Chamber, DBA propose mutual move Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News – The shared benefits of two local business organizations moving into the municipal complex is being investigated by town staff. “We recognize the synergistic nature of having both the chamber and the DBA here at the municipal complex,” said Malcolm Morris, CAO, following an information meeting between the town and chamber Sept. 11. “We are collectively exploring opportunities to enhance our customer service for residents and visitors to town hall.” He is referring to recent direction he received from council to continue negotiations with the County of Lanark around the possibility of incorporating the town’s ambulance bay and fire service at the municipal complex. If this expansion and renovation work is moved forward, it may trigger interest by some councillors to take action on renovations to other complex areas, including the front entrance lobby of the building.
“For me, it’s almost the last piece of bricks and mortar that we need,” said Coun. Jay Brennan. Town staff is considering having an individual on hand to greet visitors to the municipal complex upon their entry. Currently there is no staff member at the lobby desk, which can provide some confusion. Morris confirmed the town is looking at either town staff to fill this void or other options such as chamber staff. “The chamber has an interest in perhaps fulfilling that need,” he confirmed, adding of the proposal in general. “We have sufficient space here at the municipal complex.” Chamber board members are interested in boosting their location from the former school house adjacent to the municipal complex to an area inside the complex itself, saying confusion on the part of visitors who are looking for information is one reason to make the switch.

Local family illustrates indiscriminate nature of kidney disease sroy@perfprint.ca
Youth and kidney disease This now-12-year-old little bundle was born Dec. 21, 2001. “At first I seemed perfect,� Doyle said. It didn’t take long for doctors to realize the newborn wasn’t able to keep any nutrients in her body at all. Ultimately, she was diagnosed with Finnish Type Nephrotic Syndrome (her kidney has no filter) and became the first person in Canada with such a condition. Within her first four-and-a-half months of life Courtney had two kidney removal operations and was the first baby to ever go on dialysis after a severe blood infection nearly took her life. “I still don’t know how she managed to survive it,� said her mom, April Doyle. The following year-and-a-half was a blur of regular doctors’ appointments, sleepless nights and the ongoing fear of their baby (still learning to walk) pulling out her tubes that are keeping her alive. “I can’t say any day goes by and Stacey Roy/METROLAND you’re not worried about it,� April said.
beeper went off (a sign a kidney was available for his use). “I know the date almost the hour. It’s a life changer,� Wargati said of transplant. He went from feeling tired and unable to breathe well at night due to fluid collecting in his lungs to living a relatively normal life for just over 20 years when his transplant failed. He credits his 25-year-old organ donor for the gift of these years. Calcification in his body means Wargati isn’t
eligible for another transplant. He will spend the rest of his life on dialysis, but tries not to dwell on this grime reality. “I tell ya, I’m not complaining. I lived a good life,� Wargati added. “Every day I look out and say ‘I’m lucky to be here.’� Since returning to dialysis Wargati has adopted the staff at the dialysis unit in Smiths Falls into his family. The dialysis people are just tremendous. They are top

Community – John Wargati sits in the dialysis unit in Smiths Falls four hours a day, three days a week. During this time he and the 29 patients like him think about their families and the scientists who are in labs today working to change their lives tomorrow. “Research, I think, is the key to this disease,� Wargati said. Perth and Smiths Falls residents can help Wargati, his granddaughter Courtney and others like them by raising funds for research at the seventh annual Kidney Walk in Perth Sept. 28. Registration begins at 10 a.m. with a group start for the 5km walk at 11 a.m. There is no donation minimum, but every dollar goes towards support those with kidney disease. “We encourage people to sign up online� at www.kidney. ca, said Bruce Hill, eastern Ontario staff member at The Kidney Foundation of Canada. The national foundation is marking 50 years of supporting kidney transplant recipients and those on dialysis. Local organizers hope to raise $12,000 at this year’s anniversary event. In 2013 they and about 100 participants smashed this goal by raising $13,244. Every dollar counts for Wargati whose journey began at the age of 10 when he was diagnosed with diabetes. “Doctors didn’t know too much about it as they do today,� he said of the illness. As the years went by Wargati’s blood pressure raised - a silent killer that quietly began to slow his kidney function to just 30 per cent at the time of kidney failure diagnosis. Very shortly after the local man was put on dialysis through the abdomen and after a year-and-a-half, he transitioned to dialysis in hospital. Then on May 26, 1990 his

Climate change pushing birds to extinction, says new report News – Climate change seriously threatens bird species across Canada and the United States according to a new groundbreaking report released Sept. 9 by Nature Canada’s partner organization, the Audubon Society.

into areas to which they are not adapted. The report finds that climate change is happening so fast that many species simply cannot keep up. It concludes that this is likely to lead to the decline of bird populations across North America and, in some cases, out-
“My goal for next year is to go to Argentina for the World Transplant Games,” Courtney added with excitement. “Look out, here I come.” The tween girl’s performance in the 50km backstroke broke the world transplant record for her age group, though it doesn’t officially count until she does it at the world meet. Expectation is high that the Smiths Falls girl will not only bring home gold, but set a formal record and inspire others with transplants to do the same next August. “I hope to bring back my country some golds and my family, too,” Courtney said. The family is pleased to see Courtney making plans for the future, saying for years they felt they couldn’t make plans at all. Today, she is the healthiest she has ever been with 75 per cent
kidney function. The Doyles know a kidney transplant only lasts around 15 years and their daughter is 11 years in. This stark reality weighs heavily on 12-year-old Courtney as well. “I think about it every day,” she said. The family has been told the teenage years are going to be difficult ones health wise, and are holding their breath for the day her kidney fails. Those who come out to the annual Kidney Walk in Perth will be supporting local residents like John and Courtney by strengthening the efforts in research. Join them Sept. 28 at the Crystal Palace in Perth (off Gore Street and across from the Town Hall). If you are unable to participate, please consider registering as an organ donor at www.beadonor.ca.
right extinction. “Canada needs to prepare itself for an influx of climate refugee species displaced by warmer temperatures, habitat loss, drought or extreme weather,” said Stephen Hazell, Nature Canada’s interim executive director. “Iconic species like the Chestnut-collared Longspur and the Ivory Gull need our support right now to ensure that they have the habitat they need to survive next year but also in coming
years due to worsening climate change.” Audubon’s report echoes the findings of the State of Canada’s Birds report, produced in partnership with Nature Canada, showing that many bird species are declining dramatically in Canada. For 75 years, Nature Canada has worked to protect habitat for species at risk in Canada and internationally. “All the evidence suggests
that habitat loss due to climate change is going to hit hard,” said Ted Cheskey, senior bird conservation manager at Nature Canada. “To help mitigate the impact of climate change, Nature Canada and our provincial affiliates are working with local field naturalist groups and First Nations communities to steward and conserve the Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Canada identified as globally significant.” Submitted by Nature Canada.

“We had never seen her move fast before,” April added. Courtney had a bulging side where the adult kidney protruded, until she was eight years old. Wargati sees his granddaughter’s life as proof that medical advancements and research make life and death differences in the lives of those living with illness. The remarkable change in their daughter has only continued throughout her development. Four years ago Courtney began swimming with the Perth Stingrays. This year she traveled to Moncton, New Brunswick to compete in her first Canadian Transplant Games where she brought home five gold medals - one in 5km bike, one in 1km run and three in swimming.
The report concludes that half of all birds studied could see their populations drop dramatically on account of climate change. According to the report, habitat disruption brought on by climate change is one of the main factors pushing bird populations

Be a kid again and help change the life of a child with Big Brothers Big Sisters he would recommend Big Brothers Big Sisters to his friends, but only his close friends, he said with laughter. Adam Purdy, Loghyn’s Big Brother through BBBS, shared his experience with us as well. “It’s a great feeling, volunteering in the community. You become an important person in each-others’ life and you get to be a big kid again doing fun things you sometimes forget about when you become an adult!” Adam stated that his favourite outing with Loghyn so far was an Ottawa 67’s hockey game in Smiths Falls (courtesy of tickets donated to BBBS), where Ottawa won 3-2 in a shootout. When asked if Adam would recommend Big Brothers Big Sisters he said, “BBBS is a great program. They pair you with someone who shares common interests
and you end up making a great friend out of volunteering and giving back to the community.” Big Brothers Big Sisters is always looking for more mentors like Adam. Right now there is a high need for Big Brothers in Carleton Place.

Community – One of the best known and longest running programs at Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) is their traditional match program. In the traditional program, Big Brothers, Big Sisters or Big Couples spend two to five hours a week with their Little doing things that they all enjoy doing. Big Brothers Big Sisters works hard to match children and adults who have similar interests. Recently one of their Littles, Loghyn, shared with us about his experience as a Little Brother. He talked about enjoying the program because it “...keeps him busy and gets him out doing fun stuff”. Loghyn’s favourite outing so far with his Big was fishing because he hadn’t done it in a long time. He also enjoyed going to the movies in Ottawa. He admits that

Letter to the Editor
Reading in all forms will help youngsters DEAR EDITOR: “Emergent literacy skills” are skills that babies, toddlers, and preschoolers need to learn so that they are ready for reading and writing when they start school. These skills include vocabulary, book-handling skills, story-telling skills, scribbling and drawing, recognizing print and understanding what it is for, and singing and rhyming. When you read with your child every day, you are helping your child to develop strong emergent literacy and language skills. It can also help
teach them about story structure, sequencing, and rhyming. How you read makes a difference too. Don’t just read the words. Pause a lot to notice what your child is interested in and to talk about the pictures and the story. Ask questions like; Who is in this story? What is the problem? What will happen next? Read the same story many times and talk about different things each time. Point out the words and the pictures. Make See LETTER page 9
Commentary
United front
Editorial – The leaves have begun to turn, the air is crisp and the United Way Lanark County (UWLC) is putting the final touches on the launch of their 27th annual fall fundraising campaign. The non-profit organization supports some of the community’s most vulnerable people and is able to distribute funds to deserving agencies that provide aid to the county’s residents. For the past few years, instead of holding one large event to launch the campaign, UWLC has chosen to host four kick-off breakfasts in each of the communities they serve. This year, the campaign begins Sept. 23 in Smiths Falls at the Smiths Falls Memorial Centre; followed by Sept. 24 in Almonte at the Mill Street Crepe Company; Sept. 29 in Perth at The Masonry Restaurant; and finishing up Oct. 3 in Carleton Place at the Waterside Retirement Community. This is a great way to tailor the event to specific volunteers and businesses as well as put a spotlight on its 16 member agencies. Providing social change and meaningful opportunities for individuals across the county is what UWLC is all about. Whether it’s hosting the popular My Town’s Got Talent, benefitting from the Live Man Auction in Carleton Place, or being involved in homelessness and youth forums, the UWLC is committed to developing a strong community for all.

of the bones out on the back stoop. And there it simmered away, with Mother taking an occasional peek into the pot to make sure everything was well covered with water. And often she would take a teaspoon off the spoon holder on the kitchen table and dip it into the pot, blow on it to cool it down, and sip. It was then she would add another dash of salt and pepper if needed. The pot was kept covered, but that didn’t stop the wonderful aroma to seep out and fill the kitchen. We could smell the mixture of vegetables, the onions, and the three bay leaves…never two leafs, always three.

out and throw away when it came time to eat the soup. Although she could never give me a name, she assured me that someone from the Barr Line had choked on a bay leaf and she wasn’t taking any chances. Although we ate two hefty meals a day, one at noon hour and one at night, when Father was going back out to work in the fields or the barns after our supper, that’s when the soup pot was brought to the table. Those nights supper would mean a big bowl of soup, maybe a plate of cold headcheese, fried potatoes, enough sliced homemade bread to feed half of Renfrew County and of course, this time of year, a platter of freshly picked tomatoes and cucumbers. That was called a light supper! I loved those nights because I loved Mother’s soup that had been simmering for days on the back of the Findlay Oval. It was always a mystery what you were spooning into your mouth the night we were served the soup.

thing had been simmering for so long, the potatoes and parsnips were as one. It wasn’t unusual to find a meatball, a smidgen of a pork chop and even chunks of roast beef or the remains of a chicken leg in your soup bowl. Whatever had been left on the table after a meal, regardless what it was, went into the soup pot. The night we had the soup, it was a ‘stick-to-your-ribs’ kind of meal. And when supper was over, back onto the stove went the pot. More water added, three more bay leafs, and the pot was ready and waiting for Mother’s next batch of soup. It was recycling at its finest...long before the term became popular. Mother was a master at recycling, but without a doubt, her pot of ever-simmering soup on the back of the Findlay Oval was one our favourite meals back in those lean Depression years.

child to read. Books with flaps and things to touch and move can be great for reluctant readers. Reading aloud to children is the single most important activity for laying the foundation for literacy and learning. But rhymes, poems, songs, crayons, clay, painting, menus, and signs can play a role as well. The key is for you to share these activities with your child and talk about them. Read to your child! Talk to your child! Then read and talk some more! You will be setting your
child up for success at school and in life. If you are concerned about your child’s speech and language development, call the Language Express Preschool Speech System at 1-888503-8885 / 613-283-2742. A speech-language assessment can identify your child’s strengths and needs, and can help you prepare your child for success in communicating, reading and writing.

Retirement income – get the assurance of knowing you have enough Retirement on the horizon? Congratulations -- you have a lot to look forward to. Today’s retirees are generally healthier, living longer and more active and engaged with everything their new life has to offer. But all of that good news can also be the cause of some concern: Is it possible you will outlive your retirement savings? Worrying about how far your retirement savings will take you can get in the way of moving forward and enjoying life – so let’s try to put that worry to rest with a six step plan for determining your retirement income longevity. Step 1 – Know yourself The amount and frequency of income you will need (and/or the withdrawal rate from your investments held within Registered Retirement Savings Plans and other non-registered incomeproducing investments) depends on a number of factors: • Your investment profile – for example, if you are a conservative investor, you would expect a lower return than a more aggressive investor, and therefore your withdrawals should be lower. • Your years in retirement – your retirement could span 40 years and, generally, a longer duration requires a
Manage Your Money more prudent withdrawal strategy. • Your income requirements – will you need to draw on investment income every month or can your defer or decrease income to offset periodic declines in portfolio value? Step 2 – Know your income sources Your retirement income will derive from sources other than your personal retirement savings such as the Canada Pension Plan/Québec Pension Plan (CPP/QPP), Old Age Security (OAS) and company pension plans. Add them all up. Step 3 – Know your expenses Add up your expected expenses – both essential and discretionary. Step 4 – Identify any gaps Calculate the gap between your income from all sources outside your personal retirement savings and your expenses. Sept 5 – Know your withdrawal requirements Determine the amount you need to withdraw from your personal retirement savings/ investments to bridge the gap between your income from ‘other’ sources and your expenses. Step 6 – Make adjustments
If your expected withdrawal rate is not sustainable based on the projected returns from your current savings and investments, you may need to re-evaluate your registered and nonregistered portfolio with the aim of improving returns. Consider life annuities if your recurring pension income is likely to be insufficient to meet fixed retirement expenses. You may also need to reduce the scope of your retirement plans. Whether you’re retiring tomorrow or planning for down the road, it’s never too late to ease your retirement income worries. Your professional advisor can help provide the strategies and solutions that will help you to enjoy your retirement to the fullest.

