Cenotaph renovations increase accessibility By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca
emconline.ca
EMC News - Those wishing to pay their respects to the war dead at Smiths Falls’ three cenotaphs will soon have greater access following installation of sidewalk paths down to and around each site. “It really started with the one at the library,” explained Roy Moffatt, past president at Legion Branch 95 who is leading the project. Last year the cenotaph at the corner of Elmsley and Beckwith streets was struck by a transport making a turn. This week town staff will re-
locate the cenotaph further back on the property and prepare the site for a sidewalk. All three cenotaphs will have a linear sidewalk moving from the main sidewalk path to the cenotaph and extending around the entire stone. When complete, Moffatt feels the new sidewalks will allow those with mobility restrictions the ability to see all four sides of the cenotaphs and the names of the fallen soldiers. “We know we’ll have them all done by Nov. 11,” confirmed Don Looby, superintendent of works and utilities. A crew from Guy Saumure
& Sons Construction removed the sod around the cenotaph near the old arena site last week in preparation for sidewalk installation, while a crew from J.A. Gallipeau Construction has also volunteered their time to complete the sidewalk around the cenotaph at Memorial Park on Beckwith Street. Mayor Dennis Staples expressed his pleasure at seeing so many community partners come together in support of improving access to these military memorial sites. “We’re thrilled that they’re helping with some of those initiatives,” he said.
EMC Business - The opportunity to resolve the parking meter question in downtown Smiths Falls has been revived once more with councillors asking town staff to bring forward some costing estimates on a few new ideas. An update on the results of an Aug. 30 tender process for new solar-powered electric parking meters was presented to councillors at a special committee-of-the-whole session Oct. 1. Staff was directed to cancel the lone tender of $307,000 for all parking meter replacements, and gather further information. Coun. Ken Graham suggested placing parking stations at each block or two where people would park, walk and get their ticket at the kiosk before placing it in their vehicle window. “My preferred option is if we didn’t have parking meters at all,” Graham said alongside Coun. Lorraine Allen. The idea of a parking station received great support around the horseshoe this week with costing estimates needed along with other particulars before further discussion can take place. The feedback of the Downtown Business Association (DBA) on the proposal of a parking station and other suggestions is anticipated by councillors before making a final decision, though Coun. Jay Brennan wonders how the new meters will work with overall plans for Beckwith Street’s reconstruction. “I wonder if it might be premature to go ahead with this right now,” Brennan said. Building on this discussion, Coun. Chris Cummings brought forward a suggestion of placing parking stations along Beckwith Street, but removing all metering on side streets making these areas free. Mayor Dennis Staples said under this suggestion the town could replace the nonworking meters on Beckwith Street with those being removed from other areas. But Coun. Dawn Quinn felt new meters were needed as it provided a cleaner face and the

option of smart card access. This is the use of reloadable cards that can then be used for parking. The idea of having meters on Beckwith and not on the feeder roads aims to relieve the issue of business owners and staff parking in front of businesses. It is this exact practice (particularly during December’s free parking month courtesy of the DBA) that has Quinn passionate to keep the meters in some capacity. She supports replacing the meters as the existing ones are aged and 120 of a total 376 aren’t working. In terms of the parking stations, Quinn had one concern: “These are difficult for elderly people sometimes to walk to,” she said. The need to replace parking meters has been on the agenda since 2009. The following year the DBA presented a report on meters that called for the replacement of all meters and amendments to the fees and fines paid. Elaine Mallory, director of planning and sustainable development brought forward a proposal this week to councillors asking for an amendment to the fee bylaw. The recommendation would see the minimum parking meter payment go to 25 cents from five cents. Coun. Shawn Pankow supported increasing the meter fees to 50 cents for a half hour urging users to recall prices in major cities like Ottawa and Kingston. “It’s still very reasonable,” Pankow said. Brennan wanted to gauge public feedback on how much shoppers were willing to pay at the meters for a storefront parking spot, saying the meters could be a revenue source or at least help to offset the costs of the new meters. According to town numbers, parking meters brought in a total of $92,335 from meters and fines ($55,645 from the meters alone) in 2009, but the operating expenses came in at over $95,000 leaving a $3,000 operating shortfall in the system that year. This item will come back to a future committee-of-thewhole meeting for further discussion and debate.

Out with a bang – coordinator steps down: Kidney Gift of Life Walk raises more than $14,000 By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com

Patricia Mackler, a 10 year dialysis patient (second from right), posed with her family members before they headed out on the 5km Gift Of Life Walk. Also “When we switched to a walk event, the last two years brought in $6,000, which was wonderful, but I still had the desire to reach the goal at

enough to shop locally because that is what enables them to support things like this – it would be a different story,” she said. “Shopping locally is so important. It’s really what goes on behind the scenes as to how successful we have been.”

EMC News – Brenda Dube says she’s ecstatic with the results from this year’s Gift of Life Walk for the Kidney Foundation of Canada as more than $14,000 has been raised and money is still coming in. “The goal has always been to reach $8,000,” said local organizer Brenda Dube, who added this is her final year at the helm of kidney ship. “I have been in contact with a woman and she is interested in taking over,” she said, as she added that she wants to spend more time as a Big Sister with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Lanark County. She is also involved with the Multiple Sclerosis Society and its carnation campaign in the spring. Plus, she wants to get back to working full time hours. “I just don’t have as much time anymore,” she said. “I’m confident that the ball will keep rolling.” Before the Give the Gift of Life Walk started, there was the Roundup for Research Events Dube had organized. It did very well by bringing in $10,000 and $12,000.
Dube says she’s blown away as the numbers are still growing for this year’s walk event. “There are a few outside pledges that have not been accounted for and will be trickling in for a short time still. Where we stand right now, it has raised well over $14,000 and I feel quite confident it will reach over $15,000 plus by the time it is all said and done.” Dube noted that the media coverage, the sponsorship and community support has been wonderful this year, and helped to account for the larger amount of funds raised. “I am so grateful for the media coverage I received and the participants desire to raise those funds and of course the contributors fulfilling those pledges,” she said. Dube added that it’s been fun to organize this event, but feels it’s time to step down. “It’s been a wonderful experience,” she said. “But I really feel that it’s time for me to take a back seat. The community has been wonderful to support this event for all these years and I’m thankful for that.” More than 60 walkers took part in the event – double the amount of people from last year.

Despite the drizzle, participants came out to the Gift for Life Walk at the Crystal Palace in Perth on Sunday. Proceeds from this event go towards both research and funding local programs that help patients affected by kidney disease in Ontario. Local businesses donated items to be raffled and auctioned to raise additional funds that help fund local programs such as peer to peer support, renal friendly cooking classes and financial aid.

Project Assist supports firefighter training in Elizabethtown-Kitley and Merrickville-Wolford Township EMC News – Enbridge Gas Distribution is teaming up with the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council to help the Township of Elizabethtown-Kitley and the Village of MerrickvilleWolford purchase firefighting training education programs. “Firefighting is a dangerous and unpredictable profession,” said Ted Wieclawek, Ontario Fire Marshal and Chair of the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council. “Regular training is an important part of being prepared for any hazardous situation. Enbridge’s Project Assist improves access to training materials for municipal fire departments and positively contributes to overall firefighter health and safety.” “With the assistance provided by Enbridge to purchase additional recognized training material through Project Assist and the Fire Marshal’s Public Fire Safety Council, our fire department’s training program and training library will be richly enhanced for present and future member’s training requirements.

EMC Entertainment – “I would rather have a dog.� This is one of the lines to be spoken by the blind heroine in “Wait Until Dark�, Perth’s Studio Theatre’s first production of the season. It was this line that got director Norma Cummings’ wheels of thought turning. For every adult ticket sold for this production, premiering Oct. 11, $1 will be donated to the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. “We thought it would be a nice hookup between this kind of a play and the guide dogs,� Cummings commented Sept. 26, amidst construction of the set. It was day five of building the basement apartment scene. “We strive for good will in the community. Part of our mandate is to serve the community,� explained Penny Silberhorn, with the Studio Theatre. She said the theatre gives actors an area to act, directors a place to direct. “We try as much as we can to put some of our money back into the community.� In addition to a portion of ticket sales going to the cause, the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind will also feature a promotional setup in the lobby as well as a donation dog (whereby donations can be dropped into) during the performance. Not only is the Studio Theatre giving back to the community via the donation, they have also been hard at work preparing the performance. Calling it a “pulse pounding thriller� the cast has been hard at work since the last part of August. “It’s been a big team effort,� Cummings smiled. The eight character play fea-

The performance takes place Oct. 11, 12, 13, 19, 20 at 8 p.m. with 2 p.m. Sunday matinees on Oct. 14 and 21.

Rounding out the cast are David Parry and Yogi Sepp. The play itself centres around Susy, who is blind and her husband Sam Hendrix. In the play, they are convinced by a strange woman to transport a doll across the Canadian border. What they don’t know is that sewn within this doll is a quantity of heroin, heroin which villain Roat can’t wait to get his hands on. When the strange woman who persuaded them into bringing the doll across the border is murdered, Roat convinces Susy the police suspect Sam as the murderer and that the doll is evidence. Becom-

Enjoy abundance of music at Merrickville Jazz Fest Oct. 11 to 14 EMC Entertainment – From Thursday, Oct. 11 to Sunday, Oct. 14, you can enjoy a scenic fall drive, spend the day or the weekend in the charming village of Merrickville, and enjoy Merrickville Jazz Fest. Due to the success of last year’s jazz festival – Merrickville’s first – this year’s festival features twice as many performers, a number of whom have appeared in the Ottawa Jazz Festival, and twice as many venues. The 19 performances in this year’s festival offer a range of jazz styles from traditional to modern. The nine venues offer festival goers the opportunity to enjoy these performers in a concert environment, in a dining environment, or in a more casual environment. This year’s festival also features a big band dance for ballroom and swing dancers. The village of Merrickville, ‘The Jewel of the Rideau’, is nestled on the historic Rideau Canal (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) near its midpoint, less than an hour’s drive from Ottawa. Merrickville has been dubbed ‘Canada’s Most Beautiful Village’ by Communities in Bloom, and has more designated heritage buildings than any other Ontario community of similar size. Merrickville is a unique and vibrant community, renowned for its boutiques, which are filled with one-ofa-kind items, many made by local artists and artisans. Its heritage buildings, historic setting, places to stay, boutiques, shops, restaurants, and small-town hospitality have made Merrickville a favourite get-away spot for a day, overnight, or longer. A village event During the jazz festival, a
requires either an event ticket, which provides admission for one person to any single event, or a weekend passport, which provides admission for one person to all events. Event tickets are $15, and weekend passports are $59.95. Tickets and passports can be purchased: in person in advance or during the festival from several Merrickville businesses; by phoning the Baldachin Inn at 613-2694223 (toll free 1-877-8818874) in advance or during the festival, using Visa or MasterCard; and at the door, using cash or cheque. Please note that, for events held at restaurant venues during meal time, it is recommended you make a reservation by contacting the restaurant directly. Visit the festival website at merrickvillejazzfest.com for detailed information on how to obtain event tickets and weekend passports and for any other information you might be looking to find.

From Truth to Reconciliation seminar - bringing all together survivors. “My Algonquin culture, I felt I had to keep it under wraps,” Larry McDermott, noted to the small crowd that morning at Notre Dame Catholic High School, referring to his 28 years in municipal politics. McDermott is a member of the Shabot Obaadjiwan First Nation. The day long event, “is a beginning. To open the minds and hearts of people living in the area,” noted Tracey Paetzold, a member of the Social Concerns Committee of Carleton Place, a co-host for the event along with KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives, Amnesty International, the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario, NDCHS and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. McDermott opened the day’s events speaking on First Nation’s history as well as touching on some of his own personal experiences. “Often I felt sad in my heart with what I witnessed,” he said candidly. “There wasn’t a way to talk about being Algonquin in Lanark County.” He spoke once of attending a municipal council session where funding was

EMC News - Coming together as strangers and leaving as friends was perhaps the spirit behind From Truth to Reconciliation, held Sept. 29 in Carleton Place. The purpose of the day, was to bring together young and old, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, church and secular in a shared journey of listening, learning and reconciliation. The “all star line up” on the agenda that day also included James Bartleman, former Lieutenant Governor for Ontario from 2002 to 2007, and a member of the Chippewas of Mnjikanina First Nation. Bartleman is also an author. Also on hand to share her journey as a survivor of St. Michael’s Residential School in Duck Lake, Saskatchewan was Irene Lindsay, an Ottawa resident and descendant from the Cree/Sioux community of Wakaw, Saskatchewan. From the early 1830s to 1998, over 150,000 First Nation, Inuit, and Metis were forced to attend government funded, church run residential schools - the point was to “assimilate them into the dominant culture.” Currently, there are estimates of 80,000 Residential School

being discussed for an Aboriginal celebratory event. However the event never came to be, as one member of the municipal council would not support putting funding towards an event for “pagans.” “We have to keep working, keep recognizing all are sacred. The creator has created all of us,” he commented. Speaking after McDermott, Bartleman explained from his seat, he grew up in an era where minorities were discriminated against. Growing up, his family lived in a tent by the village dump. He and his brother used to chase the garbage truck up the road, “it was the days before garage sales” and garbage trucks which compacted items. “We chased the garbage truck up to the road and poured through stuff.” It was in piles of garbage that Bartleman perhaps came across the greatest gift he could ever have found. Comic books. It was within those pages that he learned to read and “developed a great love of books.” He recalled he and his family being called “dirty halfbreeds”, but he also will never forget becom-
ing friends with the people, “who called us those horrible things.” Aside from literacy being a focus for Bartleman, he also focuses on mental health and suicide as they remain important to him as well. He recalled using his government plane to visit First Nations communities up in Northern Ontario. One trip there was a large crowd on the tarmac. When he inquired what was happening, he was told a young 12 year old girl had committed suicide and her body was being taken away. “There is this tremendous despair amongst native youth in Northern Ontario. They are killing themselves at an amazing rate.” As a legacy, the James Bartleman Aboriginal Youth Creative Writing Award was created. This award recognizes Aboriginal youth for their creative writing talents. These awards are given out yearly.

