Fundraising dinner invites guests to pack their bags for the city

Commuter train issue comes back to council Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

Representatives of a commuter train company will be asking Smiths Falls council to provide them with a letter of support at a future council session.

“I’m sure it’s going to be coming up shortly,” said Coun. John Maloney.

Lorraine Allen continues to remain in contact with the commuter train company since their initial meeting in Smiths Falls in 2011, and recently invited Maloney to

attend an Aug. 5 meeting with representatives of Mobility Ottawa-Outaouais: Systems and Enterprises (mOOse) Inc. “It’s was a great meeting,” Maloney said, adding.

“They’re just in their infancy.”

The project’s scope would include commuter lines running from Smiths Falls, Arnprior, Bristol, Quebec, Montebello, Quebec; Alexandria and all point in between. This includes significantly im-

The Susan Shirley Program (SSP) invites the community to come out and share An Evening Under the City Lights with them Sept. 26 at the Ivy on William.

The event will run from 7 to 10 p.m. at 42 William St. W. in Smiths Falls, during which time hosts will ask guests to travel with them to six world-wide cities through the five senses.

The big city theme will be carried out in décor, as well as in the plated meal that will be served that evening. Each dish served will be based on the culinary culture of Paris, London, Istanbul or New York to name a few.

“We just thought it’s a fun way to add some excitement,” said Nicole Anderson, executive director of SSP. Anderson said they decided to go with An Evening Under the City Lights theme due to the large amount of city décor they were seeing through their store, Duchess Boutique

on Main Street. Duchess Boutique serves as a stable revenue stream for the SSP. It also provides job training for program participants. Some of the décor items available at the boutique will be on display during the dinner to wet the appetite of future customers.

This is the first time the SSP has held a dinner fundraiser. They decided to expand on their dessert fundraiser of previous years to accommodate the growing draw the fundraiser enjoyed.

In addition to a delicious meal, the Sept. 26 evening will host an art auction with 12 pieces of art available. The works will come from a variety of sources including local artists and store suppliers.

The upcoming dinner is one of two large fundraisers the SSP holds each year with all proceeds going to operational costs. These are substantial since SSP is staffed 24 hours a day.

One Book One Community program comes to Lanark County older community that is changing the culture of the region. While relevant to everyone, this topic has not been the focus of a major initiative countywide to discuss the possibilities and implications of aging in our region.

The One Book program offers an opportunity to create dialogue and potentially spur action on how to embrace and respond to this demographic shift.

The CEO of Mississippi Mills Public Library, Pam Harris, noted, “The wonder of books is how they bring people and communities together. All of us are excited about our upcoming events especially that we are able to host our author, Janet Hepburn, in both Mississippi Mills and Perth. I am also looking forward to our first Death Cafe event, which brings a different opportunity for us to talk about life, aging, and dying.”

Librarians in Lanark County are pleased to present the upcoming events for the 2015 One Book, One Community program – a libraryinitiated project that encourages all residents to come together through the shared experience of reading the same book and attending various events within their communities.

Information on the chosen book for the 2015 program, Flee, Fly, Flown by Janet Hepburn, as well as event information is available at the One Book, One Community website: www.onebooklanark.webs.com.

Through this experience, the community will be able to explore a topic in a variety of venues, creating conversations about important and complex issues. The One Book program offers its first set of events starting in September 2015.

“Our libraries are delighted to be partnering to provide a great selection of events for our first One Book, One Community program”, said Erika Heesen, CEO of the Perth Union Library. “We’re looking forward to creating a community conversation about the book Flee, Fly, Flown and the theme of aging.”

This year’s novel Flee, Fly, Flown is an adventure of Lillian and Audrey who plot to escape from Tranquil Meadows Nursing Home, “borrow” a car, and spend their hastily planned vacation time driving west, unaware of the challenges they will face. All they know is that the warm days of August call to them, along with the need to escape the daily routines and humiliations of a nursing home life that has become overwhelming. The duo set out on their journey, having forgotten that their memory problems might make driving and following directions difficult.

During their trip they meet up with the unsuspecting Rayne, a young man also heading west in hope of reconciling with his family. As Lillian and Audrey try to take back the control that time and dementia has taken from them, Rayne realizes the truth of their situation. But it’s too late – he has fallen under the spell of these two funny, brave women and is willing to be a part of their adventure, wherever it leads them.

The 2015 theme, Aging, is a significant one for Lanark County, which has an aging population, as well as the population shift to an

Four-legged heroes coming to Brett Pearson Run for Your Life

They also have access to a vast network of medical and mental health care resources for diagnosis and

treatment of PTSD, as well as the latest research on effective treatment options, including Animal Assisted Intervention (AAI) program.

They offer continuous peer support throughout the PTSD Service Dog training program and beyond. Their service dog training/transition program is specifically tailored to immediately promote and enhance the overall wellbeing of individuals affected by PTSD by becoming active participants in the training process. This program helps PTSD survivors: manage and control emotions, focus attention, Improve social competence and social interactions, and promote an overall sense of wellbeing.

These service dogs are named in memory of those first responders and veterans who have lost the PTSD battle. The latest entrant into the canine service academy is Kal, named

in honour of Ottawa Police Service officer Kal Ghadban who took his life just a year ago. At this year’s Brett Pearson Run in Carleton Place, several of these service dogs will join in the event, with handlers available to explain the program and answer any questions.

Registration starts at 8 a.m. in beside the town hall on Mill Street, with guest speakers delivering remarks at 9 a.m., and the run/walk starts off at 10 a.m. with a parade down Bridge Street. Please join us as a participant, supporter, spectator, or just to learn more about these issues affecting our families, communities and country.

As the date for the fifth annual Brett Pearson Run for Your Life quickly approaches (Saturday, Sept. 26) the organizers are pleased and proud to announce that one of the great causes that will be supported by a portion of this year’s proceeds is i Run and Rock: United by Trauma. This run, supported by the Carleton Place Drug Strategy Committee continues to focus and foster community discussions on the topics of suicide and drug/substance abuse and misuse.

The run is more than just a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful trails and paths along the Mississippi River; it’s a gathering of neighbours, friends, and mental health and addictions professionals to shine a light on what are often dark and secret topics. Healthcare stakeholders will be in attendance with information booths and professionals ready to answer questions and provide information on local and regional resources.

Last year the Brett Pearson Run for Your Life’s organizers helped put the spotlight on the military and emergency responders and how PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is creating a real and lethal risk to these groups of selfless professionals. Various groups from police and military services, fire fighters, and paramedics attended in full force to help end the stigma.

United by Trauma is a notfor-profit organization created by first responders, military and medical professionals to assist their peers with PTSD education and outreach programs, including PTSD service dogs.

Ottawa Valley’s Terry Murray back in the NHL with the Buffalo Sabres The first game of a new National Hockey League season for the two teams brings together the The Ottawa Senators season two prides of Shawville, Sens opener Oct. 8 against the Buffalo general manager Bryan Murray Sabres will have a definite Valley and Sabres GM Tim Murray. flavour.

Adding to the Shawville con-

scottcampbell@metroland.com

nection will be the presence of Bryan’s brother and Tim’s uncle, Terry Murray, as assistant coach for Buffalo.

The teams capped their 201415 regular season on two very different notes. Ottawa made a

remarkable and historic run into the NHL playoffs and Buffalo played out their schedule in a lock for last place in the league.

Terry Murray’s hiring was made official on June 18. Head coach Dan Bylsma announced the appointments Dave Barr and Murray as his assistants.

“The Buffalo Sabres are one of the more exciting young teams in the league,” said Terry recently, as he prepared for a move to Buffalo.

“We’re in a phase of teaching, developing and winning. That’s a great challenge. It’s a place that I’ve been several times before with other teams and I really enjoy that process,” he said.

“Playing in Ottawa always adds a little something to the game, not so much because Bry-

an is involved with the Senators but because there’s family and friends at the game or watching, and this is where I played junior for three years with the Ottawa 67’s.”

Like Bryan, Terry is one of 10 children of Rhoda and Clarence Murray. He lived with his family on a farm for his first few years and eventually the move was made into Shawville to the house on King Street, which Clarence built himself. The street was also where Terry first encountered hockey.

“The first time I skated was on an outdoor rink in Selly Langford’s yard, at the end of King (Street),” Terry said. “All the kids that grew up in the end of town played hockey everyday on the rink; we’d have games with

15 players on each team, everybody playing at the same time, no system play, just having fun.”

Hockey wasn’t always the priority either. He played a lot of different sports growing up from basketball, fastpitch ball, track and field events at school to volleyball and some baseball.

Terry’s NHL career began as a player when the California Golden Seals drafted him and then he had stints with the Philadelphia Flyers and Washington Capitals.

“Today’s NHL is faster than it ever was,” said Terry. “Today’s athlete is better coached, has a greater understanding of nutrition, rehydration and of the offseason responsibilities.

“We had to work through the See MURRAY page 7

summers (and now) the players are focused on the game 24/7 and 365 days of the year. That all adds up to a better player and game.”

The Capitals was where he would begin his career behind the bench as he was hired as the assistant coach in 1983. He became the head coach for the team in 1989 and was also the bench boss with the Florida Panthers and the Flyers, when Philadelphia went to the Stanley Cup final in 1997.

“I’ve worked with Tim before, he was scouting with the Florida Panthers,” he said. “(Buffalo) is a whole new look, now that he’s the general manager.”

Terry was back with the Flyers as assistant coach for four seasons before being hired as head coach for the Los Angeles Kings in 2008. In his second year behind the Kings bench, the team clinched a playoff spot for the first time in eight years.

The Kings started the 2011-12 season slowly and the team soon decided on a different direction, which led to his early departure. Los Angeles barely made it into the 2012 playoffs but became the Stanley Cup champions.

The Kings gave credit to Terry’s influence on the team and the organization presented him with a Stanley Cup ring.

For the last two years, Terry has been the head coach for the Adirondack Phantoms in the American Hockey League. The team was rebranded as the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for the 201415 season.

“The two years in Glens Falls was a good experience,” he said. “Lots of hockey history with the AHL going

back to the late ‘70s and the Detroit Red Wings as the parent club. In fact they (Adirondock Red Wings) won the Calder Cup in 1991-92, when Bryan was the general manager of Detroit.

So a good core fan base, knowledgeable, they appreciated the work every game.”

Terry noted that the work load is quite different from the AHL to NHL. The travel to all AHL games is by bus and it’s a 76-game schedule, instead of the 82 matches in the NHL. The players are in the development stage of their careers, which means a bulk of them are on entry level contracts and any given night some may have a hard time finding that top-notch level of play.