CHEO lottery’s 2014 Dream Home opens for tours in Manotick Emma Jackson
emma.jackson@metroland.com
News – The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario is taking its 24thannual lottery on the road. This year’s Dream of a Lifetime lottery campaign will start handing out prizes right off the mark this year as it prepares to send 200 winners to an Ottawa RedBlacks home game against Toronto and one lucky winner to the Grey Cup game in Vancouver at the end of November. But there’s a catch: to win, customers must buy their $100 Dream of a Lifetime lottery ticket before midnight on Sept. 26, at which point they’ll be eligible for the RedBlacks ticket draws as well as the Grey Cup draw. The 200 RedBlacks prize packs include two RedBlacks jerseys and tickets to the team’s final home game on Nov. 7. The grand prize includes two Grey Cup tickets, airfare for two to Vancouver and three nights at the Renaissance Vancouver Harbourside Hotel. Dare to dream For the second year in a row, the CHEO Foundation has partnered with Minto to build its fully-furnished dream home in the Mahogany development south of Manotick. This year’s grand prize includes the

Emma Jackson/Metroland
The 2014 CHEO Dream Home opened in Manotick’s Mahogany development on Sept. 15. immaculately furnished 483-squaremetre-home (complete with an inhome theatre, walk-out basement and the latest home decor fashions), a 2015 Cadillac ATS Luxury, house cleaning for a year, $5,000 in groceries and $100,000 cash. At the Dream Home grand opening on Sept. 15, foundation president Kevin Keohane was quick to thank ticket buyers for supporting the pedi-
atric hospital located on Smyth Road in Ottawa. “The priority in all of this is making dreams come true for CHEO’s kids, and then after that there’s the possibility that you could win this dream home,” Keohane said. He said the lottery campaign has netted $42.5 million in profits since it began in 1991, and last year’s lottery alone raised $2.8
million for the facility. The foundation raises about $14 million annually, Keohane said, and the lottery is a big part of making sure the hospital has the equipment, staff and knowledge it needs to deal with its 250,000 annual patient visits. Currently, donations are bankrolling $5 million in renovations for the hospital’s day surgery unit, a new MRI machine worth $3 million and ongoing in-house medical research. “There are so many things the dollars raised are going to (in order to) help improve the lives of kids in the region,” Keohane said. No one knows CHEO’s importance better than Wendover teen Brad Laviolette. The 17-year-old was tubing on the water with his family last August when he suddenly faced disaster. “I fell off the tube and my dad lost sight of me and I got stuck under the boat,” Laviolette told a captive audience at the dream home on Sept. 15. “The propeller severed both my legs.” He was airlifted to CHEO, where trauma surgeons worked to save his legs. In the end, he lost 80 per cent of his right quadricep muscle and required intensive physiotherapy to help him get back on his feet. But it wasn’t an easy road for Laviolette. He had multiple surgeries, and developed an infection in his bone that
required six months of antibiotics. “I was pretty scared,” Laviolette said. “I thought I would lose my legs, but CHEO basically saved them.” CHEO has become his second home, Laviolette said, and his nurses and doctors have become a second family. Today, Laviolette still pays weekly visits to the hospital, in which he is considered a “frequent flyer” patient, according to child life specialist Heather Crawford. She worked with Laviolette to find a way forward. “Bradley is himself a very resilient individual,” Crawford said. “He is charismatic and willing to push through.” She said his willingness to share his story helps create awareness about the hospital and what it does. “There’s a fantastic hospital at CHEO, and there are people there who are ready to jump in and do their best,” she said. The dream home is located at 536 Bridgeport Ave off Manotick Main Street. The home is open for tours from noon to 8 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends and holidays. Tickets are on sale now at dreamofalifetime.ca for $100 for one or $250 for three. Early bird prizes will be drawn on Dec. 17 and the final draws will be made Jan. 6 and 7, 2015.

Mississippi Mills committee passes bylaw to stop downtown development Tiffany Lepack
tlepack@perfprint.ca
News – All development in downtown Almonte, including the Enerdu project, is one step closer to a screeching halt. The Town of Mississippi Mills Committee of the Whole passed a bylaw on Sept. 2, to prohibit erection, demolition or removal of buildings or structures in the heritage conservation district study zone. Minor alterations such as interior work, ongoing maintenance, painting in the same colour and soft landscape are allowed. Approximately 300 property owners, who do not have to be consulted before the bylaw is approved, will be affected, including the following streets: Princess, Union, Peterson, Main, Cameron, Thomas, Rosamond, Bridge and Mill. The bylaw was set to be voted on by council at its Sept. 16 meeting, however the Canadian Gazette has learned it may be deferred until the Oct. 7 meeting. Deferral Before discussion on the actual bylaw started Coun. John Edwards asked that the motion be deferred for 30 days because he was concerned with prohibiting development for one year. Edwards who has been working on a Heritage Conservation District for 15 years admitted that this bylaw is aimed at one project (Enerdu). “What message do we send by bringing forth a restrictive bylaw without discussion?” said Edwards. “We need to be calm and take a breather and try and sit down with the proponent who has written a letter and said he wants to do that.” He said he was not against a freeze if it came to that but wanted the committee to seriously consider deferring it for 30 days and try discussion. The vote to defer the motion was defeated 6-4; in favour of deferring it were councillors Rick Minnille, Denzil Ferguson, Edwards and mayor John Levi. Coun. Garry Dalgity told the Canadian Gazette after the meeting, council was remiss in not consulting the property owners. “I honestly think (the property owners) should have been consulted before starting to make rules to change the ability to renovate properties,” said Dalgity. “It was definitely rushed through, there’s no getting by that; within a month and a half it was on the table and passed.” He admitted the reason council is proposing this is to slow down the Enerdu project.
Motion passed Mayor John Levi pointed out that the study hasn’t even officially defined the area yet and now they are going to tell people they are not going to be able to build for one year. “I have received a lot of calls and complaints from landowners who don’t want their land frozen so they cannot build or demolish anything for a year,” said Levi. “I don’t know if you get the calls or just don’t want to hear it but we are going to freeze their properties and they want to work on it.” Levi continued by saying they need to have more discussion before they freeze those properties. Edwards, who admitted he rarely agrees with Levi, called the bylaw a very blunt instrument. “Additions and garages would be prohibited on 300-plus properties. We need to think twice on what this is doing. If you were on the receiving end without being consulted…We do more consultation for the dog bylaw,” said Edwards. “It will turn more people against preserving the downtown than encourage people to preserve it.” Ferguson said there were too many unknowns in the bylaw. “I think we do need some more information on how restrictive it can be and we all know it is against one specific project (Enerdu),” said Ferguson. Coun. Bernard Cameron, who owns a heritage property himself admitted that it is restrictive but reminded everyone it was only one year or until the study is finished which will most likely be in six months. “What is the purpose of this: we want to make sure within our community everyone has ownership of a conservation district,” said Cameron. “It is important mistakes don’t happen, mistakes will only happen if they are allowed to happen. I agree it is restrictive and blunt but it is necessary at this point and time…this is to make our intent known that we value what we have. Let’s not risk that because we all know once its gone its gone forever.” The large crowd in attendance for the vote broke out in a large round of applause. Minnille was opposed to the motion. “It’s beyond my comprehension that 99 per cent of the people in the audience are more intelligent than I am and can dress in red and go wave flags when they don’t know 100 per cent of the facts,” said Minnille. “I’m extremely disappointed.” The crowd started to laugh and heckle Minnille before he continued. “We all have our comments and that’s my comment. I don’t support the motion, it’s directed right to Enerdu.
People in this audience never showed up to a meeting when it came to important decisions about the town. They come here over a project and fire up like they are saving the world,” he said. The vote was not a recorded vote, however Ferguson, Minnille, Levi and Edwards voted against it. After the vote finished most of the large crowd immediately left the council chambers. “Don’t forget to stay for the important stuff,” Minnille yelled as the room cleared. Community reaction Jason Gilmore, chair of the Mississippi Mills heritage committee, which reviewed the bylaw at its meeting last week, supported it. “I think that’s responsible from the town to have it written as is and it conforms under the Ontario Heritage Act,” said Gilmore. Chandler Swain, who owns the General Fine Craft and Art Design on Mill Street is in favour of the bylaw. “We would have a lot more beautiful buildings in the downtown…people have been aware of the study for a long time now, with lots of discussion, the process is good and people are invested in the area,” said Swain. Stephen Brathwaite is a partner at the Almonte Heritage Redevelopment Group and is in favour of the downtown heritage district. However, as
UCDSB continues tradition of fiscal responsibility the Accountability Framework,” added chair Greg Pietersma. Changes implemented to ensure accountability include:Trustees approved a hiring freeze on all administrative positions outside positions that have already been advertised. The freeze is in effect until March 11. Members called for a comprehensive review of service delivery that will have no impact on classroom activities. To better monitor spending, trustees requested financial reports any time a department budget is exceeded by three per cent or more. The motion also requires the department manager to propose a remedy.This past June marked the eleventh straight year that the board has passed a Ministry of Education-approved, compliant budget that meets all our students’ needs, said Thomas. Submitted by the Upper Canada District School Board.
R0012896541
News – Trustees with the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) continued a tradition of fiscal responsibility Sept. 10 by instituting an administrative hiring freeze and moving to better monitor spending in an age of fiscal constraint. Members passed three motions during the first board meeting of the new school year to ensure the UCDSB lives within the budget passed by trustees in June. The motions were approved out of concern due to recent hints by the Ministry of Education that the province is tightening its belt, which may affect future funding for the board. Director David Thomas welcomed the changes. “At this board, we have created a legacy of compliant budgets and responsible use of resources and the board has simply asked us to continue in this manner to ensure budgetary needs are met,” said Thomas. “These moves are consistent with the trustees’ focus on accountability as has been exemplified by

the bylaw is currently written there is no way for him to bring up any future restoration designs to the town or heritage committee for approval during the set time. “I am concerned…I wish they (council) were more specific in the bylaw, it will add a time delay to my project for exactly what we have been doing; restoring heritage buildings and adding to the downtown,” said Brathwaite. “If they are going to do it they should have more specifics, we want to erect something to a heritage building.” Brathwaite has no problem in showing the designs to the heritage committee. Ron Campbell, Enerdu project manager, is disappointed by the town’s actions as the application has gone through the process at the provincial level. “From our point of view we have approval from the province and we are disappointed the committee passed a bylaw to try and stop a specific project,” said Campbell. “What is disturbing to me is the heritage component is being used as a weapon and it denigrates all of the hard work Coun. Edwards and the heritage committee have done. If you believe in heritage you are going to shake your head because they are doing it for all the wrong reasons. It will haunt everyone in the area because they have done excellent heritage work.”
Kory Earle runs for presidency of People First of Canada; announces platform Tara Gesner
tgesner@perfprint.ca
News – Carleton Place resident Kory Earle is running for the presidency of People First of Canada this November. At Carambeck Community Centre, the 28-year-old announced his vision and platform in front of family, friends, politicians and media on Sept. 10. Earle is currently completing his tenure as 1st vice president of People First of Canada. He’s also the past president of People First of Ontario and an honourary member of People First of Lanark County. “I believe it’s time to see change on the People First of Canada executive,” Earle said, “and I am running because I have a plan that makes sense and deals with action.” “Provinces and territories have a choice on Nov. 16 to elect the same old or elect someone that will bring fresh and new ideas forward,” he continued. “Through my experience, expertise, guidance and leadership, I will get the job done and I will ensure people’s voices are heard.” Earle vowed to represent the concerns of all provinces and territories. “I will also work with staff each day to ensure they know they can call on me at anytime,” he said. Earle thanked Carleton Place Mayor Wendy LeBlanc and Coun. Jerry Flynn for endorsing his run as president of People First of Canada. Although LeBlanc was away at the Ontario East Municipal Conference in Kingston and unable to attend the press conference, she sent a letter applauding Earle’s
work with provincial legislators, including DufferinCaledon Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Sylvia Jones, to end picketing in front of group homes. “Bill 23 did not get to third reading, but it did draw significant attention to this issue and plans are in place to bring the bill forward again,” LeBlanc said. She noted People First of Lanark County members work diligently, making an important difference in how people with disabilities are perceived and welcomed in the community. In 2006, the executive director of Lanark County Community Living Association approached Earle about working together to see if a People First chapter would survive in the area. “From the very beginning people in Carleton Place were receptive and the first official meeting of People First of Lanark County took place on July 21, 2006,” Earle said. “Owing to numerous events, members of People First have made themselves visible in Lanark County, and they have certainly made our communities better places to live,” LeBlanc said. “Kory was, and is, determined and persistent, two very important characteristics of a leader,” she continued, “and he has a proven track record, not only with his work in Carleton Place but beyond. I know he will take his vision, his leadership skills, and his experience to this new position and will do a wonderful job as People First of Canada president.” “Kory’s exceptional leadership skills are evident in everything he does,” Flynn added. “He continues to give members with visible and not

Running for the presidency of People First of Canada November, Carleton Place resident Kory Earle announces his vision and platform on Sept. 10. so visible disabilities hope.” Over the last eight years Flynn has watched Earle grow and advocate for all people and in doing so the duo has developed a close friendship. “I hope Kory’s phone calls never stop,” an emotional Flynn said. Earle took a moment last week to remember the late Ed Sonnenburg, Carleton Place’s deputy mayor at the time of his passing in August. “I am forever thankful for his amazing support,” he said. Earle and Sonnenburg sat together on the town’s accessibility and advisory

committee. The candidate also thanked his family “for putting up with me being gone, missing many functions.” Platform “Together we have seen some progress over the years, but much more needs to be done,” Earle said. If elected, he promises to meet provinces and territories nine times a year or if needed, more. “I will hold conference calls with each province and territory to address concerns, to understand how national staff and myself can help,” Earle

said. “Each area in Canada will have a voice!” Inclusive education is something that must continue. “We must look at ensuring students are in an inclusive school setting – with supports,” Earle said, “and we need to work hand-in-hand with school boards and governments,” Earle said. Integrity, transparency and accountability are core characteristics of the People First of Canada presidency. “I will guarantee that we have accountability,” Earle said. “Our budget will be looked at, and I will work with staff so we make the right decisions. This is a team effort.” If successful in November, he will continue to strengthen the People First of Canada’s existing relationships; however, “I want to start adding new partnerships and broaden our focus.” Another priority for Earle is the review of People First of Canada’s bylaws. “The first thing I want to do is look at term limits,” he explained. “Right now people can run in a position for years. This needs to change.” Earle will solicit input from all provinces and territories. “I will advocate for many things, but these are just some that need our attention,” he said. “Every province and territory will know
where I stand on an issue.” “I am ready to lead People First of Canada for the next three years,” Earle continued. Suicide awareness Earle’s press conference was held on World Suicide Prevention Day (Sept. 10). On this day each year, numerous events bring attention to one of the world’s largest causes of premature and unnecessary death. Earle grew up with many challenges in his life. He was judged and bullied, which left him feeling suicidal and undermined his self worth. “This is why I continue to fight each day,” he said, “and I do not want people to experience what I went through.” Getting personal Earle recounted the time he had a rope around his neck, ready to take his life. “My brother Shane came in just in time and grabbed it,” he said. Earle “absolutely” regrets his suicide attempt, and noted, “It breaks my heart that people today are still depressed.” “You’re not alone!” he added. “Many of us have had suicidal thoughts at some point in our lives, and don’t let fear or embarrassment prevent you from seeking help. There are many services in Lanark County to provide support.”