Seniors’ Expo a success; addresses the needs of the area’s aging population By TARA GESNER tgesner@perfprint.ca
EMC News – With a never-ending flow of visitor traffic from beginning to end, exhibitors at the 2012 Seniors’ Expo found numerous opportunities to engage seniors, family members and caregivers living in Mississippi Mills and district in meaningful conversation. It was a success! Celebrating its second year on Thursday, Sept. 13 at the Almonte and District Community Centre, the free of charge event was sponsored by CARP (Canadian Association of Retired Persons) and hosted by Almonte Baptist Church (ABC), the Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC) and the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County (AsoLC). It is the brainchild of Margo Smith, ABC member. Individuals time and again are not familiar with the variety of neighbourhood services available until they are in need of them. The expo brings this awareness – in a friendly environment – by way of direct contact with exhibitors. Festivities included short seminars by local professionals, musical entertainment, refreshments, draws and door prizes.
Mississippi Mills councillor Val Wilkinson joined representatives from CARP, ABC, MCSC and AsoLC for the official opening ceremony and ribbon cutting. “We are here today to make sure seniors receive a heads up of what services are available should they need them,” said ABC’s Pastor Paul Benson. He called the expo a vision – a vision of passionate people. “They knew it would be helpful to the community,” he said. On behalf of the mayor and council, Wilkinson said it was important to welcome all visitors to the expo. “We must thank the volunteers,” she said, “as something this size does not run on its own.” The Seniors’ Expo was the start of a celebration that leds to Oct. 1 and the International Day Older Persons, a day decreed by the United Nations in 1990. Immediately following the affair, CARP – in the process of setting up a Lanark County chapter – hosted a general membership meeting in the upper hall of the community centre to establish a board of directors. Last year’s expo took place at the Almonte Civitan Hall.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Health unit commends woman for awareness efforts DEAR EDITOR:
On behalf of the Tri-county area of the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit we would like to acknowledge the efforts of Brenda Kelford in raising awareness in the community with regards to infant communication methods and the message of - period of PURPLE crying, a program targeting new parents and their families. Crying is how babies express their needs and communicate with the people around them. Some babies cry more than others. New information suggests that what used to be called colic is actually a normal part of a baby’s development. All babies go through a period early in life when they cry more than at any other time. Some practitioners refer to this as the period of purple crying. PURPLE is an acronym used to describe baby’s crying. Peak of Crying – babies begin to cry more and more each week, usually the most at 2 months, and then usually less at 3-5 months. Unexpected – crying can start and stop without an obvious cause or reason why. Resists Soothing – no matter what you try, you’re baby will not stop crying. Pain-Like Face –
the crying baby may look like they’re in pain, even though they are not. Long Lasting – crying can last as long as 5 hours a day or more. Evening – baby’s crying may occur in late afternoon or evenings. Programs exist in some hospitals across Canada to raise awareness of the Period of PURPLE Crying for parents of new babies, in an attempt to lower the risk of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Crying is the most common trigger causing a parent/ caregiver to shake a baby. Current research is underway to determine the effectiveness of these programs in reducing the rate of Shaken Baby Syndrome. As an agency that adopts practice based on evidence-based research, the Health Unit is in support of raising awareness about the Period of PURPLE Crying and will continue to monitor the future results on the effectiveness of this prevention program.

EMC Editorial – It was the goal heard around the world. But today, 40 years after Paul Henderson buried the puck past a sprawling Vladislav Tretiak to secure the win for Canada in the historic 1972 Summit Series against the Soviet Union, the scoring hero remains an outsider to the Hockey Hall of Fame. Today, our local Senator wants to change that. Bob Runciman, long-time MPP for Leeds-Grenville who now serves in the Red Chamber as representative of the Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, has initiated an online petition he hopes will convince the powers-that-be that Henderson’s exclusion must end. Certainly the argument can be made, and has been made by his detractors, that Henderson’s overall numbers don’t measure up to the standards for induction. That his years spent with the Toronto Maple Leafs were hardly spectacular and that his defecting to the World Hockey Association (WHA) didn’t do him any favours either. But let’s face it. Not all of those who have found favour with the selection committee in recent years have had eye-popping playing careers. Someone like a Cam Neely didn’t come close to a thousand points but his grit and hard-nosed play captivated fans and earned special recognition. There are other examples where players may not have fit the profile of a hall of famer in terms of goals and assists but who managed to rise to prominence in other ways. Henderson is one of those cases. While you will never hear it from him, there has been a steady call from his supporters over the years, people who suggest it is a travesty that Paul Henderson has not been enshrined yet. We would have to agree. Henderson’s heroics stand the test of time. The man deserves his spot alongside the greats of the game. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of that incredible series victory, newspapers and television networks have all revisited the event in recent weeks. And the pinnacle, without a doubt, is Henderson’s goal. It’s not out of line to suggest that without Henderson – who scored the winning goal in each of the last three series games – Canadian hockey would be very different today. Runciman’s is the latest attempt to fix this wrong. To join the petition, log on to his website at www.bobrunciman.com and follow the prompts. This is hockey fans’ chance to score one for Henderson.
Plenty to be thankful for at this time of year EMC Lifestyle - Every day back in the ’30s, according to Mother, was a day of thanksgiving. Looking back, there was indeed much to be thankful for. And as Thanksgiving is upon us, perhaps it is appropriate that those things we took for granted so many years ago, should be remembered. So what are some of the memories of those Depression years that have lasted through the decades, and in recalling them, have me wondering what has happened to what we took for granted so long ago? Let me turn back the clock, and let me take you back to a more gentle time, as I recall with thankfulness lessons learned and a way of life that
Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
was more safe and secure. I will be forever grateful that I lived in a time when it was perfectly safe to walk three miles of back country roads to a school without fear. Even in the cities so far away, children felt secure, and a Mother’s warning was not to be wary of strangers, but rather to keep out of the ditches of water so that we wouldn’t catch our deaths of cold. I am thankful I lived in an
era where the owner of the General Store trusted his customers. Where you filled your own bag of cookies, put it on the scale yourself, and had the cost added to your Mother’s bill which hung on a nail behind the counter. And if you didn’t have the money to pay for your groceries, you could offer a trade. Where sometimes weeks would go by, and no money changed hands. It was a time when a young child was taught that honesty was all a part of doing business. I am thankful today that I grew up in an era where a deal was made with the simple shake of a hand. And it was binding. It didn’t take a lawyer to draw up papers to trade

a couple head of cattle for an old model T, or a load of hay, for a steer, or a few loads of gravel for your first car. Today, I am thankful I grew up in a home where there wasn’t a lot of money for frivolities. It was a time when we children made our own fun...toys from a piece of whittled wood, playthings like empty spools of thread, a button box, and Eaton’s catalogue...all filling hours of fun and not costing a penny! I am thankful today that because we lived in a house overflowing with aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents, I learned at an early age what it meant to be tolerant.

ceive. Giving up our bed for an elderly aunt, had Mother reminding us how the aunt enriched our lives with her stories, her hand-knitted mitts, and pans of Johnny Cake, the best I have ever tasted. Today, I am thankful we had a wonderful doctor who would drive out from Renfrew, plowing through snow and blinding rain, and whose only pay might be a dressed chicken, or a couple dozen eggs and some fresh butter. And I remember his sitting by the bed of a very sick little girl until the dawn crept into my bedroom window and my fever broke. I am thankful today that I grew up in a home where every child had a special worth.

Where even the youngest was made to feel important, and daily chores, done to a parent’s satisfaction, was all part of growing up. We were taught that it was all right to fail, and that from each failure came a lesson. This is the legacy handed down to us by a generation of people who, although never rich in material wealth, were rich in the things that mattered. This is the time to be thankful for that era that made us what we are today, and to be truly thankful for all the blessings we enjoy today living in a free and bountiful country. May each of you have a happy and blessed “Thanksgiving.”

Before doing anything, ask yourself the following questions! tive in order for your advertisement to be effective? Once the advertisement has been published: -are you prepared to answer the phone every time someone is interested in your ad? -would you be able to recognize a serious buyer who won’t waste your time? -can you be available to show potential buyers your home? -do you have enough time
to answer everyone’s questions? And don’t forget the legal side of things. Do you know enough about the law to be able to prepare documents which will protect you in case of a lawsuit? Finally, you must be prepared to gather all the necessary documents together which the eventual buyer will need to finance the purchase and which the lawyer or no-
tary will require. Being a real estate agent is a profession which demands a great deal of training. These days, the requirements of the different provincial governments and professional bodies are very strict as there are many complex laws governing real estate transactions.

REAL ESTATE
So, you want to buy a new home and you have found a few potential properties. But how can you tell the difference between a “dream home” and a “heap of junk”? Buying a home is a big decision that should be made rationally. For this reason, there are certain things you should look for when visiting a house for the first time. For example: • Are the walls straight? • Is the chimney in good condition? • Does the foundation show signs of cracks or weakness? • Are there large trees planted too closely to the house?
• Do the exterior doors shut properly? • Are there any drafts around them once they are shut? • Are there any cracks in the walls close to door frames, window frames or in the corner of ceilings? • Is the ceiling level? • Do all the inside doors open and shut properly? • Do the windows open and shut properly? • Is the floor solid? If ceramic tiles have been used, are they cracked? • Has any mold or mildew built up around the windows or in the bathroom?
• If the house has a fireplace, are there any signs of smoke over the hearth? Is the damper air proof? • Are there any odours in the basement? (A perfumed scent might be due to the owner trying to mask humidity or animal urine odours.) • Is the cement floor in good condition? Finally, visually inspect all the drains, pipes and kitchen and bathroom fixtures to make sure they are in good condition. Making a checklist of the above questions and bringing it with you when visiting new homes can be a great help.

The tour is also made up completely of juried artists so the work you will see is
of a professional standard explained Mullally. Ilona Monahan is a member of the 4A executive committee and has been a member since 2010. She enjoys painting in watercolour mostly horses, flowers and dogs; she is looking forward to the tour and encourages everyone to come out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a lovely time of year and people are out and about
in the community and this gives them nice stops on the way,â&#x20AC;? said Monahan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope to sell a few paintings too! If you are Christmas shopping it is a really nice outing because there are beautiful studios to visit, lots of restaurants and interesting artists to speak with.â&#x20AC;?

Parenting together can be difficult to negotiate EMC Lifestyle - Do you and your spouse argue about how to discipline and raise your children? Do you find that this is a source of tension in your relationship? Parenting together, as a team, can be difficult to negotiate, especially if the two of you were raised with different parenting styles. It is also more difficult if there are other tensions in your relationship. To help parent better together as a team The North Lanark Community Health Centre is offering a free three week course for couples who are parents of young children. It will help you find ways to agree on parenting styles,
look at the importance of the parent-child connection and learn to support each other to work as a team. It is an information and discussion group. Parents will not be asked to share about themselves or their children but may wish do so if it would be helpful to them. In this course we will discuss the following and much more. The way you were raised affects your parenting Parenting has changed since we were children.

The trees in your backyard – topic of Horticultural presentation EMC Lifestyle - “I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beechtree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.” ~Henry David Thoreau. The enjoyment of sitting under a tree, shaded from the sun and listening to the rustling leaves or the whisper of the wind through the pines is something we can all relate to. In today’s world of blistering heat, drought and the voracious emerald ash borer, it is difficult to know how to care for your trees or which trees to select to plant. Proper tree care is an investment that can lead to substantial returns - wellcared-for trees are attractive and can add considerable value to your property while poorly maintained trees can be a significant liability. Join the Perth & District Horticultural Society in welcoming Crispin Wood, the Lead Arborist for the Federal Department of Agriculture’s Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa, for a presentation on “Trees in Your Backyard”. With over 10 years experience in the fields of arboriculture and urban forestry, Wood lends his education and expertise to the management and maintenance of the woody plant collections stretching

across a 400 hectare site of mixed urban and rural landscapes. His education includes a degree in Biology from Carleton University and a diploma in Forestry from Algonquin College. He is also a recognized Horticultural Professional with the Ontario Nursery and Landscape Association and a Certified Arborist with the International Society of Arboriculture. In addition to his work at the Department of Agriculture, he is an active volunteer in the community, devoting much of his free time to various environmental causes. Most notably he sits as Vice-Chair for the Ottawa Stewardship Council, and is an active member of the Planning committee of the Ottawa Eco Fair. Despite his diversity of education and experience, however, Wood’s passion continues to reside with trees; a passion he’s more than willing to share.

Even in the darkest of times HOPE shines through at The Brett Pearson Run for Your Life our community and used for the costs of our committee’s school and community educational presentations. I have been asked many times why I deliver presentations about my son’s fate. I am a survivor of suicide, changed forever and I am not alone. Survivors offer a unique insight and hope
which can enrich our understanding of suicide to hundreds of people throughout the communities whose lives are touched by this tragedy. This is my goal, opening the dialogue on mental illness, substance abuse and suicide. Encouraging others to come forward and speaking up may open up new
means of preventing it and understanding its impact. All along, I am paying tribute to the cherished memories of my precious son Brett, my inspiration and how his life has and will continue saving lives.

EMC News - “Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark” was a message delivered by one of the several guest speakers at the second annual Brett Pearson Run for Your Life on Sept. 1. The event was sponsored by the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee. Similar to last year, the warm day was blessed with sunny skies as participants from Carleton Place, Smiths Falls, Almonte, Perth, Carp, Ottawa, Gatineau, Kanata, Nepean, Kemptville, Stittsville and Mississauga made their way to the Carleton Place High School to walk or run the 2.5 km and 5 km courses. For some, survivors affected by suicide, addiction and mental illness it was a chance to share their experiences with others. The powerful messages communicated by Mayor Wendy Leblanc, CBC Ottawa Morning host Robyn Bresnahan, OPP Const. Dave Bird, Smiths Falls Const. Dave Murphy and Marla Israel, Director General, Centre for Health Promotion, Public Health Agency of Canada helped in breaking the silence. With each word spoken, the taboo surrounding these topics began to fade, easing the pain of those suffering or left behind. The Parade of Life which led participants from the high school to the starting line at the Trans-Canada trail was led by Brett’s younger brother, Sgt. Dennis Pearson of the 2870 Royal Canadian Dragoons Army Cadets Corps and his leadership encouraged other youth to speak out. The high school and trailhead sites were marked with colours representative of the cause. Purple and yellow balloon arches welcomed the participants at the sites and a ‘Fountain of Hope’ held floating tea lights that were lit by the participants and then placed on the floating purple letters that spelled the word ‘HOPE’. Messages were inscribed on the tea lights by the participants bringing some consolation for the reason why they were there on Sept. 1. The event raised $3,270. The net proceeds of this year will be returned into

Scotland and the 20 year twinning relationship involving Carleton Place and its sister community of Comrie, in the Scottish Highlands, were the focus of a special event in the Carleton Place Town Hall Auditorium Saturday. The sixth annual Heritage Ball, sponsored by the Carleton Place Sister City Committee, celebrated the 20th anniversary under the theme ‘A Highland Fling’. A full house was on hand for the formal dinner-dance which raises funds for the Sister Cities Student Exchange program. Among the main participants were five natives of Scotland. They are the Lees family from Comrie, George Lees and his wife Marlyn (left) and their daughter Amanda (foreground). Mr. Lees is the long-time chair of the Comrie Twinning Committee. The Honorary Co-Hosts for the special occasion were Duncan and Fiona McNaughton (right). The McNaughton’s are long-time residents of the Carleton Place area.