“Consistency is what you strive for as a team, it’s a learned skill and that’s the purpose for the league. It’s to develop the player’s game so they can move to the NHL.” While Shawville will always be considered home, he has seen many different cities with wife, Linda and daughters Meaghan and Lindsey. Terry and Linda have had a home in Maine for many years.

Terry was always sure a life in pro hockey was what he wanted, but he did for a moment at least, consider a different road to take.

“There was a time when I thought about joining the RCMP after finishing junior hockey.”

Spanning an NHL and AHL career of over 40 years as player and coach, he is moving back to the big leagues with Buffalo.

Avoiding distractions

e don’t have an issue with the province’s recent introduction of stiffer penalties for distracted driving. As of last Tuesday, the set fine was increased to $490 (which includes victim surcharge and court costs), and novice drivers face a minimum 30-day licence suspension for the first conviction and a longer suspension for a subsequent conviction.

Research shows that a driver who uses a cell phone is four times more likely to be involved in a collision, according to a transportation ministry release. And as much as the focus appears to be on people who use their hand-held devices while driving, we know that distracted driving covers much bigger territory. Those of us who believe we can successfully wolf down a breakfast sandwich or sift through a pile of CDs on the passenger seat while sitting behind the wheel without it affecting our ability to pay attention to the road ahead might be kidding ourselves.

The bottom line is that having to cough up 500 bucks for being ticketed could lead some people to think twice about doing something that qualifies as distracted driving. If the increased penalty actually serves its purpose as a deterrent, then jacking up the fine might be a wise move on the part of the provincial government.

That stated, though, we make note of the fact that the price of a vehicle sticker renewal in Ontario has risen from $74 in Aug. 2012 to $108 as of Sept. 1. That’s 45 per cent in three years. Just because the fee had remained relatively stable for many years prior to a series of increases and there are still other provinces in which the charge is higher does not justify such a significant jump in what motorists in Ontario must pay. We would gladly accept paying our fair share to help maintain provincial infrastructure such as roads and bridges, but shelling out an extra $34 after only three years seems a bit steep.

Hankies and handkerchiefs each had their own stories

It seemed odd to me back then, that what Father stuffed in his overall pocket was called a handkerchief, but what Mother tucked in her purse, or my sister Audrey and I tied our money in its corner, was called a hanky. Even my older and much wiser sister had no explanation for the difference. “That’s just the way it is,” she’d say, when I asked her to explain it all to me.

Uncle Lou, when he came to visit, had spanking white handkerchiefs. Mother said they were pure linen, another sign of his wealth and importance, I thought. He had a stack of them in his suitcase, and if he stayed a spell, Mother washed and ironed them as if they were made of gold. He liked them folded a certain way, and

Mother made sure that was the way they were given back to him after the laundry was done on the Monday. And he used a clean one every day, which in itself set him apart from Father. Father was lucky if he got a clean handkerchief to take to church on Sunday!

And his were either red or blue patterned, made of thin cotton, and Father used them for everything from blowing his nose, to wiping off the windshield of the Model T, to cleaning his glasses when

he wore them, and even giving a swipe at the cow’s udder before milking. Yes, Father’s handkerchiefs had many uses.

Audrey and I had our own hankies, and we kept them in our drawer in the washstand in our bedroom. We didn’t have many, perhaps three or four.

And one was kept especially for tying whatever few coins we had into its corner. We laid the hanky out flat, put the coins in one corner, wrapped the corner over, and then tied it in a knot. Audrey’s were in one side of the drawer, and mine in another. The few others we had were taken to church, and only occasionally to school, and we carried them tucked under the wrist of the sleeve of whatever we happened to be wearing that day. If we had

short sleeves, then the hanky was tucked under the leg elastic of our underpants. There was no shame in hauling out our hankie from the leg of our bloomers in school hours, if we needed it!

Now, Mother’s hankies were a different story altogether. She hoarded the few she had brought from New York as if they were made of the finest linen. Some had her initial “M” embroidered in one corner, which I thought at the time was the height of elegance, and I suspected back then, were probably the only hankies of their kind in all of Northcote!

And Mother’s hankies had a special purpose too. Ladies carried their hankies in their purses, and every time Mother

left the house, a clean hanky was doused with cologne and tucked inside, and when she opened her purse to get out her change purse (women didn’t have wallets back then), the heavenly scent of her perfume would float out, filling the air around her. My brother Emerson hated the smell, and vowed Mother’s perfume laden hankies gave him a headache, but I often opened and closed Mother’s purse in rapid succession just to get a whiff.

Hankies were bought in fancy square boxes, folded so that the corners showed tiny embroidered flowers. These could be bought at Walker’s Store in Renfrew for 25 cents, which made them a perfect gift for the teacher at Christmas, or when school ended in June. I

was sure Miss Crosby had a stack of boxed hankies a mile high.

My brothers handkerchiefs were just like Father’s. Either dark blue or red. Emerson longed for handkerchiefs like Uncle Lou’s, as white as the driven snow, and crisp as paper. The year he got one for Christmas, he was so overjoyed, he went right to the phone, rang three longs and a short, and told his friend Leo Thom. Mother wouldn’t let him take it to school. He put it in his back pocket only on Sunday’s for church. I never once saw him blow his nose into it, but he would take it out in church and pat his forehead with it, and I’d watch his eyes See MARY page 9

Canada Homestay Network representative Nelson Williams provides helpful tips to Upper Canada District School Board international students to help ease their transition into Canadian society during an orientation session Sept. 2 at Brockville Collegiate Institute.

UCDSB interational student orientation prepares students for successful year Nearly 160 international students from across the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) learned about “Canadianisms” Sept. 2 from our madness for hockey to our use of the word “eh.”

The high school students, here to study through the UCDSB International Education Program, were introduced to Canadian culture through a seminar as part of International Student Orientation 2015-2016.

The 45-minute seminar, which took place at Brockville Collegiate Institute as part of the event, was designed to make the transition into Canadian society easier while studying in board schools.

The day, organized by the Upper Canada Leger Centre for Education and Training (UCLCET), attracted students from a range of countries such as China, Brazil, Japan, Germany, Mexico and Spain. They attended seminars about Canadian culture, school survival, and ways to enjoy a successful year with their host fami-

lies. A fourth seminar allowed centre, Canada Homestay Network, and board staff to learn students’ likes and dislikes so they can share them with their schools and host families.

“The kids were very engaged and you could tell from the questions they were asking, and the feedback we received, that the information was helpful and will be an important part of establishing a strong foothold for success in the coming year,” Matthew Raby, centre executive director, said of the orientation day.

The Canadian culture seminar was an important aspect of the event because it gave students a snapshot of what they can expect while here.

Delivered by Nelson Williams, of Canada Homestay Network, it covered a variety of topics ranging from Canadians’ approach to freedom to their unique adaptations of the English language.

He discussed words that identify Canadians to other nationalities, such as our prolific use of “eh” and our

Students were urged to sample foods traditionally associated with Canada such as Maple syrup, poutine and BeaverTails.

He discussed the importance of hockey to Canadian culture, but dispelled the myth that it was Canada’s national game, which is actually lacrosse.

“But don’t come to Canada and not see a hockey game,” he said.

He also recommended students get involved in school life through clubs, volunteering and sports to gain as many friends as possible to learn about the culture and make the most of their experience here. “Don’t think for a minute at the school that music, drama, and sports are just for the Canadian kids – they are for all Upper Canada students and you are now Upper Canada students,” he said.

ments, and report cards are anecdotal in nature with no specific grades. The curriculum is now structured as an integrated, whole-child approach to learning.

The key areas of the curriculum is divided into four frames for learning, which are designed to support planning instruction and assessment that aligns with how learning naturally occurs through play and inquiry.

The four frames include: belonging and contributing, self-regulation and well-being, literacy and mathematics behaviours, and problem solving and innovating.

“The new program supports the belief that learning happens in a relationship setting, when kids are partnered with other learners,” explained Lapierre.

“The new key areas of development are a really significant change – literacy and numeracy are not on the list, but these skills happen naturally when we lay the foundation for other skills.”

“It has indeed been an extremely busy year for our department,” noted Cauley.

“The schools look great, and we’ve worked to develop the designs and concepts with the Supervisory Officers, with the students’ priorities in mind.”

The largest project, a 12classroom addition at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place, includes renovation to the construction shop, an atrium with staff room, washrooms and service space.

The project is complete and will be ready for students for the new school year.

Interior renovations were completed at 11 sites, and six schools received ODA compliant upgrades to washroom facilities, and one elevator installation. In addition, an ODA audit was done at all facilities, and a report will be provided to the board at the end of September.

Additional projects were carried out in 42 schools under various government grant initiatives. These 127 upgrades include: painting, replacement of flooring and window coverings, asphalt and improved drainage upgrades, installation of portable classrooms, electrical upgrades, roofing and shingle replacement, renovations to secondary school hospitality suites, window replacement, door replacement, exterior facility and insulation upgrades, and HVAC and water system improvements.

Playground and gymnasium equipment was also inspected at all schools, and repairs and upgrades were undertaken during the summer months.

Capital projects, school renewal update Over the course of the last 12 months, 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, Roger Cauley, presented to the board an overview of the considerable number of projects which have been completed in 42 facilities including more than 5,000 work orders and 127 projects under School Renewal, School Condition Improvement, Capital, Ontarians Submitted by the Cathowith Disabilities Act (ODA) lic District School Board of and Energy Efficiency.

The following are highlights from the Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario’s (CDSBEO) regular board meeting held Sept. 1 at the CDSBEO head office in Kemptville.

The Ministry of Education has recently revised the Early Learning Program for Kindergarten students. The new program reflects the belief that four and five-year-olds are capable and active learners, full of potential and ready to take ownership of their learning. Based on self-directed learning with a child-centred approach, the new model encourages caring, play-based experiences that promote emotional, social, cognitive and physical development in an environment which is safe and comfortable for all children.

Christina Lapierre, Early Years curriculum consultant, provided the board with an overview of the new program and how it enhances learning for young students.

“The new program reflects a shift in thinking,” explained Lapierre.

“The curriculum is framed differently in that it allows the children to explore their interests and encourages learning based on their lead. This allows for more excitement in learning; more joy, more wonder, and more learning.”

Developed as a two-year program document which no longer identifies a junior and senior level curriculum, student report cards and evaluation will be standardized for all kindergarten learners across Ontario.

