library.

Since Transition Perth began in the summer of 2010, this group of volunteers has hosted 18 events and estimate that they have connected with approximately 400 different people in the community. Their past events include: two veggie garden tours; a gift bazaar and services swap; a solar cooker demonstration; a skill-sharing series with workshops on fruit propagation, grafting and collaborative communication; six film and discussion evenings; a film and discussion for youth; and three community potlucks.

In keeping with the flow of fun and engaging activities, the group is launching into September as Transition Month. One of the Transition Perth steering committee members, Bonita Ford, says: “I think building relationships in the community is at the heart of Transition Perth. Most people seem to come away from our events feeling inspired and interested.

Transition Month is a great opportunity for people to come together, meet each other and get more involved in the community.”

The Gift Bazaar, Services Swap and Community Potluck will be held on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 15 at the Perth Farmers’ Market inside the Crystal Palace. The public is invited to bring their gently-used items to give away as well as services to share. Items could include

toys, books, clothes, kitchen ware, small furniture, and more. Free services can be shared during the event, such as mini-massages, songs, jokes, face-painting, and hugs; there will be a Services Swap table where people can let others know about the kinds of services they may wish to exchange after the event. The event encourages people to think about small-scale barter and gift economies, the re-use of materials, and the exchange of local goods and services. The organizers ask that all participants please take back whatever items they bring that do not get picked up, so to please come back or stay to the end. There will be a community potluck lunch starting around noon.

The newly-released movie, Anima Mundi, will be shown at Algonquin College on Wednesday, Sept. 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. The film focuses on permaculture, climate change, peak oil and the “soul of the world”. It features interviews with experts such as Noam Chomsky, Vandana Shiva, and David Holmgren. Anima Mundi showcases alternatives like retrofitting the suburbs, Earthships, localized food production and currencies, and planned energy decent. It incorporates the environment, energy, housing, food, local economies, transportation, technology, education, healthcare, arts, culture and more.

In September, the Perth and District Public Library will also have a display of books and DVD’s on the theme of Transition. The books include: Agenda For A New Economy

Middleville Museum celebrates new expansion completion with community barn dance fundraiser

The Middleville Museum celebrated the completion of a $160,000 expansion onto the museum with a barn dance fundraiser.

Borrowman, curator. “That is the reason that we were awarded the funds in the first place; they knew how much support we had from the community.”

The fundraiser drew well over 150 local residents to the museum for the dance where residents were served up homemade chili and sweets by the women who volunteer their time to the museum. After serving a packed house of hungry mouths, a group of lo-

cal musicians picked up their guitars, fiddles and keyboards and played together like they’d played together forever, entertaining the crowd who soon couldn’t resist the dance floor.

The museum is also holding its third annual quilt fundraiser to help support the new exhibits and expenses with a handmade quilt that will be raffled off at the Middleville Fair this Saturday.

EMC News - The Middleville Museum celebrated the completion of a $160,000 expansion onto the museum with a Barn Dance Fundraiser Sept. 8.

The museum was awarded monies from a Trillium grant that staff had applied for in order to erect a much needed expansion onto the museum.

The large addition will be home to several new exhibits.

The museum has received a donation of a log cabin from a local resident that is original to the time of Scottish settlers and it will be disassembled and then reassembled inside the new addition along with other artifacts depicting life as it was at that time.

“The plan is to take visitors on a journey through time,” said Wendy Phillips, a museum board member.

The new addition will allow guests of the museum to travel chronologically through the museum as these new artifacts and exhibit stations are completed over the next few years by museum staff and volunteers.

The fundraiser was held as part of a requirement that the museum contribute a portion of the funds required to build the expansion. “We have so much support from our wonderful community,” said Alice

Trial on third child pornography charge likely next month

By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com

EMC News – Tentative trial dates of Oct. 24 and 25 have been set for a 32-yearold Perth woman as legal proceedings continue on the third of three child pornography charges.

Bridget Theobald’s lawyer was in the Ontario Court of Justice in Smiths Falls on Monday, Sept. 10. A publication ban was placed on the case on Monday, Aug. 27 during a sitting of the Ontario Court of Justice in Perth.

Back in July, Theobald pleaded guilty to charges of possession of child pornography and making available child pornography. She did not enter a plea on a third charge of accessing child pornography.

The accused had her Perth residence raided on Sept. 26, 2011, following an investigation by the Perth Police Service and the OPP’s Child Sexual Exploitation Unit, which involved an on-line, undercover operation. Under the search warrant, police seized

three computers and other technical equipment. She was arrested later that day, and appeared in court on Sept. 27, 2011.

other libraries who want to use the program, so that they do not have to re-invent the wheel.

