More input needed on RVCA levy increases

NEWS

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

News – The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) levy is a line item on the budgets of every member municipality including Smiths Falls. That levy, which may increase according to RVCA’s budgetary requirements for each year, is causing concern among council members at various municipalities.

The issue was first raised in a letter from Merrickville-Wolford Mayor Douglas Struthers at the Aug. 12 committee-of-the-whole meeting in Smiths Falls. On Monday, Aug. 28, Coun. Dawn Quinn brought the matter up again, throwing some support behind Struthers’ concerns.

“I believe this letter has merit.

I’m not saying we put a figure on how much the RVCA can ask us to pay,” said Quinn in council, “but I don’t see anything wrong with inviting them to give us an idea of what they are planning so we can be prepared to budget that in.”

The RVCA’s budget is more than $9 million a year, with municipal levies making up about half of that amount. There are 18 municipal partners and all but one (Clarence-Rockland) have appointed representation on the RVCA board. Ottawa, which pays about 90 per cent of the levy, has six members.

“The six Ottawa RVCA Board appointees (two of whom are municipal councillors) have a 50 per cent weighted vote when it comes to the budget each year,” explained Coun. Ken Graham, the Smiths Falls RVCA appointed board member. “The suggestion from Struthers is that the municipal representatives are not doing their job. It’s a slippery slope when you allow municipalities to change the levy.”

As things stand, the RVCA staff present the board with the draft budget in January for ratification in February – that’s usually well past the budgeting process for most municipalities.

“I think we’re on a slippery slope when we have to cut our programming to balance our budget and don’t have enough

The town’s road works crew had to dig up Russell Street at Beckwith to fix a tree-root blocked sewer line outside Coffee Culture this past week. They then discovered a water main leak on Beckwith that they hoped to have fixed on Sept. 3.

News – Barriers across Russell Street right at the corner of Beckwith effectively blocked pedestrian traffic trying to cross Russell on the east side, as work crews toiled feverishly to repair a blocked sewer line that feeds into Coffee Culture.

“The original problem was a blocked sewer back-up caused by tree roots from the maple tree which we had to cut down,” said Don Looby, superintendent of works and utilities.

Known for their shallow strong and extensive root system, the maple trees in the downtown business core are causing concern among some businesses.

“I’ve complained about the trees,” said Emmett Griffiths, proprietor of Rideau Orthodontics on Beckwith. “The maple tree in front of our building is cracking the foundation and the town engineer I spoke to confirmed it was the problem.”

On Russell Street the situation was further complicated when the works crew dug down to the sewer line, and discovered another problem.

“Once we got in, we discovered

the water main on Beckwith was leaking, which we’ve temporarily repaired to minimize water disruption while we deal with the sewer line, but we’re going to repair it properly on Tuesday morning (Sept. 3),” said Looby.

Contributing to the problem is the vintage of the downtown water and sewage lines.

“This is the oldest part of town and these lines were laid down in 1914,” said Jason Dalgleish, works and utilities foreman.

Meanwhile the crew has been working flat out to minimize disruptions to the various businesses.

“They have been working at it nonstop from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m.,” said Maria Christodolou, proprietor of Coffee Culture.

However the café and eatery’s outdoor patio had to be demolished – the patio completely dug up, so the crew could affect repairs.

“They said they will take care of my interlocking patio stones,” said Christodolou, who while put out has been mindful of the workers, ensuring they had a supply of refreshments at her own expense as they worked.

“She has been amazing,” said Looby.

For most of the businesses in

the downtown core, the property line is at the outer façade of the buildings which means the town is responsible.

“From the property line out, the town pays to replace the lines,” confirmed Looby.

Although the burden of repairs may not fall to the businesses, the disruption to their operations has been very real.

“It’s a nuisance and it is disruptive but my doors are still open, though I told the crew that I would shut down at 5 p.m.,” said Christodolou. Coffee Culture usually stays open until 10 p.m., in addition the road remained partially blocked over the long weekend so that the leaky main could be repaired the following day. However, because it’s a main repair, water was expected to be shut-off for a period of four to six hours on Tuesday morning affecting a number of businesses on Beckwith, according to Looby. Once that’s completed the crew hopes to be out of there in short order.

“We’re planning to have everything closed back in by late Wednesday (Sept. 4) afternoon barring any unforeseen complications – like severe weather,” said Looby.

money to make infrastructure repairs,” said Quinn. “I still think that they (RVCA) should at least give us a presentation and show us why they need to raise the levy amount.”

The issue according to Quinn, isn’t so much the existence of the levy as how much it increases from year to year without a timely warning to municipalities.

“The idea is for the RVCA board members to have an opportunity to give direction to RVCA staff to bring in a budget that’s within parameters that are respectful of the tax payers who pay the bill, and cash strapped municipalities, in much the way that municipal councillors direct town staff,” said Struthers.

An example according to Struthers would be to execute a project over two or three years and prorate the cost accordingly.

“Believe you me, every member of that board is acutely aware of the fiduciary constraints of the municipality they represent,” argued Graham.

Meanwhile Struthers is suggesting that the RVCA draft budget be circulated in September or October to give both municipal members and RVCA staff time to refine it in much the way that municipal budgets are developed.

“We have no issue with Mayor Struthers’ letter,” said Sommer Cosgrain-Robertson, general manager of RVCA. “We are a municipally-based organization and mandated to consult member municipalities, so we are always open to dialogue.”

Recently appointed, CosgrainRobertson says the process will be changed to accommodate municipal concerns, with a preliminary draft budget scheduled for October rather than January.

“We can’t change the process this year, it’s too late, but we are moving towards an earlier process next year,” said Cosgrain- Robertson.

The RVCA’s other funding sources include grants, user fees, donations and fundraising.

News – Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps (RCSCC) Lanark Petty Officer Daniel Vincent, of Almonte, recently returned from a five-week trip aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Ship Henry Larsen, where he spent the summer touring Canada’s arctic.

Vincent was one of two cadets selected from across Ontario, and one of only four from across Canada to represent the cadet organization on this once in a lifetime trip. During his time away, he got to visit places most people didn’t even know existed.

He experienced such things as endless days with no darkness, helicopter flights and boat excursions through iceberg fields, and even curious polar bears checking out their ship. Vincent even had a chance to chip an ice chunk off an actual glacier to cool down his drink. As a result of the trip, he has achieved certificates of competency that are recognized outside the cadet program.

Another routine part of cadet training is attending summer camps at various locations in Canada. As part of each camp’s training program, proficient cadets are awarded for their efforts. During this year’s summer training at HMCS Ontario in Kingston, two Carleton Place cadets were fortunate enough to receive awards for their efforts. Cadet Leading Seaman Isabelle Bourget was awarded Top Cadet on completion of her general training course, while Cadet Master Seaman Ella Wiggins was awarded Most Improved on completion of her basic seamanship course.

RCSCC Lanark accepts new members between the ages of 12 and 18 during the first few weeks of September. If you are interested in learning more about the cadet program, please come see us on Wednesdays between 6:30 and 9 p.m. at the Navy League building at 137 John Street.

Walk to ease the lives of ALS sufferers at upcoming Sept. 14 fundraiser

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

Community – Walking to raise awareness and funding for the research and care of ALS – Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis also known as Lou Gehrig disease – sufferers has become something of a tradition for Judy Lavender. However, last year Lavender found herself abroad on Walk for ALS day. Loath to miss it, she approached the tour group. “We were in Florence [Italy] and we were going to do some walking that day, so I told them it was ALS Walk day. I didn’t know any of the people before the trip but everybody thought it was a great idea, so I gave them all purple ALS bands, which I happened to have,� said Lavender.

That meant a lot to Lavender. Her husband was diagnosed with the debilitating and fatal disease 20 years ago.

The Walk for ALS is fast approaching again this year, and the local walk, takes place on Saturday, Sept. 14 and raises funds for the Lanark, Leeds, and Grenville region. “There are 28 walks taking place across Ontario (94 across the country) and 60 per cent of the funds raised go to client care and 40 per cent supports research directly,� said Lianne Johnston, regional manager ALS Canada.

The care aspect of the funding is crucial to anyone struggling with ALS. “ALS is considered a fatal rapidly progressive neurological disease. About a 1,000 people in Ontario have ALS; 80 per cent of those afflicted will die within two to five years,� said Johnson.

In those short years those afflicted will need a lot of tangible support just

to cope with the disease progression, and that’s where ALS Canada comes in. “ALS Canada will do home visits and assess the needs and connect families with available support,� said Negin Neghabat-Wolthoff, director marketing and communications at ALS Canada. “They also donate equipment, such as assistive devices, communication aids, wheelchairs, and specially equipped hospital beds.�

Due to successful funding, Canada is also at the forefront of ALS research and exciting things are happening this year according to Neghabat-Wolthoff. “(The year) 2013 has been an unprecedented year in ALS research breakthroughs. Recent clinical breakthroughs and recent discoveries of genes associated with ALS are expected to change the landscape of ALS treatment,� said Neghabat-Wolthoff.

Last year, the Lanark, Leeds and Grenville 5 km walk or 10 km run out of Smiths Falls raised $39,000 and the goal this year is to raise $42,000. The walk starts from the Smiths Falls Legion, Branch 95 on Sept. 14 at 9 a.m. “The 9 a.m. start is so participants can get registered, then the opening ceremonies start at 10 a.m.,� said Sandra Burson, who has been organizing the event in Smiths Falls for the past 15 years.

Registration is $20 and can be raised through pledges. There is no minimum pledge amount. Every dollar counts, according to Burson. Not only that but ALS Canada offers participants various rewards for their fundraising efforts. The break down works like this: $100 – cool purple T-shirt; $250 – T-shirt and ball cap; $1,000 – T-shirt and picture frame;

Council formally adopts slogans Council approved a recommendation by the economic development committee to ratify two slogans for tourism promotions. The county has been actively promoting the region as “The Maple Syrup Capital of Ontario” and the “Maple Syrup Capital” for many years, which has been a successful messaging tool to distinguish Lanark County as a tourism destination.

Slogans are not usually protected by copyright, however, and the ratification of these two serves to formalize the county’s use of this messaging in public documentation. The tourism department may consider developing other new slogans or taglines related to maple syrup and maple experiences.

County receives AEDs Lanark County has received 13 Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) as part of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care’s funding program in conjunction with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. As a

result, the county is continuing to increase the number of recreational and community facilities and schools that now have this life-saving device.

Each year the county identifies potential sites and applies for the funding. The implementation of and training for the devices are coordinated through the Lanark County Ambulance Service.

Since the program began in 2007, the county has received 48 AEDs, which have been located in local public facilities and schools across the county.

Rick Hannah, the county’s emergency services coordinator, says the AEDs combined with CPR have proven to save lives.

“This is just one more tool to be able to help someone.

The use of CPR with AEDs improves one’s chances in a major way,” he said.

Transition funding allocated Council has approved a recommendation allocating funds for local initiatives through a one-time grant made available by the Ministry of Community and Social Services.

The $340,000 grant is designed to assist with the county’s transition to the new Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative (CHPI), which consolidates some existing programs and eliminates others.

CHPI aims to help people experiencing homelessness to obtain and retain housing or to help those at risk of homelessness to remain housed. Lanark County Social Services developed a 10-year Housing and Homelessness Plan through community consultations to determine gaps, identify goals and objectives, and to develop or expand programs to identify issues.

The funding is allocated to six short-term initiatives to improve affordable housing in Lanark County, including hiring a housing support worker for two years, financial support for community partners to attend the National Conference on Ending Homelessness, development of a two-year pilot program to fund residential space with the Susan Shirley Program (a non-profit maternity home and parent training centre), rental supports in partnership with Lanark County Interval House for two years for those fleeing domestic violence, funding for the Renovate Lanark Home Repair Loan program to help those applicants on a wait list and funds to expand the rent support program for two years.

County receiving gas tax allocation Council has authorized the county to enter into an agreement with the province for the Provincial Tax Gas Funding. The 2013 allocation of $429,000 for the county was announced by the Ministry of Transportation in July. The funding was first announced in 2004 to provide investment in public transit.

Funds must be placed in a separate reserve and any costs related to public transit

capital and growth in service can be funded from the reserve.

Upcoming meetings County council, Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 7 p.m.; economic development, Sept.

4 at 5 p.m.; public works, Sept. 4 (following economic development); community services, Sept. 18 at 5 p.m.; and corporate services, Sept.

18 (following community services).

Community – Bruce Raby’s recent kayaking trek along the Rideau Canal has given the local Lanark, Leeds and Grenville unit of the Canadian Cancer Society a $4,400 infusion.

