EMC Events – Imagine being a fly on the wall of the Abbey Road studios when Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band was being recorded? Or seeing Michael Jackson work on his Moonwalk before debuting it on a Motown anniversary television special in the early ’80s? Or even being present when Justin Bieber uploaded his first singing video to YouTube? Well, now you can say you knew where you were when the “Myeloma March” composed by recently retired Perth and District Collegiate Institute music teacher Jack Hurd, and performed by the 160 year-old Perth Citizens’ Band, was unveiled at the Stewart Park bandshell on Sunday, Sept. 23 at 2 p.m. Doing his best Dick Clark impression that day will be Mayor John Fenik as the host of the festivities. The rain-or-shine performance is a fundraiser for multiple myeloma (MM) awareness. Homemade baking and
refreshments will be provided. To donate to the cause, click on the link at www.emptybowls.ca. About 10 cities across Canada will be holding MM marches on that same day, but “we thought we’d put a bit of a twist on this,” said organizer Jackie Seaton, who himself was diagnosed last year with the disease. Instead of marching, he decided that a rousing marching tune, in the style of John Philip Sousa, was more in order. In walking around town, putting up posters for the event, Seaton recounted to the Town of Perth’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11 that “you would not guess the number of people who have been touched by this disease.” Luckily for him, his diagnosis was made early enough for proactive treatment to make a positive impact. He underwent a stem cell transplant and “I bounced back to good health and I expect to be around for many, many years.” Other sufferers are not so lucky. He stopped at a store
on Gore Street East, and was speaking with the owner. “Oh, multiple myeloma, I know all about that,” said the store owner to Seaton. “My husband died about four years ago (from MM).” For that poor man, it was not caught in time and “there was too much irreversible damage done. There are early signs if you know to look for them.” The need for spreading awareness about the disease was evident around the council table. “I hadn’t heard of this disease until I saw it on the poster today,” said Coun. Jim Boldt. While Seaton will be relaying his own story at the event, and will provide information, he encouraged the curious to Google Myeloma Canada’s web site for details. “Mostly (it affects people) over 60 years old, it is mostly male, but not entirely,” Seaton said, recalling that he has met two young women who have it. “It surprised me a lot. In this very room there are people who have been touched by this disease and it is not just me.”
EMC News – Town staff will look at adding signage at downtown crosswalks reminding pedestrians that cars are not legally required to stop for them. “I myself have had more than one occurrence where someone walked out in front of me and I had to slam on the breaks,” said Coun. Jim Boldt, during Perth’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11. During a trip to Carleton Place, he noticed signs posted at the pedestrian courtesy crosswalks along Bridge Street which notify pedestrians that vehicles are not legally required to stop for them and “the signage caught my eye,” he said. “I know it (the extra warning signs) won’t save us in court,” said Boldt, “but for tourists, it may help save a person from walking out into traffic.” Boldt has been working on this issue for some time over the summer. In an email exchange between Boldt and Coun. Judy Brown on July 12, Boldt wrote, “My primary concern is that they (the signs) promote a sense of security for pedestrians who wish to cross the road because they think that automobiles will automatically stop once they start across the marked crosswalks.” “It’s a great sign, I agree with Coun. Boldt,” said Mayor John Fenik of the extra warning sign. Master Plan review A review of the town’s transportation master plan will commence later this fall, and should take a year to complete. A look at installing these signs as part of that plan will also be included in the process. Courtesy crosswalks were first installed at the intersection of Gore Street East and Market Street at town hall in 1990. A report from Jim Connell, director of protective services at the town, stated that “the nature of the crosswalk afford little protection to a pedestrian who does not pay attention to traffic. While they are a defined location, pedestrians’ use of the crosswalk is at the users’ risk. Police would likely not lay a charge against a driver if the driver does not yield to a pedestrian. It is the responsibility of the pedestrian crossing at the ‘courtesy’ locations to ensure vehicles have stopped before they cross.” The report also consulted with Perth Police Service Chief Pat Capello who wrote that “traffic incidents involving pedestrians and motorists often result in injurious consequences. Pedestrians’ safety is the responsibility of both driver and pedestrian.” Connell’s report to the traffic and parking committee, prepared July 26, added that if a signal system were installed at one location, it would cost about $100,000.

Pedestrians will have to be more cautious when crossing at a courtesy crosswalk as cars are not obligated to stop.

A little dedication makes a big difference EMC News – Two and a half years ago, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County (BBBS) welcomed mentor, Stacey Shrout. Stacey started with the agency as an In-School Mentor, where she spent one hour a week mentoring her little sister, Destiny. She began to feel as if she could give more of her time to volunteering and decided to make the transition to be-
come a traditional ‘big sister’; spending more time, outside of school, with her little sister. Every day, BBBS is trying to recruit mentors as dedicated as Stacey. Local at-risk youth benefit from role models, and they need someone special in their lives to look up to, and guide them. This is exactly the role that big sister, Stacey plays in the life of her little sister, Destiny.
Shrout had set a personal goal for herself - to be a mentor. A friend got her involved and her mother was a BBBS mentor as well. When she realized the increasing need for mentors at BBBS, she knew it would be a good fit. “It was a bigger commitment than I had originally anticipated but when I saw the need; it made my decision to continue very easy,� Shrout said. The process to become a mentor was very “easy and thorough,� she said, but she was “guided every step of the way� by BBBS caseworkers.
When Shrout and Destiny meet every week, they enjoy doing different things. They like to swim, shop, do crafts, and bake. Shrout likes to go on drives with her little sister, as that is when they have the best chats. Whatever they are doing, Stacey explained, “It’s a few hours that I don’t have to worry about work or the bills. We can just hang out. It’s like reliving my youth at times.� Destiny’s grandmother, Marion says she couldn’t be more pleased with the match between Destiny and Stacey.

County elementary school teachers withdrawing from extra-curricular activities desmond.devoy@metroland.com
EMC News – Elementary school teachers in Perth and elsewhere in Lanark County are taking steps to remove themselves from supervising extra-curricular activities. The EMC has learned that, following a Sept. 17 meeting of Perth teachers, the cross country team at the Stewart School will be allowed to continue on with its season, since training had already begun, but that other sports teams and clubs will not be opened, as teachers give voice to their displeasure over the passage of Bill 115, the Putting Students First Act of 2012. Teachers at Glen Tay Public School and The Stewart School will also be taking a hard line on withdrawing from extra-curricular activities. However, local secondary school teachers won’t be withdrawing from supervising after-class activities just yet, according to a local union boss. “I don’t know for sure,” said Danny Thomas, teacher president for the local branch of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation (OSSTF), during a telephone interview from his Kemptville office on Sept. 17. While he has not heard any directives from the union’s head office in Toronto, “we don’t have any immediate plans for that (work-to-rule) in the immediate future for here,” though he did note that his teachers temporarily withdrew their afterhours services for 24 hours
feel picked on.” Thomas noted that teachers are “fully aware” of the dire financial straits that the province finds itself in at the moment, with a $15-billion deficit, but added that “we proposed a wage freeze” to the McGuinty government, which did not appear to appease them. “All of this stuff is way too deep,” said Thomas. Thomas said he considered it a shame that local solutions could not be found to the problem, and surmised that school boards feel dismayed at the outcome of the vote as well. “They (school boards) are as upset as we were when the government came along and said, ‘You are not going to negotiate,’” said Thomas. Terry Simzer, director of communications for the Upper Canada District School Board, noted that the ball is in the union’s court as to what, if any, extra-curricular sports, drama and clubs get cancelled. “It’s their issue so we won’t get caught up in all that,” said Simzer on Monday. “It’s very early on. It’s very sporadic. (But) they will decide how long this goes on for.” Simzer noted that the extra-curricular activities are indeed “voluntary.”
According to the OSSTF web site, Lanark-FrontenacLennox and Addington MPP Randy Hillier (Progressive Conservative) was absent for the Bill 115 vote, while Carleton-Mississippi Mills P.C. MPP Jack MacLaren voted in favour of the bill. Leeds-Grenville Tory MPP Steve Clark also voted yes to the bill. The OECTA Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) hammered out a deal with the provincial government on July 5. Amber Laberge, communications officer with Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO), said that because of this deal, no English Catholic schools in the region are affected by any threat of work-to-
rule action. In a letter to his members dated Sept. 12, OECTA president Kevin O’Dwyer noted that as a result of the July 5 memorandum of understanding, “the school board cannot change the terms and conditions of your collective agreement. Your employer cannot lock you out. And you cannot
undertake job actions of any kind.” Two attempts were made by the EMC to contact Marg Merpaw, head of the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario for the Upper Canada District, on Sept. 17 and 18, but she was busy attending meetings in Perth and Kemptville.

on Wednesday, Sept. 12, the day after Bill 115 stripped them of their collective bargaining rights and right to strike (for a period of two years) passed Queen’s Park on Sept. 11. One thing Thomas’ teachers will be doing in the interim though as a visible demonstration of their displeasure over Bill 115 will be to wear black every Tuesday, on the weekly anniversary of the passing of the bill “as a sign of our displeasure” and also as a sign of mourning. “We’re mourning the loss of our right to strike; mourning the loss of our right to collective bargaining,” said Thomas. “These are fundamental rights,” he said, adding that the legislation will be subject to a court challenge. The bill passed thanks to Tim Hudak’s Progressive Conservatives teaming up with Dalton McGuinty’s minority Liberals to pass the bill over the objections of Andrea Horwath’s New Democratic Party. After the Ontario-wide teachers’ strike in the fall of 1997, there was talk amongst Tories at Queen’s Park of banning teachers strikes by deeming them to be an essential service, like police officers, but neither premiers Mike Harris or Ernie Eves followed through on the idea. Thomas said he was in a state of “disbelief” that it was a Liberal government – albeit with Tory support – that stripped them of their right to strike. “A lot of teachers feel bullied,” said Thomas. “We

Poverty report ranks Ontario last in Canada derek.dunn@metroland.com
EMC News – Ontario is dead last among provinces when it comes to funding social programs, a new report revealed. An Ontario-wide coalition of almost 100 groups and organizations, called Ontario Common Front, examines growing inequity. On Aug. 29 it released Falling Behind: Ontario’s backslide into widening inequity, growing poverty and cuts to social programs. Despite having among the world’s most highly educated workers, an abundance of natural resources, and an industrial base, the report shows that Ontario is falling behind the rest of Canada in terms of growing poverty, increasing inequity and flagging financial support for public services. It blames choices made by governments, not international economic trends, for the downward spiral. “Today,” the report reads, “600,000 Ontario families find their incomes stalled or falling behind, while the richest 10 per cent gallop away with the bounty from the sustained period of economic growth stretching from the mid-1900s to 2008.” The report found that: • 40 per cent of Ontarians, 600,000 families, are struggling with incomes that are stagnant or declining; • Ontario funds all of its social programs, including health care to education, at the lowest rate in Canada; • While poverty rates fell in five provinces, Ontario had the second highest increase in poverty rates and intensity, leaving 393,000 children in poverty (one in seven); • Ontarians pay the highest school fees, out-of-pocket health care fees and tuition fees in the country while leading the nation in cuts to corporate and income taxes. It blames both the Liberal and Progressive Conservative governments for prioritizing tax cuts for the wealthy over equality-creating public programs. The report tracks the decline with examples such as: the average CEO takes home 250 times the income of the average Canadian, while a generation ago that ratio was 25 times the average. Morgan Goddard is the NDP riding association presi-
dent for Carleton-Mississippi Mills. He said there is little difference between the Liberals and PCs when it comes to spending priorities. Both believe in the myth of “austerity” meant to convince the middle and working classes to give up more just as the wealthiest take even more. “Austerity measures are not working; it’s causing greater poverty, and that’s just not right,” Goddard said. “It’s always easy to blame the poor.” He noted that Kanata is one of the wealthiest areas of the country. But even there personal debt is piling up and two-income families are no further ahead than the one income families of the 1960s and 1970s. Goddard said the reality of trickledown economics – introduced by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan during the early 1980s - is that kids get neglected because parents are working longer hours, communities suffer because fewer people can volunteer their time, and ecological and
financial debt is loaded onto future generations. In West Carleton, where Goddard lives, poverty can be masked somewhat. But the reality is many people are couch surfing and using the emergency food cupboard like never before. He said the solution is to shift the burden away from the working and middle class to restoring a balance with the wealthiest. Increasing the income tax rate by one per cent of those making over $500,000 per year – about 30,000 people in Ontario – would “cover everything missing on social spending,” he added. However, Goddard admits there are plenty of catchy slogans and false arguments that convince poor people they deserve to be poor. There is the “rich people have earned their wealth” argument which often isn’t true because of inheritance laws. There is the “rich people create jobs” argument which isn’t borne out by statistics showing most jobs are created by small and medium
sized businesses. There is the “government can’t do anything right” argument which blames civil servants rather than politicians who serve power elites instead of the majority of voters. “Mostly it’s that people are willing to believe what is convenient. If they don’t want to give money to the poor, it can be as simple as greed,” he said. “I think that’s a false self-interest.” Ontario Health Coalition director Natalie Mehra, primary author of the report, said the province is on a five-year plan to cut public sector jobs and services that will worsen the situation for everyone. She said Ontario residents are paying for the current shortfall in “hundreds of ways,” from the highest tuition and school fees, the highest proportion of out-of-pocket health care costs, a burgeoning array of user fees, and thousands of families wait years for support for children with disabilities.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Government’s actions leaves teachers in tough spot DEAR EDITOR: With summer almost over and the beginning of another school year already here, teachers are being targeted by the provincial government as part of the cure for the deficit. Pending legislation to freeze contracts has bred suspicion and even more distrust of the real intentions of Premier Dalton McGuinty. In recent years, this premier has made a point of promoting the value of early childhood education, has instituted full-day schooling for junior and senior kindergarten age children and has courted the support of teachers’ unions. This time, with Education Minister Lauren Broten as the spokesperson, he has raised the ire of teachers’ unions and teachers, too. Contracts are negotiated with the school boards but, this time, the school boards were ignored. Fighting words, such as strike, lockout, and back-to-work legislation are not conducive to a good working atmosphere. If this issue ends up in the Supreme Court, the government could be found in breach of its own Labour Relations Act. Teachers are a favourite focus of criticism by many facets of
the population. Haven’t you heard? The reason we are teachers is because of the big salary, the two months summer holiday, the Christmas and Easter holidays as well as PA days. Lack of information often results in misconceptions. That is the case as it relates to those of us who have given many years teaching and learning with children. From an early age I knew I wanted to be a teacher. I didn’t know there was pay involved; I wanted to go to school seven days a week, all year. Maybe I was ahead of my time! My experience has been that those who choose to teach, do so because they enjoy working with children. The few, who take up the profession mainly for the pay, do not stay. Teachers must be able to deal with crises quickly and professionally, exhibit good judgment in a wide range of situations, respond with empathy to concerns expressed by children and adults, all while delivering the prescribed programs of learning laid out by the province and testing the results for publication in the media. See LETTER page 10
EMC Editorial – So here we go again. Very rich professional hockey players locked in a staredown with even richer professional hockey team owners in an ‘effort’ to reach a collective bargaining agreement. The result – a familiar one for National Hockey League fans – a lockout of the players that kicked in at midnight last Saturday. Seven years ago, an entire season and playoffs was wiped out before a deal – which included the introduction a new salary cap that was to resolve what was supposedly ailing the NHL at the time – was reached. Since that time, the NHL brand has grown steadily across Canada and the United States. The league has a ‘real’ television deal with NBC that actually pays big money, Canada has a seventh franchise back in Winnipeg and overall league revenues continue to grow year after year. So how can there be a problem? The challenge is how to divvy up that embarrassment of riches. The players’ union and ownership differ greatly over which side should get how much of the pie. While some negotiation has taken place, resulting in slightly altered initial offers, the two sides still seem wide apart (although why they can’t stop posturing and simply meet in the middle is beyond most rational minds). Most of the experts don’t expect a year-long lockout this time around. But it’s clear months will pass before any ‘i’s’ are dotted or ‘t’s’ crossed with many players already jumping ship to sign with other leagues in Europe in order to stay sharp. Of course the news isn’t all bad for Canadian hockey fans. Those of us who live in communities where junior hockey resides could care less, really. In Smiths Falls and Carleton Place, both of their Jr. A franchises are off to strong starts to their respective CCHL seasons. And the Kemptville 73’s are looking to build off an eyepopping pre-season. There’s also no shortage of entertaining Jr. B action with perennial championship contenders Westport along with Valley Division rivals Perth and Almonte all set to do battle. And if that’s still not enough, there are the myriad of minor hockey teams to enjoy. Both the minor hockey and girls hockey associations are just about in full swing already. The local rinks will be jammed with action throughout the week and all weekend long. And unlike the jacked-up costs of tickets one faces at NHL rinks, this price is definitely right.
Prayers get family through Dirty Thirties EMC Lifestyle - We learned to pray at a very early age. Mother was a firm believer in prayer. Father, not so much. Oh, he was a believer in God, but he often wondered why, when we were doing all the right things we were still poor as church mice. Why we lost several cows when lightning hit the big maple tree on the West hill under which the cows were seeking refuge in a storm, was another question he asked. So other than Grace at the table at meal time, Father pretty well left the praying up to Mother. Although Mother was raised a Catholic, she became a Lutheran when she married Father. Nevertheless, when she felt she needed a special prayer answered, she wasn’t above resorting to her Rosary beads. But she always made it clear to us five children, it wasn’t a case of what you used when praying, it was

how often, and how fervently you did so. So every night before we went to bed, we were marched upstairs to what Emerson irreverently called “the scrunch corner”. That was because we all had to scrunch down around Mother’s knee when she settled into the old rocking chair that sat under the window in the corner of the room. It was in my sister Audrey’s and my bedroom, which was really the upstairs hall, and the corner we prayed in, was hardly big enough to hold all of us. I always tried to get in the middle, because then I could rest my head on Mother’s knee, but Emerson
usually beat me to it. Mother would wait until we had all settled down around her knee, our eyes were closed and our hands were in steeples, then she would begin. Her first prayers were ones we said every night. Exactly the same, word for word. And I wondered back then, if God got bored listening to the same prayers over and over again. When those prayers were finished, we then said special prayers for everything from rain, to good crops, to a bountiful vegetable garden and a good day of selling door to door in Renfrew. Mother never forgot the old woman who lived alone in Renfrew, Granny Hines on the next farm, and the minister’s wife, who Mother thought was a saint! They were all part of our nightly prayers. Of course, we were expected to come up with our own prayers when all the group praying was over. That idea

came to a great and glorious end when Emerson prayed that something evil would befall his very worse enemy at the Northcote School. Mother said, what we would do instead was pray silently to ourselves. I asked her how God would hear us if we didn’t say the prayers out loud. Mother assured me, He would be well aware of my silent prayers. And so began a lifetime of silent praying. Our Lutheran minister certainly didn’t believe in silent prayers I thought back then. In fact, his prayers were so loud, at the time I figured they could hear them in the United Church a stone’s throw away. And I wondered if your prayers had an advantage if you took on the pained look that came across our minister’s face whenever he opened his mouth. I asked my older and much wise sister Audrey if she thought he had sore feet, because not only did he have

a pained look on his face, he had the habit of rocking from one foot to the other. To be honest, I was so intrigued with the minister when he was praying that I couldn’t take my eyes off him, when, in fact, I was supposed to be sitting in the pew ram-rod straight, in deep concentration. Audrey said it had nothing to do with sore feet. It had to do with the sincerity of the message. I had no idea what my sister was getting at, so I just had to sit there, Sunday after Sunday, with my own thoughts. Then it occurred to me that maybe there was something to this silent prayer business. After all, if a whole lot of people were doing it at the same time, that alone should have an impact and greatly impress God. And so praying silently became part of my life. I’m afraid I wasn’t very good at it to start. I was praying for things that I had seen in the

Five and Dime Store window in Renfrew, and even prayed one time that bad Marguirite would move to another country. When none of these things came about, I decided I had to change what I was praying for. We also prayed every morning at the Northcote School. Right after Miss Crosby read a verse from the bible, she said the Lord’s Prayer, and we repeated it after her. One day I realized we did a lot of praying out there in Northcote... there were the Graces at every meal, morning prayers at the Northcote School, our nightly prayers around Mother’s knee at night, and the silent prayers each of us were encouraged to offer. I thought back then, with the Depression closed in around us like a tight vice, and every day a struggle for survival, the prayers, in whatever form they were given, were what really got us through the Dirty Thirties.