“It was a quick turnaround,” said Goldman. “She has a lot of experience with child literacy so she was able to hit the ground running.”

The library applied for the grant in March of 2012 and Goodfellow was hired in August after they got the green light on the funding in July.

The morning starts off with baby time reading, songs and movement from 9:30 to 10 a.m., followed by baby talk time with a nurse from the health unit from 10 to 11:30 a.m. The time is also important to parents and children alike as it also allows for socialization and interaction.

“It brings a lot of resources together in one place,” said Goldman.

The program will also likely be expanded later this fall to Almonte, and Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Lanark in late winter/early spring.

“We’re hoping that it can be sustained by the libraries,” said Goldman.

While having a library full of nursing, crying, curious babies may not fit in with the image of a library as a sanctuary of quiet, Goldman noted that the modern library is moving away from its old “shhh” philosophy.

“Libraries are not particularly quiet anymore,” said Goldman with a laugh. There will be an intake survey conducted at the end of the program.

with the introduction of allday kindergarten, there is less demand for toddler activities.

“None of the other (Lanark County libraries) have been able to do a baby-specific one (program),” she noted. “As all-day kindergarten comes in, there is less and less demand for toddlers” programs.

Now, thanks to a $30,000 Healthy Communities Fund grant from the Ontario government, as well as a new partnership with Children’s Resources on Wheels (CROW)/The Ontario Early Years Centre (OEYC), Perth’s library has become one of only five libraries in the country to offer pre-literacy skills and information specifically designed for infants up to age 12 months.

“Only about 25 per cent of libraries are offering baby time programs,” and even then, mostly in urban areas like Toronto and Ottawa. “(We want to) make sure that literacy is important to every part of life…Libraries are always underfunded and trying to do more, especially in rural areas.”

The grant money allowed the Perth library to hire Cindy Goodfellow to be the project coordinator for the program.

She has worked as a teacher and coordinator for the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville District Health Unit’s Language Express program. She will be working on a web site and program kit, containing everything from several copies of the same book to puppets that can later be used by

Book signing supports Big Brothers Big Sisters EMC News - 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. $10 from the sale of each book sold at the store locations 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 honored 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.”

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 Street, East 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 A Walk with Mary by Jennifer DeBruin, is an Historical Fiction, published by General Store Publishing House.

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.

A weekly directory of local businesses and services for quick and easy reference when you need their services. They’ll appreciate your patronage.

EMC Sports – Who can help the Special Olympics?

Why, the Caddy Men can!

Sportsmen enjoy helping fellow sportsmen, and none more so than the Wednesday evening women’s golf group that meets at the Perth Golf Club.

August 8, the women held a “caddy auction” during which the women bid on which men they wished to caddy for them during their Aug. 22 games.

There was just one catch, as host Hugh Colton reminded them – the men were identifiable only by their legs, the rest of their bodies hidden behind a barrier.

The speculation only drove prices for the 15 participating caddies higher, eventually raising $1,700 for the local Special Olympics chapter, only the latest good cause the women have supported.

In 2011, they donated money to the Food for Thought school nutrition program which serves schools, both Catholic and public, throughout Lanark County, while, in the past, they donated money to the Snowsuit Fund and to combat juvenile diabetes. Of particular joy to them is the fact that the money for the Special Olympics raised in Perth, will stay in Perth and its environs, and support its 100 or so athletes.

Many of the Special Olympians were on hand for the Aug. 22 game, proudly showing off their medals.

“They really made the evening,” said Ann Buchanan, of the Wednesday night group.

“The athletes were very happy to show off their medals and be recognized,” said Sue Closs, the local chapter’s treasurer.

Women’s golf member Claire Smith noted that it was important to have the Special Olympians on site to give a face, a heart, and a soul, to the

organization, because “unless you have someone in your family (with special needs) you may not see it” and be exposed to it as often.

Smith added that bringing the golfers and Olympians together showed that “this would be a great way to get Special Olympics golf” in the area, if only there were a dedicated coach to compliment the sport the way there is for cross-country skiing, swim-

EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to rumble.

The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings hit the ice Friday night in their opening game of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season against their valley rivals, the Almonte Thunder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a very strong team this year,â&#x20AC;? says Hamish Fraser, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach and general manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty happy we have everyone back in the lineup.â&#x20AC;?

Fraser is especially excited about a strong defensive core when he retrieved Matt Dimillo from Ottawa West, whom he traded away at the start of last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got Dimillo back and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 20-year-old vet. He was eager to return. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given him more control to help stabilize the defensive corps.â&#x20AC;?

A new defenceman in the lineup is Andrew Davis of London, who is attending a trades program at Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Algonquin College this year. He will help give â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perth the best defence in the Valley division,â&#x20AC;? Fraser said.