In addition, the overall expectations are no longer broken into subject areas; instead, learning expectations are evaluated through conceptual understanding state-

Traveling by train in the United Kingdom can have its pitfalls When we are making arrangements to travel overseas I am always reminded of the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to our many travel-related experiences.

Kathleen and I have been exceedingly fortunate. We have had mostly good travel experiences mixed with a few bad ones. Travel is never problem-free.

Ugly experiences have been few and far between and as we prepare to set off this year we are looking only at the positive and hoping to avoid the negative.

I have written in the past about rail travel in Europe. We’ve ridden the rails countless times in England, Scotland, Ireland (north and south) and Continental Europe, especially in Germany.

We’re amazed at the speed, efficiency and timeliness of European train travel.

Considering Canada has such a small passenger rail network the experience in Europe is just so much better. It seems to us that trains go virtually everywhere and the number of daily trips available to customers, especially to and from major centres, is impressive.

The locals, on the other hand, aren’t quite as enamored as us. First, they complain about the cost. It’s true that taking the train isn’t cheap.

Europeans also point to other concerns including the shrinking rail network. Some countries, including the United Kingdom, have seen service to many smaller communities suspended

ductor who is an Ottawa Senators’ fan.

We checked into a lovely hotel in Cambridge city centre, met our party and the four of us enjoyed a walking tour of the historic university campus and its precincts on a sunny, hot August afternoon.

That night we ate a leisurely meal at a restaurant Debra knew.

On the Sunday Kathy and I were scheduled to travel on to London to spend the final five days of our UK visit.

We always purchase rail passes through our travel agent at home.

I knew from experience that any track and rail infrastructure repairs and upgrades are done on Sundays, traditionally the lowest volume travel day.

I asked at Cambridge Station if there were any delays or problems expected and was reassured to hear nothing out of the ordinary was anticipated.

Famous last words as it turned out!

We caught a late morning train and learned it was the “milk run” which would stop in at least 15 places before arriving at busy King’s Cross Station in London. The fast train to London takes just 50 minutes. We would be traveling for more than 90.

We left on time and although the train called at various stations we seemed to be making fair progress. Until we neared Stansted Airport.

The airport, located in the County of Essex some 48 kilometres northeast of Central London, is third among the air-

ports which serve the sprawling British capital. Heathrow, west of downtown and Gatwick, south of London are much busier.

As we neared Stansted’s train station an announcement over the PA changed our entire day.

“This service will terminate at Stansted Airport. Buses will be laid on to take passengers into London,” the terse message said.

Kathy and I looked at each other.

“Oh no, we’re going to have to wait for buses to arrive. How long is that going to take?” I wondered aloud. The train was absolutely packed and we were all suddenly stranded, nearly 50 km short of our destination.

As we were herded off the train I overheard railway staff telling other passengers that maintenance work on the line had gone past the scheduled time, hence the termination of service.

It was a hot, humid day and we had no idea how long it would take for buses to arrive and take us into London. We weren’t even sure where we should go to wait.

Bus tickets I decided to be proactive.

Representing 72,000 retired public & private teachers, educational support staff, college & university faculty and support staff RTO/ERO is a non-partisan organization.

RTO/ERO and its members believe that the two most important issues facing all Canadians, and especially seniors, are healthcare and pensions.

Pensions

Healthcare RTO/ERO is seeking from the Federal Government and the provinces a commitment to a phased-in, managed approach to universal healthcare that combines prevention and remediation. This would include a campaign to encourage all Canadians to adopt healthier lifestyles, as well as a Pharmacare program that leaves the provinces responsible for the management of healthcare through an integrated, funded agreement between the provinces and the Federal Government.

RTO/ERO believes it is imperative that our political leaders address the absence of pension plans for 75% of private sector workers who constitute the majority of the workforce. The matter of assisting Canadians to plan for their retirement, and thus to be more self-reliant in their senior years, is an opportunity to raise the quality of life of Canadians.

RTO/ERO’s Recommendations

q That the Prime Minister con-

w

vene a meeting of Premiers and Provincial Finance Ministers to work out a time frame for a phasedin universal health care program, and that such a program include a cooperative Federal-Provincial Pharmacare Program.

That the Federal Government undertake an expansion of the CPP in conjunction with the Provinces and Territories to ensure that Canadians can continue to maintain a reasonable standard of living in their retirement years.

PM’s cash comment provides opponents with campaign ammo Jennifer Westendorp jwestendorp@perfprint.ca

Prime Minister Stephen Harper made a stop at Tim Hortons in Gananoque on Aug. 31.

He handed out free coffees with Leeds-Grenville MP Gord Brown, who was celebrating his 55th birthday that day, during the 20-minute visit.

At one point, while positioned behind the counter at Tim Hortons, Harper said, “Tell me what to do, but don’t let me handle

the cash.”

Various media outlets have since reported the PM was mocked for the comment.

The federal Liberal candidate for Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes, Mary Jean McFall, was quick to criticize the comment, issuing a campaign ad that same day.

The ad shows a video of Harper making the statement, followed by the words, “We agree.

Under Mr. Harper’s guidance, we are officially in a recession.”

In the video, she states, “My own view is central government has a role to play in being a steward of the economy and that is you have to step up and say, ‘We’ve got a problem here and we have to do something to address it.’

First up is a Fish Fry featuring Mundell’s fish, Hudson’s corn, coleslaw and homemade pie, at the church on Saturday, Sept. 12 from 4:30 to 7 p.m.

Tickets are $15 for adults, children 6 to 12 are $7, and those five and under get in free. There is a $40 family maximum.

MAGUIRE From page 11

While she guarded our luggage I literally sprinted for the bus terminal. Ahead of me were some other quick thinking train passengers. Behind us a long queue soon formed.

We were fortunate. I landed tickets for a coach that was leaving in 20 minutes.

“It cost us £24 (just over $58 CDN today). We shouldn’t have to pay more but I’m not standing on an airport tarmac for hours in the heat,” I said.

Right on time, off we went.

Admittedly we were packed into the bus like sardines, at the very back too and the air conditioning – if there was any – didn’t work. We were soon perspiring freely and very uncomfortable.

“At least we’re on the move,” I thought.

The bus made many stops and heated up to the point where I’m sure we could have fried eggs on our seats.

At each stop I also hopped off to make sure our cases didn’t dis-

St. Andrew’s United Church in Pakenham is also pleased to welcome The Valley Men, performing in a special concert in celebration of the church’s 175th anniversary. The Valley Men is an amateur male choir of about 20 to 24 members from the Ottawa area.

Each fall since 1994, they have gone on tour, performing mostly in small rural towns throughout the Maritimes, Quebec and Ontario. They perform

a varied repertoire of traditional songs, hymns, anthems and novelty numbers.

They sing because they enjoy it; raising funds for local charities is a pleasant spin-off. Do come and be entertained by this talented group.

The concert will be held on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m.

appear with a fellow passenger who, like us, was on the verge of heat stroke.

Eventually we ended up at a stop on busy Oxford Street in Central London. “Finally, light at the end of the tunnel,” I said to myself.

However, as he was helping passengers with their luggage the driver suddenly screamed in pain. He hobbled over to the giant vehicle and sat on the lowest step, cradling his head in his hands.

“What happened,” I asked.

“Wrenched my bloody back,” he spat from between clenched teeth.

The poor guy was in agony.

Somehow he managed to crawl into his seat and off we went. After what seemed an endless drive we made it to what I determined was our best port of call, Victoria Station. It was the nearest stop to our hotel.

Triumphantly I removed our suitcases and, soaked in sweat, we headed to the taxi rank. There was the usual London queue, but

eventually our turn came.

The cabbie was a lazy fellow who, instead of getting out and assisting with our bags, jerked a thumb toward the side door and made me put everything inside. I was major miffed.

A silent ride to the hotel followed. I made sure to count out the exact change to pay for the trip. The guy looked at me expectantly. Incredibly he was looking for a tip.

“Buddy, we just had a hell of a trip to London this afternoon and you wouldn’t get off your butt to help with our cases.

“No tip!”

I don’t think a hotel lobby, especially one as nicely air conditioned as that one, ever looked and felt so good.

After check-in we made a beeline for the bar. I don’t think the beer in my glass touched my lips.

I was that parched. A cold pint of lager never tasted so good!

Kubrick classics weekend at Station Theatre features 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Shining The Smiths Falls Station Theatre opens its Movie Nights 2015-16 season with two classic Stanley Kubrick films on Friday, Sept. 18 and Saturday, Sept. 19.

This exciting weekend film experience offers a chance to see two outstanding films by a master director in a theatre ideal for film-viewing. The Station Theatre has a state of the art 14-foot Panasonic screen that produces high definition picture quality with big surround sound.

The unique design of the auditorium ensures obstruction-free, comfortable viewing in a climate-controlled environment.

The opening night film – 2001: A Space Odyssey – is the runaway winner chosen by patrons in a recent poll. Produced and directed by Kubrick (the famous science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke co-wrote the screenplay), follows a voyage to Jupiter with a smart computer called Hal after the discovery of a mysterious black monolith affecting human evolution.

Years ahead of its time, the film has been universally cited for its scientifically accurate depiction of space flight and its pioneering special effects. It is regarded by film goers and critics as one of the best movies of all time.

This 1968 classic will be followed on Saturday by a rare screening of Kubrick’s famous The Shining (1980), a personal favourite of Robert Fontaine, CBC’s “All In A Day” film critic, who selected the film for your enjoyment. As a bonus, Robert will be in attendance to introduce The Shining and host a Q & A session to complete the evening. Listeners to his radio show know they are in for a very entertaining evening.

When The Shining was first seen by critics, most expected a standard fright fest based on a Stephen King

At STEO, student safety comes first. We ask drivers to be mindful of buses and of student pedestrians and to keep in mind the following safetyy tips p on the road.

We have free gifts and information for you.

Tickets for each of the Kubrick classics are $10 for adults, $5 for students (with ID), sold for cash only at the door. The movies start at 7:20 p.m.; the Station Theatre is located at 53 Victoria Ave. To help kick off its new film season, the Station Theatre will be offering a free Reward Card at the ticket wicket. When presented at the time of purchase, the Reward Card will be stamped by the ticket seller.

There is no expiration date, and when seven stamps are accumulated for seven purchased tickets, the next film is free. As a special bonus, patrons attending both Kubrick films will get a third Reward Card bonus stamp free – a great start towards a free movie later on.

We invite everyone to keep in touch with all our upcoming shows—like the “Tales and Tunes” show in our music series coming on Sept. 26 – by going to our website (www.smithsfallstheatre.com) or joining us on Facebook (Smiths Falls Community Theatre).