A LOSING MOVE Feeling lucky? If you said no, you’re probably following the Ontario government’s plan to move slot machines out of racetracks by March 31, 2013. Taxpayers in Ontario benefit from nearly $1 billion a year sent to essential services from the slots. Since they’ve been in place, the OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway alone have generated $643 million for the provincial government that is specifically earmarked for health care in the province. The government is hoping this good fortune gets even better by taking the show downtown. This is more than a bad break for the people of Ottawa— it’s bad business.
OLG’s 2010 Net Profit 11% 49% 40%
The slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway produce $70 million annually for Ontario taxpayers. By contrast, despite being only 2.5 km from downtown Ottawa, the slots and gaming tables at Casino Lac-Leamy earned a net profit of $5 million less than that in 2011. The costs of doing business downtown are significantly higher and make profit return harder to manage. The large Casino Lac-Leamy has 400 more slot machines. Everyone in Ontario has an interest in seeing these earnings from the Rideau Carleton Raceway slots upheld.
fundraisers and entertainment shows that have been thriving over the past 12 years.
Since slot machines were introduced to the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 2000, they have generated $52 million for the City of Ottawa. Council has said this revenue helps keep property taxes lower for all residents. The venue is also an ideal location for the fairs,
These numbers are possible because the Rideau Carleton Raceway site is easily accessible at the south end of Ottawa, and it has low operating costs and 2500 free parking spaces. In return, more money flows back to the city and Ontario taxpayers.
From slots at racetracks From lotteries and bingos From casinos
The people of Ottawa are smart spenders and need to speak up. They resent paying for parking. They like quality food at affordable prices. Above all, they hate seeing their tax dollars lost on bad investments. Send your concerns to your City Councillor today!

REAL prepares to launch new service – regional Take It Back Directory
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Caught between a rock and a hard place From page 8
The school day hours are determined by The Education Act, as are the number of teaching days and holiday times in each calendar year. Teachers have no input into any of these, yet are unfairly criticized for them. The teaching profession is open to all who wish to work hard, study for long hours, endure criticism and be in the public eye. The teaching profession is also open to those who love children and who delight in fostering young people’s creativity and curiosity. There is great satisfaction in seeing children discover and gain understanding of a new concept. If these characteristics match your own, then I encourage you to pursue the career. Please don’t resent my choice. After almost 35 years in a classroom, it was time to retire from the profession I loved, teaching. For the past 16 years I have been a spectator of what goes on in education, and I still find myself defending both the perceived hours of work as well as the legally negotiated pay. My summer holidays were spent at university courses; evenings and
weekends were used for planning, preparing and correcting assignments. Parent interviews, writing report cards, meetings with school psychologists and health officials were accommodated on their terms, not mine. At the end of June I was ready for a change; as September rolled around, I was anxious to get back. The students I had are still ‘my kids’ and I am proud to be able to call many of them by name, even after long years of absence. Many of them have chosen the teaching profession and are working in farflung parts of the world. I believe that some small part of myself is there with them. The recent actions of Premier Dalton McGuinty and his Education Minister will taint the atmosphere for the new school year but I believe that teachers will continue to be professional, will continue to show compassion and empathy to their students and, at the end of the day, will know they did their best, in spite of the Ontario government’s efforts to show otherwise.

OHL exhibition game brings many to town DEAR EDITOR: Sincere congratulations to Rick St. Dennis, Gary Bisonette, Margo Loughren, the rink staff and volunteers for their exceptional organization of the Friday night exhibition game between the Ottawa 67s and the Gatineau Olympiques. This game was an excellent opportunity to profile our Memorial Community Centre and to bring to Smiths Falls a high level of competitive hockey for the fans, and a boost for our fundraising. One of the highlights of this night was the game between the Smiths Falls Cubs and Ottawa. Another highlight was the Smiths Falls House League girls competing against one another. Most entertaining! The fan turnout was exceptional, showing again that we are “Sensational Smiths Falls”. Yours in hockey, Glen “Redman” Blair
EMC Lifestyle - “Where can I take this?” That’s one of the most common questions posed at the REAL Deal Reuse Store. Conscientious people, who want to ensure that their waste item is reused, recycled or properly disposed of, regularly bring in items REAL can’t take, but they want to provide them with answers. There has been a rather quiet revolution in Ontario in how we handle much of our waste. Rather than all waste going to a municipality, some waste is now going directly back to retailers, manufacturers and to
other organizations. This is called producer responsibility and means the producer bears the cost of reusing, recycling or disposing of the waste, instead of the taxpayer. Ideally, it will mean that the producer uses their creativity to figure out how to manufacture products that are easy to reuse or recycle, closing the loop on waste. REAL has been working to bring together all the available information on local retailers and other organizations that take back such waste, and to provide an easy to access
online directory for people to use. REAL has had the support of the municipalities of North Grenville, Smiths Falls, Perth, and Mississippi Mills to do this. And, the long-term partnership and support of iWasteNot in providing their online Recyclopedia system. REAL is close to formally launching the system, and invite people to start to use it, and to provide feedback. The site can be accessed two ways: go to www.REALaction.ca, under the WASTE tab, click on Take it Back Recyclopedia or go directly to
Recyclopedia www.recyclopedia.net. Choose your community, then choose the item you want to dispose. You will find listings of retailers and non-profit organizations that take those items in the communities in which you shop, making it easy for you to take the item back. The number and variety of items that you can now take back is impressive. Because of the support from the four particular municipalities, the focus is on those communities. Encourage your municipality to get involved.
Keeping one’s cool key when raising complaint EMC News - It’s not surprising that people are emotional about their cars, trucks, SUVs and minivans. After all, automakers spend millions every year on advertising to show their products off as if they were catwalk models or exotic beasts or birds rather than mundane examples of personal transportation. We’re led to believe that if we buy or lease the right auto, we’ll be magically whisked to Edenesque locales, our children will love and respect us, and we’ll get the perfect mate: all in the first drive around the block. If you think these emotions subside after a few years of ownership of a set of wheels, you’d be dead wrong. Just imagine a new and much more powerful set of emotions which can erupt when a driver is suddenly faced with an unexpected bill to repair something he or she believed should have lasted longer, or been much cheaper to fix. I’ve had the opportunity to see the best and worst of both consumers and retailers. I’m happy and proud to say that the overwhelming majority of daily automotive interactions
Car Counselor BRIAN TURNER
have been positive examples of what’s right with the auto industry but there have been a few examples of things gone terribly wrong. I recently received a letter from a consumer with a major case of ‘buyer’s regret’ over a used vehicle with various mechanical and electrical concerns purchased from an area retailer. In this missive, our used car owner referred to the store owner as almost everything but the kitchen sink and most of those terms can’t be used in polite society or on these pages. I’ve always been a fan of the idea that before you put anything in writing in anger; wait a day before mailing it. The speed and ease of email dispatching makes this very crucial. Once it’s in writing and out there, there’s precious little you can do to retract it and in some cases it can lead
to legal claims of libel. I’m very understanding about verbal comments delivered in anger at a service counter. Today’s vehicles can be very complex and difficult to understand, even by automotive professionals. It’s no wonder consumers get frustrated and sometimes take their frustrations out on service consultants or managers. Fortunately when most good service people take their jobs, they grow a very thick skin. But in an attempt to provide some guidance, here are a few words to the wise. When you’re faced with a concern regarding any issue at any retailer, try to keep your cool. Raising your voice and blood pressure does nothing for the situation, not to mention your health. It’s helpful in times like these to either deal with another person (preferably the dept. manager) or relax for a few minutes in a quiet area away from the traffic of a busy shop’s counter. Good service consultants are very adept at diffusing anger and helping a customer understand the situation and by offering various options to
minimize expense and inconvenience. But even the best of them draw the line at personal verbal attacks. When you direct negative comments of a personal nature, you’re almost certain to close the door on any resolution you may have been looking for. When dealing with a manufacturer’s dealership, make sure your complaint gets all the way up to the top of the ownership chain before calling the automaker’s consumer hotline. Like everyone else nothing gets a department manager or dealership owner’s back up than when someone goes over their head. And involving a third party prematurely does nothing to speed things up, so if you’re looking for a speedy resolution, try to keep things simple. Finally, sometimes we just get so involved in a problem that we can’t see the forest for the trees or separate our logical and emotional sides long enough to get things cleared up. In rare cases like these, it may be best to get a family member or partner to represent you and remove yourself from the quagmire.

Local leaders lend support to LGBT Lanark County anti-bullying campaign rcoyne@perfprint.ca
EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Community leaders from across Lanark County are lending their faces and voices in support of LGBT Lanark Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest anti-bullying initiative. A total of 14 full-colour posters have been produced, each of them portraying one or two of the well-known individuals, along with a quote from them supporting a more inclusive and accepting community. The campaign kicked off last Tuesday, Sept. 11 with a public unveiling hosted by the Gay Straight Alliance in the foyer of Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute (SFDCI). Elizabeth Snyder of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) Lanark County explained to the crowd how the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Enough Is Enough!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; movement was sparked following the death by suicide of Jamie Hubley, a Kanata teen who had been bullied for being gay. Since its launch last year, more than 1,200 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Enough Is Enough!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Rainbow bracelets have been distributed across the region, a positive sign of a supportive community that opposes all forms of bullying. The posters will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;giftedâ&#x20AC;? to all schools in the county, powerful messages from people of influence, Snyder said. A press release from the LGBT group explains how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped the â&#x20AC;&#x153;positive messages of support from recognizable pillars of the community will give our youth a moment of reassurance â&#x20AC;Ś perhaps an incentive to be part of this positive shift or maybe just enough encouragement to hold their
heads up a little higher.â&#x20AC;? Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples, one of the poster subjects, came forward to pledge to do all he can to eliminate bullying from schools and the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to say how pleased I was to be invited by Elizabeth to be part of this,â&#x20AC;? he said. Gord Cooke, principal at SFDCI, who posed alongside vice-principal Nancy Keech in another poster, said he had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;selfishâ&#x20AC;? reason for wanting to participate: to help ensure a safe and welcoming environment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the principal of a school and my job here is to help people learn. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel safe,â&#x20AC;? he said. Others who have come forward as poster subjects are: â&#x20AC;˘ John Fenik, Mayor, Perth, â&#x20AC;˘ Peter McLaren, Mayor, Lanark, â&#x20AC;˘ Wendy LeBlanc Mayor, Carleton Place, â&#x20AC;˘ David Murphy, Constable, Smiths Falls Police Service, â&#x20AC;˘ Brent McLaren, Town Crier, Perth, â&#x20AC;˘ Laurie McCabe, Principal, Almonte & District High School, â&#x20AC;˘ Peter McKenna/Maureen McIntyre, Exec.

Now posted on You Tube, it starts with photos of single students and staff holding signs with derogatory â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;words that hurtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; such as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stupidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Retardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Trashyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; written on them. It ends with those people holding a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Love Is Louderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sign between them with a message of support for those who feel persecuted. Champagne says she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more pleased with the level of support being shown throughout the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so emotional,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t express how happy I am to see these people coming out and supportingâ&#x20AC;? the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Enough Is Enough!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means the world to meâ&#x20AC;Śmy gratitude is never ending.â&#x20AC;?

As noted in the press release, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The time has come to stand strong together with all of our allies at our sides and to stare back into the face of bullying with both assertiveness and compassion â&#x20AC;Ś the time has come for LGBTQ youth in Lanark County to be able to live their lives, in their community without fear.â&#x20AC;?

Even as recently as six-months ago, she was unwilling to talk openly about it. “I was giving the disease (a) stigma myself. I didn’t like
it; I didn’t like what it was doing to my body,” she said. She credits her newlyfound CWY friends with helping her deal with her disease. Living and working in such close contact with them has made them like family to her, and out of necessity, she had to tell them.

“You have to find out what works for you,” she said. “(But) you want to try magical foods. I just try to use common sense.” Even a traveler not having to contend with Crohn’s and Colitis would have difficulty adjusting to food in a new country like Nicaragua where even under good conditions food sources and types of food can make for upset stomachs at the best of times. “My dietician will be working with me,” Wakelin said of her upcoming Latin American trip, adding she will be as cautious as she can be without starving. “I will be bringing my army of medications,” she said with a laugh, holding out a fistful of pills. Her disease also means that her chances of getting colon cancer are much higher than
for non-sufferers, and she already has ulcers in her large intestine. “All of the lovely symptoms you love to share with your friends,” she said, looking around at her friends sitting with her on the lawn under a shady tree in front of the church. Her friends have been extremely supportive, but she still has to contend with other issues on a daily, even hourly basis, like constantly asking the question – where is the nearest bathroom? When she was first diagnosed she had to go to the washroom up to 30 times a day, though she said it is not that bad now. “I do have to remember how lucky I am,” she said. “I’m functioning so I am happy with that.” Some sufferers would not even be able to travel abroad like she soon will. Another coping mechanism Wakelin uses is employing a sense of humour. The event is free to attend but Wakelin asks that if you are interested in attending that you register beforehand by emailing her at rjwakelin@ hotmail.com or by phone at 613-278-1226.

EMC News – Crohn’s and Colitis sufferers can share their story and their pain with fellow sufferers and their supporters on Sept. 22 in Perth. Rita Wakelin, 20, a Canada World Youth (CWY) student from Victoria, B.C., who will live in McDonalds Corners until she ships out on a humanitarian mission to Nicaragua later this month, along with her friends from the CWY group, will host a workshop on the disease at St. Paul’s United Church in Perth on Saturday, Sept. 22 from 1 to 4 p.m. While speakers are still being lined up for the event, Wakelin hopes that, if nothing else, it will be “a place where patients will be able to interact with each other to discuss their own experiences with the disease.” While her fellow CWY students have been conducting educational exercises and organizing guest speakers to talk to their group, mostly about issues like safe food preparation and food justice, Wakelin herself speaks from experience with the disease. “I’ve had it for three years and I just remember when I was sick, I never really… met anyone else who had Crohn’s and Colitis until this year. I never really had someone else to talk to,” she said. Back in Victoria, she met a young man, a musician,
“I told them right away because I love them,” she said. “I will let you know right now that I may lose control of my bowels,” she told them point blank when she revealed her condition to the group. “I didn’t think it was a big moment, but it was,” she said of standing up in front of her CWY peers and sharing something so personal. “I cried a bit afterwards. They care about me. It took a weight off of my chest.” Wakelin was diagnosed with the disease at age 17 while on a school trip to France. As a teenage girl, “I was already as self-conscious as you could be,” Wakelin said. “That was not a good time for me to have it… You feel like crap all the time. There is nothing you can do to cure it (but) you can control it.” One option is to remove a sufferer’s intestine, but that operation is done only if someone’s life is in danger. “What scares me is that I know that my (type of condition) is considered incredibly treatable,” Wakelin said. “I still don’t feel great. I have times of the day when I am in pain.” One of the many barriers

Women’s shelter calls for MP to vote ‘no’ on motion M-312 Interval House
EMC Lifestyle - On Jan. 28, 1988 the Supreme Court of Canada struck down all legal restrictions on abortion, making it a completely legal medical procedure in this country. Now, a Conservative MP from Kitchener Centre, Stephen Woodworth, would like to overturn the Supreme Court of Canada with Motion M-312. M-312 seeks to “establish a parliamentary committee to review the declaration in subsection 223(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada which states that a child becomes a human being only at the moment of complete birth.” As the recent referendum letter sent out to local residents by Conservative MP, Scott Reid indicates, “this motion will effectively reopen the abortion debate in Canada if it passes.” Many myths surrounding the abortion issue persist in clouding the facts. Myth: Legalized abortion leads to an increase in the number of abortions performed. Extensive research and data collection by the internationally respected World Health Organization (WHO) prove that regions with access to legal abortion in fact have a lower rate of abortions than regions where it is restricted or illegal. This is likely due to the increased education and support in those regions on birth control and reproductive education. Myth: Making abortions illegal or restricting access to abortion will lower the number of abortions performed. As the WHO global report, “Unsafe Abortion: Global and Regional Incidence, Trends, Consequences and Challenges” concludes, “Legal restrictions on safe abortion do not reduce the incidence of abortion.” Legal restrictions on abortion does not mean less abortions are performed, it only means more unsafe ones are. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine National Institute of Health, “Unsafe abortions account for
Interval House clarification EMC News - In last week’s EMC an article regarding Lanark County Interval House’s financial concerns was published that has created some confusion. The EMC encourages citizens interested in making a donation to the service to do so by making your cheque payable to Lanark County Interval House and mailing to: Lanark County Interval House P.O. Box 107 Carleton Place, ON K7C 3P3. To support the service in receiving consistent funding support from the government, please mail your letters to MPP Randy Hillier at: 105 Dufferin Street, Unit 1, Perth, ON, K7H 3A5.
more than 70,000 maternal deaths per year and a further 5 million women to suffer temporary or permanent disability.” If Stephen Woodward has his way, Canada would add to those appalling numbers.
Myth: Motion 312 will only impact when abortions can be performed. Given the sensitive nature of this particular section of the Criminal Code of Canada, the impact of changing it is substantial. If passed, this motion would allow for the possibility that any and all miscarriages be subject to criminal investigations as manslaughter, any pregnant woman could be refused certain medical treatments and prescription medications, in addition, some fertility treatments, including in-vitro fertilization could become il-
legal. Myth: Legalized abortion creates a moral climate in which terminating a pregnancy is an easy decision. The complexities and potential turmoil involved in making the decision to end a pregnancy remain with the individual woman making the decision, regardless of the wording of the law. A woman is no more or less likely to need an abortion, she is only more or less likely to be injured or killed depending on the law. Ultimately legal abortion equates to more safety while restricted and/or illegal abortion equates to more risk. Myth: At issue is the question of when human life be-
gins. Motion 312 is a political strategy deliberately designed to deflect attention away from the real crux of the abortion issue; women’s rights. As Joyce Arthur, Executive Director of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada states in a recent press release, “Granting personhood to the fetus means removing personhood from the woman.” After a long, hard-fought battle begun by the “Famous Five”, Canadian women have been “Persons” under the law since Oct. 18 1929. Passing M-312 would diminish the rights of Canadian women to a degree not experienced since before WWII. Violating women’s rights is not only
harmful to girls and women, it also negatively impacts all aspects of society from economic outcomes to health outcomes. MP Scot Reid has called upon his constituents to direct him how to vote on this issue and it is critical that he hears a resounding “NO” to M-312. If you haven’t already done so, it is vitally important that you fill in your referendum ballot and mail it back as soon as possible. If you did not receive your referendum ballot please contact Phil Joannou, Communications Assistant to Scott Reid at 613-947-2277. The vote will take place in the House of Commons on Sept. 26 and Reid needs your input before then. Women across Canada need your support before then. Lanark County Interval
House provides extensive support for children, youth and women who experience abuse and can refer men to the appropriate resources. All the services are free and confidential and you do not need to be a resident of the shelter to access the services.