The Perth man successfully completed his second annual Kayaking to Beat Cancer fundraiser, paddling 115 kilometres over three days, from Aug. 10 to 12. For six years prior he kayaked from Kingston to Ottawa and has raised more than $25,000 total. “It was fantastic,� Raby said of the voyage. “It makes me feel good that I can do this. I can make a little difference and as I get older, I’d like to believe that you can make a difference for somebody or someone in life and this is just a way I feel I can make a little difference.� “I’m doing something that I really enjoy. I got to paddle with my son, which is tremendous, and I paddled alone the last day but I’m doing it for a cause that is so terrible,� he continued. “People are suffering and dealing with cancer and it makes me feel guilty that I enjoy doing this, but it’s one way I can help...Hopefully it’s (funds raised) able to do some good for some people.�

Accompanied by his son Andrew, Raby started out bright and early from Last Duel Park on Aug. 10 and they made their way to Kilmarnock before stopping at a bed and breakfast for the night.

After taking time out to drop off a Japanese student his family hosted for a few weeks, Raby and his son were back on the water and made it to Pirate Cove Marina in Kemptville before setting up camp for the night.

On the final day, Aug. 12, Andrew headed back to work and Raby opted to complete the rest of the trek alone. “I got up quite early and was on

the water by 8 a.m. and I wanted to see how far I could get on my own and it took me two hours to get to Hurst Marina,� he said. “I was feeling pretty good and just kept paddling.� “...For eight hours non-stop I paddled. I pulled out a sandwich while I as waiting to go through the locks, but I never got out of my boat until 4 p.m. when I made it to Dow’s Lake,� Raby added.

He said the weather was “great� for paddling over the three days and he relished the time spent on the water. “I enjoy the quiet and serenity and the feeling of being alone (on the water),� Raby said. “It lets your mind and body get in sync with what you’re doing.�

In the past, Raby has attempted to enlist more people to paddle with him in the fundraiser, but said he likes keeping it a small and intimate fundraiser. “I would like to have lots more people paddle with me because I could raise a lot more money, but one of the advantages (of keeping it small), is that you don’t have to worry about other people,� he explained. “I can paddle as fast as I want, as long as I want and I can stop when I want to. And I’m able to be in sync with myself while paddling.�

Raby collected just over $100 on the water while on his trek and said he heard “some good and some bad stories,� and received encouragement for what he was doing.

Generous sponsors Another aspect that has made his Kayaking to Beat Cancer initiative so successful is the support Raby has received from local businesses and the generous public. “The support people have given me means quite a bit,� he remarked. “It helps me get the message out there that I am on the water and trying to raise money.�

Barnabe’s Independent Grocer in Perth, Steve’s Independent Gro-

cer and Walmart in Carleton Place allowed him to set up a booth to fundraise for donations. Walmart also matched monies raised, dollar for dollar.

Hinton Dodge Chrysler, G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction, A&B Ford, Perth Motors, G. Tackaberry & Sons Construction, all contributed to the cause, as well as LCBO stores in Smiths Falls, Merrickville, Kemptville and Manotick, which allowed Raby to collect funds through their coin box program during the month of July.

“I need to have businesses supporting me as well and I think that’s important. Some of these organizations do their own big fundraisers for whatever causes they’re supporting, so it’s still nice when they find a way to support me, one individual, doing this,� Raby stated.

Raby also appreciated the media publicity from the EMC, as well as Lake 88.8 and the Lanark Era. He also received complimentary lock passes from Parks Canada.

To thank those who made donations of $20 or more, Raby, also

an amateur photographer, entered names into a draw for one of his nature and landscape prints. The lucky winner was Donna Doelman of Kingston and Bennett Lake.

Even though he finished the fundraiser nearly a month ago, Raby is already busy thinking about next year’s event, which he said might include a few changes. “What’s going through my mind now is next year to extend the length of the paddle up the Rideau system more and start at maybe Westport,� he said. “Why not?�

News – Nominations for the Bill Thake Memorial Award for Economic Development Leadership in Leeds Grenville are now open.

This annual leadership award recognizes an individual who has volunteered his or her time to improve the economic growth and vitality of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville. Presentation of the award will be at the annual United Counties Economic Development Summit on Nov. 22 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre. The deadline for submissions is Sept. 27. All nominees will be honoured during the luncheon portion of the summit.

“We are fortunate to have so many residents who volunteer their time for the benefit of the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville,” United Counites warden Ron Holman said.

“It’s an honour to recognize their commitment.”

The award’s namesake, former Westport mayor Bill Thake, passed away in June and is greatly missed, Holman said.

“He contributed so much to our communities over the years. The leadership award is aptly named in his honour and now becomes a memorial award,” he said.

During his extraordinary lifetime, Thake was recognized as being the longest-serving mayor in Canada. He was first elected to the Westport council in 1961 and later became mayor in 1969. He was a mentor to many.

He worked hard to develop a strong economy in his village and communities across the United Counties.

Thake’s municipal experience spanned more than half a century with 52 years of service.

He was United Counties warden for four terms, including 2011 when this award, also called the Warden’s Award, was first introduced.

Hillier enthusiastic about upcoming property rights conference Sept. 13-15

LE T TER TO THE EDITOR

Underfunding First Nations education a costly mistake DEAR EDITOR: While the Conservatives have spent the summer talking about their forthcoming First Nations Education Act, they continue to ignore the elephant in the room: the federal government dramatically underfunds First Nations students’ education.

For a country like Canada, it’s shocking that only a third of high school students on reserve graduate each year.

And while the reasons are complex, one stands out: the federal government, which is solely responsible for financing First Nations education, only funds First Nations students two-thirds of the average funding per student that the provinces provide to other schools.

This financing gap contributes to lower test scores, stunning drop-out rates and a failure to equip students with the tools they need to compete and succeed in the modern workforce. It’s a big problem, especially since more than a quarter of the Aboriginal People in Canada are under 14.

This is a huge loss for our economy. Canada is coping with a lack of highly skilled people in the workforce, a problem which is projected to

worsen. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and other business leaders say higher investments in Aboriginal education are needed to employ this generation. One study found that by increasing Aboriginal education rates to the same level as non-Aboriginal Canadians could add $160 billion to the economy over the next seven years alone.

Sadly, nothing is being done, government spin notwithstanding. Despite the Conservatives being in power for almost eight years, the Auditor General found the government cannot demonstrate any progress in closing the First Nations education gap. Their record of neglect is shameful. And they continue to deny there is even a problem.

Giving all children a high-quality, relevant education and an equal opportunity to succeed is a core Canadian value. It is the right thing to do, and it’s also good for economic growth.

It’s high time we closed the gap.

Carolyn Bennett, MP Liberal Party of Canada Aboriginal Affairs Critic

COMMENTARY Back to school Editorials – Those big yellow school buses returned to local roadways this week with a flourish. Summer is over and school is back in session and it wouldn’t hurt for motorists to take a refresher on road safety.

The Ontario Provincial Police and CAA take back to school road safety very seriously and now that school has begun again, motorists should adjust their commutes to work accordingly. By Ontario law, vehicles travelling in both directions must stop completely when approaching a school bus with its red lights flashing. Due to steep fines, drivers who fail to do this will only do it once as first offenders could be forced to shell out between $400 and $2,000 and lose six demerit points from their licence. The fines increase for repeat offenders with the possibility of facing up to six months in jail.

School bus zones, posting speeds of 40 km per hour are also there for a reason. Drivers should exercise caution and beware of exceeding the limit. Those who drive 16 to 29 km per hour over the limit in these designated zones could pay a fine and lose three demerit points. If you feel the need for speed and drive 50 km per hour over the posted school zone limit, be prepared to be handed a fine of up to $10,000 and a suspended licence.

To avoid these situations, motorists should educate themselves on the rules of the road and get in the habit of watching for school buses and zones, and always stopping for school buses with flashing red lights. If driving within a school zone, watch for children crossing the street and adjust your driving accordingly.

There’s no such thing as being too cautious when it comes to road safety.

First day of school was always a special occasion Lifestyle – We thought nothing of the three and a half mile trek to the Northcote School. There were others who walked much further. And if, for any reason, we had to make a stop at Briscoe’s General Store, that meant at least another mile, as we had to walk the Rink Road to get there, bypassing Plaunt’s road which was our usual way of getting to and from school.

When we got to the end of our long lane, and onto the Northcote Side Road, we would meet up with the Thoms, our next-farm-over neighbours. And Velma and I, best friends, would hold hands all the way to the school. My three brothers wanted no part of we younger ones, and they would tear ahead of us, leaving us behind, as if we had the plague!

It was a dirt road all the way, and by the time we got to school, even our socks were covered with dust, and our shoes looked like they had been through a war! I was in boys brown brogue laced shoes that had come in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina, and I secretly prayed that the hateful shoes would fall apart

one day, and I could wear my Sunday-go-to-church shoes, which were just marginally better than the boys’ brogues.

This time of year, my three brothers, who every year Mother swore had grown a foot over the summer, had new running shoes to wear that first day back to school. They covered their ankles, and laced from the toes to the tops, and had thick black soles.

If Mother didn’t order them from Eaton’s catalogue, they were bought in Renfrew where Mother bargained for the best price, paying the princely sum of .98 cents a pair. And the stores in Renfrew weren’t too happy about trading a couple chickens or fresh eggs like Mr. Briscoe did at the general store in Northcote.

The boys were well warned to be careful with the running shoes, because they would be the only ones they would be getting. Even if they fell apart, Mother warned! “No scuffing along the side road,” she would bellow, as we all headed out the lane that first day back to school.

shoes, the brothers would have to resort to wearing their gum-rubbers, which made their feet sweat. If enough boys were in their gum-rubbers all at the same time at school, the whole place smelled to high heaven, causing Miss Crosby to fling the windows wide even on the coldest fall days!

And so it was, that first day back to the Northcote School, the three brothers in their new running shoes which they weren’t allowed to put on their feet until that morning, me in my boys brogues that had been shined with bacon fat, and our lunches in clean brown paper bags, we headed off.

At the end of the lane, Velma waited for me.

road. Boys never carried their lunch bags openly. They tucked them inside the front of their shirts, which did nothing to keep the sandwiches in one piece. We girls put our lunches in our book bags, in with our new scribblers, and whatever books Mother had to buy at the drug store. And always we girls carried a freshly laundered handkerchief, neatly folded, tucked in our book bag as well. If Kleenex had been invented back then, we certainly didn’t know about it!

Mother always tried to have my sister Audrey and I wearing something new for that first day back to school.

Not store-bought of course. Something she would have made from a leftover from the hand-me-down box, or from a well-bleached pair of flour bags.

Mother favoured making blouses.

Simple blouses, with little round Peter Pan collars, and she would search through her sewing basket until she found pieces of rick-rack braid which she would sew around the cuffs of the puffed sleeves and the round collar.

Very clever, was my Mother, I thought back then.

Even though we had seen the neighbourhood children many times over the summer, at church picnics, ball games, and family get-togethers, on that first day back to school, it was as if we hadn’t laid eyes on them for years!

There would be the Briscoe twins, in identical dresses. My little friend Joyce, always with something brand new that had probably come out of Walker Stores in Renfrew, and of course, bad Marguirite would have had a new permanent wave in her drug-store bleached Shirley Temple curls, and she would be in shiny black patent leather Mary Jane shoes, and little white socks with lace around the tops.

And there would be our same teacher...Miss Crosby...in the same dress she had worn on the last day of school two months before. And she would still smell of lilac talcum powder, and her black laced shoes would be so shiny, you could see your face in them.

Lifestyle – Western society has struggled for years trying to come to terms with how to manage marijuana. Is it safe? Should it be legalized or decriminalized? What will the ramifications be if public use of this drug, commonly called “pot” is given equal status with public consumption of alcohol in the eyes of the law?

Cannabis, the official name for the plant from which marijuana is derived, is big business in North America. Marijuana is now being sold legally (for medical use) as well as illegally.

Health Canada now allows individuals to apply for a prescription for medical marijuana following a set of rules and procedures.

The drug is favoured for pain control with respect to certain medical conditions. That is one of the factors advocates cite when calling for an end to the current laws against growing, selling and possessing marijuana.

Despite the fact so many Canadians now view marijuana use as “no big deal” challenges to the current laws in the federal courts have failed to achieve results.

The various pot-related sections and subsections contained in the Criminal Code of Canada and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act remain in effect. In general terms it is still against the law to grow, sell and possess marijuana.

It is for that reason that controversy erupted recently when newly elected Liberal Party of Canada leader Justin Trudeau publicly admitted he has “puffed” on marijuana cigarettes since he became a Member of Parliament.

Trudeau is now viewed by many as a hypocrite because in the House of Commons in 2009 he voted in favour of Bill C-15 which outlines mandatory minimum sentences for pot. The same year he also made anti-marijuana comments.

But last November he told a high school audience in Prince Edward Island that he favours decriminalization of pot. Now he has admitted to smoking it since becoming an MP. Official Liberal Party policy by the way advocates legalizing marijuana in order to keep it out of the hands of children.

I don’t think many people would view Trudeau’s actions as particularly troublesome if he had admitted to inhaling pot while he was a teenager for example or perhaps during his university days.

Telling the world that you have used marijuana since being elect-

Reflections

BY JEFF MAGUIRE

ed to Parliament and yet voting in favour of mandatory minimum sentences makes his position on the subject rather unclear.