Don Ross appears at Full Circle Theatre Oct. 2 with special guest Thomas Leeb Arts – Don Ross’ music borrows from blues, jazz, folk and classical music creating a style that he describes as “heavy wood”. Ross names Bruce Cockburn, John Renbourn, Pierre Bensusan, Keith Jarrett, Egberto Gismonti and Pat Metheny as his main sources of inspiration. One of his songs, Michael, Michael, Michael, is dedicated to Michael Hedges and Ross has performed straight covers of his compositions. One obvious but unattributed influence is the psychedelic 1967 track Embryonic Journey by Jefferson Airplane.
Ross’ advanced technique and his sure feeling for rhythm combine with uncommon ideas to make his style instantly recognizable. He often uses percussive techniques and plays intricate down and upstroke patterns with his thumb. These techniques have found their way into the toolboxes of many competitive fingerstyle guitarists. His use of acrylic nails allow him to get the sound of long fingernails without the hassle of broken nails. Ross played a Lowden S-10 in the beginning of his career, but since 1997 has played a Lowden O-10.
Today, he plays custom-made guitars by Marc Beneteau, a Canadian luthier from St. Thomas, Ontario. The Beneteaus are equipped with a combination of microphone and K&K pickups. Occasionally he plays a baritone guitar by Marc Beneteau, or
uses a custom 7-string by Oskar Graf, a luthier from Clarendon, Ontario. In the liner notes to Ross’ 2003 album Robot Monster, Bruce Cockburn writes, “Nobody does what Don Ross does with an acoustic guitar. He takes the corners so fast you think
he’s going to roll, but he never loses control.” Ross, the only two-time winner of the US Fingerstyle Guitar Championship will be joined by special guest, Thomas Leeb, Thursday, Oct. 2 at the Full Circle Theatre in Perth. The concert, presented by
Hynesite Music, begins at 8 p.m. and advance tickets are available for $25 (plus service fee) at Shadowfax (67 Foster Street, Perth). Call to charge: 613-267-6817. For more information on Don Ross, visit www.donrossonline. com.

IS YOU
WINNING…
THE REALITY IS,
YOU’RE HELPING CHEO On August 4, 2013 the Laviolette family was enjoying a fun day on the water when disaster struck. Brad was tubing behind the boat when he fell off and was thrown toward the back of the boat. “He told us that he could see it all happening before him. Brad said that the propeller was coming straight for his stomach. He was strong enough to push away but the propeller hit both his legs,” says dad Rob with emotion in his voice. Brad was wearing a wet suit which was fortunate for him as it was able to hold his legs in place. Sadly, the propeller severed both his legs and one tibia and he needed to be airlifted to CHEO. Surgeons worked hard to save his legs. He lost 80 percent of his right quadricep muscle and required intensive physiotherapy to help him heal and get mobile again. Brad is a true superhero! He spent two and half months at CHEO and it was not an easy road but he was a fighter. He began in a wheelchair, graduated to a walker, then crutches and today is standing tall and proud walking on his own two feet unassisted. What true determination! He’s had multiple surgeries, had a bone infection that required six months of antibiotics and yet this 17-year-old is still smiling. In a recent radio interview
Brad commented on the staff at CHEO. “Doctor Kontio, the nurses on the fifth floor and child life specialist Heather were all so great to me,” said Brad. “I’ve been fully supported by my family as well.” “I refer to Bradley as my superhero. His father and I are so proud of him for all he has overcome,” says mom Manon. “Our entire family has been so impressed with the staff at CHEO; from doctors to custodians. We were informed at every step what was happening with Bradley. The compassion and understanding from all the staff was really comforting.” The Laviolette family knows all too well that no one knows when they’ll need CHEO. By supporting the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery you make it possible for the staff at CHEO to do their job…saving the lives of children and youth. Just ask Brad.
WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO THE TRAUMA TEAM, REHAB TEAM, AND THE FIFTH FLOOR STAFF WHO TOOK CARE OF HIM. THEY SAVED MY SON’S LIFE AND HIS LEGS!

French family For our group and Armitage that poignant trip included tours of the Allied invasion beaches in France. Included on the itinerary was Juno Beach where Armitage had first set foot in Europe 49 years earlier. During his 1995 stay he was billeted with a French couple who had three young children. Armitage remained in touch and when it was announced he would be part of the D-Day 70th anniversary observances this year he was able to connect with the same family. Once again he was welcomed into their home with open arms. “The kids are all grown up now. We had some very good talks.” Also during the visit Armitage made a pilgrimage to Beny-sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery where just over 2,000 Canadian victims of D-Day and the Normandy campaign are interred. Among the soldiers buried there are several from his own regiment. One of them was his own officer, Lieutenant Roy Pattinson. A native of Victoria, British Columbia the 25-yearold officer died during heavy
one chapter in what has been a full and rewarding life for the West Carleton native. There is so much more to Roly Armitage! He is a retired veterinarian, race horse owner and track operator. He served as the Mayor of West Carleton Township (now part of the City of Ottawa) and he was general manager of Carp Airport for 10 years. A widower (he has outlived two wives) he has three surviving children (he lost a son at age 27), four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. And that is just part of his story. I am writing a feature about this fascinating man which will appear in some editions of this newspaper. But if you want the whole story you’ll have to buy the book. Believe me, it is a very good read! If you have a comment or question for Jeff Maguire he can be reached by email at: jeffrey. maguire@rogers.com.

Second World War in Europe. We have something in common because my wife and I also attended the 50th anniversary observances in the company of 20 veterans and their wives from Carleton Place, Lanark County and Ottawa. The biggest event was Holland’s National Liberation Parade held in the city of Apeldoorn on May 7, 1995. I was there as a journalist to cover the event which was attended by half a million cheering spectators. Armitage was one of 8,000 WW II veterans who marched past the throng receiving countless hugs, kisses and bouquets of flowers from grateful Dutch citizens. The people of The Netherlands have never forgotten the sacrifices Canadian soldiers made in helping free their country after five years of Nazi occupation. A total of 5,706 Canadians gave their lives during the Dutch campaign. “Wasn’t that parade something,” Armitage enthused. “It was unbelievable!” I agreed, but told him that he and his fellow veterans deserve all the praise they receive and then some.

‘Legion of Honour Medal.’ That will take place during a ceremony at the French Embassy in Ottawa in November. “I feel very humble,” he says softly. The medal presentation will take place the month after Armitage officially releases a book about his very interesting life. Entitled ‘The Way It Was and Now: My Journey’ the book was about to go to print when I sat down with the author last week. “I never thought I would write a book, but it is pretty exciting,” he says gleefully. He is also planning to return to Europe in May with his son Mick. They will attend the 70th anniversary liberation parade in The Netherlands and participate in other observances marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe. In this column I have only outlined details about Armitage’s war experience. Despite its significance, the war is just

Liberate ports Armitage and his comrades later helped liberate the French ports of Calais and Boulogne. The Canadian Army was given the task of pushing the enemy out of English Channel ports in France and Belgium. The ports were vital to the Allied cause but they were fanatically defended which made them very difficult and dangerous to attack. The young, Ottawa area soldier and his compatriots eventually fought their way north through Holland and into Germany. His unit ended the war in the port city of Wilhelmshaven, in northern Germany, which was home to a major U-Boat (submarine) base. In June of this year Armitage, who turns 90 in February, was among an official delegation of Canadian Normandy veterans who attended special ceremonies marking the 70th anniversary of D-Day. His eldest son Mick (the wellknown Ottawa musician and promoter) said it was a wonderful experience for his father. “Dad has had such an interesting life. But to be part of that ceremony in June was very special for him. We (family) are so proud of him!” Armitage smiles and laughs when he says that he “an avowed Liberal (he ran a very close second to long-time MPP Norm Sterling in the 1987 Ontario election)” got to shake hands with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who he called “an avowed Conservative,” at Juno Beach (the Canadian invasion beach) in France in June. He has a photograph to prove it. In France Armitage stayed in the home of the same family he was billeted with during his only previous post-war visit to Normandy in 1995. In May of that year he was among thousands of Canadian veterans who participated in ceremonies to mark the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland and the 50th anniversary of the end of the

enemy shelling on July 29, 1944 two days before Armitage himself was nearly killed by an exploding artillery round. His eyes became moist when he mentioned all the young men who didn’t survive the war. “I think about my comrades who never got the opportunity to experience the richness life had to offer. They had their whole lives ahead of them but they never made it home. “I’m among the lucky ones.” Armitage’s wartime service has not been forgotten. He is a recipient of the France and Germany Star which went to those who experienced six months or more of action. Also among the decorations he wears on special occasions are the Defence of Britain medal, the WW II Victory medal, the Canadian Volunteer medal and the Normandy Defence medal. Recently he was notified that the Government of France will present him with the prestigious

participated in the Allied pincer movement that very nearly succeeded in cutting off the bulk of German forces in Normandy. The so-called “Battle of the Falaise Gap.” It was during that part of the campaign that he was injured. Many other Canadians were killed in action during both battles and are interred in Commonwealth war cemeteries established in the region. A large number of Germans succeeded in wriggling out of the attempted trap at Falaise and lived to fight another day, slowing the Allied push through Western Europe.

Lifestyle – It was late July 1944 in war-torn Normandy, France. Roly Armitage and his Canadian Army artillery regiment had been ordered to dig in. “We had been shelled several times and we were expecting more,” the now 89-year-old Armitage recalled last week. “I worked extra hard to dig a trench (fox hole) as deep and as long as I could. “I remembered seeing a piece of tarpaulin lying on the side of the road not far away. I walked over to get it. I just wanted to put it on top and make the hole a little more deluxe,” he chuckles. As he was walking back he heard the incoming German artillery shells. The then 18year-old dropped the tarp and sprinted toward his freshly dug fox hole. “I jumped in and landed on top of two other guys – they were already in there. In my hole!” Armitage found himself lying partly in and partly out of the trench. That’s when a shell struck approximately 30 feet away. The next thing he remembers is waking up in a first aid station. “They told me the concussion had knocked me out cold. But I wasn’t hit by any of the shrapnel. “When those things (shells) hit they kind of plow along the surface of the ground and then explode. I was really lucky.” The teenager from South March, just outside Ottawa, was knocked senseless by the blast. His left ear drum was ruptured and permanently damaged. The ringing in his ears lasted for weeks. “They wanted to send me back to England for treatment. But I told them ‘I’m OK. The ringing is starting to go away.’ I was able to finish out the war without being seriously injured,” he explains, with a wry smile. Armitage and his unit, the Royal Canadian Artillery Third Medium Regiment, landed in Normandy on D-Plus 12. That is 12 days after the start of Operation Overlord (nicknamed “D-Day”), the massive Allied invasion of German-held France which began early on the morning of Tuesday, June 6, 1944. “When our landing craft headed back again (to a mother ship) it was full of German prisoners. They told us there were 1,500 (POWs) on the beach, waiting to be transported to England.” Armitage was involved in the intense fighting to capture the French city of Caen. He later

Important tips for bringing your summer plants indoors Dale Odorizzi
Lifestyle – It is that time of year again. The days are getting shorter, the nights are long and cold. Many of us put our houseplants outside for the summer or have purchased annuals to brighten up our containers. If you want to save them for another season, act now to get them inside before frost strikes. Before you decide which plants to bring inside, look at it carefully. If it has not thrived outside, it likely won’t thrive inside. Unless the plant is very valuable or has great sentimental value, do not bring inside. The first thing to do is to bring the plants inside without bringing in a lot of creepy crawlies – that’s the technical for insects. Earwigs love to hide out in the soil of our plants and when they get inside they start looking around. To get rid of soil based pests, put your containers in a larger container of water. This will force the pests to get out. Do not leave the plant in the water for too long as you do not want it to get waterlogged. Then, look at the plant carefully. Spray the leaves with warmish water that contains a little liquid soap or insecticidal soap. Spray the tops and the bottoms of the leaves and the stalks of the plants. If there are cocoons on the plant take them off and wipe the plant off. If you have room, segregate the new arrivals indoors from the plants which have been there all year so if you
Master Gardeners bring in any pests, the old plants won’t be impacted. If you think back to the spring, you will remember hardening off your plants by putting them out for a few hours each day until they were ready to be outside full time. The same thing applies now only in reverse. Our homes in the winter are dry. They do not have as much sunlight as your plants are used to so you should bring them in more gradually, for a few hours each day. As the evenings get colder, I tend to bring my plants in for the night and then back outside for some of the day. This prevents them from frost and helps to harden them off for the tough indoor conditions. Many of us like to save our annuals for next year. Geraniums are one plant that often come indoors. You can bring them in by taking cuttings, dipping in rooting hormone and planting them up. While some folks are successful doing this in the fall, many are more successful doing the root cuttings in February when the plant wants to grow. I pot up my geraniums and sit them in a sunny window to grow and bloom all winter.
You can also keep them in a cold dark room, only providing a minimum of water and then bringing them into the light in February. Once they start to grow, take your cuttings. If they get too leggy, cut off the long stems and let the new growth flourish. Other annuals such as Coleus, Sweet Potato Vine and various
other trailing plants do well by taking cuttings and putting them in a jar of water. When roots start to appear, pot them up and let them grow on. With some plants, you can take cuttings multiple times over the course of the winter. Bringing your plants indoors is an excellent way to keep your green thumb
working all winter long. Be careful about watering and fertilizing your plants. Over the winter many of our houseplants and annuals like a little rest so just provide with enough water to keep them from drying out completely. Dale Odorizzi is a member of the Lanark County Master Gardeners.

CHARITABLE GIVING WITH LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES - A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH FAMILY AND CHARITIES The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. By Shawn Ryan, CFP, TEP Partner and Senior Insurance and Estate Planner Scrivens Insurance and Financial Solutions
Life insurance is a popular, practical way to make a significant gift to CHEO. Your donation will be wisely administered through investments which will provide a stable source of income to CHEO for years to come. There are three main methods you can gift life insurance: by making a bequest of the proceeds of a life insurance policy through your Will; donating the policy during your lifetime at fair market value; or by naming CHEO as beneficiary and remaining as policy owner.
Here is a scenario where a mother owns purchase a permanent life insurance policy a family business and wishes to gift the for $500,000 and donate the proceeds to shares to her adult children through a charity through her Will. provision in her Will. She wants to eliminate This is a win-win for both her family and capital gains taxes of the shares payable the charity. She will own the policy during at her death. The taxable capital gains her lifetime and name her estate as policy reportable on the deemed disposition of beneficiary. She will direct that a gift in an shares on death is $500,000 and tax owing amount equal to the life insurance proceeds on this amount is $230,000 (base on a be paid to a charity named in the Will.

The use of life insurance in the context of charitable gifting at death will appeal to those who want to reduce or eliminate taxes at death and/or have a strong desire to make a larger bequest to one or more charities. This should be considered in the bigger context of planned giving options available to donors both during their lifetime and at death.

Nico Meet this lovely small 1.5year-old tabby boy. When he arrived at LAWS he was rather scruffy looking, missing a lot of fur. We think it might have been stress as he’s now growing into his lovely soft, shiny winter coat. Nico is small and is often picked on by the other cats at the shelter. He feels sad about that as he’s really a nice cuddly guy. He would love to be re-homed soon as LAWS is definitely not the “furever” place he had in mind.