Welcome back to another exciting school year! The roads will soon be abuzz with school buses and the streets and sidewalks alive with eager students traveling to and from school.

best seller; what they got was a highly original film – starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duval – that has sparked speculation and discussion ever since.

It ranks as one the “must see” classics, a thrill for veteran film goers to see again and an opportunity for new generations of viewers to appreciate what all the buzz has been about.

Patrons who visited the National Art Gallery to see the Alex Colville Retrospective have a rare opportunity to test their memories and perceptive skills. Colville was a great admirer of Kubrick; and Kubrick was fascinated by Colville’s art.

The Shining actually incorporates four images – drawn from Colville’s work – that were on display at the gallery this summer. (Viewers should start looking carefully at 10:50 minutes into the film to see if they can pick out the famous Canadian artist’s “Woman and Terrier.”

Then at 14:31 minutes see if you can identify, in a key moment in the film in the family’s apartment, Colville’s famous “Horse and Train.”)

Agreement may see more Chinese students at UCDSB schools in future between the Centre, the UCDSB, and the Chinese school.

Chinese students choose the UCDSB because the Canadian education system is valued internationally, said Matthew Raby, UCLCET executive director.

“Students are choosing the UCDSB because of the quality reputation of Canadian public education, the safety of our local communities and because we have a well-deserved reputation for being a friendly and hospitable people,” said Raby following a signing ceremony at the board’s Brockville office. “That appeals to both students and parents.”

Local students will benefit through increased cultural diversity in board high schools, inspiring friendships between Canadian and Chinese students, he added.

The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) renewed an agreement with a public school in east-central China Tuesday, Sept. 1 allowing more Chinese high school students to study in Ontario while experiencing a quality education in UCDSB schools.

The five-year agreement with Zhengzhou School #9 will pave the way for Chinese students to study at UCDSB high schools in Grades 11 and 12 so they can learn English and obtain an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. This will help them qualify to attend post-secondary studies in Canada. About two dozen Chinese students are expected to attend UCDSB schools annually under the agreement through the board’s International Education Program, administered by The Upper Canada Leger Centre for Education and Training (UCLCET).

This is the second consecutive five-year agreement

THIS WEEK IN

Amberley Beatty is the honky tonk gal in upcoming Studio Theatre show Her tribute shows to Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Gretchen Wilson and Connie Francis have made Amberley Beatty one of the most sought after tribute artists in North America.

When you’re watching Amberley perform her tribute to Loretta Lynn, you’re lookin’ at Country – the real deal, the essence of country music that can’t be faked. She’s as witty and real as the Honky Tonk Gal herself as she belts out classics like “Fist City”, “You Ain’t Woman Enough”, “Don’t Come Home A Drinking With Loving On Your Mind”, and of course “Coal Miner’s Daughter”. Loretta Lynn has been

a country icon for decades, and Amberley is proud to pay tribute to this living legend.

Over the past 10 years, Beatty has been wowing audiences internationally with her amazing portrayals of legendary performers. She has graced stages across North America, not just as a tribute artist, but as an accomplished singer, songwriter and actress, playing lead roles in

musical theatre. Amberley has recently had a top 10 hit on the European Indie charts, singing a duet with country star Allen Karl, and she’s currently working on a new album of original music with JK Gully of Blue Gull Studio.

Amberley’s love of performing has given her the opportunity to meet and work with a host of talented artists; and her adventure is just

beginning.

Don’t miss the chance to see Amberley Beatty as the legendary Loretta Lynn, Friday, Sept. 11 at 8 p.m. at the Studio Theatre, 63 Gore Street E, Perth. Tickets are $30 at Shadowfax, 67 Foster Street, Perth, or call (613) 267-6817.

Visit our booths and have a tasty lunch at our barbecue (Carleton Place Mayor Louis Antonakos will be running the barbecue for us), get your face painted, enjoy music provided by Jack FM, learn about water therapy from Canine Water Wellness, indulge your dog in a bath and/or nail trim from Purrdy Paws, meet other local rescues, place a bid on our silent auction table and don’t forget your bandana, from Waggs ‘n Whiskers once you have completed your pledged walk.

Dog Paintings. Through donations from the Yoga in the Park, our Canine and Cat Café and four art pieces that were sold, LAWS received more than $500 in donations. This is amazing community out with Latisha. Isla arrived at LAWS support! after she escaped outdoors where she was attacked by another animal. When she returned home her personality had changed. Isla spent much time at LAWS meeting people and other animals, however she remains quite the hissy face. ask to meet Isla or Latisha.

This Week’s Pets

Brian Also a long-term resident is Brian, such a gentle soul. Brian is laid back and quite confortable around other cats.

This week’s featured pets Howie Meet Howie, a young and energetic orange and white tabby who is doing break dances to entice an adopter. Howie arrived in fairly good health but much in need of love. This is obvious by the way he hangs from the door whenever a potential adopter arrives.

If you would like an energetic addition with lots of personality – come meet Howie at 253 Glen View Road Smiths Falls.

Isla was declawed by her previous owners and therefore is not a candidate to ever be outdoors. Isla needs a home where she will be loved forever.

Latisha Latisha had been a long-term resident at LAWS often overlooked because of her shyness and black coat. Latisha has come a long way with the support of staff at Natural Pet Foods and is eagerly awaiting her adopter.

Thank you Isla If you wish to provide a home to one LAWS would like to thank Ginger Next is Isla who is now at Natural of our furry friends, please stop in at Café, Hamsa Yoga as well as Doodle Pet Foods in Carleton Place hanging Natural Pet Foods in Carleton Place and

He would make a fine addition to any home.

Luanne Recently returned to the shelter after her owner passed is Luanne, a beautiful female sable with a subdued personality who is perfect for any senior home. If you have never seen a sable cat, feel free to stop in at the shelter to meet Luanne.

Brandi Brandi is a three-year-old female German Shepherd mix who knows her basic commands. She is housetrained, up-todate on vaccines and is spayed and micro chipped. She has really good recall, but requires continued leash work. She is outgoing and loves people, but can be protective of her owner around other dogs. For this reason we recommend continued socialization with and an experienced dog owner.

Brandi is not to be overlooked as she will be loyal and committed to her family.

Follow us if you like on Facebook at www.facebook.com/lanarkanimals or if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the shelter at shelter@ lanarkanimals.ca or by calling 613283-9308.

Tips on packing interesting lunches for younger school aged children Smaller children have smaller stomachs so send them with finger foods and food split into smaller portion sizes.

Smaller portions will be more appealing and less wasteful. For example: • Sandwiches cut into quarters, precut vegetables and fruit, cubed cheese, mini pitas stuffed with cheese and hummus, rolled up wraps cut into circles.

• Pack fruit that doesn’t need peeling, like apples, or are easy to peel, like bananas. Or take the peel off in advance as with an orange.

It can be an exciting and maybe a wee bit scary for children going to school for the first time. Here are some ideas to help make lunch time more manageable for them: • Pack foods that look like food rather than toys like dinosaur cheese or animal crackers. Food that looks like a toy will be played with and this will take up time during the short lunch break.

• Pack favourite leftovers. A favourite meal from the night before is a great meal for school too. You can use a thermos to keep foods hot but children will also eat leftovers cold like spaghetti or cooked chicken.

• Use food-savers that kids can open themselves, with easy to lift tabs so they don’t spend time trying to get into their food or waiting for someone to help.

• Pack items that don’t need to be opened to be eaten. Single-serving items, such as small bags of crackers or sealed cheese portions take extra time to open.

• In lunch bags, use foods they know and like. Use meals at home to introduce new foods.

Nutrition Tips

all, breakfast, snack bin or lunch programs at no cost. Speak with the school principal.

Finally, it can be a challenge, but try to trust your children’s appetites. Parents and caregivers can take the responsibility to provide healthy foods and the children can take the responsibility to decide how much of it to eat. Keep in mind that if If perishable foods come back home, foods like meat, fish, poultry eggs or milk products, do not reuse them, throw them out.

What about hot catered lunches?

Many schools provide hot lunches for a fee. Often a percentage of that money is used as fundraising. When it comes to health food choices consider these thoughts: • Send healthy snack foods even on days when there’s a catered lunch.

• Find out if the caterer would add an item to the meal to make it complete, for example a milk product or a fruit or vegetable. Make the healthy food choice the easy food choice.

• Find out about the ingredients used.

For example does the pizza include a whole grain crust, part skim milk cheese, lean meat, vegetable toppings and a lower sodium pizza sauce? For more ideas visit www.nutritiontoolsforschools.ca and see their “Healthy Catered Lunches” fact sheet.

To speak with a registered dietitian at no cost, Ontario residents can call, toll free 1-877-510-5102. For more nutrition information go to www.healthunit. org and www.eatrightontario.ca.

Marie Traynor is a registered dietitian and public health nutritionist with the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit.

Dealing with time and budget constraints • Pack reusable cutlery and fabric napkins.

• Cook larger batches of foods like soups, stews or pasta sauces. Use planned leftovers for lunch. If there is still some left, freeze it for lunch or dinner another day. Be sure to label and date foods going into the freezer.

• Schedule a baking session so you will have homemade muffins or oatmeal cookies. Wrap them well and freeze them individually.

• Stock your fridge and pantry with items that you can prepare in a hurry (cherry tomatoes, apples, bananas, grapes, yogurts, whole grain crackers, leftovers, canned fish).

• Save yourself time in the morning by packing lunches, with your children’s help, the night before.

• Keep lunches in the fridge overnight.

• Keep your lunch bag supplies in one spot.

• Many schools in Leeds, Grenville and Lanark have universal, or open to

Michael Runtz talks beavers, birds and bugs at nature reserve Sept. 19 To celebrate the recent publication of Michael Runtz’s long awaited book on beavers, Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust invites you to the beaver pond at High Lonesome Nature Reserve on Saturday, Sept. 19 where Runtz will do a show

and tell about this Canadian icon and its habitat.

Could there be a better venue for one of Runtz’s engaging presentations, with frogs croaking, bees buzzing, birds chirping, and meanwhile the winds blowing gently through

the tall pines and rippling the surface of the pond? Will the resident beavers make a guest appearance?

Following an introduction on the beavers and their role in the ecosystem, Runtz will lead us around the pond as he shares

his passion and knowledge of this special part of the natural world he has been observing and studying for 30 years. This special event will likely reveal some curious secrets about beaver behaviors.