Seniors’ Forum is designed to give Carleton Place residents more participation in community affairs
New vision “This is part of a new vision for the aging,” Mills said during a recent meeting with the EMC which outlined details of the process which will begin with the forum later this month. Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc said “a large number of players (participants)” will come together for the seniors’ forum. A number of organizations are already listed as community partners in the venture. They are the town itself, Community Home Support Lanark County (which provides services for seniors and adults with physical disabilities), Community and Primary Health Care, the Sunset Club of Carleton Place (a local seniors’ organization) and the Alzheimer Society of Lanark County. “The philosophy is to include as many (people and organizations) as possible,” Mills stresses.
LeBlanc says council is thrilled to be working with MCSC but admits they first had to get past the erroneous impression the organization was directly connected to the Town of Mississippi Mills. “We didn’t realize all of the things you (MCSC) could offer due to the fact we thought you were aligned with Mississippi Mills,” the mayor told Mills during the recent meeting. MCSC and its partners are working with various groups, organizations and entities who are involved with seniors in the community on a daily basis, in hopes of attracting as many participants as possible on Oct. 16. Mills explains information releases were sent to all of the local churches who have also been invited to participate by donating desserts for the luncheon planned as part of the upcoming forum. “The churches will be donating pies. “Food is a good unifying factor which is why it is important to come together over lunch,” Mills adds. With the churches on board it is hoped as many parishioners as possible will attend the session. During the event participants will be seated at tables and LeBlanc says each table “will have an identifiable (local) facilitator” who will help move the discussion along. Following discussion at each individual table, a general dialogue involving all of the participants will be held to formalize the process. As mentioned Coxon the CEO of MCSC, will facilitate that portion of the venture. Mills also referred to the second annual Seniors’ Expo held recently at the Civitan Club Hall in Almonte. He said participants were asked three specific questions. One was, “Tell us about a time you were most proud of your

community.” The second was, “Name the most important things, places and people in the community for you.” The third query was, “What do you wish most for your community?” Mills says the answers to those questions, which those in attendance were asked to write out on paper, can be used to assist in making Mississippi Mills or any other community a better place in which to live. He referred to Margaret Wheatley, an American writer and management consultant who studies organizational behavior. The very quotable Wheatley once said, “Very great change starts from very small conversations held among people who care.” Mills notes what he calls “the (impressive) volunteer capacity of seniors today.” Engage seniors Carleton Place Councillor Jerry Flynn, a firm believer in the importance of engaging seniors in their own community, says “we are looking for the knowledge and expertise with that (seniors) community.” He refers to the large number of professional people who are

Bridge and Town Line Road. To sum up the importance of the forum Mills said “it will be a day for broader discussion.” He says the venture will aim “to pinpoint areas of interest and concern” and “build on the assets that already exist in the community.” LeBlanc calls the process “a positive collaboration” involving community representatives and citizens. “We are starting a conversation about the needs in the community and people’s interests. “We want to hear (from citizens) about what we have and what we need.” Flynn summed it up when he offered, “We are looking for seniors’ vision of Carleton Place.” For more information about the upcoming Seniors’ Forum, to register for the event or to arrange transportation people are asked to contact Jessica Smith, the town’s community programmer.

retired and living in Carleton Place. “There are so many (retired) professionals who still have so much to share. “Seniors are the biggest growth area in our society,” the councillor noted. Mills says an important part of the process will be to create “an assets map for Carleton Place.” He feels councils “don’t necessarily have all the answers” which is why his organization is involved in the process. “Council is not leading this,” LeBlanc stressed, saying the town is acting as a facilitator rather than playing the lead role. “We will be the greeters that day,” she says with a smile. On Sept. 25 LeBlanc, on behalf of council, proclaimed Oct. 1 ‘International Day of Older Persons and National Seniors Day’ in Carleton Place. The mayor also mentioned that the Oct. 16 activity will be the first community event staged in the recently acquired Carambeck property which is located at 351 Bridge St., just north of the intersection of

individuals, young families and seniors who may be economically disadvantaged as well as people of all ages who require support to live as independently as possible for as long as possible.” Mills Community Support also partners with a number of government agencies and community service groups to provide quality programs in Lanark County communities. This past spring MCSC officials made a presentation to Carleton Place council which helped open the door to the program for seniors which the town is now embarking on. Jeff Mills, the son of founding member Stanley Mills, is the coordinator of community development for the organization. He says he is “proud of Carleton Place (council)” for having the vision to organize the seniors’ forum with a view to making life better for the oldest residents of the community.
R0011583926
EMC Events - Carleton Place values its oldest residents and that fact will be underlined during a special Seniors’ Forum planned for Tuesday, Oct. 16. Organized by the Town of Carleton Place, the venture is the first step in a new initiative aimed at enhancing the quality of life for local seniors. The free event, which includes a lunch provided by the town, will be held at Carambeck Community Centre (the former Carambeck Public School) at 351 Bridge Street from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 16. Free transportation will be available for anyone requiring assistance reaching the venue! Carleton Place council is working with Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC), an agency based in the Almonte Ward of neighbouring Mississippi Mills, to organize the venture. Michael Coxon, chief executive officer for MCSC will act as facilitator for the forum. The aim is to open a dialogue with seniors, their families, caregivers and friends in an effort to determine what is needed to make older people’s lives better. The number of people over the age of 65 is increasing at a rapid rate in Canada and the special forum in Carleton Place is a reflection of that fact. The name Mills Community Support Corporation (MCSC) comes from two sources. It is named in honour of Stanley Mills, a founding member and chair of the organization which was previously called Almonte Community Development Corporation (ACDC) as well as for the community where it is based (Mississippi Mills). MCSC is a multi-service organization which assists more than 1,000 people across Lanark County with specialized supportive housing services, non-profit housing services and home support services.

EMC Events - Pets of all sizes and shapes and breeds could be seen Saturday during the Pet Lovers’ Expo in Merrickville. Hosted for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society the event featured an array of special features for families and their pets. A pet fashion show, first aid demonstration and a variety of vendors could be seen throughout the day. The day was a fundraiser for LAWS in which organizers were hoping to raise $5,000. Vendors included Parrot Rescue, Little Rays Reptiles and pet shows featuring best dressed pets and best tricks.

Perth responds to LAWS emergency to raise money to meet this emergency. A group of people met at the Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn & Spa in early September to hear details about the emergency and to share ideas about finding a solution. Judy Meyers, pastpresident of LAWS and a current member of the Board explained that a number of circumstances merged to cause the present situation. Financial donations have declined due to the economic climate as have bequests which represent a significant proportion of LAWS income. The past year saw an extraordinary increase in the number of animals brought to LAWS thus placing severe strain on all of LAWS resources. Complicating matters is the fact that the shelter
Curl for Kids Nov. 30 EMC News - The Smiths Falls Curling Club will host a Curl for Kids event for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Lanark County, Nov. 30. Curling will begin at 6 p.m. and the famous Curl for Kids chili will be on the menu. The cost for a team is $120 for four people for two games, and registration should be completed and
facility, located 2 kms west of Smiths Falls, is an old one requiring increasingly high maintenance costs. In January 2011, three pounds in surrounding municipalities of Perth closed and LAWS entered into a contract with them to receive animals from these communities. The number of animals far exceeded the numbers that were anticipated thus making it necessary for LAWS to withdraw from this arrangement. At present LAWS is not able to accept any dogs or cats. LAWS is one of only two “No Kill” shelters in Ontario and survives solely on private donations. It receives no funding from any level of government. Being a “no kill” shelter is an expensive undertaking but one that is well worth the effort and ex-
pense. Mohatma Ghandi said “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way it animals are treated.” The work of LAWS, its staff and volunteers and those who support it through their financial donations, help our community to be a positive demonstration of Ghandi’s words. “LAWS saves lives; let us save LAWS”. This is the mantra of the LAWS fundraising chapter in Perth. There are many ways to get on board. One way is to come to the “Rally for LAWS” to take place at the Perth Farmers Market on Saturday, Oct. 6 beginning at 10 a.m. Donations will be accepted and tax receipts issued. Please consider your support of several other upcoming events in Perth taking place in Oc-
tober with proceeds going to LAWS “Musicians for Mutts” at Perth Studio Theatre, Oct. 5, will feature Kelly Prescott, The Claytones, Kelly Sloan, fabulous fiddlers and a silent auction. Tickets are available at Coutts Coffee Company, The Factory Grind/Bakers Cafe or by calling 256-7980. On Oct. 13, Pet Fest will fill Mill Street in Carleton Place with entertainers, creatures, vendors, demos and more. Go to the LAWS website, listed below, for more details. There will be a dance with a live band and silent auction on Oct. 26 at the Farrell Hall in Perth. For tickets, call Kellie at 613-250-9183. Silent auction items will be greatly appreciated – for pick-up call Marlene at 613-466-0283. For a more formal event, consider the “Black Tie –
White Paws” Dinner and silent auction for L.A.W.S on Oct. 13 at Slackoni’s Restaurant in Carleton Place. For tickets go to www.slackonis. com. For information about these and other events or to donate online go to www.lanarkanimals.com. Often an emergency brings out the very best in a community. We see it happening already in the way people want to help to save LAWS. More must be done and as you can see from the many varied events there is something for everyone.

EMC News - Since the Lanark Animal Welfare Society announced that it is facing an emergency financial situation and may have to close its doors, many groups and individuals in the County have stepped forward to help. A group of concerned citizens in Perth has also responded and in collaboration with LAWS has formed a LAWS Fundraising Committee – the Perth Chapter. Driven by a love of animals and a respect for the commitment of those at LAWS who have kept this “No Kill” shelter operating for more than 30 years, a small group of people decided that action was needed now to help save LAWS. The focus of the Perth fundraising Chapter will be to raise awareness of the crisis LAWS is facing and

Tragic performance at Carleton Place Town Hall — Director is killed EMC Entertainment - Editor’s note: The following essay was written by Kathleen Everett, a member of the Mississippi Mudds publicity team. During a particularly bad performance of the murder mystery Murder Me Always the audience was shocked when life imitated art. Not that one could call that production artful in any way, shape or form. According to authorities the dinner theatre had just
begun and the salads were on the tables when a shot reverberated through the hall — the audience believed it was part of the show until the body of the director was found backstage. Thus, the performance came to a crashing halt and all mayhem let loose. Detective Joe Mamet who happened to be at the evening’s performance quickly took control of the situation. He said that many of the folks wanted to leave, some disgruntled
by the terrible over acting onstage, and others for fear that the killer was still at large in the hall and may strike again. Nevertheless, everyone was detained for questioning. Mamet saw no reason to waste the wonderful repast prepared by the good folks at Ballygiblin’s Restaurant and Pub, and dinner was served to the delight of the crowd. For those who required a bit more fortification, the cash bar was also made
available (within reason). No one wanted to deal with a drunk on top of a murderer. The evening was full of discussion around the dreadful performance and the dramatic death, everyone speculating on whodunnit, and why they still let hopelessly forgetful Henry take part in such theatrical productions. One patron summed it all up nicely when she said, “Bad theatre shouldn’t be a death sentence!” In a generally peaceful
town like Carleton Place such drama-filled evenings are blessedly rare, but if you’ve been hankering for just such a night out, then run, don’t walk down to the Chamber Offices at 132 Coleman St. and purchase a ticket for the Mississippi Mudds upcoming murder mystery Murder Me Always by Lee Mueller. The production is set to take the stage at, you guessed it, the Carleton Place Town Hall on Friday, Nov. 2 and Saturday, Nov. 3. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
with hors d’oeuvres being served until the show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets for the dinner, catered by Ballygiblin’s, and the show, superbly over acted by the Mudds’ Players, are only $45 and include gratuities and taxes. Though the folks at the Chamber Offices have said they’d love your cash, they will also sell to those using debit or credit cards. So no excuses! For more information please call 613257-1976 or visit www. mississippimudds.ca.
Lanark County Food Bank sees new applicants every month Food Banks (OAFB) reported that about 395,000 people were using food banks in Ontario. Your local Food Bank relies completely on donations from the local community and the OAFB to operate. We do not receive any assistance from the Province of Ontario or any other level of government. In Lanark County we are fortunate to have the support of the local community and several businesses to make our operation a success. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have helped us over the past year. Special thanks also go out to all the volunteers who give their time every week to ensure that we are able to continue offering this service. The fall season is always a busy time at the Food Bank as we have several food and fund raising initiatives to help us through the winter months. The first
involves the annual Halloween parade that takes place in Carleton Place on Saturday, Oct. 27. The Lanark County Food Bank will be participating in this parade and the public will have the opportunity to make either food or monetary donations. In addition, the fourth annual Build a Mountain Food Drive will be held in mid-November and the public will be able to help out with a donation at any of the major grocery stores in our area. This food drive has been tremendously successful in past years and we have generally collected between 2,000 and 3,000 lbs. of food. The final fall event will be our
participation in the Santa Clause Parade which takes place in Carleton Place on Nov. 24. We look forward to seeing you there.

EMC Lifestyle - In late August the Ontario Common Front published a report entitled “Falling Behind”. This report contained some alarming statistics about Ontario’s track record in dealing with poverty and funding of social programs and services. For example, while poverty rates fell in five provinces, Ontario had the second highest increase in poverty compared to the remaining provinces. Another area of concern was the fact that 1 in 7 or almost 400,000 children are living in poverty in Ontario. At the Lanark County Food Bank we are well aware of the impact poverty has on many families in the area. The Food Bank helps close to 550 people monthly and the number is constantly increasing. On average, there are approximately 12 new applicants every month. In 2011, the Ontario Association of

Local musicians feature fundraising events for LAWS By ROBYNNE EAGAN
EMC Events - Local musicians are raising their voices for the creatures who can’t, in an attempt to save the Lanark Animal Welfare Society no-kill animal shelter that has served Lanark County for 30 years. Local singer Kelly Prescott has long been an advocate for the creatures who can’t speak for themselves and was one of the first to come forward. Her enthusiasm for LAWS is contagious, her band “The Claytones” along with Kelly Sloan; fiddlers Matt Pepin, Ian Clark, and John Dahms; and emcee Bridal Jamieson were on board for a not-to-be missed event. “Musicians for Mutts” is set to take place Perth Theatre, Oct. 5. Along with great music, Prescott has orchestrated a silent auction with many great items up for grabs. The support of the musical community doesn’t stop there. Several bands are on-deck for a yet to be announced evening of sound, including “Running Naked,” “Jack Spinks,” and “Balsam Blue,” acoustic guitarists and singers Kathleen Stroud, Kurtis Armstrong, Sara Mitchell; and the poet-songwriters of “Vine Rhymes,” supported by sound technician, Tim Greencorn. “For an organization running
on private donations, it’s the least we could do,” says Dave Scribailo of Running Naked. “Everything Zen” Band will be at Farrell Hall on Friday, Oct. 26, 8 p.m.- 2 a.m., Nov. 9, Ambush will be at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club for a “Red Solo Cup Event” from 8 p.m. - 1 a.m., and Janis Joplin will be strutting her stuff for LAWS once again in Shelly Montreuil’s popular tribute show at a date soon to be announced. With support such as this, Melissa Rusk, president of the LAWS board of directors, is hopeful that LAWS can survive this period of transition that has left the shelter overcrowded and struggling financially. “LAWS is a good cause,” says Scribailo of Running Naked. “Like they say, ‘it’s not so much that we rescue animals, but that they rescue us’.” Musicians for Mutts, Perth Studio Theatre, Friday, Oct. 5, 8 p.m. (Tickets available for $20 at Baker Bob’s, Mississippi Mills Musicworks, Read’s Book Shop, Ballygiblin’s, Pakenham General Store, The Vineyard Winery, Balderson Fine Foods, Factory Grind and Coutts & Company Coffeehouse.) Details for all events can be found at www.lanarkanimals. ca

This Chop Suey is not a Chinese dish EMC Lifestyle - On one of our visits to Jeff’s parents, his mother and I went shopping in the local supermarket. In the bakery section, we came across a loaf of bread called a Chop Suey Loaf. We could see that it contained fruit, not Chinese vegetables, and decided to give it a try. With a soft texture and bits of candied fruit scattered through each slice, it was delicious, plain or toasted. After some experimenting when I got home, I came up with a similar loaf that I could make in my bread machine. To make this, use the diced candied fruit that you use in Christmas baking. It’s available year round from many bulk food stores and in the supermarkets around Christmas.
It’s important to rinse the candied fruit with water to remove excess sugar. This gives the bread a lighter texture. The recipe calls for skim milk powder and water. In some recipes, you can substitute milk for the dry milk powder, but not in this one. Milk makes the loaf heavy and dense, while the skim milk powder gives a much lighter texture. Chop Suey Loaf 3/4 cup water 1/4 skim milk powder 1 egg 1 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. white sugar 2 tbsp. butter or margarine, at room temperature 2 1/3 cups flour 1 cup candied fruit 1/4 cup raisins 1 1/4 tsp. bread machine yeast
Food ‘n Stuff PAT TREW
Before you start, measure the candied fruit into a sieve, and rinse it under cold water to remove excess sugar or syrup. Spread the fruit on a double thickness of paper towel, and blot up as much of the water as you can. Set aside. If your machine has an Extras option which adds fruit or nuts automatically, measure the raisins into the section for Extras. If it doesn’t, you will have to add the raisins later. Place the water, milk
powder, egg, salt, sugar and butter in the bread machine pan in the order given. After measuring the flour, use about 2 tablespoons of it, and lightly dust the candied fruit with it.
Place the remaining flour in the bread pan, then add the floured fruit. Leave a small area free of fruit, and measure the yeast into that spot. (You don’t want the yeast sticking to the fruit and not mixing into the batter.) Set the bread machine for the Sweet Cycle, or on some machines the Fruit and Nut Cycle. If it has the automatic Extras feature, press the Extras button. Don’t use the Delay Cycle with this loaf.
This recipe makes a 1 1/2 lb. loaf. If your bread machine has a setting for different loaf sizes, press the one for this size. Start the machine. If your machine doesn’t have the automatic Extras feature, it will beep when it is time to add extras. Add the raisins, and let the machine continue until the bread is done. Remove the loaf from the pan, and let it cool for an hour before slicing.