I think it shows extremely poor judgement on Trudeau’s part and it underlines my personal feeling that he is unfit to hold high office, let alone serve as an MP. But that is the wonderful thing about democracy. Even poor candidates win elections. Consider Toronto’s mayoralty!

Against the law The biggest surprise for me in the wake of Trudeau’s ill-advised admission is the public reaction to it. Based on the polls I have seen, the majority of Canadians couldn’t care less.

The reality is that possessing marijuana is a crime in Canada and by flouting the law then surely someone in Trudeau’s position is sending the wrong message no matter how liberal (pardon the pun) his own views may have become.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay is among those who criticized the Liberal leader. At the same time he reiterated his government’s position. They have no plans in the works to legalize or decriminalize marijuana.

MacKay was immediately pilloried by some for his remarks.

One of his critics, a University of Ottawa law professor, disagrees with the minister’s statement that “it’s currently against the law to smoke dope.”

The prof contends that while the courts in Canada say it’s against the law to possess marijuana, it is not a crime to smoke it.

Surely he is splitting hairs?

If you’re smoking pot then you must also be considered in possession of the stuff. A silly argument I feel! And yet such a comment points to how muddled the whole situation surrounding marijuana use has become.

Yes, it’s against the law but it seems the courts treat simple possession with such leniency that it is hardly worth pursuing by the authorities.

That situation was highlighted last month when the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police voted overwhelmingly in favour of re-

forming drug laws in this country.

But only to a point.

Police chiefs want officers to have the ability to ticket people found in possession of 30 grams of marijuana or less.

The chair of the association’s drug-abuse committee says police currently have two choices: turn a blind eye or lay down the law to its full extent.

Officers can caution an offender. Otherwise they have to lay formal charges resulting in what the committee chair calls “a lengthy and difficult process.” If proven the individual would have a criminal conviction and a criminal record.

The police chiefs argue that ticketing offenders for possessing small amounts of pot would be “far less onerous and expensive.”

It sounds similar to how police currently treat consumption of alcohol in public places.

On the other hand police chiefs made it clear that, like the federal government, they don’t favour legalization or decriminalization of marijuana.

Those who are licenced to grow and sell marijuana legally for medical use say the ticket system proposed by police amounts to decriminalization.

There’s no question such a program would tend to diminish the seriousness of the offence which is why it is controversial.

MacKay, on hearing of the chiefs’ proposal, repeated his government’s position. Although he had no immediate follow-up on the recommendation, the justice minister did say he appreciates the input.

Which direction?

Many American states have moved to decriminalize or legalize marijuana. But US federal laws remain unchanged.

So, which is the best way to go?

Driving while impaired is just as dangerous whether alcohol or drugs are involved. That fact has been recognized in Canada’s criminal code for many years.

But while motorists impaired by alcohol can be given a spot check, determining impairment by drugs (including marijuana) is more complicated. Blood may have to be drawn and tested.

Police are increasingly concerned about productive use of available resources. Therefore they are looking for ways to cut corners and prevent officers from being tied up for lengthy periods

on cases which have a marginal bottom line. Simple possession of marijuana (small amounts) is not dealt with severely in most cases.

On the other hand is the matter of how much money the illegal growth and sale of marijuana generates for the criminals involved.

The return on investment is huge which is why organized crime is involved in trafficking marijuana.

I can honestly say I’ve never tried marijuana. First and foremost it is against the law to possess pot. But I don’t smoke and I have zero interest in marijuana or any other drug. Pain reduction aside, I don’t see any other practical use for marijuana.

Opponents of pot say it leads many users to look for a bigger high and therefore leads to addiction.

Proponents of legalization say marijuana use is harmless.

However, the most recent study results I saw – last week in fact – warn of the risks of smoking marijuana, especially for teenagers. The Canadian-America probe concludes that “the nature of the teenage brain makes users of cannabis among this population particularly at risk of developing addictive behaviours and suffering other long-term effects.”

A review of more than 120 studies, as well as original research by the authors, strongly suggests consuming cannabis during adolescence interferes with natural brain development and may hardwire some teens to develop addictions in adulthood. The research makes a strong connection between marijuana use and mental health problems along with addictive disorders. Worse still, the review warns marijuana could be considered “a gateway drug” to highly addictive heroin and cocaine.

The study disputes what the authors call “the growing perception, particularly in adolescents and young adults that cannabis is harmless, especially compared to other abused substances like nicotine and alcohol that are legal.”

This kind of scientific data is alarming and supports the Canadian government’s position that marijuana use should not be legalized or decriminalized.

I am very interested in readers’ views on this controversial subject. Please share your opinion with me. Your thoughts may even lead to a follow-up column!

Assessing voice problems in children

Kemptville welcomes Dollar Tree Business – Dollar Tree is one of the latest businesses to open its doors in Kemptville. On Aug. 31, a ribbon cutting was held to officially open the store. From left: North Grenville councillor Tim Sutton; Dawn Whitmore; councillor Barb Tobin; store manager Lorrie Briggs; general manager Paul Reynolds; and Ashley Willan.

Lifestyle – Some children have harsh or raspy voices.

They may have a voice problem.

Some voice problems in children are because of breathing or reflux issues, or the child may have some undetected nodules or polyps in their throat. Some voice problems are present at birth and some may develop later.

All children with voice problems must be seen by an ear nose and throat specialist to determine the cause of the problem.

Voice therapy with a speechlanguage pathologist may also be needed,

2:41 AM You would tell them about your heart condition and your medication.

Symptoms of voice problems that may develop: • Weak cry (in infants and toddlers) • Hoarseness or frequent laryngitis • “Scratchy” throat complaints or want water to soothe their throat • Breathy, airy speech • Trouble being heard or understood, especially in school or group settings What parents can do to help their children have healthy voices: • Rest the voice. Have quiet time and let your child do something fun like reading, crafts or playing a game.

• Reduce noise. We all speak louder when we are around other sounds, such as the TV, music, or other conversations, so try to keep outside noise to a minimum.

• Have a meaningful conversation with your child every day.

This will lessen attention-seeking behavior, like yelling, when your child has your attention.

• Take turns in conversations.

This allows for conversations without people raising their voices to be heard.

• No yelling! Discourage yelling in the house. Instead of yelling from one room to another, walk to the room where the person is that you want to speak with.

If your child shows any of the symptoms above or if you are concerned, please see your family doctor. Your doctor will be able to help you to take the next steps in helping your child.

If you are concerned about your child’s speech and language development, call the Language Express Preschool Speech System at 1-888-503-8885/613-283-2742.

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.

CDSBEO introduces new spiritual board theme for 2013-2015 school years Catechism of the Catholic Church, 15 prayer services, and more than 50 references to the Catholic Graduate Expectations. In addition, the elementary curriculum expectations are drawn from a newly developed Religious Education Policy document.

Summer literacy and numeracy learning project For the past four summers, the CDSBEO has had the opportunity to participate in a summer learning program for students in the primary grades, that focuses on building literacy and numeracy skills while integrating physical activity, the arts, recreation and rich field experiences. The Council of Ontario Directors of Education continues to coordinate and provide leadership for these summer programs, which are funded by the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat.

Children attended full days for one or both of the threeweek sessions which were offered to grade one, two and three students, between July 2 and Aug. 9.

Program teacher, Sarah Nielsen, and tutor, JoséeAnne Couture, presented to the board an overview of the experiences of the 95 participating students, who were from six CDSBEO elementary schools in Cornwall, and three elementary schools in Brockville. The sessions, which were hosted by Immaculate Conception Catholic School (Cornwall), and St. John Bosco Catholic School (Brockville), were taught by qualified teachers and tutors.

The program focus was to support students in acquiring the essential Ontario curriculum literacy and numeracy expectations and to sustain or

increase their individual skill development. Strong evidence supports that summer learning loss affects nearly all young people, and summer learning loss results in long-term, life altering consequences for some learners.

A high quality and engaging literacy and numeracy program, which needed to be different from typical schooling, was planned by the summer learning team. Students also had the opportunity to participate in a variety of other learning subjects, including art, music, dance and physical education. Several experiential learning opportunities were provided through swimming, tours of local ambulance stations/fire halls, and also visits to a local bird sanctuary, to help deepen the opportunities and skills of children, while also capturing their interest.

Plant and maintenance project overview for 2012-2013 Over the course of the last year, the CDSBEO plant and maintenance department has worked diligently toward the completion of an extensive number of upgrades within schools, and board facilities. Manager of plant and maintenance, Bernie Kehoe, presented to the board an overview of the considerable number of projects completed in 44 board facilities, including more than 5,200 work orders, and 120 projects.

Classroom additions and renovations were completed at four schools to accommodate new full-day, every day kindergarten programs.

Additions/renovations were constructed at the following facilities: St. Finnan’s Catholic School, Alexandria (one classroom renovation),

News – The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) meeting held Aug. 27 at the board office in Kemptville.

The CDSBEO’s unveiled the new spiritual theme which will be the religious focus for the next two school years.

“Witnesses to Hope – Remembering, Celebrating, Believing” is linked to scripture through 1 Peter 3: 15-16a, which reads, “In your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence.”

Superintendent of school effectiveness, Marg SheaLawrence, outlined to the board, they ways in which the theme will translate throughout CDSBEO schools via the religious education program, as well as integrated features for other curriculum areas. A school resource package with key learning objectives structured around the themes of hope, remembering, celebrating, believing and witnessing, provide staff and students with prayers and activities which will be integrated into student learning opportunities.

Intermediate and senior classroom activities around the theme will be taken from resources provided by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, which integrates subjects such as poverty, social justice, the environment, and religious freedoms.

Additional features of the package include more than 100 daily prayers for announcements, more than 80 scripture references, more than 60 references to the

St. Anne Catholic School, Cornwall (two-classroom addition), St. Gregory Catholic School, Carleton Place (three classroom addition), Holy Cross Catholic School, Kemptville (four classroom renovation), and J.L. Jordan Catholic School, Brockville (one classroom renovation).

These new classrooms will be ready to accommodate students for the 2013-2014 school year.

In addition to the four major construction projects, a myriad of additional facility upgrades were carried-out un-

der various government grant initiatives. These upgrades include: painting, replacement of flooring and window coverings, asphalt and improved drainage upgrades, flag pole installations, ODA (Ontarians With Disabilities Act) compliant projects, roofing replacement, washroom upgrades, and HVAC, water system and electrical improvements. Playground and gymnasium equipment was also inspected at all schools, and repairs were completed over the summer months.

Kehoe also reported that

several projects are currently in the design phase, including a 12 classroom addition at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place (completion September 2015), a four-classroom addition at St. Mary-St. Cecilia in Morrisburg (completion September 2014), and one-room additions and renovations at seven schools to accommodate full-day kindergarten (completion September 2014).

KOLYNCHUK Patrick “Pat” James January 18, 1957 Saskatoon, SK August 24, 2013 Calgary, AB

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden accidental passing of Pat Kolynchuk on Saturday, August 24, 2013 at the age of 56 years.

Pat was born into a very musical family in Saskatoon, SK where he took up the love of drums at a very young age. In the 1970s, Pat and his brother Ken formed a band called “The Collins Brothers” and they played professionally for fifteen years. Besides music, Pat’s other passions were flying and scuba diving.

Pat was also known for his ever positive approach to life, his smile and his wicked sense of humour. Of course, coming from Saskatchewan, Pat was a huge Riders fan and was looking forward to seeing his Riders win the Grey Cup this year at Mosaic Stadium – “Go Riders Go!” Pat is survived by his loving wife Bonnie Mulville; sister Linda Kolynchuk; brother and best friend Ken Kolynchuk; mother-in-law Bernice Mulville; sisters and brothers-in-law, Beth Mulville (Rick Johnston) and Berna Saul (Dave); nieces and nephews, Amber Johnston, Aaron Johnston, Stuart Eales (Daylyn), Michael Saul and Andrew Saul; and his faithful furry companion Kalo. Pat will also be sorely missed by his family, his dear friends, especially Linda Nagel, Dave Klein and their family, and by Drs. Jit Gohill, Arun Lakra and their staff and patients at the Calgary Ophthalmology Centre where he enjoyed working as a licenced optician for the past eighteen years. Pat was predeceased by his mother Josephine (1968), father John (2007), father-in-law Barry Mulville (1999), and niece Stephanie Saul (2010).

As per Pat’s wishes, a private family service will be held at a later date.

Forward condolences through www. mcinnisandholloway.com. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to a charity of the donor’s choice.

The Kolynchuk/Mulville family would like to thank Constable Bulford of the Waterton RCMP Detachment and the A/ Sgt Barker of the City of Calgary Police for their professionalism and support during this time. In living memory of Pat Kolynchuk, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park by McINNIS & HOLLOWAY FUNERAL HOMES, Fish Creek Chapel, 14441 BANNISTER ROAD S.E.

MOORE, Lorna June 3, 1939 September 7, 2009 Our lives go on without you But nothing is the same We have to hide our heartaches When someone speaks your name.