If you are not already a collector of the previous colourful and substantive Runtz books, by the end of the morning you may be sorely tempted to obtain a copy of his Dam Builders: The Natural History of Beavers and Their Ponds. Having haunted beaver ponds through most of his life, the author’s photographs and depictions illuminate, with insight and authority, this remarkable animal and its effects on biodiversity. This will be a great opportunity to

Michael Runtz will lead a show and tell about the Canadian icon, the beaver, and its habitat at High Lonesome Nature Reserve. The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust planned the event to coincide with the recent publication of Runtz’s book on beavers.

Transforming Landscapes FOR OVER 35 YEARS

buy a signed copy for yourself or as a gift for a fellow nature lover.

The Mississippi Madawaska Land Trust (MMLT) acquired High Lonesome Nature Reserve in 2012 through a generous donation from the family of Barry (Sam) Spicer. There is an 8 km network of trails that wind through the property, taking you through all types of habitat and providing wonderful opportunities for wildlife observation and photography.

To date MMLT has conserved more than 2.400 acres of ecological sensitive lands in eastern Ontario.

In addition to its mandate to protect these significant properties in perpetuity, the Land Trust is committed to provid-

ing regular opportunities for people of all ages to experience the wilderness first hand.

Registration for this event starts at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19 and the presentation begins at 10 a.m. The admission fee is a $10 donation to the MMLT. To reach High Lonesome, take County Road 29 to Pakenham Village and turn onto Waba Road. Continue west for 2.9 km, turn left on Barr Side Road and travel for 1.6 km.

Take the first left at Carbine Road and drive 4 km to 867 Carbine Road and you have arrived.

Look at, listen to and feel real local history of North Lanark in scenic Appleton The following is the latest in a series of monthly articles on local museums in Lanark County, submitted by the North Lanark Historical Society.

Sure you can “Google” historical facts but your screen can’t recreate the voices, animate the artifacts or replicate the atmosphere you can only experience when you move from today to back then—as you explore a museum.

Immerse yourself in historical buildings, like the pioneer cabin, or listen to local anecdotes recorded by those who lived it as part of the oral histories offered at the North Lanark Regional Museum in Appleton, in the Town of Mississippi Mills.

It’s your one stop for everything you need to know about North Lanark, including your genealogy. Local family histories are available in our research library along with local history books and archived copies of our community newspaper, The Almonte Gazette.

There is truly something for everyone to enjoy. Our current exhibit, The Art and Artists of Photography, will be on display until October. It showcases antique cameras and tintypes alongside the best of the museum’s vast photography collection. The exhibit also features the work of local, contemporary photographers Alan Mirabelli, Lee Brebner, and Audrey Buckingham. There truly is something for everyone to enjoy, from history buffs to art lovers alike.

We’re passionate about local involvement and hold events year round to bring together friends, neighbours, families, and the community, whether it’s to share histories, a few laughs, or a nice pot of tea. On Sunday, Sept. 20, we’re holding our annual Apple Pie Fest, made even better by the addition of a Classic Car Show. Stop by for a slice of home made apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and check out the classic cars before taking a stroll through the museum’s collection. Tickets are available at the museum or at Baker Bob’s in Almonte.

MUSEUM From page 35

camps and summer kid’s camps combine cultural learning with outdoor adventures, giving the little ones a chance to burn off some energy after crafts, games and other fun activities.

Take a day or an afternoon to discover your past.

The museum is open year round weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Can’t make it then?

Call 613-257-8503 to make a special appointment outside our operating hours or check out our virtual exhibit The Mills of Appleton located on our website.

The Museum is owned and operated by the North Lanark Historical Society (NLHS) which started in 1960s with a group of residents who didn’t want to lose local history including that of Almonte, Ramsay, Pakenham, Beckwith and Lanark Township Areas.

The NLHS purchased the former Ramsay schoolhouse S.S. #11, to house their collection in 1970. Officially opening in June of 1971 the North Lanark Regional Museum became the first museum in Mississippi Mills.

Today the museum thrives as a local landmark located along the Mississippi River carrying on the tradition of collecting, preserving and displaying local history with

the help of dedicated volunteers and seasonal and contract staff funded through Ontario Trillium grants and the Ministry of Culture.

In an effort to raise funds to maintain the museum buildings, procure artefacts and preserve the collection – plus spark interest in local history for newcomers and long-time residents alike – the NLHS hosts events such as the Scottish Tea, strawberry social, annual heritage dinner, and regular guest speakers. Upcoming speakers include author of Clara’s Rib, Anne Raina (Sept. 16 at 7 p.m.), author Mary Cook (Oct. 21 at 7 p.m.) and author Rob More, who will be discussing Lanark First World War soldiers (Nov. 8 The museum is known for its genealogical collection and its preservation of local artifacts and social history. at 2 p.m.).

We’re also working towards building a ramp and Leave your car at home for a day, week or a month! accessible front door so ev- PARK IT! Try walking or biking. If work is too far away to walk carpool. eryone can access the museum. If you’d like to contribute to our accessibility fund, our goal is $15,000, you can visit www.northlanarkregionalmuseum.com.

We’re proud to say we’ve already paid for the architect’s drawings and started an account for construction costs.

A chance to drive a 1935 Chrysler Airflow Eight Douglas Tozer of Markdale, Ontario, recently visited Tony Lang of Chepstow, a small village a few miles northwest of Walkerton.

The “Lang Collection” of classic cars includes a beautiful 1935 Chrysler Airflow Eight sedan with a new all-steel unibody construction first introduced the previous year with styling and engineering many years ahead of its time. It was the first domestic car designed in a wind tunnel.

From the two-piece V-shaped windshield to the headlights blended into the front fenders, this car in the mid-30s looked like a car of the future – and in many ways it really was. Features included safety glass in the windshield, full insulation against noise, heat and cold, and hydraulic brakes pioneered

by Chrysler as early as 1924. Henry Ford stubbornly clung to mechanical brakes (“the safety of steel from pedal to wheel”) until he finally went hydraulic in 1939.

When unveiled for the 1934 model year, the new Chrysler Airflow with its “waterfall” grille was available as a coupe, 2-door sedan, and 4-door sedan with Canadian prices when new from $1,500 for the 6-cylinder DeSoto Air-

year, after which it was replaced with cars of more contemporary styling. It may have been a financial disappointment for Water P. Chrysler but the Airflow stands today as a milestone in the evolution of the automobile. Surviving examples are meticulously restored and highly collectible.

I’m always looking for more stories. Email billtsherk@sympatico.ca or write Bill Sherk, P.O. Box 255, 25 John Street, Leamington, ON N8H 3W2. Everyone whose story is published in my column receives a free autographed copy of my book: “OLD CAR DETECTIVE FAVOURITE STORIES, 1925 to 1965.”

flow to $2,180 for the 8-cylinder Imperial Airflow. Sales were not as expected, and for 1935, the downward curve at the front of the ’34 grille was given a slight peak to give the car a more conventional look.

On May 28, 2015, Tony Lang took Douglas Tozer for a ride in his Chrysler Airflow, then handed the keys to Douglas and said: “Now you drive.” Not many people get a chance like that. Douglas took the wheel and guided the car down the road, looking today as good as it did when it rolled off the assembly line 80 years earlier. The car won Second Best in Show at a St. Johns Concourse in Michigan.

Under the hood is a 323 cubic inch Lhead straight eight engine cranking out 115 horsepower in the Chrysler C-1 series and 130 in the C-2 Imperial Eight.

The Chrysler Airflow continued in production to the end of the 1937 model Submitted photo

Protesters pay MPP Hillier a visit to rally against new sex-ed curriculum Tara Gesner

that involves desensitizing and sexualizing our children.”

She noted “age-inappropriate material” such as masturbation and anal sex, and “the portrayal of sex as a recreational activity for personal pleasure,” without mention of love or marriage.

“We need to be teaching our children that while sexual feelings are good and normal, they should wait to have sex until they are adults in committed relationships,” Proud said. “Having sex when you are young is dangerous and can lead to pregnancy, STDs and HIV your very first time, even with a condom, which will affect you for the rest of your life.”

The lack of insufficient consultation with parents was also stressed.

“Sure, not all teens will wait, but why not recommend the best scenario, which is what they’ve done in the rest of the health curriculum regarding cigarettes, alcohol and healthy eating,” Proud said.

“They should use the same methods for sex-ed.”

Carleton Place resident, Shaelyn Ryan, 15, a student at Carleton Place High School, doesn’t like the new curriculum.

“It’s not fair to the kids,” she said.

“They should be able to keep their innocence a lot longer.”

Another Carleton Place resident, Guy Brown, a member of Lighthouse Free Methodist Church, paraphrased former prime minister of Canada Pierre Trudeau who once said: “There’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation.”

“On the whole, the curriculum is too explicit,” Proud said. “There is information that I didn’t know and I’m married with seven children.”

A late morning protest at the Carleton Place constituency office of Randy Hillier, MPP Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington was part of a provincewide day of action on Sept. 2, organized by the Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), urging the Ontario government to scrap its new sexual education (sex-ed) curriculum.

Changes to the curriculum, the first update since 1998, will see students learn about same sex relationships, sexting and bullying, and masturbation and contraception. Some of the highlights: In Grade 1 children will learn to identify body parts by proper name; in Grade 4 the physical changes during puberty will be described; and in Grade 7 STDs will be discussed, including how they can be transmitted.

Sarah Proud, a resident of Beckwith and the Carleton Place protest’s team leader, told the Record News, “The curriculum is full of social agenda, it’s not fact based, and the risk and long-term effects of HIV and STDs are downplayed. Children are taught that they should have sex ‘when they feel ready’, and they will be safe as long as they remember to use a condom.”

The 20-plus protestors outside Hillier’s office mostly consisted of concerned parents and members of the local Lighthouse Free Methodist Church and Beckwith Baptist Church. They held signs that read: “Let kids be kids”, “Too much, too young”, “Respect cultural and religious values”, “Save the innocence of children” and “Voters say ‘no’, elected impose ‘yes’.”

Proud told protestors, “(Premier) Democracy Kathleen Wynne has a personal agenda To bring in a public policy, especially

32 Beckwith Street South 613-283-2000

one that’s controversial, without debate or a vote “is contemptuous of democracy,” Hillier said.

He noted the purpose of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario is to represent and safeguard public interests, “and we do that by debating public policy. We get to scrutinize and question that public policy and we also get further clarifica-

tion and knowledge about what is intended or expected.”

Although the local MPP is in favour of sex-ed, he questioned if the new curriculum is as respectful as the one he was taught in school.

In June a petition with 185,000 signatures – the largest petition in the history of Queen’s Park – was tabled. It calls

for the repealing of the sex-ed component of the health and physical education curriculum planned for 2015 “and starting over with a meaningful parental consultation process that actually gets buy-in from parents across the Province of Ontario.”