Almonte, St. John pummeled opponents in high school football action last week By JEFF MAGUIRE
Submitted photo
Close to $600 and a truckload of supplies was raised for LAWS, as a result of a retirement party/fundraiser for Madelyn Johnson. After 40 years teaching, her wish was to have a retirement party, and raise funds and supplies for the Lanark Animal Welfare Society. The event took place Sept. 23 at the North Elmsley Public School gymnasium. Johnson was even mentioned during a recent Rick Mercer report on CBC television.
EMC Sports - Almonte and District High School Senior Thunderbolts ran rough shod over Notre Dame Catholic High School Warriors at Beckwith Park field Friday, improving their perfect record to 3-0 in the Lanark County Senior High School Football League. On the artificial turf in Beckwith T-Bolts rang up eight touchdowns on their way to a 61-7 cakewalk. Dependable backfielder Wes Mann romped for 127 yards and two touchdowns to raise his season total to seven majors in just three outings. Jake Kargus raced for an additional 76 yards and one TD while Almonte quarterback Brett Mosley completed seven of eight passes, two of which went the distance. The aerial attack ate up a huge 180 yards. The other Thunderbolt majors were scored by Ben and Zach Kealey along with Andy Bassett and Ryan McCurdy.
Almonte head coach Chris Spratt says the onesided triumph occurred because his team “was firing on all cylinders. “It was a very big win for us,” he says. Smiths Falls and District Collegiate Institute RedHawks remain in second place in the Lanark senior loop despite absorbing their first loss, a 51-0 home field embarrassment at the hands of St. John Catholic High School Spartans. St. John remains a point behind in the six-team league. Carleton Place High School (CPHS) Golden Bears won their first game of the campaign Friday, edging visiting Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) Blue Devils 2621. Devils remain the only winless team in the senior league. In the second game of a senior-junior doubleheader at CPHS field, the Junior Bears Cubs improved to 2-0 with a 49-13 romp over PDCI. Carleton Place swept the afternoon twin-bill.
Other games in the Lanark-Renfrew Junior High School Football League saw Smiths Falls stay tied with CPHS after a 48-7 decision over visiting Almonte who remain winless. Meanwhile Renfrew Collegiate Institute (RCI) Raiders blanked Notre Dame Juniors 35-0 at Beckwith field to complete a tough afternoon for the Warriors who were also swept. The other game saw St. John knock off defending champion Arnprior District High School Redmen 16-6. Week 3 action in the Renfrew County Senior Football League saw twotime defending league and provincial Tier 2 champion Arnprior roll over Mackenzie High School Mustangs of Deep River 41-21 to stay perfect at 3-0. In the other league game RCI had an easy time against Fellowes High School of Pembroke. Raiders won 42-12 to improve to 2-1. Falcons are winless in three tries this season.

2013 Ford Escape takes on new platform EMC Lifestyle – The vehicles I road-test for these reviews (yes it’s a tough job, but I’m willing to make sacrifices) come from two main sources: press fleets owned by the Canadian head offices of the manufacturers and local dealerships. I prefer to use dealership units whenever possible because they more closely represent the trim and equipment level that you or I shop for, whereas press fleets are made up of fully loaded higher-end models. If you are interested in learning more about any of these vehicles, check out the manufacturers’ websites or better yet, call your local dealership and speak to one of their knowledgeable staff. It’s the ultimate in interactive information gathering. The Ford Escape I enjoyed for this review came from the friendly folks at Carleton Ford in Carleton Place. Whenever an auto maker decides to completely revamp a longstanding popular model, they take a risk. The Escape traces its roots back to 2000 when it was first introduced as a 2001 model year SUV. Ford resisted the trend to badge smaller SUV’s with a ‘Crossover’ label and marketed the Escape as a smaller, more efficient alternative to their Explorer. For 2013 the Escape takes on an entirely
new platform, shape, and power-train to bring it in line with Ford’s push to offer extremely fuel efficient vehicles without sacrificing power or performance. Early sales data points to Ford having made the right decision. The Escape starts the price run at $20,504 and tracks up to $45,454 for a fully loaded model. My Titanium trim level 4WD came in at $42,380 (all prices before destination fees, dealer prep, license, taxes, or current incentives). This Escape is powered by Ford’s EcoBoost 2.0 L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine putting out a healthy 240 hp. The Escape is also offered with a 2.5 L non-turbo 4-cylinder or a 1.6 L turbo-charged engine. No matter which engine you choose, power is transmitted to the wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission. My tester came with everything you’d expect from the ‘almost top rung’ on the trim level ladder and then a few surprises, such as heated power leather seats, high-intensity discharge headlamps with auto-levelling, remote start, telescoping steering column, power sun/ moon roof, 10 audio speakers, keypad entry, roof rack, 19” alloy wheels, the Ford My-Touch control system with voice command and the star of the recent TV ads: the hands-free power lift-gate

control, activated by a gentle kick to the rear bumper. The Escape’s interior is decidedly car like in terms of comfort and view and this new platform has taken all the harshness that smaller SUV rides are known for. The 2.0 L turbo-charged motor keeps the drive enthusiastic without a lot of engine noise or high revs. While some might think a move to a more car-like and fuel efficient SUV means a lighter weight: the 2013 Escape is actually around 200 lbs heavier than the 2012 version. This, and its fourwheel independent suspension makes for a smooth ride over varying road surfaces with predictable handling and a minimum of cross-wind effects when passed by commercial vehicles. New onboard control systems will automatically slow the vehicle when it’s cornering too fast and the 4WD system is also computer controlled requiring no driver input. Fold-flat rear seats allow for a variety of cargo capabilities and help to boost the Es-
cape’s capacity to 68.1 cubic feet behind the first row seats and 34.3 behind the second row. And like its predecessors, the 2013 Escape can tow up to 3,500 lbs (when properly equipped). Keeping an Escape on the road doesn’t have to break the bank. A dealership oil change runs around $50 (no synthetic oil is required on the turbo engines), an air filter costs $22.73, front brake pads are $139.95 and front brake rotors are priced at $74.62 each. Only the tires might provide some sticker shock. My tester was shod with P235/45R19 tires which are available from a small selection of tire makers with prices running from $295-$595 each. The SEL trim level 4WD might be a better deal for someone who’s not looking for all the bells and whistles. That version is priced at $36,388 and its P235/50R18 tires are available from a much larger number of makers in the $200-$350 per unit price range. Of course, the big numbers that are sure to bring
big smiles to Escape owners are its fuel economy ratings. NRCan gives the 2.0 L 4WD version a rating of 9.8L/100 km city and 6.9 L/200 km highway. That translates into 28.8 mpg city and 40.9 mpg highway. For comparison the U.S. EPA rates the Escape at 25.2 mpg city and 33.6 mpg highway (converted to imperial gallons). Using the NRCan figures the Escape’s 57 L fuel tank should provide an operating range of over 600 km in
a 50/50 mix of city/highway driving and cost about $75 to fill at $1.40 per litre (the turbo engines take premium fuel). The market place for compact SUV’s is a pretty busy and crowded affair, but Ford puts the Escape at the head of its class with technology to boost economy, improve driver safety, and beat Canadian winters.

British lines never go out of style ... EMC Lifestyle - An old friend, Michael Giroux (not in age but in years known) brought over his project car recently as he knew we shared an interest in all things British (wheels that is). His pride and joy, a 1962 Austin Healy 3000 MkII BT7 was enjoying its inaugural summer tour after a 14-year rebuild. The MkII’s were originally built from 19611962 by the British Motor Corp as a flagship model and could be had for the princely sum (back then) of around $3,700. Like many British sports cars of that era, they were advanced for their times with an extensive use of aluminum body panels, electric transmission overdrives, and even mounting points for optional seatbelts. Mike’s Austin Healey was built as a left-hand drive and shipped from Britain to Montreal in April of ’62. It was trucked to The Sports Car Factory in Hallville in pieces in October of 1998 and was freed to the highways just last month. This was a body on frame vehicle and the body shop custom built a new frame and basically rebuilt the bottom six inches of the vehicle. The body panels were all repaired without filler and sanded to a very fine finish before paint. The interior fabric and trim was replaced with

new as was every piece of chrome body décor and grille. The engine was disassembled and rebuilt and balanced by a shop in Cobden. Knowing he wanted this vehicle to last, Mike replaced every fastener, bolt, and nut he could with stainless steel, including the exhaust system. That and an electronic ignition system were about the only modifications done by Mike in an effort to keep the car as close to its original new condition as possible. The 3.0 L inline six engine is fed by two SU carburetors and produces an amazing 150 HP. This might not seem peppy, but in a car that only weighs 2465 lbs., it’s enough to force you to keep a tight grip on the steering wheel and move this 2-door along in a spirited manor. One of the only kinks left to sort out is the fine tuning of the twin carbs, but even though these can be adjusted by the hands of an expert to make the Austin purr like a kitten, Mike and other classic and antique vehicle owners are running into a host of fuel
system problems that can’t be resolved with a screwdriver. The biggest cause of damage to these chromed chariots (other than rust and teenagers) is ethanol or ethyl alcohol that’s found in pretty much every gas station in the province. While the high concentration E85 or 85 per cent ethanol fuel is hard to find in Canada, E10 or E15 or low alcohol content gas is pumped pretty much everywhere. If a gasoline brand does have ethanol content, the dispensing pump should be labeled with that information. In vehicles built before the mid ’80s, ethanol can weaken fuel pumps, damage carbs and injectors, and create crystalline deposits that can gum up the works. Verity Conrad, a communications advisor with Shell Canada provided some helpful tips for collector and antique car owners: “Shell does not currently add any Ethanol to V-Power in Canada so if a customer does not want Ethanol blended gasoline in a market where we blend in Ethanol they can use V-Power. Not all mar-
kets in Canada have Ethanol blended gasoline, in Shell’s case we normally post “may contain up to 10% Ethanol” at sites that can receive ethanol blended gasoline. If the site does not have these stickers at the pump then that site does not carry Ethanol blended gasolines. If you operate a vehicle that was manufactured prior to the mid 1980s you should exercise caution if you want to use ethanol blended gasoline. Older vehicles used fuel system components (such as seals and hoses) that were not designed to be compatible with ethanol-blended gasoline. Use of ethanol-blended gasoline in any vintage or classic vehicles is not recommended. Avoid storing ethanol-blended gasoline or conventional gasoline from one season to the next. During spring and fall, the volatility of gasoline is changed on a frequent basis and too much or too little vapour pressure can cause operational problems. Some manufacturers recommend that ethanol-blended gasoline not be used in their marine engines. Prior to using ethanol-blended gasoline, the customer should check their owner’s manual or contact their equipment manufacturer to ensure compatibility. For your boat, Shell continues to provide customers with an al-

EMC Events – Notre Dame Catholic High School (NDCHS) held its annual Terry Fox 5K Run/Walk on Sept. 25. Approximately 50 students participated, along with staff. Close to $2,100 was raised. Fox was just 18 when he was diagnosed with the rare osteogenic sarcoma, a form of bone cancer. As a result, his right leg was amputated six inches above the knee. Inspired by youngsters he met in a children’s cancer ward who were suffering with cancer, Fox began his Marathon of Hope cross-country fundraiser in St. John’s, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980. His goal was to raise $1 for every Canadian. He ran for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres before being forced to stop Sept. 1, 1980 in Thunder Bay, when the cancer was discovered in his lungs. Fox passed away at the age of 22 on June 28, 1981.
EMC News – Students at Caldwell Street Public School honoured the memory of a Canadian hero on Sept. 28 by participating in the Terry Fox National School Run Day. Clockwise from top left: On your mark, get set, go; principal Carole Dufort walks with enthusiastic students; and participating in the event was retired and beloved teacher Donna Ward. Although she was set to retire at the end of June, Ward was forced to leave six weeks premature because of her battle against breast cancer. She underwent a mastectomy on May 24 in Ottawa and is now doing well – and cancer free. The entire student population wore pink on Friday to demonstrate support.

What is breast cancer? Breast cancer starts in the cells of the breast. The breast tissue covers an area larger than just the breast. It extends up to the collarbone and from the armpit across to the breastbone in the centre of the chest. The breasts sit on the chest muscles that cover the ribs. Each breast is made of glands, ducts (thin tubes) and fatty tissue. Lobules are groups of glands that can produce milk. Milk flows from the lobules through a network of ducts to the nipple. The nipple is in the centre of a darker area of skin called the areola. Fatty tissue fills the spaces between the lobules and ducts and protects them. A woman’s breasts may feel different at different times of her menstrual cycle, sometimes becoming lumpy just before her period. Breast tissue also changes with age. Breast tissue in younger women is mostly made of glands and milk ducts, but older women’s breasts are made up mostly of fatty tissue. The breasts also contain lymph vessels and lymph nodes, which are part of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system helps fight infections. Lymph vessels move lymph fluid to the lymph nodes. Lymph nodes trap bacteria, cancer cells and other harmful substances. There are groups of lymph nodes near the breast under the arm, near the collarbone and in the chest behind the breastbone. Cancer cells may start within the ducts (this is called ductal carcinoma) or in the lobules (lobular carcinoma). Ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer.
The information in this section is about ductal and lobular carcinomas. Other types of cancer such as inflammatory breast cancer and Paget’s disease, behave differently and may need different treatment. For more information about other types of breast cancer, call our Cancer Information Services 1 888 939-3333 or e-mail info@cis.cancer.ca.