Sad are the hearts that love you Silent the tears that fall Living our lives without you Is the hardest part of all.

You meant so very much to us Your heart was kind and true And when we needed someone We could always count on you.

The special years will not return When we were all together But with the love within our hearts You will walk with us forever.

FERGUSON - In loving memory of our mom and granny Doris “Dodie” Ferguson, September 01, 2011 Miss you every day Love Dave, Theresa, Jacob, Ethan and Chelsea.

I’m Free Don’t grieve for me for now I’m free.

I’m following the path God laid for me.

I took His hand when I heard Him call.

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, I’ve found that peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow: I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full I’ve savored much, Good times, good friends, a loved one’s touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, Don’t lengthened it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

Cause no one knows the heartache we try so hard to hide and no one knows how many times we’ve broken down and cried.

We cannot bring the old days back when we were all together.

The family chain is broken now but our memories live forever.

Our house is empty without your laughter but I know you’re in heaven watching over and looking after us.

I didn’t see this coming. It hit me by surprise and when you left this world a big part of me died.

Your smile could brighten anyone’s day no matter what they were going through, and I know everyday for the rest of our lives we will be missing you.

Love forever Donna, Anthony and Addyson XOXOXOXO

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been bitten by the stage bug, you know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no cure. You can only treat the symptoms by getting involved in as much theatre as possible. Perthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Full Circle Theatre is offering a new series of workshops this month for young people who feel theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been seriously bitten.

Building An Actorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Toolkit is a series of three Saturday workshops Sept. 21, 28 and Oct. 5 that are designed as an intensive introduction to the art and craft of performing.

The performing arts have a history that is more than 3,000 years long and a set of traditions and skills that have grown up around them.

These workshops will give students in Grade 8, 9 and 10 a chance to explore some of the skills a performer needs in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;master classâ&#x20AC;? situation.

The workshops are led by three professionals with a combined experience of more than 100 years in the performing arts.

Phyliss Knox is a professional

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ottawa Valley Seed Growers Association (OVSGA) will contribute $10,000 to help produce the traditional cookbook for the 2015 International Plowing Match (IPM) to be held near Finch.

The decision was made at the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent annual meeting following an appeal from Jennifer and Jeff Waldroff on behalf of the 2015 organizing committee. Jeff Waldroff is also a member of the OVSGA. In thanking his colleagues for the investment, Waldroff noted the full cost to publish the cookbook of regional recipes is about $25,000.

Association members considered other ways of supporting the 2015 edition of the plowing match before determining that the cookbook with its back cover ad for the Seed Growers and their annual Ottawa Valley Farm Show provided the highest profile opportunity available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of our mandate,â&#x20AC;? said new OVSGA president John Roosendaal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We use some of the proceeds from the farm show to support worthy agricultural causes in our region. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve contributed to several past IPMs,â&#x20AC;? he continued.

Roosendaal, a Mountain farmer, was elected to a two-year term during the annual meeting.

He replaces Kinburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bruce Hudson who shepherded the farm show through its move from Lansdowne Park to the Ernst & Young Centre.

Roosendaal praised his predecessor for successfully completing â&#x20AC;&#x153;the toughest job for any president.â&#x20AC;?

In filling vacancies, lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Orignal farmer Cecil Cass moved up the executive ladder to first vice-president, while David Blair of Pakenham was elected second vice-president. Roy Carver of Ottawa has been named a director at large.

Mary Joynt of Smiths Falls and Tom Van Dusen of Russell were given new one-year contracts as association secretary-treasurer and farm show manager respectively.

In other business, a committee was formed to review OVSGA bylaws and to recommend on future vision; Hudson will serve as chairman and members will include Roosendaal, Lynda McCuaig, Roy Carver, Barb Keith, Robert Dessaint, and Shelley McPhail.

Community Stream Steward Program receives federal funding News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) Community Stream Steward Program (CSSP), a multi-partner conservation and stewardship initiative, is pleased to receive $30,100 in funding from the newly established

Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnership Program.

The program was launched in June by the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans and will provide $10 million over two years to help local groups fund conservation

projects that support the protection, restoration and rebuilding of recreational fishing habitat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fishing is enjoyed by more than two million residents and visitors to Ontario. The provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 250,000 lakes and innumerable rivers and

streams offer unbeatable fishing opportunities, and the variety of species available is second to none,â&#x20AC;? said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fishing in Canada is big business and contributes over $8 billion

The funding will help complete projects focused on coldwater streams with known trout and salmon populations and will

include mitigating barriers to fish passage; plantings and habitat enhancements; bank stabilizations; and debris and log jam removal.

Funds from the grant will also enable CSSP to hire a technician to assist completing the project.

The creation of a fund to improve conservation of fisheries through

community partnerships is a grassroots program that acknowledges the key role that natural resources play in the development and economic well-being of the country, and recognizes the importance of protecting and enhancing the vital recreational fishery and fish habitat.

Anglers and Hunters The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest, non-profit, fish and wildlife conservation-based organization, representing 100,000 members, subscribers and supporters, and 710 member clubs.

For more, visit www.ofah.org.

Another application window will open this fall to submit proposals for projects that are planned to take place between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015.

Veteran walking to raise awareness, funds for PTSD

By HOWAIDA SOROUR hsorour@perfprint.ca

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Most of us are quite used to seeing service dogs retained by the visually or hearing impaired but service dogs are taking on more roles every day or so it seems. On Sunday, Sept. 15, Thai a post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) service dog will be walking into Smiths Falls with her charge, Retired Captain Medric Cousineau.

A Star of Courage recipient Cousineau has been suffering from PTSD since risking his life in a harrowing rescue operation off the coast of Newfoundland in 1986.

Cousineau and Thai are on a campaign to walk a half marathon each day through 50 communities in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario in 50 days to raise awareness and funds. There campaign has been dubbed Paws Fur Thought. He will be spending a full day in Smiths Falls, where his parents originated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting him at the OPP station on Hwy 43 at 7 a.m., heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll walk to the lights and cross at Old Sly, up Jasper, cross over to Lombard Street to visit the air force plane in Victoria Park,â&#x20AC;? said Carol Levere, president of Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95.

He will be met by members of the Smiths Falls Air Cadets who will then walk with him to the main cenotaph and then to town hall where he will be met by the mayor according to Levere.

Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on to the library, the memorial cenotaph and a detour to Hillcrest cemetery where Cousineauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents and grandparent rest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have small poppy wreathes for him at the cemetery,â&#x20AC;? said Levere.

Cousineau is then scheduled

At 11:30 a.m. he will be whisked by car up to Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa, but should be back in Smiths Falls by 4 p.m. in time to attend Branch 95â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s month jamboree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stop the music so he can talk for 15 minutes or so, and then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll offer him dinner and present our donation to Paws Fur Thought,â&#x20AC;? said Levere.

Cousineau and Thai started on Aug. 1 and are hoping to raise $350,000, to fund a clinical trial because right now service dogs as a therapy for PTSD are not recognized by the Canadian Armed Forces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The DND/CAF is not opposed to canine therapy, but there remains insufficient evidence to warrant considering this treatment approach at this

time,â&#x20AC;? Captain Matt Zalot, Public Affairs Officer, National Defence told the Record News.

Cousineau however credits Thai, a golden lab, with his own recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything from covering my back in public so that people wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch me from the back side because I have severe hyper vigilance issues. She also deals with dissociative recall,â&#x20AC;? he told CBC News.

Meanwhile Canine Assistance and Rehabilitation Services (CARES) out of Kansas, who trained Thai, have been training dogs specifically for PTSD therapy for the past 20 years according to Sarah Holbert, CEO and trainer at CARES. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The original recipients were normally women who had been victims of domestic abuse or rape,â&#x20AC;? said Holbert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the last three to five years weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been

working with both veterans and active members of the military with PTSD.â&#x20AC;?

According to Holbert, the dogs are both a treatment and an aid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PTSD sufferers can go into deep depression, but when they have a service dog, the level of depression is not quite as low. In fact weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been placing dogs with people who are bi-polar since the beginning,â&#x20AC;? said Holbert.

That depression can result in PTSD sufferers taking their own lives, which is why Cousineau will briefly interrupt his visit to Smiths Falls to unveil a plaque at Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa, honouring veterans who have taken their own lives as a result of the condition.

The campaign, which started in Eastern Passage, N.S. is scheduled to wrap up at the war museum in Ottawa on Sept. 19.

613.283.7581 THE EMC - SF1 - Thursday, September 5, 2013

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Randy Hillier says he did not want his ruminations about Tim Hudakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued leadership of the Progressive Conservative party to be made public.

But, made public they were, in the guise of a letter sent to the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, Richard Ciano, and copied to other members of the party executive, on Aug. 6, in which he expressed his hope that another leadership vote would clear the air for Hudak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the unexpected release of this confidential letter to the Toronto media that brought my position on the matter to public light,â&#x20AC;? wrote the Lanark, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington MPP in an email exchange with this newspaper on Friday, Aug. 23. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My position, although occasionally distorted and torqued by some in the media and political circles, is expressed with clarity in my original correspondence with the P.C. Partyâ&#x20AC;ŚThis letter is the best clarification or comment I can provide you, as it speaks directly and completely to my position.â&#x20AC;?

The party will meet later this month in London, Ont., for its annual policy convention. Tory leaders in Ontario only face a leadership review in the months after a losing election. Hudak, who defeated Hillier for the party leadership in 2009, won his leadership vote in February of 2012 with 78.7 per cent support, after losing the provincial election the previous Oct. 6.

The calls for a new look at Hudakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership came after the party only picked up one seat out of five by-elections held on Thursday, Aug. 1, where it had been leading in polls in at least two other by-elections that day before the polls closed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite making tremendous gains in the last general election and winning a seat in Toronto for the first time in nearly two decades, there are party members and media pundits who have come out against Timâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership, in particular since these last by-elections,â&#x20AC;? wrote Hillier to Ciano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This proposed amendment is evidence of that. Historically, publicly-expressed doubts, when they are left unattended, have proved most damaging to our leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image and our partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morale.â&#x20AC;?

Hillier charged in his letter that â&#x20AC;&#x153;that continued, unaddressed criticism of Tim will subject him to a death by a thousand cuts.

To me, our party and leader deserve more than that.â&#x20AC;? He urged that the board allow for the proposed constitutional amendment to be debated in London, since, from his point of view, â&#x20AC;&#x153;anything less will be viewed as procedural manipulation and raise further suspicion and ireâ&#x20AC;ŚGiving the party an open forum to discuss this matter will shut the door once and for all on our leaderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s detractors.â&#x20AC;?

By not allowing this, Hillier charged that it could very well hurt the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances at the next election. While scheduled for the fall of 2015 under the fixed-election date law, with a minority government at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park, it could come at any time.

It appears as though Hillier got his wish last week when Ciano See LEADER page SF3

announced on Aug. 26 that he, the party executive, and constitution committee, had voted unanimously to allow for a debate over a new leadership review process.

This comes despite the reported protests of Hudak.

After a debate, a show of hands will be used to vote on the motion during the Sept. 20 to 22 meeting. According to the Toronto Star, the motion states that “party members should be able to trigger a leadership review no sooner than 14 months after the previous review…and no later than six months before a scheduled province-wide election.”

“The party executive was of a similar mindset to myself and followed through with the right course of action,” said Hillier during a telephone interview with the Record News on Friday, Aug. 30. “It’s always important, in my view…that people have a time and place to speak, whether you agree them or not.”

Until now, Hillier charged that party members only had “one avenue, one process,” to deal with leadership questions. If approved, “this creates a secondary process,” though he noted that it would require a two-thirds majority of delegates in London – and he hasn’t even seen the wording of the amendment yet, one of nine proposed constitutional amendments.

“I promised I would never vote on something that I had not read. It would be jumping the gun,” said Hillier. “Never was it a case of…a leadership review. I have confidence in people to weigh the arguments. I feel people should be more engaged in democracy.”

Hillier had not intended for his letter to be made public, and said “I was absolutely surprised,” when it hit the Toronto media, and by the stir it caused.

He said that allowing members a process to be able to challenge a leader’s grip on power has “merit to the concept,” and that he did not want to see a situation like occurred in Australia, where

MPP Randy Hillier Labour leader Kevin Rudd swept to power in 2007, before being ousted by Julia Gillard in 2010 – only for Rudd to wrench power back from her this past summer, in the lead up to a federal election this Saturday.

“The membership was not consulted at all,” said Hillier of the internal Aussie tussle, which makes the Tory dispute seem tame in comparison.

“You certainly don’t want to get into (a situation like) that.”

Hillier was unsure whether he would speak to the party constitution amendment in London later this month.

“I don’t necessarily speak to every amendment,” he said, having spoken in favour, and against, amendments at party get-togethers in the past.

MP Reid excited about Canadian property rights conference News – Scott Reid (MP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox & Addington) is excited to once again be a part of the Institute for Liberal Studies second annual Canadian Property Rights Conference.