DID YOU KNOW?
WHY YOUR CUSTOM MADE ORTHOTICS DON’T WORK!
As you grow older, an active lifestyle is more important than ever. Regular exercise can help boost energy, maintain your independence, and manage symptoms of illness or pain. Exercise can even reverse some of the symptoms of aging. And not only is exercise good for your body, it’s also good for your mind, mood, and memory. Whether you are generally healthy or are managing an illness, there are plenty of ways to get more active, improve confidence, and boost your fitness. Starting or maintaining a regular exercise routine can be a challenge as you get older. You may feel discouraged by illness, ongoing health problems, or concerns about injuries or falls. Or, if you’ve never exercised before, you may not know where to begin. Or perhaps you think you’re too old or frail, or that exercise is boring or simply not for you. While these may seem like good reasons to slow down and take it easy as you age, they’re actually even better reasons to get moving. Exercise can energize your mood, relieve stress, help you manage symptoms of illness and pain, and improve your overall sense of well-being. In fact,
bound—there are many easy ways to get your body moving and improve your health. Myths about Exercise and Aging Myth: There’s no point to exercising. I’m going to get old anyway. Fact: Exercise and strength training helps you look and feel younger and stay active longer. Regular physical activity lowers your risk for a variety of conditions, including Alzheimer’s and dementia, heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer, high blood pressure, and obesity. Myth: Older people shouldn’t exercise. They should save their strength and rest. Fact: Research shows that a sedentary lifestyle is unhealthy for adults over 50. Inactivity often causes older adults to lose the ability to do things on their own and can lead to more hospitalizations, doctor visits, and use of medicines for illnesses. Myth: Exercise puts me at risk of falling down. Fact: Regular exercise, by building strength and stamina, prevents loss of bone mass and improves balance, actually reducing your risk of falling.
exercise is the key to staying strong, energetic, and healthy as you get older. And it can even be fun, too. No matter your age or your current physical condition, you can benefit from exercise. Reaping the rewards of exercise doesn’t require strenuous workouts or trips to the gym. It’s about adding more movement and activity to your life, even in small ways. Whether you are generally healthy or are managing an illness—even if you’re house-

Brooke Henderson tops world’s amateur rankings
to see into Brooke’s future and instead supports her daughter as she moves through it. “Whatever she wants that’s what I want for her,” Darlene Henderson said. This year is full of firsts for Henderson who was named to represent Canada at the 2016 Olympic Games. This fall will be full of questions for Henderson, who is being hailed as Canada’s sweetheart in golf. She will graduate early from high school in January 2015, which will allow her the chance to move to Florida for the second semester. “Definitely, there are some tough decisions to make in the next couple of weeks and months,” Henderson added. “I’m still committed to the University of Florida for 2015.” Henderson said she is looking forward to obtaining her driver’s licence this month before heading off for sunnier climates.

Sports - It was a 17th birthday unlike any other for Smiths Falls’ own Brooke Henderson. The young golfing star marked this special day by being named the number one ranked women’s amateur golfer in the world. “It’s the best birthday present ever,” remarked Henderson when asked during a meet-and-greet celebration at the Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club last week. Henderson secured this incredible accomplishment following a great performance this season, including setting the individual scoring record at the World Women’s Amateur Championship with a 19-under par 269 in Japan. Henderson’s goal this year was to reach the top three world amateur ranking, but she eclipsed that with her number one ranking when Minjee Lee of Australia turned pro, leaving the top spot open for Henderson to claim. Her current ranking isn’t something the young golfer is taking for granted, knowing the next stages of her career will continue to challenge her. “To reach number one is an amazing feeling,” Henderson added. “I know I still have a long way to go to where I want to be and how I want to play.” Members of the local golfing community joined sporting representatives Sept. 10 to celebrate Henderson’s amazing accomplishments. “We’re just so proud of you,” said Coun. Jay Brennan. Henderson thanked the community of Smiths Falls and eastern Ontario for their unwavering support throughout her golfing journey.

“This is an amazing community,” she said. “Having the support system that I have is very important. I wouldn’t change that for anything.” Her school locker at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute was full of balloons and gifts when she arrived for her first day of school Sept. 10 after a

spots, but Brittany is focused on her game and conquering whatever course lies in her way. “I feel really good going into second stage,� she said. “I’m excited for the opportunity.� The sisters are often seen caddying for one another and providing the support or “kick in the butt� necessary to work the course. The key to this successful relationship is the mutual trust and respect both have for the other’s opinion. One of the younger Henderson’s great memories are days at their cottage where she watched her dad and Brittany hit balls. “They come from a strong family background,� said Paul Vaillancourt, golf pro at the Smiths Falls Golf & Country Club. “I’ve been a witness to this my whole life.�

“That’s exactly where we want to be because that’s the first place people walk through the gates,� remarked Hugh Colton, chamber director. Tracey Pankow, chair of the Downtown Business Association (DBA) as well as chamber director, put on her DBA hat at the Sept. 10 chamber meeting to put forward her desire to see both business organizations living with less of a backyard. “I would like to see us in the same office because we do a lot of things together,� Pankow said. Jeff Banks, a councillor in Rideau Lakes who acts as that council’s representative to the Smiths Falls chamber, questioned the make-up of both organizations and suggested it may be time to amalgamate the organizations to create a strong voice for business. “Are we not all here for the same thing?� Banks said. “I think that’s something that needs to be discussed.� There was no appetite around the table this month to look at amalgamation of the chamber and DBA. In fact, Pankow pointed out the very different missions the two organizations have. The DBA is a mandated membership for businesses who reside in their geographic scope. Their dues allow the DBA to complete beautification projects, joint marketing campaigns and other activities such as the Healthy Living Festival. The chamber is a voluntary organization that looks to promote the views of business and improve the environment for business growth in Smiths Falls and area. The discussion around a future home for both organizations will most certainly return once the new council sits in December 2014. At that time negotiations between town staff and the county can be brought back to the horseshoe for debate and action.

Nature appreciation focus of hike Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Community – Getting children into the great outdoors is the premise behind the Rideau Trail Association’s family hike, scheduled for Saturday afternoon at the Perth Wildlife Reserve. Dorothy Hudson, a member of the RTA’s central division, incorporating Smiths Falls and Perth, said it’s a great opportunity to introduce children to nature. “We want to expose children to the fun of outdoor activities,” she said. “This is a great way to get them out with their families and have some healthy exercise in the fresh air.” Saturday’s family hike will start at the reserve at 1 p.m. and will be led by outdoor enthusiast Jim Ronsom, who will help participants identify bugs and butterflies, flora and fauna and other interesting species in the woods. “We had a family event in the winter and it’s our hope to have two a year that are family oriented,” Ashley Kulp/METROLAND

Hudson said. According to its website, the Rideau Trail Association is a non-profit organization and a founding member of Hike Ontario. Its purpose is to preserve and maintain a hiking trail from Kingston to Ottawa. Its registered trademark is a red-orange isosceles triangle; these triangles are used to mark the main trail (to distinguish the two directions, Kingston-bound trail markers carry yellow tips). In addition to the main trail, there are a number of side trails marked by blue triangles. The total length of cleared and marked trails is 387 km. For those who wish to take part in the Saturday family hike, you are asked to meet at the parking area of the Perth Wildlife Reserve for a 1 p.m. start. Please bring along a water bottle, and dress appropriately – no sandals. “It will be a couple hours,” Hudson said. “We have a short loop that is ideal for children.” Everyone is welcome.

Chamber looks to rejuvenate through strategic plan process sroy@perfprint.ca
News – The Smiths Falls & District Chamber of Commerce is re-focusing in the hopes of attracting new members and new ideas to the organization. Anne Shropshire, chamber director and member of the sub-committee tasked with crafting a strategic plan for the organization, made a presentation to the board at its Sept. 10 meeting. Shropshire pointed to a healthy list of areas to improve, including networking opportunities, faceto-face with members, working collaboratively with others, raising the town’s profile, leadership in the community, lobbying council and offering professional development opportunities. “There’s a disconnect between members’ expectations and delivery,” Shropshire said. The chamber is proactively working to address the shortcomings outlined by members as the strategic plan is progressing. Melissa Hillier, chamber manager, said the office began planning additional networking events immediately after the results of the member survey were returned. It was noted that of the 300 members the chamber currently has just over 40 returned their surveys. Shropshire offered to send the survey out once more for responses, while Tracey Pankow, chamber director, recommended splitting up the

membership list and having each director personally deliver the survey and ask for their participation. “At the end of the day the members of the chamber they have to re-engage,” added Hugh Colton, chamber director. “These members aren’t getting in the game.” The issue of engaging chamber members is not a new one nor is it specific to the chamber itself. “That hasn’t changed in 20 years,” remarked Chris Saumure, chamber president. Of the number of identified action items, the sub-committee is proposing the chamber focus on networking, tourism promotion and funding to support business facades and training support. They hope to achieve this through development of a recruitment and retention plan, as well as a recruit and retention plan to keep board members. The idea of rebranding the chamber was also brought forward as was the need to identify new funding opportunities while seizing on new initiatives to generate revenue for the chamber. In this area having the three priorities is anticipated to help the chamber focus in on funding opportunities that move them forward. “It makes looking for money a lot easier when you have a focus,” Shropshire said. The sub-committee was looking for the board’s support for their proposed direction before they

Donations now accepted for transplant hopeful 2014 MODEL CLEARANCE EVENT
Stacey Roy

News - An opportunity to receive a double lung transplant will give Angela Buker the chance to do something she has been longing to do for five years – take a deep breath of relief. The Smiths Falls resident, proud mother and grandmother, has been battling the punishing symptoms of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) for five years and is currently unable to work. “I literally crashed at work,” Buker recalled. The career waitress has been a well-known face in the Smiths Falls and Perth area for years. During one of her regular shifts she became so winded she had to sit down. That rest turned into a week in the hospital and a fiveyear journey that would see her wear oxygen and make the difficult decision to register for a double lung transplant. “I know all those risks and I’m willing to do that because now I don’t have any quality of life,” Buker added. “I just want to feel better. I want to take a deep breath and enjoy it.” Anyone who has a transplant runs the risk of their body rejecting the organ or not making it off the surgery table. That is a risk Buker is willing to take. COPD has taken her ability to live her life the way she has wanted to – from limiting her mobility in extreme weather to incredible migraines, sudden loss of breath and a lowered immunity to common sickness. The chronic lung condition has taken all but roughly 25 per cent of her lung capacity from her. Sitting at a kitchen table with her oxygen tank in use, Buker dreams of the day she can play with her grandchildren and return to the active lifestyle she once knew. “I’m going to miss them. It’s going to be hard,” Buker said, her voice cracking at the thought of leaving for so many months to Toronto. Once she is accepted onto the wait list for an organ transplant she must move within two

Angela Buker sits on her aunt Joanne Ackerman’s deck Sept. 8 with her oxygen tank in tow. She would love nothing more than to be at work waitressing in town as she has for many years. The Smiths Falls woman is hoping to be accepted for a double lung transplant. A fundraising account at TD Bank has been set up in her name and any donations would be appreciated. hours from the surgery hospital in Toronto and remain there for at least three months after surgery. The crushing cost of housing in Toronto, food and the challenge of maintaining her life back in Smiths Falls keeps Buker awake at night worried for her future amidst her struggle to live long enough to see it unfold before her. “She’s going to need all the help in the world that we can get her,” said her aunt, Joanne Ackerman. “There’s times I watch her and I think ‘I just want to breathe for her.’” Ackerman and Buker’s entire family is working to get her the help she needs to make her recovery from transplant surgery her sole focus during her time in Toronto. The family
have put donation jars in stores in Smiths Falls and Perth. As well, donations came be made at any TD Bank (under the name of Joanne Ackerman or Alanna Heney). “I don’t want people to feel obligated, but I’m thankful for anything” they wish to give, Buker said. She doesn’t want pity. In fact, as a former smoker she accepts some responsibility for her condition and tries to focus her days on her loving children and growing grandchildren around her. “I’m very fortunate,” she said. The root of her COPD may be multi-faceted as the Smiths Falls resident worked a large portion of her waitressing career in bars where, up until recently, it was not illegal to smoke.

Tim Hortons is sharing even more smiles this week Community – Tim Hortons is bringing more smiles to Smiths Falls with the kick-off of the annual Smile Cookie campaign. For one week (Sept. 15-22) Tim Hortons customers can purchase a freshly baked chocolate chunk Smile Cookie for $1 at participating restaurants in Smiths Falls with 100 per cent of the proceeds donated by Tim Hortons restaurant owners to support the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation. “The Smile Cookie campaign has continuously been successful year after year thanks to our loyal guests for their kindness and support,” said Tanya
Bond, Pat Kilgour and Kathy Potvin, restaurant owners in Smiths Falls. “We are honoured to support Smiths Falls Community Hospital Foundation with all of the proceeds raised and to share smiles with all of our dedicated guests. Stop by a restaurant this week and purchase your freshly-baked Smile Cookie to support a great cause.” Lise Smith, executive director of the hospital foundation was pleased with the support. “We are so thrilled that our local Tim Hortons has once again chosen us among the many worthy charities in the area,” she said. “The funds raised by the
Smile Cookie Campaign not only assist with the purchase of the medical equipment, it also brings awareness to the public on how much Tim Hortons cares about the wellness of the community it operates in.” What began as a way to fundraise for the Hamilton Children’s Hospital in Ontario in 1996, has grown into a major fundraising event across North America. In 2013, the Smile Cookie campaign raised $5 million across Canada and the United States. Nationally, it supports more than 500 local charities.

Upcoming REAL fundraiser a real scream News - The following information came from the regular council session held Monday, Sept. 15, 2014.
Police training costs increase
The Smiths Falls Police Services Board has written a letter to the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services asking for an opportunity to discuss the proposed 47.5 per cent increase in the cost of training police constables at the police college. “Clearly, we know things will go up, but the position of the Police Services Board is that you should phase in the increase over time,” reported Coun. Chris Cummings.
Homelessness plan to be drafted
Everyone is welcome to attend a free workshop Oct. 20 at Codes Mill Inn, Perth where work on a 10-year housing and homelessness plan will get under way. Dr. Stephen Gaetz of York University will lead the session. He is the director of the Canadian Observatory on Homelessness. Lunch is provided and registration is requested. Please call 1-888-952-6275 ext. 2403.
The 2014 dinner will be extra special as REAL celebrates 25-years of environmental action in this community. You can help make our number one fundraiser for the year a success by: · Buying tickets. And don’t stop there, get together a table of friends and bring them, too; · Put up a poster. We would especially appreciate help putting them up in any of the outlying communities; · If you or a business or organization you know might be willing to sponsor the event (we have $50, $100 and $150
options), send us the contact information; · Donate a silent auction item. This could even be a certificate for some kind of service: an hour of computer instruction, some gardening time, digitizing a vinyl record collection, you get the idea. The doors open at 5:30 p.m., the cocktail hour with appetizers and mingling with murder suspects is 6 to 7 p.m., and dinner is at 7 p.m. There is also a cash bar available. Tickets are $50, and entitle you to a $15 charitable receipt.
Tickets are available now at Modern Thymes, the REAL Deal store, or by contacting Leann at 613-205-0818. Submitted by the Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL).

Domestic violence strikes home
E
ditorial – It’s seldom a good week in the world of domestic violence, but last week was a really bad week for the National Football League (NFL). More on the ongoing drama off the field in a minute, but, closer to home, we were able to offer the world a small token to abused women – that someone in society does recognize them, that they are not alone, and that we stand with them. Perth town council decreed on Sept. 9 that a monument to Lanark County victims of sexual assault and domestic violence would be erected in the Tay Basin area. During the vote, Perth Mayor John Fenik noted that the video of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice appearing to hit his then-fiancé so hard she fell to the ground and passed out “shames me and angers me to the core.” The vote was carried unanimously, and Fenik, speaking on behalf of council, and the people of his community – and, indeed, anyone with a heart and a head – when he added that “violence against women exists out there. We need to continually bring forward the positive change,” and this monument does that. But back to Fenik’s earlier comment about the video, released by the web site TMZ. There can be no ambiguity about what Rice did to his fiancé in that elevator in Las Vegas earlier this year. The NFL has been criticized for only suspending Rice for two games when this assault first became known. The NFL counters that they did not see the full video until Sept. 8. A law enforcement official, speaking to the Associated Press, countered this by saying that, no, the NFL was sent the video some months ago. What bothers us the most is the lack of consistency in meting out punishment in professional sports. Should it be the place of an employer to dismiss an employee when they break the law? Yes, if there is a policy that sets out clearly what the actions should be. So far, professional sports have been pretty inconsistent in applying punishment. For example, according to The New York Times: • In 2008, Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Brett Myers was charged with assaulting his wife on a street in Boston, allegedly striking her on the face and pulling her hair. About 36 hours later, he was back on the pitcher’s mound. • In October of 2013, National Hockey League goalie Anton Varlamov of the Colorado Avalanche was arrested after his girlfriend alleged he kicked her to the floor and stomped on her chest. • In August of 2014, defensive lineman Ray McDonald of the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers was arrested after an altercation with his pregnant fiancé. Police allege that she had visible injuries. He still went on to the field with the 49ers for their season opener on Sunday, Sept. 7. • Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson missed this past Sunday’s NFL game against the New England Patriots, but will play this coming Sunday in the game against the New Orleans Saints, according to CNN, after he was indicted on child felony abuse charges for hitting his son with a “switch.” (Radisson hotels has announced that it has suspended its sponsorship of the Vikings in protest over Peterson taking to the field.) Clearly, things are all over the map here. Yes, there is a presumption of innocence until guilt is proven in a court of law. But therein lies part of the problem, as we see in the Rice case – if she won’t testify, often, there is no case. With the Rice case, there was a video with incontestable proof. The rest of the time, there is no smoking gun, so to speak. The NFL and other major sports leagues need to set up some manner of criteria for dealing with this. It is for better legal minds than the one writing this editorial to determine, but, say, a conviction of a barroom assault, could equal X number of games suspension, and so on. That way, everyone gets treated the same way across the board, and we get a step closer towards realizing, as a society, what should already be as apparent as the nose on your face – a real man doesn’t hit a woman.