Hospital to offer buy-out package Inside By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca

EMC News – Over the next two to three months, hospital staff in both Smiths Falls and Perth will be offered an opportunity to take retirement or voluntary leave packages as part of the health organization’s efforts to bridge the budgetary shortfall for 2012. Linda Bisonette, interim president and CEO of the hospital, confirmed a series of meetings with general staff were held Oct. 1 to provide details on the results of a peer review process that began this summer. Further departmental meetings will be held with
the managers to speak to the specifics of each department plan. Bisonette said the next steps will be to speak with the unions in regards to the proposed packages. “It’s to ensure we take the most humane way possible to avoid layoffs,” Bisonette said of health care realities across Canada. “This is a time to do more with less.” Full details aren’t being released to the public until all staff have had a chance to be updated by their managers and hospital executives, but Bisonette did note that most of the financial cuts were focused in the Alternate Level

of Care (ALC) area. This relates to those patients who are in hospital waiting for longterm care accommodations. In the last two months doctors and community services have
worked to reduce the number of ALC patients in hospital from 31 to 16. In a press release dated Oct. 1 Bisonette stated: “The process was difficult and not undertaken lightly. I am proud of how we have pulled together to work through the number of changes that have taken place since June of this year. This plan will ensure that the hospital moves in the right direction and will continue to move to a surplus position in the coming years.” Bisonette told The Record News all hospital departments had at least a six per cent budget reduction with an eye to
achieving a balanced fiscal budget in 2014. “Certainly despite the significant strategies we’ve put in place we’ll be in a small shortfall position by the end of 2013,” Bisonette said. Lynda Hendriks, chair of the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital Board of Directors confirmed earlier this week that the hospital has completed a peer review process as announced earlier this summer.

EMC News – She still has some projects in mind for Smiths Falls. Pat Foulkes has seen a lot of things happen in the arts and culture world, and has been involved in much of that action. Because of her involvement with the preservation of culture and arts in Smiths Falls and the area, Foulkes was honoured this year as the Joyce Brennan Award recipient. Smiths Falls Coun. Lorraine Allen presented the award to Tom Foulkes on his wife’s behalf during a Culture Days gala evening held at the Eastern Ontario Railway Museum Saturday, Sept. 29. “Pat exemplifies leadership and cares about her community like no one I can think of,” said Allen. “This award is not just about art, but about things that people value and I’m proud to present it to my friend.” Tom Foulkes said Pat was at home recovering from her latest rounds of cancer treatments. “When I told her she had won this award, she said, ‘why me?’ and I said, ‘why not?’” Foulkes said he believed that Brennan would approve of the award recipient named in her honour. “Pat is honoured and thrilled,” he said. “And she has made a remarkable recovery from two weeks ago, but the risk of infection is too high for her to be here tonight. She’s had a lot of fun in the years

Lorraine Allen presents Tom Foulkes the Joyce Brennan Award Sept. 29 from the Smiths Falls and District Arts and Culture Council, which he accepted on behalf of his wife, Pat. we’ve lived here… and thank you very much.” Caring person Pat Foulkes has a long list of “things she cares about” in this community. As a founding member of Friends of the Library, she helped to establish a reading program at schools – for adults and children, Allen said. “She cares so much about literacy… she’s always fighting for literary programs.” She’s a member of the Canadian Federation of University Women and is the past president
this year. She also spearheaded the Volunteer Fair, which is like a trade show where information is available on the opportunities to volunteer in the community. “Pat was also active in the evolution of the Station Theatre,” Allen said. And she’s an advocate of the arts, is a library board member and a volunteer at schools. She’s also a member of the Trinity United Church and a lifetime member of REAL (Rideau Environmental Action League).
“Pat is never afraid to fight for what she believes in,” said Louis Tremblay, the president of Smiths Falls and District Arts and Culture Council, the sponsor of the Joyce Brennan Award. “Pat supports culture in Smiths Falls and the district and is proud of our move forward to bring together our culture and to show and celebrate life.” Tom Foulkes said his wife would be here to accept the award if it was two weeks down the road.
“She has a lot of projects for this community,” he said. “She’s tough and courageous… and she loves Smiths Falls.” The Joyce Brennan Award recognizes significant contributions to art and culture in the community. It was established just last year. Pat Foulkes is the second recipient of the award. It is named in honour of Joyce Brennan, a founding member of the Rideau Canal Museum Board and the Heritage House Museum, as well as a founding member of the SFDACC board.

Corporate donation kick starts Hutton Marsh project life,â&#x20AC;? Czarski added of the benefits from the rebuild proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re almost doubling the life spanâ&#x20AC;? of the dam. Ken Graham, chair of the RVCA confirmed this week that the organization approved replacement of the dam and is currently looking at whether they will replace it in the same design or not. Graham added the RVCA is looking at other avenues to fund the dam work. The second phase of the project will be to rejuvenate the wetlands by undertaking a multi-year process to cut back the cattails above the dam on Hutton Creek. Over time vegetative growth like cattails continue to grow in wetlands and, if go unchecked, can choke out the natural water pathways and destroy biodiversity. Czarski said the Hutton Marsh is currently sitting at 90 per cent vegetative growth when it should be 50 per cent. To repair this the RVCA is proposing to reduce the water level for one-to-two summers to dry out the lands and then raise the water level and drown out the cattails. The water level must go down another foot before drying out can begin. The second phase could cost roughly $15,000 to $20,000. This donation will help the RVCA in fundraising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We now have a large amount of money we can go and be taken seriously by other organizations,â&#x20AC;? Czarski said.

The peer review plan has been developed by the senior management, staff and members of the medical staff over the summer months and it was endorsed by Rob Devitt, CEO of Toronto East General Hospital and his review team. Further, the plan has been approved by the Hospital Board of Directors and subsequently, confirmed by the South East Local Health Integration Network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The solution is a plan that was generated from within, which I feel will make the roll-out a bit easier for everyone,â&#x20AC;? stated Hendriks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hospital family has worked

The work required at Hutton Marsh became urgent last fall when unknown individuals cut three logs inside the Motts Mills dam and drastically lowered the water levels while removing any ability for the RVCA to manage water levels in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tragedy what happened. Out of bad also comes good,â&#x20AC;? said Pickard. Repairing the dam is one of two major elements to the RVCA plans for the marsh. Martin Czarski, RVCA watershed ecologist said he will be looking for support from the
tirelessly over the summer to develop a plan that will make the organization more efficient while preserving its core services.â&#x20AC;? Bisonette also added that there is a lot of work to be done to realize the proposed savings in the coming fiscal years. Members of the medical staff have been actively engaged in the process under the leadership of Dr. Peter Roney, Chief of Staff and the Medical Advisory Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on the work behind the plan, I am confident that the changes will not impact acute volume or quality. It has been a group effort and I
believe that we will come out the other side in a better position,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Roney said. Devitt led a review team that analysed the financial and accountability processes of the hospital. He and his team generated a report which set out recommendations for the board and new CEO. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pleased with the efforts of the Perth and Smiths falls District Hospital. The peer review budgeting process is not an easy one, but in the fiscal reality of our province, it is a necessary action to keep hospitals stable. I firmly believe that the plan will help the organization for the longterm,â&#x20AC;? said Devitt.

said. The idea to support the Hutton Marsh project came after SKDC consulted with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) over how they could support habitat after a development in west Ottawa (Monahan Landing development project) required the movement of a stream and lost aquatic habitat.

EMC News - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a longterm project, but ecologists are overjoyed with the generous $250,000 donation made from South Kanata Development Corporation (SKDC) and its impact on a management plan for the Hutton Marsh area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were flabbergasted, amazed and very pleased,â&#x20AC;? said Charles Billington, executive director of the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation. During his introductory remarks at a formal celebration of the gift Sept. 26 at Motts Mills dam, Billington underlined the donation was made entirely voluntary and will have an enormous impact on the entire ecological area. The Hutton Marsh is seen by the RVCA as one of the largest provincially significant wetland areas in the Rideau watershed. According to Erling Armson of Ducks Unlimited the Hutton Marsh has traditionally been a haven for a variety of species at risk and turtles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It used to be very productive and a significant water fowl breeding area,â&#x20AC;? Armson said. Elizabethtown-Kitley mayor Jim Pickard echoed these sentiments Sept. 26 moments after the announcement was made. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The benefits here will be spread far and wide,â&#x20AC;? the mayor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without funding to get it started it may not have happened for a long, long time.â&#x20AC;?

County declines funding for Andrewsville Bridge By CHRIS MUST
EMC News - A mere “bump in the road” was how one member of the Friends of the Andrewsville Bridge described Lanark County Council’s decision not to contribute the funds needed to repair the damaged bridge and reopen it to vehicular traffic. County councillors voted Sept. 26 to uphold their Public Works Committee’s decision not to provide 50 per cent of the $50,000 needed to repair the bridge, which has been closed to traffic since May. The remaining share of the funding was to have been provided by the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville, since the bridge connects the two municipalities. The 100-year-old bridge was closed May 4 at the request of Parks Canada when a truck exceeding the posted five-tonne weight limit crossed the bridge, located on the Rideau Canal half way between Merrickville and Burritts Rapids. The adjacent Parks Canada swing bridge at Nicholson’s lock was damaged, forcing the closure of both bridges. A group of area residents calling themselves the Friends of the Andrewsville Bridge have since gotten together to lobby government to repair and reopen the bridges. Rather than approving the funds necessary to allow vehicles to use the Andrewsville Bridge, Lanark County Council voted to allow the bridge to be opened to pedestrians and bicycles only, pending a staff report which was to be presented to the county’s Public Works Committee at its Oct. 3 meeting. About 50 members of the Friends of the Andrewsville Bridge filled every available seat in the county council chamber during the Sept. 26 vote, and expressed their disappointment at council’s decision. “It’s not finished,” said Ann Hysert, who lives beside the bridge on the south side of the canal. “It’s a bump in the road.” Hysert said her group still has an opportunity to ask Leeds and Grenville counties to fund the whole repair project without Lanark County’s contribution. Members also intend to seek corporate and community donations
to help with the work. “I don’t think we’re saying no to anything,” said Hysert. Prior to the Sept. 26 vote County Councillor John Fenik, Mayor of Perth, urged council colleagues to overturn the Public Works Committee’s recommendation. He said Lanark County should put up its share of the repairs in partnership with Leeds and Grenville, “in the spirit that we originally agreed to do this.” He said council should reconsider in light of the “citizen engagement” represented by the community group, which is willing to get involved and help raise funds. The Friends of the Andrewsville Bridge are “a group of citizens who view this as an incredibly important asset to their community,” said Fenik.
“For this council to turn their backs on this group of citizens is incredibly shortsighted.” JOHN FENIK MAYOR, PERTH.
“For this council to turn their backs on this group of citizens is incredibly short-sighted,” concluded Fenik to prolonged applause from the public gallery. Supporting Fenik’s position, Montague Township Deputy Reeve Pat Dolan said, “I believe the community and the bridge deserve a second chance.” The bridge connects Montague Township (in Lanark County) on the north side of the canal to Merrickville-Wolford (in Leeds and Grenville) on the south side. Public Works Committee chair Susan Freeman, Deputy Reeve of Tay Valley Township, said she would be voting to uphold the decision not to provide the funding. Freeman said the bridge is an asset to the community which would be better protected by restricting traffic to pedestrians and cyclists than by allowing vehicles to use it and risking “a
catastrophic event” by having another heavy vehicle do permanent damage. Ironically, added Freeman, the county is more likely to receive large government grants for the bridge if it is pedestrian bridge than if it is a route for vehicles. Opening the bridge now to pedestrians doesn’t rule out the possibility that it could be upgraded in future to allow vehicular use, she said. Council was advised in June that an emergency inspection of the bridge on May 9 had revealed “distress in some of the truss members, which was not there in March, 2012, rendering the structure unsafe for vehicular traffic.” The report also noted that the future of the century-old bridge had been the subject of debate since 2005. About $150,000 worth of repairs were completed between 2007 and 2009 to keep the bridge open to vehicles of five tonnes or less. Fenik requested a recorded vote, in which a majority of council members voted to over rule the Public Works Committee’s decision not to fund the repairs. However, because such votes are weighted based on the population of the local municipalities represented by the county councilors, the vote was lost. Following the vote, Friends of the Andrewsville Bridge member Tom Mesman said, “I think it’s a shame; it’s so short-sighted of them to do this.” Mesman said he was also disappointed at the result of the vote because, “This is the first time the community has gotten together in such a large group.” Although an earlier report presented to council stated that an average of no more than 200 vehicles a day were using the bridge, Burritts Rapids resident Deborah Symmonds said there has been a significant increase in traffic in her community, which only has one single-lane heritage swing bridge, similar to the damaged Andrewsville Bridge. Speaking to council at the conclusion of the meeting, Lanark County Warden John Gemmell thanked the members for their input during the debate leading up to what was not an easy decision. “This is not personal, it’s business,” he said.