Reid, who has made a career of defending the importance of property rights in Ontario, will once again be a speaker at this year’s conference.

“Property rights are a Canadian value,” said Reid. “And protecting these rights has been one of the great causes of my career. This conference is an excellent opportunity to get together and learn about the countless ways that property rights impact Canadians from all walks of life.”

Last year, Reid spoke at the conference held annually in Ottawa. Reid will once again be

News – Chimo Elementary School in Smiths Falls is embarking on the new full-day kindergarten program mandated by the Ministry of Education at the same time as opening the new kindergarten wing complete with kindersized sinks in every classroom and separate kindersized washrooms nearby. The new program and renovations came about as the school switched to full-day, everyday kindergarten from alternate days.

“So the classroom sizes are bigger, but the ratio of children to adults is lower,” said Joanne Backs, early childhood educator in the core English classroom.

Both teachers and early childhood educators are looking forward to the collaboration.

“I love the partnership and we each bring our own complementary expertise to provide a stimulating play-based learning program to the children,” said Christina Hayes, early childhood educator.

More importantly, having two qualified adults in each classroom allows them to vary their programming to suit the needs of the children.

“One of the advantages is that we can differentiate instruction to the abilities of the children more easily,” said Lezlie Moore, kindergarten teacher.

“For example if some children need to go outside - as sometimes they do - we can have some kids focused on activities indoors with one of us, while the other can take those that need it, outdoors,” continued Backs.

Provincial funding provided the impetus for both the expansion and for new equipment in each classroom. The new program began four years ago in major centres, but this is its first year at Chimo. With it comes a new mandate and curriculum.

“With the new program we’re supposed to take our cues from the children and then enrich their learning environment based on their input,” said Backs.

The new program is made easier with the renovations the

school has implemented.

“We had one kindergarten classroom at the front and two at the other end of the school, now we have four kindergarten classrooms in one contained wing,” said Dawn Bouchard, Chimo principal.

The new wing allows the younger children a little more independence as the doors at either end of the wing can be closed still giving the children access to their own perfectly sized washrooms.

“It’s awesome; we’re very excited,” said Arwen Diak, kindergarten teacher. “I had an older room with a step stool for the kids to wash their hands, but they still couldn’t reach the soap dispenser. Now they can.”

The four new kinder classrooms are bright and spacious and fully equipped with cubbies and smart boards. That’s not all, there’s also a new portable for the Grade 5/6 core and immersion classes bringing the current total to two portables.

“They estimate that before our population levels out we’ll need six portables,” said Bouchard.

Looking Back 100 YEARS AGO - September 9, 1913

A dispatch from Ottawa says: At a brief meeting of the Cabinet Council on Thursday afternoon the contract for Section 3 of the new Welland Canal was awarded to M. J. O’Brien and Hugh Doughney for approximately ten million dollars. There were ten tenders under consideration, including two British and two American firms. Work will be started at once by the successful tenderers, who will make Thorold their headquarters.

The contract calls for the completion of the work by April 1917. The contract for Section 1 was let some time ago. No action has yet been taken in regard to awarding the contract for the Dominion Government share of the Toronto harbor work.

50 YEARS AGO - September 10, 1963 Apparently few Canadians realize that tourist trade ranks among our top five exports, that it’s a valuable asset to our economy which needs to be developed and sold in the same way as the products of our other natural resources. For too long we’ve left it to the provincial and federal governments and the tourist agencies to do necessary promoting. While local Chambers of Commerce are making a real effort to stimulate travel to their communities with the limited funds that do little tourist advertising but nevertheless expect “George to do it.” These should be launching full-scale campaigns not only to lure American visitors but to encourage interprovincial travel by more Canadians.

25 YEARS AGO - September 21, 1988

Remember When

The Rideau Canal Museum fundraising campaign took a giant step forward last week with $50,000 from the Rotary Club and $25,000 from the Legion. Royal Canadian Legion Branch 95 President Garry Lewis turned a $25,000 cheque over to Rideau Canal Museum Fundraising Chairman Ron Holman Sunday, Sept. 11.

The cheque represents a one-year pledge by the current Legion executive. On Friday Rotary President Louis Belot presented Rideau Canal Museum Vice-Chairman Joyce Brennan with a cheque for $50,000. Rotary’s contribution is based on a three year plan. The fundraising was “progressing very well,” said Mr. Holman Tuesday. “It’s a good step forward but we’ve got a long way to go. We need the cooperation of the town people.

Mr. Holman and his fundraising committee must get pledges or receive donations totaling $750.000 if the Rideau Canal Museum Corporation is to receive $2 million in federal-provincial government funding.

Let the games begin: fall sports on track

ifestyle - I love September. Things get back to normal from a wildly wonky summer and I’m back in the ring - the sports ring that is.

It’s going to be a great season of hockey with a newly revamped Perth Blue Wings Jr. B team – arena, dressing room, coaching staff - and the reloading of the Smiths Falls Bears Jr. A team.

My Friday nights are booked already as I take in home games for the two teams. It will be a big day in Perth next Friday night as they host their home opener.

It’s been a fun ride for the boys in blue so far, as they’ll be the first team to suit up in the new dressing room, as they play for a new head coach and general manager.

In Smiths Falls, the coach is looking forward to working with a new lineup of recruits and if either training camps are any indication of what’s to come, then you won’t want to miss the action this season, which is already off to a huge start.

I’m also looking forward to getting back in the gyms at high schools and see how the basketball and volleyball teams are shaping

10 YEARS AGO - September 3, 2003 Close to 1,000 people show support for beef industry at local barbecue When the Smiths Falls Kinsmen Club started organizing the big cook-off held Labor Day at Lower Reach Park, members planned on using three cooking surfaces and keeping one in reserve. But as the crowds started forming up prior to noon, club president Chris Cummings knew then it wasn’t going to be enough.

“We had four huge barbecues and we could have used another four. At one time I counted the line up at 150 people while at another time there was 80. I would say it was 100 deep on average over the whole five hours” Cumming said after it was all over.

Organizers estimated 800 pounds of beef out of the original 1,000 pounds were served up. It made for one very long afternoon for about two dozen volunteers.

LAURIE WEIR Weir View up, then hit the gridiron and check in with the football squads.

The senior boys’ basketball teams will be busy in their pre-season (which is now until December) as they all will be collaborating to host the 2014 OFSAA championship.

Hosted by PDCI, the games will be played there, at St. John and at SFDCI. Convenor Kevin Bellamy, who is PDCI’s head coach, says Perth is no stranger to hosting OFSAA basketball, as they and St. John have hosted several tournaments in the past.

He says they will be raising money in what he hopes will be a successful corporate fundraising campaign to prepare for the tournament and purchase such things a new clock.

It will be a great opportunity to showcase our young talent and to sing the praises of the

communities of Perth and Smiths Falls as visitors will be here from across Ontario the first weekend in March, 2014.

Then look to the links at our own Brooke Henderson who is Canada’s top amateur women’s golfer. She’s been burning up the ranks all summer; quite an impressive resume for this young woman who will turn 16 this month.

I am also hoping to catch up with our graduating athletes as they head off to college and university and wish them all the best of luck with their future endeavours.

I am amazed at these young athletes – their drive and determination and great personalities.

What’s even more amazing that when talking with some of these young people, how they are able to stay focused, maintain high grade point averages and engage in the community. They are truly personable athletes.

Learning discipline from the game – whatever game you choose – will help later in life.

It’s the little things, like teamwork, focus, determination, scheduling, winning and losing, that make, not just great athletes, but great people.

We could all learn a lesson from our youth.

with the theme of physician attraction and retention by the town, they were, according to Cheetham, particularly interested in the potential outcome of the process and how it might be used as an example for other struggling rural communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a strategy and it would cost $5,700 which we already have in our budget under leveraging,â&#x20AC;? said Cheetham.

As director of economic development it is part of Cheethamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandate to pursue physician recruitment. By partnering with the ROI, the town leverages an additional $13,300 in funding as well as the ROIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expertise and arms length facilitation, bringing the project total to $19,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I support this initiative and I think the

need is going to be more acute in the years to come,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Ken Graham.

Meanwhile the ROI will provide a qualified lead consultant and support facilitator to co-create the action lab with the learning and design team. The ROI will also be responsible for providing support and coaching time as the town requires.

The process will begin immediately and will be completed by Dec 31, 2013 according to Cheetham. Any cost overruns will have to be absorbed by the town according to the ROIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terms of agreement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I manage the budget,â&#x20AC;? said Cheetham, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So there will be no additional costs and we will control the budget regarding what we do with the program.â&#x20AC;?

The Railway Museum of Eastern Ontario held its fourth annual Trainfest the weekend of Aug. 24 and 25.

The great weather, interesting and fun attractions made the weekend event a hit with visitors. There were model railway vendors, horse drawn wagon tours, food vendors and music. Visitors especially enjoyed being able to walk through old trains and locomotives. Shown here members of the Mississippi Valley Associated Railroaders show off their model railways.

The Canadian Northern Steam Locomotive No. 1112 was built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1912 as a class G-1-6a 4-6-0 Ten Wheeler. It was eventually converted to oil from coal. It was sold to the Quebec and North Shore and Labrador Railway and retired in 1961. There is only one other engine of its class in Canada. Sitting on the top of the 1112 is Liron Elman from Kanata.

Final service Sept. 15 at Newboyne church Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Church of St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Newboyne, will be holding its final service of thanksgiving on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 2 p.m.

Many will know the little cathedral in the country, established in 1873. In, 1832 local settlers, mostly Irish Protestants named their community New Boyne commemorating the battle of Boyne and reflecting a strong Orange Lodge influence. The

community saw the erection of their first church in 1852, which would later be replaced with St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church.

By 1872, it was decided that in order to accommodate the quickly rising population a new church was to be constructed. In 1873, St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church was erected with its interior completed by 1889. Thus began the 150-plus years of Anglican worship.

On Sunday, Sept. 15, the parish will hold its final service, a service of thanksgiving to God for the many blessings people have received.

Members of the community are invited to share memories and stories during the fellowship which follows the service. Please join us at 2 p.m. for the Service of Thanksgiving as parishioners, former parishioners. neighbours

and friends connect in worship as well as share in a visual trip through the past. A DVD has been made, memorabilia will be on hand and a pictorial book of the church has been compiled and will be available for sale.

Philippe Gadoury had two goals for the Raiders, with singles from Keenan Hodgson, Max Robitaille, Mitchell Herlihey and Jody Sullivan.

Sports – The Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears have opened their Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) season on a high note this week as they posted two wins and a loss to kick start the schedule in the annual Fall Showcase held last weekend.

All 12 teams played threeregular season games to start the 2013-14 season at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata during Labour Day weekend.

Scouts and recruiters from teams in the National Collegiate Athletic Association and Canadian universities were out to evaluate players during the 18 games.

“It’s very important as everyone can come together in a single venue and get to evaluate our players,” said CCHL commissioner Kevin Abrams in a press release. “Many will get on the radar of NHL, NCAA, (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) and major junior programs.”

After batting .500 in four preseason games, with splits against the Kemptville 73’s and Carleton Place Canadians, the Bears dropped a 6-0 decision on Saturday, Aug. 31, but turned that around in short order, claiming wins in their next two starts.

Smiths Falls 5, Cumberland 2 Monday, Sept. 2, the Bears earned a 5-2 win over the Cumberland Grads in an afternoon tilt.

Chris MacMillan opened the

scoring on a power play marker with help from Victor Beaulac and Brandon Lesway to score the only goal of the first frame at the 16:01 mark.

In the second, a four-goal period saw the teams trade leads.

Cumberland’s Maxime St. Pierre tied the score two minutes into the period with his power play marker. Brett Faber gave the Grads their only lead with a goal with 14:01 on the clock.

Smiths Falls shot back to tie it with Brett Costello’s goal about a minute later, assisted by Stefano Momesso and Beaulac. Daniele Disipio scored what turned out to be the winner, an unassisted play with less than three minutes left in the period.

Neil Doef and Nic Marchand added insurance in the final period with Domenic Camastra assisting on the Marchand marker.

Doef’s goal was unassisted.

Nicholas Hodgins was in the crease for the win, with Kevin Gollmer tagged with the loss.

Smiths Falls 4, Ottawa 3 (SO) On Sunday, Sept. 1, the Bears turned up the heat in their ‘home’ opener with a 4-3 shoot-out victory over the Ottawa Jr. Senators.

Ottawa scored twice in the first period on goals from Eric Clitsome and Ryan Collins.

Marchand replied for the home team in the second period with a pair of back-to-back markers, tying the score at two. He had help from Sebastien Barrette at 1:54, and Karson McCartney and

Sports – The Central Canada Tier 1 Junior Hockey League (CCHL) is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Gongshow Gear as the official supplier of lifestyle hockey apparel to the league.

Last year, Gongshow Gear sponsored the CCHL “Movember” campaign where more than $8,000 was raised in support of prostate cancer and mental health. This year, a major sponsorship has been expanded to include: Labour Day Super Showcase Player of the Game, Hockey Day in Canada Player of the Game, CCHL Goal of the Month, CCHL monthly 3-Stars and the overall 3-Stars for the season.