Health Wellness Centre of Excellence breaks ground By DOREEN BARNES
EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Construction is expected to start immediately,â&#x20AC;? said executive director of Community and Primary Health Care (CPHC) Ruth Kitson on Thursday, Aug. 23 for the new Community and Primary Health and Wellness Centre of Excellence. Located east of the Brockville Police Services, near the railway tracks and south of Parkedale Avenue, this stateof-the-art facility will house all current services offered at the CPHCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other locations. The price tag for the building is $9,597,010 with the federal government contributing $3 million and the provincial government giving $3,697,010, leaving $2.9 million to be raised by the community. Along with about 100 individuals who gathered for this monumental occasion were several dignitaries, including Leeds Grenville MP Gord Brown, MPP Steve Clark, Brockville Mayor David Henderson, along with other area political figures. Senator Bob Runciman was unable to attend due to other commitments. He has supported this venture from
the very beginning. As the speeches flowed, chair of the CPHC and the Community Family Health Team Jim Garrah read a letter from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, Health Minister Deb Matthews. An excerpt reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This new, accessible facility will mean patients and clients can conveniently access a range of health care and social service providers and programs when and where they need them. This is a wonderful example of providing the right care, at the right time, in the right place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a key goal of Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Action Plan for Health Care.â&#x20AC;? Garrah also added his own comments in recognizing the dream that Kitson had several years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I should say â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;thank you very muchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to somebody who had a vision a number of years ago, Ruth Kitson,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people have a vision, a lot of times it does not come to fruition. This is a person who had a vision, worked like the energizer bunny and here we are starting the Centre of Excellence. So thank you Ruth.â&#x20AC;? As CPHC chair John Conley indicated that although
the planning was arduous, he believes that this project will continue to gain momentum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a milestone in our CPHC history and it has been a long time to come to this stage,â&#x20AC;? said Conley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember back to a number of years when we would take one step ahead, then go back a couple, but I think we are on solid footing now to start this new facility to serve the whole community of Leeds, Grenville and Lanark.â&#x20AC;? Conley continued to thank honoured guests who helped with some financing through the government levels. Phases There are three phases to this project with phase one and two starting right way with hopes of opening the Community and Primary Health and Wellness Centre of Excellence in the summer 2013. Phase one includes all the services currently at three sites in Brockville with access to primary health through doctors, nurses practitioners, registered nurses, social workers, dietitians, as well as clinics such as arthritic (physiotherapists), congestive heart failure

Phase two takes in CPHC Community Support Services like Dinersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Clubs, Meals on Wheels, Adult Day, etc., plus Caregiver Support Centre, Lifeline (including Kingston), Outdoor Wellness Park, Heart Wise Seniors Exercise Program, Diabetes Centre and the conference/meeting rooms and other complimentary agencies/services. As for phase three, the Guest Centre and Senior Housing, this effort will depend on funding as to when the beginning and finish will be. Development Manager â&#x20AC;&#x153;For someone who has been involved with lots of health care efforts itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring to see the emotion that is behind this group and where this is at,â&#x20AC;? said Graham Bird, President Graham Bird Associates. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Bird went on to point out that the public would soon see the contractor setting up camp
with trailer, hydro and generators to start digging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Permits are being finalized with the city,â&#x20AC;? said Bird. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The funding is in place, designs completed, engineers are smiling, architects are smiling, so by Christmas our goal is to have the top on the building, windows in and the foundation poured so everyone will be warm to work on the interior.â&#x20AC;? During the winter months the interior will be constructed which will include the doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offices, examination room, reception areas and other rooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be working with the facility teams to make sure the telephones and emails are ready to go somewhere in May,â&#x20AC;? added Bird. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By June we will start pulling people out of their places, one by one. By this time next summer it will be ready.â&#x20AC;? According to Bird, the facility will be environmentally friendly with a high efficiency energy system, recycled materials where appropriate and advanced roof products.
Fundraising The campaign volunteer fundraiser team will be hitting the floor running with Bruce Wylie at the helm and a team of influential individuals. The team is comprised of Sandra Lawn, Ben TeKamp, Judith Caldwell, Deanna Clark and Susan Marjerrison, (absent from event). â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you talk about raising $2.9 million, we obviously have to talk to some friends, we are certainly going to do that,â&#x20AC;? said Wylie, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but the first thing that was important to the fundraising committee is that we create the need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ruth talked about the needs and that all sites are coming into one site which is so very important and the community needs to know what the Community and Primary Health Care is. We have a job to do which starts on Monday.â&#x20AC;? Wylie wants to ensure that the public knows what the Community and Primary Health Care is and does, before any team members start knocking on doors.

Launching this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream House Lottery was CJOHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news co - anchor Graham Richardson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate the television in the shower,â&#x20AC;? he joked to a packed room at the dream house. Richardson said that there were so many touching stories at CHEO and that we are so lucky. He reminded the people at the launch that the as nice as the lottery prizes were, supporting CHEO was what the event was all about. Alex Munter, president and CEO of CHEO, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The CHEO Foundation really is the embodiment of the support and passion that this community has for its childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been the CEO for almost a year now and one of the most impactful experienc-
es for me and it happens all the time is to be out in the community and be approached by people who talk to me about the impact that CHEO has had on them and their families,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hear those stories from parents and their kids. I also hear those stories from adults about themselves 10-20 and 35 years ago. It is a reminder of what CHEO is all about. The premise and promise of CHEO is the future,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the last 30-40 years our survival rate for cancer has gone to over 80 per cent,â&#x20AC;? explained Munter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Terry Fox started his marathon, most kids struck by cancer would sadly die. Today over 80 per cent will survive. We are working towards 100 per cent. That high survival rate of 80 per cent is because of research that has happened at CHEO and other hospitals like CHEO,â&#x20AC;? he said. He explained that without the support of communities and donors much of the exciting steps against cancer may not have taken place. Also at the lottery launching was the Trinh-Derry family representing all those families and children who have benefited from their experiences at CHEO. Emma Trinh when born was found to have low levels of hemoglobin. The hemoglobin carries oxygen. Emmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s levels were going down and not improving. Twelve days after being born, CHEO staff was giving Emma blood transfusions. Emma condition is extremely rare. Her father Sang said that if the doctors had not discovered the problem as quickly as they did they would have lost her. Having a child with a condition such has Emmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a nightmare. The prognosis for Emma is good these days but
doctors are careful not to take her condition lightly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole family got a ton of support,â&#x20AC;? remembers Sang. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found the doctors and nurses took the time to explain everything,â&#x20AC;? he said. Only 63,000 tickets will be sold and because the lottery has sold out in previous years, organizers are encouraging everyone to purchase early to make sure they have a chance at winning. Single tickets are $100 each or three for $250.

Future of Ontario’s horse-racing industry on rocky ground By LORRAINE PAYETTE
EMC News - The Steacy Stables in Lansdowne provided a fitting backdrop last week as Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark and Ontario PC Economic Development and Innovation Critic MPP Monte McNaughton addressed the McGuinty government’s decision to end the successful slots-at-racetracks agreement. Mark Steacy, owner of the establishment, is not pleased with the decision, and was more than ready to share his thoughts with the public. “The slots wouldn’t have been put in in the first place if it wasn’t for the agreement we came to in about 1998 (concerning slots at the racetracks),” said Steacy. “We made some mistakes in the racing world. In the contract back then we should have said that track owners should do more, they should put more back in, they should have renovated their facilities more and created much more advertising than we did.” When asked about money going to American drivers and leaving Canada, he said it isn’t necessarily true. Although
prize money does go to Americans who win, it has to be remembered that Canadians can also go south to race and bring back American purses. Foreign drivers and owners are not really much different from tourists – they use hotels and restaurants, shop in local stores, attend theatre and other local events. He strongly believes that they bring much more money into the area than they take away, and that they spread the wealth along to everyone in the community through use of services. “They come up and buy our horses,” he said. “In order to win things like the Ontario Sires Stakes, they have to have horses bred in Ontario. And they’re going there, they’re following the rules, and we all benefit. We go south, they come north, a lot of money goes both ways.” The biggest fear is the loss of jobs which can come from the removal of the slots. More than 1,100 jobs are threatened at Ontario stables, and upwards on 60,000 jobs province-wide in all aspects of the racing industry.
Beginning of the end “Today we heard from Mark Steacy that the decision by the McGuinty government to end the successful slots-at-racetracks agreement has marked the beginning of the end for Ontario ’s horse-racing industry and with it over 60,000 jobs directly and indirectly,” said MPP Monte McNaughton, Ontario PC Economic Development and Innovation Critic. “Previously, under the slots-at-racetracks program, Ontario’s horse racing industry thrived and has moved to the front of the pack. This success has resulted in over $1.1 billion in slots revenues being returned to the province last year alone. The Liberals are killing a vibrant industry and are putting 60,000 men and women across Ontario out of work.” “This unilateral decision by the McGuinty government is devastating to the Steacys and the hundreds of jobs their operation supports directly and indirectly,” said Clark. “Had McGuinty bothered to talk to rural Ontario about this issue, he’d know how many jobs are at stake. Instead, this
is another example of this arrogant and out-of-touch government simply turning its back on rural Ontarians.” Documents released recently by the Ontario PCs revealed that the government had made up its mind to put the horse-racing industry on the chopping block before it had even received an economic analysis. The MPPs also referred several times to a report handed to the Liberals by the Horse Racing Industry Transitional Panel concerning the issue, but which has been kept hidden and secret without the other parties being allowed to see it or know what’s in it. They want to know what is in the report, is it really so damning that an entire industry needs to be threatened? “The transitional panel’s interim report regarding the future of horse racing in Ontario was presented to the Minister of Agriculture last Friday,” said McNaughton. “To date, we have heard nothing about the report or its contents. Thousands of jobs are at risk. The report must be made available to the public immediately.
As they hear from their constituents who will lose their livelihoods, the MPPs stressed that even the Liberal government’s own members are starting to break ranks on ending the slots-at-racetracks agreement as they hear from their many constituents who will lose their livelihoods should this occur. Jeff Leal, the Liberal MPP for Peterborough, has proposed that the province “keep slot facilities at eight to 10 horseracing tracks … or allow gambling facilities to relocate but still give the tracks a share of the slot machine revenue as a way of maintaining the horse racing industry.” “There is growing dissension in the Liberal caucus on this issue,” said McNaughton. “Seven Liberal MPPs have publicly opposed the McGuinty government’s decision to end the slots-at-racetracks agreement. Leal’s recommendations are a public acknowledgement of how damaging this decision will be to the horseracing industry and Ontario’s economy.” “Monte has been our caucus lead on this issue and has
toured racetracks and stables across Ontario to hear directly from the 60,000 people the horse racing industry employs directly and indirectly,” said Clark. “I’d estimate more than 1,000 of those people work here in Leeds-Grenville because of operations like those run by the Steacy family here in Lansdowne. “I held a pre-budget consultation in Gananoque just a day or two after the government first indicated it was ending the slots-at-racetracks agreement. And Mark was there, probably one of the first horsemen in the province to start sounding the alarm bells about how devastating this decision would be to rural Ontario. He followed up his presentation that day with a letter that detailed how this one operation and its 12 employees generate upwards of $1 million in economic activity every year. “In a province where 600,000 people are looking for work, it’s unconscionable that the McGuinty government would unilaterally drive a stake into such a successful part of the rural economy.”
MPP praises motion calling for review cancellation of racetrack slots bring in the Auditor to finally get the answers the government has refused to provide.” During the debate Thursday, Clark pointed out a refer-
endum was held prior to Casino 1000 Islands coming to Gananoque and Leeds and the Thousand Islands Township. “I believe strongly that
any municipality that wants to host a casino in the future
must ensure its citizens have the same opportunity to make
their feelings known through a referendum,” said Clark.

EMC News - Leeds-Grenville MPP Steve Clark welcomed the passage of a motion in the Ontario Legislature on Thursday, Aug. 30 asking the Auditor General to review the gaming and casino plans of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. (OLG). According to a press release, the review will include the government’s decision to scrap the Slots at Racetracks program and the 60,000 jobs the industry supports across the province, including 1,000 or more in Leeds-Grenville. The private member’s motion, introduced by NepeanCarleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, also asked the Legislature to reconfirm that a referendum must take place before any new casino is built in a municipality. “I’m pleased MPPs from all parties supported this resolution,” said Clark, who spoke during the debate about the potentially negative impact of OLG’s plans on the economy in Leeds-Grenville. “We have 1,000 jobs or more at stake in the horse-racing industry and 400 full-time jobs at Casino 1000 Islands,” Clark noted in the release. “This review by the Auditor will ensure the government’s plan gives the people of Ontario value for money and that all the facts are known before OLG and the government head down this path.” “The McGuinty government announced its plans to cancel the Slots at Racetracks agreement without consulting an industry that generates $2 billion of economic activity and supports some 60,000 jobs in Ontario – most of it in rural parts of this province,” explained Clark. “Now, we’ll

Blues on the Rideau returns to Westport EMC Entertainment - The popular Acoustic Blues Sunday Summer Series just ended at The Cove Inn in Westport with a fabulous performance by Juno Award nominee Treasa Levasseur. Now it’s time to look forward to another great season of Blues on the Rideau at The Cove. Celebrating its eighth year BOTR has become one of the premiere Blues Series in the country. The combination of a delicious buffet dinner and dancing to some of Canada’s best blues bands in the friendly, intimate setting of The Cove has proven to be a real winner. Proceeds from every show go to support different local charities. A total of $38,000 has been raised since the series started and another $7,000 is expected this year. It’s another great line-up for 2012/13 – a combination of the most popular acts who’ve played the series previously and some exciting new talent. The 2012/13 season starts Oct. 26 and will continue once a month until May (excluding December). There will be a total of 11 shows this year – 2 two-night stands (Friday & Saturday) and three singles (Friday only). Most occur on the third weekend of the month. Times are the same for all shows – 7 to 11 p.m. Despite increased costs the ticket price will remain the same as last year - $60 which includes a full course buffet dinner, dancing and a donation to the charity. October 26 – Terry Gillespie Band From Vankleek Hill, Ont., a very talented singer/songwriter/guitarist Terry learned the Blues growing up in Detroit watching greats like Howlin’ Wolf, Buddy Guy and John Lee Hooker per-
form. He moved to Ottawa in 1968 and helped establish the blues scene there with his great band “Heaven’s Radio”. His hot trio now consists of him on guitar and vocals with Wayne Stoute on drums and Lyndell Montgomery on bass - they were semi-finalists at the 2012 Memphis International Blues Challenge. Keyboardist Peter Measroch will join them for this show. Proceeds will go to the Lucy Drysdale Memorial Scholarship Fund. November 16 & 17 - Fathead From Toronto, Fathead has been one of Canada’s best loved blues bands for over 20 years led by harmonica/sax player/singer Al Lerman and the great John Mays on lead vocals with Teddy Leonard on guitar, Omar Tunnoch on bass, and Bucky Berger on drums. This band has won two Juno Awards & multiple Maple Blues Awards over its career and every player has won, or been nominated for, a Maple Blues Award in their instrument category at least once. Great blues R&B, funk and soul. Proceeds from these shows will go to the Friends of Foley Mountain and the Westport Food Bank. January 18 – Conor Gains Band From Cambridge, Ont., an incredible young guitarist/ singer/songwriter (only 19 years old!) with a very tight band who has already played prestigious events like the Montreal International Festival de Jazz and the International Blues Challenge in Memphis to standing ovations. He has a great new album out full of original songs. A rising young star on the Canadian Blues scene. It’s his first visit
to BOTR at The Cove. Proceeds to the Rideau Waterway Land Trust. February 15 & 16 – The Hogtown Allstars From Toronto, this band features six players from two of Canada’s most famous Blues bands – Downchild and Fathead – wow! Chuck Jackson (vocals & harp), Teddy Leonard (guitar), Michael Fonfara (keyboards), Pat Carey (sax), Gary Kendall (bass) and Mike Fitzpatrick (drums). Both bands have won Junos and everyone in the band has won a Maple Blues Award in their instrument category at last once. Are you ready for some Big Time Blues? The proceeds from these performances will go to Rideau Vista and St. Edwards Elementary Schools. March 15 & 16 – Jack de Keyzer Band Canada’s “King Of The Blues”, Toronto-based Jack de Keyzer is a singer/songwriter and guitarist extraordinaire. A two-time Juno Award and seven-time Maple Blues Award winner, he’s “The finest Blues guitarist in Canada” according to the late, great Jeff Healey. This is Jack’s fourth visit to The Cove and he always rips it up. One of the most popular acts to ever play the series. Proceeds to Easter Seals Eastern Ontario & Habitat for Humanity.