Bill On Sept. 17 Hillier will be debating at second reading his private member’s bill – Bill 89 – an act to amend the Election Act with respect to the recall of members of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

Calling it a powerful tool for democracy, he said: “The bill would allow constituents to recall an MPP if they are not meeting the expectations and desires of the people who elected them. It’s a method of checks and balances.”

ternatives to public schools amid the sex-ed row.

“If Kathleen Wynne and the Liberal government refuse to listen to the concerns of parents, many plan to remove their children from school this fall and find alternative education,” Proud said. “The first two weeks in September determine how much money the school boards receive. Lower enrollment will have a huge effect.”

Hiller concurred school boards “are funded on a per pupil basis at the beginning of the school year.

If there is a decline in enrollment, there will be a decline in funding to the school boards. Whatever you say about government, about bureaucracy, money is important.”

Joseph Potvin, president and general manager of mOOse Inc. and fellow stakeholders have been working diligently to secure the 400km commuter route prior to their 2017 anticipated launch date.

“We have a very ambitious timeline and we’re sticking to it,” Potvin said.

“We’re actually making significant progress in moving our project forward.”

Their work behind the scenes is expected to produce a public announcement before the snow flies this year.

“It’s a kilometer long bridge, but it’s the most important kilometer in the 400,” Potvin said.

The company is currently working with the Rail Safety Directorate of Transport Canada and the Canadian Transportation Agency to gain clarity on use of the bridge.

Maloney is intrigued by the proposal and the possibility of moving Smiths Falls residents to and from the nation’s capital with greater ease.

“It’s definitely a good news story, especially for Smiths Falls,” Maloney said.

He hopes a 2017 launch date will mean increased residential and commercial growth for the community and with that increased property values.

“It’s been really huge for us to be efficient,” Anderson said of the space.

The Link Crew consists of students from Grade 9 to 12 who are teamed with the newcomers to help them through their first semester of high school. To the left, Keara Doyle, Grade 12 Link Crew member, gives a high five to one of her Grade 9 team members during orientation. To the right, Erin Fenlong, Link Crew teacher, leads the orientation.

DEAR EDITOR:

September is great, but bring on October

’ve watched and loved the Toronto Blue Jays for a long time – even before the back-toback World Series championships of 1992/93.

It was in 1991 when the team was in Ottawa for the fourth annual Labatt’s/ Blue Jays Amateur Baseball Festival.

The highlight of that year, besides wearing my traditional button-down jersey toting my Minolta Maxuum 7000 camera – that was the days of film – was getting to see players like Roberto Alomar and Joe Carter up close. Like behind-the-backstop close.

But it was only for a couple innings.

They were then benched in favour of the lesser-known Jays of the time. They played against the British Columbia based National Baseball Institute’s all stars in a fundraising effort.

The first festival was held in 1987 when 19,000 fans watched the Blue Jays win 8-6. Bad weather cancelled the show the following year in New Brunswick, but in 1989, the Jays won this one in Regina in front of 26,000 fans.

The game was played at Lansdowne Park. Sports writers from the city’s dailies were ridiculing the fans for not coming out. Less than 12,000 made it to the stadium to watch the Blue Jays win the “yawner” by a score of 5-2.

I didn’t care. I was able to snap some photos of the boys from behind the back stop and through the fences along the baselines. I just wish I had kept those negatives in a safer place and that old scrapbook didn’t get wet and musty.

That was in May of 1991 – my first unofficial Blue Jays game.

The second time I was in attendance at a Jays’ game was at the Sky Dome when Toronto lost a 3-1 decision to the Oakland A’s. It was July 11, 1992. I still have the ticket stub: aisle 113D, row 7, seat 6. I couldn’t have been closer to Joe Carter had I tried. I’d be in my glory today if I were to snag that seat next to my favourite Blue Jay, Jose Bautista.

He kind of looks like Joe Carter.

This year, there are definitely some similarities in looks – to me, anyway.

Josh Donaldson and Kelly Gruber; Russell Martin and Pat Borders; Ryan

LAURIE WEIR Weir View Goins and Robbie Alomar; John Olerud and Justin Smoak? Looks are not all the 2015 Blue Jays have in common with that 92/93 team.

There is camaraderie. You need that, along with the sultans of swing they have in the lineup and depth in the bullpen. Yes, I think these guys have what it takes to win another World Series title.

This year I’m pretty excited to follow the Blue Jays. I admit I haven’t been as chronic about it in years since social media has become such a strong helper of fan support.

So here I was on Twitter a week ago when I found my favourite player – Joey Bats 19 – and I started to follow him. That evening, as I left work, I had a Twitter notification. I had a new follower. I squealed with excitement when I saw it was Jose Bautista. Do I care that he follows a half-million people?

No way. It’s fun.

Prior to that excitement, I had gone a little nutty and ordered a limited edition Blue Jays hoody online. It was coming from Pennsylvania, (not sure why exactly) so of course it wasn’t the $39.95 that had been advertised. This one is not found in stores, the ad read. But I had to take into consideration the shipping and handling, and border crossing fees, not to mention the exchange rate.

So by the end of it all, my bill was over $150.

What?

Why so much?

I’m glad you asked… apparently, in my excitement to order, I inadvertently punched in that I needed three of them.

Oh well, I don’t care if it’s 100 degrees in the shade and I’m melting. I’ll wear these hoodies out before I send even one of them back across the border. By the time October rolls around, it will be great weather for a little fleece.

Go Jays Go!

New school staff looks to work with students towards success activity on learning and leveraging the academic data collected on student needs to ensure they continue to achieve success.

Part of this formula is investment into playground equipment. This fall, the school invested some of their kindergarten playground fund towards installing a shade structure for the school’s youngest learners.

“It’s for the kids to go in and play underneath,” Kelly explained.

The school is pleased to have their breakfast and after school program return for this academic year, and credits the many local volunteers for the benefits they are seeing through these efforts.

“We’re very, very fortunate here with our volunteers,” she said.

Kelly is not the only new face at Duncan J Schoular. Tabitha Bucholtz Valliant is sitting in the vice-principal’s chair this school year.

Dale Dixon maybe the new principal at Smiths Falls District Institute (SFDCI), but he’s red through and through having graduated from the local high school prior to launching his career in education.

“I’m thrilled to be back,” Dixon said.

This is the 28-year educational veteran’s first post as principal. For the last three years Dixon has served as vice-principal at Carleton Place High School and has been an active educator in the county throughout his career. Dixon has spent the summer months becoming familiar with his new surroundings and preparing to roll up his sleeves and work with the teaching staff and students on two school specific objectives: improving student literacy and assessment practices.

“The main thing we’re trying to do is learn more about how they learn,” Dixon added. “We’re partners with them [students] in learning.”

Dixon said school staff will be fleshing out the direction on these two objectives, while also reviewing past successes and assessing how they can be built on during the first half of the school year.

They will be joined by two new vice-principals: Christie Reitsma and Jamie Campbell in these efforts.

“The real energy of the building and the work Stacey Roy/METROLAND to be done starts when we’re all back at it,” Dixon SFDCI is welcoming a brand new trio of administrative staff. From left to right: Dale Dixsaid.

“I think for a lot of students, learning should be an experience,” Dixon said.

Providing a diversity of opportunities to students also supports the school board’s overall goal of reaching 90 per cent graduation rate by providing engagement with youth each year of their education.

“Almost everybody said they knew somebody who suffered from depression,” Williams said.

The words of thanks and encouragement he got along the route was added fuel to finish a run that challenged him physically and psychologically, but not everyone was as receptive. Williams recalls approaching some guys at a picnic table and encouraging them to reach out if they need help. Immediately, the guys began to crack jokes to avoid the topic entirely. He hopes his efforts this September will have done his part to reduce the stigma of mental illness in the province and encourage anyone who is struggling to break their silence.

“We all have an important role to play in getting rid of stigma around mental illness, so that people can feel comfortable reaching out to seek treatment,” Williams said in a June 1 press release.

Williams has been joined on his route by approximately 200 fellow runners who take part in segments of the journey at times. Rachael Bell, Don’t You Dare Quit (DYDQ) campaign founder was one of these racers. She spent Sept.

3 with Williams running from Tower Road to the Jasper Highway to show her support for his efforts.

“I love what he’s doing,” Bell added.

“It’s necessary.”

Bell is also listed as the fourth highest donor to the Pursuit for Mental Health event by donating $160. The event hoped to raise $15,000 for MDSC of which $9,631 was raised as of last Friday afternoon.

DYDQ is an advocacy (find them on Facebook) and fundraising arm that supports the mental health department of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Its focus is to encourage youth who are experiencing mental health issues to not give up hope on a brighter tomorrow.

Mike Thumm of Ottawa is another marathoner who joined Williams in Smiths Falls. His run from Smiths Falls to Merrickville Sept. 3 is the 19th of 52 marathons Thumm plans to complete in support of mental health and the Do It For Daron campaign.

Bear observed in Smiths Falls

On Aug. 30 Smiths Falls Police received a complaint of a bear cub wandering in the area of Empress Ave. Police are warning the public to not approach any bear they see and to notify police if it is near residential areas or endangering the public. Public can also contact the ministry toll free at 1-866-514-2327 to report sightings.

Two charged with theft Police have arrested two teenaged males, 18 and 15, of Smiths Falls with theft after receiving a complaint of youths going through vehicles. The two males were later released on conditions and will appear in court.

Collision results in criminal charges A 48-year-old female from Kanata is facing criminal charges after hitting an off duty police officers’ vehicle in a local restaurant. The female was driving a local business vehicle of her own and left the scene of the accident. The officer followed the female to another business where she abandoned the vehicle and fled on foot.

A warrant has been requested for her arrest but she is facing criminal charges of obstructing a police officer, failing to report an accident, driving without a licence and driving without an interlock device.

Smiths Falls Police Service urges anyone with further information regarding this incident, or similar incidents, to contact our service at 613-283-0357. Information may be provided anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

Putting your body through a marathon a day for over a week was a challenge physically for Williams who experienced wear on his feet from the constant use.

“The constant pain can be tiring,” he said.

Near Quinte West Williams’ physical deterioration forced him to take a sixhour stop due to an injured tendon. A team of trusted ultra runners came to his aid and helped him prepare himself for the remainder of the run.

“They told me how to run on it and how to heal,” Williams said.