The 12-team league, which features the Smiths Falls Bears as one of its charter members, is coming off a great season last year boasting solid parity and former Cornwall Colt Michael Pontarelli earning “Most Outstanding Player” for all of Canada.

Kevin Abrams, commissioner of the CCHL is looking forward to another competitive season and very excited over this partnership, “we’re thrilled to have Gongshow Gear as a major partner, it’s a natural for us as our players love wearing it and we can both grow our game and apparel together.”

Smiths Falls Jr. A Bears acquire a few players from OJHL Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Filling vacancies on the Smiths Falls Bears this season are two defence veterans from the GTA: former OJHL players Ben Beasley and Daniel Lombardi.

Both Beasley and Lombardi should be strong additions to the Smiths Falls

Bears. Beasley has two years of Jr. A experience with the Mississauga Chargers and Lombardi has two and a half years with the Toronto Jr. A Canadiens. Both players were alternate captains for their teams last year so they should provide maturity to the Bears in

this rebuilding season.

Coincidentally both Beasley and Lombardi tip the scales at 190 lbs. and are 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122; tall with Beasley shooting right and Lombardi shooting left. Both are known as skill players providing solid defense combined with puck moving skills and

excellent play reading abilities.

When I asked Beasley what he thought of the Bears so far he replied â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unreal, they are an excellent organization.â&#x20AC;?

Given the number of players leaving the team after last season, getting two quality, seasoned defencemen should

help the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rebuilding process.

Beasley had 21 points, 64 penalty minutes in 44 games last season while Lombardi had 18 points, 57 penalty minutes in 51 games played.

Men’s twilight golf rolls on at Smiths Falls Golf and Country Club

By THE BOGEYMAN

Sports – The Aug. 29 edition of the Thursday Night Men’s Twilight was sponsored by Hank’s Tire, the format was scramble, and the weather was perfect.

And to show us they hoist more than cars, Dave Fleming and his crew raised the A Division trophy by posting the low score of 30 on the front nine.

Paul Cadeau, Ian Devonshire, Scott Devonshire, Ken Fennell, and Warren

Garton were the B Division winners with a score of 34.

On the back nine, Rob Dales, Behn Dales, Rod Parent, and Mike Donovan took A Division honors with a very low score of 27.

Roger Cooke, Bill Arnold, Gary Martin, Peter Aunger, and Larry McIntosh cruised to the B Division win with a score of 30.

The Roosteraunt closest-to-the-pin prizes went to Frank Healey and Peter

Aunger for their tee shots on holes 8 and 18.

Peter O’Neill and Sam Waldrum won the Burns Jewellers gift certificates for the best approach shots on holes 6 and 12.

The Town and Country Chrysler longest drives were pounded by Seth Baker and Andrew Drummond on holes 9 and 13, and our fearless leader, Rocky, drained the James Furniture longest putt on hole 17.

Finally, Cole McCreary was the lucky 50/50 prize winner, and George Hewitt took home the bottle of Tommy’s Twenty Boards Tonic.

Thanks to Hank’s Tire for great prize table, and to all who came out to play.

See you next week.

Last week’s Obsessed With Golf trivia question: Which golfer forgot his yardage book in the third round and shot 76, but went on to win the U.S. Open by one shot? Answer: B. Johnny Miller.

This week’s question: Bobby Jones called Gene Sarazen’s last 28 holes at Fresh Meadows “the finest competitive exhibition on record.” What did Sarazen shoot for those 28 holes, which equaled a par of 108, to win the U.S. Open?

Community – Strongman competitors are the stuff of legend, but you don’t have to move to Iceland or Poland to see one.

With thousands of dollars in prize money at stake, six strongman champions will battle it out in Carleton Place on Saturday, Sept. 14, competing in five events.

The sport of Strongman involves strength athletes who are dedicated to pushing to the limits of their performance.

Local resident Volunder (Wally) Thorbjornsson, seven-time Icelandic champion in powerlifting and captain of his homeland’s powerlifting team, spearheaded next weekend’s competition.

An accident in 1997 ended Thorbjornsson’s powerlifting strongman career. Today, he is a property developer.

Thorbjornsson arrived in Canada from Iceland approximately 11 years ago. He spent the first couple of years in Ottawa, before moving up to Mississippi Lake where he resides with his wife and four children.

Admission to the strongman competition is free.

“This type of event always attracts a lot of attention,” said Thorbjornsson, “and I want to bring more visitors to town, put us on the map.”

The first two events are the log lift and 20-ton truck pull, taking place at the Market Square and beginning at 11 a.m. The final three events take

place on the Wool Growers’ property, commencing at 2:30 p.m. They are the 600-pound farmers’ walk, 400-pound Husafell Stone and overhead 200-pound dumbbell press.

Each event is scored, and the contender with the highest total is declared the winner.

“I picked the events,” said Thorbjornsson. “They are well known, entertaining to watch and the safest for competitors.”

Food vendors will be on site at both the Market Square and Wool Growers.

Competing next Saturday are JeanFrancois Caron (Canada’s Strongest Man 2011 and 2012), Ben Ruckstuhl (Ontario’s Strongest Man 2013), Maxime Boudreault (Ontario’s Strongest Man 2012), Paul Vaillancourt (Ontario’s Strongest Man 2009, 2010 and 2011), Mike Saunders (Quebec’s Strongest Man 2012) and Ari Gunnarsson (Icelandic Strongman).

Magnus Ver Magnusson, four-time (1991, 1994, 1995 and 1996) winner of World’s Strongest Man title, is the competition’s referee. Sam Dubé is the announcer.

Ver Magnusson and Thorbjornsson are lifelong friends.

“Magnus is the biggest name in the sport,” said Thorbjornsson.

This past March, while attending the annual Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio together, the duo spoke about bringing a competition to Carleton Place.

“I would like to turn this into an annual event – an international competition at the highest level,” said Thorb-

jornsson.

Competitors arrive in Carleton Place on Friday night, Sept. 13; however, Ver Magnusson will come earlier, visiting with his good friend.

“I think everyone is getting together on Friday night at Guidos,” said Thorbjornsson.

He is hoping for good weather and a great turnout on Saturday, and thanks all competition sponsors and helpers.

“I am working with a small club out of Gatineau – Hyperforce Strength Athletics,” said Thorbjornsson. “Most of my staff (on Saturday) will be out of that group.”

The Market Square is located at the corner of Beckwith Street and Lake Avenue. The Wool Growers is located on Franktown Road.

Strongman competition hits Carleton Place

Partnering Thorbjornsson said he spoke to the local Business Improvement Association (BIA) and Chamber of Commerce about a possible venue for the strongman competition.

“The Market Square was suggested because the farmers’ market annual chili cook-off is that morning,” he said, “and cross-promotion is a good thing.”

Prior to the start of the afternoon events at the Wool Growers, the competitors will head up to Carambeck Community Centre to participate in the Walk to End Childhood Cancers, which begins at 2 p.m.

The fundraiser benefits six-year-old Bridget Rose Zavitske. She has stage IV Wilms tumor, a rare kidney cancer.

Nurturing our national nature in Canada’s National Parks

By MARY ROBINSON

Lifestyle – Éric Hébert-Daly, national executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS), recently addressed the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) at their 25th anniversary Spring Gathering in Almonte on May 16.

In his keynote presentation, ‘Looking Back and Looking Ahead: Nurturing Our National Nature,’ Hébert-Daly revealed three key shifts which have taken place in the approach to conservation in Canada’s National Parks: i) a shift in focus from visitor experience (or tourism) to ecological integrity; ii) a shift from unilateralism to multilateralism in planning; and iii) a shift from parks as isolated spaces or ‘islands’ to networks.

Shift to focus on ecological integrity In discussing the first shift, Hébert-Daly referred to Canada’s first national park, established 127 years ago at Banff.

When the government heard about the wonderful hot springs discovered by railway workers there, they realized this ‘wild’ natural wonder would be a great attraction for visitors, especially Europeans. The wilderness with its untouched natural beauty represented the country’s ‘soul’ and could be used to showcase Canada. This was the primary reason the National Park program began.

In time, more parks were created and activities such as camping, hiking and canoeing became synonymous with Canada’s parks.

People loved them and came from all over the world. However, infrastructures to support the cars, campers, food and waste

Right, Éric Hébert-Daly, right, national executive director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, with Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists (MVFN) board member Iain Wilkes, in Almonte for MVFN’s Spring Gathering, inspired with his “Nurturing our National Nature” talk which focused on historical shifts in approach to conservation in Canada’s national parks. had to be created. Eventually we began to lose sight of the ecological values of our parks, and the wildlife that people were coming to see began to disappear.

CPAWS came into existence in 1963, to help monitor and save nature within the parks and to preserve it for future generations.

In the 1980s and 1990s CPAWS and local partners in Banff pushed hard to prevent Park encroachment by developers of the Banff town site. This led to a national panel on the ecological integrity of our national parks.

Scientists and conservationists recommended that ecological in-

tegrity become the first priority in park management and the National Parks Act was changed accordingly. Scientists were hired

by Parks Canada, and ecological monitoring and measurement became a reality.

However, looking forward, this priority is being challenged. Parks Canada has suffered massive cutbacks and as a result, ecological monitoring in Canadian parks is hard hit.

Developmental pressures in our parks are being felt again as illustrated by Hébert-Daly in a slide he showed of the Jasper Discovery Walk – a massive

glass-bottom platform, overhanging a cliff in Jasper National Park. The intent was to offer visitors an unobstructed view of wildlife, however, animals such as mountain goats will not migrate into areas with such overhangs.

Another challenge to ecological integrity in the national parks is that wildlife such as caribou or moose do not recognize park boundaries. Therefore, we need to protect not only what is inside the parks, but we need to consider the impact of development outside the parks as well. With a photo of Gros

Morne National Park as a backdrop, Hébert-Daly talked about the proposed oil fracking just 100 metres outside the park.

Clearly, we need buffer zones around the parks so the entire ecosystem will remain healthy and survive.

Shift to multilateralism in planning national parks The second big shift around conservation efforts was a shift from a unilateral approach in planning and decision-making to a multilateral one that includes all stakeholders. In the early 1900s the creation of na-

tional parks was done on a very ad-hoc basis.

Later, in the 1970s, a look at the ‘big picture’ led to plans to create national parks representing each of the 39 distinct ecoregions in Canada. Presently there are 42 national parks representing 26 eco-regions.

Also, in the past, local residents, including First Nations communities were ignored in the creation of our national parks. Hébert-Daly related a story from the 1970s, about a small Lutsel K’e Dene First NaSee MVFN page 38

Shift to focus on ecosystems in national parks In the past, efforts were made to pro-

is becoming increasingly diverse, with immigrants arriving from places which did not offer experiences of wilderness such as are found in our National Parks.

Canada is fortunately taking interesting approaches to ensuring that everyone can get ‘back to nature’.

This includes creating some ‘island’ parks again which are not connected to others, but which will nevertheless serve a vital purpose. Rouge National Urban Park, in the middle of Toronto, is a new park which will be Canada’s first

national urban park. It cannot be held to the same ecological standards as other national parks, but it will be of great value in providing access to nature for the huge population at its doorstep.

Hébert-Daly concluded by acknowledging we have established some amazing protected areas in Canada over the last 127 years. However, we will need constant vigilance in the future to establish and maintain the ecological integrity of our parklands and waters. We cannot act unilaterally to protect places without

inhibiting our future success. We are all inter-connected with our natural environments, and our public natural areas need to be planned and managed at a broader scale than in the past.

The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists natural history lectures will resume with a new series beginning in September. Details will be released to the media in early September and posted at mvfn. ca.

tion community on the East Arm of Great Slave Lake accessible only by boat or plane. Officials from Ottawa made an unannounced visit to inform the community of plans to develop a national park there. They were listened to and then escorted back to their plane. From then on Hébert-Daly said, to the people of that First Nation community, the word ‘park’ became a ‘four-letter’ word, as the community feared for their land rights and the conversion of their home lands into a public campground. The approach to conservation at that time was clearly unilateral and many ‘bridges were burned’.

In more recent years, consultations have involved everyone who will potentially be impacted. For example, the same Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation community is now in negotiation with Parks Canada to create a national park where residents will be the interpreters of their own land and will lead the eco-tourism initiatives.

A new 30,000 square kilometre park to be named Thaidene Nene (Land of the Ancestors) is to be announced soon. It will be a fully co-managed national park and an economic model for future generations.

tect natural areas on their own. However, there needs to be interconnectivity between protected wild spaces to maintain the ecological integrity of entire ecosystems. Creating a Caribou Recovery Strategy, for example, is a good first step in caring for the species, but we need to take care of much more to maintain traditional migration routes of these animals, to permit adequate mixing of individuals within the different geographic populations, and to ensure forestry and logging operations do not negatively affect the herds. We need to look at the bigger picture, says Hébert-Daly. Land-use planning, which some may find ‘boring’ is a critical tool for carefully examining the potential of the landscape as a whole, with all relevant players at the table deciding on the best possible use of land.