By STACEY ROY sroy@perfprint.ca EMC News - What once was a transitional home for Rideau Regional Centre (RRC) patients is now home sweet home for Ron and Joan Cassell, the first couple to move into the former institutional facility. “It’s just like living in heaven,” said Ron Cassell of his new abode. The retired couple moved into one of five former transitional homes at the Gallipeau Centre on Sept. 1 after an extensive renovation. “This house was completely gutted right back to the walls,” said Mr. Cassell. Tracy Gallipeau of J.A. Gallipeau Construction confirmed all the walls within the seven-bedroom transitional homes were removed before a new two-bedroom floor plan with living space put in its place. The duplexes are two 1,100-square-foot bungalow-style units. This design has proved most popular, according to Gallipeau who said the company hasn’t fully advertised the spaces as yet. “Three of the four of them are rented,” Gallipeau reported. Mrs. Cassell knows very well why the demand is so high. She is glad to be in the one-level home after leaving their much-loved farmhouse. As the years moved on Joan felt she could no longer manage the stairs safely. Her two faithful Chihuahua dogs are pleased with the change as well, having had their own tumbles on the steps. “It’s wonderful,” Joan said of the new home. “I couldn’t believe it when I walked in.” The transitional homes were not an uncommon site

Masonic lodge ramp Council formerly supported the building of a wooden ramp along the back end of the historically designated Masonic Lodge building. The ramp will tie into the side entrance and will not impact the front view, which is the key to its designation. The approval has a lifecycle of one year.
Health Unit strategic plan The Leeds-Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit’s 2013-2017 Strategic Plan is nearing completion. Comments will be accepted until Oct. 11 with the final report expected at the health unit board meeting by November this year.
Pedestrian link planning continues Town staff was given approval to continue the process of being shovel-ready for one or two proposed pedestrian pathways along the waterfront. Councillors seemed to prefer the path from the water toward the Railway Museum as their priority with the path behind the Comfort Inn following second. Coun. Lorraine Allen supported the motion saying: “I think it’s a very vital part of our community moving forward.” This work will require an extensive amount of assessments, studies and consultation with landowners.
EMC News - Eyes as big as saucers and a smile to match was the reaction Blayze Glaser of Smiths Falls had when her brand new pink Supercycle SC1800 was wheeled out. The eight-year-old was this year’s bicycle safety contest winner. She was presented the two-wheeler Thursday, Sept. 27 at the Canadian Tire store after her name was pulled from what is estimated to be 100 entries. Those names represent Smiths Falls children who were seen by police to be wearing their bicycle helmet on the roads. When asked why Glaser strapped on her helmet and followed the government requirement she replied: “To be safe.” Under the Highway Traffic Act anyone under the age of 18 must wear a bicycle helmet. Those over 18 are encouraged to wear a helmet for their safety. Deputy Police Chief Mark MacGillivray thanked the Smiths Falls Canadian Tire for donating the bike as well
LIPC update The Local Immigration Partnership Council (LIPC) is currently working on an employee guidebook. The objective of the council is to enhance the community’s welcoming nature to new immigrant residents.
Festival changes Coun. Dawn Quinn informed the town this week that the Canal, Railway and Music Festival will be returning to its previous weekend July 20-21, 2013 under a new name: Rideau Rural Roots. This festival will focus on multi-cultural activities. “We’re looking at a whole new breath of fresh air,” Quinn said.
Shoreline protection On Sept. 18, Quinn along with a few of her neighbours, was visited by a representative of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) to see how they undertook rebuilding their shoreline. Quinn said they were so impressed the area is being used as a guide for other people.
Upcoming events On Oct. 11 the next installment of International Film Festival will be shown at the Station Theatre. The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel will be the feature film. Tickets are still available at the library or the theatre that night. Also, movie nights continue at the theatre with the next showing Oct. 19 to 20 of Moonrise Kingdom. These nights will continue if public support demonstrates a need. Tickets are $10 at the door. It has been confirmed that on Thursday, Nov. 29 Smiths Falls will once again welcome the Holiday Train for an 8 p.m. show. This free event collects much needed food for the food bank and presents a live stage show with a number of popular stars. -S.R.

as Smiths Falls Crime Stoppers who provided eight $25 gift cards with one given out each week of the contest. “That’s what we’re here for,” said Carl Evoy of Crime Stoppers. MacGillivray had an opportunity recently to stop a young boy on his bike for wearing his helmet and watched the young lad’s initial fearful reaction turn to joy. Const. Dave Murphy, community services officer was pleased the police service partnered with both Canadian Tire and Crime Stoppers this year seeing the contest as a way to educate the public on bicycle safety and the importance of helmets in protecting individuals from brain injury. “It’s like a seat belt. If you’re not wearing it; it can’t help you,” Murphy said. This is the second time the contest has run in Smiths Falls. The inaugural contest was held two years ago, but those involved feel there was more community participation and more children wearing helmets this year.

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO – OCTOBER 1, 1912 The summer of 1912 will go down in history on account of its weather. According to the records it was the wettest and coldest in twenty years. There was only one period of real hot weather and so far as Canada goes that proves to have been the most torrid heat ever experienced. Mr. J.J. Johnston of Merrickville has been appointed postmaster at that place in succession to the late Mr. S. Jakes. Mr. Peter Ferguson who has been assistant postmaster for many years has resigned. The office will still be in the Jakes block and Mr. Johnston is now installed in his new work. He has given up the management of the Bell Telephone exchange and Mr. M.G. Corbett has been appointed in his stead. The office will shortly be moved to his store. 50 YEARS AGO – OCTOBER 4, 1962 The first official objections to the amended parking by-law for Smiths Falls was received by Town Council on Monday night and will result in a special meeting to be held between the Traffic Committee and the complainants. Specifically, the merchants in the Daniel-Elmsley street area object to the no parking regulations being imposed on the north side of Daniel Street and the east side of Elmsley street. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind “blitz” held in town on Monday night was the most successful ever held, according to D.R. Morrow, County Campaign Chairman. A total of $1, 680 was collected by the 300 volunteer canvassers and other donations received brought the total by Tuesday to $1, 850. R.J. Beach of Smiths Falls will leave next month for Japan where he will be part of a trade mission to that country and will discuss with Japanese authorities trade and economic relations between Canada and Japan. Mr. Beach is a member of the executive council of the Canadian Manufacturer’s Association. 25 YEARS AGO – OCTOBER 7, 1987 The long-term future of Rideau Regional Centre (RRC) remains up in the air but rumours that it will be turned into a correctional facility for young offenders are dead wrong, says administrator Wynn Turner. Following a peaceful day on the picket line Monday, more than 250 area postal clerks in Smiths Falls, Ottawa and seven other Ottawa Valley towns were locked out yesterday (Tuesday). The lockouts are Canada Post’s response to strike action by post office employees. In an effort to entice Planters Peanuts employees from Toronto to relocate here, the company is organizing bus trips to our town within the next three weeks. 10 YEARS AGO –OCTOBER 2, 2002 Two years ago, library board members could only dream about what this Smiths Falls landmark could look like with a full restoration. On Saturday, Sept. 28 that dream was very real as the Carnegie library re-opened its doors to the public following an extensive summer-long renovation which has breathed new life into the century-old building. Mr. Houlahan presented a petition to council with 26 names from the residents of Carroll Road. The residents would like to see the speed limit changed from 80 km/h to 60 km/h from the north side of the CPR crossing to the junction of the Carroll and Ferguson-Tetlock Roads. Houlahan told council that since the re-surfacing of Carroll Road the amount of traffic, both vehicular and pedestrian, has increased. Compiled by: STACEY ROY

Thanks Parks Canada; my bro still rocks EMC Lifestyle - Please excuse me while I brag a bit about my brother. He rocks. This week, the Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce named Steve Weir as their new tourism manager. He asked me to help write his bio so the chamber could introduce him in the media. Hmm, I thought, I might be able to write a little something. So to do that, he supplied me with his resume and cover letter. When it came to me via email, my computer crashed because it was so big. I kid you not. When I applied for this job (or to the position in Ottawa before all the transfers and merger happened) I had a grand total of two pages -
Weir View LAURIE WEIR one for my resume and one for my cover letter. His was 11 in total. Gah! I guess his 20-plus years as a Parks Canada employee certainly paid off for him, and the chamber in Brockville got a great man in the process. “We couldn’t be happier with the decision to welcome Steve to our team and are extremely thrilled by the background and experience he will bring to the position at a pivotal time for tourism in
Brockville,” said Anne MacDonald, Executive Director of the Brockville and District Chamber of Commerce. Steve was but a wee lad still in high school when he started at Parks Canada. I couldn’t imagine staying in one place more than 10 years (that was my longest tenure as a reporter in Morrisburg) until I got this far. Now I’m set... and my brother seems to be calmer now, too. Since Steve realized his job was in jeopardy earlier this year, he was having a hard time coming to grips with the fallout from being named a surplus employee. With a young family, he was toying with his options - not only the ones given to him by his employer, but by
other things he wanted to do but never had the opportunity. He’s an engineer of music, so I thought he’d go that route and set up his own studio... regrow the mullet. Maybe not. “As a Canadian delegate, the trip to New Zealand for the inscription on the World Heritage List was the highlight of my career,” he told me. One of the highlights of my life, little brother, is having you in it. You still rock. GUITAR NOTES Here we go - it’s metronome time. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this guitar thing, Mr. Briggs brings out the big gun. Stay tuned...
Letters to the Editor
Hate crime results in reader outrage DEAR EDITOR: We want to express our outrage at the burning of a pride flag in Montague Township as reported in the Record News, Sept. 27, 2012 and regret that Debra and Jeannette bore the brunt of that backlash. It has often been true that when lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people live more openly in the greater community that repercussions are felt. However it only serves to galvanize our community into continuing to strive for greater acceptance and inclusion and work towards creating a safe, respectful community for all.
Sincerely, Maureen Bostock and Elizabeth Snyder Balderson, Ontario

What I find most disappointing is the apparent lack of interest in local citizens who take the time to voice their concerns over an issue such as this group has. Where we were able to garner support (Montague Twp), assistance and in some cases reversal of previous decisions (specifically Merrickville-Wolford Twp and United Counties Leeds Grenville), my own county, where I pay taxes, refused to acknowledge beyond platitudes our presence and voice. Isn’t it participation that

municipal governments lament the continuing decline of. Is it a wonder why when staff reports carry more weight than voters. Where it is easy for elected officials to say we followed the best advice we had when reality is that you ignored the citizens you are supposed to represent and the solutions we offered. It was not an elegant solution that we offered. A few years continuation of service for this bridge that we depend upon so that we could come up with more permanent solutions. We said we would take on that responsibility working within the structures of gov-
ernment but we were ignored. I personally am not interested in spending tax dollars on an ornamental structure that services no one. It is a working bridge that I used daily. For the same money, if not less than it will take to make a pedestrian walkway, we could have something that local citizens can actually use. I do acknowledge the support of a few councillors but again I am extremely disappointed in this decision and this council. Sincerely, Ross McMurchy Montague Twp

Search and rescue team on a mission in Montague By LAURIE WEIR ljweir@metroland.com
EMC News - They do it so other people may live. The Rideau Search and Rescue Team was deep in the woods Sunday morning (Sept. 30) on a training exercise. They had to find a missing hunter – who happened to be a 180-pound dummy, strategically placed inside a denselywooded, 250-acre parameter in Montague Township, just east of Smiths Falls. Dan Beaulieu is the search commander. The group has been helping assist the Ontario Provincial Police in ground searches of missing persons since 2009. Their most recent deployment was in the spring, as they helped to locate a missing senior in the White Lake area. Beaulieu is retired from the air force, but he has experience in search and rescue. It was a natural fit for him to jump on
board this local volunteer initiative four years ago. About 20 members of the team were in the woods for this training exercise, including four on horseback. They were given the details of the missing person, divided into groups and then searched in grid patterns along the areas where the hunter was last seen. They were not looking for the hunter specifically, but for clues. “I’ve been in here (the woods) since Friday, and yesterday (Saturday) I dropped clues along the route that will direct them to the ‘body’,” Beaulieu said. A backpack, shotgun shells, a glove and other items were hidden in the woods for the team to find, among other clues like a footprint. “I was very impressed. They found about 80 per cent of the clues,” he said. Another 10 per cent of the clues weren’t found by the
ground teams because the mounted group discovered the dummy. The ground teams then stopped their search to help bring the dummy out of the woods. Monday, Beaulieu said he graduated eight members from their initial year probation, to the search and rescue team who are now able to go on a call for service. “It was one of the best training exercises we’ve had yet,” he said. “They really excelled at the practical aspect of this training exercise.” When volunteers are first recruited, they are on probation for a year. During that time, they learn the ropes, and are certified and trained before being called to the SAR team. The group gets together for training about twice a month. Everyone volunteers their time and all are trained in various search and rescue techniques, including a Level
C CPR. “The team is a member of the Ontario Search and Rescue Association (OSARVA), which is the governing body for Volunteer Search and Rescue teams within the Province of Ontario and is the liaison between the OPP, NSS (National Search and Rescue Secretariat), EMO (Emergency Management Ontario) and other Volunteer SAR teams,” Beaulieu said. The group may be having a homecoming of sorts in the near future, as the Gallipeau's of the Gallipeau Centre (formerly, the Rideau Regional Centre) in Smiths Falls, have offered the team the use of a room on the property to use as its headquarters, Beaulieu said. There was a search and rescue team on the property when it was the RRC. The team was formed to help detect missing residents. They also worked with the police and the army,

said Tom Whitney, who was a former employee of the RRC and also one of the members of that rescue team. “We had a couple residents go missing about 30 years ago and died from exposure to the elements,” Whitney said. It was because of this that Bill Armstrong, another staff member at the RCC, felt the need to have a search and rescue team on the grounds. “We worked with Bill and eventually he retired and John McConnel and I kept the team together and we completely inventoried every door – each person was accounted for so that it was easier to track them down when they went missing. “We helped the police find missing persons too, and sometimes the army would send young troops to get some initial training in search and rescue with us.” It was when the centre closed in 2009 that the name
changed to the Rideau Search and Rescue Team as more community members became involved. “Once the RRC closed, the team reached out to the community and there were 15 members on it,” Beaulieu said. “Now we’re up to 52 members. It’s growing in leaps and bounds.” Beaulieu says the team is now in talks with the Smiths Falls Police Service to be able to work along side the local force as well as with the OPP. Deputy Police Chief Mark MacGillivray says they are optimistic to be able to team up with more resources. “We’ve been in discussions with the group with the possibility of adding the use of their services in Smiths Falls,” MacGillivray said. “We are partners with the OPP and the added use of resources would be great.”

Fred passed away, peacefully, at Lanark Lodge, on Wednesday, September 26, 2012. Fred Walker, at the age of 97 years. A devoted and loving husband, he was predeceased by his beloved wife, Marjorie, in 2011. He will be sadly missed by his children (by birth and marriage), his grandchildren, and one great grandchild, as well as friends from near and far. Fred was a loving and supportive father, and a fantastic grandfather. A world traveler, he and Marjorie visited 38 countries in their 60 plus years together. A life long scholar, Fred had a particular interest in Mesoamerican cultures- Maya, Aztec, Anasazi etc. Intrepid explorers, he and Marjorie visited Mayan ruins in the Yucatan back in the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, before many of the sites were cleared or open to tourists. Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of learning is one of the many gifts he has passed along to all those who had the privilege of spending time with him. In keeping with Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, there will be no visitation or formal service. Give someone you love a hug, in memory of Fred, and the next time you are on an adventure of your own in some farflung country, think about how much Fred and Marjorie would have loved to be there with you! Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the entire staff of the Lanark Lodge, for the love, concern, and exemplary care that our father (and our mother) received while residents there. Fred was an avid supporter of the Guatemala Stove Project (www.guatemalastoveproject.org) Contributions in Fredâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name will help build stoves to benefit the respiratory health of Guatemalan families. Mr. Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dacre Family Funeral Home, Perth 613-267-3082.