That six-hour break is the longest rest the Ontario father and husband allowed himself in the entire eight days. From the start, he was planning to maximize his time on the road by running 21 to 22 hours of every day and getting just two hours of sleep. Williams initially registered to run a 600km race in Buffalo, New York in support of Mood Disorders Canada, but that event was cancelled.

Not wanting to let down the cause, Williams shifted gears and charted out his own path along the canal system to Parliament Hill.

Support kidney disease research; take part in kidney walk Sept. 27 in Perth Do you have diabetes? Renal vascular disease?

If you do please have your kidney function tested by your physician as you are at risk for kidney disease! Today, 1 in 10 Canadians (almost 1,000 people in Smiths Falls or 600 people in Perth) has kidney disease and millions more are at risk.

Over 1,000 Ontarians have to wait four to six years for a kidney transplant. Countless others live with reduced kidney function and disease that may still be undetected.

For these reasons The Kidney Foundation of Canada is asking the people of Smiths Falls and Perth to take steps to fight the disease by participating in the Perth 2015 Kidney Walk on Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Crystal Palace in Perth.

Kidney failure is often a disease people don’t give much thought to until it is too late. Once a person’s kidneys fail there are two options – dialysis or a transplant. Neither option is a cure, just a treatment.

“The physical, financial and mental consequences of this disease can be overwhelming,” says Bruce Hill, of the eastern Ontario chapter of the Kidney Foundation. ”Dialysis treatments take hours a day, several days a week and often involves travelling to a treatment centre,” says Hill. “The time commit-

ment, combined with fatigue, weakness and other symptoms can leave a person unable to work.

Being unable to work may mean not being able to pay bills and take care of family, which can lead to depression and anxiety. Kidney disease is life-altering, not just for the person diagnosed with it, but for their friends and family as well.”

Kidney walk volunteers (left to right) Lynn Marsh, Ken Mylrea, Cindy Rivington and Robin Borrowman have been busy preparing for the Sept. 27 walk in Perth.

“Kidney disease is life-altering,” Bruce Hill, of the eastern Ontario chapter of the Kidney Foundation.

That is why The Kidney Foundation of Canada hosts Kidney Walks in 41 communities across Ontario. Kidney Walks raise funds for programs, support and research, and also bring communities together to raise awareness about kidney disease.

The Perth Kidney Walk takes place Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Crystal Palace with registration at 10 a.m. To register or donate, visit www.kidneywalk.ca , call 1-800-724-9953, Ext. 4560 or e-mail Bruce Hill at bhill@kidney.on.ca

K3C helps individuals and families manage their debt and credit through a variety of methods. In consultation with a credit counsellor, who provides free ongoing support for budgeting and money management skills, several options can be explored to aid clients in securing their assets or avoiding bankruptcy. For example, a Debt Management Program — a voluntary agreement between our agency and our clients’ creditors — can in most cases stops collection calls, reduce interest, and decrease payments on unsecured debt.

“Personal freedom and control over the process is the difference between acting now and waiting until declaring bankruptcy is unavoidable,” Simon Robinson, K3C’s Community Relations Coordinator, wrote on Twitter.

Happy 18th birthday, Brooke Henderson!

What a way to see in her birthday today as she is teeing off in round one of the LPGA Evian Championship in France.

This event is the season’s fifth major with a $3,250,000 purse.

Last year, Hyo Joo Kim won the tournament after sinking a 12-foot birdie putt for her first LPGA title and first major win.

Henderson took a week off after the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open in Vancouver two weeks ago. She finished that tournament as the top Canadian. Prior to that event, Henderson won her first major, the Portland Classic. Her five-day rest was much deserved.

“I love coming home to Smiths Falls,” she told CTV News Ottawa. “And then go up to my cottage and be able to relax for a few days, it’s awesome.”

Henderson is one of 120 players to take part in this event.

Harvest Food & Drink Show highlights area vendors Sept. 12 Kelly Kent

kkent@metroland.com

It’s every food lover’s dream: a full day of sampling and tasting some of the area’s best gourmet and artisan goods.

On Saturday, Sept. 12, the Almonte Agricultural Hall will be filled with food and beverage vendors from across Lanark County and the Ottawa Valley for the third annual Harvest Food & Drink Show.

“This is a nice way to support local businesses in a different way,” said organizer Emily Arbour, who’s also behind the area’s hugely popular Handmade Harvest craft shows. “Plus, you get to try some really amazing food and beverage products, which is always a bonus.”

More than 40 vendors of all things sweet and savoury will be featured at this year’s show, which runs from 1 to 6 p.m. Everything from wine and beer to ice cream and hot sauces will be available for sampling (and purchasing), including several items from Almonte businesses.

“There’s a strong local Almonte theme, of course,” Arbour said. “I try to support Almonte in almost everything I do.”

Local businesses participating in this year’s show include: Hummingbird Chocolate, Equator Coffee Roasters, Cartwright Springs Brewery, Peches et Poivre and Dandelion Foods, who are one of the main sponsors.

Other vendors include Kin Vineyards, a winery based in nearby Kinburn; Oat & Mill, which makes vegan ice cream from oat milk; Meow That’s Hot, a gourmet hot sauce company; The Unrefined Olive, who will offer tastings of various oils; and

Carleton Place’s Ginger Café restaurant.

Arbour said that the Harvest Food & Drink Show is very community-based and encourages guests to sample local products they may not have tried.

“It’s like a modern take on a farmers’ market,” she said.

Tickets are $20 in advance and can be purchased at Hello Yellow, Arbour’s Mill Street shop, or online at www.handmadeharvest.com/foodanddrink.

Tickets at the door will cost $25.

Arbour said there will be something at the show for everyone, including several gluten-free or vegan options. However, because of the fact that there will be beer and wine vendors present, guests of the event must be 19 years of age or older.

This year’s event is running later than it has in previous years, and Arbour says guests can mingle for the duration of the event if they wish.

“It’s a great opportunity to wander out of the show and then head for dinner at one of the restaurants downtown,” Arbour said. “Why not make it a whole day’s worth of good food?”

For more information on the Harvest Food & Drink Show, including a full list of vendors, visit www.handmadeharvest.com/foodanddrink.

Hometown girl aims to educate population on what it means to be green Stacey Roy

sroy@perfprint.ca

When Jessica-Faye Watters says it’s not easy being green she isn’t referring to a beloved puppet but to a debilitating condition known as Gastroparesis.

The Smiths Falls native has literally been living life green by undertaking green walks where she colours all exposed skin green and holds a sign that reads: “It’s not easy being green. Ask me why.”

Green is the official colour for Gastroparesis, a digestive condition that slows or stops the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. For the last six years, Watters has struggled with keeping weight on, chronic vomiting and nausea, extreme sensitivity to temperature and touch and an overall anxiety around leaving her home while battling this persistent illness.

“It colours your whole life,” Watters said.

The problem is that Gastroparesis is an internal condition with no obvious signs. This is why Watters said she feels the condition has largely gone unnoticed, but she is equally certain that its invisibility can’t continue.

“Even though you look normal you can feel totally alien,” Watters explains.

Being green means something to everyone. For Watters, she sees the colour as an identification of the illness itself and a sign of hope for those living with it that healing is possible.

Her hope is that her green walks (she has done a walk in Smiths Falls, Ottawa and Arnprior and hopes to do another in town) will increase the awareness of the condition within the general public so the medical community will continue looking for a treatment and cure. Watters said she also hopes to educate people on

J e s s i c a - Faye Watters is taking her personal journey with Gastroparesis to the streets of Smiths Falls and other communities in the hopes of increasing awareness of the illness and encourage others to be tested if they struggle with symptoms.

She is planning another Smiths Falls walk before the winter season this year.

the existence of the condition so those with Gastroparesis will have a quicker diagnosis than herself.

“There’s so many people who could have it and don’t know,” Watters said.

Her journey began six years ago this October when she was living in Ottawa and going to school with dreams of becoming a graphic artist. In the fall of 2009, she came down with H1N1, which Watters now believes caused damage to her vagus nerve, which in turn is believed to have caused the Gastroparesis to develop.

“We were waiting for me to get better,

but I just kept getting worse and worse,” Watters says. “I was literally at my prime then I got sick.”

Every case of this condition is unique, and Watters can only talk about her personal journey. In her case, Watters has struggled to keep her weight at 80 pounds due to the severity of her symptoms, which include being unable to keep food down long enough to absorb nutrients. Nausea and vomiting are part of her day. Food does not break down in her stomach so the body gets rid of it another way – by being physically sick.

“I don’t remember what it’s like to be

full,” Watters said.

One particular day she was sick and having trouble breathing. Her stomach was bloated and the decision was made that she needed medical help. A 9-1-1 call resulted in an X-ray at the hospital, which revealed her stomach was full of undigested food, which was causing the pain and adding pressure to her breathing system.

Watters endured these symptoms for three years before her diagnosis was known. Unfortunately, this delay meant she was unable to tolerate the medication often given to those with Gastroparesis.

Today, she takes three medicines in Gatorade multiple times a day to ensure her potassium is functional and her symptoms are at bay.

“It’s kind of like being a robot because you constantly need fuel,” Watters adds of her dosage. “It’s just chemical chaos trying to sort it all out.”

Prior to her diagnosis, Watters has had to address accusations of having an eating disorder and navigate a health care system that routinely bounces patients from the ER to a specialist’s office.

“It’s been a rollercoaster,” adds best friend and roommate, Courtney Coady.

She said each time she has called 9-11 for her friend she thinks: “Maybe this time, some how, it will be different” and an answer will be given.

That wish came true this June when Watters’ care was transferred from her family doctor to a Gastroparesis specialist who works out of the Civic hospital.

The doctor has put her on new medication, which has helped her gain some weight.

“It was great! For the first time in a while we actually have some progress,” Watters says.

She is waiting to hear if the Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) will

cover her new pills, which cost $180 a month for those using just one pill a day where Watters uses two to three a day.

Watters’ health challenges have been hard on her family who continue to see her struggle with her symptoms, but their ready ear and flexibility is part of what Watters’ said she considers to be her secret weapon in keeping her strength up.

“I don’t think I’d be doing as well as I am if I didn’t have the support system I have,” Watters said.

She encourages anyone who is experiencing Gastroparesis symptoms to reach out to the community on Facebook: It’s Not Easy Being Green: Gastroparesis Awareness or on the Gastroparesis and Dysmotility Canada website: http:// www.gastroparesiscanada.com. Watters is currently working with the creator of this website to develop educational material and graphics that will help educate the public on her condition and the need for further research.

Living with a chronic condition has an impact on your mind as well as your physical self. Watters said she struggles with sadness on her flare up days and, at times, when she longs to be actively working in her chosen profession.