TOPS looks at functional fitness EMC Lifestyle - Many people deal with back or joint pain, balance problems, and other issues that can make day-to-day activities seem difficult and even agonizing. Tailoring your workout to include functional fitness exercises can increase your body’s ability to handle daily tasks and complete them with ease. Rather than lifting weights with a machine, complete your workout using real-life positions to prepare for real-life situations. TOPS Club, Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly), the non-profit weight-loss support organization, explains functional fitness and its benefits. “Functional fitness exercises are designed to train and develop your muscles to make it easier and safer to perform everyday tasks, such as carrying groceries or throwing a Frisbee with the kids,” explains Amy Goldwater, M.S., fitness educator, former body building champion, and physical fitness expert for TOPS. Functional fitness exercises can be done at home or at the gym. In fact, some gyms offer functional fitness courses or incorporate concepts into boot camps and other classes. “Exercise equipment such as fitness balls, kettle bells, and
weights are often used in functional fitness workouts,” says Goldwater. “These exercises tend to be multi-joint, multi-muscle exercises.” In the beginning, individuals should consider only using their own body weight for resistance, slowly adding weight and increasing the intensity level as their fitness ability improves. An example of a functional fitness exercise is the squat-to-bicep curl. Start with your feet shoulderwidth apart, spine straight, and core stable. Holding dumbbells at your sides, slowly bend through the hips, knees, and ankles until your knees reach a 90-degree angle. As you slowly return to the starting position, turn your palms toward the ceiling, flex your arms, and curl the dumbbells toward your shoulders. “The squat-to-bicep curl is a form of functional fitness, because it trains the muscles that are used to pick up an object – a laundry basket, bag, or young child – from the floor or a table,” explains Goldwater. “It is an exercise that combines upper- and lowerbody movements.” What are the benefits? • Reduces the risk of injury – Functional fitness prevents injuries that can be
caused by daily tasks and prepares your body to adjust to life’s unexpected twists and turns, so they don’t turn into more severe injuries. • Prepares the body to perform everyday duties – Functional fitness workouts train your body to perform daily activities – walking, bending, lifting, climbing stairs, and more – without pain or discomfort. “The goal isn’t just to gain strength, but also to increase flexibility, range of motion, joint alignment, and body awareness,” says Goldwater. • Emphasizes core stability – Strengthening your abdomen can improve balance to avoid falls and help your posture. • Improves quality of life – Functional fitness exercises can offer individuals peace of mind knowing they have better control of their bodies and the ability to perform activities safely and efficiently. TOPS has about 170,000 members in 10,000 chapters throughout the United States and Canada. Visitors are welcome to attend their first TOPS meeting free of charge. There are TOPS chapters in Smiths Falls, Perth, Carleton Place, and Kemptville. View www.tops.org or call (800) 932-8677.

Lanark County hospice visiting service seeks volunteers EMC News - Meet hospice volunteers Barbara Carroll, Beryl Orok and Marilyn Fisher. Barbara, Beryl and Marilyn were asked why they volunteer for Community Home Support – Lanark County’s Hospice Visiting Service. This is what they had to say: Barbara: “I am a volunteer with the Bereavement Team at Community Home SupportLanark County. At present I am one of four facilitators running a monthly open Bereavement Support Group in Carleton Place, and I meet oneon-one with clients who have lost a loved one. I volunteer in the area of bereavement because I feel very comfortable being present for the intense emotions of grief, I consider it a huge privilege to be with people during their most vulnerable and painful time, and I understand what it means to grieve without someone to stand by your side. These are the reasons that bring me to bereavement. The main
reason I keep doing this work is the clients I work with. I am always aware of their pain and struggle, and in awe of their courage, persistence, and openness. They are truly inspiring and I believe I receive at least as much from each of them as they do from me. In addition to this, I feel blessed by the fellowship, support, and encouragement I receive from other bereavement and palliative care volunteers, and of Community Home Support - Lanark County. It is wonderful to be a part of such a warm, caring, compassionate, and nourishing team.” Beryl: “I count it a privilege and a blessing to be a volunteer. I have met wonderful people who have opened their lives to me at a time in their life that is difficult, to say the least, so that I might journey with them. This is an enriching human experience. Being a volunteer gives life a purpose that I enjoy greatly. When I worked full time I had
some wonderful volunteers who came along side of me and were there to support the people I ministered to and me. I learned from them the value of a volunteer to those going through rough times in life and I wanted to personally be the voice of compassion and offer a caring hand to others. It is for me a rewarding and challenging opportunity. Not only have I met people who have touched my heart as clients, but it is good to be involved with other volunteers
and staff at Community Home Support who are like minded and committed to helping others. Marilyn: “Robert Twycross, who was the English pioneer of palliative care, really sums up why I volunteer with the hospice. “The spiritual dimension of a person is what holds together the physical, psychological, and social dimensions of our lives. It is felt that through good listening and companioning, we can assist people to become
more aware of their own values, hopes, and longings as they search to make sense or meaning of their illness.”
people they love. If you are a sensitive and caring person with some time to spare, come out and join a team of compassionate volunteers! For further information about becoming a volunteer, please contact Rebecca Bowie at 613-267-6400, ext. 28 or rebeccab@chslc.ca.
Volunteering The Volunteer Hospice Visiting Service of Community Home Support – Lanark County needs more volunteers! Hospice volunteers give people living with serious illness the chance to be cared for at home, in comfort and dignity surrounded by the

EOJHL season opens with full slate of games EMC Sports - The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League launched the new season last week and although it is early, one of the odds-on favourites in the Valley Division has been gripped by major change that could impact their campaign. Arnprior Packers, who cruised to the division pennant and went on to claim the Valley championship, were missing long-time head coach and general manager Bill Griese when they opened their regular season schedule with a loss in Renfrew Friday night. Griese left the team following a disagreement with the new owners and general manager, stating they came apart over who would be in charge of personnel (player) matters. With 17 years of junior hockey coaching experience and a division championship last season, Griese expected to have the final say in terms of who played for the Packers. He says he wasn’t given that responsibility and therefore could not remain as head coach. The rest of the coaching staff from last year is gone along with several veteran players who decided they did not want to be part of the new regime. Arnprior will host the third annual EOJHL Fall Classic Oct. 12 to14. All 22 teams in the four-division league will participate in the annual tournament at Nick Smith Centre. Each team will play two regular season games against nondivision opponents during the three day extravaganza. The NHL Ottawa Senators are the major sponsor for this year’s event. The 2012-2013 season began Sept. 12 with Brockville Tikis hosting South Grenville Rangers from Prescott in the inaugural game. The teams play in the five-team Rideau Division. Brockville doubled the visitors 6-3. Nicholas Pilon and Bradley Hamilton led the winners with a goal and an assist each. Tikis dominated offensively, outshooting their opponents 32-15. The other entries in the five team Rideau loop are defending champion Athens Aeros, perennial division winners Westport Rideaus and Gananoque Islanders. Besides Arnprior the six team Valley Division includes Almonte Thunder, Perth Blue Wings, Stittsville Royals, Renfrew Timberwolves and Shawville (Quebec) Pontiacs. The five team Metro (city) Division is comprised of Ottawa West Golden Knights, Ottawa Junior Canadians, Clarence Creek Beavers, Metcalfe Jets and Gatineau Mustangs based in Buckingham, Quebec. Mustangs were last season’s division champions.
There are also six sides in the St. Lawrence Division. Among them is defending division and league champion Casselman Vikings along with Akwesasne Wolves, Morrisburg Lions, Winchester Hawks, Char-Lan Rebels from Williamstown and Alexandria Glens. The Valley and Metro Division make up one conference while the Rideau and St. Lawrence is also combined. Teams in the respective conferences play most of their regular season contests within their own division. But they also crossover for some interlocking games. In the playoffs the Valley and Metro winners meet in one league semi-final while the Rideau and St. Lawrence champions face-off in the other. The survivors meet for the right to hoist the D. Arnold Carson Memorial Trophy emblematic of EOJHL supremacy. Last season Casselman skated past Gatineau in the overall league final. Perth wins big Valley Division action began Friday night with all six Valley entries doing battle against each other. In Perth Friday the host Blue Wings lathered visiting Almonte 11-2 with Shawn McGillivary leading the offence with two goals and two assists. Veterans Brett Madigan and Riley Kane had a goal and three helpers each while Blair Barr and Mike Smyth chipped in with two markers apiece. Kyle Killeen had a goal and an assist for Thunder in the penalty-marred season opener! In other inaugural action Friday host Renfrew downed county rival Arnprior 7-4 while Stittsville doubled Shawville 4-2 in a contest played in Aylmer, Quebec. Sunday afternoon Perth was beaten 7-3 at home by Ottawa West in their first interlocking game of the campaign. Golden Knights jumped out to a 5-0 lead before Blue Wings responded in period two. It was 7-1 when the hosts rallied with two late markers in the third period to make it a little more respectable. Veteran Ryan Sterling led Ottawa West with two goals. McGillivary, Smyth and Tyler Coyles were the Perth goalgetters. In other games Sunday it was visiting Arnprior edging Stittsville 4-3. Renfrew was blanked 2-0 by Gatineau in Buckingham while Shawville fell 6-1 to Clarence Creek, also on the road. Almonte visits Arnprior Friday while Perth will travel to Shawville. Sunday afternoon Blue Wings host Packers at 1:45 while at 2:30 Almonte will be in Stittsville.

Four hundred year-old comedy to hit Carleton Place stage sion of one of his plays is reimagined for yet another cinematic treatment. Part of his secret, of course, is that not only do audiences like seeing the plays, but actors love performing in them. The tradition of acting Shakespeare continues this year in Carleton Place, as well, as the Mississippi Mudds Youth Theatre brings the wellloved Much Ado About Nothing to the Town Hall Stage. Among the young actors cutting their teeth on the Bard are newcomer Molly Cooney,

who plays the young romantic lass named Hero; Cristian Bowie, who played the First Murderer in last year’s Macbeth, plays Claudio, the object of Hero’s affection; Katie Irvine, who played Ruth in last year’s Mudds Youth production of Pirates of Penzance Jr. as Hero’s mother Leonata; and Jack Cruise – Macbeth himself – broadening his range and taking a romantic and comedic turn playing the dashing prince Don Pedro. Director Mark Piper is obviously very proud of his
young cast. “I don’t know how I got so lucky, finding 13 talented teenagers like this, who give up two nights a week to come and rehearse this play, not counting the time they spend at home working on their characters. Oh, yes, you bet I’m having fun – watching these young geniuses make this play their own. It’s a joy just to watch them work.” But it’s obvious the young actors are having fun too despite their hard work. So if you’re ready to enjoy watching a group of actors, all un-

EMC Events - This year’s Pet Lover’s Expo held Sept. 29 in Merrickville welcomes attendees to jump in and get their hands -and paws - into the fundraising efforts for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS). “We’re hoping we’ll be able to raise some money to help them keep the doors open,” said Michelle Green, member of the event’s organizing committee. Organizers hope to add $5,000 to LAWS budget sheets after this event is over. The fifth annual fundraiser at the Merrickville Community Centre has a day full of activity for area families and their furry friends, including some new additions your dog will flip over. Throughout the course of the event (10 a.m. to 3 p.m.) a dog rally will be set up on the grounds where pets and their owners can try their paws at some agility moves. “It’s a good experience to see how well your dog responds to commands on leash,” Green said. Favourite expo events such as the pet fashion show will be returning for the day by popular demand. As well, the best trick and pet look alike contests will be returning with a $5 entry fee. Get into the spirit early by submitting your Look Alike photo today. Simply log on to the event website (www.petloverexpo. com) and select the contest link to the left then follow the links to submit your photo. Judges and the voting public will select this year’s mirror image pair! Best Trick will be taking place that day, but registration can be done online. The area’s most talented pups will be judged Sat. Sept. 29 on their smarts by radio personality, Sandy Sharkey of BOB FM. “The fact that you can bring your pet is a really nice thing,” Green said of the expo. Pets of all kinds will be making their way to the community centre in Merrickville later this month for the fun and educational offerings to be had during the expo. Judy Tennant of Parrot Partner in Carleton Place will be in attendance to speak to the audience about the realities of parrot ownership. “It’s an awareness of the pros and cons of owning a parrot,” Tennant said of her presentation. Some might not know that vet bills for parrots are significantly higher than traditional pets due to the lack of information available on them medically. However, parrots are extremely intelligent pets and can be best handled with positive reinforcement techniques and not force. Attend Tennant’s presentation Sept. 29 at the Pet Lover’s Expo to find out more! Everyone is welcome to head out to the Merrickville Community Centre later this month and celebrate the positive impact your pet has on your life by ensuring pets without a home still receive care at LAWS. A general admission of $5 does apply. The Pet Lover’s website speaks to the incredible impact having a pet in your life can have on the health of you and those around you. A Cambridge University study found that pet ownership resulted in fewer ailments and that these results could be seen in as little as one month. Pets also have a lot to give to children in the household by teaching them to care for others and consider others feelings.
der 20 years old, embrace the tradition of the actor’s craft, and fearlessly take on a comedy that’s over 400 years old, you’re ready for the Mudds Youth Theatre’s production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing.

Cheers, and All in the Family all rolled into one. In a time when bear baiting was considered popular entertainment, William Shakespeare drew people from all classes and walks of life into the theatre to enjoy his sophisticated wordplay and character-based humour. And he continues to bring in the audiences four hundred years later, both on stage - witness the popularity of Canada’s own Stratford Festival - and on screen – it seems that every year some new ver-

EMC News - When people think of Shakespeare, they usually think of the great tragedies: Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and King Lear. And to tell the truth, most actors would rather bust their dramatic chops on a good scene-chewing tragic hero – doing comedy just doesn’t seem serious somehow. But in his day, the Bard was loved for his comedies. In the year 1600, he was the age’s greatest writer of situation comedies. Shakespeare’s plays were Seinfeld, MASH,

ball came from a loving home but circumstances changed and the owner had to surrender him. He is just longing for that one person to take him to a forever home again. Furball is friendly, clean and loves other cats as he has lived with other feline friends before.

Unfortunately, we don’t know what has happened to Frenchie in his previous life… He’s terribly fearful but definitely not aggressive when you pick him up. He seeks the confine of his cage for security and is showing evident signs of depression. We feel that he needs a loving home where someone

He wants to be loved and cuddled, but in a very gentle soothing manner. Although Frenchie is showing some progress with people, we know that he desperately needs a foster home or better, a forever home that would allow him to show his true colours. Please come and visit this spe-

Stockwood performs in Perth EMC Events - While Kim Stockwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world spills out well beyond the shores of Newfoundland and Labrador, she is anchored heart and soul to this place. She seeks out what is special here and searches for a voice that will reflect her longing and love for the province. One way she has found to capture that voice is to go Back To The Water. When she left her beloved native spot 18 years ago she could not have known the paths she would travel or the heights she would scale. Stockwood is an accomplished artist on many fronts, from singer to songwriter to television host and radio personality. These things she does with humor, grace, and class. Her hit songs, her awards and accolades, her solo work and her work with Shaye, have seen her mature as an artist. Her wealth of experience and her longing for home have laid the foundation for Back To The Water. This album is filled with the sound and fury of a place that surges upward with a fist of rock and grabs life from the skyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air. The album is enriched and enlivened by Newfoundland musical luminaries and session players who would shame the Nashville Scene. It is a great source of pride for Stockwood to have her wonderful dad play with her.

The power of the sea can be heard here, roaring beneath Stockwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soaring vocals. The album, Back To The Water, is indeed a musical trip through the beating heart of the province.

Carleton Ford grand re-opening offers a bonanza for new, used vehicle buyers By JEFF MAGUIRE Carleton Ford Sales in Carleton Place is proudly showing off their newly renovated premises and this month, during their “Grand Re-Opening,” customers will benefit from some outstanding special promotions which apply not only to new vehicles, but to used ones as well. The special occasion will be celebrated on Thursday, Sept. 27. But the entire month is special for customers and staff members. There was a buzz of excitement in the showroom and at the service counter when the EMC visited last Tuesday. Smiling faces are the norm at Carleton Ford. That is especially true at this special time for the business!
available at Carleton Ford during this special month, vehicles on the lot will carry stickers showing the old prices and the new. “This is a big month for us and a great time for people to come here and see what we have to offer,” Matt says. Mike offers even more reassurance for buyers, noting that none of the vehicles sold at Carleton Place have ever been involved in any kind of collision. “We sell only non-accidented vehicles.” Customers will be impressed by the appearance of the dealership which underwent a major facelift earlier this year.
Owners Mike and Glenda Pitre and their 23-member staff are already well known for their excellent customer service. “We’re among the top ten per cent in Canada for customer satisfaction,” says Mike, president of the Carleton Place Ford dealership which has served the district since 1983. Carleton Ford Sales is located on Highway 7, just west of McNeely Avenue and east of the junction of Highways 7 and 15.
“It took from February to May to complete,” Glenda notes. “But we are thrilled with the outcome.”
This month the Pitre’s and their sales team are intent on putting even bigger smiles on clients’ faces.
The Pitre’s stress the innovative renovation was completed using all local tradesmen and businesses.
“New vehicle buyers already receive a five year warranty as well as a two-year total maintenance plan,” Mike observes. “The maintenance package includes oil, filters and all of Ford’s recommended service.
Carleton Ford is a proud member of the Carleton Place business community and besides providing outstanding service to their valued customers the firm also supports the hospital foundations in both Carleton Place and Almonte along with the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. They also support the Lanark Branch of the Navy League of Canada which operates two Sea Cadets Corps based in Carleton Place.
“If you buy a new vehicle from us in September we are also offering three years of oil changes,” the company president stresses. Carleton Ford is a major seller of used vehicles. During the grand re-opening used vehicle purchasers will receive a six month “premium care” warranty from the new-look Carleton Place dealership. “That is a full coverage warranty,” Mike underlines. “We back all of our vehicles!” The firm’s sales and business manager Matt Trueman says that to emphasize the deals
‘Green’ business Mike says the firm is a “state-of-the-art business” which has also “gone green”. The renovation features eco-friendly flooring and new LED exterior lighting that “helps reduce energy consumption and allows for brighter viewing at night.”
The firm is a 25-time recipient of Ford’s prestigious President’s Award which goes to dealerships who provide outstanding customer service and satisfaction. In 2011 Carleton Ford Sales was honoured to be named to the Ford President’s Award Diamond Club in recognition of their excellence in sales and service.
At Carleton Ford the emphasis is on pleasing customers. Ford’s new line of vehicles continues to be popular. But there is also an increased focus on used cars, trucks and SUVs. “We will buy your existing vehicle at or above market value, even if you don’t buy our vehicle,” Mike states. “If you are thinking about another car, think about Carleton Ford when it comes to selling your existing vehicle,” he adds. Mike says the aim is to “put money in the customer’s pocket” rather than a vehicle auction service.

“The bottom line is we want to buy your trade-in even if you don’t buy from us.” Mike states that like all Ford dealerships “we live and breathe the business 12 months a year.” Sales manager Matt Trueman is also the company’s credit manager. The sales team includes veteran used car manager Duffy Pettes and sales consultants Ken Laszlo and Paul Marcil. Judy Pallister is the service manager at Carleton Ford and Paul Bronsard is the service advisor. Also assisting at the service desk is the Pitre’s daughter Stacey who is the firm’s customer retention clerk. Their son Chris Pitre works alongside Gary Sauve, Manager and Rick Morris in the parts department.