We also need to re-examine what we value in our culture and how to pass this on to the future. We tend not to attribute an economic value to two of our most important resources: clean water and air – the very things that keep us alive and healthy.

CPAWS is supporting David Suzuki and his 30 x 30 Nature Challenge for Canadians to get outside in nature for 30 minutes for 30 days in May. This is increasingly important when approximately 80 per cent of Canada’s population live in the cities. Not only that, Hébert-Daly pointed out, our population

Grand Prix Race Weekend September 6–8, 2013

Federal government highlights continued support for small businesses surance (EI) premiums by crediting up to $1,000 on their payroll account. As of Aug. 2, more than $209 million has been credited to over 549,000 eligible employers.

“Our government is continually working to improve business conditions in Canada, and one of the ways to do this is by keeping taxes low for jobcreating businesses,” said Braid. “Measures like the Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit and the Hiring Credit for Small Businesses help reduce the tax burden on employers and make it easier for companies to grow. In an uncertain global economy, our government’s tax initiatives for jobs and growth is working and serving Canadians well.”

This tax relief builds on the support provided to apprentices through the Apprentice Incentive Grant provided in budget 2006 and the Apprenticeship Completion Grant, which was introduced in budget 2009.

The Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) program is a federal tax incentive program administered by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) that encourages Canadian businesses of all sizes and in all sectors to conduct research and development in Canada.

The SR&ED program allows Canadian-controlled private corporations, to earn a refundable Investment Tax Credit (ITC) of 35 per cent on up to $3 million in qualified SR&ED expenditures for SR&ED carried out in Canada. The ITC is fully refundable on qualified SR&ED current expenditures and 40 per cent refundable on qualified SR&ED capital expenditures.

For more on the Hiring Credit for Small Business, go to www.cra.gc.ca/ hiringcredit. Additional information on the Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit, and other investment tax credits can be found at: www.cra.gc.ca/smallbusiness and select “Investment Tax Credit.”

News – The Honourable Kerry-Lynne D. Findlay, P.C., Q.C., M.P., Minister of National Revenue, and Peter Braid, Member of Parliament for Kitchener, participated in an event and roundtable discussion Aug. 28 in Kitchener with high-tech industry business owners at Communitech Hub to highlight the important tax relief and other measures available to Canadian small businesses.

These incentives help small businesses across Canada to create jobs and economic growth.

The Apprenticeship Job Creation Tax Credit (AJCTC) is one of the Harper Government’s key measures aimed at providing support to Canadians, including programs and services for those entering the labour market and those looking to upgrade their skills and training. The AJCTC provides businesses a maximum credit of $2,000 per year for the first two-year term of hire for each eligible apprentice.

The government also recognizes the importance of supporting the job creation capacity of small businesses by giving them additional incentives to hire new apprentices in eligible trades. As of Oct. 1, 2012, approximately 13,250 employers used the credit to deduct more than $108 million on their income tax returns for the last tax year.

“Our government has made real progress in offering tax relief measures that support a more skilled and educated workforce. These initiatives are helping Canada build a strong foundation for future economic growth and job creation,” said Minister Findlay. “Through tax relief measures, grants and support for training programs, we are encouraging apprenticeships and careers in the skilled trades.”

Economic Action Plan 2011 introduced the Hiring Credit for Small Business (HCSB). The HCSB stimulates new employment and supports small businesses, while providing relief from the employer’s share of employment in-

Lifestyle – Jean-Claude and Lucille Marcoux of Mt-St-Hilaire, Quebec, are the proud owners of a spectacular piece of automotive history, a 1954 Nash Ambassador Custom Country Club Airflyte two-door hardtop.

This turquoise beauty was built in the Nash factory in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and purchased new by a couple in Kamloops, British Columbia. It was the only car they ever owned! The husband died ten years before his wife, who stored the car till she passed away at age 84. Their family sold the car to an elderly man in Vancouver, who soon fell ill and decided to sell the car.

Jean-Claude tells the story: “A man living near Hull, Quebec, across the river from Ottawa, bought the car sight unseen and had it shipped by rail in November 2002. We went there to look at a Studebaker Avanti he had for sale, but when my wife and I saw the Nash we just fell in love with her. It didn’t hurt that Italian designer Sergio Pinin Farina had something to do with her special beauty. Lucille has baptized her ‘Palazzo’ in keeping with her Italian-inspired design.”

“We wrote the man a cheque, and were soon on the road heading east.

The ride was fantastic – quiet, smooth, and powerful. On that day, I drove her through the 38,000 mile mark. Our Nash was brought to a good mechanic who took her through a complete inspection, tune-up, and minor repairs.

He discovered that our new antique was not equipped with fuses but had breakers! Just like in a house…imagine! In 1954! Then our beauty got a brand new paint job. She still had her original turquoise paint that needed some ‘freshin’ up.’ Also, the back bumper was re-chromed. The interior is original except for the front seat recovered with material shipped from Oregon.”

“During the last ten years, we’ve been travelling all around Quebec, accumulating thumbs-up and trophies, oftentimes also in the US, even winning First in Class in the 2007 Nashional held in Boston (also featured in Collectible Automobile magazine as part of their coverage of Nash). She’s a knockout and people just love her! I can’t tell you how many people approached us asking if she was for sale (she’s not!).”

Acoustic Blue Monday sees Vancouver duo rock The Cove Inn Arts – The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer from Vancouver, made up of musicians Shawn Hall and Matt Rogers – one of the hottest blues duos in Canada these days – delivered a fabulous show Aug. 26 at Acoustic Blue Monday (ABM) at The Cove Inn, Westport.

Coming off a dynamite performance at the Limestone City Blues Festival in Kingston Saturday night, Aug. 24, in front of thousands of people they brought the same great repertoire and energy to the intimate setting of The Cove. The audience absolutely loved them. In fact, one table last night came up from Kingston to catch them again after seeing them for the first time Saturday night.

It was not a full house though, unfortunately – about 75 per cent – a bigger crowd than the two previous ABM shows at The Cove this summer but still disappointing for promoter James Doran of Choose

The Blues Productions who puts on these shows.

“Look at the quality of artists that we have brought in for this series – some of the best in the country,” he said. “And consider that guests get a sumptuous Cove buffet dinner along with the terrific entertainment – plus some great door prizes – all for only $45! You can spend that much on dinner alone in many restaurants. I just can’t understand why we aren’t sold out for every show. Hopefully we’ll get a big turnout for the last show of the season with Suzie Vinnick to help decide whether we will do this series again next summer or not. I would hate to have to end it but it’s use it or lose it.”

Those who did attend weren’t disappointed. “Great music; a wonderSubmitted photo ful evening,” said first-time attendee The latest Acoustic Blue Monday was held at The musicians Shawn Hall and Matt Rogers. Above, show Sarah Dowswell of Ottawa.

A total of $380 was raised for the Westport Heritage Festival Aug. 24 bringing the total raised for Westport arts groups this summer to just under $1,000.

The next (and final) show of Acoustic Blue Monday at The Cove for this season is Sept. 16 when Suzie Vinnick, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweetheart of the blues will perform. She is a Juno Award nominee and six-time winner of the Maple Blues Award for Best Female Vocalist. Dinner and the show is $45 and advance reservations are required. Call The Cove at 613-273-3636.

Acoustic Blue Mondays is a dinner and show fundraiser series featuring some of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best blues artists with proceeds going to support different Westport arts organizations.

St. James of Jerusalem Anglican Church in Jellyby bids farewell Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a church in the valley by the wildwood, No lovelier spot in the dale; No place is so dear to my childhood, As the little brown church in the vale.

The words of this old familiar hymn come to mind when one envisions St. James of Jerusalem Anglican Church, Jellyby, located on Concession Nine, ElizabethtownKitley. This despite the fact that the church in question is a beautiful red and yellow

brick house of worship having â&#x20AC;&#x153; a central tower with a soaring spire and adorned with pointed windowsâ&#x20AC;? and features an exterior painted clock face on the tower, possibly intended to remind people of the service time and may, in fact, have been intended to

be replaced, in time, with an actual clock.

The simple interior with its stunning stained glass window above the communion table features Christ crucified with a medieval knight kneeling at the foot of the cross. This window was a gift of friends in England of the Rev. John Stannage, clergyman in charge of the Mission of North Augusta at this time.

As well, while not located in a vale, but rather amid flat farmland, the sentiment of the hymn is undoubtedly accurate to all those for whom this church has been dear throughout their lifetime.

After families, such as the Jelly family, arrived in Canada from Northern Ireland, via United States, and after worshiping in nearby North Augusta for a time, a decision was made on Dec. 1, 1863 to make their dream a reality and build their own neighbourhood church with Mr. John Jelly, Esq. and Mr. Joseph Godkin â&#x20AC;&#x153;appointed church wardens of the intended churchâ&#x20AC;?. The location was considered ideal with it being so close to Jellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Station, on the Ottawa and Brockville Railway.

Under the guidance of the Rev. John Stannage, on a site

given by Mr. John Jelly, with an acre of land set aside for a graveyard and with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;very liberal subscriptionâ&#x20AC;? from John Jelly, the church of St. James, Jellyby was built.

From The Canadian Churchman dated Jan. 18, 1865 issue: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A new church to be called St. James was opened for divine service on New Years Day, on the Tenth Line of Elizabethtown. The mercury was down to zero, that is 32 degrees of frost, but this did not hinder an immense concourse of people from assembling from all See CHURCH page 45

After close to 150 years, St. James of Jerusalem, Jellyby held its final service on Sunday, Aug. 18.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Easyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;simpleâ&#x20AC;? decisions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always add up to the right financial/estate planning answers. Here are a few â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I canâ&#x20AC;? decisions to consider just a bit more carefully.

I will add an adult child as the joint owner of my investments or property because it will make the distribution of my estate easier.

While there are certain situations in which joint ownership of assets can be a sound strategy, you need to look at it from many angles: â&#x20AC;˘ Are you willing to give up control of the asset(s)? â&#x20AC;˘ If your child separates or divorces, do you want the asset(s) potentially divided between your child and an ex-spouse? â&#x20AC;˘ What happens if your child goes bankrupt? â&#x20AC;˘ Are you okay with disinheriting the children of your child, if your child dies shortly before you do? â&#x20AC;˘ Do you intend that your joint owner should share the asset(s) with other beneficiaries (including your other children) in your will or has no obligation to share?

If the joint ownership contract between you and your child is not explicitly worded, it could lead to expensive sibling infighting that could eat up the assets.

Why go to the expense of retaining a lawyer when all I need is a Will Kit? For starters, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have

Manage Your Money access to expert advice about whether your clause selections are appropriate to your situation.

A simple â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitâ&#x20AC;? program wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask key questions about your family and estate structure, such as: â&#x20AC;˘ Is yours is a blended family?

If so, you could inadvertently disinherit children from a previous relationship â&#x20AC;˘ Is a beneficiary disabled? If so, it is usually advantageous to establish a discretionary trust in your will to protect that beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to receive social assistance payments. If the beneficiary is mentally disabled, then a trust will also allow you to choose someone to manage the beneficiaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inheritance. â&#x20AC;˘ Is the charitable organization you wish to leave your estate to properly registered with the CRA as a charity? If it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a tax credit.

Nor will a â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitâ&#x20AC;? program provide tax advice or assess the different tax liabilities each beneficiary could face, leading to an inequitable distribution of your estate. In addition, when a lawyer prepares your will, the lawyer has certain obligations under the law to make a basic assessment of your capacity, which could become important evidence later on, if some family members want to challenge your

will.

I will give significant sums of money to family members during my lifetime. Whether the money is â&#x20AC;&#x153;giftedâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;loanedâ&#x20AC;? to your children for whatever reason, without the proper advice and direction, there could be a minefield of problems down the road. For example, if the arrangement isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t properly documented, it could be argued that it was, indeed, a loan or may result in one child receiving a significant gift during your lifetime that unfairly reduces anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inheritance.

What you should or shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do in situations like these isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always clear. Your legal and professional advisors can bring clarity you need to every aspect of your financial life.

parts of this and the adjoining townships, thus showing the interest they take in the work of God’s Church. The building will accommodate only 200, but 300 at least crowded into it on this occasion, many standing and filling the aisles and the porch, and the old school house nearby had to be warmed to receive those that could not find entrance into the church and who, otherwise, would have been frost bitten.”

Another interesting point from this same issue recounts “Cold as the day was, one of the North Augusta choir took the harmonium from that church in his sleigh, over the snow banks, for the pleasure of helping the music in the new church on that occasion, and for that purpose he had to travel eighteen miles, while Miss [Eliza Ann] Checkly, a young lady of 12, who played the harmonium at North Augusta, was only too happy to do the same at the opening of the new church. Let us hope and pray that this Church may be the means of propagating and keeping up the truth of God’s Pure Word in this place to the latest generation.”