Getting into the mood swing of the seasons
L
ifestyle – I don’t know what it is about September, but I just want it to be October already. Shorter days, shorter tempers, shorter fuses, shorter everything is prevailing right now, and I’m not sure if it’s the weather that has me and my peeps (those with whom I hang out, travel, visit, work and even encounter during my day) down in the dumps. I want to sleep all day, every day, even at work. Please don’t wake me up if you see me sawing logs at my desk – I’ll be with you in a moment. Your iron’s low, says Mom. Can’t be, I’ve been diligent with the vitamins. (OK, so maybe diligent is a strong word). It could be that. Maybe you’re going through the change, my friend says. She’s all over the map, so I certainly hope it’s not that. Besides, I think that happened years ago… I no longer have that burning rage to stick a fork in my spouse’s eyes for no apparent reason other than he got up one morning. I’ve heard of this Seasonal Affective
LAURIE WEIR Weir View Disorder (SAD) and it’s a type of depression that relates to the change of seasons. Typically, it’s a fall thing and can last well into the winter. The fall can zap your energy and that’s when the moodiness sets in. They say the best defense for this is to get outside in the sun (I know, it’s been hard pressed to find any place with sun lately) and go for a walk, at the very least. So I checked out some of the symptoms on the Mayo Clinic’s website (www.mayoclinic. org) about fall and winter SAD and it’s pretty close to what’s been going on around me – irritability (check); tiredness or low energy (check and check); problems getting along with other people (well, the jury is still out on this one); hypersensitivity to rejection
(no, I’m cool with that, but others in my circle have issues to this one); heavy feeling in the arms and legs (constant); oversleeping (wish I could just sleep!); appetite changes, especially craving foods high in carbs (yupper) and weight gain (up and down there). The website gives great advice (visit your doctor for a diagnosis) and recommends a good daily dose of light therapy – that’s the get outside and go for a walk thing – among other treatments. This is probably good advice for anyone at any time, not just someone suffering from seasonal mood swings. Misty mornings or rainy ones make me want to hide and stay in my comfy clothes all day, read a book and drink (mostly coffee), huddled under a blanket with my woodstove glowing in the background. Cozy… I’m doing that now actually, only the reading part has been replaced by writing. I’m in no mood to go too far today, except that it’s production day, and well, I have to be productive. Nuts.

Community – On Oct. 19 the rubber (of running shoes, that is) will hit the road in Smiths Falls as supporters of the second annual Sole Sisters run for cancer sets off in support of research efforts to put an end to this disease. “Research is so important because without it how are we ever going to find a cure,” said Sheila Coutts, co-organizer of the event. The race will begin at Lower Reach Park at 8 a.m. Both Coutts and her co-chair, France Murdoch are hoping to double last year’s turn out of 100 participants of men, women and children of all ages who may wish to walk or run the route. Organizers stress there is no time limit to complete the race, wishing instead to focus on beating back cancer with fitness. “It’s a healthy way to get rid of something that’s not so healthy,” Coutts said. This year the 2km and 5km routes will be joined by a new 10km offering for those who are hoping to challenge themselves even further. Registration is open now at: http://solesistersrun.weebly.com. Participants of the 2km run pay a $20 entry fee, $40 for the 5km run and $60 for the 10 km run. All funds raised will go towards cancer research. Over $6,000 for this worthy cause was raised during last year’s inaugural run. Those wishing to support the end to cancer, but who are unable to attend the run day can register online for a virtual run. All participants will receive a participation medal. Volunteers welcome An event of this size can’t be undertaken without the help of many dedicated volunteers. The run offers a variety of volunteering experiences from setup to assisting runners and more. Volunteers would be needed from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. on run day, and everyone is welcome to lend a hand. “I’m happy to sign volunteer hours for high school students,” said Murdoch. Murdoch is the original volunteer. She set out planning a half marathon run from Perth to Smiths Falls in 2012 for her and her friend, Coutts. At the time, the pair was unable to attend a planned race weekend after Coutts was diagnosed with cancer. This first run ended with a party with friends and

That’s what it’s all about; getting out there for that one person,” Coutts said. Join them this year in taking steps to end cancer in all its forms.

Water is priority for Cathy Livingston News - The following information came from an emailed interview conducted by the Record News and is a continuation of our 2014 municipal election coverage. Cathy Livingston is up for reelection in the Bastard & South Burgess ward in Rideau Lakes Township.
News - Making it possible to do business easier in the town will be the focus of Sheldon Giff’s term, if elected, as councillor in Smiths Falls. “It’s a struggle, I find, for local business to hire employees,” Giff said. “One thing I want to do is clean up the red tape and the process to opening up a business.” Delays lead to expenses and frustration for incoming businesses that may already be feeling overwhelmed. Giff feels it is the job of council to ease this burden by reducing regulation requirements for businesses. In addition, he would like to see councillors fully support the ideas of business when they approach the town with a new concept to attract visitors. “Just listening to people you learn so much,” Giff said. And he knows this from experience. Giff is currently opening up a new store in downtown Smiths Falls - The Rideau Candy Shoppe on Main Street East. He’d like to see other retail stores follow his lead. In particular he’s noticed a need for a men’s clothing store and a new cash and carry-style store for businesses buying in bulk to start. For Giff, it’s all about keeping the money local and supporting each other. To that end, he would like to see the former retail stores restored to their commercial facade from residential so new businesses see a place for them in the downtown. Another business opportunity could be opening up a recycling plant in Smiths Falls. He’s seen this in action through contacts in Hamilton where a plastics plant with 100 employees are currently making vehicle parts and other products with recycled material. “If we could do something like that it opens the door for so many different things,” Giff said. The hometown candidate has seen the financial challenges of the community and feels his skills in taking action on a budget would be valuable. “If there’s one thing I know how to do it’s save money,” Giff said. The young candidate is proposing a rather unique approach to freeing up municipal dollars

for projects that benefit all residents. For this he’s looking to the salary of council members. “I want to cut it,” Giff added. “I’m not doing it for the money; I’m doing it because I want to turn this town around.” The councillor hopeful can’t see another town budget passing without a tax increase given the current financial situation and feels reducing council’s compensation would be appropriate until those around the horseshoe can get the town’s finances in check. “If they’re (taxes) going to go up you can’t increase your salary that’s not right,” Giff reasons. So far the new face to the municipal race has earned the support of approximately 30 voters; some of whom have not cast a political ballot in years. Giff was born and raised in Smiths Falls. He has lived in British Columbia and Ottawa, but has returned home to open his new business. In addition to his retail experience, Giff is also a comedian, having appeared on stages across the country.
Molly King steps it up in Montague Stacey Roy
Question 1: Can you give me a brief biography on yourself? Answer: I live in the village of Delta and have my entire life. Born to parents Ken and Joyce Gray I am the oldest of five girls. At a young age our parents taught us how to be loving and giving to each other and to our community. I am married to Ralph, 36 years, and we have an adult son Patrick James (PJ).

Sheldon Giff is the youngest councillor candidate in Smiths Falls’ municipal election, but he is firm that he is focused on moving the town forward for all residents.
News - Molly King prides herself on listening to the voters of Montague, which is why she has opted to amend her papers in the 2014 election and join the race for the deputy reeve chair. King said the number of residents who have urged her to take this step during her on-going door-to-door campaign has been overwhelming and left her feeling like she had to step up and accept the challenge. “If I didn’t have the support I would have stayed where I was,” King said. “I feel I can represent the township at the county level in a very professional way.” Up until late last week King was in her first municipal election race as a councillor candidate. She said that one of the key issues in this municipal election is the water rate for little over 100 residents of Atironto. King would like to see individual billing from Smiths Falls to each resident and a lowering of the rate that would be retroactive if possible. “This should have been done long ago, really,” King said.

Reeve Bill Dobson noted the current council has taken steps to collect information for this final solution to take place. In particular, they have installed water meters that tells residents how much water they are using. “It makes it more transparent,” Dobson said. He added the township has been subsidizing the water rate for these residents, but this reserve is now depleted. Added to this the increases to water rates imposed by the Town of Smiths Falls. Dobson notes the issue of water in Atironto was a provincial requirement imposed on both the town and township in the 1980s. “It should have been dealt with when it was agreed to in the first place,” Dobson concluded. King has some unusual support for her campaign in the form of Ottawa political heavyweight, successful businessman and philanthropist, Dave Smith.Smith confirmed in a phone interview with the Record News that he approached King to endorse her in this election after overhearing glowing recommendations from others at his Ottawa restaurant.

This weeks puzzle answers in next weeks issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Aries, you can have all of the inspiration in the world, but without some practical application, your idea will stall. Spend some time thinking things through.
Libra, getting back into the swing of things after a long vacation can be challenging. But you will have no problem getting back into a groove and getting all of your work done.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
You are torn between two choices, Taurus. Family matters are on one side, and work responsibilities are on the other. It may take a few days to work out a decision.
Try turning something you enjoy doing for fun into a career, Scorpio. Loving what you get paid to do is a key to a happy life, so figure out a way to make that happen.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Gemini, it’s difficult to contain all of your enthusiasm, so share your excitement and happiness with others. Try tackling some other people’s projects.
Sagittarius, you may be adept at finding an easy way around a difficult thing, but sometimes taking the hard road offers good life lessons along the way.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Cancer, you will be front and center in the days to come. Don’t be nervous, as you’re fully capable of handling the extra attention. Enjoy the spotlight while it lasts.
Family needs take precedence over your obligations at work, Capricorn. Higher-ups will just have to be patient if they want to keep you on as an employee.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Leo, you will be full of energy this week. Use this energy and enthusiasm to your advantage, tackling projects you have let go unfinished but want to get done.
Aquarius, everyone expects you to provide advice, but this week you may be in need of guidance. It could be because you have been tackling so many projects lately.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Virgo, immerse yourself in activities that put you first over the next few days. Whether it’s a date or simply alone time, enjoy it and start tending to your needs.
Few things escape your attention, Pisces. However, this week you can expect to be happily surprised by good news.

To everyone who has supported us following our fire, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation. Your many acts of kindness come as no surprise, yet continue to overwhelm us still. Few words can fully describe the gratitude we feel for our Mississippi Mills Fire Department – an amazing team of people who worked so hard to save our house. We would like to especially thank our neighbours, friends and relatives who also helped us the day of the fire, salvaging keepsakes that would have otherwise been lost forever. Thank you to Nancy and Elwyn Ziebarth, Lana and Barry Dean, our parents Doreen & Garnie Ziebarth, along with Gwen Skebo, the Deugo family and our friends who worked alongside us to begin the process of settling in a home-for-now. To M. Sullivan & Son Restoration, a debt of gratitude for all the hours of hard work put into rebuilding our home. Their expertise and guidance is second-to-none. Thank you to our workfamilies at the Almonte General Hospital and Ottawa Valley Oxygen; and to all our young friends at Pakenham Public School and St. Joseph’s Catholic School, Arnprior. To all the community groups and churches – bless you for helping us find our way. The boys would also like to thank the Valley Garden Tractor Pullers for the extra-special Tractor Pull in Carp. Finally, a very heartfelt thank you to Uncle Greg and Aunt Nancy Ziebarth; Nancy’s crew of sisters and friends, Mike Ryan and the Pakenham Civitan Club for planning the most wonderful night in Pakenham! Everyone danced to favorite songs provided by the Valley’s best musicians. It was a thrill to say thank you, in person, to so many people and also recognize our hard-working firefighters. This will be a summer we will never forget. It is only through the kindness of each of you that the sad memories are fading and being replaced with new happy ones. Thanks again. Cindy, Jerry, Isaiah, Jackson and Matthew Skebo.

Lois Mary Fielding (Lackie) of Calgary, Alberta passed away peacefully Thursday, September 11, 2014. Predeceased by her parents Clara and Howard Lackie, brother Carson Lackie, and survived by her brother Cyril Lackey. Lois is the beloved mother of Stephen Fielding, Catherine (Bob) Wilkinson, Tom (Debbie) Fielding. Cherished grandmother of Jason Fielding, Braden Fielding, Stephanie Ouellette, Amanda Ouellette (Paul Gabay), Vanessa (Stephen) Hines, Andrew Ouellette -Wilkinson (Emily Maitland), Ashley Fielding and Lauren Fielding. Great grandmother of Hannah and Hailey Hines. Dear friend and companion of Delmer and Glen McCaughan. Fondly remembered by her former husband Alden Fielding and friends and family from Smiths Falls, Ontario, Calgary, Alberta, and surrounding areas. Lois - A warrior for the Lord Mary - You are blessed, a woman honored above all names Lois was born on March 23, 1934 in Govan, Saskatchewan. Her family moved to Ontario during the drought and depression, and worked her grandfather’s farm in Lanark County. She treasured her father and was daddy’s little girl, following him around the farm. As a young girl Lois loved the farm animals -- they were her babies. This love of animals continued throughout her life. She loved school and did well, earning her high school degree from Smiths Falls District Collegiate. Immediately after graduation she started work as a bookkeeper at Langstaff Accountants. She was brilliant with numbers and pursued this career all of her life, becoming respected and honoured in her profession. Lois met Alden Fielding at a baseball game she attended with her older brother Carson. They were married on August 25, 1955 in Montague Township and built their first home on land given to Alden by his father. Lois joined Alden in running the family garage and grocery and raised her growing family. She devoted her life to her children. As her children launched into their own lives, Lois began a new life in Calgary, Alberta. She spent 32 years with her best friend and cousin, Delmer and his son Glen. Delmer and Lois were “two peas in a pod”, always hand in hand, and inseparable to the end. Lois was a hard worker and an entrepreneur, starting her own bookkeeping business, an ice cream parlor, a dog breeding business, and many other successful ventures. She was a gifted and creative seamstress, making her children and grandchildren clothes and blankets. Lois made ceramics - beautiful Christmas trees and Churches - and many other countless gifts. She had a green thumb and loved gardening, both indoors and outdoors. She was talented in the kitchen - she made the best apple pie ever! Lois was never afraid of a challenge and was always ready to learn new things. She was friendly, loved helping others, and generously gave of herself in every way. Lois loved the mountains and the farm, chuck wagon races, going for drives, gospel music, dancing, and singing. She adored her kittens and dogs and loved her family and friends. She cherished her grandchildren – teaching and encouraging them to fulfil their dreams. She always had an open heart and would go to any length to help them. Lois was a righteous woman of God - she lived her life to know Him and love Him. She was a prayer warrior, diligently interceding to see prayers answered for her family and friends. Lois shared her life to make a little more sunshine in ours! Lois touched countless lives and was loved by many. She will be dearly missed by family and friends. Family & friends may pay their respects at the Blair & Son Funeral Home, 112 Beckwith St. N., Smiths Falls from 1 - 4 pm Sunday, September 21, 2014. Funeral service will be held on Monday, September 22, 2014 at 11 am in the Blair & Son Chapel. Interment, Hillcrest Cemetery.