EMC Lifestyle - We have been working very hard on our gardens; our leaders Bev and Martin Savard have opened their home and garden to us. The members of the club are Amy Kehoe, Ashley Gale, Avery Dowdall, Breanna Lunn, Elizabeth Dowdall, Jessica Savard and Zoey Read-Stafford. At our first meeting, we talked about basic gardening and planted tomato seeds in peat pots, and then we learned how to test our soil so we would have a better garden. Each of us tried a piece of sun choke. At the second meeting, we learned how to prepare the garden beds for planting and learned how to plant different seeds. We got to try tasting dried garlic chips. The third meeting we learned to make homemade strawberry jam, strawberry mousse and spaghetti squash – Yummy! At our fourth meeting we made scarecrows, rain gauges and manure tea for our garden, Yuck! The club members enjoyed making delicious salsa with our garden produce. We loved using the salsa on our quesadillas. We also enjoyed making homemade garden soap. Even though we had such a dry year we have fun growing and learning together! By Avery Dowdall, age 10

There are many more types of exercise classes offered in your area; yoga, kettlebells, boot camps, Pilates and more. Most fitness studios or gyms are happy to offer a free class for you to try out.

If your love affair with that indispensable treadmill is running stale, consider sprucing up your fitness regimen with innovative and fun workouts that promise not only to blast fat but also put the fun back into your cardio workouts. There are many options out there so the key is to find that perfect class that suits both your physical abilities and fitness goals as well as your personality. Here are some ideas to inspire you: 1-Piloxing: PILOXING is an exciting, new inter-disciplinary program that is attracting die hard followers including Hollywood celebrities and international stars. It uniquely mixes Pilates and boxing moves into a fat torching, muscle sculpting, core-centric interval workout, guaranteed to whip you into shape, using a class format that’s both fun and challenging. Piloxing instructors are certified by the Piloxing Academy in California. 2-Zumba: Zumba is a dance-inspired aerobic workout also taught by licensed instructors. It is hugely popular and is presented more as a dance party than a fitness workout. But don’t be fooled, you’re going to get a total body workout while you move to the sounds a various music styles. Many studios offer Zumba classes so it’s convenient to find a class near you. 3-Cardio Kickboxing: Cardio kickboxing was originally made popular by American fitness guru Billy Blank and his Tae-Bo brand. It is a high intensity cardio workout that incorporates moves from various martial arts disciplines. It can be practiced with our without weighted gloves, which are readily available at most sporting goods stores. 4-Fitness Kickboxing: Fitness kickboxing is often confused for cardio kickboxing but it is different in that generally speaking, fitness kickboxing is done with a partner using focus pads and boxing gloves or hand wraps. It is a contact discipline, unlike cardio kickboxing. In Canada, instructors are certified by Fitness Kickboxing Canada. 5-Indoor Cycling: Commonly referred to as “spinning,” it is a form of exercise class focusing on endurance, strength, intervals, high intensity (race days) and recovery, that involve using a special stationary exercise bicycle. Riders synchronize their pedaling to be in time with

My Plexus Journey Prior to discovering Plexus Slim I had tried every weight loss product that I could find. I tried one that helped me lose 110 lbs, but during the process I developed an eating disorder. Once I went off their program I gained 90 lbs back in a short period of time. I was battling with severe depression, my doctor classified me as morbidly obese, I had high blood pressure and was a boarder-line diabetic. I was slowly killing myself with food and lack of exercise. One day while on Facebook I was searching for different weight loss groups and products and I found a lady advertising Plexus Slim, she told me that it was the easiest product she had ever tried. I bought a 3 day sample from her. I immediately felt a difference! I loved the energy that it gave me. Currently I have lost 88 lbs and 45”, I am off all of my medication and my blood pressure is the same as it was in high school. Financially Plexus has also made a huge impact on my life. I don’t live pay check to pay check anymore. Last year I qualified for the Leader’s retreat in Florida but I couldn’t afford the air fare. This year I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to New Orleans for the Opportunity of a Lifetime Convention, without any financial worries. Now I am looking forward to building or buying my dream home with my Plexus Commissions. Thank you Dave Brown for developing such an amazing product that saved my life! And thanks to Plexus Worldwide for making it possible for me to be a part of something so great. It has changed my life! Submitted by Heather Hill

Posture... Crucial to your health! Posture is not simply a matter of sitting or standing up straight, but rather is defined as the position of each of the various parts of the body with respect to each other for the purpose of proper function. As soon as a child begins to stand upright, you can begin to look for signs of improper postural alignment. Shifts in position of the head, shoulder or hip can be seen as soon as a child is weight bearing. As children grow up, play sports, play video games, read, text and watch TV, troublesome postural habits due to chronic improper positions or from falls and injuries can develop. In response, the body will typically begin to adapt to the improper alignment and cause postural deviations that you can see. These can include a tilting of the head, a low shoulder, a lower hip, in turn or out turned feet. These postural changes are a signal of an underlying problem and generally in children there will be no discomfort or symptoms. As the child grows and these misalignments are not corrected, they will become more evident in the teen / young adult years. Upper back tension, headaches, menstrual problems, constipation, breathing difficulty, sports performance plateaus and low back pain to name a few. As this young adult ages, and perhaps takes various medications for the symptoms and never corrects the spinal misalignments causing the health problems, they can become one of the many seniors with poor balance and muscle tone, the leading cause of fractures in seniors. Clearly the best defense is early detection. That’s why it’s important to have your children and teens screened. So many adults go through life medicating pain and various health concerns/symptoms, meanwhile they are unknowingly ‘comfortably degenerating’ on the inside. Not listening to our body signals unfortunately will catch up with us at some point in time, unfortunately for many it is in their senior years. A Doctor of Chiropractic is the only healthcare professional that is trained in the early detection and correction of spinal mis-alignments, postural deviations and vertebral subluxations. Our focus is on postural correction and spinal reconstruction. “Look to the spine for the cause and prevention of disease” Submitted by Almonte Chiropractic Centre

You have probably heard the term ‘Omega 3’ as it is being added to many foods; from juice to cereal to yogurt. But what is Omega 3 and why do we need it? Omega 3 is a type of Essential Fatty Acids; a natural substance your body needs to establish and maintain overall wellbeing. It is called an Essential Fatty Acids because it is ‘essential to life’. The body does not produce EFA’s on its own, so they must be consumed from food sources such as raw nuts, raw seeds and fish. EFA’s are a vital component of every cell in the body and play an important role in many key functions including: • neurotransmissions throughout the body

Was bread’s namesake Anna really lazy? EMC Lifestyle - If you’ve ever come across a recipe for Anadama bread, you’re probably familiar with the story of how it got its name. One of the early pioneers in New England supposedly had a lazy wife named Anna. She never had supper ready for him, but every night she would serve him cornmeal mush or pudding. Finally getting tired of this, the fellow stirred some flour and molasses into the mush and put it on the fire to bake. All the time, he kept muttering, “Anna, damn her!”
Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW
I don’t know what his bread tasted like, but I can guarantee that once you’ve tasted this bread machine version, you’ll make it often. Made with cornmeal, molasses and flour, Anadama bread is very light in texture, brown in color and slightly
sweet in flavour. It goes well with almost any meal, but I particularly like to serve it with chili or soup. This bread keeps well and stays fairly moist for about two days. Anadama Bread 2/3 cup water 2 tbsp. cornmeal
1 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine 2 tbsp. molasses 1 1/2 cups flour 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. bread machine yeast Measure the ingredients into your bread machine in the order given. Start it, using either the Delay or Regular cycle. When the bread is done, remove it from the baking pan, and set it on a wire rack for about one hour to cool before slicing. This recipe makes a small loaf, ideal for 2 to 4 people.

Last direct link to famous First World War pilot is gone EMC Lifestyle - It was with great sadness that I learned last week of the death of Margaret Harmon, the last surviving child of Captain Arthur ‘Roy’ Brown, the Carleton Place pilot credited with shooting down arguably the most famous wartime airman of all time, Baron Manfred von Richthofen. I got to know Margaret late in her life. She made several visits to her father’s hometown to attend activities related to her Dad and one of the most incredible incidents of the First World War involving a Canadian. Brown’s fateful clash with Richthofen in 1918 is the stuff of legend. It was the young Canadian pilot who lived to tell the tale, although his part in the death of the most prolific ace of the First World War haunted him for the rest of his short life. His oldest child Margaret was a delightful person. A vivacious lady with an incredible sense of recall and a great appreciation for history, especially her father’s part in it. She adored her dad and was pleased to see that steps are finally being taken in Carleton Place to immortalize his part in the very interesting story of flight. A museum, a statue and perhaps even a permanent model of Brown’s Sopwith Camel aircraft are all in the works. I am privileged to be a founding member of the Roy Brown Society, the group who are working to give him and others the recognition they deserve. Outside of an historic plaque in a Carleton Place park and a few photos in places such as the local museum, there are no permanent tributes to Brown in his hometown. The current process should have taken place years ago. No one is at fault. The failure to celebrate Brown’s life and achievements is typically Canadian to be honest. Controversy Some will say that is because of “the controversy” which continues to dog (no, I don’t mean Snoopy) Brown’s aerial victory over Richthofen, the man an American pulp fiction writer later dubbed “The Red Baron.” As a result of that nickname, as much as anything else, it is the Baron and not Brown who remains world famous. The Australians say one of their machine gunners on the ground fired the machine gun bullet that ended the life of the WW I flyer with the most victories. Richthofen was credited with 80 “kills” during his brief, but illustrious, career as a fighter pilot. Margaret Harmon was an American. Well, she held dual citizenship but spent most of her life living in the U.S. She died in Sun City, Arizona on Sept. 2, less than a year after suffering a serious stroke. Her death breaks the last direct family connection to Roy Brown and one of the most famous occurrences in the history of aerial combat. In October 2009, during her last visit to Carleton Place, I had the pleasure of conducting a comprehensive interview with Margaret. She came here to discuss details about how artifacts of her father’s, which she kindly donated to the Roy Brown Society, will be used when the displays in his memory are established. That will happen within a few months.
Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
“It was his actions which led to the Baron’s death,” his daughter said defiantly. She fairly bristled at the mere mention of Australian ground gunners. Margaret never doubted the influence of her father in terms of the events which occurred on Sunday, April 21, 1918 in the skies above war-torn France. “If Dad hadn’t flown to the aid of Wop May (his squadron mate) none of it would have happened,” she stated. Wilfred ‘Wop’ May was being pursued by the bright red tri-plane with Richthofen at the controls. His squadron leader Brown dove to his assistance. The rest is history! In Carleton Place there is no question Capt. Brown was the victor that day. He was officially credited with bringing down the Baron. That’s more than good enough for those of us who live here. Case closed! Oddly it also became part of one of the most famous comic strips in history, Snoopy by the late Charles Schulz. A Florida band, the Royal Guardsmen, followed Schulz’s lead, recording two extremely fictional songs about Snoopy and the Red Baron. The real life occurrence is part of the incredible story of early manned flight. After all the Wright Brothers winged their way into history less than 15 years before Brown’s encounter with Richthofen! Margaret Harmon marveled more at her father’s part in the history of flight than she did about his brief duel with Richthofen. Her Dad spent the rest of his life trying to avoid the subject of the Baron. Roy Brown was saddened to have played the prominent role in Richthofen’s death. He certainly never bragged about it! In the First World War, the first pilots acted as observers for ground troops. One day someone took a pistol aloft and suddenly the scene shifted to aerial combat. It quickly evolved to the point where flyers were chasing and shooting at each other with machine guns. Short life-span Obviously flying itself was a very dangerous undertaking considering the quality (or lack of same) of early aircraft. Add the dangers inherent for wartime pilots and their life span was very limited. “A pilot’s average time in the air (before being shot down) was two weeks,” Margaret told me. Roy Brown was nearly killed in a crash in England in July 1918. As a result his general health was so badly affected he never flew following the war. “Dad didn’t talk a lot about his war-time experiences,” she says. Not even his fateful meeting with Richthofen in April 1918. “But there is one story he told me that I will never forget,” she stated. “He fell out of an airplane. Well – not completely of course.” Harmon told me her Dad lost control of his aircraft during an
aerial duel with an enemy pilot. The aircraft turned turtle, rolling over but continuing to fly straight ahead. “He was held in by his straps and finally managed to fight his way back into the (pilot’s) seat.” Brown regained control of the Sopwith Camel and resumed his battle with the Ger-
man pilot. The enemy airman, apparently mesmerized by Brown’s upside down maneuvering, paused just long enough for the Canadian to gain the initiative. “He hesitated and Dad shot him down.” Another German pilot who witnessed the encounter apparently thought it had all been part of Brown’s plan of attack. “He later said he had ‘never seen stunt flying like that,’” she laughed. The war and the crash took a terrible toll on Brown. “At 35 he looked like a 60-year-old,” his daughter noted.
Regardless, he showed the kind of determination that served him so well as a younger man and war-time fighter ace. Brown is credited with downing 12 enemy aircraft, none more famous than Richthofen however! Brown died on March 9, 1944, at age 50, as a direct result of his war injuries. Now his last surviving child is gone. Margaret had an interesting and very full life. She was married twice and had four children by her second husband. Three survive along with five grandchildren and two greatgrandchildren.
It is now up to our organization, with the assistance of other surviving family members, to make sure her father’s incredible story is told in his hometown. It would be nice to see the occurrence get more national attention as well, especially in the Canadian War Museum. The good news is that the displays in Carleton Place are nearly ready. Sadly Margaret Harmon did not live to see the museum dedicated to her father’s life and exploits!

Terry Fox coordinator passes torch
Author pens novel about the Christie Lake’s mailman. — Page P7
EMC News - Next year’s Perth Terry Fox Run may be a little different now that long-time coordinator, Allison Schmidtke, is passing the torch to new coordinator, Lori McMunn. But despite rumours to the contrary, there will definitely be a Terry Fox Run in Perth in 2013 and beyond. McMunn will not be embarking on her new role as coordinator alone. As co-
owner of Finnegan Insurance, she will be relying on the participation and support from co-workers as well as fellow co-owner, Terry Finnegan. Finnegan Insurance will serve as organizers for the Perth Terry Fox Run, working with McMunn to raise funds for cancer research. According to Schmidtke, the participation of Finnegan Insurance could make a big difference in the scope of the event in future years.
Schmidtke explained she has participated in the Terry Fox run in one capacity or another for more than 30 years and has coordinated the Perth run for the past five years. Over the past few years, she said it had become harder to find volunteers to help organize and run the event. Thankfully, this year’s numbers are up for both volunteers and participants, See FOX page P2

versity Women’s (CFUW) environmental committee, during the committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11. “We recommend that budgeting for this start right away,” with construction hopefully next year. She also recommended the naturalization of stretches of the Tay’s shoreline as well as limiting dog access to the waters, and enforcing stoopand-scoop laws in the town.
Another recommendation was that the town work with Parks Canada, and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) to deal with the issue, as well implementing an adopt-the-shoreline program and signage. “We’d like to turn the situation around in a spirit of cooperation and friendliness,” said Land. “The ball is now in your court.” See E.COLI page P2

In May, Anderson sentenced Massie to 12 months probation and three months prohibition, concurrently on the two charges. He was ordered to not have in his possession any firearms, crossbow, ammunition, explosive substances or weapons for a period of three months – including for work purposes. After the three months have expired, he can have weapons reinstated (for example, a gun for work purposes). He was also ordered to not have any contact with the victim and to attend anger management classes, as recommended by his probation officer. “The board has confidence that all of the factors have been considered as part of the disciplinary process set out in the Police Services Act,” said Stephanie Gray, PSB chair, “which is held in addition to the court proceedings.”

EMC News - A police officer with the Perth Police Service went before the Police Services Board on Monday, Sept. 17, for further disciplinary action after being found guilty in the spring of domestic assault against his wife. Marc Massie was found guilty of two counts of discreditable conduct contrary to section 80 (1)(a) of the Ontario Police Services Act as prescribed in section 2(1)(a) (ix) of the Code of Conduct, Regulation 268/10 as amended. The officer was immediately placed on suspension without pay for four days and received an additional 20 days forfeiture (no pay). “The goals of organizational discipline are to correct and deter misconduct and to reassure the public,” said Perth Police Chief Pat Capello. “Police officers are office holders and are subject to an additional statutory accountability system beyond the average citizen. This inappropriate conduct by our member and the disposition levied reflects the nature and seriousness of the offence, rehabilitation of the officer and damage to the service, coupled with the common principles of sentencing to meet the public interest. “Police services must be committed to working to continually earn the public’s trust by demonstrating the highest degree of professionalism. We police the police in an open and fair manner to be accountable to the public and to maintain the public’s trust and confidence.” The chief also stated that Massie did not lose his rank as a sergeant with the police force. “He will return to work after the suspension period and will then be required to forfeit 20 days.” On May 23, Massie, a
27-year member of the Perth Police Service, pleaded guilty in the Ontario Court of Justice in Brockville to assault and uttering a death threat. He was sentenced to a conditional discharge with probation for one year. The charges stem from an on-duty domestic-related incident that occurred on Nov. 10, 2011. During court proceedings, it was revealed that Massie had committed the assault on his wife while on duty. “Mr. Massie reached into the vehicle as if to grab the throat of his spouse...without actually touching her. At the same time, he mouthed obscenities to her, and those comments included a threat to cause serious bodily harm or death,” Judge Charles Anderson said. Massie was in full uniform at the time, “and that in itself is disgraceful,” Anderson said. “Regardless of one’s position (or employment in the community) all people are equal before the law.”

something which Schmidtke accredits to the participation of Finnegan Insurance. “It’s hard to get volunteers now. Last year we had six volunteers, but this year we had 19,” Schmidtke explained, adding that participant numbers have also increased from roughly 160 last year to 180 this year. A lack of volunteers forced Schmidtke to pare down the activities for the Terry Fox Run to the bare minimum. With more volunteers and participation, Schmidtke said she hopes to see the return of the children’s activities such as face painting and balloon animals. McMunn echoed that she would like to see the silent auction and door prizes return to the Terry Fox Run in Perth, in addition to children’s events. “I’m so excited, they (Finnegan Insurance) have all these ideas and I’m thinking, go for it!” Schmidtke said. For McMunn, Finnegan, and other employees at Finnegan Insurance, cancer research has a particularly special meaning. McMunn explained that not only have most employees been touched by cancer through someone in their friends and family, but one of their long time staff, Sylvia James, has been diagnosed with cancer. The Terry Fox Run held particular appeal to

Lauren Miller took a moment to make sure she was all tied up before heading off on the 5 km run through Perth. McMunn because all funds raised through the event go to cancer research. McMunn said she was impressed with how positive Schmidtke and other organizers were during this year’s
Terry Fox Run. “They kept saying every little bit helps.” This year marked the 32nd year of the Terry Fox Run in Canada. Funds raised through the run go to cancer research.
The recommendations come out of surveys and samplings undertaken by the group this past summer. The CFUW carried out a survey of 48 responders, of which 71 per cent were non-Perth residents, and 29 per cent were from Perth. The poll found that seven per cent of non-Perth residents swam in the Tay River, while 71 per cent of Perth residents had taken a dip in the Tay. After being told about the E. coli problems in the Tay, 100 per cent of out-of-towners said that they would not swim in the Tay, while 27 per cent of Perth residents polled said that they would continue to swim. The poll also found that regular E. coli reporting was considered necessary by 94 per cent of respondents, compared with 40 per cent who thought that a lifeguard posted on the river’s banks was necessary for safety. The testing was carried out at several times throughout the summer at several locations including: Rogers Road Glen Tay Big Ben culvert Last Duel Park Sunset Blvd. The testing concluded that on July 9, E. coli was found to be in the moderate range

We went through considerable trouble to make sure that the data was accurate,” with five samples being taken at each of the six sites. “There are still ways we can keep the people informed,” said Coun. Jim Graff. “But there are only so many signs you can put up. We (also) have to start laying charges for that infraction (failing to stoop and scoop.) Word gets around.” Graff also pointed out that, while the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville Health Unit does diligent work, it takes about 24 hours for its E. coli testing results to return, by which time the situation in area waterways may have changed. “So much depends on the health service,” Graff said. Coun. Jim Boldt had a spirited
exchange with Land over how much of the E. coli problem could be traced to the Town of Perth, and how much of the fault lay with farms upstream. “You don’t feel it is a valid statement?” asked Boldt. Land replied that “upstream is actually improving,” according to the RVCA. “It’s not just coming from upstream.” “I don’t dispute that some of the E. coli comes from the farm,” said Boldt. “Cows poop a lot more than dogs do.” Boldt also expressed concerns about the cost of building the containment units. “The cost of putting these things (in) would be off the chart,” said Boldt. Graff however expressed his belief that while there would be a cost, the time had come to bear it. “We’re going to have to face putting in catch basins at the Stewart School and Stewart Park,” said Graff. “The time has come when we will have to implement those catch basins.”