CL382196
Passed away peacefully at Lanark Lodge, Monday, October 1, 2012 at the age of 86 years. He leaves to mourn his beloved wife and best friend of over sixty-five years, Ella (Ily) MacLeod; their children, Jim, Dave (Denise), Bruce (Emma), Doug (Lu-Anne), Jeff, Liz (Paul), Barb (Greg) and KC (Ron). He will be fondly remembered by his grandchildren, great-grandchildren, relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, his sister and daughter-in-law (Sue Connell). Mr. Connell lived a full and distinguished life. Born and educated in Nova Scotia schools and at Acadia University, he began his working life with the Royal Bank of Canada as a teller. He left the bank and with Ily, his Whycocomagh bride, moved to Ontario to begin married life and pursue a career in personnel administration, working progressively for private industry companies including Lucas Rotax, Frigidaire, Union Carbide, Lake Ontario Portland Cement and Allied Chemical. Those early years saw Peter and Ily (and a steadily increasing number of children) living in Toronto, Belleville, Montreal, Picton and Montreal again. In 1966, Mr. Connell moved his family to Ottawa, where he joined the federal public service as Director of Personnel for Transport Canada. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Transport Canada Training Institute in Cornwall, Ontario, still operational today. In 1970, Mr. Connell was appointed Deputy Secretary (Personnel Policy) at the Treasury Board working under then Treasury Board President, the Honourable Jean Chretien. Mr. Connell was appointed Deputy Minister, National Revenue (Customs and Excise) in 1974 and served in that role for 7 years during which time he directed the development of the Canada Customs College at Rigaud, Quebec. To his great pleasure, the college was officially opened as the J.P. Connell Campus in spring of 1980. While Deputy Minister at Customs and Excise, Mr. Connell was elected Vice-President and then President, of the International Customs Cooperation Council based in Brussels, Belgium. In 1982, Mr. Connell was appointed Deputy Minister of Agriculture where he remained until his retirement from the federal public service in 1986. While at Agriculture Canada, he led delegations to countries throughout the world including the former Soviet Union, China, New Zealand, Australia, Venezuela, and Mexico. In 1983, Mr. Connell had the privilege to welcome Mikhail Gorbachev to the Central Experimental Farm during Mr. Gorbachev’s first visit to Canada. Mr. Connell was a proud and true public servant, respectfully honoured at his official retirement when presented with a Canadian flag and flag pole, and a rose bearing his name, the J.P. Connell rose. The characteristics of the rose were described to be much like his “…mostly without thorns, capable of surviving the sometimes (politically) cold Ottawa winters, producing beautiful lemony flowers for all to enjoy.” After leaving the public service, Mr. Connell managed his own consulting firm where his expertise was sought to lead the agricultural trade negotiation team for the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) alongside Chief Negotiator, Simon Reisman. He continued to serve, sitting on the boards of directors for the Agricultural Research Institute of Ontario, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the University of Guelph, Kemptville College Campus, as well as the committee for the restoration of the Spencerville Mill. In the early 1970s, Peter and Ily moved outside Ottawa to establish a working farm on 150 acres in Oxford Station, Ontario. Together, they cultivated and managed a successful breeding stock of Simmental cattle for almost 20 years, meeting many good people within the farming community. (Outside the farming community, it was sometimes suggested Peter was a “gentleman farmer”, a term that he always contested with the same reply: “While I’ll admit to be a gentleman and a farmer, a gentleman farmer I am not.”) They sold the farm in 1990, downsizing to a smaller ten-acre farm property near Spencerville, Ontario. As he settled into his retirement years, Mr. Connell became J.P. and found great enjoyment in fishing trips and family gatherings at the farm. Together always with Ily, he raised sheep, indulged his interest in cooking and bread-making, and travelled (mostly to visit their children in various parts of the world, and family at home in Nova Scotia). Interestingly, he lived his later days as the co-proprietor, with Ily, of Connell Rose Bed & Breakfast, at their home. For several years, he played host to travellers from across Canada and around the world. As visitors entered the drive, they were greeted with the Canadian flag flying proudly, a row of J.P. Connell rosebushes, and J.P. himself. In 2009, Peter suffered a stroke, which eventually prompted a move to Perth, Ontario to be closer to family. Mr. Connell was deeply in love with his wife and immensely proud of his children. He did not want to grow old. He leaves behind memories of a lifetime of hard work and accomplishment, love, honour and respect. He will be so greatly missed, and always remembered. Friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St. W. Perth on Thursday, October 4th, 2012 from 4:00 until 8:00 P.M. The service will be held in the Chapel on Friday at 11:00 A. M. Interment will be held at a later date in Round Hill, Nova Scotia. In remembrance, contributions to the Lanark Lodge Memorial Fund or the Salvation Army would be appreciated. A hardy, beautiful rose.

McLAREN, Andrew - Loved brother and uncle, killed by a drunk driver. Oct. 19\77 - Sept. 28\96. ‘Tis that time of year again, a time I’d like to forget. It slowly crept upon us, reminding me, I can’t forget. It’s in my heart, It’s on my mind, flashbacks are what I get, reliving it all over like an actress on a set. From the moment we answered the door that morning, till the time we laid you down, I cannot stop this play I’m in, it’s like a merry-go-round. No matter how many years go by, this play continues on. For some of us it never ends, but goes on and on. Maybe someday this play will end and I can take a final bow, letting others know that I made it through some how. Wishful thinking on my part as I know it will never be. When I get flashbacks of that horrible night, it consumes and swallows me. Our hearts ache without you Andrew. Love Stephanie and Blade

To all grandparents and victims of the social system -We the grandparents need to take a stand to bring back family values. We as grandparents have raised children and need to be given the respect we have earned. New parents, even if they wish to not have a relationship with their own mothers and fathers should not keep grandchildren from their grandparents. As grandparents, and the older generation, we have knowledge and experiences new parents don’t have as of yet. New parents seem to take advantage of us financially, through babysitting and more. When we wish to have a relationship with our grandchildren the favour is not returned. I make a plea to all grandparents to write a letter to us in support of grandparents everywhere -we need to be brought back into our grandchildren’s lives. (P.O.Box 455, Station Main, Perth ON K7H 3G1)

Reverse logic at work in terms of rail travel EMC Lifestyle - We live in a Carleton Place neighbourhood where a rail freight line runs along the back of our property. We bought this house with the full knowledge trains ran behind it. We’ve lived here for more than 20 years and have co-existed very nicely with the rail line. Sure there was the odd occasion when shunting freight cars in the middle of the night woke us up. Once in a while a train engineer would blow the whistle too long. And very rarely an idling engine proved to be an annoyance. Mostly though the trains just rolled past and disappeared into the distance and more often than not they were a good time check. We got used to the daily schedule and could pretty well predict when the next train would pass. We got so used to trains that the only time we took notice of them was when visitors would comment on the fact the tracks were close to our place. We like trains and are more than content to see them running through our community. Now the only trains which pass our subdivision are work trains. Crews are in the process of tearing up the rail freight line between Arnprior and Smiths Falls. They haven’t reached Carleton Place yet but they are working in neighbouring Mississippi Mills, so our turn is coming soon. The track itself and other infrastructure are being shipped west where it is being used to help lay a new line to the oil fields of northern Alberta. Like so many Canadian communities Carleton Place was once a major rail hub. Freight and passenger services ran through the town and residents were once able to hop on the train in the morning and travel to nearby Ottawa for work or a day of shopping in the big city. At night they took the train home. Those days are long gone. My wife and I moved here 36 years ago and the daily passenger service to and from Ottawa was already a distant memory. The cross-country train ‘The Canadian’ called here right through the 1970s. But in the early `80s the 28 kilometres of track between here and Nepean was closed and in the blink of an eye the tracks were torn up. It was incredible how fast that line disappeared! I was the editor of the local community newspaper at the time. I wrote editorials lamenting the loss of the passenger rail line and predicted we would all live to regret that decision. I’m sorry to say that I was absolutely right in this case. We now know that corridor and rail track
would have been the perfect channel for a light rail service from bedroom communities such as Carleton Place, Mississippi Mills and Beckwith Township to Ottawa where so many of our residents work. True, they have finally completed the four-laning of busy Highway 7 from Stittsville west to Carleton Place and that is a Godsend. Overcrowded roads On the other hand ask anyone in the “commuter army” from here and they will tell you the new highway “only gets you to the jam faster.” Highway 417 through Kanata and Nepean remains a bottleneck and it will probably continue to be despite a project aimed at widening the roadway to three lanes in each direction. There are simply too many cars and trucks, especially during rush hour Monday to Friday. We need light rail to improve the passenger transportation links to the city. But with the rail infrastructure gone that is only a pipe dream. The cost of reestablishing such a system from scratch is totally cost prohibitive. Certainly government – the taxpayers –can’t afford to pay for it. Shame on those shortsighted people who made the decision to tear up the passenger line in the early 1980s! Now the same thing is happening to the freight line which, if there was any will to do so, could also serve as a passenger link. But in a province where the road and street infrastructure is crumbling under the ever growing weight of more and more motor vehicles we are left with virtually no other good, surface travel options in so many communities. The bus is the best option here but that too is limited. At least you can grab a Greyhound to Toronto! The only rail alternatives for people here are in Smiths Falls or Barrhaven, in south Ottawa, where VIA Rail stations are in place. That line will get you to Brockville, Kingston, Toronto and points in between and is a very viable service. But the line is inaccessible to so many people across Eastern Ontario, including ourselves. They built a brand new VIA station in Smiths Falls recently. A great concept but the building is remarkably small, parking is limited and the washrooms were added as an afterthought. Part of the limited thinking that clearly surrounds passenger rail service in this country! We recently returned from Great Britain where people also complain long and loud about the deteriorating passenger rail service.
Reflections JEFF MAGUIRE
There is very little to complain about that we can see. After flying to Glasgow, via London, we spent a few days in Comrie, Scotland which is twinned with Carleton Place. We were there for 20th anniversary observances and represented our community as members of the Sister City Committee which I currently chair. Part two of our UK visit was a week in London. Kathleen and I and our friends Wendy and Frank LeBlanc (she is the current Mayor of Carleton Place) elected to take the train from Scotland to London. We all enjoy train travel, especially in Europe where service is so much more advanced. True there is no train to Comrie any more. Many small communities have been cut off which is unfortunate. But the train is not far away and the system works. In this case our friend George Lees drove us to nearby Dunblane, the home of Olympic and U.S. Open men’s tennis champion Andy Murray. I mention Murray because in the wake of the Olympics there were signs in Dunblane congratulating their native son on his recent success! From Dunblane we easily caught an early morning ScotRail commuter train to Edinburgh’s Waverley Street Station. The ride was smooth as silk and we arrived right on schedule. Waverley Station doesn’t have a lot to recommend it really. A big, ugly barn of a place. But you can catch trains to communities across Scotland, England and Wales. We took the main east coast line from Edinburgh south to King’s Cross Station in London, a very familiar destination for Kathy and me. On this trip the only stops were in Newcastleupon-Tyne, Darlington and York all in northeast England. From York it was a really fast, efficient run into London. They have renovated King’s Cross over the past few years and it is even easier to get around now with new elevators added and other customer-friendly improvements made. The taxi queue is in the same place it always was, opposite St. Pancras Station, and we soon caught a cab to our hotel. A few days later we took the Brighton Express from Victoria Station in Central London to the south coast resort city, one of our favourite seaside destinations in Britain. After an enjoy-
merous factors at work here. But for my money we have completely missed the boat when it comes to this fast, efficient means of transportation and that is a terrible shame for all of us! Where is the logic in what
we are doing in Canada when it comes to public transport? If you have any comments or questions for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by e-mail at: jeffrey.maguire@rogers.com
able, sunny day in Brighton we reversed field and headed back to London on a late afternoon train. Everything went absolutely swimmingly. With rail passes pre-purchased at our local travel agent’s the process is amazingly simple. UK trains are almost as efficient as the London Tube which is absolutely incredible by the way! We’ve traveled across the length and breadth of Britain by rail over the course of 17 years and rarely had a problem. Meanwhile back in Canada to call rail travel “service” is being far too generous. The system stinks quite frankly and with more rail lines being torn up as we speak, the situation can only get worse. In this day and age with fuel costs high, main roadways overcrowded and air travel cost prohibitive for many of us the railway just seems like such a wonderful alternative. If we had any rail links to speak of that is. Obviously there are nu-

Hillcrest Cemetery signage installation now under way sroy@perfprint.ca
EMC News - Before the winter season is upon us, family members and researchers will have a greater ability to navigate Hillcrest Cemetery when new signage is installed on site. The installation of 27 directional signs is part of an over-all cemetery digitization project funded by a $42,900 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. Approximately half of the sign posts were cemented into the ground Sept. 25 with the second grouping to be installed before the winter frost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most definitely theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re (signs) going to be up before the snow hits the ground,â&#x20AC;? confirmed Sarah Rathwell, Hillcrest Cemetery archival project coordinator. The signs have been designed to be in keeping with the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green heritage trail signs and are currently in the fabrication phase. Once the project is complete visitors will see each

Gerry Linton, cemetery superintendent works to shovel cement into one of 27 sign post holes Sept. 25 while museum staff, Sarah Rathwell holds the post in place and Steve Needham of McNamee Concrete manages the process in the background. The signs will help visitors find their loved ones easily by identifying sections and providing an area map.
REAL Deal store powers on EMC News - The REAL Deal is pleased to have full power back in the store. In December it was determined there was a break in an underground cable, but it was decided to wait for the ground to thaw so the entire aging cable could be replaced. In the meantime the store did not have sufficient electrical power for all needed appliances, including fans to beat the heat. Thanks to Crosbie Electric and the Town of Smiths Falls for seeing that the job got done. Next on the list of renovations is to make better use of the oil tank room, which is not required since our conversion to propane heat last winter. The room is on the right as you enter the store and extends
the length of the kitchenware/ smalls area. One major outcome of these changes is that staff will be able to display more furniture, including what is being stored in the trailer. Sales have remained strong in the summer, although donations declined somewhat. This is likely a result of the heat, and also because fewer people were holding their own garage sales and passing on the remainders. We fully expect donations to bounce back with the cooler weather. The REAL Deal would not be possible without our terrific volunteers. We have an urgent need for additional volunteers to sort, price, test appliances, and generally help out. Submitted by REAL Deal.

area of the cemetery signed with its own letter. That letter can be found on a 4x5 foot map that will be mounted on the side of the chapel. Those looking for a particular loved one will be welcome to either search them at home online (through the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website - www.smithsfalls.ca) or flip through a binder of informa-
tion where each cemetery resident is listed with their name, date of death and interment and their location in the cemetery. These binders will be available at the chapel, Heritage House Museum and the Town Hall. Museum staff is excited to see this project move forward and provide a greater opportunity to cele-
brate the lives that inhabit the cemetery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone in this cemetery has contributed something to the growth of this community,â&#x20AC;? Rathwell said in a previous interview. The townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical staff is now working on creating a format to house the online database. The hope is that this database will be available on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website and will allow residents to search for their individual loved one through a simple search function. The online and physical location of materials is only one phase of the year-long project that began at the start of 2012. On Saturday, Nov. 10 Heritage House Museum staff will be hosting a special tour alongside history students from the Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to offer a veterans tour for Remembrance Day,â&#x20AC;? Rathwell explains. Many Second World War veterans are buried in the cemetery. The plan is to bring these names to life with the help of students who have been researching war heroes from the cenotaph this semester. Rathwell feels thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to learn from someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
grave site, particularly from the art work chosen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of deep meaning behind the symbols they choose,â&#x20AC;? Rathwell previously said, adding a lamb often refers to a child. The Hillcrest Cemetery is a thriving community full of images and stories to share. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roughly 9,000 10,000 individuals who are laid to rest in the ground. Hillcrest began its service to the town in 1830 as a personal cemetery for the Simpson family - one of two founding families. Town residents who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own land would pay the Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the ability to bury their dead on their property and by 1869 the Town of Smiths Falls purchased the land and began to operate it as a community cemetery. Today, Hillcrest is the peaceful resting place of some of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most prominent residents. With this in mind itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprising the traffic the cemetery sees is substantial. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had to be done because people want this information,â&#x20AC;? Rathwell said. The museum staff estimates about 900 calls were received last year alone by various locations requesting information about the cemetery.