IN MEMORIAM
Elizabeth VanderHoek Compton Elizabeth was born in May 1924 in Ottawa, Ontario. She died peacefully in her sleep at age 90 on Tuesday, September 2, 2014, in Hemet, California. Elizabeth’s early years were in Ottawa, playing and helping out in her father’s grocery store. The family later moved to Toronto, where her violin teacher recognized her talent and commended her to the Toronto Conservatory of Music. Her love of music was constant throughout her lifetime, and Elizabeth expressed her joy playing a range of music from classical to gospel on the piano and violin. Because of the Depression, the family moved to Smiths Falls. She graduated from high school there and was accepted at McGill University; however, the high cost of tuition prevented her from attending. During the war years, Elizabeth lived in Kingston with an aunt and went to work in the chemistry lab at an aluminum plant. She met Peter VanderHoek (stationed in Kingston for the Canadian Army) at a social function for the Christian Men’s Association. When the Army sent Peter to Saskatchewan, they married and moved west. After Peter’s discharge, they lived briefly in Vancouver, B.C., then returned to Smiths Falls and began their family. Because of harsh winters spent working on the Canadian Pacific Railway, Peter and Elizabeth made the decision to move to Southern California in the early 1960s. Elizabeth was preceded in death by her first husband, Peter VanderHoek, and by two of their 7 children. She is survived by 5 children, 17 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren. Elizabeth is also survived by her youngest brother Berwick Hyland and his family in Smiths Falls, as well as by her second husband Ed Compton and his family. Elizabeth rejoiced in the Lord and enjoyed gatherings with friends, family, and colleagues. Elizabeth’s kind and caring nature endeared her to many throughout the years, and she will be sorely missed.

McLENAGHAN, William L. (Bill) – In loving memory of a dear husband, father, grandpa and brother who passed away Sept. 20, 2009. The moment that you left me Bill My heart was torn in two. One side filled with heartache The other died with you. I often lie awake at night When the world is fast asleep And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy I do it everyday But missing you is heartache That never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart And there you will remain Until the joyous day arrives That we will meet again. Very sadly missed Aurea, Donna, Sierra and families

Community – The long anticipated wait is over as The Station Theatre comes back from its summer hiatus and launches its movie nights series, starting this weekend with two of Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic films. Rear Window on Friday, Sept. 19, is followed by The Birds on Saturday, Sept. 20. Both screenings start at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, sold at the door only, are $10 for adults, $5 for students (with ID.) These rarely-screened film classics are the first offerings from the Station Theatre in its premier film series running from September through May each year. Our film selection committee is always on the lookout for challenging, thought
sonal and professional areas of life. This comedic slice-of-life film has an ensemble cast starring Jon Favreau, John Leguizamo, Scarlett Johansson, Dustin Hoffman, Sofia Vegara, Oliver Platt and Robert Downey Jr. It’s a special treat for “foodies” on the Thanksgiving weekend – an appetizer before the main feast on Monday! And the quality film offerings continue into November. The movie Jersey Boys will be screened on Friday, Nov. 21 and Saturday, Nov. 22. A film adaptation of the smash Broadway hit musical of the same name directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Christopher Walken, Jersey Boys tells the story of Frankie Valli and his friends through the songs of their 1960s band, The Four Seasons. But this weekend come on over to the Smiths Falls Station Theatre, located at 53 Victoria Avenue, for two great Hitchcock classics: peer in through our Rear Window, maybe even catching a glimpse of The Birds roosting nearby. And take us up on this little challenge. Alfred Hitchcock made it a point to place a cameo appearance in every one of his films, film buffs pride themselves on being able to point out director Hitchcock as soon as they spot him. Do you think you can find him? Hint: Alfred himself once said “the cameo roles were a bit of fun at first and then became a
superstition.” Later, when the public expected to see Hitch, he introduced the cameo as soon as possible so that they could concentrate on the film rather than the distracting cameo. We won’t tell you where Hitch shows up in either film we are screening as that would spoil all the fun. If you are a fan then you already know anyway. If not, come see if you can spot him yourself on your first viewing. We bet you can’t, as you will be so involved with the characters and the story telling that you’ll miss him. We invite patrons to join us in our exciting premier weekend film experience and to keep in touch with all our upcoming movie offerings – outstanding plays and special events – by signing up for our e-newsletter through a visit to our web page at smithsfallstheatre.com or by joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre). Remember that, as a reward to loyal patrons, those who come see Rear Window may come back the next night to see The Birds for half price with proof of the ticket stub from the night before, space permitting – so come early and avoid disappointment. Students get in two for one ($5 student price) with previous night’s ticket stub and ID. Submitted by the Smiths Falls Community Theatre.

Our Colour Party led by Jack Curran was very busy over the summer with requests for our colour party to attend functions. He is always looking for members to join the colour party and would welcome anyone interested as we are coming into our very busy time with November 11 and the Santa parade coming very fast.

Community - Where has the summer gone? Our new executive has been busy getting acquainted with their responsibilities. I neglected to advise in my last article that Peter Campbell will be heading up our Financial Review Committee. This is a very important position as Campbell and his committee will review our annual budget and current spending on a quarterly basis to keep us on track. Our general meetings have started up again in September and will continue the first Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the main Lancaster Hall. Please join us if you are a member to see what the Legion is doing and keep up with our business and events. I would like to thank both members and the general public that have supported our events over the summer. Our fish and chip nights, the first and last Friday of each month are becoming a huge success. We start at 4 p.m. and take the last order at 7 p.m. and in some cases have sold out. Put the dates on your calendar for a great meal. The next one will be on Sept. 26, followed by one on Oct. 3. Our Veterans Services Department under Jim Jenkins started a coffee club for veterans and the first one was Aug. 29 in our Centennial Room and was a huge success. They welcome all veterans in town to join them whether a Legion member or not. They are hoping to have this event every two weeks and encourage all veterans to come in and join them for coffee and just visit with each other. Contact the veterans service office at the number below to see when the next one is. They also encourage all veterans to contact them if they need assistance in getting a pension or VIP services from Veterans Affairs. They have helped over 100 veterans and widows that are not all Legion members to secure money and services from Veterans Affairs. Make an appointment with them to see if you are eligible 613284-1805. There was large contingent from our district coming to the Legion Sept. 13 and 14 to attend a veterans conference on the Saturday and a poppy seminar on the Sunday. These are very important seminars that the Legion holds in different places to update and guide service officers and poppy chairs for the coming year. The poppy campaign will start this year on Oct. 31. Legion Week, is fast approaching and we will be starting it off with a jamboree on Sept. 21 from 1 to 6 p.m. We will be hosting the veterans luncheon Sept. 24 in the main Lancaster Hall from noon to 2 p.m. and encourage all veterans and a guest to attend. This is an event to honour all veterans that have given so much to ensure we live in a peaceful country. We have sent a request to Petawawa to have a contingent of soldiers to come to the Legion on Saturday, Sept. 27 to give us a demonstration of some of their artillery, however we were just advised that due to them being on “high alert” they are unable to join us. We will have an Open House at the Legion on Sept. 27 with a barbecue available from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Please join us and see what the Legion does for all veterans, members and our community. We also invite you to check our fabulous museum on the lower level where all artifacts have been generously donated. Legion Week is a special time to thank a veteran. We granted seven bursaries from our local branch and our Ladies Auxiliary granted three of $500 each to local high school graduates for their continued education. We will be starting the new bursary program and will be sending out applications to the local high schools in September for the 2014-15 year. New information has just arrived on the Provincial Bursary program where students can receive

Community – The final cruise for the Smiths Falls Cruisers 2014 was a crisp but sunny day at Walmart on Sunday. This popular weekly ‘Show and Shine’ for classic cars and trucks brings drivers from Brockville, Perth, Prescott, Kemptville, Carleton Place and across eastern Ontario. Its success is due in large part to its highly-regarded organizer, Don Bates, who has been spearheading the local event for the past 18 years. On this day, he presented a cheque for $200 to Crime Stoppers (bottom right photo) and assisted in the distribution of several tables full of prizes to the drivers. His team of volunteers (bottom left) are also members of the car club who are instrumental in making this undertaking the amazing success that it has become.

Local inventor needs boost to take invention to next level Stacey Roy
sroy@perfprint.ca
News – Bev Hitchins has taken her invention to help those with neck and muscle pain from concept to prototype and is now looking for business interest to take it to the next level. Bev Hitchins of Smiths Falls conceived the Hitchins Post after years of living with chronic back pain due to lupus. The creation was originally intended to help her, but soon she discovered more people were interested in it. In November 2013 the device was licensed by Health Canada as a Class 1 medical device. The brick like wooden frame is made of red oak and has two knobs on it (in a small or large size) and Velcro on the back that attaches to a sister piece of Velcro often affixed to a post. Each Hitchins Post set includes six sizes – a small, medium and large for the neck and back. The device, when placed in the right place by the user can gently remove the knots in the back by shocking the muscles, Hitchins explained. “The most important part of it is being able to do it yourself,� she said. Stacey Roy/METROLAND Hitchins has been going through the process Bev Hitchins shows off the prototype for of bringing an invention to market for the last 18 her invention the Hitchins Post, which months, all on her own.

The next step in Hitchins business plan is to create a prototype in plastic. Hitchins hopes this new take on the Hitchins Post will open up other uses, including by those in wheelchairs or on an airplane. To make this dream a reality Hitchins needs to create the plastic pieces in an autoCAD program so it can be taken to the National Research Council’s 3D printer and made into a cast. Anyone interested in learning more about this product can go online to www.hitchinspost.com or email her at info@hitchinspost.com.

She said some workers may experience a pinched muscle during a shift, but don’t always address it with their managers. By the end of the shift their backs are in bad shape and they need to take some time off work to recover. Hitchins envisions these same staff members in the future being able to go to the staff room where the Hitchins Post is and self-adjust before returning to the floor. “This is a feel-good product,� she said.

Doug Ford is new pastor at First Baptist Church Community - “It has been amazing the way that the hand of God has worked.” This quote has been said many times in the past two months as First Baptist Church and Douglas Ford have seen God bring him and his family into our community. Ford comes to Smiths Falls, leaving behind a prosperous painting business in St. Catharines, Ont., and an established church and family life. The Fords have felt the call of God strongly leading them into full-time ministry for a number of years. Earlier this year, they packed up their home in St. Catharines planning a move to North Carolina where Ford could take a year to study. Instead, the call of God led him to Smiths Falls Baptist and to apply for the position of pastor of family life. His job in Smiths Falls includes developing activities for youth and children, as well as bringing hope and peace to busy, modern families.
Rev. Doug Ford “It’s an impossibly large job,” chuckles Ford, yet gives full credit to God for his journey and for his ability to do the job here in Smiths Falls. Born in Toronto and raised in the Newmarket area, Ford’s home for the last number of years has been St. Catharines, where he founded and managed a successful painting company, called Streetscape Painting. He has been married to Jennifer for 12 years, and together they have two children and a dog. The Ford family is excited about putting down roots in Smiths Falls and sharing
the love of Jesus in their own unique way. Ford has experience working with youth and young adults in a church context and through the outreach ministry of Youth For Christ. His passion for his Saviour, Jesus, has led to active church ministry as a Bible teacher and volunteer leader. Ford is currently completing a Bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies from Southern Evangelical Seminary. He also enjoys a good coffee and a great book, a bike ride with the kids, and a movie with his wife. Ford began his service at First Baptist on Sept. 1, and is eager to meet families with children and youth, drawing them closer to God. For more information on upcoming events that you and your family can be a part of go to www.firstbaptistchurchsmithsfalls.ca or find them on Facebook: facebook.com/firstbaptistsmithsfalls Submitted by the First Baptist Church.

News - Without access to the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal park lot a proposal to create a four storey, 48-unit seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; apartment complex in downtown Smiths Falls may never break ground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re relying on Tracy (Zander) and Niki (McKernan) to work this out,â&#x20AC;? said developer, Bryant Cougle of Brylin Homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no interest in that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to happen.â&#x20AC;? Cougleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request is to rent out 31 parking spots from the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal parking lot beside the development on Main and Market streets. The total of 60 spots is a parking requirement by the town given the total number of units proposed. The current project design includes 11 outdoor and 18 underground parking spots. Lynda McKimm, town manager, explained the municipal parking lot does not currently allow for overnight parking so that it may be plowed in the winters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So where do they park overnight in Smiths Falls,â&#x20AC;? Cougle asks. The parking was originally intended for customers of downtown businesses and not for residential tenants in the core. Coun. Dawn Quinn questioned if this project provided the needed encouragement to review the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parking policies. There was general agreement that the proposal does meet a housing need in the community by providing seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; housing for a reasonable rental rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to encourage more people to live in the downtown core and this project takes us in that direction,â&#x20AC;? Mayor Dennis Staples said. Where this project is concerned, making good on this encouragement may take the form of relaxing some of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s building requirements. Of particular interest is the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request to have a traffic study completed on the proposed project. This will allow the town to see if the development would increase traffic volumes and negatively impact pedestrian traffic and traffic flow in that area. Cougle asked for the ability to complete a traffic calming study instead, which is reportedly about half the cost of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirement and less detailed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of things we need to consider,â&#x20AC;? Coun. Ken Graham said. Coun. Lorraine Allen supported the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concept, but felt council needed detailed information on what it would mean for traffic patterns in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very busy, congested area,â&#x20AC;? Allen added of the overall project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there are lots of opportunity for seniors to enjoy our downtown.â&#x20AC;? Brylin Homes has seen some positive response to his initial advertisements in the area. They will be looking for 60 per cent capacity before they begin the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty positive about that,â&#x20AC;? Cougle said.

Bears gain points the hard way in CCHL action losses to Brockville, Gloucester Laurie Weir
ljweir@metroland.com
Sports – Despite losing two CCHL tilts over the weekend, the Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears are still in a good place, collecting a pair of points in shootouts against Brockville and Gloucester. “Anytime we can get two points, it’s a win,” said Walt Dubas, assistant coach. “It’s tough when we make the comebacks like we did, and then lose in shoot-out, but we’ll take the points.” Once they get to the shootout, it’s out of their control, Dubas said. It’s up to the goalie and the shooter at that point. The parity across the league is at its peak at this early stage of the season, the assistant coach added. “It can be anyone’s game.” Brockville 4 Smiths Falls 3 Friday in Brockville, the Bears travelled to Braves ice where they opened with the first goal of the game from Taylor Henry, on the power play at 14:01 of the first. He was assisted by Neil Doef and Jaren Henry. In the second, Liam Folkes tied the rally with Brockville’s first goal of the game at 17:40 when he got by Michael Pinios. Nicholas Coates gave Smiths Falls the lead in the third period with his goal at 9:06, assisted by Sebastien Barrette and Cole Busschaert. Brockville tied it again when Eric Israel scored on the power play at 10:59 then Brett Van Stralen put the Braves up with less than three minutes to go.

Gloucester 3 Smiths Falls 2 At home against Gloucester on Sunday afternoon, in front of just 239 fans, the Bears dropped another shootout decision to the Gloucester Ragers, 3-2. The teams traded goals in the first with Gloucester scoring the opening marker at 6:44 when Branden Makara got by Pinios. Smiths Falls retaliated when Domenic Camastra scored with just seconds to go in the period. He was assisted by Daniel Lombardi and Josh Leblanc.