Town staff recommend splash pad at Conlon Farm By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
EMC News – Town staff are recommending a “drain to storm” splash pad be built at Conlon Farm, at a cost of between $135,000 and $200,000. “My recommendation is to select the drain-to-storm system,” said Shellee Evans, director of community services, during the town’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11. She recommended that the free and accessible system operates for 90 days between June and September. Another option considered, then rejected, by the town, was for a water treatment splash pad system, which would have used its own water supply. The water treatment plant for the pad alone would have cost $80,000, and of the three options would have been the most expensive system to install and maintain, but was also the easiest on water. “It does not merit such an expensive system,” said Evans. A third option under consideration was the “retain and reuse system” which would retain the water used at the park and reuse it to water town lawns and flowers. “This would have been my recommendation if Conlon Farm was being built today,”

The splash pad at Lower Reach Park in Smiths Falls came in for special commendation as an example to follow from Perth Mayor John Fenik. Perth town staff would like to see a similar splash pad - albeit with a rubberized surface as opposed to Smiths Falls’ concrete one - at Conlon Farm. said Evans. “(But) it would be very costly to do now.” Currently, it takes about 600 gallons of water a day to water downtown Perth’s flowers. The splash pad, when built, will likely use about 4,300 gallons of water per day. The recommended system for Perth would use about 90 gallons of water per minute, timed to 20 to 30-second cycles, but Evans hastened to add that environmentally friendly methods would be employed in the system’s operation. In comparing neighbouring municipalities, Evans noted that the City of Ottawa’s 85
splash pads require about $5,000 per month on water fees. Smiths Falls spends about $50,000 on its drain-tostorm system, but the neighbouring town has not had its splash pad operational long enough to have final data on water usage. Similar splash pads in Bobcaygeon, Ont. and Uxbridge, Ont., spent between $140,000 and $150,000 respectively on installation. One improvement Evans said she wanted to see in Perth’s splash pad was not to use concrete, where children could scrape their knees through falls, but with a type
of rubberized surface which is less abrasive. It was noted that there were grants available to help get the project off the ground, and that Perth was facing a certain degree of “market leakage” by having residents travel to Smiths Falls or Carleton Place, which have splash pads at Lower Reach Park and Riverside Park respectively. Evans recommended that 50 per cent of the funding for the project come through grants and fundraising, with a projected maximum cost of $200,000. It was also hoped that a cost-sharing agreement could
be reached with neighbouring municipalities like Tay Valley and Drummond-North Elmsley. “We need to get some type of support on this in writing from them,” said Evans. “There would have to be an agreement,” agreed Mayor John Fenik, who added that he wanted the multi-year project signed before the next election. If the splash pad is approved, “I don’t think there would be as many kids playing in the water in Stewart Park,” said Coun. Judy Brown. Fenik gave credit where it is due to Perth’s southeastern
neighbours in Smiths Falls. “That splash pad has been nothing but a positive influence on that community,” said Fenik. “I think we are learning from other towns how to do it.” Evans will be putting together a request for proposals on the project in the coming days, and “we would be required to go out to tender on this,” Evans said. Another aspect of the proposal is that the existing playground area would be halved from 100 square feet to 50, to make room for the splash pad. Coun. Jim Boldt however wondered why there was a cost associated with the water itself since the town owned it and the means of its production. “It’s our water,” said Boldt. “It’s water that belongs to the people of the town… is it not a paper cost?” Chief Administrative Officer John deRosenroll however pointed out that there was still a cost attached to producing the water and running it through the treatment plant. “We all agree that nothing is free,” said deRosenroll, who added that taxpayers could possibly be on the hook for higher water fees if the splash pad water costs are not factored in to the equation. “This is a win-win for the town,” said Boldt.

EMC News - The Grassroots Grannies held their Ride to Turn the Tide fundraiser from Sept. 5 to 7 and made a pit stop for dinner in Perth last week. They started in Kanata and cycled roughly 270 km to raise funds for the Grandmothers To Grandmothers campaign. The cyclists travelled through Almonte, Perth and Merrickville before returning back to Kanata, planning to meet with other granny groups along the way. The fundraiser is part of the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s plight to bring awareness and funding to the grandmothers in Africa who are caring for orphaned children due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa which is leaving children orphaned due to the death of their parents. The campaign seeks to bring awareness and immediate help in the way of housing, food, HIV awareness education, school fees, supplies and grief counselling to grandmothers living in poverty in Africa who are caring for their orphaned grandchildren. The Grassroots Grannies, based in Ottawa, began their cycle tour by leaving from the Bushtuka parking lot in Kanata and heading to Almonte where they were greeted by the Mississippi Grannies group who had a luncheon/ fundraiser planned for them. They continued on their cycle route to the Perth Legion where the Lanark County Grannies had organized a benefit dinner called Pasta In Africa to help support and raise funds towards the cause. A full night of entertainment was also donated by the Valley Brass band of Perth; Mike Wattie, a folk singer from Almonte, and a special surprise performance from a well-known Nova Scotia folk singer, Laura Smith, who also donated her travel and performance to the event. Funds were raised by the Lanark County Grannies through ticket sales to the dinner at $100 each and a silent auction with all items donated by local business and artists in the area.
Grannies is one of 240 groups and approximately 10,000 members across Canada who help raise for the campaign. The group was organized in 2006 in Perth and has grown to roughly 30 members at present. The Perth group holds regular meetings to plan events
such as the Pasta For Africa dinner and to bring awareness and continued support to the campaign. Upcoming events planned by the Lanark County Grannies include a GrannyFest planned for November and an event to recognise World AIDS Day on Dec. 1. If you are interested in join-
ing the Lanark County Grannies, you can contact them by email at lanarkgrannies@ gmail.com or for general in-
formation on the campaign you can visit their website at www.grandmotherscampaign. org. R0011510847_0719

John McKenty pens novel on local history By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
EMC News – History comes alive this weekend as local author John McKenty will at the Book Nook on Gore Street for the release of his fourth novel: Arden Blackburn’s Mail Route – The Early Days at Christie Lake. He’s an avid historian, having taught for years and is now retired from St. John Catholic High School. He has taken his love of history to a new level since retirement and has published three other novels that tell tales of history a little closer to home. His novel about James Brothers Hardware was released in 2008. Now some four years later, his latest novel will hit the shelves, just in time for Christmas. “When I was done (the James Brothers book), George James, (young George) said, ‘John I think there is a story to be told out at Christie Lake,’ and to be honest, I didn’t think much of it right away because any community has its memories, but not necessarily a story, one that has a thread that runs through it.” Donna Walsh (historian for Christie Lake), James and McKenty began to visit with some of the people at Christie Lake, like Irene Kirkham, Terry Brooks and Alan Jordan – just some of the residents who lived there. The more people they spoke with, it became clear to McKenty there was a common thread – the mailman. “The story I take is up to about 1967,” he said. “One of the threads that connects Christie Lake in a unique way is the man called Arden Blackburn. He delivered mail
along the north shore of the road, beginning in Glen Tay, through Brooke, out to Highway 7, over the Lanark Highway and back to the lake… R.R. # 4, Perth. For close to 50 years, Arden was the mailman. “Everybody knew Arden Blackburn at the lake… they came to tell time by Arden because he was so punctual that they didn’t need to set their watches.” Over time, Blackburn became more than a mailman to the community. He not only brought them mail, but medicine, groceries and clothing. They came to rely on him for a lot of things, McKenty said. “Not just one person or one family, but everyone along the route was the same,” he said. From the early days, the community at the lake was very close knit. That spirit of generosity was best felt through Arden. “He embodied that spirit at the lake of a willingness to help each other and he was very well known for almost 50 years folks relied on him quite a bit.” The book is “really his journey,” he said. A family who helped shape the lake was that of Thomas and Margaret Marks who had seven boys and two girls; six of the boys ended up in show business. “In the early days of Vaudeville, they were one of the best known travelling troupes. They would bring their troupes to the lake, build sets and party,” he said. “It was very much the Marks family who put their name on the lake… they loved baseball, they loved performing and they loved the lake,
and those things permeate the community right from day one.” McKenty shared a story about the Marks brothers, who liked to party. They owned about two miles of waterfront and during a poker game, “they’d get all liquored up and lose an island. “No one knew if they really had any title to it or actually owned it, but they would give away land… they were a dominate family at the head of the lake.” At the foot of the lake was the Noonan family and the post office was located in their home. “That’s where a large crowd would gather to wait for Arden to come with the mail,” he said. What you learn about history in school, we learn about figures who are larger than life; we don’t tend to think about the person next door – the one who pumps our gas, the lady behind the county at the general store, noted the history buff. “All of us have a part to play in creating history,” McKenty said. “But these are the people who are in my books… mailmen, mechanics, hardware store owners – people who live on your street, who you may know.” From 12 to 3 p.m. McKenty will be at The Book Nook to sign copies of this latest novel. Leslie Wallack, owner of the store that has recently moved down the street to a larger space, says she’s got a waiting list right now of people who want to purchase the book. “John’s books are very popular with the locals,” she
said. “There is a lot of interest right now and I have several in reserve. His other books are also still selling. John makes non-fiction history fun to read.” That’s the hope of McKenty… that when people pick up his books, they will want to read them from start to finish because they are story books, not just a dry documentary. “I think there will be some eyebrows raised,” McKenty said of some of the vignettes that have been captured through words and more than 150 vintage photographs of Blackburn’s story. “The challenge is for someone outside of Perth to pick up this book and want to read it to find out what happened to Arden the mailman. “I think it meets that challenge and it’s readable and

OPINION
Perth Courier - Your Community Newspaper
Amalgamate school systems EMC Editorial – With Bill 115, the Orwellian-named Putting Students First Act of 2012, Premier Dalton McGuinty has managed to let down most of the people all of the time. Teachers across the province, and here at home in Lanark County and Leeds-Grenville, are in “mourning” over the loss of their right to strike for the next two years and the removal of their collective bargaining rights. School boards are also feeling let down, believing that the provincial government did not think that they could be trusted not to sell the farm at fire sale prices to the teachers’ unions. Students and parents are frustrated that their sports teams and after-school clubs may be curtailed or cancelled this season. Already, elementary schools in Perth (Stewart School) and Tay Valley Township (Glen Tay Public School) have drawn a hard line on not allowing teachers to lead these clubs. While the secondary school teachers union in this area has not instructed its members to work-to-rule, seeing the action taken by their elementary brothers and sisters, it may be simply a matter of time before the other shoe drops. But again, teachers are frustrated because they love the kids, and love to teach. They get no extra praise or pay – and often get extra work and guff – for their after-hours efforts. In all of this, has the provincial government learned nothing from, say, the Green Energy Act of 2009, when it allowed wind-power generated windmills to be built willy-nilly around the province, without consultation from local municipalities or citizens? It is now having to go back and retroactively look at these turbines and solar panels and make nice with the municipalities under a new point system for contracts under the feedin-tariff system. We understand that the province is in dire financial straits. Is it the fault of the province’s teachers and doctors that we are in the mess we are in, rivaling Greece in our money woes? Not completely. After years of grief under the Mike Harris and Ernie Eves Tories, it must have been nice to wake up in the fall of 2003 and feel that one had a government that “got it,” when it came to hospitals and schools. Admittedly, years of labour peace in Ontario’s schools reigned, and Liberals liked to crow that “we build hospitals, the Tories close
them.” Ah, but then the bills started coming due, and the party was over. Just as only Richard Nixon could have gone to China, in a more sinister way, it only went to underline just how hard up of a havenot province we have become that it took a Liberal government – albeit with Progressive Conservative support – to strip teachers of their right to strike, something that Harris and Eves may have mused publicly about, but never had the nerve to pull off, even with their majorities at Queen’s Park. Yes, the gravy train was unsustainable, but should we fault the teachers for taking advantage of a good deal while it was going? In a way, they would have been foolish not to. They got a good deal and showed their gratitude by stumping for the Liberals in 2007 and 2011. Now they feel let down, betrayed and bullied. We are somewhat amazed that no one, in all of this, appears to be looking at merging the public school system with the Catholic one. Clearly, if the Liberals are prepared to make tough choices by robbing teachers of their right to strike, why stop there? Seriously, there is clearly a case to be made that there is duplication in the system, with 2.3 million Catholic ratepayers diverting their money to support Catholic education for 600,000 students, according to the Kingston Whig-Standard. Liberal ministers like Madeleine Meilleur, who stated in 2007 that Catholic education was enshrined in the constitution, a talking point reiterated recently by current Education Minister Laurel Broten, simply doesn’t hold water. Yes, it is in the constitution. That doesn’t mean it is right, here in 2012. And changing it does not mean the end of the world, opening a constitutional Pandora’s box. In the late 1990s, another Liberal premier, Brian Tobin of Newfoundland, put the issue to his people – to create one public school system, instead of the patch-work system of various faith denominations running schools across the province. Keeping this system had been important to Newfoundlanders when they joined us in 1949 – by the late 1990s, it was time to change it. If Newfoundland and Labrador, then a have-not province too, can do it, why can’t we?

Ode to George EMC Lifestyle - I have a problem. (“Just one?” you might ask. Yes, for today.) This will come as no surprise to those who know me, but I am here to tell you – to admit, actually – that I am addicted to my smartphone. I have named my phone “George” or, more precisely, “Mr. George BlackBerry, Executive Assistant.” He has been with me for about a year and a half and, quite honestly, I don’t know how I managed without him. I am self-employed and often work from home, but I also attend a lot of meetings and teach part-time. I used to fret about the e-mails and calls I was missing when away from my desk. Now George quietly and efficiently collects all the messages for me and I can peek at them when the opportunity arises. Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words, right? I like how I can record things pictorially for future reference (or to record neat events, such as when Sir Lovesalot the knight came through town). And that’s not all! Sometimes, during meetings (or in social gatherings) a question will arise that no one can answer. George Googles it, and voila! Instant information. There’s more! Texting and messaging as a quick way to get info or provide answers is awesome. (It’s also handy for asking Groom-boy to get milk on his way home.) When the mood or an idea strikes me, I can write using

Past Deadline George, and frequently do. I wrote most of this here column on George. Amazing! Like any good executive assistant, he alerts me to appointments, reminds me to do things and can provide directions. George will even wake me up! So that’s the good stuff. What about the bad? Well, for one thing, I just can’t seem to put George away in case I miss something. I leave the house, he leaves with me. I go on vacation, so does he. (Remember me complaining that I was having trouble relaxing during my vacation? Unplug, dummy!) George doesn’t make coffee, but there could be an app for that. Also, sometimes smartphones just make things a little weird. The other night, for example, my bestie and her kids were over for the evening. She, Groom-boy and I got talking about using our phones to scan QR codes – you know,

those little squares you see on ads that can link you to websites? (No, they’re not modern versions of Rorschach inkblot tests – at least not as far as I know.) I downloaded an app so I could do the QR thing, too. Then we all played with our phones. When toddlers do this it’s called parallel play – playing beside one another, not with one other. (My app wouldn’t work, so it became a mission for me while the other two moved on to something called “Having An Actual Conversation With A Person About Things.”) Intriguing. I might try the conversation thing next week. I really knew I had a problem, though, when one evening I couldn’t access the Interwebs with my phone and started to feel agitated. There was even a geography question that needed Googling while Groom-boy and I watched a movie. Gasp! What to do? Look in an atlas? They say that when you try doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result, it’s a sign of insanity. Still no Interwebs. Click. Still no Interwebs. Click…. Groom-boy intervened. “Put George away and try again in the morning.” I backed away from the smartphone. George was fine the next day. Apparently he needs a holiday sometimes, like any employee, and I need to learn to unplug. Maybe I should take up running….

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that got to do Students plan for university info sessions with the price of gas? Together
To the Editor, A good friend saved up to travel to England and visit historical places he had read about and now wanted to actually experience. He rented a car; learned how to drive on the wrong side of the road, visited various castles and wished to end up his vacation with a ride through the famous Sherwood Forest. He later recounted how he was very disappointed. He said he drove through this skimpy forest in what seemed like a few minutes and still wonders how on earth the villain Prince John had such a hard time finding Robin Hood and his band of noisy, merry men. I recall this anecdote every time I hear some bonehead in Europe telling Canadians that it is about time we started paying the same high price for gas that he has to. Look at a map, my friend, and tell me

how many Sherwood Forests you can fit in my part of Ontario alone. I raise the same finger to those ivory tower environmentalists in Canada who appear in the media repeating this mantra of we should be paying more for gas. With what?

Spartan Scene is back to school continue to be updated in upcoming articles. The first dance of the 20122013 school year was held last Thursday night. The annual Grade 9 party took place beforehand, an occasion which invites all freshmen students to stay after school for a pizza dinner and fun activities, as well as free admission to the dance. As per usual, the event was a tremendous success,
harboring students from all grades to come and show off their dancing skills. University and college presentations have already begun for graduating students. If you wish to attend a presentation of a school you are interested in, a sign-up sheet can be found in student services where you must add your name to the list at least one day prior to the date of the presentation.