Brett Madigan, Riley Kane

and Shawn McGillivary (this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s captain) are just a few of the returning core of vets, along with Jeremy Wright in the crease who has some friendly rivalry for that staring role between the pipes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a newcomer, Jason Shaw, (who stands 6-5 and weighs 200 pounds). He will be attending Algonquin and will give Jeremy (Wright) some pressure to keep focused,â&#x20AC;? said the coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty impressive.â&#x20AC;?

Fraser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than last year. We have secured some major sponsors in Perth Kia and Central Wire, and will be doing more work for the food bank and breast cancer.â&#x20AC;?

Golf gals donate cash, bras to women who need them

By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

EMC News - The Canadian Cancer Society received an $8,000 hole-in-one this week, thanks to the owners of the Blue Heron Golf Club, who donated funds raised from a recent Golf Fore the Cure event.

Joan Sobil and her husband Dennis purchased the golf course near Lanark last year and over the past two they have raised $15,300 for the cancer society.

“That’s an amazing amount of money for two years,” said Amanda Gifford of the Lanark, Leeds & Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society.

Sobil was in Perth on Sept.

6 to donate a cheque to the cancer society.

“I always said if I was ever given the gift of a golf course, I would do all I could to raise money for the cancer society,” she said, stipulating that she wanted the funds to stay local.

As an emergency room nurse, Sobil said she’s been on the other side of the treatments and knows full well, the pain and suffering her patients go through. Her average patient is under 50 years of age.

“I see the suffering from their standpoint and all that is involved. I’ve also seen nurses I work with going through treatments,” she said.

“I want to promote events (like Golf Fore the Cure) and raise funds for the cancer society,” she said.

The full house of participants also collected about five dozen pink (or shades of pink) bras which were given to the Salvation Army in Perth and to Lanark Interval House.

“We had a waiting list this year (to golf),” Sobil said, who added that she may extend the golfing to two days so that everyone who wants to can participate. “But that’s a lot of work.”

Hosting the tournament this year, she was able to solicit help from her family. “It’s hard doing a tournament like this by yourself – organizing it, getting the sponsors and so forth – but my family was great to help me, and I even golfed in it (with her Think Pink crew),” she said.

“That was stupid,” she added with a laugh. “There was so much to do.”

Sobil also commended businesses and individuals who helped with donations and sponsorships. “We couldn’t have done it without their help,” she said. “Everyone was terrific – especially the business men. They all jumped on board with sponsorships.”

Leanne Waddell, manager of the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the CCS, says the funds from the Golf Fore the Cure will be used for a number of projects.

“We have a transportation program where volunteers give patients rides to treatment – (Wheels of Hope) – that could be Ottawa or Kingston,” Waddell said.

Other programs include a buddy system where patients are paired with volunteers

who have been through similar traumas, to help deal with the emotions, the fear and the questions that are associated with being diagnosed with cancer.

There is also a program that helps patients get back into life after treatment, called Living Well Beyond Cancer.

Prevention and screening (like for sun safety) are other programs where the money is used locally, noted Gifford, whose team of volunteers at the Perth office created gift bags for all the golfers in the tournament.

The CCS is “totally funded” by volunteers in the community who organize events like the daffodil sales and Relay for Life – the two largest fundraisers – and golf tournaments like Golf Fore the Cure.

A new incentive this year, adopted from the United States, is Bark for Life Relay that will take place in Brockville on Sept. 22, at Hardy Park. The dog-walking 2km event will start at 9 a.m. It works the same way as Relay for Life as teams are asked to collect funds for the cancer society.

“This is going to be our inaugural event,” said Waddell. “We’re looking forward to it.” According to the CCS website, $52.5 million was invested into Ontario communities. Highlights include: $20.6 million dollars invested into leading-edge cancer research; helped more than 1,600 cancer patients participate in clinical trials across Canada; drove 13 million kilometres helping 13,000 patients get to treatment and cancer-related appointments and answered more than 23,000 cancer questions through the organization’s free cancer information service.

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

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

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

The love we share together keeps us close to you.

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

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

Love, Mom and Dad

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

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

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

Keep my memory with you, For memories never die.

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

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

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

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

Love, Erin

THE EMC - 52 - Thursday, September 13, 2012

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our love is evergreen Love you forever Dad and Allen

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

It is a choice.

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

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

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

No one is immune.

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

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

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

To us you were so special, What more is there to say, Except to wish with all our hearts That you were here today.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remembering you is easy, we do it everyday.

Missing you is a heartache that never goes away.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

By JEFF MAGUIRE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“It’s a good league.

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

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

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

We should be fine.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“The boys played hard

and were competitive – a good start for sure.”

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

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

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

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