And with the dedication, faithful efforts and Christian devotion of those early families - with family names of Gilpin, Berry, Walsh, Pritchard, Moorehouse, Jelly, McLean, Steacy, Greaves, Cosgrove, Bell, Godkin, Tackaberry, Colborne, Chamney, Connor, Langtry, Sutton, Stinson, Davis, Rowsome, Quinn and Payne and the many, many later families - “the little brick church in the glen” lived on serving the community as a place of worship, a place for baptisms, marriages, celebrations of special church events as well as funerals for 150 years.

And now we arrive at the year 2013 and reality is dictating changes in the way we worship, the places in which we worship and the number of Submitted photo places that can be sustained in a twenty-first century world. With Above, one of the intricate stained glass windows featured that same trust that was present at St. James of Jerusalem.

in 1864, albeit with a somewhat different sentiment, we must look to the future remembering the words of the prophet Jeremiah, “ ‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord. ‘plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”

In the Sportsman portion of the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Triple Crown Shane Pecore and Doug O’Blenis started on the front row with O’Blenis getting the early lead into turn one. O’Blenis would lead the opening four laps until defending track champion Chris Herbison took control of the race and would open up a full straightaway by lap 10.

On lap 13 Tristan Draper spun off turn three bringing out the yellow. When the green flew Herbison was able to keep the top spot but Jon Mills, Dylan Evoy, Shane Pecore and Ryan Poole were starting to make a run. Mills was fresh off a win last week and was working on Herbison but the defending track champion stepped up the pace and pulled away from Mills by the halfway point.

With Herbison well out in front of the field the best battle on the race track was for the second spot as Dylan Evoy tried several attempts to get by Mills as they put on a great side by side battle over the next 10 laps. On lap 28 Tristan Draper spun in turn two. On the restart Herbison had clearly the fastest car on the racetrack as he pulled away from the field with Mills, Evoy, Shane Pecore and Steve Barber charging hard in the top five.

Chris Herbison has had a season of struggles but he put it all together on this night scoring his second win of the season and in the process wrapped up the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet Sportsman Triple Crown.

Jonathan Ferguson rounded out the top five.

The Rookie Sportsman were set to close out their season as Scott McGill and Riley Gill led the field into turn one with Gill taking the top spot away. Gill has been turning heads as of late and fresh off a Rookie Sportsman win the night before at Can Am was looking to

On lap six the yellow flew for Jamie Young who spun after contact with Richard Raison. On the restart Gill continued to lead but Jasmine David was starting to put the pressure on. David made several attempts at the lead as the laps wound down but Gill was able to hold off all challenges. On lap 11 however Gill’s great run came to an end as he slid off turn 2 handing the lead to Jasmine David.

From there on it was no contest as Jasmine David closed out a great rookie season by taking her second win of the year by a full straightaway. Richard Raison came home second with Chris Bakker finishing third and in the process claimed the Rookie Sportsman title.

Scott McGill and Riley Gill rounded out the top five.

The top two raced nose to tail through the final four laps but Pascal Racette was not to be denied as he scored his second win of the year over Fetterly who secured his fourth straight track title. Travis Andrews, John Gifford, and Darrick Eaton rounded out the top five.

The ever-exciting Rookie division was set to go and Randy Massey wasted no time jumping out into the lead over pole sitter Cody McEroy. Massey would hold the top spot until lap three when Marc Matthais brought out the yellow after a spin in turn three. On the restart Joe McNichols was able to work through traffic and take the lead away but points leader Quincy Roberts was right behind him in the second spot. The top had a great battle for the lead battling in and out of traffic all race long.

In the end it was McNichols out last Roberts for his third win of the year with Roberts coming home second and claiming his first Rookie track title.

Sykes was on rails in the opening laps as he held a six-car length lead working the outside lane to perfection until the first caution flew on lap 12 for defending track champion Kyle Dingwall spun in turn four.

When the green flew Sykes continued his great run with Danny O’Brien, Brian McDonald, Pat O’Brien and Jason Riddell making up the top five. Danny O’Brien was in pursuit of the lead on lap 20 as Sykes began to enter into lapped traffic. Five laps later, Danny used a slick move in turn three to take away the spot using the bottom side of the speedway. On lap 28 the yellow flew for Luke Stewart who slowed with a flat tire.

On the restart Danny took command of the lead but behind him Lee Gill was having quite an adventure. After a near flip in his heat put him 15th on the starting grid Gill tried at will to keep pace with his championship rival. After surviving contact with the wall and dodging several race cars along the way Gill was able to break into the top five by lap 30. On lap 36 the yellow flew again for Joe Banks who spun off turns one and two.

When the green flew Danny had the fastest car on the track and despite two late race cautions he would cruise on the his sixth win of the year and clinch the Ogilvie’s Auto and Fleet 358 Modified Triple Crown with older brother Pat coming home second. Lee Gill came home third sealing up his fifth career

One long car chase makes for one long, boring movie told his wife dies. The Voice then directs Brent to a parking garage where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s told to steal a Ford Shelby GT500 Super Snake.

The car has been armoured and cameras have been placed all over it so The Voice can see everything Brent does.

Brent steals the car, and is soon ordered to create havoc on the streets. Brent, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ex-professional race car driver, does what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s told hoping The Voice will free his wife.

The night is chaos, but it still gets worse when The Kid (Selena Gomez) tries to steal her car back. She comes for it when a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;police officerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If your movie is going to be one long car chase youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better have a Blues Brother behind the wheel.

Sadly Getaway does not.

Brent Magna finds his home trashed and his wife, Leanne (Rebecca Budig) missing. The next instant he gets a call. The Voice (Jon Voight) on the other end says if Brent doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

tips her off, but she only gets entangled in the same mess Brentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in. For some reason The Voice wants her along.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bigger plan afoot, and if Brent and The Kid canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure it out no one is going to survive.

Getaway isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a bad movie, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a boring movie which to me is a much larger offence. A movie can be many

things, but it should never be boring. How boring is it?

Well in one of the many chase scenes the director decides to shoot it from the perspective of a camera on the hood of Brentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car. So all you see is the hood of Brentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car chasing the tail gate of the bad guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car.

It goes on so long I began to think Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez had quit, and this was the only way the director could finish the film.

Frankly the rest of the film

isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much better. To be sure a lot of cars get wrecked, but it just goes on and on and on and it never seems to go anywhere.

They could have done more with the main characters to make the film interesting, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bother to name two of the four.

As far as casts go Voight and Budig are barely worth mentioning as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re barely in the film. I thought putting Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez in the close quarters

of a fast car and a tense situation might be interesting. I was wrong. They play stock characters and give stock performances. Gomez manages to look the part of the bratty rich kid, and Hawke manages to look like he knows how to drive, and that is about it.

If you need to see a film with one long car chase, get a copy of The Blues Brothers because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you wreck a bunch of cars.

Children’s entertainers team up New trapping program to provide with conservationist for new album recreational and outdoor benefits to youth Arts – Award-winning Canadian children’s entertainers and stars of Treehouse TV, Splash’N Boots, along with leading Ottawa-based conservationist, Little Ray (director of eastern Ontario’s largest exotic animal rescue, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo), have teamed up to bring you a brand new album, “Keepin’ It Green”.

Dedicated to conservation, the new album will feature 10 original Splash’N Boots songs that will keep kids of all ages dancing to its infectious melodies, all while educating listeners about a variety of endangered species found across Canada.

Available Aug. 30 at Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo locations across Canada and at www. splashnboots.com, a portion of all proceeds from “Keepin’ It Green” will help support conservation initiatives in your community.

“We are so excited about this collaboration with Little Ray,” says Nick Adams, the group’s ‘Splash’. His partner, Perth native, Taes Leavitt is ‘Boots.’

“Conservation is an important topic today, so we are happy to help educate our fans through our music.”

“This Splash’N Boots album is a great vehicle to further educate kids and parents alike about endangered species and conser-

vation,” says Paul “Little Ray” Goulet, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo’s director. “We are thrilled that visitors at our zoo will be able to listen to this album at home and continue learning after leaving our facility.”

Based in Ottawa and founded in 1995 by husband and wife team Sheri and Paul Goulet, along with the addition of the zoo’s curator, Matthew Korhonen, in 2000, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo is proud to have the largest and most diverse animal education outreach program the country has to offer. Annually, they tour coast to coast, from Newfoundland to British Columbia, presenting and performing at museums, fairs, festivals, schools, and more.

Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo is partners with the SPCA and Humane Societies across Canada, as well as provincial and federal authorities for the placement of unwanted and confiscated reptiles and amphibians.

Crowned Canadian Children’s Group of the Year at the 2012 SiriusXM Indie Awards and with several music videos on heavy rotation across the country on Treehouse TV, Splash’N Boots have seven CDs and two full-length DVDs under their belts, as well as more than 1,500 international festival and theatre performanc-

es. Never showing any signs of slowing down, the breakthrough duo recently released their sixth album, “Coconuts Don’t Fall Far From the Tree” which shot up to number one on Bandcamp in its first week.

In the fall of 2011, the cuttingedge duo sold-out 2,000 seat theatres in 11 cities across Canada with Treehouse LIVE for the Roll Play Live Animal Party tour – based on Treehouse TV’s award-winning show Roll Play.

Subsequently, the breakout pair landed an additional four music videos as well as four half hour episodes of Roll Play that aired nationally in the summer of 2013 on the popular children’s network.

Splash’N Boots are constantly connected to their fans via social media channels. With a growing following on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, the two have a lot in store for 2013, including several more Kitchen Jam appearances at Sick Kids Hospital; an organization they continually support, recently donating $1,000 after selling their first 1,000 copies of their “Back in Yellow” CD. For more information on Splash’N Boots or Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo please visit www. splashnboots.com and raysreptiles.com.

News – The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) and the Ontario Fur Managers Federation (OFMF) congratulate the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) for introducing a youth trapping program in the province. The announcement was made at the OFMF annual general meeting held in Napanee over the Sept.

24-25 weekend.

“Trapping is a heritage activity and by providing an opportunity for youth to be involved, it will enhance their appreciation for the outdoors and instill a lifelong dedication to conservation,” said OFAH executive director Angelo Lombardo.

“The OFAH is pleased that the MNR recognizes that a youth trapping program will not only provide recreational and outdoor benefits, but also pass along knowledge of an activity that is part of the cultural fabric of Canada.”

Beginning this fall, youth between the ages of 12 to 15 will be eligible to obtain a trapping license. The license

will permit youth to possess, prepare and sell pelts commercially. To qualify, youth must successfully complete the Fur Harvest, Fur Management and Conservation Course (FHFMCC) and be accompanied by a licensed trapper 18 years of age or older. The FHFMCC provides training with an emphasis on safety, humane trapping techniques and sustainable wildlife management practices.

“The Ontario Fur Managers Federation has worked closely with the MNR to make this program a reality, and we are delighted that the government has agreed to move forward on this vital and timely initiative.

The introduction of a youth trapping program will allow us to teach young people about the rich history associated with trapping in Ontario, and ensure that future generations understand the key role that trapping and trappers play in terms of conservation, sustainability, wildlife management, protection of crops and livestock

and public safety,” said OFMF president Karl Lindstrom.

“Trapping is considered an activity of significant historical, social, cultural and economic value in Ontario for centuries, and one that results in economic benefits to the communities and individuals.

Ontario trappers have worked tirelessly for many years towards a program like this which will guide youth to be safe and responsible trappers,” said Minister of Natural Resources David Orazietti.

For more information, including how to apply, visit www.mnr.gov.on.ca or www. furmanagers.com.

The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters is Ontario’s largest, non-profit, fish and wildlife conservation-based organization, representing 100,000 members, subscribers and supporters, and 710 member clubs. To learn more, visit www.ofah.org.

OPP: Many off-road deaths attributed to impaired driving and no helmet News – Two recent fatal off-road vehicle (ORV) incidents in one day and a spike in preventable ORV fatalities have the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) issuing an important reminder about the dangers of riding impaired and not wearing a helmet.

On Aug. 12, the OPP investigated two separate fatal incidents involving ORVs, bringing the total number of lives lost in OPP investigated ORV incidents to nine for 2013.

According to the OPP, the two most common factors noted in 2013 fatal ORV investigations are not new to collision investigators. Of the nine fatalities this year, alcohol consumption was a factor in five of the incidents and six of the nine victims were not wearing a helmet.

The OPP is issuing an important reminder to all off-road vehicle riders to take the following important safety measures in order to make it home alive and well after a safe and enjoyable riding experience: • Always wear a comfortable, well-

fitted and fastened approved helmet • Never drink and ride • Take a safety course and get to know your equipment • Stay in control and ride within your skill level • Know your responsibilities wherever you ride • Let someone know your trip or activity plans More detailed information about best practices for off-road vehicles and the related laws in Ontario are available through the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) at the following at: www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/ pubs/atv/.

The OPP would like to encourage everyone to be a GOOD rider: • Get a helmet on • Operate within your skill level • Obey the laws • Don’t drink and ride Submitted by the Ontario Provincial Police.