Cooking left unattended is the most common type of cooking fire. Watch what you heat. Always stay in the kitchen while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cooking.
Coun. Beth Peterkin was concerned that supporting these two projects would impede another local solar project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We already have a solar project that is waiting for entry into the system,â&#x20AC;? Peterkin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am not willing to do anything to circumvent this. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to give precedence to anyone else,â&#x20AC;? when another project is waiting in the wings. Chief administrative officer John deRosenroll later noted that supporting the two businesses â&#x20AC;&#x153;would not have any affect on the Darwin Farm project.â&#x20AC;? Peterkin later stressed that she wished to seek consultation with EcoPerth on this matter since â&#x20AC;&#x153;they have never steered us wrongâ&#x20AC;? on environmental matters, and because â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is coming out of the blue.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Jim Graff wondered if PSN had contacted any downtown businesses about utilizing rooftops there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not currently talking to anyone in the downtown core,â&#x20AC;? said Clark. But, if one â&#x20AC;&#x153;were to put up their handsâ&#x20AC;? they would be willing to talk to them, she said, adding that some solar panels are being installed on historic buildings in southwestern Ontario, without taking away from the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old-fashioned look. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to build infrastructure thatâ&#x20AC;Ś causes consternation within the town,â&#x20AC;? Clark said.

EMC Business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Town of Perth will be supporting two local businesses as they try to access a provincial program to support solar panels. Melissa Clark, vice president of sales operations for the Solar Power Network (PSN), which has offices in Windsor and Toronto, was before Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11. Perth is just one of 70-some municipalities she is trying to visit, to drum up support for local businesses who have erected her companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s panels. New rules concerning solar panels were announced on Aug. 10, and she has been criss-crossing the province since then to meet an Oct. 1 deadline for applications. PSN has already installed two industrial rooftop solar panels for local businesses, specifically, Wills Transfer Limited, at 10 Industrial Rd., and Cord King at 2040 Rogers Rd. The company leases the rooftop with its business partners and then leads the application process with the government to take part in the feed-in-tariff (FIT) program through Ontario Power Generation (OPG). Council was given the choice of a blanket motion to support rooftop power initiatives, or a more specific motion to support the two Perthbased panels, so as they could accumulate enough â&#x20AC;&#x153;priority pointsâ&#x20AC;? to qualify for the FIT contracts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(And) if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get these points, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the contract,â&#x20AC;? said Clark. The FIT program seeks to financially support the construction and operation of wind generated power, solar power and other â&#x20AC;&#x153;greenâ&#x20AC;? technologies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (the motion) does not impinge on planning, permits, et cetera,â&#x20AC;? said Clark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything we bring to the table has to go through the normal processes we would have to go through.â&#x20AC;? The process was brought in following fallout from the Ontario Green Energy Act of 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things (like wind turbines) were being built in communities without any con-
nection to the communities at all,â&#x20AC;? said Clark. This new FIT contract process was meant â&#x20AC;&#x153;to reopen the connection between the developers and the community.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Jim Boldt recalled a speech he had heard delivered by Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak, in which the opposition leader said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;would cancel the FIT program as we know it,â&#x20AC;? Boldt recalled Hudak saying at last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association of Municipalities of Ontario meeting in Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What would happen if this program was cancelled?â&#x20AC;? queried Boldt. Clark pointed out that her company has binding, 20-year contracts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There would be a massive lawsuitâ&#x20AC;? if it was cancelled, she said, with 300 orders in her company making their way through the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I, as an everyday person, am confused with the information being put forward about power,â&#x20AC;? said Boldt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I support clean energyâ&#x20AC;Ś and I support the green movement,â&#x20AC;? but he wondered if increased support for green energy would drive hydro rates up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The duty of solarâ&#x20AC;Ś (is) it produces at optimal cycles, when we need it most,â&#x20AC;? said Clark, with this previous hot summer being a good example, when energy (and air conditioning) demands are highest, but also when the sun is the brightest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We produce as much as we can,â&#x20AC;? she added.

On June 9th Algoma University, in Sault Ste. Marie, ON, held its spring convocation, and awarded a Bachelor of Science (Biology) - cum laude - to Adrianna Rosetta Louise Bruni, formerly of Kemptville, ON. After leaving Kemptville in 1999, Adrianna attended St. Paul School and graduated as class valedictorian (2003). At St. Basil Secondary Adrianna won many academic honours, while playing four years of senior basketball. In 2008 she was a rare winner of both league MVP and the Referee’s Award, the only such winner in at least two decades. She became the first player, male or female, in the long history of Sault Ste. Marie high school basketball, to win two OFSSA medals - a gold in 2005 and a bronze in 2008, which she shared with her sister, Corina. She distinguished herself as a complete player - scoring, passing and rebounding, skills she began developing at the Knights of Columbus basketball camps at Holy Cross School. She is a Sault Ste. Marie Medal of Merit winner. Adrianna is a four year recipient of the CJ Sanders Academic Scholarship. She received 3 Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) undergraduate student research awards as well as the R. N. Tagore Scholarship for top thesis. She has been awarded the Alexander Graham Bell NSERC Scholarship and the Master’s Entrance Scholarship from the University of Windsor. She will now pursue a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences. Adrianna thanks her parents, Rico Bruni and the late Judi Chajkowski, her North Grenville family, Grampa Ed Chajkowski (late Nancy) (Marjory), aunts and uncles - Cathi and Ray Finley, Salli and Lindsey Selleck, Tim and Laura Chajkowski, and her cousins, for their love and support. She recalls with pleasure the early encouragement she received while attending Holy Cross School, especially from Mr. Glofcheskie and Mrs. vanGerwen, and Holy Cross Church, from the late Father Lynett and Father Gus.
Congratulations, Adrianna! Ipsa scientia potestas est!

Kerr Macey Eileen “Maccie” Kerr Mom passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, in hospital, Perth, on Sunday, September 16, 2012. Macey Eileen Kerr, of Rideau Ferry, at the age of 80 years. Beloved wife of the late Clifford Kerr, who predeceased her in 2005, and predeceased by her parents William and Emily Peters, (née Felskie). Mom will be sadly missed by her children; Phillip (Theresa), of Port Elmsley, Pauline (John), McElroy, of Lombardy, Brian (Joanne), of Merrickville, Cliff (Sandy), of Smiths Falls, Margo (Brian) Hunter, of Portland, Lorena, of Ottawa, Randy (Corey), and Tim (Susan), all of Jasper, Peter (Lynn), and Barry (Karen), all of Toledo, Julie (Rick) Wiseman, of Smiths Falls, and Martha (Narvin), of Port Elmsley. Cherished Grandma of 30 grandchildren, and 10 greatgrandchildren. Also left to mourn her loss are her surviving siblings; Dorothy (late Earl) Anderson, of Bowmanville, Ken (Evelyn) McKenzie, of Perth, Alwood (Joyce) Peters, and Stanley (late Anne) Peters, both of Alberta, Lois (late Jimmy) Lackey, of Westport, Merlin (late Merle) McPhee, of Port Elmsley, Keitha (Gerry) Majaury, of Dewitt’s Corners, Elva (Murray) Larmon, of Kingston, and Calvin (Susan) Peters, of Lombardy. Macey was also predeceased by her siblings; Livinna, Jule, Helen, Edna, Grace, and Alvin. Friends were received at the O’Dacre Family Funeral Home, 15 Victoria Street, Perth, on Monday, September 17, from 2-4 p.m., and 7-9 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at St. Philip Neri Catholic Church, Toledo, on Tuesday, September 18, at 11:00 a.m., thence to interment at St. Philip Neri Catholic Cemetery. To honour our Mom’s wishes, donations to the Ontario Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Catholic Women’s League, would be appreciated.

Passed away peacefully, with her family by her side, on Sunday September 16, 2012. Pre-deceased by her beloved husband John, her baby son David and her adoring parents Joseph and Essie (Moulton) Currie. Loving Mother to Debbie (Joey) Gorman, Cindy Bell (Dan Angell), Michael (Tina) Rosborough and Jo Anne Rosborough; cherished Nanny to Nicky, Shelley (Chris), Lindz (Nathan), Allan (Apryl), Alicia (Jason), Ryan, Danielle and Leanne; proud great grandmother to Cassidy, Maizie, Violet and Aynslee; beloved sister of Josie (Gerry Baker) and Dan; dear sisterin-law of Eleanor (Bill Blackie), and Anna Stocker; caring Aunt to many nieces and nephews; loved by many special cousins; devoted friend to Vivian, Muriel, Kathleen, Audrey and Mary; and treasured by Monty. She was a gift to this earth—a loving, compassionate and generous soul. She survived many hardships, and supported her family through all of theirs. She nursed us through scratched knees, broken bones and broken hearts. Together, she and Dad helped anyone who came to their door and were paid back many times over with friendships that have lasted a lifetime. Mom was “forever young” at heart. She grooved to Mick, Rod, Elvis, Queen, the Beatles and Johnny Reid and thrilled to hear any Celtic music, fife and drums and bag pipes. She loved dance and figure skating and was thrilled when she met her favourite—Toller. Mom was one of the original “motor cycle mommas” who was delighted to see so many women ride their own bikes today. She was a child of the earth, who got so much pleasure from her flower gardens, fish pond and all the birds and deer who came into her yard. She loved animals and could not bear to see them hurt or neglected. Mom was our moral compass who guided us through life’s challenges with patience, compassion, wisdom and love. Her inner strength never failed to amaze us. She beat cancer but could not win the battle against her latest illness. It is true that “Life is not fair”. How could anyone so perfect have been challenged so much during her lifetime? The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the caring staff at Kingston General Hospital, in particular Dr. Kunyong Xu, whose compassion for his patients and their families is extraordinary. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair and Son Funeral Home at 112 Beckwith Street N, Smiths Falls on Thursday, September 20, 2012 from 6 to 8 p.m. and again on Friday from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. The family would like to invite those that are able, to a celebration of her life at 208 Pine Ridge Drive, 9th Line of Beckwith, Blacks Corners on Friday at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers please make donations in her name to the Canadian Cancer Society and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. She made this world a better place and will now do the same in heaven where she will be re-united with her loved ones, but not forgotten on earth.

“WE REMEMBER”
SEPTEMBER
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
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”.

BILL McLENAGHAN June 26, 1943–September 20, 2009 I can’t forget that fateful day, You had to leave, you went away. A sadness filled me up inside, Emotions that I could not hide. Tears they came, sadness too, All my emotions just for you. Time will heal so I was told But time could never fill this hole. Here in my heart there is a place You’re always there, keeping me safe. It’s filled with love and happy times It’s never dark, your light it shines. In Heaven now you do reside, To watch over me with love and pride. I know one day we will meet again, until we do just know how much I miss you, and LOVE you Always and forever. Very sadly missed by Aurea, Donna and Sierra

WHITE, Anna V. (nee South) – Sept. 11, 1935Sept. 19, 2011. Those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear. I’ll never forget the love we shared Bill
One year has passed since that sad day, When the one we loved was called away. God took her home, it was His will, But in our hearts she liveth still. Pamela, Cynthia, Francine, Penelope and their families
HICKEY, Nathan – Aug. 14, 1987-Sept. 19, 2009. You never said “I’m leaving” You never said goodbye, You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why. A million times we’ve needed you, A million times we’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, That no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God took you home. Love Dad, Mom, Tasha, Nicole Natalee, Karson and Denver

CHANT, Ronald – 1925- 2002 He Only Takes the Best God saw that he was getting tired, A cure was not to be. So He put His arms around him, And whispered, “Come with Me.” With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer, And saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us. He only takes “the best”. Lovingly remembered by his Family 10 years ago on September 22, 2002
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, 1905 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

Interval House may seek United Way support on $59,000 deficit Every time you open the door, there are many groups looking for funds.â&#x20AC;? Heather Whiting, Interval Houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteer and fundraising coordinator, revealed to council that her group is in discussions with the United Way of Lanark County about coming in under their umbrella. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to continue to talk to them,â&#x20AC;? said Whiting. Last week, Smiths Falls Mayor Dennis Staples promised to bring the matter to Lanark County Council on Oct. 10, something that was supported by Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deputy Mayor, John Gemmell, who is also the county warden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are better off making it (this presentation) to county council,â&#x20AC;? Gemmell said. After his career in the Canadian Navy, Gemmell worked for many years in local law enforcement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made too many trips to Interval House at 3 a.m.,â&#x20AC;? said Gemmell of his police days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are a bright spot in a dark situation.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Judy Brown also revealed that the need for the services provided by Interval House are still all too neces-
Perth police board wants lower Ontario-wide cop costs By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Perth police services board is joining the chorus of voices urging the province to keep policing costs in line. The Ontario Association of Police Services Boards (OAPSB) urged its members last month to petition the provincial government to reduce policing costs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is any way at cutting costs, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m for it,â&#x20AC;? said PSB member Eric Devlin at the Thursday, Sept. 13 meeting before the unanimous vote to support the OAPSB motion. Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deputy Mayor John Gemmell, himself a former law enforcement officer, noted that the rising costs were not entirely the fault of the Ontario Provincial Police but, rather, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the big sevenâ&#x20AC;? police forces in the province, like those in Ottawa, Toronto, and Peel Region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They chase each other by a dollar,â&#x20AC;? said Gemmell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (the motion) is academic,â&#x20AC;? but he supported it nonetheless. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a problem with this (motion),â&#x20AC;? he added.

The next Perth police services board meeting will be held on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 3:30 p.m. in the town hall council chambers. The next meeting of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police transition team will be held in the same room on Friday, Sept. 28, starting at 10 a.m.

EMC News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lanark County Interval House is used to dealing with other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal crises. Now it is facing a financial one of its own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are facing a crisis at this point,â&#x20AC;? said Brianne Luckasavitch, public education coordinator for Lanark County Interval House, during a presentation at the Town of Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11. Interval House is facing a budget shortfall of $59,000 because funding from the provincial government is drying up, even with $113,000 in fundraising revenue. Even as these revenues fall, the demand for services increases. According to OPP statistics, the Lanark County detachment received 382 domestic calls in 2009. That number jumped to 426 in 2010, 501 in 2011 and 310 for the first six months of this year. Of those 310 calls in 2012, only 49 charges were laid and 80 per cent of those charged were men. Interval House itself re-
ceived 1,606 calls for help in 2009. Those calls jumped to 2,259 for the 2011-2012 period. The organization, the only one of its kind designed to help women and their children flee from violent domestic situations in the whole county, has been cutting back significantly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our administration is reduced to almost nothing,â&#x20AC;? said Luckasavitch, with overall staff hours being reduced as well. As such, Interval House members have been shuttling across the county seeking support from all of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipalities to either support a motion for funding from Lanark County Council, or to make supporting Interval House a line item in their annual local budgets. They are seeking $5,000 per year from Perth, Smiths Falls and Carleton Place, as well as $3,500 from smaller municipalities like Beckwith Township, Tay Valley Township and Montague Township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It (your situation) does not go unnoticed,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Jim Boldt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The statistics you showed tonight, it is unnervingâ&#x20AC;Ś (But) there is only so much money to go around.

Water infrastructure improvements mean no water rate rise mayor’s fears that there are advanced alarms to let staff know, at any time, if there are problems with the system. For the past few months, the town has been making water during the day and cycling it out at night. A staffer has been keeping an eye on the automatic system overnight to see if all of the fail safe technologies are switching on and off as required. Coun. Judy Brown wondered if, as in some other municipalities, the plant could be monitored from a BlackBerry, but she was told by Machan that the Perth plant is not at that stage of technology as yet, though he noted that staff at Smiths Falls’ new water treatment plant do have access to a laptop which they can open up off-site, to see a problem right away. Town treasurer Lang Britchford said that these moves by public works were paying off for taxpayers. “We can defer increasing
any water or sewer rates going in to 2013,” said Britchford. “This will be three years without any water or sewer
increases” because of the efficiencies, for which he commended Machan. “They have been able to
identify efficiencies,” said Britchford. “And these are not just one-timers. We will be able to enjoy this.”

EMC News – Town water will soon get the reverse teabag treatment. The town’s water treatment plant is due to start using a “Geotube” starting in the spring of next year, with a request for proposals budget of $350,000. “It’s a reverse tea bag system where you put dirty water into a bag” and, afterwards, good water goes out, and bad water and solids remain inside the bag, said Grant Machan, the Town of Perth’s director of environmental services, during the town’s committee-of-the-whole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11. Machan was racing through a long list of improvements and changes to the town’s infrastructure. About 39 manholes have been covered up as part of an ongoing program, at a cost of about $43,000. The savings, however, meaning that 45 new homes can be built because of the water capacity that has been saved. Thanks to using CCTV (close circuit television) technology along 4,000 metres of sewers, at a cost of $18,000, the town was able to re-line about 13 catchment areas in the system, meaning that 96 new homes can now be built because of the rescued water capacity. “I’d like to see this continued on in the next year,” said Machan. He pointed out that the Highway 7 corridor at Dufferin Street has “a very leaky
system out there.” The sports field near Perth and District Collegiate Institute and on the north side of the canal basin were also areas of concern, since they were all below the water table. Machan also reported that he had authorized that $50,000 unspent from the manhole sealing project be put towards the sewer lining project. The night shift and the lead hand at the water treatment plant have also been eliminated as part of the ongoing automation of the system. “Perhaps I am a little old fashioned (but) the thought of not having our water treatment plant staffed 24/7 has me a little anxious,” admitted Mayor John Fenik, who thought that the night shift elimination was upcoming. “(Well), you’ve been experiencing it for six months without knowing it,” laughed Machan, since the shift had already been eliminated. “The mayor is always the last to know,” joked Fenik. Machan did allay the

Stewart Park Festival 2012 runs $1,300 deficit But popular annual event also raises $4,000 more in revenues than projected By DESMOND DEVOY desmond.devoy@metroland.com
R0011626446_0920
EMC Entertainment – This year’s Stewart Park Festival ran a deficit of $1,300, which will be paid out of reserves. Currently, the festival has about $7,000 in reserves but coordinator intern Rachel Morgan said she would like to keep $10,000 in the reserve fund, just in case. Morgan released her post-
festival report at the Town of Perth’s committee-of-thewhole meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 11, in which she outlined the successes and challenges of the July 20 to 22 event. Morgan noted that the camping package at Last Duel Park raised about $545 in revenue which was “excellent for the first year” especially considering that it was “created less than a month before”
the festival. It also helped that she was able to avail of grant money to keep the project in the black. The shuttle bus between the camp ground and the park was also a hit, but ended up costing about $771. There were 200 volunteers for the three-day event, who contributed a grand total of 1,500 hours of service. The festival also raised $4,000

more than was planned, through $945 from the Rainbow Run, and CD sales were $1,500 more than expected. There was a cost over-run of $100 on buttons, but this was thanks in part to an investment in a button machine, which will pay off in years to come. There was also a cost overrun of $500 on volunteer shirts, but the organizers spent
$300 less on brochures – even though this meant that they ran out of brochures faster. Security also cost $100 more and organizers faced $700 more than anticipated on tent rentals. Morgan told the committee that she will be working on grants to extend her position at the town, and to bring in more well-known bands for next year’s event.