In the third, Gloucester tied the match when Matt Foget scored with 5:18 showing. After another scoreless overtime period, the game went into a shootout with Ryan Kuffner and Joey Fallon getting by Pinios for the win. Game stars were Kuffner (Gloucester), Pinios (Smiths Falls) and Doug Johnston (Gloucester). Just 12 minutes were whistled on Gloucester for six minors. Smiths Falls was hit with eight minors for 16 minutes in the box. “We’re still not playing a full 60 minutes,” Dubas said. “But we’re working on going in that direction. The boys are working hard,” and this next couple weeks will be testament to who will be at the top of the heap. Those key games will kick off Friday with a home game against Cornwall, then an away game in Carleton Place Sunday against the Canadians. The following Friday, Smiths Falls will host Pembroke Friday night and the Ottawa Jr. Sens Sunday afternoon.

The Ottawa 67’s posted a come-back win, 3-2, over the Kingston Frontenacs in a rare OHL treat at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre on Friday, Sept. 19. Pictured, Ottawa’s Ben Fanjoy (right) tries to keep control of the puck as Kingston’s defenceman Matthew Watson moves in, in first period action.
Lazarev sharp as 67’s beat Frontenacs in Smiths Falls Sports - Rookie goaltender Leo Lazarev made 41 saves in regulation and did not allow a goal in the shootout as the Ottawa 67’s posted a 3-2 comeback win over the Kingston Frontenacs Friday night at the Smiths Falls Memorial Community Centre in an Ontario Hockey League pre-season match. Lazarev, a Moscow native whom the 67’s selected in the second round of the 2014 OHL Priority Selection, had an outstanding game, turning away the Frontenacs on several occasions to keep the 67’s in the contest. He stopped Kingston shooters Robert Polesello and Corey Pawley on the Frontenacs’ first two shots of the shootout. With the game on the line and resting on the stick of Lawson Crouse, Lazarev came out to challenge and Crouse shot high, giving the 67’s the win. Down 2-0 heading into the third, Ottawa evened the score on goals by Dante Salituro on a power
play (at 0:57) and Nathan Todd (at 5:00). The game went directly to a shootout at the end of regulation (there is no overtime in pre-season OHL games) and Todd was the only player to find the back of the net. Todd, selected in the fifth round of the 2014 OHL draft, beat Kingston goalie Jeremy Helvig to give Ottawa the advantage that the team would not relinquish. Todd now has two goals in two pre-season games for the 67’s who were outshot 43-19 through regulation. Defenceman Mike Vlajkov, injured after two games last season, returned to the 67’s line-up on Friday. Kingston’s goals were scored by Sam Schutt and Chad Duchesne.

This contingent of Canadian hockey players were in Prague last month where they earned a silver medal in the Czech Hockey Challenge Cup.

resilient as they were gritty, putting in a stellar effort to win five games out of six. Among countless highlights from the Czech Challenge Cup was an unforgettable goal during game number three. Picture this: Canada 3, Hvezda Praha 0. A pair of Stars are in the penalty box with less than two minutes left to play. Out comes the opposing goalie, leaving three Canadians facing six very steamed locals. The intrepid Ontario trio is savouring every moment. Nine bodies form a clump in front of the Canadian net whereupon the puck miraculously exits from a spider’s web of intertwined legs. It sails untouched for 50 metres to invade the empty net and score a final coup de grace… You had to be there to believe it! With their five exciting wins (another of which was an 8-2 barnstormer against
Kobra Praha), the team was just one short of Hvezda Praha Red, who won the gold. A colourful gala ceremony took place on Day 6 at the Letnany Arena where girls and boys from a dozen or so teams collected trophies and medals. The Stars were cheered loudly by their exuberant moms and dads as they received silver, posed for photos, then set out for a final dinner of tasty Czech cuisine and a refreshing pilsner or two for the parents. Looking back, sincere congratulations are owed to coaches MacLaren and Barr for their guidance and inspiration, to all the boys, their parents, trainers Dave Lannin and Adam Gray, and the ever-gracious Czech guide Lucie Solarová. The silver trophy victory was a collective effort in the purest sense.

Sports - The sports trip of a lifetime took place in early August when 16 local “AA” players, their coaches and parents flew out of Montreal to participate in the 23rd annual Czech Hockey Challenge Cup in Prague (Praha in Czech). They were named the “North American Stars” since the voyage was organized by a Boston travel firm that sends contenders from both sides of the border. The team was blessed with a spirit as uniquely Canadian as ‘The Game’ itself. The company comprised emerging talents from the following Major Bantam AA teams: Cumberland Grads, Gloucester Rangers, Rideau St. Lawrence Kings, Seaway Valley Rapids, Ottawa Sting, Ottawa Valley Silver Seven, and the Upper Ottawa Valley Aces. Although the lads played on opposing sides during the previous competitive season, new alliances were established on the international stage. Former opponents became the best of icebuds in their weeklong series featuring five Czech and Slovakian teams. Countries that sent players from other age groups were Belarus, Latvia, Russia, and the U.S. It is interesting to note that players who rose in the ranks after earlier challenge tournaments include Andrei and Sergei Kostitsyn of the Nashville Predators and Tomáš Plekanec of les Canadiens. The Stars were managed by wellknown Rideau St. Lawrence Kings coaches Thomas MacLaren (of Perth) and Rick Barr, who oversaw four June practices, Canada Cup games, and the tournament itself. Yet all the warm-ups in the world could not have prepared the team for what they christened “The Prague Fog Cup.” Since some of the host arenas were built ages before hockey became a year-round sport, ventilation is rudimentary at best. As a result, humidity forms a blanket of mist at ice level by the end of any given period. One could almost imagine the coaches calling out, “Heads down, the puck’s between your feet!” Thankfully, the eastern Ontario athletes were as

The importance of compassion: Humane education Community – After two successful years, Lanark Animal Welfare Society (LAWS) is once again offering school based lesson plans to all schools/community groups in Lanark County and the surrounding area via their humane education program. “Our pilot year was very well received; it’s amazing how much interest there has been for the program! I met just over 2,000 children in the last year alone so I hope we made an impact on the importance of compassion towards animals” says Beth Searle, OCT, the humane education director for LAWS. Compassion is the key with each visit. The humane education program not only talks about how to treat your animal at home but also focuses each and every visit on how to greet unknown dogs. Her furry friend Bentley – a nineyear-old Chocolate Labrador – helps each child learn how to greet him if they so wish. “So many children do not know how to greet a dog properly. This can result in children developing fear towards dogs which in general can be avoided very easily if taught the proper methods. Most dogs love children and will happily greet them but to keep both the dog safe and the child safe it’s important every child knows how important it is to greet a dog properly. We also talk about why sometimes children shouldn’t greet dogs and how to respect the animals’ space when out in public,” she says. With every visit Searle delivers a school-based lesson to the class. As a former teacher, her lessons run from JK/SK up to grade 8. She also recently developed lesson plans for high school

Beth Searle, OCT, LAWS’ humane education director and her furry friend Bentley are looking forward to visiting schools and community programs starting up again this year. classes as there was interest last year. “I have met some amazing high school kids who already understand the importance of compassion towards animals – we expanded on that with hands on activities both in class as well as at the shelter,” Searle says of previous visits. The lessons offered in the humane education program are often incorporated into units for literacy, math, social studies and art. This past year the program expanded to also include community groups. Searle visited with TYPS (Taking Young
People Seriously) in Almonte as well as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lanark County. Other groups such as Beavers and Girls Guides, along with some Sunday school were visited over the course of the year. Searle says, “although this is a schoolbased program, there is always room for expanding this further wherever there is a need or a desire for us to be there. LAWS is a fantastic animal rescue shelter. I’m very proud to be a part of LAWS and to be bringing this program out in to our community.” With the new school year upon us,
classrooms and community groups will be treated to engaging school lessons that according to Searle, “encourages children and teens to develop compassion, a sense of justice and a respect for the value of all living creatures. It provides knowledge to resolve conflict situations and make responsible choices with regards to animals at home and in the community, as well as fostering a sense of social responsibility. The students learn how to make good choices that reflect their own personal beliefs and to take action to defend those beliefs. Caring for themselves and all other
living creatures, and developing a strong sense of self is at the root of what we’re trying to achieve with this program. In the long term, we hope that this will encourage the next generation to not only become responsible animal owners, but help them some day to become confident, determined, responsible and passionate adults.” As was mentioned, on each visit the children will meet Bentley for a safe, hands-on introduction to a temperament-tested dog. “Bentley is a gentle soul who simply wants to either play with you or sit by your feet and stare longingly up at you so he’s up for any type of environment – as long as he gets to make people happy!” she says. New this year, where requested, Searle can alternatively bring a friendly and cuddly cat for a visit. Searle is currently booking visits for this school year, at the request of the teacher, school, church or community group. Whole school visits are welcome and encouraged. “Last year two schools in Lanark County had me visit every single class over the year – it was phenomenal!” she says. Contact Searle at humaneeducation@lanarkanimals.ca for more information or to schedule a visit. Don’t forget to check out all the lesson plan descriptions LAWS is offering as well as the photos from previous visits over the years located in the photo gallery at the website: www.lanarkanimals.ca/outreach/humane-education-2/.

Should you need to clean any stains or mold that develop, just
Picking up a flagstone cleaner is a good idea once your pavement has settled as all flagstone pavement is susceptible to water stains, particularly if the water in your area contains chemicals such as alkaline or if it has added minerals. Even with the utmost care, stains are still likely to

With flagstone, maintenance is effortless. To avoid stains, simply sweep it regularly to ensure any loose dirt or plant debris don’t stain your stone by staying on it for too long.
occur in outdoor living spaces, especially if you use them for cooking and dining. With stains considered, make sure to seal all of your flagstone pavement when it is completed. The sealer goes directly into your stone’s pores and helps to prevent any damage caused by spills. Just be sure to avoid sealers with glossy finishes as they can alter your pavement’s appearance— instead use a penetrating acrylic sealer with a matte finish. By using that instead, any water or oil that hits your pavement turns into beads. To further protect your pavement, reapply this sealer yearly to shield it from damage and help maintain its colour.

Threat of violence ever present in The Drop MOVIE: The Drop STARRING: Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, Matthias Schoenaerts, and James Gandolfini DIRECTOR: Michael R. Roskam RATING: 14A Arts – In The Drop everyone has a story, and everyone has their secrets. All of which intertwine at the neighbourhood bar. In Brooklyn a lot of money changes hands in the course of a night. The kind of money that can’t go in a bank. The kind of money that organized crime likes to keep hidden. Still, it has to end up somewhere, and that somewhere is called a drop. Sometimes that place is a bar called Cousin Marv’s. Marv (James Gandolfini) used to own the bar with his name on it. He used to be a big shot in the neighbourhood. He used to be
a loan shark until a bigger and meaner group of criminals moved in and took over. Now they own the bar, and Marv is left to run it. Bob Saginowski (Tom Hardy) is Marv’s cousin. He tends the bar for Marv, and does his best to keep himself out of trouble. Then one day he’s walking home, and hears the whimper of a dog. He finds the animal in a garbage can badly beaten. A woman, Nadia (Noomi Rapace), comes out to help him, and his life takes a turn. Along with Nadia, the dog also brings Eric Deeds (Matthias Schoenaerts) into Bob’s life. Eric is the nutcase who threw away the dog, and now he wants it back though Bob doesn’t have a lot of time to worry about Eric. One night the bar gets robbed, and it sets off a chain of events that will reveal everyone’s secrets, and end some of their stories.
My Take
MARK HASKINS
Throughout The Drop there is a subtle threat of violence that hangs over everyone. It permeates the film, and creates a tension that keeps building until it inevitably explodes. It makes for an interesting film experience. You are constantly waiting for something to happen. For something you believe has to happen, and when it finally does, when the big secret is finally revealed, it happens so suddenly and with such ferocity you almost can’t believe it. In one of his final performances James Gandolfini shows why

he was such a sought after actor. His grasp of Marv’s bitterness and desperation is nothing short of brilliant. His ability to inhabit the role makes you forget the actor and see only the character. Nadia is perhaps the one innocent in this whole story. Noomi Rapace is extraordinary as she portrays the strength Nadia projects to mask her fear and vulnerability. Tom Hardy plays the unassuming Bob with incredible skill and emotional dexterity. You want to like him, but there’s always something about Bob that makes you wary. It’s very subtle, and Hardy plays it perfectly. A film like The Drop relies heavily on the way it builds tension, and the mystery surrounding its characters. The way The Drop does it is mesmerizing. Mark Haskins’ column appears on a regular basis.

Smiths Falls man has owned 1941 Ford coupe for 35 years! Community – Terry Ceaser of Smiths Falls, Ontario, writes: “Hi, Bill. I bought a 1941 Ford business coupe 35 years ago and which I watched being rodded 55 years ago by Dick Roy in Cornwall. “The car has an interesting history. After Dick Roy rodded it, he sold it to someone in Ottawa and it was sold four times after that. Each owner changed its appearance and it finally appeared in a driveway in Smiths Falls, where I live. I drove by it one day and thought I recognized it, so stopped to look at it more closely. I ended up trading a 1974 Mark IV Lincoln for it. “A frame-off rebuild was done about ten years ago by Matthews Auto Body, which involved installing the 1941 Ford body on a 1987 Chev S10 truck frame and replacing all the fenders, quarter panels, hood, and cowl. Two years ago, a 1990 HO (High Output) 5.0L Ford Mustang engine replaced the 5.0L police engine installed when the frame-off restoration was done. The S10 suspension, disc brakes, power steering, and Positrac differential were used. The car is a daily driver, not a Trailer Queen, and I enjoy driving it on local trips to cruise nights in our area. “I really like reading your stories in our local paper, the Smiths Falls Record News.” Terry’s ultra-cool ’41 Ford coupe has undergone a world of changes since it
rolled off the assembly line more than 70 years ago. If it was built at the Ford plant in Windsor, Ontario, it had a factory list price ranging from $1,080.00 to $1,180, depending on the series. As a business coupe, it left the factory as a 3-passnger with front seat only (the sedan coupe had a rear seat). Under the hood was a 221 cubic inch flathead V8 engine cranking out 85 horsepower. A close look at Terry’s coupe reveals exhaust cut-outs at the rear of the front fenders for those times when he wants a little extra horsepower (and a little extra noise!). The original side trim has been shaved off and the door handles have disappeared! You will have to ask Terry how he gets in. The rear licence plate has been nicely frenched into the trunk lid, and the rear end sits slightly higher than the front, as if the car is ready to zoom away! And how about that chopped top, giving this car a low and powerful look when you see it approaching in your rear view mirror! I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, 25 John St., P.O. Box 255, Leamington, Ont. N8H 3W2.