“There are days where I don’t want to look at meds or food,” she said.

The Smiths Falls native gets through these bad days with the help of friends and family, and by keeping focused on her overall goal of feeling better so she can consider her condition to be something she lives with not get through.

“The dream would be to get well enough that I can do graphic art freelance,” she said.

You can help Watters by wearing green in support of the condition and sharing her information on the Facebook group to get the message to even more people.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you are ready to move in new and unexpected directions. Your boss or supervisor may appreciate any new ideas you have and your willingness to try new things.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Many fun things are expected to unfold this week, Taurus. With so many people to see and errands to run, try to make some time to relax so you don’t fall victim to fatigue.

dom-used door hinges, locks and other mechanical components may need some extra TLC and lubricant. Tires can lose air pressure. Internal engine parts and fuel injection systems can experience carbon and varnish buildup due to low speed operation. For vehicles undergoing this type of operation, having a full inspection twice a year isn’t overkill.

The decision on which fluids/filters should be changed and which services should be performed can then be safely made based on the actual condition of the vehicle, not some arbitrary, one-size-fits-all guide.

I would recommend asking your dealer service consultant to work with you on this basis to avoid spending money you don’t need to. If they can’t, there are plenty of other facilities to choose from.

ranty would be voided if their recommendations weren’t followed.

Neither dealerships nor carmakers can void a warranty just because an owner chooses to follow a manufacturer’s guide over the retailers’ recommendations or chooses to service his or her auto at a private facility.

However, if a specific failure occurs and it can be demonstrated that is was due to lack of servicing according to the carmakers schedule, then expect to dig out the plastic and pay the piper.

While a vehicle that travels less than 6,000 km per year and is driven by a very conscientious owner may seem like a low-cost maintainer, under-using a vehicle can bring just as many concerns as overusing one. Engine oil can become moisture contaminated due to short runs that don’t fully warm up the engine. Brakes can be prone to excessive amounts of binding rust due to extended periods of downtime. Sel-

Pumpkin cheesecake is a great fall treat Take advantage of the abundance of pumpkins in your fall baking. This cheesecake has all the taste and creaminess of pumpkin pie without having to make pastry.

Ingredients • 1-1/4 cups (300 mL) graham wafer crumbs • 3 tbsp (45 mL) granulated sugar • 1/4 cup (50 mL) melted butter

Stir in melted butter. Press firmly into 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan; wrap bottom of pan with foil, set aside.

Filling: In small bowl, mix together sugar and cornstarch. In large bowl, using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar and cornstarch together until very smooth.

In separate large bowl, whisk together eggs and brown sugar. Stir in pumpkin, yogurt, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt and cloves.

Fold in cream cheese mixture until well blended.

Pour over prepared crust.

Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven until almost set in the centre, about one hour. Remove to wire rack. Immediately run knife around edge of pan. Allow to cool completely. Cover and refrigerate for four hours or up to 24 hours.

Maple walnuts: In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in walnuts, maple syrup, sugar and cinnamon. Cook, stirring constantly for three to four minutes, until nuts are well coated.

I would like to thank everyone for the cards, donations, flowers, food and support shown during the loss of ‘John Whitney’. A special thank you to “Diaylsis” both Smiths Falls and Kingston for going above and beyond with their extraordinary care giving and family support and Dr. White with expert decision making. Smiths Falls Emergency Department and Ambulance/ transit Services for an excellent care and all the trips to the hospital, all physicians (Dr. Horsey seems to be on a lot) for abiding by John’s wishes and making it possible to pass at home.

CCAC, Red Cross and St. Elizabeth for all their dedication, skills, patience and training…it made it possible to keep him at home. All the visits from family and friends while John was not well was also very much appreciated. He looked so forward to those! It’s sometimes easy to forget there are nice people out there doing nice things for others.

Christine (“Criss”) Elizabeth

August 8, 1963 August 17, 2015 Christine (Criss) Elizabeth Thompson passed away peacefully at dawn in Kingston General Hospital (KGH) on August 17, 2015, in the loving presence of siblings Lynn and Jamie and friend, Janet McGregor. Criss was born in Ottawa on August 8, 1963 to parents John and the late Lois Thompson. She was the beloved sister of Lynn Thompson of Ottawa, and Doug and Jamie of Toronto, and the proud aunt of Duncan, Chester and Rosalie (Doug and Elaine) and Islay and Faryn (Jamie and Avon), and fond step-grandmother of Blake. Moreover, she was the devoted mother of Celeste, now a partner with Kevin Hennelly and his daughter Blake. Criss was educated in Alta Vista Public School (Ottawa), Buckingham, Browne & Nichols (Cambridge, Mass) and Oakville-Trafalgar High School (Oakville). She took Creative Writing at David Thomson University in Nelson, BC, and participated in a creative workshop at the Banff School of Fine Arts in Banff, AB. Although her main focus as a single parent was in raising Celeste, her other activities included management of TV festivals at the Banff School, real estate sales in Guelph, and TV and movie production in Toronto. Earlier in her life, Criss pursued her passion in film production, including Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and Banff International Film Festival. She also excelled at making entertaining personal videos, including one of her father trying desperately to start an outboard motor, to the tune of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”! Criss was very personable, intelligent, and creative. She was the life of the party in annual family outings to Stratford, always with some new game to mix things up. She was quick-witted, and renowned for contrived puns. More significantly, she could act decisively in emergency situations. In one swimming class, she saved a student from drowning, while the instructor was standing idly by. She aimed high, for herself and her daughter. Even when her body was declining from liver disease, she retained a feisty determination to enjoy life, including kayaking. We miss her deeply. The family wish to give special thanks for the outstanding medical and social team at the KGH; Perth residents who befriended Criss in her short stay there; relatives and friends who visited or contacted Criss during her month in hospital; and Lynn and Jamie for their boundless attention and communication with family and friends in the last month of her life, which created a strong foundation of loving awareness surrounding Criss.

A tribute to Criss’ life will be held at the Gilchrist Chapel-McIntyre & Wilkie Funeral Home, One Delhi St, Guelph (519-824-0031) on September 12, 2015 at 1:30 pm. It will be preceded by a visitation at 12:30 pm and followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to JeanTweed.com, KGH or a charity of your choice. We invite you to leave your donations or condolences online at www.gilchristchapel.com

JEAN MARY MERPAW November 16, 1949 - September 8, 1996 Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond’s glint on snow.

Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die.

JACKSON – In loving memory of our sweet Nancy, who left us two years ago, September 13, 2013.

You are gone, but not forgotten As it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking Thoughts of you are always near.

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

They say time heals every sorrow But we know it isn’t true, Because it hurts as much today As it did two years ago.

Loved with a love beyond all telling Missed with a grief beyond all tears Until we meet again Mom, Cindy, Doug, Kevin, Donna, Heather And Families

MORRIS – In loving memory of our dear sister, Cindy, who passed away September 12, 1980.

Memories have such lovely ways, They give us back our yesterdays, Treasured memories keep you near, As time unfolds another year.

Dearly loved and missed by your family

Field naturalists invite you to take a peep at the wild bird care centre On Thursday, Sept. 17, the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists begin a new season of monthly natural history talks, this year with the theme ‘Naturally Special Places.” All talks take place in the Social Hall of Almonte United Church, 106 Elgin St., Almonte, beginning at 7:30 p.m.

Guest speaker will be Patty McLaughlin of the Wild Bird Care Centre, also known to many in the area as leader of MVFN’s popular Young Naturalists program for six- to 11-year-olds. McLaughlin holds a B.Sc. in Zoology and a Master of Science degree from Carleton University. In 2013, Patty received The Elizabeth Le Geyt Award in recognition of her outstanding contribution to public awareness and care for wild birds.

During her presentation: “Sparrows, Warblers, and Hawks, OH MY! Taking a ‘Peep’ at the Wild Bird Care Centre”, Patty will introduce us to this very special place in nature, the Wild Bird Care Centre. Patty is a full-time staff member of the centre located on Moodie Drive in Nepean. Established in 1981 by the late Kathy Nihei, the centre was incorporated in 1991 as the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre and has operated at the Stony Swamp Conservation Area location since 1992. It is the only place in the Ottawa Valley dedicated to the care, treatment, and release of sick, injured and orphaned wild birds. The centre cares for over 2300 wild birds annually.

Throughout Patty’s captivating presentation, we expect to learn more about the history of this naturally special place, as well as details of their daily operations, including stories of the most common patients as well as some of their AUCTIONS

Explore the art of preserving at SFHS meeting Charles McLenaghan

The next meeting of the Smiths Falls Horticultural Society is at the Smiths Falls Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 95 at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 15.

Memberships taken out this month include up to the end of 2016.

Our speaker will be Kathy Willoughby of Turnwill Gardens on the Jasper Road, 379 Road 17. Kathy will be speaking about the art of preserving, explaining the whole process. She will have her own preserves available for purchase as well. Kathy hopes to have a hands-on workshop on Sept. 19 if there are enough interested members.

There will be a sign-up sheet available. You have the option of bringing your own fruits or veggies to preserve or you can purchase them from her at the workshop.

Back in June, yes way back then, our winners of the photo contest were: Carol Stanley first, Brian Bellevue second and Bob Stanley third. There were five submissions and a healthy 30 votes. The topic for September is Animal’s Enjoying Nature’s Jewels.

The final contest for October is Fall’s Changing Colours. This is a people’s choice contest so members, enjoy the

Smiths Falls Horticultural Society photos and vote for your favourite.

In July a number of members enjoyed a day out visiting four of our members’ gardens. It is so uplifting and amazing to see what our hosts have been able to achieve through imagination, dedication and hard work. We were able to learn about new plants, what they look like and where they are the happiest in the garden. We also learned about the evolution of their landscapes with some interesting before and after displays. We wish to thank Linda and Steve Svarckopf, Marcia and Barry Phillips, Carol and Bob Stanley and Anita and Josef Frigan. Thank you for sharing your gardens and for all of the work you had in preparing for our visit. Members enjoyed their lunches at Anita’s before heading off to nearby Rideau Woodland Ramble.

Interest continues to grow in our Garden of the Month feature. We have had a large number of nominations

coming in and thank the community for your assistance. It helps us to discover gardens all around town and encourages gardeners to expand their own gardens after viewing the selected gardens. It is becoming a welcome challenge to chose among all of the gardens popping up.

Please have your entries placed by 7 pm.

Our November annual general meeting is being planned and will feature a full turkey dinner with desserts. The cost remains at only $15 and tickets will be available at this and the October meeting.