Friends, family of Dan Burns express support at upcoming fundraising dance in Perth EMC Events – On Monday, Sept. 3 Dan Burns’ life abruptly changed. The Smiths Falls resident was cutting the grass when the machine he had been riding ran over him causing significant injuries to his lower body and extremities. Since then he has been in hospital undergoing medical treatment and surgeries with at least one major surgery remaining. Brittany Burns, Dan’s oldest of three daughters, who recently secured a job as an RN at Perth’s emergency room, has taken a leave from work to be at her father’s bedside and is encouraged by the gains he has made so far. “He’s doing better every day,” she said. Brittany never dreamed her father would be one of her first patients, but said the opportunity to be with him at this time has provided some moments for learning. While the family focuses on helping Dan recover, friends are working to organize a fundraiser as a way to provide some relief from the unknown future health costs
Dan will be faced with. “We really don’t know what he’s going to need when he comes home,” Brittany added. “He’s going to need a lot of help getting back to his old self or his modified self.” On Nov. 17 Dan will feel the warmth of his friends and family’s well wishes, when a fundraising event is held at Farrell Hall in Perth in his honour. The dance will be an evening for all who know Dan to come together and express their support for his recovery. The evening will include a couple of live bands featuring co-workers and friends. The event was originally booked and paid for at the Smiths Falls Civitan Club, but organizers were recently notified that the venue was no longer available, which came as a shock. “It’s wrong what they did,” said Connie Kelford, event organizer. “Everybody’s goal in this is to help Dan and Pam and the three girls out.” Jim Wiltsie, Civitan secretary sent the notification email to Kelford and told The Record News the hall couldn’t

accommodate the planned fundraiser and its anticipated size as 300 tickets had already been sold. The Civitan Club website states “Our banquet facilities can accommodate 300 people.” Kelford did put in a request to split the bar sales between the service club and the Burns family, which was voted down at a recent Civitan board meeting. Kelford thanks Terry Lee for donating the use of Farrell Hall in Perth for the event, as well as Healey Transportation which is providing a shuttle bus from Smiths Falls to Perth for the 8 p.m. event. The family hopes this upcoming fundraiser will assist Dan and his family in some of the unknown costs associated with suffering a tragic accident, while allowing colleagues from his dental profession and friends a chance to show their support for someone they care about. Brittany says she feels the show of support that will come from the dance will mean a lot to her father during his lengthy recovery. “We are so thankful for all the community support that we are receiving,” Brittany said. Kelford said a silent auction, 50-50 draw and raffle for items like a new guitar will also be available for attendees. Tickets for the evening are still available by calling Connie Kelford at 613-699-6178 or email her: clkelford@yahoo. ca. Tickets are $5 each with all proceeds going to the Burns family.

Determination, spirit showcased at SFDCI By ROB FOURNIER
EMC News - At the Nest this week, RedHawk determination and spirit were front and centre as students began their third week back at SFDCI. An emotional day for many, Wednesday was host to the annual Terry Fox Marathon of Hope, where hundreds of students ran and walked to help cure cancer. The week ended with a large Pep Rally to celebrate the home opener for both the senior and junior football teams. For many SFDCI students, cancer is a well-known adversary. It carries the face of loved ones lost and the stories of many with it. One of the most inspirational stories is that of Canadian legend Terry Fox, who fought his cancer and inspired a nation with his Canada-wide Marathon of Hope. Decades after Terry
RED & WHITE began his Marathon of Hope, people from across Canada lace up every year to run or walk to promote cancer research, including SFDCI students. More than 260 students took part in the marathon, all sporting “I run for…” name tags, honouring the memory of those lost to or fighting cancer. In the marathon, first place was given to Turner Onion, who ran the 5 kilometres in a fantastic 20:26, beating second place Garrett Closs by 10 seconds (20:36). When Turner Onion was asked about his favourite thing about the marathon, the first place finisher replied, “beating Garrett.” Wrapping up the podium finishes was Ben Ireland who
finished with a strong time of 21:01, a strong three-minute finish above fourth place Ian Hall (24:14). The general mood at the finish line was wrapped up by Petra Petasi (27:05) who, when asked why she had participated, replied, “For fun and a good cause.” On Friday, SFDCI Students’ Council honoured the beginning of football season with a dedicated Pep Rally salute to our teams and players. With the entire school excused for the afternoon, students were taken to the football field out back to celebrate the beginning of sports at SFDCI for another year. Players were led out by Rodney the RedHawk, the school mascot, to cheers and
applause. Students’ Council then introduced the players individually to the roaring crowd, providing information such as their name, number, position, and favourite thing about the game. The spirit and dedication of the students was almost overwhelming to many of the team members. “As a player, it really means a lot, you know? When the whole school comes together like this, it’s like really spectacular,” commented Brandon Perry, a star offensive lineman on the senior football team. After the Pep Rally, Chef Burns and his students held a large barbecue serving a large assortment of delicious food to students. Students’ Council continued to help spread the cheer and spirit with free face painting. By 1 o’clock, the sea of red and white was ready to watch the RedHawks take the field in their home opener.

Town facility is first in Canada to offer new fitness program Master class Those wishing to try a class will want to get in before Cardio Fit 4 Life offers its first master class Friday, Nov. 16 at 6 p.m. On this evening Foster will welcome master trainer Jordan Ballard to her studio for an incredible piloxing experience. The fee is $20. “It’s really a calorie torching workout,” Foster said. Her professional focus in fitness has its roots in a personal life challenge that was at its height during her teenage years. “I battled my weight my entire life,” Foster said. For her, the answer was keeping a high level of physical activity and a balanced nutrition program, but the experience of those younger years has stayed with her and has inspired Foster to reach out and help young girls in Smiths Falls.

EMC Business - A new fitness craze is sweeping across Canada and it’s starting right here in the Smiths Falls area. Caroline Foster had been teaching cardio kickboxing for three years when she saw a new exercise called piloxing on an episode of The Doctors. “I thought, oh my God, this looks like so much fun,” Foster said. The exercise program combines boxing moves, pilates and a little bit of dance to create a low-impact exercise that shows results while being kind to your joints. Piloxing is an interval training program, which means it ramps your heart rate up and then lowers it for effective results. “I love it so much that when I teach it I just come alive,” Foster said. Since working with piloxing the instructor has found her muscles lengthening and becoming more defined. Piloxing was created by Viveca Jensen in California who has trained over 2,000 trainers world wide since opening the Piloxing Academy in 2010 with Foster being the first Canadian to receive training. To earn this honour Foster and her mentor, Valerie Burns travelled to Detroit for a training course this past July. Since then several other Canadian instructors have received certification, but Foster is excited to be ahead of the curve. On Sept. 7 she and Burns co-hosted a piloxing session in Smiths Falls with 25 of their existing clients. “It was the first demonstration of piloxing in Canada,” Foster said. Since then interest has grown to the point where Foster’s new studio, Cardio Fit 4
Groovy Girls, which is aimed at girls aged 12 to18. The program starts at 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays and offers girls a safe, supportive environment where they can try out new exercises to top 40 music and learn about a healthy lifestyle. “I think it’s really important for girls to have a really good body image,” Foster said. Depending on the interest level, Foster would like to introduce guest speakers to speak about nutrition and food choices. There is a $5 drop in fee for Groovy Girls. Foster thanks her husband for his support and assistance in getting her studio at 60 Lombard Street ready, as well as Burns who operates a studio in Port Elmsley.

EMC Events - Smiths Falls was inundated with little people selling apples on Saturday during a successful joint fundraiser by the local Cub Scouts and dancers from Flare Dance Studio. Zofia Lentz, 11, and Serena Huneault, 8, are competitive dancers who helped their cause. They join Beaver Michael Huneault, 5, at the County Fair Mall to sell their apples and apple products, while the remainder of the 2nd Smiths Falls Scout troupe was scattered throughout town. Money raised by the event supports special projects.

who coast along merely on athletic prowess find that that is simply not a sustainable option. “It can go horribly wrong for people who don’t try,” said Smart, something he has seen himself. “Sometimes people need to panic…There is nothing wrong with wanting to be the best. There is nothing wrong with looking foolish trying to be the best.” He added that successful people are, by their nature, competitive people, but that no man is an island, and even solo athletes, like runners, need support. “I don’t want anyone’s help, I want to do it myself,” he has heard over and over again. “All of the Olympians who came up here have had people in their corner,” from parents to coaches. “I know your parents drive you crazy.” He often tells his university players, some of them still teenagers, how “it’s unbelievable how you think I just slipped to being an old man,” and merely fast-forwarded past ages 18 to 23. “They (your parents) lived through it…through your age. They also care more about you than anyone else in the world. If you’re not going to take advice from them, you’ll take advice from people who don’t care as much about you, not even close.” Smart commended the organizers of the ceremony, revealing that he had texted his wife halfway through the morning to say “This is incredible. They have done an incredible job.” “I do hope that you appreciate what you have,” Smart said of the athletic teaching staff at PDCI, noting that he used to play basketball with Kevin Bellamy, now PDCI’s athletic director. “I hope you do take full advantage of what you have here.”

EMC Sports – Just try. And try it like you mean it. Dave Smart, coach of the Carleton University Ravens men’s basketball team, and assistant coach on the men’s Canadian national team, knows it, and now the students at Perth and District Collegiate Institute (PDCI) know it. “I tend not to speak crap so I tend to talk the truth and sometimes it gets me in trouble,” said the blunt Smart as he began his remarks as the guest speaker at the Olympic alumni homecoming ceremony PDCI on Thursday, Sept. 27, as part of National Sports Week. In his position, he said he has spoken to well over 400 basketball coaches, and has always found himself asking the same question: What are the two most important skills for a basketball player to have? He usually gets answers like the ability to pass, the ability to defend, or shooting skills. “It’s always shocked me that that is the answer I get because that is not even close to the answer,” Smart said. “A lot of the times the kids (university players) don’t get the right answer (either).” As the assistant national coach, he has worked alongside Canada’s own Steve Nash of the Los Angeles Lakers, and has found Nash to be one of the few who have gotten the right answers. “I’m a big Steve Nash fan because I believe he is a great role model in this country,” said Smart. The answer? Number one, try. Number two, compete. That’s it. “The best basketball player in this country answered the question right, the way I would have answered so I’m brilliant,” Smart said. “I don’t
think people really get that, how important trying is. It’s a skill. You can’t just show up and try. If you don’t try, every single day, how are you going to be successful against people who try all the time? “There is constancy in people who are successful. They don’t think about trying. It is a given.” Without naming names, Smart opened the door slightly to the inner machinations these days in the Ravens locker room, and a not-so-happy talk he had with two players after a recent practice. “I’m not happy very often,” said Smart. “I was not happy with them.” He was not happy with their hustle, or lack of it, and because they did not bring it – they did not even try to. “Why are you doing the things that you are doing?” Smart asked the young men. “Well, I’m trying,” replied one. “Are you really?” Smart answered. Smart pointed to a Carleton basketball alumni who was helping with the practice, a man he calls “insane” who has played professional basketball in Europe. “He tries,” the young men admitted. “Agreed,” said Smart. “So you don’t try. How about you start trying. Look at what he does… (But),” he said, with a sigh, “I’m not holding my breath.” He encouraged the students to set high standards for themselves. “If you don’t believe in yourself, who will believe in you?” he asked. “I don’t understand how people don’t wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and say ‘I’m going to be better than anyone else today in things I can control.” Sometimes, fear can be a great motivator, and people

EMC Sports - The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears once again split the two-game action last weekend with one win and one loss. Bears remain tied for first place in the CCHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Robinson Division standings with a record of 7-3 for 14 points. Friday, the Cornwall Colts bounced back from a thrashing suffered at the hands of the Carleton Place Canadians the night before by handing the Bears a 4-3 home defeat. Colts built a 4-1 lead well into the third period. But a pair of quick goals scored late by Connor McLaren and Jeff Carroll made things interest-
ing for the crowd of 621 fans. The rally fell short and the Bears had to settle for the narrow loss. Daniel Disipio had the other goal for the Bears. Bears 6, Lumber Kings 5 On the road Sunday, Smiths Falls traded places, this time emerging with a one-goal victory, 6-5 over the Pembroke Lumber Kings. The Lumber Kings were the first on the board just a minute into the game. The Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ryan Eardley quickly answered this with a goal of his own at 4:53, followed by another from Jesse Blais to give the Bears their first lead. Pembroke tied it up
going into the second period. Smiths Falls led the scoring in the second period with league-leading scorer Michael Buonincontri burying two in a row to give the team a 4-2 lead. Up 4-3 in the third, the teams continued to trade goals until Buonincontri completed his hat trick, the game-winning goal coming at the 11:55 mark. Upcoming games This week the Bears face Kanata on Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 7:30 p.m. This Friday, Oct. 5 they welcome the Kemptville 73â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to the Memorial Community Centre.

Area students get moving in support of cancer research
Submitted photo Submitted photo
EMC News - Students at Montague Public School tore around the grounds Sept. 28 for a cause. They were running in support of Terry Fox’s Campaign of Hope. Since the young man attempted to run across Canada in 1980, millions of dollars has been raised in support of cancer research.
EMC News - Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute students like Taylor Hughes, above, took part in the Sept. 27 annual Terry Fox Run at the school. The international fundraiser is held at many schools in support of cancer research each fall. Terry Fox attempted to run across Canada in 1980. He died from the disease in 1981.
Acting classes with classic theatre director start this fall
Beginner Acting Class The first course, All Ages Scene Study for Beginners, is an introductory opportunity for those who have always had an interest in acting but did not know where to start. Taking place at the Perth & District Union Public Library on Tuesdays from 5 to 8 p.m.,
and running Oct. 2 to Nov. 20, the course is a chance for anyone aged 12 to adult to get a sense of the basics of acting that could launch them into a play at school, in community theatre, or use the skills in their daily lives. “Theatre skills are not just a window into the theatre, they can build your self-esteem, allow you to speak publicly without fear, or handle tense situations through role playing,” Smiths explains. At the end of the course, participants will have an opportunity to
present some of their work before invited guests at the Full Circle Theatre on Craig Street, home to Perth’s original community theatre, Barn Door Productions, as well as events like Film Night International. Advanced Scene Study Those who have advanced beyond an introductory phase will be able to register at Algonquin College for Advanced Scene Study for Adults. That course runs Thursday evenings at 6 to 9 p.m. from Oct. 4 to Dec. 20. This course fo-
cuses on three elements of acting, including the creation of character, intention, and play analysis. Through the intensive study of scenes, students will learn how to get inside a play and its roles and practice presenting them, under Smith’s direction, with an opportunity to present their final product before fellow classmates and invited guests.
“We have a great number of community theatre folks in Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Newboro, Merrickville, Kemptville and other area towns, and this is a terrific opportunity for them to take it to another level as part of the College’s adult education program,” Smith says. Registration is now open for both courses. For the introduc-
tory class, call 613-267-1224, or visit the Perth Library at 30 Herriott Street in Perth. For Algonquin’s advanced class, call 613-267-2859 or go to: www.algonquincollege.com/ perth.