Mischievous fairies amid mortals bring romantic comedy to CP Town Hall Arts – “Lord, what fools these mortals be!” So says Puck, the spirit of mischief in William Shakespeare’s romantic comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. And he’s right: threatened by her father with being shipped off to a convent if she marries the wrong man, a young lady (and her lover) escape into the enchanted forest. But once there, they – and many others – are led astray by the dancing fairies, as well as the King and Queen of the spirits. Into the mess stumble a crew of bad actors looking for a quiet spot to rehearse. In the midsummer moonlight, Puck turns their best actor (and biggest ham) into a donkey, and makes him fall in love with the spirit Queen. In the end, of course, love conquers all, and magic sets everything to rights. But Shakespeare levels a bunch of jokes about the foolishness of young love – and the egos of actors – along the way. Written in about 1593 – probably for a private performance for the lords and ladies of the court – A Midsummer Night’s Dream has remained a perennial favourite up to this day. In fact, the Stratford Festival is mounting a performance this year. Not to be outdone, the Mississippi Mudds, Carleton Place’s long standing dramatic and musical troupe will be, in its 41st year, mounting a new production of this timeless classic. Twenty teenage actors – who we all

about the coming performance: “Obviously, we don’t have the resources of the Stratford Festival. But I think this young company, with its energy, its tal-
ent, and its commitment to the play can provide an illuminating perspective on how Shakespeare’s wisdom is seen through younger eyes. And, of course, we’ll be using all the technical mastery of the backstage staff to turn the town hall into an enchanted forest.” Many of the region’s favourite young actors from previous productions will be returning for this performance. They are currently in rehearsal in church halls around Carleton Place, honing their craft and learning their lines. “The commitment of these young actors is incredible,” says Piper. “I personally don’t know how they do it – memorizing the lines, coming to rehearsal twice a week, and still going to school and some of them holding down part-time jobs. But their hard work pays off. It really is amazing to see how well a group of committed people can realize Shakespeare’s dream.” Then again, maybe Puck was wrong, and these mortals aren’t such fools after all. The Mississippi Mudds Youth fall production of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be presented at the Carleton Place Town Hall in two evening performances: Oct. 17 and 18 and two matinee performances: Oct. 18 and 19. Tickets are $10 and are available from Read’s Book Shop, 135 Bridge St. or by calling 613-257-7323. Submitted by the Mississippi Mudds.

Fall season means preparing for additional cost of winter tires Lifestyle – “Hi Brian, I read with interest your column in last week’s EMC. I’d like your thoughts on a matter of interest to me. Last November I transferred my 2010 KIA ES to an immediate family member. It had very low mileage and the only one long trip on it. Imagine my shock when they recently told me they had to have a complete brake job done on the car at a cost of just over $1,100. Another member of the family who is a mechanic mentioned that there appeared to be some rust on the brakes and to get it checked out. That was done immediately and thus the brake job. I don‘t understand how a four-year-old car would need the brake job nor do I understand the “rust”. Checking with KIA all I got was it could “depend on the driver”. I would like to have your take on this. Of course, it is considered maintenance and not coveted under the warranty.” Thanks. Having to get brakes replaced (I’m assuming linings/pads and rotors) on a five-year-old vehicle isn’t really much of a surprise no matter how many kilometres it has or doesn’t have. And as to the rust, well, we live in Canada and are addicted to road salt and have more than our share of precipitation. Brake rotors and drums for the most part are made of untreated and ungalvanized steel. I’ve parked vehicles on hoists with their wheels off overnight over a wet freshly-washed shop floor and found a
Car Counsellor BRIAN TURNER
fine layer of rust on the rotors the next morning. There are coated brake rotors now on the market that can reduce the amount of rust that accumulates on them, but they aren’t used as original equipment by any carmaker I know of. When the vehicle was transferred to this family member it would have required an Ontario Ministry of Transportation safety standards inspection and certificate to switch the ownership. While that occurred in November of last year, it would still be interesting to know what condition the brakes were in at that time. Tire pressure sensors Whether we like it or not, fall is almost here and that means preparing for winter tires. I recently heard from a customer who had a tire shop tell him his auto insurance might be cancelled if he opted for a winter tire and rim package without tire pressure sensors on his vehicle that was equipped with such a system from the factory. Few car owners ever purchase tire pressure sensors for
their winter tire and wheel packages. It’s primarily a cost issue as these sensors can cost over $100 each depending on the make and model involved. Automakers are clear on this. They do not recommend any car owner bypass or deactivate a safety system on their vehicle such as omitting tire pressure sensors. I checked with several provincial insurance departments such as British Columbia and they state drivers are still covered whether a tire pressure system is operational or not. I also contacted the Insurance Bureau of Canada and this has not been raised as anissue with them. My own advice is, if you want the convenience of automated tire pressure monitoring and your vehicle is equipped with such a system you should purchase sensors with your winter tire/rim package and have the system working 12 months of the year. If you don’t use separate rims for your snow tires, but use the original wheels instead, you don’t have to worry. The sensors will stay with the rims and keep on working. If you don’t want to pay the expense of another set of sensors, then buy a good quality tire pressure gauge (less than $15) and check your tires regularly (twice a month).

Classic Theatre Festival’s fifth anniversary season comes to happy close Arts – As the Classic Theatre Festival drew the final curtain on its highly successful fifth anniversary season, artistic producer Laurel Smith, was thrilled both with the increased attendance – including a significant increase in the number of tourists – and a theatrical season that has grown with the introduction of a historic, theatrical walking tour, Perth through the Ages. Smith is also extremely grateful for the remarkable work of scores of volunteers who built sets, worked as ushers and front of house staff, and helped create the new theatre space at 54 Beckwith Street East this season. “It is no cliché to say how much volunteers mean to the functioning of the Festival, not only from Perth but from as far away as Ashton and Sharbot Lake, all of them acting as brand ambassadors for Perth, both for the tourists attending the Festival as well as in their own communities,” she said. “Our end-of-year audience surveys always indicate a huge satisfaction with the friendly faces they meet when they first arrive at the festival: it caps off a perfect Perth experience that keeps people coming back year after year.” The summer 2014 season posed a number of new challenges for the festival, from the creation of a new theatre
space at the Good Shepherd Hall in St. James Anglican Church, to creating street theatre that brought to life characters and stories from Perth’s 200-year history through a theatrical, historic walking tour. The tour was launched in partnership with the Matheson House Museum and the Ontario’s Highlands Tourism Organization. “All of the elements came together really well this summer,” Smith said, noting with pride that “audiences were thrilled not only with our Neil Simon comedy but also with the production of our first mystery thriller, as well as our youth theatre training project that presented the walking tour. All these activities brought new audiences to Perth, many of whom had never been here before.” As always the thousands of visitors to the festival filled local restaurants, shops, and accommodations, providing a solid boost for the local economy. “We know the role professional summer theatre plays in many smaller communities as an economic driver and tourism attraction. We also know it has played a significant role not only in Perth but in surrounding communities that, for example, will host audience members at bed and breakfasts, for lunch or dinner, or in shops in communities from Balderson to Smiths Falls and Westport.”
The festival is now busy planning its 2015 summer season, which will be announced later this fall, with two productions and a brand new theatrical walking tour featuring new stories and characters from Perth’s history. “It takes a community to support a festival of this nature. This year, we had support from a myriad of sponsors and partners. They included Best Western Plus Perth Parkside Inn and Spa (season sponsor), TVCOGECO (sponsor of Come Blow Your Horn), Camlux Electric, WTC Communications, The Graham-Dixon Group, Barnabe’s Your Independent Grocer, Carleton Refrigeration, Perth Tourism, the Perth & District Community Foundation, Tay River Reflections, McAdoo Construction, Perth Planing Mill Supply and Perth PC. We were also very grateful for the support of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund and the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation,” Smith said.

Goosebumps and other summer musical memories unique instruments, too many to mention but well worth catching if you get the chance. The 24th Street Wailers were great to see again as they kept people dancing. This incredibly hardworking blues band has grown, adding one of the Whiteley clan, Jesse Whiteley on keys, only enhancing their groove. They’ve come a long way since guerrilla showcasing in the halls of the Folk Music Ontario Conference a few years ago. With so many camping and the late night campfires sometimes as magical as the stage presentations, I wrap my whole Blue Skies weekend up as an incredible success. Oh, and having Rick Fines, family and friends camping and jamming beside me as well as the Dardanelles camped not far away, kept the musical magic creeping through my campsite all weekend… tough, yeah, I know. Thanks to all the volunteers who make it happen, year after year. I wasn’t dry all summer. My far better half, Sue, myself and our dogs headed to the camp for a relaxing week, only to listen to the rain beat off our add a room’s roof or the dining tent’s tarp for five days in a row. We even had to resort to turning on the heater just to get rid of the dampness and resulting cold a few times. Lucky the stereo still worked so our music playlists off MP3 players, computer, compilation CDs or CBC kept us company as we read many books. I want to say, right here, right now that a high five goes to whomever created “shuffle” on these vehicles of music. To be able to listen to ongoing music without commercials, never knowing what of our favourites was coming next was truly wonderful. No wonder so many songs are written about the rain. The rain did drive us inside at the Westport Music Festival later in the day but we were still able to catch Miss Emily (Emily Fennell) of Kingston and her
band who rocked out inside the Cove when rain decided to provide its unwanted rhythm on the stage outdoors. Capping of the day though was New Country Rehab, John Showman’s band, who brought his fiddle tunes that showed how they merge and reinterpret the real country music of old via the super players he always has around him. Thanks Westport Arts Council and all the volunteers who made it happen. Anyone ever been to the Westport Lions Club Beach & Clubhouse? Well, we attended a great wedding there where music mattered. We were dancingly entertained by players from Kingston and area under a star studded sky. A wide spectrum of ‘goodiegolds’ were covered with ease making yet another memorable musical evening. Nice to see players perform with all the necessities: good sound, extensive songbooks and enough musical creativity to make anything positively happen. Jenny Whiteley and Joey Wright hosted a barn concert recently where Jeremy Fisher filled in last minute when Amy Milan was unable to make it. I’d heard of him before but now can say I really enjoyed his stories and playing. It’s definitely worth catching where you can. Jenny and Joey opened and showed why they’ve won Juno’s. Yikes, they’re good. Our family celebrated 30 years of being at the same camp by hosting a wonderful local band, String Tease at our site one Sunday where, thankfully, only the unknown held off the rain until after our soiree ended. Via their energetic live music many new friends were made and old ones reacquainted. Thanks, gang.
Community – On Sept. 14 in communities across Canada, the annual Terry Fox fundraiser for cancer research was held. In Smiths Falls, it marked the first run since a five-year hiatus. Left, participants give a thumbs up as they make their way through Lower Reach Park. Ashley Kulp/ METROLAND
This summer’s highlight though was an intimate house concert I attended on the weekend by Laura Smith. Now I’ve heard this Canadian icon many times, in many locales over the years but I have never heard her voice so pure, strong, unique and mesmerizing as I did Saturday night. Accompanied by Jamie Campbell, she highlighted many of the tracks on her new CD Everything Is Moving, often introducing them with delightful stories of their origins. Since her most commercially successful years when she was playing across North America and being championed by the late Peter Gzowski on CBC, being invited to play the Bluebird in Nashville, she later unfortunately got figuratively trampled by the sometimes unscrupulous music industry and literally trampled by a horse which took years to recover from. Thanks to friends, patience and a hell of a lot of personal dedication she has returned and I literally had goosebumps from her first vocal note. Her songs bring a vision of historic or rural events via stories to light, as if in full high definition. All this weaved throughout with her haunting, emotionally charged sweet voice. I consider it a true honour to have been there to hear her at her best. I trust you, too, had many wonderful, musically filled events all summer. It will be memories like these that must keep us going through the upcoming
non-summer months. Thanks Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoafor the goosebumps and kum and Buck Owens.

Lifestyle – Finally back at the keyboard after a wonderful summer break. Where did that summer go? Oh yes, it rained lots. But, for the most part I was quite lucky. I thought I’d share some memorable musical moments of my summer and hope you had lots of your own. Being the onsite co-ordinator for Stewart Park Festival, I always worry about what dear Mother Nature might swing our way but, God bless her and the good vibes of all who attended, we had a dry weekend which left far more time to enjoy the magic of the music. Matt Anderson performed to a sold out show at St Paul’s United in Perth to kick off the festival on the Thursday. To witness him step away from the microphone and fill that sanctuary with just his powerful voice was mesmerizing, gave me goose bumps and will be remembered as one of the musical highlights of the summer. Another highlight was seeing Long Sault Trio put on a great show on the main stage this year. I’ve watched Linda Marie Grenier developing her musical craft for years as I have with Victor Maltby and Dave Tilston so to see them recognized as the true, professional performers they’ve become was good to see. I was thrilled for them. I give thanks to all the great volunteers who made things run so well this year. Hard to believe it’s the 25th annual in 2015. You know you can’t call it a truly rainy summer when it was actually dry for the whole Blue Skies Music Festival, a very rare occurrence of its 41 years running. Sheesham & Lotus & ‘Son were another summer highlight. I’ve enjoyed them many times before but not since they’ve added the “‘Son” playing sousaphone. Their tightness and overall sound made them the talk of the hill. I wish these troubadours well as they travel around the world with their ‘old time’ schtick, complete with jaw harp, fiddle, gourd banjo and other

News – Literacy success rates continue to improve in Ontario elementary schools with each passing year. Grade 3 math achievement rates have remained the same though they have dropped again for students in Grade 6. A review of Grade 6 student math responses shows students consistently do best demonstrating their math knowledge and least well applying that knowledge, particularly in problem solving. In secondary schools, math success rates have been improving steadily for the past five years for students in both the academic and applied courses. However, more than half the students in the applied course are still not meeting the provincial standard. Of the Grade 10 students who were eligible to write the Ontario Secondary Literacy Test (OSSLT) for the first time in 2014, 83 per cent were successful, maintaining a high level of literacy achievement. Results show the success rate on the OSSLT for students in applied English courses has, however, been decreasing each year for the past five years. Persistently low success rates for students in both the applied English and applied math courses suggest a review of those courses is warranted. Results of students in elementary schools: • Reading and writing: - 70 per cent of Grade 3 students and 79 per cent of Grade 6 students are now meeting the provincial reading standard, an increase of eight percentage points and seven percentage points, respectively, over the past five years. - 78 per cent of students in both Grade 3 and Grade 6 have met the expected level in writing. This represents an eight-percentage-point increase over the past five years for students in both grades. • Mathematics: - 67 per cent of Grade 3 students met the standard in 2014 compared to 71 per cent in 2010, indicating a fourpercentage-point decrease. - 54 per cent of Grade 6 students met the standard in 2014 compared to 61 per cent in 2010. This is a seven-percentage-point decrease from 2010. Results of students in secondary schools • Grade 9 assessment of mathematics: - The math success rate has steadily been improving in both academic and applied courses. - 85 per cent of students enrolled in the academic math course met the provincial standard this year, a three-percentage-point increase over the past five years. - 47 per cent of students enrolled in the applied math course met the provincial standard this year, a seven-percentage-point increase over the past five years. - The success rate of students in the applied math course has remained persistently low, with more than half (53 per cent) of the enrolled students in this course not meeting the provincial standard. - A significant number of students who did not meet the standard in the Grade 9 applied math course (90 per cent) also had not met the provincial math standards when they were in Grade 6. Grade 10 – Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT): - 83 per cent of participating students were successful on the OSSLT on their first try. - In the applied English course, the OSSLT success rate of students has decreased by ten percentage points in the past five years, from 60 per cent in 2010 to 50 per cent in 2014. - 75 per cent of students in the applied English course who were unsuccessful on the OSSLT had also not met the Grade 6 provincial reading standard.

Arts – For three decades, artists in Merrickville have made it an autumn tradition to open their studio doors to the public through the Merrickville Artists’ Guild Studio Tour. This free guided tour, which takes over two weekends, Sept. 27 and 28 and Oct. 4 and 5 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., is a rare opportunity for the public to see artists in their environments, and to buy directly from them. The quaint village of Merrickville and the surrounding pastoral countryside form the scenic backdrop for this free self-guided tour. Its heritage buildings, quaint shops, 19th century charm and rural vistas have attracted artists and craftspeople of national and international renown to the area for decades. In all this year, which is the 30th anniversary for the tour, there are 19 artists and craftspersons, including painters, mixed media artists, sculptors, potters, a photographer, a glass blower, a fine press printer, textile artists, an iron founder and a maker of rustic furniture – something for everyone. Using a full colour glossy brochure (available in most stores and studios in the village), visitors of all ages are able to create their own tour at their own pace, based on their own interests. What better way to spend a weekend than talking to the artists and craftspeople of Merrickville about their work? Enjoy exploring their studios and galleries and leave with an original. New artists this year, include: Rod