Registered Disability Savings Plans now more ďŹ&#x201A;exible
Under a variety of proposals in the 2012 federal budget, Canadians with Registered Disability Savings Plans (RDSPs) will have greater ďŹ&#x201A;exibility to make plan withdrawals; the list of those eligible to be plan holders has also been temporarily expanded. Here is a brief list of the RDSP changes. Plan holders Before those changes, when an RDSP was ďŹ rst established for an adult disabled beneďŹ ciary, the holder of the plan had to be the disabled beneďŹ ciary, unless that person was contractually incompetent, in which case the holder had to be their guardian or legal representative. Under the new measures, between now and December 31, 2016, certain family members (a spouse, common-law partner, or parent of the disabled individual) may become RDSP plan holders for an adult whose capacity to enter into a contract is in doubt. Reduction in the clawback amount to make it proportional Under the previous rules, when an amount was withdrawn from an RDSP, all the Canada Disability Savings Grants (CDSGs) and Canada Disability Savings Bonds (CDSBs) paid into an RDSP in the preceding 10 years had to be repaid to the government. A proportional repayment rule is now in place that applies when a withdrawal is made from an RDSP in 2014 or later. For every $1 withdrawn from an RDSP, $3 of any CDSGs or CDSBs paid into the plan in the 10 years preceding the withdrawal must be repaid, up to the maximum of the assistance holdback amount â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is generally deďŹ ned as the total amount of bonds and grants paid into an RDSP within a particular 10-year period.
Manage Your Money
Increased maximum annual withdrawals Currently, when government contributions (CDSGs and CDSBs) were greater than personal plan contributions, the maximum amount that can be withdrawn from the plan each year is determined by the Lifetime Disability Payment Formula (LDAP Formula). Beginning in 2014, the withdrawal limit will increase to the greater amount determined by the LDAP Formula and 10% of the fair market value of plan assets at the beginning of a calendar year. Increased minimum annual withdrawals Currently, when personal plan contributions exceed government contributions, withdrawals must begin in the year the beneďŹ ciary turns 60 and they can be as little as $1 a year. Beginning in 2014, beneďŹ ciaries 60 or older will be required to withdraw at least the amount determined by the LDAP Formula. Rollover of RESP eligible investment income Beginning in 2014, income from investments held within a Registered Educational Savings Plan (RESP) for a child with a disability can be rolled over to that childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s RDSP on a tax-deferred basis. All Canada Education Savings Grants (CESGs) and Canada Learning Bonds (CLBs)* must be repaid and the RESP must be terminated. The amount applied to the RDSP will be ineligible to receive CDSGs. Extended termination date Currently, if an RDSP beneďŹ ciary becomes ineligible for the federal Disability Tax Credit (DTC), their plan has to be terminated

by the end of the following year. Beginning in 2014, a plan holder can elect to extend the termination date (with medical certiďŹ cation) if it seems likely the beneďŹ ciaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition will once again become DTC-eligible in the foreseeable future. To more fully understand what these RDSP changes mean to you and your beneďŹ ciary, seek advice from your professional advisor. *The Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) and Canada Learning Bond (CLB) are provided by the Government of Canada. CLB eligibility depends on family income levels. Some provinces make education savings grants available to their residents. The Canada Disability Savings Grant (CDSG) and the Canada Disability Savings Bond (CDSB) are provided by the Government of Canada. Eligibility depends on family income levels.

United Way kicks off annual campaign with Perth breakfast EMC News – The start of the annual fall fund raising campaign for the United Way in Lanark County dates back to 1987. Over the next 25 years, the community came together each fall to help those in need. “Last year, our new theme ‘Change starts here’ marked a different phase of our commitment to the community,” said Johann Ramsaran, board chair. “In many ways those community members who started it all did indeed make a change to the community. Our 2012 Annual Fall Campaign marks 25 years of working hard - working to support our friends, our neighbours, our community - through our Member Agencies - who reach out to our seniors, our youth, our disadvantaged in the county, to help them to a better life.” To celebrate the opening of the campaign this fall, United Way Lanark County will be hosting Kick-off Breakfasts in Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, and Mississippi Mills, with the Perth Breakfast taking place on Monday Sept. 24 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. hosted by O’Reilly’s Pub & Restaurant, 43 Gore St. East in Perth, who
is sponsoring the breakfast. “These breakfasts are a chance for us to let the business community know how important their contributions are to the community, through the support they give with both employee and corporate donations to the campaign,” says Sarah Bridson, Executive Director of the United Way. “The idea of having individual breakfasts in each major town of the county is to allow local employers and employees to participate in this year’s 25th Anniversary Kick-off.” Each breakfast will feature brief presentations on the work of the United Way Lanark County, as well as testimonials from some of those who benefit from the help provided by the 16 member agencies of the United Way Lanark County. “Hearing from those who are helped is often the most important and moving portion of these meetings,” says Ramsaran. “It allows community members to see who and what their donations support.” Everyday hero This year, community members are being urged to become an Everyday Hero.
“For a donation equal to $1 per day, you have the opportunity to make a real difference in your community,” said Ramsaran. “For just $1 per day, you can improve lives and make our community stronger, and for $1 per day, you can be an Everyday Hero! The easiest way to do that is by making pay roll donations at your place of work, by going on our website, and signing up to be an Everyday Hero, or by calling our office at 613-253-9074.” “We are really pleased that O’Reilly’s are sponsoring our breakfast this year,” says Bridson. “We just need community members to let us know they will be coming by either calling 613-253-9074 or send an e-mail to info@lanarkunitedway.com. To help defray costs, we are asking for a $5 donation towards the breakfast. We hope as many community members as possible turn out to help us celebrate the start of the campaign.” For further information, or to RSVP, please contact the United Way Lanark County office at 613- 253-9074 or via e-mail at info@lanarkunitedway.com.

Families had built along the riverbanks and planted rice crops which are now all gone. Many villages are completely covered by water and can’t be seen.” Now that ShelterBox is on the ground in Niger, it is hoped that word about the crisis may be more widely spread, Landry noted. Right now, the Canadian government will match every dollar raised to deliver aid in Niger. For every eligible dollar donated by Canadians to the ShelterBox Malian Refugee Crisis Appeal up to Sept. 30, the Canadian Government will set aside an equivalent dollar for the Sahel Crisis Matching Fund, which will be allocated to humanitarian organizations working in the region and will be administered by the Canadian International Development Agency. “The fact that the government is matching funds indicates the severity of the crisis,” Landry said. “The matching funds will not go to buy a matching ShelterBox, but it will dollar for dollar buy more food, more water, more essentials for the people in Niger.” ShelterBox has provided shelter, warmth, and dignity to thousands of people following more than 180 disasters in

EMC News – Sue Landry, a Rotary Club of Perth member, has recently accepted the position of ShelterBox Canada Ambassador for Lanark County. She is trying to raise as much money for this cause as possible during the month of September. “The government will match every dollar raised with aid going to Niger,” she said. Landry has already raised several hundred dollars at the Perth Fair where a ShelterBox tent was displayed. Her employer, Crain and Schooley Insurance Brokers also recently held a “Denim Day” with all proceeds going to this worthy cause. The Rotary Club of Perth, where Landry has been a member for the last seven years, will also be donating $1,000 to ShelterBox this month, she said. “This is enough to buy one box which will provide basic shelter for an extended family of up to 10 members,” she said. One of the largest deployments by ShelterBox was to the earthquake in Haiti in 2010 where almost 30,000 boxes were delivered. “There is no perceived major disaster; no Japan, no Haiti. But there is one right now in West Africa and it’s not yet being picked up on by national media so very few people know about it,” she said. The entire Sahel region of West Africa is facing a serious crisis, as an estimated 18.7 million people have been affected by food insecurity, malnutrition and widespread displacement. In Niger, these issues have been compounded by massive flooding as well as an influx of refugees fleeing conflict in neighboring Mali. The floods that struck Niger in August were the worst the country has seen in nearly 100 years. ShelterBox Response Team member Mike Freeman spoke from Niger. “The River Niger in Niamey has breached its banks, spreading up to 200 meters

Blue Wings post home-opening win in front of full house By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
EMC Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Perth Jr. B Blue Wings posted an impressive 11-3 home-opening win over the Almonte Thunder in Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League play Friday night in front of about 300 fans. Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sean McGillivary, Blair Barr and Mike Smyth had two goals apiece to lead the scoring. Singles came from Andrew Davis, Riley
Kane, Ryan Dimillo, Austin Lamonte and Brett Madigan. Kane and Madigan also notched hat tricks of helpers apiece. Perth led 3-2 and 8-2 at the period breaks. It was shared duties in the crease with Jeremy Wright and Jason Shaw in nets. Sunday was a different game all together as the Wings were on the losing end of a 7-3 decision, also on home ice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After a big win on Fri-
day, it was a different game Sunday,â&#x20AC;? said Hamish Fraser, head coach and general manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game just sucked the wind out of us. We were all over them, (Ottawa West), but we had some tough breaks and made some defensive mistakes.â&#x20AC;? Fraser says the youth on the team are not used to the step up to the junior level and there were some mental lapses on the ice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opener was a little one-sidedâ&#x20AC;Ś but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

The Blue Wings honoured Joe Publow with a ceremonial puck dropping for their first game of the season. Dave Publow came out onto the ice and dropped the puck to team captains, Shawn McGillvary of the Blue Wings and Ryan Eady of the Almonte Thunder. Joe Publow, an avid Blue Wings supporter, sadly passed away during this past summer. Joe was a big supporter of the team and often raised funds selling 50/50 tickets. He had been attending games since his son David joined the team in 1967. In the wide shot at right is Joe Publowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family members who came out in his honour.

Against the Golden Knights, Ottawa claimed a 4-0 lead after the first period; added two more in the second to Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single marker and sealed the win in the final with two more. Ryan Sterling led the scoring for the Knights with two
goals. Singles came from Damian Armstrong, Corey Waddell-Harris, Connor Gavan-Coady, Ross Fleming and Adam Fulton. Matthew MacDonald had three helpers. Perth goals were credited to McGillivary, Smyth, and Tyler Coyles. Wright and Shaw shared duties in the crease once again. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opener included a celebration of long-time supporter, Joe Publow.
Publow was a 40-year veteran fan of the team, died in the summer. It was the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way to remember the longtime supporter. Dave Publow, son of Joe, dropped the puck for the start of the game. Dave was a member of the Blue Wings squad, first lacing up for the team in 1967. Perth will be in Shawville Friday night at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday, they host Arnprior at 1:45 p.m.

We take about 39; we’d like to have 35 though.” Coaches ask their players to commit five days a week for two months, and if they take too many players along for the ride, many will not see much time on the field. “It’s really not fair to them to take them along if they’re not going to be playing that much, but you hate to cut them,” he said. This is St. John’s sixth year with a football program. Marando says they used to have a spring camp for kids to give them a sense of the game. “Then the Smiths Falls league started and a lot of our
guys are playing spring league there and we have kids in Ottawa too with the Myers (Riders National Cup) program,” Marando says. “When they come to us, a lot of them have now played before so the learning curve isn’t as bad… but we also get a bunch of kids who have never played before. Talent is talent. Some are coming out for the first time and some of them become starters and stars.” About one-seventh of the school’s population is on the field every night for football practice, he says. “We have every shape and size of kid imaginable who comes out to play.

But at the end of each division’s regular league schedule, the winners will meet in a championship bout. The juniors travel to Renfrew, Arnprior, Almonte, Carleton Place and Perth.

EMC Sports - Lanark County football is in full swing, as the openers at local high schools were played Tuesday this week. Today (Sept. 20), Smiths Falls will be in Carleton Place to meet Notre Dame in senior league action, and Renfrew will host the junior RedHawks. Carleton Place will be in Perth at St. John Catholic High School for a senior match at 1 p.m. followed by the junior game at 3 p.m. Perth and District Collegiate Institute will be in Almonte today as well. Defending league champs, the SJCHS Sr. Spartans, along with the junior team, were in full force on the gridiron two weeks before school started, according to junior coach and athletic director, Dominic Marando. “They’re looking pretty good,” he said. “We were in Kingston a couple weeks ago for their ‘Collision at the Causeway’ pre season football event. You go there and run your offense against another team’s defense for 10 plays and you score 10 touchdowns; you still get 10 points. We started off a little slowly but they got pretty decent at the day wore on.”

Fall futsal program league comes to Stewart School EMC Sports - Registration is now open at www.pusc.ca for a fall soccer league. Program includes eight weeks of futsal for $75 from October to the end of November. Games will be held at The Stewart School on Thursday nights from 6 to 7 p.m. for girls, and 7 to 8 p.m. for boys. All will play a 50-minute game with technical instruction and a warm up. All games are refereed by OSA club referees.
Futsal is a fun, fast game which arguably builds soccer skills faster than most other opportunities using a slightly heavier ball on a gym floor. Kids develop touch and skill and decision making skills quickly Perth United would love to expand this program to other ages but need one or two adults to supervise. If you would like to offer your help please email me at president@ pusc.ca or visit www.pusc.ca for more information.

One club, two locations and five great films EMC Entertainment - Film Night International starts its fall season this month with a great line-up of films from around the globe, new digital projection equipment, wider screens, and screenings in both Perth and Smiths Falls. This season’s titles include A Separation, the most acclaimed foreign language film of 2011, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, one of the most popular box office films of 2012, as well as three other festival favourites from Israel, Lebanon and New Zealand. A short animated film courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada is shown before the main feature. “Film Night International brings an interesting selection of critically acclaimed films not always being shown in the more mainstream multiplexes and certainly difficult for people in smaller communities to access,” says FiNI Founder Faye Cunningham. “We are a non-profit organization donating profits from the Full Circle screenings to the Perth Union Library and from the Station Theatre screenings to the Smiths Falls Public Library. In addition to gaining
an insight into another culture, audience members are helping to support an essential community service.” Perth returns to Full Circle Theatre with screenings on Wednesdays at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. beginning Sept. 26. Smiths Falls shows the same film the on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. starting Sept. 27. Passes for all five films are $40 and available at the Perth library for Full Circle screenings and at the Smiths Falls library for Station Theatre screenings. Individual tickets are $10 at the door. Please note that there is limited seating at both venues and the passes are not interchangeable between times and locations. Film Night International Perth is part of the Film Circuit which was founded in 1989 as a division of the Toronto International Film Festival Group. It has more than 180 locations in over 165 communities across Canada. For more information, contact the Perth library at 613 267 1224 or the Smiths Falls library at 613 283 2911.

Perth Autumn Studio Tour turns 20 EMC Events - Time flies doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it? The summer is coming to an end and, much like the farmers in the area, the members of the Perth Autumn Studio Tour are beginning to harvest the fruits of their labours as they gear up for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Studio Tour. Pots are coming out of the kiln, paint is drying on canvases, canoes and furniture are being lacquered, textiles are being taken off the loom, prints off the press, wood bowls off the lathe, photos from the darkroom. The creative energy in the area is peaking. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe, but the Perth Autumn Studio Tour (PAST) is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Started in 1993 by many of the talented artists and craftspeople in the area between Perth and Maberly, the Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history of opening its studio doors has become a highly anticipated and welcome component of Thanksgiving Weekend each year for countless people. The Tour presents an opportunity for the public to visit the unique, beautiful, and creative spaces where these artists work, to talk to
them about their process and inspirations, and to purchase some really outstanding, wellmade, and truly unique work. What is better than knowing where the things in your home, or the gifts you give to others come from â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their history and their makers? Like local food nourishes the body, local art nourishes the soul and both sustain community! Some of the original tour members and studios are still participating today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dunn Sohn, Franc Van Oort, Glenn Gangnier, and Rita Redner (she is on sabbatical this year) have lent the Tour continuity over the years with their wonderful, sought-after turned wood objects, furniture, etchings, and pottery. Other members who have moved to the area and whose studios have joined the Tour in recent years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Catherine Orfald (paintings), Susie Osler (ceramics), Brent Kirkham (canoes), Anne Chambers (ceramics), and Heather Sherratt (weaving) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; contribute further to the breadth and depth of work available. Guests for each studio are selected each year and help to
Support Small Business
keep the Tour fresh and stimulating for everyone. This year the Tour is pleased to have six new guests. Works available will range from exquisite photographic prints by The Print Collective from Ottawa, to beautiful glass window art by Lynette Chubb, paintings by Wayne Williams and Patrick Mason, blown glass by Paul Tjiang, and furniture by woodworker Flook D. Doo. For a slight shift in perspective, and for those who might enjoy a bit of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;edible artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, Chocolatier Ludwig Ratzinger will be a special new guest on Sunday, Oct. 7 at Studio 6. Scott Dobson (fences/garden art), Nick Moore (fine furniture) and Gary Barr (paintings) are popular returning guest artists whose work continues to inspire. A few other special initiatives highlight the community spirit that adds to this tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique flavour. The hugely popular Empty Bowls (founded by potter and previous Tour member Jackie Seaton) returns but will take a slightly different tack this year. Bowls will be available for purchase at each of the participating
potters studios (Chambers, Gangnier, Osler). Proceeds from Empty Bowls will go to food security programs in the Perth area (85 per cent) and to external programs in Canada or abroad with ties to Perth. Explore 5 new art installations at fieldwork â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a surprising, volunteer-run public art project now in its fifth year and located in a field across the road from Studio 2. All the sights and stimulation on this tour can whet the appetite! The hearty and delicious homemade lunch offerings at the Brooke Valley School, at the heart of the tour, is not to be missed and is a favorite place to pause and refuel midway around the Tour. Proceeds
from the lunch help support this small independent school. In celebration of its 20th anniversary, the Tour has a couple of special events in store. Gallery Perth (http://www. galleryperth.com) will be hosting an exhibition â&#x20AC;&#x153;Valley Artâ&#x20AC;? featuring the work of many of the professional artists in the local area. A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;retrospectiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the Perth Autumn Studio Tour will be included in this special show and will include work by current members of PAST and a display archiving the past 20 years. For a taste of the Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s evolution, and the type of work that will be available this year, check it out! An open house is scheduled for Sept. 30, 2 to 5 p.m.
Feeling lucky? Visitors to studios on the tour this year will also have an amazing opportunity to win a $200 certificate to spend on work by one of the participating artists. Ballots will be available in each studio and the winner announced the week after the Tour. The raffle is to thank the many faithful supporters that have kept this special tour alive (and kicking) for two decades. Visit the PAST website (www. perthstudiotour.com) and pick up a brochure (at many locations from Ottawa to Sharbot Lake) for more details about this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participants, links to their websites, and to download the map.
